Who made her an NPC!.

Chapter 256: Follow the leader's path and leave him with nowhere to go [5k]

Julian usually doesn't do anything.

But once he gets down to work, he's still as decisive and efficient as he was in the past.

After realizing that the information provided by Bai Fu might allow him to achieve a leap forward, he immediately took out his most professional attitude.

Enthusiastic attitude, precise wording, professional knowledge, and an uncompromising stance in safeguarding the interests of the empire.

"If the information you provided is true, then you will gain the friendship of the Empire. The Empire will never treat its friends unfairly, but..."

As we all know, the words after "but" are important.

When it comes to rewards, Julian spoke a lot of clichés.

Unfortunately, this time he met Bai Fu, who was not very good at negotiation but had the help of the game panel.

To Bai Fu, what Julian said was not important. What was important was what the task rewards mentioned in the task that was subsequently triggered were, and how much reputation and contribution she could gain from the Empire camp through this cooperation.

These are the most reliable ones!
Julian felt his scalp tingling when faced with Bai Fu who didn't buy into his ideas at all.

This is a master I have met!

"I will report your request to [Glory]."

Glory is the central core artificial intelligence of the Reborn Empire, responsible for assisting almost all imperial officials, from the emperor to local governors, in handling government affairs.

Julian was a little depressed.

Never mind. Even if he failed to demonstrate his negotiation skills in this conversation, as long as the information provided by Bai Fu was true, he would still be credited with great merit as the host.

After all, that is the Ten Saints Society. Others may not know the origins of the saints of the Ten Saints Society, but how could he, who has worked in the intelligence department for more than ten years, not know?
Before being wanted by the three cosmic civilizations, the Saint was a close partner of the Empire, but later he suddenly betrayed the Empire for unknown reasons. He attacked [Glory], causing the Empire to suffer heavy losses. If there is a chance to catch him, all those who provide intelligence and help will be rewarded handsomely.

"I'll let you know as soon as I have any news."

Bai Fu didn't wait too long.

The efficiency of the Reborn Empire was very high. After only one day, Julian's immediate superior, the Director of the Security Bureau, came to talk to her in person with the resolution of the Senate.

The Empire seemed to really care about the Ten Saints Society, and they were not worried that Bai Fu was out to trick them, because they had already asked Star Covenant and received guarantees from them.

Therefore, the director of the Security Bureau did not say any more polite words, but directly discussed the content of the transaction with Bai Fu.

Bai Fu naturally liked this simple and straightforward attitude very much.

"'The Essence of Psychic Resonance' and 'The Application of Psychic Projection'. The former can greatly improve the efficiency of psychic resonance and the efficiency of psychic energy extraction and application. The latter is the basic knowledge of the application of psychic hyperspace. For you who are good at legionary combat, it should be a great help. What do you think of these two Domination-level advanced knowledge?"

Bai Fu nodded without any objection.

The director of the Security Bureau smiled and said, "There is also this enhanced genome of the [King of the Earth]. The [Holy Light Clan] psychic talent implant genome that you applied for was rejected at the Senate meeting. The Holy Light Clan and the Void Research Institute both disagree to give it to you. After all, you are not a member of our Reborn Empire or a high-quality partner. If you have no objection to this ruling, then let's sign a cooperation agreement."

Ouch.

Bai Fu spread her hands helplessly.

She knew this would be the result, but she still wanted to try.

The psychic affinity of the Holy Light Clan is at the highest level among the known cosmic races. If she could get the psychic talent of the Holy Light Clan implanted into her genome, she would definitely be able to obtain a large amount of inspiration attribute corrections during gene optimization, as well as several psychic talents or passive skills.

But if you can’t get it, then don’t get it. The enhanced genome of the King of the Earth is not bad either.

The Earth King is a space beast that is so tanky that it makes people want to vomit. By integrating its enhanced genome, one can greatly increase one's tankiness.

[Maybe by then my physique will be higher than Cecia's. In this way, even if I don't rely on skills, but purely on physique, I can easily beat Cecia. ]

"I have no objection."

Bai Fu signed the confidentiality agreement sent by the Director of the Security Bureau. Then, she sent the location of the Ten Saints Association to the Director of the Security Bureau as requested.

Everything was arranged properly, and what she needed to do next was simple——

Eat melon!

Bai Fu fought on the front line of eating melons.

She really wanted to see how the Ten Saints would deal with the Führer, and how the Reborn Empire would deal with the Ten Saints.

For this reason, she directly turned down several new commissions with the excuse that "I was attacked, and then the commission failed, and I needed to calm down."

……

Let’s go back one day.

While Bai Fu and Julian were talking, the Führer suddenly received bad news.

While cleaning up the factory destroyed by war, subordinate forces of the Povaria Planetary Defense Council discovered several mechanical equipment buried underground with special markings. Those mechanical equipment had been damaged so badly that it was difficult to restore their original appearance, but the markings were still relatively intact.

"If I'm not mistaken, this seems to be the symbol of the Ten Saints Society?"

The members of the council looked at each other.

The Ten Saints were a very famous group among the interstellar wanted criminals, so they quickly became convinced that they were not mistaken.

The next second—

"Fuck, that's awesome!"

The members of the council exclaimed one by one.

It turns out that the Führer traveled hundreds of millions of miles to Povaria in order to strike down the Ten Saints!
Who said the leader is incompetent? Look, look, with just this one move, didn’t he dig out the hiding place of the Ten Saints Society and even wiped out all the people in this stronghold?
You know, this is something that none of the three major cosmic civilizations have ever done.

With just one move, he accomplished what the three major cosmic civilizations could not do. How great, Head of State!

He dared to kill all the members of the Ten Saints Society with one move, and completely broke off relations with the Ten Saints Society. How tough, the leader is tough!

After being amazed, the members of the council felt a sense of fear.

Oh my god, a vicious organization like the Ten Saints Society is actually hiding in Povaria. Fortunately, the Führer acted decisively to kill these thugs, otherwise they would be dead if these thugs launched an attack.

Thinking of this, every member of the council burst into tears of gratitude towards the head of state.

At this moment, one of them suddenly said, "Do you think it is possible that the one who has the last laugh in this civil war is the Führer? You see, the Führer is not as incompetent as the outside world says. Moreover, once what happened here spreads, the public's impression of the Führer will definitely change greatly."

The person next to him shook his head: "Who can tell for sure about this kind of thing? Even though Lister is being beaten back step by step now, who knows when he will suddenly turn the tables and eliminate Nelis."

"That's true, but no matter whether the Führer has the last laugh or not, it won't hurt for us to help him publicize what happened here. If the Führer has the last laugh, then we are the meritorious officials. If the Führer loses, then what's wrong with us promoting the fight against the Ten Saints?"

"Will it anger the Ten Saints?"

"You don't think you're not irritated now, do you?"

It really is.

After everyone discussed it together, they sorted out various materials and asked AI to write an article praising the head of state and sent it out directly.

The Ten Saints Council + Head of State, when these two keywords were put together, they immediately detonated the entire marginal world's public opinion circle.

"What, the Ten Saints Council?"

"Is he crazy? How dare he provoke the Ten Saints Society at this time?"

"Prime Minister, so this is your real plan?"

Soon after, the Führer also received the news from an official of the Taim civilization who came to praise his bravery.

In the head of state’s official residence, the head of state felt numb listening to the words of praise.

For a moment, his mind went blank. He forgot who he was, where he was, and what he was supposed to do.

When he suddenly emerged from that blank space like a drowning man, the first thought that popped into his mind was -

Spicy balls!

His plan to get rid of Bai Fu to increase his reputation failed, which was a big blow to him, but he could get over it if he endured it. After all, Bai Fu didn't know that it was a trap set by him, so he could continue to set up traps.

But now this matter...

This was no ordinary blow, it was a blow that almost killed him!

The leader was very confident, but no matter how confident he was, he did not dare to challenge the Ten Saints Council.

There are two supreme masters among the Ten Saints. Although these two are just ordinary supreme masters, they are definitely not people that a master like him can afford to provoke.

"After something like this happens, those lunatics will definitely not let me go. How can I fight for the throne of Taimu Civilization when they are watching me?"

The Fuhrer is going crazy.

孽 孽!
If he could do it again, he would definitely not bother Bai Fu again in the short term. It was a pity that it was useless to regret now.

Facing the officials who came to congratulate him, the head of state could only force a smile.

There is no way to explain. If he says that this was just an accident and that he had no intention of dealing with the Ten Saints Society, then his newly-risen reputation will immediately fall back, and the effectiveness of his attack on the Glorious Corps next time will be greatly reduced because of the impact of this incident.

Hurry! Hurry!
The Führer’s mentality is about to explode.

After finally sending everyone away, he immediately found the commander-in-chief of the Glorious Army.

"You know what I mean."

The commander-in-chief of the Glorious Army was sweating profusely: "I have already cleaned up the internal affairs. If there is a next time, you don't need to ask me, I will bring my head to you!"

To be honest, the Führer really wanted to kill this unreliable guy, the commander-in-chief of the Glorious Army.

However, this cannot be done. If this is done, the morale of the glorious troops will be dispersed.

"Are we going to ask for help from the Reborn Empire?"

The Fuhrer did not want to go.

The Reborn Empire was willing to support him in the first place because it saw that his plan was very bold and would bring huge returns if it succeeded.

If he suddenly ran to the Reborn Empire for help at this time, his image in the eyes of the Reborn Empire would plummet.

You provoked the Ten Saints Society yourself, and now you want us to send people to protect you?

"Be patient and wait until the situation gets really bad."

The leader waited and waited for the revenge of the Ten Saints.

The saint was the one who dared to attack [Glory]. With his hot temper, after seeing the head of state frequently appear in the news and being praised by countless people, he could not help but want to send the head of state to heaven.

"Since our existence has been exposed, let's use the death of the Führer to tell the three great cosmic civilizations that we are back!"

A group of strong men rushed out and began to attack all the Führer's confidants.

……

"Fuck, this guy is awesome. He killed a Calamity-level warrior with just one shot!"

"6, this spaceship is better than my Silent Night, right?"

"Kill, kill, kill! I want to see a river of blood!"

In the bedroom, Bai Fu was lying on a recliner, with a drink in her left hand and fried chicken in her right hand. Hei Fu was massaging her shoulders behind her and Ying Fu was massaging her feet in front of her. She felt extremely comfortable.

If this scene was seen by outsiders, it would definitely cause an uproar.

Ah, is this what the Saint is like in private?

In response to this, Bai Fu said, the purpose of becoming stronger is to live a good life, so let’s continue playing music and dancing!
She was in a very good mood these days. Although the progress of various tasks did not increase and the experience pool did not increase much, under her calculations, the big villain in the hidden main line and the big villain in the main line of Taim civilization fought each other.

Especially the head of state, the loss was so heavy.

In just a few days, half of the special forces he formed were wiped out, and three of the four disaster-level members in the special forces were killed.

As for the special forces bases, all of them were reduced to ashes except those near the planet Tam.

The reason why it was so tragic was, on the one hand, because the Ten Saints Council was highly efficient, and on the other hand, because everyone except Nelis was watching the show.

Open a new instance at this time and challenge the Ten Saints?
Oh, awesome, let’s see how awesome you are!
As a result, the Führer was paralyzed.

Grass!
After losing these apparent disaster-level subordinates, it would be extremely difficult for him to do anything in the future.

Fortunately, the Führer’s bad days did not last long and came to a temporary end in just a few days.

"The mission contribution has increased. It looks like the Reborn Empire has started a fight with the Ten Saints Society."

Bai Fu was so excited that she raised her hands high and stretched out her toes.

The facts were just as she had guessed.

After making careful preparations, the Reborn Empire launched an attack on the base of the Ten Saints in the fringe world. This time they dispatched two transcendents, three overlords, and several top imperial warships in one go.

The reason why more people were not sent out was mainly because they were afraid of attracting the attention of the Supernova Corps and Titan Industries.

The reason why the Ten Saints are wanted by the three major cosmic civilizations is not only because the saints have done so many bad things, but also because they have a big secret.

This round of attack came very suddenly, and the Ten Saints were completely stunned.

When the news spread, other people who received the news, such as Yuan Yi, and people from the Supernova Corps and Titan Industries were also stunned.

Yuan Yi: "I was still investigating the relationship between Rufus and the Ten Saints, and was still thinking about how much impact the return of the Ten Saints would have on the fringe world, but it turns out that you, the Reborn Empire, have already hit the target?"

After thinking about it, everyone felt that something was wrong.

No, buddy, wasn't the news of the return of the Ten Saints just revealed by the head of the Taim civilization a few days ago? How come you have already reached the base of the Ten Saints? Isn't that too fast?
Could it be that……

The Führer is actually the one who reborn the empire?

He went to attack a small stronghold of the Ten Saints to attract the attention of the Ten Saints, and then the Reborn Empire took the opportunity to rush straight to the large stronghold of the Ten Saints?
The more they thought about it, the more they felt that this was very likely.

This matter must be investigated thoroughly. If the Head of State really secretly defected to the Reborn Empire, then they must include the Head of State in their targets of attack. They must not let this villain take advantage of the situation.

Bai Fu just wanted to trick the President and the Ten Saints, but she never expected that her actions would make all forces suspect the President's identity.

The leader is very powerful, after all, he is the real ruler, but other major factions in the civil war of the Taim civilization also have rulers standing on their platforms. After losing the concealment of his identity, most of his advantages are gone.

Up to this point, the main storyline of the Taim civilization has completely deviated from its original trajectory.

……

Drop drop-

A few hours later, the Virtual Heart sent the collected information to Bai Fu.

This is the latest information about the Reborn Empire's encirclement and suppression of the Ten Saints Society.

Under the attack of the Reborn Empire, the Ten Saints suffered heavy losses and even lost a master, but the saint still escaped from the encirclement with his loach-like physique.

"It seems that there is still some work to do on this main quest."

Bai Fu submitted the task of [The Saint's Wail].

Because she did not personally participate in the battle, the final reward was only 3.9 million experience points, nothing else, but it was better than nothing.

[The next round of quests will be triggered after finding a new location for the Ten Saints or raising the favorability of the Reborn Empire to above 400]

"400 favorability points, that's a bit difficult."

After telling the Reborn Empire about the information about the Ten Saints Society, Bai Fu unlocked the favorability and reputation of the Reborn Empire camp.

The current favorability is 180 and the reputation is 30, both of which can only be described as mediocre.

Take your time. Bai Fu is not in a hurry now. After all, there is still more than a month left before the end of version 2.0. By the time players really get involved in the battle between the three cosmic civilizations, it will have to be version 1.

Time passed slowly, and finally, Bai Fu's communicator rang.

She clicked on the virtual screen of the communicator and found that the Reborn Empire had sent her the two Domination-level advanced knowledge she wanted.

"The enhanced genome of the Earth King is also on its way. It will be delivered to Lockheed in two days. Please pay attention to receive it."

Bai Fu smiled and nodded. Looking at Julian who was in a low mood, she said, "You seem to be in a bad mood."

Julian sighed, "Don't mention it. The saint escaped again this time. The most important thing is... stop, stop. I can't tell you about this. Anyway, the information you provided is still very useful."

Since Julian didn't want to say more, Bai Fu didn't insist.

Her focus now is not this, but to digest the things exchanged from the Reborn Empire as quickly as possible.

After learning two new advanced knowledge and integrating the enhanced genes of the King of the Earth, she was only two steps away from becoming the master.

The first step is to increase the basic inspiration to 5000!

The second step is to defeat an opponent whose single attribute is no less than 4000!
Bai Fu has already decided who to deal with.

"It's decided to be you, the Glorious Forces!"

Bai Fu planned to sacrifice the Glorious Army before the Führer.

Follow the leader’s path and leave him with no way to go!
This will definitely annoy the Führer, but by then she will have been promoted to the Overlord, so why would she be afraid of the Führer!
