When You Become an NPC That Might Die Any Moment in the Novice Village
Chapter 401 - 401: 152 From a Village Girl to the Lord of a Planet, Bai Fu's Path to Advancement【5k】_2

[Unfair, unfair, I strongly demand that every newbie planet gets a Fufu!]

[Damn, tasks, so many tasks!]

Digging Girl ignored the barrage of envious and jealous comments in the live stream and cheerfully began to introduce the development history of the Pan Universe Delegation Platform.

While she was in the middle of her introduction, the sound of arguing suddenly erupted from the main hall. She quickly moved the camera over, and into the frame came an armored alien with tanned skin, clad in black armor, and his face obscured by the ravages of time, arguing with a fish-woman server whose head was sleek and slippery.

"Mr. Ke, we are already making our utmost effort to match you with suitable hunters," the server said with a face full of helplessness, "but your offer..." she trailed off. "If you could lower your demands a bit, I can guarantee that hunters will be knocking on your door within the hour."

The alien, called Vic, was visibly very agitated, "What's the use of lowering it? That's already everything I can put up. Doesn't your Pan Universe Delegation Platform claim to be able to solve all troubles? Then think of something to solve my problem!"

His angry roar echoed in the huge hall, drawing the attention of many people, including Bai Fu and Digging Girl.

However, most people glanced over twice and continued with their own business.

They had seen this kind of thing too many times before.

Trying to issue a commission when you have no money?

Give me a break.

The Star Sea is very much grounded in reality, just like certain game companies – most of the time it's all about "no money, no play, dude!"

Vic felt indignant, and he continued to shout, even slamming his hand heavily on the service counter. This time, even the server seemed to be losing her patience, "Mr. Ke, if you continue to create a disturbance without reason, our security robots will have to escort you to the planetary security administration. If you get locked up, it's going to be troublesome for your compatriots."

"This..."

Vic stiffened, and after staring at the server for a long time, he dejectedly walked outside.

What could he do when the Pan Universe Delegation Platform was an entity that even the Star Network Community didn't dare provoke?

As Vic walked out, he internally vented his anxiousness and anger. Just as he stepped out of the service area, a voice called out from behind him.

"Wait a moment."

Hmm?

Vic turned around and saw that the one who had called to him was a girl who looked very much like an Adaptive Star.

"Do you need something from me?"

Bai Fu appeared indifferent. At that moment, Vic's attribute panel appeared in front of her eyes.

[Name]: Vic

[Template]: Special - Spirit Mutation

[Main Profession]: ?Lv6[+50], Cosmic Cruiser Lv11[+10]

[Secondary Profession]: Pastry Chef Lv3

[Life Value]:...

[attribute]:...

[Skill]:...

[Talent]: Luck,...

To Bai Fu, Vic's template, professions, and skills were unimportant, but the [Luck] in his talents was very important.

Her experience on the Ancestral Origin Star had taught her that NPCs blessed with the talent of luck were either the hidden protagonists of bonus stories or key players in the main storyline.

The hidden main storyline she had leeched from Platt, the hidden protagonist of the Ancestral Origin Star, had made her a fortune. She suspected the benefits carried by the hidden protagonist of the Star Sea might just be enough to make her faint from excitement.

Realizing this, Bai Fu immediately followed him out.

"It seems like you're having some difficulty; perhaps I can help you."

Bai Fu's main selling point was her beautiful appearance matched with a sweet voice, but the more she appeared this way, the more wary Vic became, as from every aspect, Bai Fu did not seem like someone capable of solving his problems.

He replied, with endurance, "What I need is not an ordinary hunter, but a superpower user not weaker than an A-rank like myself."

Bai Fu's eyes sparkled, "That's fortunate, I'm exactly the person you're looking for!"

"You, an A-rank superpower user?"

Vic's eyelids twitched. It's not that I don't believe you, but... okay, he really didn't believe.

"Could I have a look at your hunter certificate?"

Bai Fu replied, "I am not a hunter, so I don't have a hunter certificate."

That settles it.

Vic turned to leave, but before he could step forward with his right foot, Black Fu, Julia, and An Ya came over.

"The certificate is ready," Julia said.

Bai Fu nodded and pulled out her hunter certificate, "Now it is. Take a look."

Vic: "..."

What difference does it make?

Out of politeness, he still looked at Bai Fu's hunter certificate.

[Code Name]: Silver Moon

[Point]: 0

[Resume]: None

[Rank]: A-

Wait, this rank...

Vic's eyes widened in disbelief.

Bai Fu smiled, "Just because I've only just registered as a hunter doesn't mean I'm a rookie. I have a professional team dedicated to solving various problems."

She gestured toward the players who had come out with her, who each stood tall and confident.

"The difficulty you're facing must be urgent and tough to solve, or you wouldn't have lost your composure in front of the server. Since you can't find any hunter that meets your requirements anyway, why not tell me about your difficulty."

Vic frowned. He had a feeling that Bai Fu had ulterior motives, but as Bai Fu had said, he really didn't have the luxury to be choosy.

Thinking this, he heaved a sigh and sat down on a chair by the service area's entrance.

"Three days ago, I suddenly received a distress signal. My hometown had been attacked by a group of interstellar slave traders. In no more than seven days, those slave traders will leave with the people they have captured. How could I just stand by and watch them wreak havoc in my hometown? But with my strength alone, there's no way I can stop them. That's why I came to the Pan Universe Delegation Platform to find a few hunters with not insignificant power to act with me."

As he said this, Vic gave a bitter smile, "But I can only offer up to 2000 credit points. I know that this amount of money would hardly be enough to hire even one A-rank superpower user, let alone several of them. So after I posted the task, I went everywhere to borrow money. The formal banks wouldn't lend to me because I was too poor, so I went to those loan sharks, planning to mortgage my life for money. And guess what?"
