Who made her an NPC!.

Chapter 146: Popularity surges, the real protagonist of Zuyuanxing, Bai Fu, is online! [7.9k]

It was half a day later that Bai Fu met the people sent by the Railway Guild and other forces in Haidu.

During this half day, under the supervision of the players, the sea, which had just experienced a great chaos, was safer than before the war. Any evil was brought to justice as soon as it emerged by the players who were looking for tasks to complete.

The amazing efficiency amazed the people from the Railway Guild and other forces, and at the same time, they became more wary of Bai Fu.

Now Bai Fu is only the nominal queen of Zuyuan Star, or she is a well-deserved queen in the eyes of super-powered people. In the eyes of ordinary people, her image is more associated with words such as "strong" and "hero".

But if these undead people who follow Bai Fu do more things like maintaining law and order in Haidu, and once Bai Fu's reputation among the people accumulates to a certain level, then there will surely be many ordinary people who will spontaneously support her as the true queen of Zuyuan Star.

It's getting cold, give Fu Fu a yellow robe.jpg
Living in the wasteland, it doesn't matter who you follow. If that's the case, why not support Bai Fu, who is more amiable than the leaders of other forces in every way?

Moreover, Bai Fu is good-looking. She is also giving a speech on TV and saying a bunch of words that make people sleepy. But at least Bai Fu has the advantage of being pleasing to the eye.

"Fortunately, before we came here, those people above hinted that they were willing to swear allegiance to Bai Fu. Tens of thousands of immortals, plus the number one person in history, are not easy to provoke."

After sitting down in the conference room, the Railway Union agents acted extremely relaxed.

They ate melon seeds and drank water, and even began to think about whether they really should customize a new set of queen's clothes for Bai Fu.

Since they are swearing allegiance, they naturally have to make it ceremonial, otherwise others will doubt whether they are sincere.

Compared with the Railway Guild, the people from the Old Republic and the Human Alliance were a little uneasy, especially the people from the Old Republic. When they thought of the things that Orion, the predecessor of the Old Republic, had done before the Cataclysm, they were worried that Bai Fu would scatter their ashes like she did to the Primarch.

Otherwise, just defect now and cut ties with the Old Republic.

【I cannot live with evil! 】

But can Bai Fu accept it?
It always feels a bit difficult. So far, I have never heard of anyone who has been valued by Bai Fu by lying down and licking her. Even if they want to lick Bai Fu, she may not be willing to let them lick her.

The people of the Old Republic were getting more and more troubled the more they thought about it. In their eyes, Bai Fu was no longer a succubus who was good at charming the undead, but a terrifying demon king.

Bai Fu's comment on this view is -

You are so young! Who says a succubus can’t be a demon king?
She stood in the conference room for a long time, waiting until the people of the Old Republic were scared into sweating profusely before getting to the point.

"I know why you came to see me, so I'll tell you straight away. You don't have to worry about me bringing undead to attack you next. After all, I'm not a demon. Of course, this is assuming that you haven't plotted against me in secret."

The other people in the conference room twitched their lips.

Plotting against you?
Two lives are not enough to do this!
Bai Fu's words made the people of the Old Republic and the Human Alliance feel a little relieved.

"So what are your plans next?"

Bai Fu glanced at the Railway Guild agent and said, "You should have heard some news from Su Li and Igor, right?"

The agent of the Railway Guild nodded repeatedly and said passionately: "We have indeed heard about your plan to rebuild Zuyuan Star. We are very interested in this plan and are willing to join it, accept your command, and contribute to the reconstruction of Zuyuan Star!"

Zuyuan Star Reconstruction Plan?
When this word came out, the people from the other two forces were confused. Could it be that...

"The so-called Zuyuan Star Reconstruction Plan refers to..."

Bai Fu briefly introduced her ideas to everyone in the conference room.

After hearing her words, the people from the Old Republic stood up suddenly, and finally sat back down with embarrassment on their faces.

They were so excited.

They were not wrong. Bai Fu really wanted to promote what she had done in the Goli Desert to the entire Zuyuan Star world. This idea could only be described as crazy.

But if you think about it carefully, this plan is indeed feasible. According to incomplete statistics, there are now hundreds of thousands of undead scattered all over Zuyuan Star. If these hundreds of thousands of undead people listen to Bai Fu and join the reconstruction plan, then let alone rebuilding the entire Zuyuan Star, it is still very likely to truly connect all the large settlements on Zuyuan Star together. In this way, the area where they normally operate can be expanded dozens of times.

The only problem is that if we want to completely rebuild the Zuyuan Star, it is not enough to just kill the mutated life forms. All sources of pollution must be cleaned up. Immortals will not die, not be invincible. If they are contaminated in the process of dealing with the pollution sources, all previous efforts will be wasted. We must think of a countermeasure.

"This is easy. I will let the immortals cooperate with experts in this field to do research. I believe that once we have enough samples, we will be able to quickly develop a truly effective anti-pollution drug." Bai Fu proposed a solution.

As long as you lie down in the laboratory for a while, you can gain experience. Even if you die during the experiment, you will not lose experience. She believes that there will definitely be many players who will take on such tasks.

It really is!
Bai Fu's words made the people in the Old Republic's heartbeats speed up involuntarily.

They looked at each other and saw expectation in each other's eyes. They didn't know what their superiors would think, but at least they themselves were really looking forward to the future that Bai Fu described.

Except for a very small number of people, who would like to struggle to survive in a wasteland with a harsh living environment?

Because their strength far exceeds that of ordinary people, they can live a life far superior to that of ordinary people, but what about their descendants? They dare not guarantee that their descendants will be able to succeed in the wasteland.

"I..." One of the people from the Old Republic was emotional, "I hope what you said is true."

If Bai Fu was not fooling them, then even if the people above did not agree to cooperate with Bai Fu, they would take the initiative to join the Silent Courtyard and shout with those undead people -

Yes, Queen Baifu, we love your teeth!

"Yes, that's all I want to say now. As for the details, we can discuss them slowly when you reach a consensus among yourselves."

Bai Fu smiled and sent away the people sent by the three major forces.

That evening, the TV crew sent by Igor arrived in Haidu.

After cooperating with them in recording the documentary, she gathered those surviving managers of Haidu for a meeting and asked them to continue managing Haidu. These people dared not say no and agreed obediently.

After arranging the affairs of Haidu, Bai Fu set out on the road back to the Silent Garden with the spoils of the expedition.

Because Xia Shi's condition was very bad, even worse than that of Yulia who had just been rescued, she did not drive fast. Two and a half days later, the convoy arrived at Baifu Town via Shelter No. 5.

Just like last time, the residents of Baifu Town held a grand celebration for her. The difference was that this time there were many players standing on both sides of the road who were unable to participate in the operation against the Primarch because of their low levels.

The way these players looked at Bai Fu was much more eager than the way Bai Fu looked at Yulia.

They were very upset.

Why didn't they join the Garden of Silence earlier? Why didn't they complete more tasks and learn a few more skills in this store to improve their strength?
Now, they had completely missed the battle to capture the Primarch and could only watch helplessly as other players in the Garden of Silence made huge profits from the action.

"Ahhh, I'm so jealous."

"Is there any new main quest on Zuyuan Star?"

"There should be."

"After defeating the Primarch, are we going to fight the Old Republic and the Human Alliance next? I must sign up this time!"

"Add me one!"

Bai Fu was originally feeling secretly proud of the players' welcoming welcome, but after eavesdropping on the players' conversation, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but twitch.

That is to say, the people from the Old Republic and the Human Alliance were not here, otherwise they would definitely be frightened by these energetic players.

【Don’t come over here! 】

Bai Fu waved to the NPCs and players on the side of the road. She knew that the players of Zuyuan Star were worried that there would be no main quests to complete after the fall of the Truth Society and the Primarchs, but she did not plan to make public her Zuyuan Star reconstruction plan for the time being.

She had already discussed with Igor that they would unveil the plan in the trailer of the documentary to give it a super advertisement.

In short, let these players hold back for a few days. The longer they hold back, the more they will release their emotions once they find an outlet.

This is very beneficial to her plan to raise her status in Zuyuan Star and make herself popular again.

"Gao Yuan, first arrange a place for Xia Shude and Xia Shi to live, and find a doctor and a nutritionist to see Xia Shi. She has always been weak, and after being locked up for a while, she looks a little malnourished."

In the car, Bai Fu gave Xia Shi a physical examination. My goodness, when she grabbed Xia Shi's feet, she thought she was grabbing the tip of a bamboo chopstick.

However, Xia Shi's arrest this time can be considered a blessing in disguise.

When Bai Fu was checking Xia Shi's body for any abnormalities, she cast a clairvoyance on her and discovered that her attribute panel was very different from when they first met.

The most obvious thing is that she has two new talents in her talent column:

【Mechanical induction】 and 【magnetic resonance】.

The former allows her to gain considerable bonuses in learning mechanical knowledge and manufacturing machinery, while the latter allows her to have bonuses far exceeding those of ordinary mechanics when operating machinery. Moreover, the more machines she operates at the same time, the higher the positive bonus generated between the machines. The effect is similar to the machines that Shattered Star placed in the egg-shaped room to protect herself.

"This is a necessary talent to become a legendary mechanic!"

Bai Fu was somewhat curious about where Xia Shi got these two talents. After reaching out and poking the details button behind the talents and asking Xia Shude, she gradually understood everything.

Starbreaker is actually a very talented mechanic. In order to resurrect himself, he instructed the Primarchs to create many artificial humans, and these artificial humans were genetically edited according to his requirements.

Because of Shattering Star's limited understanding of gene editing technology, and the fact that the Primarchs did not execute it very well, over the years, most of the androids they created did not show outstanding talents. Xia Shi was no exception. In the android training camp, Xia Shi seemed mediocre, otherwise the Primarchs would not have allowed Xia Shude to take her home to raise her.

But the people of Broken Star and the Primarch never expected that Xia Shi had a great talent for luck.

The talent of good luck did not allow Xia Shi to live a happy life with good luck, but her body mutated due to the defects of gene editing and got a positive mutation. It was this mutation that allowed Xia Shi to master two new talents related to mechanics.

Bai Fu understood.

This is called awakening!

She guessed that in the original plot, Xia Shi should have awakened a new talent due to some unexpected event while cooperating with the players, and then turned the situation around in one fell swoop.

As for what that sudden incident was...

Maybe it was Xia Shude's sacrifice to the heaven.

Forge the pain into a heart that pierces the enemy, and sublimate into the Mechanical Queen of Zuyuan Star in despair.

Considering that Xia Shi is more like the protagonist and Yulia is more like the villain, players may be able to see a scene of Xia Shi and Yulia fighting after making some special choices.

But they probably won't have a chance to fight now.

"After all, they have now joined the Court of Silence and become my wings."

If the Garden of Silence wants to grow and develop, it still needs a mechanic to take charge.

Gao Yuan nodded after receiving the order: "I'll arrange it. By the way, the laboratory you asked me to help Yulia build is almost done."

He handed over a key.

"Thanks a lot."

Bai Fu took the key and watched Gao Yuan, Xia Shude and Xia Shi leave, then she turned around.

"Come on, let's go take a look."

Before going to the laboratory, Bai Fu went back home and took out the two pieces of the Pillar of True Spirit that she had hidden.

A few minutes later, in the newly built laboratory.

Yulia was excitedly checking the equipment in the laboratory, and Bai Fu placed the three fragments of the Pillar of True Spirit on the ground one by one.

To her surprise, before she did anything, a deep purple electric flash automatically appeared between the three fragments.

[The True Spirit Pillar is fusing, progress is 1%...]

This process lasted for nearly ten minutes. As the progress bar climbed, the three fragments got closer and closer, and finally merged together with a click, forming a black slab the size of a palm.

Bai Fu used her clairvoyance skill.

[Pillar of the True Spirit (Incomplete)]

【Quality】: Red

[Item Description]: The incomplete Pillar of the True Spirit is rumored to be a rare object born from the Void Ladder, a cosmic wonder. Because it has lost its spirit core, it is now unable to exert its full function.

[Note]: The interstellar pirate Shattered Star hijacked a cargo ship carrying the Pillar of the True Spirit. He was then attacked by an unknown ship. When he was seriously injured and on the verge of death, he accidentally arrived at Zuyuan Star while driving the ship carrying the Pillar of the True Spirit.

The moment the item description popped up, Bai Fu received a new game prompt.

[You have triggered the hidden mission [The Pillar of the True Spirit in the Dark Realm]]

[Task Introduction: The Pillar of the True Spirit that Shattered Star looted during the chaos is an extremely rare psychic item. Many forces in the Sea Lion Galaxy are very interested in this Pillar of the True Spirit. Now that the Pillar of the True Spirit has fallen into your hands, how to deal with it will depend on you.]

Mission objectives:
Branch 1. Hand over the Pillar of the True Spirit to the Red Moon Mercenary Group, reward -300 million experience points, unlock the Red Moon Mercenary Group's camp favorability, unknown;
Branch 2. Hand over the Pillar of the True Spirit to the Consecration Cult, reward -300 million experience points, unlock the Consecration Cult camp favorability, unknown;
Branch 3. Hand over the Pillar of the True Spirit to the Stone Crystal Security Company, and you will be rewarded with -300 million experience points, unlock the favorability of the Stone Crystal Security Company camp, 1 Titan credit points, and the Stone Crystal Company Amethyst Customer Card;

Branch 4. Take it for yourself, reward - none. 】

[Note: This mission has a high probability of triggering subsequent missions, depending on your performance when interacting with other forces]

Bai Fu took a look at the mission introduction. Although the mission was not explained in detail, she felt that in order to complete the mission better and trigger subsequent missions, she should hand over the complete Pillar of True Spirit instead of the incomplete one in her hand.

"A complete Pillar of True Spirit." Bai Fu looked up and her eyes fell on Yulia.

She thought she had almost figured out the current situation. The reason why Yulia awakened her psychic talent was most likely because she accidentally merged with the spirit core that flew out after the True Spirit Pillar exploded.

She didn't know how to get the spirit core back. Maybe she had to kill Yulia, so her answer was that she would not give the Pillar of True Spirit to anyone else.

I picked this up, why should I give it to others!
"They are fused together? Well, the pattern on the stone slab is exactly the same as the one on my body."

Just as Bai Fu was thinking, Yulia walked up to her.

Yulia opened her collar without any hesitation, her spiritual energy rotated, and a purple pattern slowly emerged at the entrance of the canyon.

Bai Fu's eyes were dazzled by the large pattern.

“Any in-depth findings?”

Yulia asked seriously.

Bai Fu: “…”

As he asked, he bent down and moved closer, "Are you doing this on purpose?"

Bai Fu handed the True Spirit Pillar to Yulia: "The True Spirit Pillar has something called a Spirit Core. Your power should come from that Spirit Core. Because the Spirit Core is lost, this True Spirit Pillar is now incomplete."

"Is that so?"

Yulia nodded as if she understood, then placed the Pillar of True Spirit in the middle of the pattern on her body.

After two seconds, she said regretfully, "What a pity. I thought I could suck out the spirit core and give it to you this way."

She put the Pillar of True Spirit back into Bai Fu's hand.

Okay, okay, you’re just going to put on a cold face and play this seriously, right?
It was the first time that Bai Fu had seen such an aggressive woman.

Fortunately, she had discussed with Yulia before, otherwise she would have been fooled and thought that Yulia was a fool.

Forget it, I won’t bother with this scheming woman.

Bai Fu was just about to put away the Pillar of True Spirit when something outrageous happened. The Pillar of True Spirit in her hand suddenly broke into three pieces again.

"?"

[Fragment of the Pillar of the True Spirit]: After wearing it, you can enjoy the blessing from Yulia.

Bai Fu's eyes widened, and she quickly clicked on the detailed explanation. This blessing was actually the [Consecration Link] buff that appeared after she touched the pattern on Yulia's chest, which gave her all attributes +10.

The difference is that [Consecration Link] only lasts for 4 hours, while the buff will always exist as long as the fragments of the Pillar of the True Spirit are worn, and there are three fragments of the Pillar of the True Spirit in total.

"One for me, one for Anya, and one for Xia Shi. That's just enough to share."

Well done!

Bai Fu patted Yulia's shoulder gently. If Yulia hadn't squeezed the Pillar of True Spirit, she really wouldn't have known that the Pillar of True Spirit had such an effect.

The effect of the consecration link will increase as Yulia's strength increases. It seems necessary to find a way to get some props to enhance Yulia's strength. After all, she is now bound to Yulia. The stronger Yulia is, the stronger she will become.

Yulia stared at Bai Fu in confusion.

Here it comes again, that weird look!

She was very sure that she was greedy for Bai Fu, but how did Bai Fu see her?
This is puzzling. It seems that more radical attempts are needed.

After leaving the laboratory, Bai Fu took Yulia straight to the spaceship they found in the territory of the Primarch.

This time she stepped on the accelerator to the bottom and sped all the way, arriving at the spaceship in only half the time it took to return to Baifu Town. The price she paid was that Yulia, whose physical fitness was far inferior to hers, was made to vomit by her.

"Not everyone's physical fitness is as abnormal as yours!"

Bai Fu's physical fitness is so amazing that Yulia began to worry about her future.

"Yes, yes, I will pay attention next time."

Bai Fu pulled Yulia into the spaceship.

As she expected, the computer on the spaceship recognized not the empty shell of the Pillar of True Spirit, but the spirit core that had been integrated into Yulia's body. In other words, Yulia became the key to the spaceship.

[Authentication completed, cargo ship RX0713 is waiting for new instructions from its owner]

In the cabin of the cargo ship, a blue virtual figure appeared in front of Bai Fu, speaking the international common language of Zuyuan Star that it learned from Shattered Star.

Yulia handed over the command to Bai Fu, who asked, "Can the ship now return to the galaxy you were in before?"

The AI ​​replied: "Since the spacecraft was attacked before and encountered an accident during the landing process, I suggest that the spacecraft conduct a comprehensive self-inspection before returning."

“How long will the overhaul take?”

"Three days. After the self-inspection is completed, based on the technological level displayed by this planet, the repair will take about one to two months."

Two months at most?
Bai Fu didn't care. After finding a way to leave Zuyuan Star, she was not in a hurry to leave now.

Her plan was to wait until the reconstruction plan of Zuyuan Star was on track, and then she would become the true queen and true protagonist of Zuyuan Star, and then leave with all the resources harvested from Zuyuan Star and a large amount of experience gained from the players.

This is a safer approach.

With these experiences and resources, she only needs to collect higher-level psychic knowledge in the starry sea and complete the corresponding promotion tasks to quickly raise her level. She doesn't need to work hard in the starry sea and start from scratch.

"Can you teach me the interstellar common language?" Bai Fu asked.

The AI ​​immediately transferred the language knowledge it had organized to Bai Fu. Relying on the learning function of the game, it only took Bai Fu an hour to successfully master the interstellar common language.

Great, this makes her look more like a real alien!

"Notify me once the self-inspection is complete and I will help you gather the materials needed for the repair."

"receive."

Bai Fu drove here, and it was easy to go back. The spaceship soared into the sky and landed near Baifu Town in just an hour.

"After all, it's just an ordinary cargo ship. Its speed is still too slow when flying on the surface of the planet."

Bai Fu shook her head and planned to get a better spaceship after reaching the starry sea.

After getting off the spaceship, she stuffed the interstellar common language into the store of the faction copy and sold it as a new product, priced at 3000 experience points.

This action quickly attracted the attention of the players in the Garden of Silence.

[Look, there's a new item in the store, [Interstellar Universal Language]. Damn, this thing is for preparing for entering the Star Ocean, right? Could it be that the next version will be the Star Ocean version?]

The players in the Silent Garden suddenly became excited.

Players on other planets were confused.

No, man, we are still crawling on the ground, and you are going to go to heaven?

No, you can't!

[I think it shouldn’t be]

I think so.

[I don’t know if it is, but I can tell you for sure that the big one is coming! ]

Just as the players of the Silent Garden were arguing with players from other planets, a player from the Railway Guild suddenly brought big news.

What's big?

[I don't know either, but judging from the reaction of the Railway Guild NPC, it must be very big! ]

[How big is very big? ]

[Fufu is so big]

Soon, players from the Old Republic and the Human Alliance also jumped out.

[I testify that he is right, the big one is indeed coming! ]

[Okay, okay, if I’m not as big as Fu Fu by then, I’ll fight you guys.]

Players were arguing happily in the community, but as time went on, some careful players discovered that the atmosphere on Zuyuan Star was indeed a little different since the Primarch was defeated by Bai Fu.

In the ten days that followed, many people came to Baifu Town, and Baifu also went out several times.

On the tenth day, a new piece of news suddenly spread.

[Please tune in to the Railway Guild's Agate Channel at 8pm. Bai Fu, a superpower known as Silver Moon, will be a guest on Agate Channel to share with us her views on the future of Zuyuan Star.]

I go!

This news instantly set off a sensation in various settlements, shelters, and player communities on Zuyuan Star.

The future of Zuyuan Star?

This live broadcast topic is really fucking big!
[Hurry up, don’t watch it alone, start a live broadcast when you watch it, we want to watch it together]

When the time finally came to eight o'clock, NPCs and players from all over Zuyuan Star were crowded in front of TV or radio.

Igor's voice came out: "Since the fall of the Truth Society and the Primarchs, Bai Fu, this name has become the focus of Zuyuan Star. Who is Bai Fu, why is Bai Fu so powerful, why does Bai Fu want to deal with the Truth Society and the Primarchs, and what Bai Fu wants to do after this, this is a question that many people are concerned about. Today, we specially opened a program called "Fireside Chat", and the first guest of the program is Bai Fu!"

Amid cheers and applause, Bai Fu, wearing the elegant yet mysterious special uniform of the Garden of Silence, appeared on the TV screen.

Following the format of the original rehearsal, Bai Fu and Igor started chatting. She answered some of Igor's questions one by one, and said that she would cooperate with Igor to shoot a documentary that would detail the entire story of the world war and the catastrophe on Zuyuan Star.

"A lot of information is being made public for the first time, so please stay tuned. I think everyone living on Zuyuan Star is qualified to know what caused the world we live in to become what it is now, but..."

Having said that, Bai Fu suddenly stood up.

“Rather than looking back, I want to look forward to the future.”

"I often think about a question. I have lived in this world for many years. One day, when I decide to travel far away, I must do something for it."

"Before today's show, I held many consultations with the Railway Guild, the Old Republic, and the Human Alliance. We all agreed that after eliminating the hidden dangers of Zuyuan Star, it is time to return Zuyuan Star to its original state!"

"A world where you can travel far and wide freely, a world where you don't have to worry about being attacked by mutant life forms along the way!"

"I have already verified it in the Goli Desert. I believe that the successful experience of the Goli Desert can be extended to the entire Zuyuan Star. Here, I sincerely call on..."

Bai Fu's impassioned voice penetrated time and space, touching the hearts of the vast majority of Zuyuanxing NPCs who were listening to her speech.

Especially after the leaders of the Railway Guild and other forces came to the Agate Platform to support her, everyone had an uncontrollable thought in their hearts -

What if it really succeeds?

The show has not ended yet, but at this moment, Bai Fu has become the most popular super idol on Zuyuan Star. Queen, goddess, all kinds of titles have fallen on her head like raindrops.

The players watching the live broadcast were also excited.

Before, they had been wondering if there would be no main quest on Zuyuan Star after the Truth Society and the Primarchs were sent away. But Bai Fu's words clearly told them that they needed a main quest?

Tell me, is the main plot of rebuilding Zuyuan Star important?

From the Goli Desert to the Zuyuan Star, from destruction to construction, from a passer-by in major events to a hero of the Zuyuan Star, if you perform well, your name will even be left on the planet of Zuyuan Star forever and become the name of a city or a landmark building. All of these are too tempting for players.

[I have always wondered who the protagonist of Zuyuanxing is, the five NPCs that appeared on the official website? Now I am sure that Zuyuanxing has only one true protagonist——

Fufu! 】

Bai Fu's live TV broadcast was a huge success beyond expectations.

The photo of her bowing to the audience in front of the TV, standing up and raising her right hand to shout "Long live Zu Yuanxing" became Zu Yuanxing's annual photo, and also became the cover of a large number of posts in the community and a large number of videos on video websites.

After the live broadcast ended, Bai Fu immediately opened the community.

She has already made her move, and now it depends on how the players and planners will react.

PS: Although the update is late because I wrote 1000 more words than expected, I am still sorry. It seems that it is a bit difficult to update before nine o'clock. I will try to ensure that it is around ten o'clock.
