Who made her an NPC!.

Chapter 37: A Monument for Heroes [Two-in-one please read]

The journey back to the abandoned cooling plant was easier than Bai Fu had imagined.

Spirit 14, Inspiration 16, these two attributes have greatly enhanced her five senses, and she can detect the movements of the amoeba from a long distance.

Using this ability she purposely avoided the larger amoeba swarms, and she had only experienced four battles before she saw the fence at the edge of the abandoned cooling plant.

These four battles were just warm-ups for her now. She didn't even use [Power Surge (Inferior)] to temporarily increase her strength, and she easily turned those amoebas into experience points.

Including the amoebas she killed while driving just now, Bai Fu earned another 13038 experience points on this trip, successfully bringing her experience points reserves to 14007. Once the [Insect Tide Invasion] mission is completed, she will almost have enough experience points needed for career advancement.

The only problem is that she hasn't found the book of advanced professional knowledge yet.

"There might be some good stuff in the library of the Wildfire Gang that only the leader of the Wildfire Gang can enter. Even if there is nothing in this library, there should be some in the Lin En Settlement."

Bai Fu was in a pretty good mood.

After taking a look around the live broadcast room opened by the players in the abandoned cooling plant, she felt better.

She first pulls the players' emotions by standing up in the abandoned cooling plant, making them think that she is dead. Then her performance on the road gives players a glimmer of hope in despair, making them think that she may still have a chance to survive. Finally, when she is about to succeed, she decisively sacrifices herself, paving the way for players to tomorrow.

After these three waves of struggle, the players' emotions were pushed to the extreme and they urgently needed an opportunity to explode.

Sadness, pain, unforgettable...

Every player in the live broadcast room she watched was venting these three emotions, and the most excited one was none other than Digging Ji.

As the emotions went up and down, Diwa Ji vividly used facial expressions to show the changes in the mentality of the players who supported Bai Fu in front of all the viewers in the live broadcast room.

From sitting on the ground and making a mess, to picking himself up again, to fainting on the spot, and then getting up again after hearing that Bai Fu might still be alive, the effect of the show is comparable to the classic "big words at the beginning, nonsense in the middle, and silence in the end". He was nicknamed the sit-up master by people who like to have fun, and was even made into an emoticon package, and it seems that he is about to become a meme.

Bai Fu laughed immediately.

It is easier to spread when it becomes a meme, just like the "Krillin offers sacrifice to the heavens, with boundless magic power" in Dragon Ball. Although it is a bit hellish, as long as it is mentioned, everyone will involuntarily think of the classic scene that matches the meme.

This is very beneficial for her to consolidate her popularity and expand her fame among the player community.

"The atmosphere has already been set, and we just need to wait for the emotions to ferment for a while."

Her plan was to wait for half a day before revealing herself to the players.

If you show up too early, your emotions won't be pent up enough, and when they do explode they won't be strong enough. Of course, showing up too late is not good either, because who knows what accidents may happen then.

Ten minutes later, Bai Fu successfully arrived at the Wildfire Gang.

Since only three hours had passed since she discovered the strengthening potion, her first stop was not the laboratory, but the library that only the Wildfire Gang leader could enter freely.

There was no one around, so she shot the lock on the door, broke it, and pushed it open.

The library was not big, and she searched it thoroughly in just over ten minutes.

Bai Fu felt regretful that there was no advanced knowledge of the psychic school in the library, but she was not completely without gain. She found three books on advanced knowledge of other professions on the bookshelf -

"Gunner Training Manual 2.0", "Advanced Study of Muscles and Power", "Introduction to Qi"

She can't use these three advanced knowledge books for the time being, but she can use them as rewards for players to increase their favorability.

After leaving the library, Bai Fu next set her sights on the Wildfire Gang’s vault and logistics warehouse.

It took her a full hour and a half to search the vault and logistics warehouse for everything that was useful to her.

It has to be said that she was really happy about the gold coins she got this time. She got more than 17 credit coins alone. Counting what she had saved before, her savings now exceed 20. She can definitely be called a little rich woman.

In addition to credit coins, she also got more than twenty guns, a grenade launcher, a bag of marching rations that could quickly restore physical strength, three new sets of protective inner armor, a dozen military binoculars, and some small miscellaneous items, such as bullets.

If it wasn't so conspicuous, she would have wanted to drive away the Wildfire Gang leader's exclusive car.

Bai Fu packed all these things into boxes before entering the laboratory.

At this time, the progress bar behind the strengthening potion was full. She carefully opened the incubator. There were two bottles of potion in the incubator, and she only took one.

The reason why she didn't take them all was, on the one hand, because one bottle was enough for her, and on the other hand, because she was keenly aware that the strengthening potion made by Yulia might be related to the main mission of Zuyuan Star.

She felt it necessary to ask the Primarch to take the potion back for analysis to see what exactly the Truth Society was up to.

After closing the incubator again, Bai Fu quickly ran home with her spoils.

Through the player's live broadcast room, she found that most of the amoeba that invaded the abandoned cooling plant had been killed. It was estimated that the insect tide would be completely suppressed in a while. By then, some people would definitely come to the Wildfire Gang, and she didn't want to run into those people.

Just as she thought, she received a game prompt just as she dragged the box back to the open space full of construction waste in front of her house.

[You have completed the task [Insect Tide Invasion], with a contribution rate of 23.6%, and received a reward of 40000 experience points, 3 attribute points, and a Psionic Knowledge Chain (4)]

"Ok?"

Since the [Insect Invasion] mission was not a faction mission, even though Bai Fu's contribution was as high as 23.6%, she still did not receive any additional title rewards like she did when she attacked the player base last time. However, the rewards given by the mission itself were enough to surprise her.

She originally thought that it would be good enough to gain 10000 experience points after completing the task, but she didn't expect the task to give her 40000 directly. Is this the charm of high-difficulty tasks?
With this experience, she can upgrade her advanced profession to Lv2 in one go.

Needless to say, the reward of 3 attribute points is very good. Bai Fu decisively added all these 3 attribute points to her physique, raising her physique to 29 points.

But among these three rewards, the most valuable one is actually [Psionic Knowledge Chain (4)].

The career system in StarCraft is different from that in other online games. It is more like the technology tree system in some farming games.

To unlock advanced professions, you must first learn the prerequisite knowledge!
When players are learning primary and advanced professions, they only need the corresponding profession knowledge books and experience. However, to upgrade from an advanced profession to a high-level profession, profession knowledge books and experience are not enough. You must first master at least 5 knowledge chains.

This is what is called knowledge is power!

Of course, these knowledge chains are not learned in vain. Every time you master a knowledge chain, you can get corresponding bonuses.

Bai Fu reached out and clicked on the [Psionic Knowledge Chain (4)] she had just obtained, and the enhanced effect popped up immediately.

[All psychic active skill effects +20%, psychic resistance +20%]

[Note: Unlock a new knowledge chain, all psychic active skill effects +20%, psychic resistance +20%, psychic recovery speed +2/minute]

Taking into account the 10% bonus provided by low-level psychic mastery, from now on, the effectiveness of the skills used by Bai Fu will be increased by 30%, and the gap between her and ordinary psychic apprentices will be widened at once.

"Finally, it looks a bit like an elite monster."

Bai Fu stared excitedly at the bottle of strengthening potion in her pocket. If she could successfully digest the potion and throw herself into the Novice Village, the pressure she would bring would probably be greater than that of Yulia's fake body.

But how can I digest the strengthening potion?
Seeing the words "10% chance of causing target to become alienated" in the potion instructions, Bai Fu started to have a headache.

Let's wait a little longer. She doesn't dare to gamble now.

"Anya."

Bai Fu called out Anya who was hiding in the basement.

After staying in the basement for almost half a day, Anya was already sweating profusely with anxiety. Seeing Bai Fu returning safely, she rushed over directly.

"Boss, I can hardly wait to come out and look for you."

Bai Fu smiled and pulled her to the big box: "Open it and take a look." Anya opened the box with a suspicious look on her face. She had a feeling that there might be good things in the box, but after seeing the pile of credit coins that was taller than her, she was so shocked that she lost her voice.

"Boss, this..."

Anya looked left and right, at a loss as to what to do.

Bai Fu said, "It's all real money. Okay, move the money to the basement."

Anya quickly did as she was told. She smiled foolishly as she moved. Now that was good, she wouldn't have to go hungry anymore!

Bai Fu looked at Anya's excited back with a smile.

After being busy for so long, she finally got rid of the embarrassing situation she faced when she first crossed over. In fact, she was still far from safe because she had just provoked the Truth Society. But things are different now. She already has a certain ability to protect herself, and the place where she is is the territory of the Primarch. No matter how arrogant the Truth Society is, they dare not act recklessly.

After moving the other things in the box into the basement, Bai Fu gulped down two large glasses of boiled water, and then wandered around the community.

She just wanted to see the players' reactions, but when she opened the community, the first thing she saw was the official announcement that was pinned to the top.

[Update Announcement of "Above the Stars"]

Dear interstellar adventurers:
"Above the Stars" has been loved by the majority of players after its official public beta. In order to ensure the stable operation of the server and the service quality, the game will be shut down for maintenance in 1 hour. The maintenance is expected to take 4 hours. We apologize for the inconvenience caused to all adventurers.

[Update Announcement]
1. Expand the server capacity to allow more players to join the adventure
2. Enable the [Guild] function. Adventurers are welcome to create their own guilds.
three,……

……

After the maintenance is over, "Above the Stars" will bring you a brand new promotional video, so stay tuned. 】

The announcement listed a lot of items, most of which had nothing to do with the game content, but mainly focused on some experience upgrades for gaming peripherals.

Bai Fu was only concerned about the maintenance downtime itself.

The game will be shut down for maintenance for 4 hours. Considering that the flow of time in the game is different from the flow of time outside the game, the actual time players are offline will be much more than 4 hours. As for how long it will be, it depends on how the official arrangements are made.

"If the players don't come back online for two or three days, how can I stage a grand drama of the return of the dead in front of them and trigger their suppressed emotions?"

Bai Fu is numb.

Those players who were looking for her were also confused after seeing the update announcement.

[Fuck, I just want to know whether Bai Fu is dead or not, but you update this? ]

[Asshole, don’t come out and interrupt me at this time. Even if you want to update, at least tell me Fu Fu’s ending first.]

[Does the official want to be scolded? ]

[Is it possible? I mean, is there a possibility that the reason why the official server suddenly shut down for maintenance was not to expand the server capacity, but to take this opportunity to fix the "BUG" of Bai Fu's death? ]

[It seems that this is really possible]

No matter how anxious, how much they cursed, or how reluctant the players were to leave, when the announced time arrived, they were still forced to log off.

"Dead, all dead. For Bai Fu, for the abandoned cooling plant, they..."

At dawn, beside the ruins piled with amoeba corpses, Xia Shi sighed with a sad face.

Even if Bai Fu successfully used bait to divert the insect tide, a war was inevitable in order to eliminate the amoeba that had already reached the abandoned cooling plant.

Although all the amoebas were destroyed, the outsiders also fell one after another. In the end, only four or five out of the hundred outsiders were still standing.

What a fierce battle this is!

Xia Shi, who was used to seeing blood and fire, almost vomited after seeing such a tragic scene.

She wanted to go forward to comfort the surviving outsiders, but she really couldn't think of what to say. In the end, she could only watch the surviving outsiders stagger away until they completely disappeared from her sight.

"Think positively and don't let yourself get depressed," Yago counselled.

Xia Shi nodded: "I understand, just wait a few days... Wait, Yago, look over there!"

there?

Yago looked in the direction of the sound.

He saw a lone figure appearing in the morning mist.

One step, two steps, three steps...Finally, the figure came closer through the mist.

This time, Yago saw it clearly.

"Bai Fu!"

Bai Fu is back alive!
Yago opened his eyes wide, and for a moment, his heart was filled with joy. In this chilly morning, he finally encountered something good.

If those outsiders who died in the battle knew that Bai Fu was still alive, they would feel a lot more relaxed in the underworld, right?
……

After reuniting with Yago and Xia Shi, Bai Fu shared her newly-made story with them.

The story is very simple, that is, she was attacked by a large number of amoebas after getting off the car. In order to better contain these amoebas, she ran a long way with them. She thought she was dead, but unexpectedly, these amoebas chased her and turned around and left. At that moment, she realized that the operation was successful. She wanted to go back to find Patrick, but she lost her way in the dark. She wandered around all night before returning to the abandoned cooling plant safely.

"So the current situation is that I survived, but they died?" Bai Fu's face was expressionless.

Yago and Xia Shi comforted him, “Yes.”

"Ugh."

Bai Fu sighed. She sat quietly beside the ruins, as if waiting for someone. She sat there for a long time, until the afternoon. She stood up resignedly, walked to the body of a player that had not disappeared yet, and kicked it gently with her shoe.

"Didn't you say you wouldn't die? What's happening now? Come back to life! Come back to life and show me!"

Xia Shi suspected that Bai Fu had lost her mind due to the shock: "Bai Fu, the dead cannot be resurrected, you..."

Bai Fu opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end she held back what she was going to say.

“They saved the abandoned cooling plant and I wanted to build a memorial for them.”

Yago and Xia Shi were moved: "I'll help you."

"Thank you."

Looking at the two people who were so motivated, Bai Fu couldn't help but snickering.

Building a monument for players, this is her way of dealing with players suddenly going offline!
Anyway, as long as the players know that she is still alive, the emotions that were previously suppressed will definitely explode. In this case, why should she bother to show up in front of the players?

In fact, Bai Fu was quite grateful for the official's operation, because this wave of operations suppressed the emotions of the entire player. Not only that, this wave of official operations also directly raised the popularity of the issue of "Is Bai Fu alive or dead?". Many people who originally didn't care about her life or death were also attracted and started playing a prize-free guessing game in the community.

When the game is reopened and players go online and see the monument, what will they think?

Bai Fu is very much looking forward to it.

Serve it quickly, she can’t wait!
