Who made her an NPC!.

Chapter 253: Opening the hidden main line, the advantage of plot foreknowledge [5.4k]

Upon hearing the news that Bai Fu was ambushed but fought ten of the attackers alone and made them flee in panic, Yuan Yi remained very calm.

This is Bai Fu, the one he has high hopes for. There is nothing surprising about her performance.

But after learning the specific process of the battle, he could no longer remain calm.

"That is……"

Yuan Yi stared at Ying Fu in the video screen, who was still calmly commanding the psychic army.

Others might not see anything special about Ying Fu, and at first glance they might think she was Bai Fu’s flat-chested sister, but as the person who gave Bai Fu “The Apostle’s Way”, how could he not see the problem?

“Granted a true name, this is definitely a psychic life that was born after being granted a true name!”

Wow!

Yuan Yi was so excited that he subconsciously swept the things on the table to the ground.

The sudden movement startled Ranie, who was talking to him on the communicator. Having been his teacher's student for many years, this was the first time he saw his teacher lose his composure like this.

"Teacher, what happened?" Ranie asked anxiously.

"A seeker, a seeker, and most likely not an ordinary seeker!"

Yuan Yi paced back and forth in the room, obviously abnormally excited.

He gave "The Apostle's Way" to Bai Fu. On the one hand, he wanted to make an investment to improve Bai Fu's favorability. On the other hand, he wanted to test whether Bai Fu was a seeker.

The so-called seekers, in simple terms, are those people who are the first to reach a transcendent state in the journey of super-power exploration.

They are pioneers in the journey of super-powered exploration, opening up new paths for intelligent life to pursue eternity, and are therefore called seekers.

Due to the long time since the beginning, many seekers have passed away in the passage of time, but not all seekers are dead. In order to survive and to continue pursuing the eternal path, many seekers have resorted to some outrageous tactics.

Some seekers transform themselves into mechanical life or digital life, hoping to become mechanical gods through mechanical ascension and achieve eternal life.

Some seekers have made changes to their own bodies. They have modified themselves at the genetic level, or incorporated the genes of other immortal species, or simply changed their own species in order to achieve an alternative form of "evolution."

This kind of "evolution" is cross-species and has no continuity. It is completely different from the "life sublimation and racial evolution" when strength is improved. It is extremely risky. Some people become monsters because of it, while others greatly increase their strength.

Some seekers start directly from the spiritual level. They separate their spirit from their flesh and blood, inject it into another extremely gifted body, and start practicing from scratch.

Since their spiritual will is as strong as ever, these seekers will advance very quickly during the re-cultivation process. They will reach the peak in a shorter time than usual, and then they can continue to pursue eternity.

Doing so is not without risk. They may suffer from amnesia and will inevitably become mentally handicapped. Once the handicap becomes too severe, it cannot be recovered. But no matter what, the risk of doing so is much smaller than genetic ascension.

Yuan Yi suspected from the beginning that Bai Fu was the third type of seeker, because Bai Fu's advancement speed was so fast, even faster than that martial arts fanatic and young man of the Lord of the Oath, but he had no evidence.

Now, [Ying Fu] is strong evidence that Bai Fu is a seeker!

"The Path of the Apostle" is advanced knowledge at the Domination level. It would take a normal Calamity level stratum 20 to 30 days, or even several months, to master this knowledge.

Bai Fu is in a different situation. In just over ten days, she not only mastered "The Apostle's Path", but also created a psychic life with the Granting of True Name. What else could she be but a seeker?
Of course, it is possible that Bai Fu had already mastered this knowledge before she got "The Apostle's Way" from him, but this also means that Bai Fu is likely a seeker.

Because it has only been two years since Bai Fu was promoted to a natural disaster. In those two years, she has to improve her strength, master the advanced knowledge of the Overlord level, and complete commissioned tasks everywhere. Even the master of time management does not understand management as well as Bai Fu!

"Should I go see her now?"

"No, no, that's too purposeful and might disgust her."

"Also, it is very likely that she is in a state of amnesia now, otherwise she would not have needed to collect advanced knowledge everywhere before."

"Be safe and don't rush over there. But I can do her a few favors while she's losing her memory. That way, when she regains her previous memories, my chances of success will be much higher when I go to her for help."

Yuan Yi's brain raced, and he quickly came up with various plans for Hui Fu.

He wanted to befriend the seeker, mainly because he wanted to understand the seeker's method of prolonging life.

He was too old, so old that he was afraid of death.

He has collected so much knowledge along the way. If he dies before digesting this knowledge, he will definitely die with regrets.

……

While Yuan Yi continued to think about Hui Fu's plan, Bai Fu, who knew nothing about this, was still chasing Frank and others.

However, compared to before, her attack was much weaker.

How can it not be weak?

Because Yulia was not hanging on her body, the large number of percentage consumption skills used in the short few minutes of extreme burst time had drained her spiritual energy.

Now she has neither the bonus of spiritual blessing nor the ability to activate the dark force field. She has all the attributes but cannot use many skills. She can only throw out some low-cost prayer cards.

Although it can still maintain a certain level of combat effectiveness, it is theoretically impossible to chase after several higher-level natural disasters.

The reason why she could really do it now was because Frank and the others had been frightened by her terrifying fighting power, which had severely damaged "Calvin" with a single blow, and then she had fought one against five, forcing the five upper-level natural disasters to barely protect themselves.

Who would dare to test whether Bai Fu's fighting power has weakened at this time? What if it hasn't weakened? Wouldn't this test be a test of oneself?

Bai Fu was happy to see this situation.

To be honest, at this point she had no intention of killing Frank and the others.

She also wanted to use Frank and the others as bait to dig out the real mastermind behind the scenes.

If she kills Frank and the others here at this time, and then reveals Frank's true identity, the people behind Frank and the others will know that she has seen through the truth and will definitely be cautious and alert. It will be difficult for her to find these people out then.

For this purpose, in the following pursuit, she deliberately gave the upper-level natural disasters she was chasing and beating a chance to flee, and then she deliberately did not chase Frank, but turned around to chase other people.

The chase lasted for more than ten minutes.

Bai Fu called on Cecilia and others to act together and successfully captured three upper-level natural disasters. As for the remaining two, including Frank, they took the dying "Calvin" and escaped to a spaceship parked in the distance using a teleportation prop in a thrilling way.

As soon as they entered the spacecraft, they immediately started the spacecraft's jump engine.

When the engine was about to start, Bai Fu rushed over and attacked the spaceship in a "furious" manner.

Fortunately, the moment the attack landed, the spacecraft entered jump mode.

Shake, shake, shake, shake
The spacecraft that entered the jump state shook violently several times, but finally stabilized.

According to the report from the spacecraft AI, the armor at the tail of the spacecraft has some damage, but it will not affect the performance of the spacecraft in the short term.

"I finally survived."

Frank held the wall with one hand, his heart feeling like it was about to jump out of his throat.

He looked at the empty spaceship, then at "Calvin" lying on the ground gasping for breath, and felt sad.

There were ten people when they came, full of energy and enthusiasm, but when they left, there were only two and a half people left.

What kind of monster is Bai Fu? How can she be so strong?
Ugh.

Forget it, this kind of thing is no longer something he should consider now.

Bai Fu's strength has obviously reached the top of the natural disasters. If you want to get rid of Bai Fu, you must either mobilize a dozen or twenty upper-level natural disasters, or mobilize the overlord.

No matter what the people above do next, it has nothing to do with him.

He just hoped that he could successfully kill Bai Fu in the next operation so that he wouldn't have to have nightmares.

He did not forget how he acted arrogantly in front of Bai Fu at the Secret Tower headquarters. If Bai Fu knew that he had attacked him again, she would probably tear him to pieces.

Go to sleep, go to sleep, get some sleep before the jump ends, and hope you don’t dream about Bai Fu.

Frank first threw "Calvin" into the medical cabin, then found a comfortable place to lie down.

……

"Very good, now it depends on where they will go."

Bai Fu looked at the red dot displayed on the game map and couldn't help but smile.

The attack she launched at the last moment was not to vent her anger, she deliberately put a good thing in it -

Upgraded version of Dark Moon Eye!

With the mobile monitor, Dark Moon Eye, she can know where Frank goes.

Bai Fu closed the map and began to take stock of the gains from this emergency mission.

After driving away Frank and others, the [Secret Meeting] mission was officially settled, and she earned a total of 2.05 million experience points. In addition to experience points, she also unlocked a new passive skill [Defeat the Many with the Few].

[Defeat the Many with the Few]: When the number of enemies (limited to the same rank) you face is greater than yours, you will unleash your potential and receive the blessing of the virtual realm, temporarily increasing all your attributes by 5%-15%. The increase will reach its maximum when the number of enemies (limited to the same rank) is ten times that of you, and lasts for 10 minutes.

"?"

After reading the skill description, Bai Fu's eyes widened.

Wow, she had known that this skill would not be simple, but she was still surprised after seeing the actual effect.

Under limited circumstances, the effect of this passive skill is almost the same as [Mind Blessing]. More importantly, this passive skill is automatically triggered without consuming spiritual energy, and its duration is a little more than three times that of Mind Blessing. If she had this passive skill just now, she would have activated Dark Burn and punched three times, and she would have turned the fake Calvin into a corpse on the spot.

“Good send!”

Bai Fu couldn't help but give a thumbs up to the fake Calvin and Frank.

If they hadn't suddenly come to cause trouble, she wouldn't have been able to obtain such an awesome skill.

"Next, I have to find a way to continue to improve my tankiness, so that I can better play the effect of this passive skill of fighting against the majority with the minority."

After completing the task, Bai Fu received a new task prompt.

[You have triggered the hidden main quest [The Return of the Exiles]]

[Mission Introduction: The former exiles have now returned to the civilized world. They hide in the shadows, and no one knows what their real purpose is. They possess unimaginable power. Unfortunately, you have been targeted by them.]

Mission objectives:
Branch 1. Dedicate the True Spirit Pillar to the Exile, Reward - Void Genome;
Branch 2. Find any place where the exiles stay in the edge world, and the reward is the key of evolution;

[Note: Completing any branch will advance the main storyline and trigger the next round of tasks]

"Is it actually the main quest?"

Bai Fu was surprised.

It seems that the origins of these attackers are much more serious than she imagined.

She would definitely not do branch 1. As for branch 2, she has now attached a Dark Moon Eye to Frank's spaceship. If everything goes well, she should have a good chance of finding the so-called exiles' whereabouts.

The key to evolution?

Although it is not clearly stated, it seems to be a prop that can enable the evolution of the species.

This is what Bai Fu desperately needs.

The Prophet belongs to a relatively basic race in the Void clan. Even so, the various talents she possesses are already very useful. If she can evolve into a more advanced Void life, her strength will surely increase dramatically again.

"I never thought that Frank would become my number one brother one day."

Bai Fu was filled with emotion.

Maybe this is what they call the impermanence of life, the big intestine contains the small intestine.

She closed the task panel and went back to find Anya and the others.

Having just killed so many Calamity-grade creatures, it's time for Anya to use the Needle of Punishment to explore the spirits of these Calamity-grade creatures and see if she can dig out any useful information.

A few minutes later.

Anya pointed at Yingfu in surprise: "Boss, where did you find this?"

Her vigilance was fully raised.

After Cecia, is there a new vixen?

Yingfu bowed respectfully to Anya and said, "Hello, Miss Anya. I am your psychic attendant."

Sister? Psychic attendant?
Not only Anya, but everyone else around was confused.

It was not until Bai Fu explained it that they suddenly realized that this was the psychic life created by Bai Fu. No wonder it looked so much like Bai Fu.

Bai Fu urged, "Let's get down to business first. These people have unusual identities. Let's see if we can dig out something."

Anya did so immediately.

With her previous experience, it is now much easier for her to read the mental fragments.

After looking through all the bodies, Bai Fu shook her head helplessly.

This Exile Organization is really cautious. From the memories that were dug up, among the ten people in this operation, only the leading Fire Rat (the fake Calvin) knew the real location of the base. The others were usually scattered around the marginal world and would only gather when there was a mission.

Bai Fu couldn't help but feel fortunate that she had kept a trick up her sleeve and deliberately did not kill the fire rat and Frank.

However, although she did not find the Exile Organization's base, she still collected some useful information.

For example, the real name of the Exiles Organization is the Ten Saints Society.

For example, the Ten Saints Society has attacked many people recently. They are trying to muddy the waters of the marginal world, and they also seem to want to get something from those who have been attacked. As for what it is specifically, those who are doing the work don't know.

"A villain force with extraordinary powers is not something I can deal with. After finding their base, report it to the three major cosmic civilizations and let them handle it."

Although the rewards for the main quest are good, you have to get them.

Rather than being stubborn and stubborn, Bai Fu would rather exchange this information for something she can use at this stage.

such as--

Advanced knowledge of dominance-level psychic powers!
I just don't know if the information from the Ten Saints Society is enough to exchange for this.

"Let's go back to Lockheed."

That night.

Bai Fu received contacts from a lot of people, including Nelis, Andras, Manu and so on.

Most of them came to ask if she was injured, only Xingyue's side was a little special.

The person who contacted him from the Star Covenant was not Yin Zhu, but the Lord of the Oath. The Lord of the Oath did not ask her if she was injured, but gave her a big gift to express his gratitude for her sending the players.

"Virtual Heart!"

I go!

When Bai Fu saw what the Lord of the Oath sent through the Internet, her breathing paused for a moment.

Having used this thing in the battle against the Secret Tower, she knew how powerful it was.

Now she has more than five million players under her command, but only more than two hundred spaceships, which is far from enough. It is too expensive to buy spaceships by herself, so she can only snatch the enemy's spaceships when fighting with the enemy. With the virtual heart, her efficiency in robbery will be much higher.

By the way, at that time she can also ask Xia Shi to make more youth version virtual hearts and give them to players. In this way, the Garden of Silence can be transformed into the Garden of Robbery.

Although the performance of the looted items varies and most of them are not very good, there is no need to think so much about things for players. As long as they can be used, it's fine. Players can be resurrected after death anyway.

Bai Fu excitedly thanked the Lord of Oath for the gift.

For the next two or three days, she had some free time, but others became very busy.

Regarding her attack, Nelis and the Führer jumped out to mock Lister, saying that as a general, Lister could only use underhanded tricks. It would be fine if he just used underhanded tricks, but he failed every time. He was a complete expert in failure.

As soon as the two of them started cursing, others followed suit and added fuel to the fire, because Liszt, whose reputation was already bad due to his recent defeat, had become even worse this time. He had completely become a stepping stone to highlight how successful and dazzling Bai Fu was.

"Fuck it, that wasn't me!"

Liszt was so angry that his head was smoking. He tried to explain, but given the current situation, no one would listen to him.

You are just quibbling!

Bai Fu did not participate in the verbal fight. She came here to complete the mission and reap the benefits. She didn't care about anything else.

While the verbal fight was still going on, something happened on Frank's side.

The spaceship stopped at a planet called Povaria in the territory of the Taim civilization. After the spaceship stopped, a team of people came to pick up the seriously injured Fire Rat. Then, Frank received the appointment from the Saint of the Ten Holy Council. During the time when Fire Rat was away, he would act as the commander of the operation.

"A [Secret Meeting] is about to be held. This time, you will come instead of Fire Rat."

Frank's heart beat faster because he successfully got the opportunity for promotion and salary increase.

Bai Fu's heartbeat also quickened, because she really had a chance to find the true location of the Ten Saints' retreat.

"I hope the Dark Moon Eye won't be discovered!"

Bai Fu prayed silently.

While waiting for the result, she suddenly received a new commission from Nelis and the Führer.

"We have received news that Lister has probably colluded with the Glorious Forces. They are planning to attack the Führer and carry out a decapitation operation!"

Oh?
Bai Fu's eyes narrowed slightly.

The Glorious Forces is the hidden chess piece in the Führer's hand. What does the Führer want to do by suddenly activating this chess piece?
There must be something fishy about this matter!

Bai Fu nodded calmly.

Now that things have come to this, in order to prevent any accidents, it is better to use all the experience accumulated previously to upgrade.

Skills and the like can be worked on later, the most urgent task is to improve your basic attributes as much as possible.

If she invests all that experience into the Line Walker profession, it should be enough for her to raise the total level of her main profession to level 150 and trigger the awakening quest of the Overlord.
