Who made her an NPC!.

Chapter 233: Great Harvest, From Chess Piece to Chess Player [5.5k]

So, this Frank actually came for the Pillar of True Spirit?

Bai Fu was slightly surprised.

She didn't understand how Frank knew the secret tower headquarters was here.

Has this guy been secretly colluding with the Secret Tower for a long time, or does he have very special tracking methods?

While Bai Fu was puzzled, the three Calamity-level members of the Alliance had already started chatting with Frank.

Frank's strength may not be much stronger than theirs, but Frank's status and position are not ordinary. The peak combat power of the Taim civilization he belongs to is not as good as the Star Covenant, but it has the support of the Supernova Corps and actively participates in major events in the fringe world. Its influence in the fringe world is much greater than that of the Star Covenant.

This special background meant that even if the three disaster-level members of the alliance did not want to curry favor with Frank, they had to at least go up and say hello at this time, so as not to anger Frank and bring bad influence to their forces.

Bai Fu did not go over to join in the fun.

It doesn't matter.

From the moment she chose to stand on Andras's side, she and Frank were no longer the same kind of people, and she didn't need to give Frank any face.

In terms of strength, she is not inferior to Frank. In terms of background, she can still raise the banner of Star Covenant at critical moments.

"Let's search the Secret Tower headquarters to see if there are any good things."

She looked around, asked Yulia, who had left her body, to check on Cecilia who was in a bad mood, and then she led the players to start searching.

The Secret Tower is such a big base, there must be a lot of good things inside.

First come, first served!

Players who received the looting missions were extremely excited.

Hey, isn’t this their specialty?

When they were heroes, they would go through the bottles and treasure chests of their fellow villagers. Now that they can search freely, they will be even less polite!
Nearly two million players quickly moved around in the secret tower base and soon brought a lot of good things to Bai Fu.

The first was a video call from the Dark Domain Zerg Queen.

The Dark Domain Zerg Queen is going crazy.

She once again sent a clone to the secret tower headquarters, wanting to take the opportunity to mark Bai Fu. This way, no matter where Bai Fu hid in the future, she could use her innate ability to find Bai Fu and take revenge on her.

Who would have thought that before she even met Bai Fu, her clone was beaten to pieces by those disaster-level warriors from Frank's United Alliance. She was so unlucky.

"Bai Fu, I'm not done with you! I will definitely come back!"

On the virtual screen, the Dark Domain Zerg Queen was furious.

Yes, yes, you belong to Big Bad Wolf, you will definitely come back!
Bai Fu cut off the video call directly. She didn’t want to watch a crazy bug going crazy.

Then the player brought her the mother samples of dissociative potions that the secret tower had recovered recently.

Bai Fu distributed all the dissociative potions to the players, and gave the mother copy directly to Cypris, which increased Cypris's strength and gave her a wave of quest rewards for helping Cypris recover her strength.

After that, the players found a lot of good things from the warehouses in the secret tower.

For example, medicine, blueprints, materials...

These things were found by players, so Bai Fu was of course too embarrassed to snatch them away directly. She didn't have enough experience points from faction missions to exchange them for them, so she could only offer a pretty good price to buy them.

Then I can ask Andras to help me deal with it, I can make some money.

"Everyone says I'm a succubus, but isn't that enough? I wish my charm was so high that I could just wave my hand and ask players to give me all their money and experience."

Bai Fu sighed regretfully.

Of course she knew that this was impossible. Even the master who had mastered the secret technique of [Tell him you like him and ask him to recharge 500 more.jpg] couldn't do it, let alone her, an NPC.

As they were searching, a player suddenly sent a message saying that they had found another Pillar of the True Spirit.

"again?"

Bai Fu's heart suddenly became hot.

Just look at Yulia to see how powerful the Pillar of True Spirit is. If she could also obtain a Pillar of True Spirit, her strength would probably be able to instantly advance to the upper level of natural disaster.

"I am coming over now!"

A minute later, at the door of a special laboratory, Bai Fu, Fei Ye, Anya, Elon, Sui Xi and others all looked up and looked at the "pillar" floating in the center of the room.

"The Pillar of the True Spirit, Mi Ta really has the Pillar of the True Spirit in his hand!" Elon's eyes lit up.

Bai Fu shook her head.

what.

Others don't know, but she doesn't know.

This is also a fake pillar. Compared with the fake Pillar of the True Spirit that was snatched by the Consecration Order, the shape of this one is not very similar to the real pillar, but it has some functions of the real pillar.

"Even though it's a fake, it should be able to sell for some money, right?"

Bai Fu seemed to be thinking about something.

She was just about to go forward and take down the fake pillar when a milky white light suddenly flashed from behind her.

Swah——

The light exploded.

In an instant, a terrifying force swept over.

"careful!"

Bai Fu instantly flashed to Anya's side and hugged Anya tightly in her arms.

A surge of psychic energy hit her back, and a series of damage values ​​floated above her head.
-
81, -97, -85...

This is scraping!

A few seconds later, Bai Fu and Anya flashed out of the center of the explosion. At this time, Fei Ye was standing beside her safely. The only ones who did not get out were Elon and Sui Xi.

The two of them...

Bai Fu looked up and found that there was no need to look for it specifically, because Elon was laughing loudly in the center of the explosion. His unbridled smile was comparable to that of the Uchiha Four Laughing Heroes.

"After all this effort, I finally got the Pillar of the True Spirit, hahahaha!!!"

Not only Elon, but even Sui Xi, who was always cold and seemed to be indifferent to everyone, miraculously showed a happy smile on his face after seeing the fake True Spirit Pillar in Elon's hand.

After waiting for so many years and enduring the death of a Pope of the Consecrated Order, they finally obtained the Pillar of the True Spirit.

Now, their wish can come true.

Oh, no, now is not the time to be proud. The savior saint Bai Fu is still watching this side.

Elon stopped laughing and cleared his throat. "Thank you for your help, Saint Lady. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have been able to obtain the Pillar of the True Spirit so smoothly."

Before Bai Fu could say anything, Anya, who was hugged by Bai Fu, was already angry.

"Wow, you guys are really pure-blooded!"

The girl pointed at the smug Elon. She didn't know that the Pillar of True Spirit was fake and thought Bai Fu was being tricked, so she was so angry that her hair stood up.

"I helped you so much, but this is how you repay me? Return the Pillar of the True Spirit to me now!"

As she shouted, countless mental tentacles shot out from Anya's body. At the same time, she was secretly brewing the needle of punishment, preparing to poke dozens of holes in Elon.

The magical thing is that the mental tentacles automatically disintegrated the moment they touched Elon, before he had time to exert any force.

"Ok?"

Anya was stunned for a moment, not understanding what was going on.

Bai Fu understood it at a glance.

Special barrier!

Just now, a special barrier with a shield value of 3 appeared on Elon's body. This barrier can even block mental attacks!
Elon shouted loudly: "Master Frank, if you don't take action, this Pillar of the True Spirit that we have obtained with great difficulty may be taken away by Bai Fu!"

"As long as I'm here, no one can take this pillar of true spirit away!"

A deep voice suddenly sounded, and the next second, Frank flashed directly to Elon's side. Elon handed the Pillar of the True Spirit to him respectfully, and he calmly put the Pillar of the True Spirit into a box.

The white light faded away.

Amid the sound of breaking air, a large group of people rushed over.

They looked at Bai Fu and Frank with embarrassment.

"What's going on?" Manu looked around.

An NPC who witnessed the entire situation explained in a low voice. After listening to it, all the onlookers at the scene felt a great deal of pressure.

This……

Whether it's Bai Fu or Frank, they can't afford to offend them.

Now they could only watch and hope that Bai Fu and Frank didn't actually fight.

The most anxious one is none other than Manu.

During the conquest of the secret tower, Bai Fu helped them a lot. Now that Bai Fu was in trouble, he should rush out to support Bai Fu, but the problem was that the opponent was a calamity-level civilization from the Taim civilization. A galaxy-level civilization like Starnet could definitely not withstand the revenge of the Taim civilization. A Taim mothership could make Starnet flee in panic.

Manu gritted his teeth and felt that the only thing he could do now was to contact the Star Covenant Initial Gate branch as soon as possible. It would be best if he could contact the Lord of the Oath.

Just as he was about to take action, Bai Fu suddenly spoke.

"I'm curious about how you found the Secret Tower headquarters."

Frank sneered, "Do you remember the Pillar of the True Spirit that you stole from the Secret Tower? That was a fake pillar I made. I placed a positioning device inside it and deliberately placed it at the base of the Secret Tower. I originally just wanted to test whether you were looking for the Pillar of the True Spirit for the Lord of the Oath. I didn't expect the Secret Tower to suddenly snatch the fake pillar and bring it here, which allowed me to accidentally know the location of the Secret Tower's headquarters. In any case, this time it's really thanks to you."

He was obviously being sarcastic.

But Bai Fu ignored the ridicule and instead felt happy in her heart.

So that's it! Bai Fu gradually understood everything.

Because of her previous actions, the Secret Tower and the Consecration Order mistakenly believed that the Pillar of the True Spirit was in the hands of the other party. They fought for it, and in the end they both mistook the fake pillar made by the other party for the real pillar. They never expected that the real Pillar of the True Spirit had actually been fused by Yulia.

interesting.

Since Frank thought he had made a profit, there was no need for Bai Fu to expose him.

Let him believe it, to prevent Yulia from being exposed and attracting a group of people to covet her.

I'll immediately get into the acting state when it's time to cooperate with you!
"Actually, I have no interest in the Pillar of the True Spirit, but you just said that as long as you are here, no one can take the Pillar of the True Spirit away. I want to see whether your words are stronger or my prayer card is stronger!"

A stack of prayer cards suddenly appeared in Bai Fu's hand.

Fei Ye, who was standing behind her, was also eager to try: "Is the Taimu civilization so great? I'm going to kill you here today. I want to see if the Taimu civilization dares to rush directly to Xingyue to cause trouble for me!"

Frank was not frightened.

"I don't have time to argue with you guys now. After I deal with the Pillar of the True Spirit, I don't care if you are Black Fu or White Fu. As long as you fall into my hands, there will be only one outcome -

die! "

As soon as he finished speaking, a whirlpool suddenly appeared around his body, and in the blink of an eye, the whirlpool swallowed him, Elon and Sui Xi.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

In the empty ruins of the laboratory, the only sound for a moment was Frank's laughter.

It’s so fucking exciting to pretend to be cool and then run away!

When the whirlpool completely disappeared, Fei Ye looked at Bai Fu with a worried look on her face. She was afraid that Bai Fu would be sad because the Pillar of True Spirit that she had obtained was taken away by Frank.

"Bai Fu, the Pillar of the True Spirit..."

"fine."

Bai Fu shook her head with a determined look in her eyes.

"I will not be defeated easily. Be it Frank or the Taimu civilization, I will take back what I lost with my own hands sooner or later!"

As she made these bold statements, she looked around. After all, she was saying these words intentionally for the people around her to hear.

You have to act your best and not slack off just because Frank, your main audience, is no longer around.

When Bai Fu's eyes swept over, Manu and others didn't dare to look at her.

Ashamed!
Bai Fu had helped them so much, but just now they could only watch as Frank snatched away Bai Fu's things. If what happened here were to get out, their reputation would probably...

Ugh.

Manu gritted his teeth.

He felt that this matter could not be brushed aside so lightly. Star Network needed Bai Fu's friendship very much, and he had to give Bai Fu additional compensation on top of the established remuneration.

This may not necessarily erase the grudge in Bai Fu's heart, but it is much better than doing nothing.

Thinking of this, Manu quickly sent people to capture the Pope of the Consecrated Order, and then personally contacted Clayville, the rotating chairman of the Star Network, and told him his ideas.

His idea was unanimously agreed upon by members of the StarNet Joint Conference.

When Manu took action, the other three civilizations in the alliance also took action.

They did not consult with each other, but made the same decision.

Compensation, Bai Fu must be compensated!
So, when the alliance was cleaning up the battlefield, Bai Fu suddenly received compensation plans from four civilizations.

"A total of 2000 million credits, 20 spaceships seized from the secret tower, an interest-free loan for the construction of the Ulysses base, and building materials at cost price?"

What the hell!

Bai Fu was shocked when she saw the list.

She acted mainly to make her position clear and to remove herself from the dispute over the Pillar of the True Spirit. She didn't expect to have such a pleasant surprise.

Let alone one fake column, under normal circumstances, ten fake columns cannot be sold for the price of those listed in the list!
Bai Fu smiled.

Frank, oh Frank, thank you!
"This gift is so precious, I..."

Manu shook his head and interrupted Bai Fu: "Saint, you deserve this. Without you, we would never be able to completely destroy the secret tower. So, you must accept these things!"

It’s hard to refuse such kindness.

Seeing that Manu had said this, Bai Fu could only "reluctantly" accept this kindness.

Great, after this wave she directly became a rich woman.

Now she has enough spaceships under her command to form a small fleet of 50 spaceships, which is very beneficial for her next actions.

Bai Fu closed the bank account, then opened the task panel and began to take stock of the gains from the operation to destroy the secret tower.

The mission [Secret Tower Exposed] is completed.

[Task Evaluation: Legendary (You are deeply involved in the plot and play the leading role in the drama of the collapse of the secret tower. You are the supernova of this starry sky!)]

As Bai Fu expected, after the task was completed, she earned 31.1 billion experience points in one go.

This was the most experience she had gained in a single time so far, and the number was not an exaggeration, after all, she contributed more than 40% in the operation to destroy the secret tower.

In addition to the experience, she received three awards.

The first item, title [Supernova], has the effect of increasing all basic attributes by 7%.

The second item is Psychic Construct Advanced Card*1, which can upgrade a Psychic Construct by one grade.

Bai Fu used this card on [Psychic Construct - Fu II] without hesitation, upgrading Fu II to Fu III.

In an instant, the combat uniform covering her body underwent drastic changes.

First of all, the "material". As a piece of clothing made of spiritual energy, Fu III is usually so soft and comfortable that it seems like having an extra layer of skin on the body. However, in wartime, facing enemy attacks, it can immediately become many times harder than gold and iron.

Then comes the appearance. The shape of Fu III is more complicated, but this complexity does not make people feel dazzled. The perfect color blocks and lines make the curves of Bai Fu more beautiful.

Finally, let's talk about the functions. Since it is a quality improvement, Fu III does not add any disruptive functions compared to Fu II, but the durability of Fu III is doubled, the strength and agility bonuses are doubled, the physical damage reduction is also reduced to -15%, and there is also an effect that can speed up the recovery of psychic energy. Although it is not as fast as Yulia's mana replenishment, it is better than nothing.

The third item is the rare prayer card blueprint [Eye of Sorrow].

This is a summoning blueprint that can summon the Eye of Sorrow. The effect of the Eye of Sorrow is different from any prayer card obtained before. It can only summon one at a time and has no direct killing ability, but it can impose the [Sorrow] debuff on all hostile targets it sees.

The target's recovery ability will be greatly reduced when hit by the [Sorrow] debuff, the upper limit of their stamina (psychic energy, etc.) will be reduced, and a sorrow bar will accumulate. When the sorrow bar is full, the target will perform various abnormal behaviors due to extreme sadness, which is very dangerous in battle.

"Good stuff! This is a bit similar to the Overlord's [Domain], but it's much weaker than the [Domain]."

With this, Bai Fu's combat effectiveness can be greatly improved, especially when fighting in a group.

shhhhh--

Bai Fu invested a lot of experience, first upgraded the prayer card to the maximum, and then started to upgrade herself. After 30 billion experience points, she successfully upgraded [Line Walker] from Lv1 to Lv27.

At this time, her basic inspiration has reached 2831 points, and when she bursts out with all her strength, her inspiration can soar to more than 3900 points.

"After these 26 levels, the basic inspiration has increased by almost 700 points. Although the experience consumed for each level increase is several times higher than before, the improved attributes are also several times higher than before. When the total level of the main profession reaches level 140, a new bonus will be obtained."

Bai Fu was very satisfied with the harvest from destroying the secret tower.

Judging from her current attributes alone, she would be hard to beat in the entire Origin Gate Galaxy Cluster. Her shortcoming is that her accumulation is too shallow. In short, she lacks sufficient disaster-level skills and prayer card blueprints.

It will take time to fill this gap.

"Experience, experience, I need more experience!"

Bai Fu's eyes glowed red.

Let the players suffer a little more!

"what."

Just as Bai Fu was dreaming of exploiting the players, Yulia, who was passing by her, stopped.

"Why do I feel like there's a sudden surge of pressure from you?"

Of course not, after all, it was a 26-level increase in one go.

Bai Fu straightened her chest.

After settling down for so long, she finally doesn't have to be as restrained as before and can boldly develop her own power.

"From a chess piece, I have become a chess player. At least in this part of the fringe world, I can be considered a chess player."

On the way to evacuate from the secret tower headquarters, Bai Fu received a call from Andras.

Andras first gave her his blessing for her promotion to Calamity, and then sent her an invitation, hoping that she could attend the next meeting of the Origin Consortium together.

Bai Fu understood.

It seems that Andras's life is getting harder and harder.

She asked about the time and found out that the next meeting would be in half a year.

Half a year later?
This will not affect her plan to go to other novice planets to reap the benefits of players.

"No problem, I promise."

Bai Fu agreed readily.

After finishing her conversation with Andras, the next thing she had to do was to follow Manu back to the Star Network.

The Star Network Joint Meeting expressed its desire to hold a grand celebration to celebrate the destruction of the Secret Tower, and hoped that she could attend the celebration.

Bai Fu would certainly not miss such a good opportunity to show her face and improve her reputation. She also wanted to take this opportunity to attract investment for the newly built Ulysses base.

PS: Thanks to ANR_安然 for the reward
