When You Become an NPC That Might Die Any Moment in the Novice Village

Bai Fu: "..."

You guys really have too much free time.

No, wait!

While rolling her eyes, Bai Fu suddenly realized this was a great opportunity to fleece the players once more before leaving Ancestral Origin Star.

The players' offline PK, which was a no-limit fight mode that didn't restrict weapons or items, could bring her a fortune if she could entice all of Ancestral Origin Star's players to join. How many Prayer Cards and Skills, Profession Knowledge Books could she sell then?

These days, Bai Fu had already made over 30 million Experience by selling Interstellar Language. Despite that sum seeming large, she now needed over 6 million Experience to level up once, and those Experience points were only enough for her to level up four times after completing the Transferring Professions Task. She was quite unsatisfied with this efficiency.

But even if she was dissatisfied, she couldn't exactly whip those players who were reluctant to spend Experience on Interstellar Language, right?

"Spit it out, dammit, spit out all the Experience you've been hoarding for me! If you don't spit it out now, I'll resort to even more intense measures. You don't want to be trampled by me, do you?"

Doing this would certainly fill her up with Experience, but what would be the consequences?

Probably the instant collapse of the conscientious Fufu image she had built up, turning into a gluttonous cat, a wicked woman.

Now, these players had provided her with a new idea.

"If I were the one to suggest the PK competition, the impact probably wouldn't be any better, but now that the players themselves are moving, I just need to cooperate with them a bit, and I can milk them dry, making a tidy profit without damaging my good reputation!"

How cool would that be.

Bai Fu was thrilled. She consoled Su Li for a few words, then hurried out to find An Ya and staged a play in front of Digging Girl.

As the most imaginative player in Silent Court, Digging Girl stepped right into the trap.

[Big news, big news!]

After Bai Fu and An Ya walked away, Digging Girl promptly logged into the Community and posted a new thread.

[I just happened to overhear a conversation between Fufu and An Ya. It was so sudden that I forgot to record a video, so let me just summarize it, mainly relating to heading to the Starry Sky.]

This topic immediately caught the attention of most of Ancestral Origin Star's players.

Digging Girl: [Just now, Fufu and An Ya were discussing the size of the Spaceship. Fufu said that after loading up with supplies, the Spaceship could accommodate 100 more people, very spacious. An Ya suggested Fufu should take some players with her when leaving Ancestral Origin Star. Fufu found this proposal appealing but didn't know whom to take with her. An Ya then said to take more powerful players to help with more tasks, and after hesitating for a long while, Fufu didn't agree outright with An Ya and only said that she would ask around later to see which players were strong.]

This wave of reporting from Digging Girl had an extraordinary effect.

Who's the strongest?

That's gotta be me!

Ancestral Origin Star's strong players, assemble!

Suddenly, Ancestral Origin Star's players gathered of their own accord, frantically indulging in PK during their mission downtime. To get better results in the PK, many players bit the bullet and bought Prayer Cards or Skills they didn't urgently need.

Having their levels stall for a few days wasn't a big deal; performing well in the PK was. If they were lucky enough to catch Bai Fu's eye and secure the opportunity to head to the Star Sea, what they had lost before would seem trivial.

From that day on, many of Ancestral Origin Star's players started living a liver emperor lifestyle, completing Tasks during the day and PK-ing at night.

Su Li almost went nuts watching this. What kind of Supermen were these, working so hard during the day and still having the energy to fight at night?

She contacted Bai Fu: "Are you really planning to leave Ancestral Origin Star for the Star Sea? If you leave, who will keep these increasingly powerful Undying People in check?"

Bai Fu replied: "Don't worry, even if I'm not here, Old Nison and the others will be. Plus, even from afar, I can still manage Ancestral Origin Star's Undying People through the ones I take with me. If you encounter any trouble, you can contact me at any time through the Undying People."

"That's true, but..."

Su Li shook her head and sighed. Actually, she also wanted to see the Star Sea, but she feared her abilities were far too limited to survive there.

"At least let me know before you leave. I'll come to see you off."

"Sure."

Bai Fu looked up at the cloudless night sky.

There's nothing to be sentimental about. It's not like she won't come back. Once she establishes herself in the Star Sea, she'll definitely find a way to return to Ancestral Origin Star and bring more players with her to explore the Star Sea.

...

With the last few days before the 1.3 version update, Bai Fu split her time between extracting Experience from players and running around gathering the supplies she intended to take to the Star Sea.

She ordered several sets of brand-new Combat Suits from the best mechanic on Ancestral Origin Star, stocked up several large boxes of materials to make Prayer Cards, and finally, cleared out a room on the Spaceship to move all of Julia's experimental equipment inside.

That way, even during the boring space journey, Julia could keep herself busy with experiments.

Initially, Bai Fu also planned to set up a workspace for Xia Shi, but this suggestion was declined by Xia Shi.

"Are you really not considering going to the Star Sea with me?"

With a melancholic face, Xia Shi stood under the eaves, the picture of a fragile literary girl. Hearing Bai Fu's words, she managed a faint smile.

"I really want to go, but I'm too weak now. If I went with you, not only would I not be able to help, but I would also become a burden. You've already saved me once, and I don't want to trouble you a second time, or a third, or even more."
