Who made her an NPC!.

Chapter 228 The Sixth Strengthening, Promo Video Protagonist Bai Fu [4.7k]

The moment the 1.5 version downtime update arrived, all the players in the starry sea disappeared like ghosts.

This unusual scene confused all the NPCs who were seeing it for the first time.

The time they have spent with the players is actually quite a bit. Before the downtime for updates, it was not uncommon for players to suddenly disappear because they logged off or went to play dungeons or arenas.

But the situation now is completely different.

In an instant, all the undead in sight disappeared.

Surprising.

There is also a hint of horror in the weirdness.

"no?"

The chief steward, the master of the secret tower, Lancet and all the other high-ranking officials of the secret tower were dumbfounded.

They stood there blankly, at a loss as to what to do. Just when they were about to send out the undead to backstab Bai Fu, all the undead disappeared. What the hell was going on?

The panic became contagious.

The panic gradually turned into anxiety and fear.

Is this a bad sign?

Or were they tricked by Bai Fu?

The butler, who didn't understand the situation, could only let the bait that had just been released slow down for a while and wait and see the situation before taking any action.

Aside from the Secret Tower, the reactions from other factions that poached players weren't much better.

They hurriedly sought information from various sources, and only felt relieved when they learned that the players under Bai Fu had also suddenly disappeared and that the Dark Moon Tide Company had even given them a holiday.

Doesn’t it look like the situation is too bad?
……

“A lot of people should be scared, right?”

Bai Fu guessed with evil humor.

Her smile quickly faded as she heard the reinforcement cue she was expecting.

[Confirming the story participation level (0%...10%...)]

【…】

[The current plot exploration rate of the Initial Gate Galaxy Cluster is 4.3%]

[Correcting the role positioning (0%...2%...)]

[Role positioning has been corrected from [Legend of Zuyuan Star Protagonist] to [Legend of Zuyuan Star Protagonist] + [Legend of Indigo Star Demon] + [Jin Gu Star Savior] + [Guide for Players of the Initial Gate Galaxy Cluster]]

[Character settings being corrected (0%...2%...)]

Last time, her story exploration level in the Initial Gate was only 0.2%, but this time it increased to 4.3%, nearly 20 times. I think this enhancement should not be too bad.

Bai Fu clicked on the pop-up notifications with great anticipation.

[Correction 1: Your race has undergone a special evolution, the skill [Mind's Eye] has been corrected to [Void Perception]]

This correction is similar to the last one, which was from ESP to Mind's Eye.

It has to be said that the effect of [Void Perception] is much stronger than perception skills such as the mind's eye. After turning on [Void Perception], she will be connected to the void world and "see" the situation around her from a higher angle.

At this angle, her detection radius is as high as more than ten kilometers, and the detection skills of those spiritual school professions may not be as useful as this.

"The Prophet is a Void Lifeform that was transformed from a humanoid carbon-based lifeform infected with Void Blood. Therefore, it lacks many characteristics that a native Void Lifeform should have, such as [Void Perception]. Does this wave of enhancement make me closer to a native Void Lifeform?"

Bai Fu clicked on the second prompt thoughtfully.

[Correction 2: Exclusive talent [Evolved Body (Bai Fu)] is changed to exclusive talent [Void Physique (Bai Fu)]]

Compared with [Evolved Body (Bai Fu)], the new exclusive talent increases the bonus to physical strength and spiritual energy from 10% to 15%.

But this is not the biggest change. The biggest change is that this new talent has a new feature called [Void Recovery]. The effect of this feature is that Bai Fu can enter the void to nourish her body after leaving the battle. During the nourishing process, her body will automatically absorb void energy to help her restore her health, allowing her recovery speed to reach nearly 0.2% of her maximum health per second.

This speed means that no matter how seriously injured she is, it will only take about eight or nine minutes for her to fully recover!
This speed cannot be said to be awesome, it can only be said to be extremely awesome.

Damn, this one is 6!

It's even more powerful when used with the Prophet's Mark.

After realizing that she could not defeat the enemy, she could simply run away through the prophet's mark, wait until she entered the out-of-combat state, and then escape to the void to wait for her body to fully recover.

"Holy crap!"

Bai Fu's eyes were shining.

Void Life is really shameless.

However, this move is not invincible, especially as the opponents she faces become stronger and stronger.

If the opponent also has long-distance displacement skills, or skills that block displacement, or curse skills, the effectiveness of this move will be greatly reduced, but no matter what, this combination of punches can greatly increase her resistance to killing.

"It's a pity that it's a passive talent skill. If it were an active skill, it would be even more powerful. I'll just transform into Little Cecia!"

Bai Fu happily checked the prompts at the back.

[Correction 3: You have obtained the Jingu Star Legend Certification [The Savior from the Sky (Jingu Star) - Bai Fu]]

This certification has two functions like the two previous certifications, namely increasing her own resistance and providing an additional 2% agility attribute bonus to players who join the Silent Garden camp.

[Correction 4: Character strength positioning changed from [Regional Boss (Sea Lion Galaxy)] to [Special Boss (Edge World)]]

This change in positioning was completely beyond Bai Fu's expectations.

Before the modification, her position was limited to the regional BOSS of the Sea Lion Galaxy. Although her strength had improved a lot during this period and her reputation in the sea of ​​stars had skyrocketed, in her opinion, after this revision, her position was at most expanded to the regional BOSS of the Initial Gate Galaxy Cluster. However, the actual situation was that the regional restriction was suddenly raised to the fringe world.

"This gap is a bit too big, isn't it? Is it because I can be promoted to the Calamity Level at any time? Or is it..."

correct.

Bai Fu thought of a possibility.

She speculated that the real situation was most likely that the Star Sea version was about to be released and players were about to enter the Star Sea on a large scale.

Some players will enter the starry sea from the Initial Gate Galaxy Cluster, while others will enter the starry sea from other galaxy clusters.

An uneasy NPC like her would definitely run around among the various galaxy clusters, and her activity area would not be limited to the Initial Gate. For example, in order to help Andras, she would most likely go to the Taim civilization, which is located in the central area of ​​the Edge World star zone.

It is very likely that the authorities took this into consideration and simply changed her restricted area to Edge World.

This is good news, because players can see this positioning, and the official has invisibly elevated her image in the minds of players.

Turning the page further, Bai Fu saw that the positions of other members of the Silent Garden camp had been corrected.

For example, Vic's, Plateau's, Old Nissen's...

Oh, and the positioning of the Silent Garden and Darkmoon Tide has been corrected.

[Fix 9: [The Silent Courtyard] will be fixed as one of the main player factions in version 1.5 [Age of Stars]]

[Correction 10: The [Dark Moon Tide Private Armed Company], a subsidiary of [Silent Court], will be revised to a well-known force in the Sea Lion Galaxy in version 1.5 [Age of Stars]]

[Correction 11: [Construction of the Ulysses Star Main City] will be revised to one of the main quests in the Sea Lion Galaxy in version 1.5]

Bai Fu nodded in satisfaction.

With these corrections, everything she did in the Sea Lion Galaxy and on the planet Ulysses was justified.

"This wave of enhancements is as powerful as ever."

Bai Fu stretched.

After closing the prompt, she first opened the faction interface. Her reputation had increased a lot in recent times, and she could set up new faction copies. She edited two new copies at random and disguised them as if they were opened along with the version update.

Then, she opened the prayer card synthesis interface. She didn't have much experience now, and she had to save some experience for awakening, so she didn't synthesize rare cards that required a lot of experience, but instead synthesized some common cards that could put debuff effects on the opponent.

She planned to put these cards together with the blessing cards she had just obtained from the Consecration Cult into the dungeon shop, specifically to exploit the players.

"The prayer card production factory must continue to expand, otherwise it will not be able to meet the needs of the large number of players who will enter the star sea in the future."

After a brief thought, Bai Fu had already figured out what to do while waiting for version 1.5 to be released.

1. Expand the prayer card production factory. 2. Expand Xia Shi’s machinery production factory.

3. Entrust Andras to help find people with rare superpowers, and try to include them in the superpower evolution tree map.

4. Go out in person and find some NPCs with [Luck] or [Good Luck] talents that are suitable for investment, bring them into the Garden of Silence, and enhance the strength of the Garden of Silence.

Before the fourth point, Bai Fu had always been assigned to Gao Yuan and Old Nissen. Their efficiency was definitely not as good as her, a special NPC with reconnaissance skills.

Actually, Bai Fu was not in a hurry about this matter at the beginning, and she just wanted to take it slowly. But when she thought that version 1.5 would not last long, she thought it would be better to absorb more NPCs to work as soon as possible. She, Feiye, Anya and others couldn't do everything, right?

With such high intensity work, even the strongest person would be exhausted to the point of becoming soft noodles. If Cecilia or Yulia came knocking on the door while they were already soft noodles, they would be doomed.

Bai Fu is a man of action.

After making the decision, she took immediate action.

Expansion is easy. Just ask Green Mud to help purchase supplies. Andras will also be a piece of cake. The real trouble is the investment.

At this time, Fei Ye stood up and expressed his willingness to help.

Feiye has been designated as the new director of the branch, but since the current director Le Mans has not left yet, he is currently quite free.

It was different for the others. Yulia and Cecilia were doing research, Xia Shi was studying the advanced mechanical knowledge taught to her by Bai Fu, and Anya and Vic were learning how to use mental power from Cypris.

You don't say it, you really don't say it, Cypris looks stupid, but because of her bloodline, her use of mental power is amazing. It is perfect for her to teach Anya and Vic. Even if she can't explain it clearly, a demonstration will benefit Anya and Vic a lot.

Cypris was a little reluctant at first, but after Bai Fu tempted her with snacks and TV dramas, she immediately agreed.

……

"It seems like we haven't been alone like this for a long time."

In the spaceship, Fei Ye looked at Bai Fu with a smile.

Bai Fu nodded.

The last time he was truly alone was when Fei Ye lost control of his void and gave up on himself, and then she bit him and sucked his blood.

After that, although she and Feiye had some time alone in a certain sense, they either didn't talk or were talking about serious matters.

"Fei Ye, have you ever thought that there was a hidden story behind the void disaster that you and your sister experienced in the past?"

Bai Fu's expression turned serious.

She felt it necessary to give Fei Ye a heads-up in this regard, so that Fei Ye would not be provoked again when the task was triggered. After all, this matter involved Fei Ye's sister.

Fei Ye stroked the hair beside her ears with her fingers and gently pinched the crimson earrings. The whole action was unexpectedly ladylike, very different from her previous carefree style.

"Yes, but I don't want to talk about it now."

"Hmm? So what do you want to talk about?"

"you."

"I?"

"The bite you made on me..."

Fei Ye stood up, and at this time, her eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of faint watery light.

It's not the light of tears, but the gentleness that ripples after the scorching fire softens.

“I will remember that bite for the rest of my life.”

Fei Ye walked up to Bai Fu.

"If it weren't for you, I would probably stay where I am forever. One year, five years, ten years... nothing would change. I couldn't get over the day my sister passed away, I couldn't get out of the cage woven by the Void Blood, I couldn't get out of the shackles I set for myself... Until the warmth from your teeth touched my shoulder, until your teeth bit through my skin, everything was different, then, just like it is now..."

Fei Ye leaned down, opened her mouth, and gently bit Bai Fu's shoulder.

She didn't use any force, but just quietly felt the warmth from her teeth and the fragrance that instantly filled her nostrils.

She was genuinely happy.

Although she is not like Anya who supports Bai Fu, nor like Yulia who is inseparable from Bai Fu, nor like Xia Shi who has a common beginning with Bai Fu, she also has something unique to her——

She and Bai Fu are both prophets!

Fei Ye sent an application to Bai Fu.

"Bite me."

"Ah."

……

Bai Fu and Fei Ye spent ten days traveling around the Sea Lion Galaxy and its vicinity twice. During this trip, they found two NPCs from outside who were only B-level now, but seemed to have great potential.

I think these two are likely to be the protagonists of the story that players will encounter when they first arrive in Star Sea. They are similar to Vic, but their strength is slightly weaker than Vic.

Bai Fu brought them back to the Star Covenant branch and asked them to follow the two protagonists of Indigo Star, Therese and Ichi, to familiarize themselves with the situation.

Bai Fu was quite satisfied with the gains of this trip.

Fei Ye, who was traveling with them, was also very satisfied. She regarded this as an alternative honeymoon.

During the journey, Bai Fu discovered that the official had finally released the final promotional video of version 1.5 of "Age of Stars".

The content of this promotional video was somewhat beyond her expectations.

The first half of the promotional video mainly introduced the protagonists of each novice planet. When she first saw this, she thought she would not have a role to play this time, but after entering the second half, the style of the promotional video changed completely.

She, Bai Fu, is here!

Not only did she appear on the stage, she also stood in the center of the entire stage. Other NPCs that appeared later became her foils in this promotional video, even powerful ones like the Lord of the Oath and the head of the Taim civilization were no exception.

She did it.

At the beginning of the era of stars, even the official admitted that she was the most prominent one!
After thinking about it carefully, Bai Fu found that this seemed quite reasonable.

There was no other way, because she had almost completed one of the two most important main plots of the Initial Gate Galaxy Cluster, and the remaining main plot, [Dark Domain Zerg Rebellion], was also under her control because Cypris was in her hands.

So if she isn't the protagonist, who can be the protagonist?
But this good time won't last long.

Once the storyline of the Taim civilization begins, or a new storyline starts somewhere else, she, who is on the edge, will have to say goodbye to the center of the stage.

This situation is certainly not what Bai Fu wants.

So, next I have to work hard to stand in the center of the stage!
Bai Fu closed the promotional video and went to check the community again. As expected, Digging Ji quickly released a promotional video analysis video.

In fact, she doesn't even need to analyze it specifically this time, as everyone can see that the new version of Bai Fu will be very important, but it is hard to say how important she will be.

Is he going to be a trader as Digging Ji said, or is he going to be the logistics manager after the players enter the Star Sea as everyone imagines...

[See how the official settings are set]

[In short, Fu Fu is awesome! ]

Time passes slowly.

Once the downtime for updates was over, version 1.5 was launched on time.

In an instant, countless players appeared in the places where they had previously logged off.

Seeing the players who suddenly appeared, Bai Fu was calm as usual, but the situation was different in the secret tower, which had been worried and frightened for more than ten days.

"?"

Even the usually calm butler was frightened.

It wasn't until we heard from the players that there was a mechanism where players would disappear collectively for a while every once in a while that we calmed down.

So, this is not Bai Fu’s trick?
That's good, that's good!
"Let's continue with the plan."

……

a few days later.

Bai Fu received secret information from Star Network.

"Bai Fu, an important member of the Secret Tower has betrayed the Secret Tower. The Secret Tower is now sending people to hunt him down. We may need your help."
