Who made her an NPC!.

Chapter 274: The spokesperson of the new version, exploration pioneer Bai Fu [5k]

In order to get a good start in version 2.2, Bai Fu put in a lot of effort.

A few days before the new version was officially launched, she purchased a large number of modified mining ships, which cost her nearly half of her savings.

However, this is still not enough, mainly because of the lack of time, and the delivery of the spacecraft also takes time.

So, she deliberately found the Star Covenant, the Arcane Library and the Origin Consortium, and shamelessly borrowed more than 10,000 spaceships from them.

With this face, she is now qualified to show off wherever she goes, even to the three major cosmic civilizations.

Having said that, I have to thank Saint Zephyr.

Although Saint Fu did not send her any props or equipment, Saint Fu sacrificed himself and his counselors put themselves into the game, and single-handedly raised her reputation in the three major cosmic civilizations from a little-known name to a famous one, fully worthy of the title of "Saint".

Bai Fu smiled and looked around.

After the player who was speechless due to the shock of the spaceship array gradually came to his senses, she raised the pointer in her hand, tapped the "blackboard", and told about her next plan.

Very simple.

The next natural step is to build a transit base in the Dark Domain.

The Dark Domain is so large that it would be very troublesome to supply the spacecraft without a transit base.

The first transit base chosen by Bai Fu was Zuyuan Star.

The reason why she chose Zuyuan Star was, on the one hand, because she was familiar with it, and on the other hand, she wanted to make the players happy, especially those players who came from Zuyuan Star.

After more than a decade of hard work in the game, players have become successful compared to their novice planet selves.

Wealth and honor should return to one’s hometown!
Go visit the places where you once struggled, go visit the NPCs with whom you once struggled, reminisce the youth that passed away in the sunset, and brag to your new partners about your past self. This emotional value is maxed out!
Bai Fu believes that this will inevitably arouse the creative enthusiasm of players.

Just as she thought, when Zuyuan Star appeared on the big screen behind her, all the players who walked out of Zuyuan Star became excited.

[Damn, I've wanted to go back to Zuyuan Star for a long time, but when I thought about how much time it would take to go back and forth, I was worried about missing the plot, so I never dared to go back.]

[Fufu is awesome! I wonder if those NPCs who fought the Primarch with me are still around]

[When do we leave? I can’t wait]

when?
Of course it will happen immediately!
Although the Empire has not officially announced the launch of the Dark Domain Exploration Program, Bai Fu has already received advance news from Julian and Whitney, saying that the Empire's envoys are already on their way to the edge world.

Next, the Imperial envoy will secretly contact a large number of people and preside over the establishment of new star gates on the fringe worlds.

Therefore, it's time for her to seize the initiative.

"The Black King and Shadow Fu will go with you. I will come right after we deal with the Stargate construction and Taimu civilization matters."

After the meeting, under the guidance of a large group of little black girls, the excited players boarded the spaceship one by one and headed towards the place where they had come from.

Ten thousand ships launch at the same time!

Homecoming!

It’s not like players haven’t seen more spectacular scenes than this, but this is definitely the first time they have experienced it in person.

And this time they don't have to squeeze with other players. Each spaceship only carries more than 100 players. The degree of freedom and comfort makes the players from other camps so envious that their eyes turn red.

[Just be complacent. Sooner or later your fleet will be beaten to pieces by the Ten Saints and the Apostle Holy City. By then, you will be captured by Sui Xi and locked in the basement. You will be stuck in a dilemma, unable to live or die. Hehehe.]

Fengqi Qunxing turned off the live broadcast of Diwaji with an unhappy look on his face. Then he opened the game group he had created.

The players in the group are all firm believers of Bai Fu Xiao Hei Zi, probably.

At least Fengqi Qunxing thought so. He had checked the comments made by every player who joined the group in the community. Although everyone criticized Bai Fu in different ways, they all worked hard to criticize her.

[The new version has begun. What we need to do next is to find a way to find the organization! ]

The so-called organization naturally refers to the camp where Sui Xi is located.

Feng Qi Qunxing's words were recognized by all the players in the group. Everyone worked together, brainstormed, and came up with many insights.

"I see. Make a note of it."

In the group, a player named [咕咕鸡] took photos and screenshots of all important speeches.

She used to be a staunch hater of Bai Fu, but later she developed feelings for her. In addition, Bai Fu never did anything bad in the plot, and the benefits she gave to players were surprisingly good, so she turned from hater to passerby, and from passerby to fan.

She didn't go directly to Bai Fu because she had taken on a long-term mission a while ago.

She planned to finish this task before going to the Silent Garden. Then, at this moment, Feng Qi Qun Xing suddenly posted a message saying that he would take everyone to join [Bai Fu’s rival, Sui Xi].

[For a long time, the reason why we have been unable to defeat Bai Fu, the cunning villain, is because we lack a real organization]

[There is no practical meaning in talking nonsense online. If Bai Fu could be killed by scolding people, then those NPC black people who are much more numerous than us would have scolded Bai Fu to death long ago.]

[We need an organization more powerful than the Court of Silence]

[As we all know, the villains in games and animations are usually more organized and proactive than the protagonists. They can't beat the protagonists because they are too arrogant, because the protagonists have too many cheats, or because the screenwriters force them to be less intelligent.]

[But in Stars, this kind of thing can be effectively avoided. In this game, the villain can also become the protagonist. If we can unite and assist Sui Xi, with our abilities, we can help Sui Xi take down Bai Fu sooner or later! ]

After seeing this post, Guguji hesitated for a moment and then chose to sneak into the Fengqi Qunxing group as an undercover agent.

Because she was really a black fan in the past, she passed the review easily.

She has been lurking in the group for quite some time, and now she has finally waited for Fengqi Qunxing's next move.

You dare to slander my Admiral Fu Fu, right? Wait until I have collected enough intelligence, and then I will secretly tell the Digging Ji and send you all to heaven!
The players in the Silent Garden flew to Zuyuan Star, and Guguji also gathered with Fengqi Qunxing and others. They planned to join the exploration team. Only in this way would they have a chance to meet the Ten Saints Society. Once they met the Ten Saints Society, they would surrender directly.

Although the Ten Saints may doubt their motives, it is not a big problem because they have a pledge of allegiance.

That is to tell the Ten Saints the location of the Zuyuan Star!

Even if the Ten Saints don't want to take them in, Cade, who has a deep hatred for Bai Fu, will definitely take them in, so that they can get close to Sui Xi.

"Hehe, Bai Fu, you're done!"

Feng Qi Qun Xing was smiling very happily. For fear of the news leaking out, he did not post anything or do live broadcasts during this period. He was just waiting for the success to astonish everyone.

……

"Yeah, okay, I understand. Thank you for your help."

Bai Fu hung up the call with Julian.

When she turned her head, she found that more than a dozen people around her were staring at her intently.

"The three major civilizations have reached an agreement, and the civil war in the Taimu civilization will soon end. I will go there in the next few days to formally negotiate cooperation with the Empire."

Yulia nodded. "If we formally cooperate with the Empire, it's hard to say what the attitude of Titan Industries will be, but the hostility of the Supernova Corps will probably increase greatly. They are a group of warlike people. You have embarrassed them in the Virtual Realm Research Institute..."

Bai Fu said, "I will try my best to get the Empire to build one of the star gates near Ulysses. In this way, unless the Supernova Corps wants to break up with the Empire, they won't be stupid enough to attack Ulysses directly. We just need to be careful when exploring the dark domain."

"Have you figured out how to defend yourself?"

"This is one of the reasons why I went to Taimu civilization."

Bai Fu chuckled.

She has used two of the three location cards so far.

There was one card left that she originally wanted to give to Rufus, but now she had no idea where Rufus was, so she might as well use it on the Supernova Corps to be on guard.

Seeing that Bai Fu had thought of everything, the others stopped worrying about it.

"Practice well and wait for me to come back."

Bai Fu patted Anya and Cypris.

Among those who followed her, Anya and Cypris are the closest to the disaster level. After digesting the resources she got from the empire, the spiritual attributes of these two have now reached more than 1900, and they may be promoted to the disaster level at any time.

This couldn't come at a more timely moment.

The exploration of the dark domain requires more disaster-level players to enter.

Anya straightened up the cute little bun even after she became an adult: "Boss, don't worry, I will definitely be able to advance to the level of a natural disaster when you come back."

After giving some instructions, Bai Fu rushed to the Taim civilization.

Her first stop was the Governorate of Costari, which was controlled by Nelis.

Dark Moon Tide and Nellis still had a hiring fee to settle, and she also planned to visit Nellis, her former companion.

Unlike the high-spirited look he had when the civil war broke out, Nelis now looks extremely haggard.

The Civil War is over.

But what is the difference between an ending like this and no ending?

After discussions among the three cosmic civilizations, the Taim civilization reached a de facto split, which was completely different from his original idea.

At a glance, he had no idea when the Taimu civilization would be able to reunite. "I have a deeper understanding of the saying that those who fall behind will be beaten."

Nelis took a few gulps of wine.

Bai Fu spread her hands helplessly.

"In fact, it doesn't mean there is no chance at all. Next..."

Halfway through her speech she shook her head again.

It can be predicted that the chaos in the game will become more and more serious. It is hard to say whether the three major cosmic civilizations can withstand it at that time, so the Taim civilization still has a chance to reunify.

But it is possible that the Taim civilization will explode before the three major cosmic civilizations explode, so it is better not to be too sure, lest Nelis's expectations be in vain.

After comforting Nelis for a while, Bai Fu left Costari and flew towards Taim, the capital planet of the Taim civilization.

"Are you emotionally affected by what Nelis said?"

Yulia sat down next to Bai Fu, crossed her legs and folded her arms across her chest.

"No, I'm just thinking whether there is a true God in this world, rather than a false God like the God of Psychic Power."

After playing the game for so long, Bai Fu became more and more curious about the [nature] of this game.

Judging from the technological level displayed in the world where the players live, they shouldn't be able to make such an outrageous game.

and so……

"Ok?"

Bai Fu tried to lift it up…but failed, and almost hit Mount Buzhou with anger.

"What are you doing?"

She looked at Yulia in confusion, who was so close to her and looked like a towering mountain that was about to overwhelm her.

"Come on, comfort you."

"???"

My emotions are really normal, you...

If you keep quibbling, I'll just press your head!

"..."

……

On Planet Taim, Bai Fu met an acquaintance.

[Oh, isn't this holy? ]

She was originally thinking about who in the Supernova Corps should the positioning card be put to so that she could use it better. Now, she could just stick it on Zephyr's head.

If the Supernova Corps wants to deal with her, Zephyr will most likely not be absent.

"Senior Zefer, long time no see."

Bai Fu smiled and went to greet Zephyr.

Zefer's face turned dark and he turned around and wanted to leave, but he felt that it would be more embarrassing to leave like this, so he had to bite the bullet and say hello to Bai Fu.

You still call me senior, but the way you deal with your senior is to hit him hard with a spinning top in front of a group of people, right?
His grandma's.

Bai Fu didn't bother Zefer for too long. She put the positioning card on and went to discuss the specific details of the cooperation with the people from the Empire.

This is the most important thing for her on this trip. The bigger the contract she negotiates, the more mission reward experience she can get. In this way, she can be promoted to the transcendent level faster.

Bai Fu was very confident because she had won over Yuan Yi and the Lord of the Oath in advance.

A behemoth like the Empire that has been able to develop to this day cannot be a stingy person. After learning that Bai Fu really wanted to cooperate, they also showed their sincerity, but added an extra condition. They hoped that Bai Fu would help shoot a promotional advertisement for the Dark Domain Exploration. Because Bai Fu had a very good image and had a large number of undead under her command, letting Bai Fu shoot the advertisement might mobilize more undead to join the Empire camp.

Bai Fu agreed immediately.

It's not like I'm taking a photo of Sese, there's nothing to refuse.

Finally, the two parties signed the exploration contract very amicably.

This contract is divided into two phases.

The first stage is to establish a dark domain transfer station.

The second stage is to explore the surrounding areas with these transit stations as the center, looking for spiritual temples and apostolic holy cities.

When Bai Fu signed her name on the contract, she received a new task prompt.

[You have triggered the main quest [Pioneer]]

[Task Introduction: ...]

Mission objectives:
Branch 1. Help the Reborn Empire shoot a dark domain exploration advertisement and be rewarded with 5000 million experience points;
Branch 2. Assist the Reborn Empire in building a star gate. The reward depends on the contribution, and the basic reward is 2 million experience points.
Branch 3. Build the Zuyuan Star Exploration Transfer Station. The reward depends on the contribution, and the basic reward is 4 million experience points;
Branch 4. Explore the dark area, the reward depends on the exploration point. 】

The so-called exploration points are a set of standard measurement values ​​established by the Empire's super host [Glory] to measure the contribution to dark domain exploration.

Exploration points can be used as money. As long as you connect to Glory through the Glory host key issued by the Empire, you can buy things in special stores, including but not limited to various supplies and cutting-edge knowledge of super-powered people.

This is the benefit that the Empire gives to its partners.

Cluster-level civilizations usually regard all kinds of knowledge as very important and will never share it with others unless necessary.

But when they reach the level of an empire, they hope to use knowledge to cultivate more masters and transcendents, because they have enough confidence that they can tie these masters and transcendents to their own super chariot.

"Pleasant to work with."

Bai Fu stood up with a smile. She was very satisfied with the contract offered by the Empire.

After greeting the imperial envoy, she planned to return to Ulises first. Before she boarded the spaceship, she saw two familiar faces again——

Steel Curtain and Mullen.

These two had worked with her when guarding the Lockheed Observatory and had interacted with her for several months.

Seeing that Bai Fu had discovered them, the two of them hurried over.

"Your Excellency the Dark Lord, we have been waiting for you here for quite a while."

Bai Fu said, "Why are you calling me so politely? Just call me by my name. What do you want from me?"

Steel Curtain and Maren looked at each other, a little embarrassed on their faces: "Your Excellency the Dark Lord, we want to join the Dark Moon Tide."

"Ok?"

Bai Fu was full of questions.

She is strong now and has a great reputation, but she is not yet at the level where people will bow down to her with just one move, right?

Steel Curtain and Maren are both Calamity Grade, and even if they don't join the Dark Moon Tide, their mercenaries can still be prosperous.

Steel Curtain explained with a bitter face.

The root of the problem lies in the sudden pause in the civil war among the Taim civilization.

The civil war ended in failure, Gustav and List are both alive and well now. They had previously worked for Nelis and provoked Gustav and List.

Lister's side is easier to deal with. Behind Gustav stands the Supernova Corps. If they are targeted a little, they will be unable to do business. If they are targeted again, they may not even be able to save their lives.

The two originally planned to flee to other star regions, but after considering it, they decided that joining Bai Fu would provide them with a better future.

Firstly, Bai Fu is strong and has a good reputation, and secondly, the empire is behind Bai Fu.

Bai Fu's eyes swept over Gangmu and Ma Lun. Both of them had a favorability rating of around 50 towards her, so they probably weren't undercover agents.

With the addition of these two, including Anya and Cypris, the Silent Garden now has eight and a half disaster-level creatures (the half refers to the golden dew), and its foundation has been greatly enhanced.

"Okay, then you guys come back with me to Ulysses. I have to shoot a commercial for the Empire these days and help the Empire build a star gate before I head to the Dark Realm."

Steel Curtain and Mullen breathed a sigh of relief. Now they no longer had to worry about Gustav's revenge.

It has to be Saint Bai Fu, a good person!
……

After Bai Fu left Taim, the members of the Supernova Corps gathered together.

"Bai Fu has completely surrendered to the Rebirth Empire. This is not good news for us. The undead under her command are sharp knives in the exploration of the dark domain. If the Rebirth Empire uses these undead to find the Spiritual Temple in advance..."

Everyone in the conference room looked at each other, and finally turned their eyes to the huge "orc" sitting at the top.

This is Goruga, the famous physical training master of the Supernova Regiment, the Devouring Fist.

"The threat isn't just from the undead, but also from Bai Fu herself. Find a way to kill her and see if she has any cosmic treasures."
