Who made her an NPC!.

Chapter 148 Super Evolution, Bai Fu, the richest woman on Zuyuan Star! [7.2k]

The game’s official website has actually posted a lot of background information related to Star Ocean, and has repeatedly stated in previous Q&A sessions that the Star Ocean map will be officially opened in version 2.0.

However, the information on the official website is relatively general, and it only briefly introduces the basic conditions of the three major civilizations in the universe and the areas explored by the three civilizations.

For example, the culture of the Reborn Empire is extremely inclusive, and all kinds of strange things can be seen here. For example, the mainstream civilization of the Supernova Legion is very martial, and they are the force that likes to explore the dark side of the universe (the unexplored area of ​​the universe) the most. Another example is Titan Industries, which likes to do business and is a paradise for technological schools. They like "big" aesthetically, and this "big" not only refers to the big and beautiful technological creations and architecture, but also refers to big and beautiful in other aspects.

In order to better highlight Titan Industries' pursuit of big and beautiful, the official has put a lot of pictures on the introduction page of Titan Industries. The most typical one is a gigantic planetary mothership and a humanoid female super-powered person called the Venateus Lord.

Although the official did not give any detailed explanation of the two pictures, the planetary mothership and the female super-powered person in the pictures have won the favor of a large number of players because of their size and beauty.

Bai Fu also likes to read these, but compared to the three major forces that are still very far away from her, she hopes to obtain information about the star map opened in version 2.0. This is the help to make a living.

Good news, in this version 1.3 update preview video, the official finally brought the news she wanted!
What Star Girl and Q Version Fu Fu mainly talk about is actually the influence of players on the development of the main storyline of the game.

Q version Fu Fu: [Each novice planet has more than one main line and hidden main line. So, among these main lines, which one is the most important? ]

Qunxingniang: [There is no such thing as the most important thing. All we do is to guide players to cross the barriers of the world and come to this world full of countless wonders. As for which of these main storylines has a greater impact, it depends on the development of the world itself and the players' participation in the story.]

Q version Fu Fu: [In other words, as long as players exert enough influence, they can make their favorite plot become the "main" plot and enjoy a truly immersive experience? ]

Qunxingniang: [Yes, since today's guest is Fufu, let's take Zuyuanxing as an example. In the original setting of Zuyuanxing, the five major forces confronted each other, and it was uncertain who would have the last laugh. It might be the Truth Society, or it might be the Primarch. In the subsequent plot, many players chose to support Fufu. With their efforts, Fufu's story became the most dazzling story on Zuyuanxing.]

Q version Fu Fu: [I see, the Star Girl explained it very clearly]

Qunxingniang: [In fact, players have a huge impact on the development of the game. By ending the main storyline early and finding key items early, you can not only start new storylines early, but also have the opportunity to enter unopened maps.]

Q version Fu Fu: [The unopened map, does it mean the starry sky? ]

Star Girl: [Yes, recently some players have been sending private messages to Star Girl, and Star Girl will give a unified explanation here. Version 2.0 is the version of the Star Ocean event, but this does not mean that players have to wait until version 2.0 to enter the Star Ocean. It’s just that this condition is very harsh. The specific method is left for all players to explore on their own. Let’s take a look at the new column [Traveling among the Stars] brought to you by this update preview.]

The so-called "Free Tour of the Stars" means that after the explanation of the updated content, the Star Girls and guests will take the players to appreciate the scenery of the new version.

In the first episode of Touring the Stars, the video showcases the wonders of each novice planet, and at the end of the column, takes the Sea Lion Galaxy, where star fragments are active, as an example to take players on a tour of the starry sky.

A passenger ship equipped with a hyperspace drive, a huge and fantastic ring world, a star gate surrounded by countless ships...

These scenes caused players to have a frenzy in the barrage, and many players were already dreaming of driving a starship across the universe.

Bai Fu was more pragmatic than them. She quickly drew a relationship diagram of the various forces mentioned by Qunxing Niang on her notebook.

"The main controller of the Sea Lion Galaxy is the Star Network Community, which is composed of multiple civilizations. The Sea Lion Galaxy belongs to a galaxy cluster called the Initial Gate, which is named because it is located at the top of a cosmic wall called the Edge World. The Edge World is located in the middle of the explored universe and the unexplored dark domain. It is influenced by the three major forces at the same time, but the Sea Lion Galaxy is generally the sphere of influence of Titan Industries."

"The Sea Lion Galaxy is located on the edge of the world, so it is generally quite chaotic. Interstellar thieves, space criminals, and heretical groups are rampant. However, the area controlled by the Star Network Community is relatively stable."

"It is precisely because of the chaos that the Sea Lion Galaxy has many private armed companies and interstellar mercenary groups. So the Stone Crystal Security Company is one of the top five private armed companies? No wonder Shattered Star is so afraid of it."

Forces of this level probably don't have to bow down to the StarNet Community.

"We can't let them know that the Pillar of the True Spirit is in my hands, especially we can't let them know that Yulia has merged with the core of the Pillar of the True Spirit."

Bai Fu is skeptical about the ethics of unregulated private security companies.

As for the Red Moon Mercenaries and the Consecration Cult mentioned by Shattered Star, although they were not mentioned in the update preview, she did not dare to let her guard down.

"There are many roads to enter the Sea Lion System, but the one with the highest throughput is definitely the Kalinas Starport. The Kalinas Starport is near the Sea Lion System's best hyperspace entrance and jump slingshot, which can greatly save the consumption of ships for long-distance travel."

Bai Fu, who was sitting on the bed, poked the star port icon drawn on the notebook with her toes.

Is it really safe to take this route to the Sea Lion Galaxy? Although a hundred years have passed since the Starshatter robbed the Pillar of True Spirit, who can guarantee that those forces will not have people waiting in ambush at the Kalinas Starport?
If someone was hiding there, she would probably be arrested as soon as she showed her head. It was impossible for those forces to not remember what the spaceship that Shattered Star stole looked like.

"Looks like we have to take a long detour."

Bai Fu was secretly thinking of a countermeasure in her heart.

She traveled across the starry sea to the Sea Lion Galaxy, not to go to jail. Although there are always players who like to call her Laofu, it would be funny if she really became Laofu by accident.

Bai Fu swiped back the video a few times, and after the "Exploring the Stars" column ended, the exact time of the 1.3 version update popped up on the screen. Just like before the 1.2 version update, this time it was also 10 days after the trailer was released.

[New version, new atmosphere, I wish you all more happiness in this living world, see you next time! ]

The update trailer video ends here, but the impact of the video has just begun to ferment.

This update trailer did not mention any new features, but not many players care about this now. The first thing they think of is the conversation between Qunxingmusu and Q version of Fufu.

The amount of information in this conversation is really too much. What shocked the players the most is that as long as they find the right method, they can actually sneak into the Star Sea before the Star Sea version is released!

[Fuck, has this game become so free? ]

[No, this is a bit exaggerated, doesn't it mean that the map and plot of this game have been completed long ago? Is this really something that a human can make a game? ]

[The group of people on Zuyuan Star were really lucky. They supported Fu Fu and accidentally found a shortcut to the sea of ​​stars.]

[Ahhh, I want to severely condemn the players from Zuyuan Star on behalf of the players from Indigo Star! ]

[It should be impossible for everyone to follow Fu Fu to the Star Sea. Zuyuan Star does not have such a large spaceship. By then, Fu Fu will most likely not bring any players, or only bring a few players.]

[Indeed, I think so too]

The topic of sneaking across the starry sea in advance topped the popularity rankings of the gaming community at an incredibly fast speed, and swept through video sites and some social networking sites half an hour later, creating a big advertisement for Above the Stars. As the special guests of the update preview video and the protagonists of the typical case, Q version Fu Fu and Big White Fu also gained popularity by taking advantage of this popularity.

Seeing this scene, Bai Fu was in a good mood.

The reason why the official used her deeds as an example is probably because they were afraid that players from other planets would see that the players from Zuyuan Star followed her to the starry sky and would feel it was unfair and come after them.

Regardless of whether this is the official purpose, this time the official has given her an assist. Now all the players of Zuyuan Star believe that as the plot develops, they can follow her to the starry sky in advance. The only question is how many people she will bring this time.

Will he bring only the Digger along, like he did when he ran away from the Primarch before, or will he bring more players along?

Nobody knows.

But the players of Zuyuan Star are well aware that the competition has arrived!

"Oh no!"

The next morning, Bai Fu had just gotten out of bed and was washing up when she received an urgent call from Su Li.

"What's wrong? Have you encountered another advanced mutant life form that you can't solve?"

Su Li on the other end of the terminal smiled bitterly: "If that's all, then it's fine. You should pack up and come to my side. I don't know what happened. Since last night, the undead who followed you have gathered together and kept fighting. They have been fighting for a full eight hours. People here are almost scared by them. If you don't solve the problem, I'm afraid your plan to rebuild Zuyuan Star will not be able to go forward."

The players started fighting, and the fight lasted for a full eight hours?

Bai Fu was confused after hearing this.

What kind of superman is this? Even the five tiger generals who were famous on Tieba back then were not as awesome as him!
"Wait a minute, let me ask about the situation."

Bai Fu quickly opened the community and found out the cause and effect of the matter in the Zuyuan Xingzi section.

The fight that Su Li mentioned was actually offline PK, and the reason why these players suddenly gathered together for PK while doing a mission was because they watched the update trailer video released by the official.

[How many players do you think Fufu will take with her this time? 】

[I don’t know, but I think the point is not this, but what kind of players Fu Fu will take with her]

[Good relationship? High contribution? Or strong ability? ]

A heated discussion broke out among the players of Zuyuanxing around this issue.

Although they didn't know what Bai Fu would choose, all the players reached a consensus after a big discussion -

Only the strong are worthy of owning Fu Fu!
This is a high-level map, which is naturally full of high-level monsters. If a novice goes there, not only will he be unable to help Fu Fu, but will also cause trouble for Fu Fu.

But even though consensus was reached, a new problem soon emerged:

Who is the so-called strong man who can possess Fu Fu?
Player A said he was, and Player B also said he was. When the verbal PK could not produce a result, the players working under Su Li spontaneously gathered together to engage in offline PK.

Bai Fu: “…”

You guys are really free.

wrong!

At the moment of rolling her eyes, Bai Fu suddenly realized that this was a good opportunity to kill another wave of players before leaving Zuyuan Star.

The offline PK held by these players is an unlimited fighting mode, with no restrictions on weapons and props. If she can persuade all the players on Zuyuan Star to participate in this offline PK, how many prayer cards and skill and professional knowledge books can she sell by then?
These days, Bai Fu has earned more than 3000 million experience points by selling Interstellar Common Language. Although this number is large, it now costs her more than 600 million experience points to level up. This experience point is only enough for her to level up 4 times after completing the job transfer task. She is quite dissatisfied with this efficiency.

But no matter how dissatisfied she is, she can't whip those players who are reluctant to spend experience to buy Interstellar Common Language, right?
"Spit it out, damn it, quickly spit out all the experience you have hidden to me! If you don't, I will use more drastic measures. You don't want to be trampled by me, do you?"

The experience of doing this is that you are well fed, but what are the consequences?

Perhaps the image of the conscientious Fu Fu that she had previously created collapsed in an instant, and she turned into a greedy cat and a bad woman.

Now, these players have given her new ideas.

"If I had taken the initiative to propose the PK selection, the impact would probably not be much better. But now the players are taking action on their own. I only need to cooperate with them a little bit and I can squeeze them all dry and make a lot of money without damaging my good reputation!"

How cool it is.

Bai Fu was happy. She comforted Su Li with a few words, then hurried out to find Anya and asked Anya to cooperate with her in performing a play in front of Digging Ji.

As the player who is best at imagining things in the Silent Garden, Digger Ji stepped into the trap.

【Big news, big news】

After Bai Fu and Anya walked away, Digging Ji logged into the community immediately and posted a new post.

[I just overheard the conversation between Fufu and Anya. Because it happened suddenly, I forgot to take a video, so I will just briefly retell it now. It is mainly related to heading to the starry sky.]

This topic immediately attracted the attention of most players on Zuyuan Star.

Digging Ji: [Just now Fu Fu and Anya were discussing the size of the spaceship. Fu Fu said that after the spaceship was filled with supplies, it could accommodate another 100 people. It was very spacious. Anya suggested that Fu Fu take some players to leave Zuyuan Star together. Fu Fu thought this was a good suggestion, but she hadn't decided who to take. Anya said to bring more powerful players so that they could help do more things. Fu Fu hesitated for a long time and did not directly agree with Anya's words. She just said that she would ask which players were more powerful when the time came.] Digging Ji's retelling was very effective.

Who is more powerful?
That has to be me!

Zuyuanxing's master is here!
For a while, the players of Zuyuan Star gathered together spontaneously and took advantage of the gaps in missions to engage in crazy PK. In order to achieve better results in PK, many players gritted their teeth and bought prayer cards or skills that they did not urgently need.

It's not a big problem if your level stops rising for a few days. What's important is to get good results in PK. If you're lucky enough to be noticed by Fu Fu and get the chance to go to the starry sky, then all the losses you've suffered before will be nothing.

From that day on, many players of Zuyuan Star started living a life of completing tasks during the day and playing PK at night.

Su Li was almost numb from watching. What kind of superheroes were these? They did so much work during the day and yet still had the energy to fight at night.

She contacted Bai Fu: "Are you really going to leave Zuyuan Star and go to the starry sky? If you leave, who can control these undead people whose strength is getting stronger and stronger?"

Bai Fu said, "Don't worry. I'm gone, but Old Nissen and the others are still here. Even though they are far away, I can still manage the undead on Zuyuan Star through the undead I brought with me. If you run into any trouble, you can contact me at any time through the undead."

"That's true, but..."

Su Li shook her head and sighed. She actually wanted to go to the Star Sea to take a look, but her qualifications might not be enough to support her to survive in the Star Sea.

"Let me know when you leave, and I'll see you off."

"it is good."

Bai Fu looked up at the cloudless night sky.

There is nothing to be sad about. She is not leaving and will never come back. Once she has established a foothold in the starry sea, she will definitely find a way to return to Zuyuan Star and bring more players to explore the starry sea with her.

……

There are only a few days left before the 1.3 version update. During these days, Bai Fu has been squeezing experience from players while running around collecting supplies that she is going to take to the starry sea.

She ordered several sets of brand new combat uniforms from the most powerful mechanic on Zuyuan Star, and stocked up several large boxes of materials for making prayer cards. Finally, she cleared out a room on the spaceship and moved all of Yulia's experimental equipment into it.

In this way, Yulia can conduct experiments with peace of mind even during a boring space journey.

In fact, Bai Fu originally planned to set up a workshop for Xia Shi, but this proposal was rejected by Xia Shi.

"You really don't plan to go to the starry sky with me?"

Xia Shi's face was full of melancholy. She stood under the eaves, looking like a weak literary girl. When she heard Bai Fu's words, she forced a smile.

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

Bai Fu said, "I don't mind, and you are not necessarily a burden. At least you can help me a lot in mechanical manufacturing."

Xia Shi said, "Didn't you say you would come back? I will wait for you on Zuyuan Star. When you come back, you will see me who has walked out of the emptiness in my heart. During your absence, I will do my best to protect everything you left behind, Baifu Town, Silent Garden, your plan to rebuild Zuyuan Star... I will fight for my life for it. Anyone who dares to tarnish your ideals, I will send him to death without mercy!"

This sounds touching, but also a little scary.

ha?
Bai Fu asked, "No, what about your own ideal?"

Xia Shi gently stroked the fragment of the True Spirit Pillar worn on her chest: "The Zuyuan Star you created is the Zuyuan Star I saw in my dream. When there was a hole in my heart, you were trying your best to fill that hole in me. My current ideal is to hope that you can realize your ideal."

My goodness, have you transformed into a Fu guard?

——You seem to be a little unfaithful to Fu Fu, I will kill you!

Bai Fu looked at Xia Shi with increasingly strange eyes, but Xia Shi seemed not to notice anything unusual in her eyes and gave her a smile as warm as spring breeze.

Okay, this is fine. Xia Shi’s current level is indeed a bit low. The most appropriate choice is to let her stay on Zuyuan Star to level up with the help of players, and by the way, stay with her father for a while to mend the inner rift.

"I will leave you some high-level prayer cards. With these prayer cards, no one on Zuyuan Star can hurt you."

As Bai Fu was speaking, Xia Shi suddenly stretched out her hands and held her right hand in her palms. Then, Xia Shi lowered her forehead and lightly touched her fingertips.

"I'm praying that we'll see each other again one day."

"Yes, I always keep my word."

Bai Fu hugged Xia Shi gently.

……

Two days before the 1.3 version update, Bai Fu received another call from Su Li.

"Did those undeads provoke you again?"

Su Li said, "No, they didn't cause trouble this time. It was the Human Alliance who caused the trouble. The Human Alliance found that many of the undead were mutants. They are now throwing a tantrum and said they would never cooperate with those undead. Their disturbance has greatly extended the construction period of the camp. I think this problem must be properly handled, otherwise, if you are not around in the future, who knows what will happen."

It really is.

The original founders of the Human Alliance suffered greatly from the rebellion of mutants, and therefore were extremely hostile to mutants.

"Let me talk to them. Don't worry, I won't fight with them. You don't have to come all the way here to support me."

Bai Fu immediately contacted the top leaders of the Alliance.

"I've heard about your conflict with those undead."

The leader of the Human Alliance said in a low voice: "Queen Silver Moon, I personally respect you very much. You have changed the situation of Zuyuan Star. You have made Zuyuan Star look hopeful. However, we have our principles. I hope..."

"Haha." Bai Fu interrupted the other party, "I'm not here to call you to task today. I completely understand how you feel. I just want to have a good chat with you. I'm sure you've heard some rumors that I'm planning to leave Zuyuan Star."

The leader of the Human Alliance was silent for a long time and gave a positive answer.

"The starry sea is huge, so huge that Zuyuan Star is not even a grain of sand in the sea. In such a vast world, countless civilizations have been born, performing countless epic civilizations, cooperation, war... In the starry sea, similar plots are always being played out. One day, Zuyuan Star will also enter the starry sea and become a node in the cosmic civilization network. If we want to survive in such a cosmic network with evolution as the eternal theme, what else can we do except evolve together? I won't force you. Even if you insist on withdrawing from the plan, I won't retaliate against you. The choice is in your hands. What position and angle to consider, how to make a judgment, it all depends on you."

"I'll think about it."

After finishing the conversation with the Human Alliance, Bai Fu shrugged.

Ever since she made the decision to leave Zuyuan Star, she has become calm.

Although I clearly yearn for the stars and the sea, I still feel reluctant to leave.

Forget it, since I have to leave eventually, I might as well leave my mark on this planet before I go.

Bai Fu found Gao Yuan and asked him to help her build a big statue in the square of Bai Fu Town.

"In fact, I have already sent people to secretly make the statue, and I am sure that the statue will be erected before you leave Zuyuan Star."

So smart?

Bai Fu raised her eyebrows slightly: "Then I will look forward to it."

Gao Yuan smiled and said, "Don't worry. By the way, this is the weekly sales data of your peripherals. The data is very impressive. Even the most famous female idol in Zuyuan Star is not one-tenth of you. Counting other income, I estimate that you will become the richest person in Zuyuan Star in a while."

Bai Fu looked at the data. Although she had expected it, she was still shocked when she saw the numbers.

This is what it means to really make money like water!

It's a pity that the money earned on Zuyuan Star cannot be brought to Xinghai, and most of the materials on Zuyuan Star cannot be sold at a high price in Xinghai. She can only invest the money in building Zuyuan Star, providing better services to players and attracting more players to support her.

“It would be great if I could replicate Zu Yuanxing’s actions in the Star Sea and become a popular idol.”

After entering the star sea, her expenses would certainly be greater, and she needed to find a stable way to make money.

Bai Fu thought secretly that even if she became a popular idol, relying solely on selling peripheral products did not seem to be a long-term solution. She did not have enough time to release records and make movies. She had to think of a better way to monetize her popularity.

"Bringing goods?"

This seems good, as the same clothes as hers are selling quite well, but she has to choose a reliable partner to help her build a business empire. Gao Yuan has done a good job, but Gao Yuan's strength is too ordinary, and it is too dangerous to go to the star sea with her.

"How about looking for players to cooperate?"

The first person Bai Fu thought of was the wealthy woman, Calamity Dragon, who often worked with Digger Ji.

She clicked on Digging Ji's live broadcast room, wanting to see if Digging Ji and the Dragon of Calamity were together now.

When she opened the live broadcast room, she actually saw Digger Ji and Calamity Dragon sitting together, and Calamity Dragon was constantly complaining.

[You know, I recently encountered a very troublesome thing. Didn't Fufu become popular again a few days ago and was on the hot search? Then my dad accidentally saw Fufu while watching the news, and he asked me if she was the NPC in the game I played. I said yes, and I knew Fufu, so he suddenly had an idea and wanted me to ask Fufu to help his company advertise. Advertising is a common thing, but this time my dad actually wanted to ask Fufu to advertise. I can only say that he has a great vision, but the problem is how can I ask Fufu about this kind of thing?]

[If I remember correctly, the rich lady’s family sells drinks, right? ]

[Yes, in order to advertise, my dad even hired someone to make the drink in the game]

The Dragon of Natural Disaster picked up two bottles of drinks from the ground with a grim look on his face.

When players were discussing passionately in the barrage, Bai Fu had an idea.

This seems like a good opportunity to increase my fame and gain popularity.

Finding the dragon of natural disasters, drinking the drink seemingly unintentionally, and then praising the drink for its taste is simply the perfect advertisement.

She was very sure that this incident would definitely make her popular again.

The first NPC among the stars to advertise real-life products?

What a resounding name!

This will inevitably attract the attention of many people who don't pay attention to the stars. If she takes this opportunity to release a documentary, the effect will be...

So fierce!
Bai Fu became excited.
