Who made her an NPC!.

Chapter 154: Like a God descending to the world, Bai Fu brings the fire of hope
On the way to Planet Ulysses, Bai Fu took the opportunity to search for the specific situation of Planet Ulysses on the interstellar network.

In the rim world, a star region located at the junction of the explored universe and the dark domain, some civilizations hidden in the dark domain are discovered every once in a while.

Due to their different locations, the main bodies that discovered these civilizations are different, and their experiences after integrating into the starry sea are also different.

Some dark domain civilizations have developed very well after being integrated into the starry sea. If they are lucky and one or two powerful super-powered people are born in the civilization, they may even have a certain say in the starry sea.

Some dark domain civilizations are rather miserable. Not to mention having the right to speak, even to ensure the normal passage of civilization requires a bit of luck.

The Ulysses civilization where Vic is located is a typical example. Ulysses was originally discovered by a mining team and is connected to the Star Network Community, the main controlling force of the Sea Lion Galaxy, through a wormhole. The Star Network Community is a civilization union composed of multiple civilizations. It has a relatively inclusive cultural attribute and prefers to do business with other civilizations rather than invade and kill.

Therefore, the Ulysses civilization spent a relatively happy period of time when it first integrated into the starry sea. The Star Network Community's investment bank built two star ports on Ulysses and exported a large number of interstellar commodities to Ulysses. However, this good time came to an end with the arrival of the ghost civilization that had caused a dimensional disaster in the Initial Gate Galaxy Cluster.

The ghost civilization that lost the war of civilizations has become a terrorist organization, and every move it makes will inevitably bring disaster.

Their attack forced the StarNet Community to shrink its forces, and the subsequent flood (Zerg attack) made the StarNet Community temporarily unable to pay attention to other things. As time went on, the Ulysses Civilization, which had lost its backing, was targeted by those star sea villains on the Chaos Star Road of the Sea Lion Galaxy, any one of whom could be sentenced to hundreds of years in prison.

They went to Ulysses every now and then to cause trouble. Most of the resources on Ulysses were robbed, and the population was decreasing due to the continuous looting.

Thanks to the fact that the Ulysses civilization had several A-level superpowers with outstanding strength, and sold a lot of assets to hire interstellar hunters, it has been able to survive until now. However, with the sharp decline in assets, those A-level superpowers either died in battle or fled, and now only Vic is left. The Ulysses civilization may have really reached the brink of collapse.

"It's so miserable."

Bai Fu couldn't help but sigh secretly.

If it had not been discovered by the mining team, the Ulysses civilization would probably still be working hard to develop while wondering whether there is any intelligent life like theirs in the universe.

If the ghost civilization had not suddenly emerged to cause trouble, with the assistance of the Star Network Community, although the core culture of the Ulysses civilization would have suffered a severe impact, the quality of life of the Ulysses people would definitely not be too bad.

But, how can there be so many ifs in the world?

The starry sea is full of hope, but it is also cruel. Here there are true saints, but there are also cold blades shouting "I'll destroy you, what does it have to do with you?" You never know which will come first, hope or destruction.

Bai Fu turned her head and found that Vic was praying with his eyes closed.

Carrying the last hope of an entire civilization on his own, Vic indeed has more of a protagonist aura than any "protagonist" she had met before.

But his halo as the protagonist may not necessarily bring him a good experience. Judging from the various information he has revealed so far, Bai Fu feels that in the original plot, the Ulysses civilization will most likely collapse completely. Then, after the players arrive at the starry sea, he will contact the players as "the last ray of flame of civilization" and embark on the difficult road of revenge or rescuing his captured compatriots.

"Relax." Bai Fu comforted Vic.

Vic opened his eyes and forced a smile. His lips were pale and sweat was dripping from his forehead from time to time. It was obvious that he was under a lot of pressure.

Bai Fu didn't say much.

After entering the starry sea, it would no longer be possible for her to personally lead players around to complete missions like she did on Zuyuan Star.

The starry sky is too vast, and even with the support of various spaceships, she cannot take care of all the players. Therefore, when building her own power, she needs to recruit more NPCs to work for her.

"Anya is the chief commander of operations, Yulia is the laboratory director and magic master, and I also need many commanders to carry out specific tasks."

She was thinking whether she could take this opportunity to recruit Vic and let a large group of protagonists work for her. Even if she couldn't become a real protagonist, she would at least be a star sea overlord - Fu Ba.

Just as she was thinking, Vic finally contacted the Ulyses. From the conversation, she learned that the slave traders only had one spaceship, which was equipped with very ordinary weapons and its firepower might not be as good as that of the cargo ship on the Broken Star.

"There are two A-level superpowers, six B-level superpowers, and more than 2 C-level soldiers on the spacecraft. The strength of those C-level soldiers is not very good, but they are all equipped with new heat ray guns and particle guns produced by the Star Network Community, which can pose a certain degree of threat to the A-level superpowers."

Vic's face was grim.

Bai Fu agreed with this deeply, as she had experienced the power of the particle gun.

The information brought by Vic convinced her that it would be easier to defeat this group of slave traders than to destroy the Fire House. After all, Vic was also an A-level superpower, and after killing Lava, she got dozens of guns from Lava, which directly increased the player's combat effectiveness.

"The only problem is that the main goal of this mission is not to eliminate the slave traders, but to rescue people, so a direct attack is not appropriate. If the other party sees that the situation is not right, they might run away."

Bai Fu pondered for a moment.

"It seems that we'd better find a way to lure them into taking the initiative to attack. It would be even better if we can get some of our people to infiltrate their ranks."

Vic nodded. "It's easy to lure the enemy. As long as the spacecraft lands on Ulysses, they will definitely come to investigate. But if we want to infiltrate their interior..."

It's a bit whimsical.

Slave traders are greedy but also cautious. After they capture someone, they will conduct a thorough body search. Therefore, it is basically impossible to send someone to pretend to be captured and infiltrate their group, and then cooperate with them from the inside out.

"You can't say that." Bai Fu smiled, "I think you should get to know me and these brave men who followed me to the Star Sea again."

"Brave?"

Vic was stunned.

It seemed like he hadn't heard this title for some time.

"Their abilities are very special, I hope you won't be too surprised."

Bai Fu nodded at Digging Ji and said, "Dig for treasures, it's time for you to perform!"

okay!

Digging Ji, who had been taking pictures of Bai Fu nearby, ran over immediately after receiving the order.

Vic was a little confused.

special power?

While he was still guessing what Digging Ji's special ability was, Digging Ji suddenly shot himself in the heart.

【Fuck! 】

Not to mention Vic, even the audience who were watching Bai Fu in the live broadcast room were shocked.

[Oh no, I already have a feeling how scared this alien will be]

[Treasure hunting is a life-long activity]

[I don’t think you’ll be scared to death. Xinghai’s medical technology should be trustworthy.]

Looking at the Digger Girl lying on the ground, Vic's brown skin turned green with fear. No, sister, it's just a performance, why are you so cruel?
He rushed forward and stretched out his hand, not knowing what to do, and finally could only look back at Bai Fu.

Please save him, rescue him now, he will be back soon!

But Bai Fu didn't seem to see the anxiety in his eyes: "Don't worry, she's fine."

I can't even breathe, but I'm fine.

Vic gritted his teeth, stood up and prepared to do something. At this moment, he was surprised to find that Digger Ji had "swiped" out in the central hall of the spacecraft.

It just popped up in an instant.

He lowered his head and found that the body on the ground was gone. He raised his head again and found that Digging Ji had walked in front of him.

Vic's brain froze: "Illusion? Dummy? Projection? Cognition of existence? Or..."

"Resurrection." Bai Fu gave the correct answer, "She, and they, all have the ability to resurrect. If you don't believe it, you can verify it again."

"No, no need to verify."

Vic's mouth was slightly open, and a violent storm was brewing in his heart.

He believed it, but the more he believed it, the more shocked he became. Nearly a hundred heroes with the ability to resurrect. Is this a racial talent or something else? You know, even in the starry sea, races with the ability to resurrect are not common. And what about Bai Fu who leads these heroes? What is her identity?
"who are you?"

Anya jumped out in time, looking proud: "You can call the boss Silver Moon, or the Noble Moon."

When it comes to spreading Fumen, her enthusiasm is no less than that of Digging Ji.

[Whoever praises Boss Fu Fu, we are half-brothers and sisters]

「But you guys just blow it, let Anya do the intimate contact with Boss Fufu.」

Silver Moon, the Sublime Moon?
Vic had never heard of this name, but he still kept it in mind.

Now he began to believe that Bai Fu could really help him solve the problem, but the more this happened, the more he felt that he owed her, after all, he only gave Bai Fu 2000 credit points.

This amount of money is not enough to hire Bai Fu, let alone Bai Fu's entire team.

We have to find a way to compensate.

Vic is not the kind of person who likes to be in debt. After all these years in the starry sky, he knows very well that maintaining a balance of interests is the only way to better maintain interpersonal relationships.

He said: "With their abilities, it is indeed easy for them to blend in with the slave traders, but there is a problem. The slave traders will definitely confiscate their weapons. Without weapons, they may not be able to play a big role."

The basic strength of a C-level superpower is still too ordinary.

Bai Fu laughed: "This is not a problem, just don't worry."

No matter how good those slave traders are at body searches, they cannot take away the player's experience. As long as the player has experience, he can buy things in her copy store at any time. At that time, the player can buy a few prayer cards and throw them into the slave trader's spaceship. As long as the spaceship can be blown up and cannot fly, everything will be easy afterwards.

Although Bai Fu did not explain in detail, Vic did not continue to ask this time. He believed that Bai Fu really had a way.

This was the first time he felt relaxed since he received the distress signal, no, since he was the only A-level superpower left in the Ulysses civilization. This relaxation came from the fire of hope that Bai Fu ignited in his heart.

More than a hundred years have passed. After sinking into misery, the Ulysses civilization should finally have its lucky moment, right?
Vic tried to imagine a better future, but he didn't dare to go deeper. He should not treat the people he met in suffering as gods, otherwise the gap between imagination and reality would likely hurt himself.

When the spacecraft passed through the atmosphere and sank into the blue planet Ulysses, Vic, who was standing by the porthole, suddenly sighed.

"In fact, I was called a hero before."

Bai Fu turned around, and the players wandering around playing cards also pricked up their ears.

"After the Ulysses civilization was invaded by those people from the Chaos Star Road, many superpowers in the Ulysses civilization stood up in order to keep the civilization going. We actively resisted the invasion and ventured into the sea of ​​stars, hoping to find a backer for the Ulysses civilization. But this was simply impossible. No one was willing to stand up for Ulysses, who could not provide any benefits. As time went on, more and more superpowers died in the battle, but the situation did not improve at all. The remaining superpowers split. Some felt that the Ulysses civilization was completely hopeless, and rather than accompany this doomed civilization to die together, it would be better to pursue their own future. Another group was like me."

Vic was silent for a moment.

“I actually thought about leaving, but my father had done so much for Ulises, and I wanted to leave some spark for Ulises, so that at least someone would remember what he had done in the future.

"Anyway, after the Great Split, the morale of the Ulysses people has almost dissipated. No one calls me a hero anymore, and few people have hope for the future. If anyone treats you badly after the spaceship lands, I apologize in advance."

Bai Fu nodded to show that she understood.

After hearing what Vic said, the players also started discussing.

[Oh my god, this Ulysses planet is much worse than Zuyuan planet]

[Just take it in and you will know how desperate it is to live in such a place]

[Damn it, I'm angry, Chaos Star Road, right? I'll take action after the 2.0 Star Ocean version is launched! ]

[Wow, the human emperor is here! ]

The players' emotions were all aroused, and they couldn't wait to flash to the planet Ulysses.

A few minutes later, a player standing at the porthole on the other side suddenly screamed.

"what is that?"

Bai Fu looked in the direction of his finger and saw a nearly circular area on the ground that was completely crystallized. White and black crystals were mixed together, like burn scars, which made people feel nervous. Vic explained, "A few decades ago, Ulysses was attacked by a large pirate group. In order to intimidate us, the flagship of the pirate group fired plasma spears at the ground. Under the burning of the plasma spears, the area became like this."

Oh my god, isn't this burning glass? !
Bai Fu's pupils shrank.

This level of attack would be difficult for an A-class superpower, let alone an S-class superpower, to withstand head-on, and they could only dodge first.

Amid exclamations, the spacecraft finally stopped on the ground.

The hatch opened and Vic was the first to walk out. The environment of Ulysses was very different from that of Zuyuan Star. The gravity, air composition, and temperature were all different, but it was still easy for Bai Fu and the players to adapt.

The landing of the spacecraft had already attracted the attention of the nearby ruined city, but not many people came to greet it. Only a few people came. Standing in the front was a little girl who ran over happily after seeing Vic.

"Brother Vic, you're finally back!"

Vic greeted the little girl, while Bai Fu and the player looked around.

Ulysses' situation was worse than they had imagined. The place where they lived was in ruins. The black buildings that looked like metal cubes were missing pieces here and there. The clothes they wore looked very old, and only a few people could wear armor with a certain degree of protection.

Leeks are not like this!
Bai Fu was speechless.

"These are the interstellar hunters I hired this time, Silver Moon, and her followers." Vic introduced.

The Ulises people did not react much. Their brows had been furrowed since they appeared, and now they just relaxed a little. Then they nodded and said "Welcome".

In the final analysis, no one believes that Bai Fu can solve the problem. Even if Bai Fu solves the problem this time, what about next time?

Bai Fu is an interstellar hunter, and hiring an interstellar hunter costs a lot.

Even though he had realized that the situation would turn out like this and had given advance warning, Vic was still very embarrassed now.

"Sorry, let me take you into the city to ask for details."

"Let's go." After taking two steps, Bai Fu suddenly asked, "Vic, how old are you?"

Vic was puzzled: "25 years old."

"young people?"

"Very young for an Ulysse."

Bai Fu: “…”

No wonder the little girl called Vic brother, but she really couldn't tell. The wrinkles on Vic's face made her think that Vic was about the same age as old Nissen.

The 25-year-old A-level esper is indeed an NPC with a lucky gift.

On the way into the city, Vic introduced Ulysses' situation to Bai Fu.

Ulysses now only has the last three cities left, and the population has dropped from hundreds of millions at its peak to a few hundred thousand. These cities are not so much cities as they are similar to some settlements on Zuyuan Star. The only difference is that the technological level of Ulysses is higher than that of Zuyuan Star, and the architectural style is mainly based on metal aesthetics. Even when the civilization is about to die, those dilapidated buildings still give people a sense of the coldness of technology.

"Brother Vic is back!"

The little girl was shouting in front, and on the side of the road, many people poked their heads out of their houses. They just watched and didn't say anything.

Finally, Vic took Bai Fu and the others to the city manager's residence to find out the situation.

The manager was an elderly man with cloudy eyes. When Vic came in, he was calculating how much food was left in the city.

"The slave traders captured 725 people this time. They didn't capture more because their spaceship couldn't hold more. These 725 people are all young and strong. After they are captured, it will be more difficult for us to collect food in the future."

The manager was scratching his head in worry, and the other Ulysses around him also sighed.

Interstellar slave traders would visit Ulysses every now and then, commonly known as "purchasing goods". They would capture hundreds of people at least each time, and thousands of people at most. The population of Ulysses decreased dramatically, and the slave traders made great efforts.

The Ulises harbor boundless hatred, but hatred cannot be transformed into fighting power.

When the slave traders came again, they could no longer resist.

Resistance requires force and money. They are about to lose all their force. As for money, where will they get it?
Managers always regret it when this happens.

Perhaps when the Great Schism came, he should have made a firm decision to lead his entire people away from Ulysses. At that time, they still had some money to hire a starship to transport people.

It was a pity that at that time he was filled with the thought that once they abandoned Ulysses, they would become rootless duckweed and would be more easily bullied in the sea of ​​stars. Even if their bloodline was fortunately continued, the word Ulysses would only exist in memories from then on.

In fact, even if they stayed in Ulysses, they waited year after year, but the situation still did not improve at all. Now, there were only a few hundred thousand people left in Ulysses. Wasn't the word Ulysses about to disappear in the torrent of the universe?

The manager forced a smile and said, "Vic, why did you come back early? Never mind, it's good that you're back. With you here, the slave traders should be more restrained."

Vic said: "Uncle, I came back this time to rescue my compatriots who were captured by slave traders."

Hearing his words, the manager's face suddenly changed: "This is too dangerous, don't be impulsive."

He doesn't want to bother with it anymore.

Vic is Ulysses' last A-level superpower. If he dies, Ulysses will lose his last bit of confidence and will soon be dismembered by the slave traders.

Vic said, "I brought help back."

The manager looked at Bai Fu and Yulia for a few seconds, then shook his head: "Those slave traders are not ordinary people. It's better to be cautious."

The Ulyses standing behind him moved their mouths, but in the end said nothing.

Vic had anticipated this situation: "We have no way out. If we don't resist, we will surely perish. If we resist, we may die faster, but we may also find a glimmer of hope."

The manager didn't say anything and just sat there.

Vic stood there for a moment before he said firmly, "I will act according to my own ideas."

Throwing down these words, he walked out of the manager's house.

When he walked outside, he said to Bai Fu with a sullen face: "The manager was not like this before, but the older he gets, he, alas."

The Ulises were almost completely losing their fighting spirit; they lived like the walking dead. There were some exceptions among them, but most of them either died or were assimilated in the end.

Bai Fu looked around, her eyes sweeping over each of the Ulysses.

She suddenly thought of Zuyuan Star. After version 2.0 is launched, Zuyuan Star will also be connected to the starry sea. Will Zuyuan Star become the same as Ulysses by then?
With the players around, Zuyuan Star shouldn't be in such a miserable state, but it is possible that it will encounter some hardships. A little suffering from the starry sea might be like a major earthquake for an ordinary civilization like Zuyuan Star. In this earthquake, many people she knows or even those with whom she has a good relationship might die.

Bai Fu has feelings for Zuyuan Star, after all, it is her hometown in the game.

"We have to find a way to prevent this from happening. The best way is for me to grow enough to protect Zuyuan Star before version 2.0 is launched. S-level strength should be about the same."

S-level is the pinnacle of "mortals" and is the only way from "mortals" to natural disasters.

"When are you going to take action?" Bai Fu asked Vic.

Vic said, "Let's start now. Please temporarily hand over the command of your followers to me. I will arrange for them to attract the attention of the slave traders."

"What are you going to do?"

"I suspect that someone in our group has secretly joined the slave traders. The last time the slave traders attacked, they left early while I was still on the way, so when I came back this time, I only contacted the few people I trusted."

Bai Fu nodded: "As long as you have a plan."

She called Jianqi Chongtian, Heisi and Patrick over, explained the situation to them and warned them.

"This mission is very important. I know you usually like to compete, but now is not the time."

After some discussion, Vic took half of the players and left temporarily.

Bai Fu stood on the dilapidated street for a while, and suddenly found that the little girl who greeted Vic when she got off the spaceship was walking towards her.

"Sister, you are so beautiful."

Oh my, the kid is really good at talking!
Bai Fu took out some energy-replenishing candies and handed them to the little girl.

"Sister, I heard from Brother Vic that he originally couldn't afford to hire an A-level super-powered person. It was you who took the initiative to lower the price and even flew a spaceship to send Brother Vic back. Thank you." The little girl who took the candy quickly said thank you.

Bai Fu said: "You're welcome, it's just a normal transaction."

The little girl looked up and said, "Sister, does our Ulises really have no future?"

Bai Fu paused for a few seconds before saying, "You are the future of Ulysses, and Vic is also the future of Ulysses. One day in the future, he will become the hero who leads you out of suffering."

This sentence made the little girl's mood rise a lot: "Sister, you are such a good person."

Bai Fu neither confirmed nor denied it. She called Anya over and asked her to play with the little girl.

The ensuing battle is dangerous and Anya is not fit to participate.

But she didn't let Anya play with the little girl just for fun. She mainly wanted Anya to keep an eye on the place and see if there would be any traitor who would jump out to cause trouble after the fight started.

Anya's strength is already very close to that of a B-level superpower. There are few people in the entire Ulysses who can beat her. What's more, she has power armor and prayer cards, so it is easy for her to catch a traitor.

After everything was arranged, Bai Fu brought the remaining players back to the vicinity of the spaceship and kept an eye on the situation to prevent the slave traders from directly bombing the spaceship.

While she waited, she marked the planet Ulises on the map.

She had her eyes on this planet. It was too expensive to buy a habitable planet. If she could transform Ulises into her base in the sea of ​​stars to receive players coming from various novice planets...

Bai Fu thought this was a good idea, but she didn't know what the Ulysses people's attitude was.

In her opinion, the benefits to the Ulysses people should far outweigh the disadvantages. She does not represent any civilization. Her followers are players and NPCs "kidnapped" by her. Her stationing here can not only ensure the safety of Ulysses, but also will not cause any impact on the Ulysses civilization.

Anyway, let’s see when the time comes.

With her current strength, even if she drives away the slave traders, it won't solve the problem facing Ulysses. Only when her name can scare those evil organizations in the Chaos Star Road area of ​​the Sea Lion Galaxy, will she have the confidence to cause trouble on Ulysses. Otherwise, she will invest a large sum of money in the construction here, but she might be blown up in the middle of it.

Bai Fu waited for more than two hours.

When it was already getting dark, she received an urgent call from Vic.

"A detachment of slave traders attacked your followers. According to reports from your followers, they are interrogating those who were captured. Once the interrogation is over, they will immediately attack us. They don't know that your followers have special communication methods, so they don't know that their plans have actually been exposed. This is our chance!"

Vic was overcome with emotion.

The various special abilities displayed by the players made him feel more and more that Bai Fu was a superman.

Bai Fu nodded: "Let's start the action. Lead them to a place far away from the city where it is inconvenient for the spacecraft to land directly. I will be there soon."

Vic did as he was told.

After the call, Bai Fu glanced at Yulia who was cutting her toenails.

"Come and live."

Yulia put away the nail clippers and said, "Let's go."

It's time to stretch my muscles. I've been dehydrated by staying in the laboratory all the time.
