When You Become an NPC That Might Die Any Moment in the Novice Village
Chapter 483 - 483: Task 174 settlement, Bai Fu the female main character pursued by tens of thousands【7.4k】_4

The requirement for Branch Four was to take out the biological battleship, but since the biological battleship had been bombarded to death by ship cannons and planet array cannons, Bai Fu didn't get any rewards.

One could say it's a bit of a pity, but it wasn't a big deal.

Because the reward for Branch Five [Buying Time] was enough to make Bai Fu forget about that small loss.

The task reward for Branch Five depended on the contribution of Bai Fu's team, and whether it was Bai Fu herself or the players, their contributions in the Heavenly Lake Star campaign were top-notch, thus the rewards for this branch were also very substantial.

[Reward received: Star Network Community Affinity +400, 24 million Experience Value points, and 10 attribute points]

These 400 points of Affinity increased the Star Network Community's affinity for her to 480, changing from [Friendship] to [Respect], still 520 points away from [Adoration].

Including the newly gained 24 million Experience Value points, Bai Fu now had over 60 million Experience Value points on her. To earn 60 million Experience Value points from a single mission was definitely not small, but compared to squeezing experience from players...

She shook her head, understanding even more deeply what it meant to acquire a taste for something.

It still had to be the players!

It so happened that the players also earned a significant amount of experience this time. When they returned to Ulysses Star, it was time to find an excuse to squeeze them a bit.

After all, these players couldn't level up with the experience they hoarded on themselves anyway, so they might as well hand it all over to her to enjoy a good time. If she was happy, eventually, she could reciprocate by giving the players more benefits.

Bai Fu opened her attribute panel, and first added the 10 attribute points to Inspiration, then in one go, she maxed out the levels of all the skills and Prayer Cards that could be upgraded.

"Even without upgrading, Spirit Storm's diameter was already several tens of meters. After boosting it to +10, the diameter hit an impressive 300 meters, and this power was easily enough to destroy a small town."

Bai Fu was quite satisfied with the results of this upgrade.

The only problem was that the production costs for these +10 high-level Prayer Cards were very high, and without the Star Network Community providing all sorts of raw materials for free, she had to be frugal with card production and usage, or else she would swiftly bankrupt herself.

After tallying up the regular rewards, Bai Fu then clicked on the hidden reward that was triggered when Camp Reputation reached 300.

The hidden reward was a single item—

[Skill Advanced Stone]

As the name suggests, a Skill Advanced Stone could upgrade a skill into a higher-order skill, provided that the skill had already reached full level and there was a corresponding high-order skill available.

"Sss—"

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

Could such good fortune truly exist?

She quickly flipped through her skills, various passives, Heavenly Burial, Flying Demon Blade, Spiritual Ability Repair, Summoning True Spirit, Superpower Field...

Wait a second, it's decided then, Superpower Field!

Bai Fu had long coveted the advanced substitute skill for Superpower Field. After using the Skill Advanced Stone on Superpower Field, it was transformed into [Advanced Force Field]. Lv1 Advanced Force Field, compared to Lv10 Superpower Field, had the same damage reduction ratio and damage coefficient enhancement, but the former Repulsion Field instantly evolved into a Multi-Functional Force Field.

Repulsion, compression, tearing, traction, distortion—the utility of the force field increased immensely.

"Awesome!"

Bai Fu was thrilled, worthy of being a skill she had copied from Julia. What was most impressive was that the Advanced Force Field could continue to advance.

"This commission was not in vain at all."

Before coming to Heavenly Lake Star, she was still stuck at the peak of A-level, but after leaving Heavenly Lake Star, not only had she successfully advanced to S-level, but she also acquired three pieces of Advanced Knowledge, several high-level Prayer Cards, 500,000 Credit Points, three production lines, a wealth of Reputation and Affinity, as well as many secret intelligence reports. She had truly made a killing.

This was indeed a bountiful harvest!

However, Bai Fu was very clear that the benefits the Heavenly Lake Star operation brought her were far more than these.

[You have triggered a hidden storyline, Initial Gate Star System exploration degree increased by +0.2%]

Exploration Degree!

This meant that she could look forward to a new round of enhancements. Moreover, as her Reputation fermented, there were definitely many other benefits waiting for her.

Bai Fu closed all the panels.

After bidding farewell to Manu, who distributed the rewards, she headed straight for Fei Ye's resting place, planning to conduct a thorough and in-depth physical exam on Fei Ye, and also to go online to see how the people of the Sea Lion Star System were evaluating her now.

As she walked through the corridors of the spaceship, everyone was affectionately calling her name, and many were giving her gifts. She had become the most dazzling person in the entire fleet, as if she were enveloped in a halo of Holy Light.

Popularity is just like that!

...

As the Heavenly Lake Star Fleet packed up and prepared to evacuate Heavenly Lake Star, in some distant part of the starry sky, [Night Mother] Cecilia suddenly awoke from her bed with a start.

One hand pressed against her chest, she gasped for breath.

After a moment, the door was knocked, and the view outside appeared before her eyes. She saw a man whose head was obscured by a constantly shifting aura of colored light.

The Housekeeper of the Secret Tower!

This title flashed through Cecilia's mind.

She climbed out of bed, opened the door, and hung her head low, "I'm sorry, I messed up. I failed to bring back the progenitor and also failed to kill that woman named Bai Fu."

A gentle voice responded, "Don't blame yourself. Just now, the survivors from the followers Holt brought to Heavenly Lake Star sent back a message. They said Holt revealed an important piece of information before he died."

Cecilia was taken aback, "What information?"

The Housekeeper said, "Holt stated that Bai Fu is not a human at all."

"A special race?"

Cecilia's pupils constricted.

That was just like her, no, not exactly the same. Bai Fu was probably not human to begin with, whereas she was once human but later became a half-human, half-monster.

The Housekeeper continued, "That Bai Fu has a very special ability, and with the Void Battle Maiden there, your failure was inevitable. Rest now. I will come to you when there's a new task."

Cecilia nodded and watched as the Housekeeper was about to leave, and she quickly asked, "How does the leader judge my failure this time?"

The Housekeeper answered, "The leader hopes you will continue to hone your ability. It is a gift from the heavens."

Continue to hone her ability?

Cecilia felt her heart squeeze.

Actually, she loathed this ability, and she loathed her current self, but if it was the leader who had given her a second life telling her to hone it, she had no choice but to do as instructed.

After the Housekeeper left, Cecilia left her room.

She passed through the corridors, and everyone who encountered her stepped aside in trepidation, looking at her as one would a monster.

That's right, that look!

In the Secret Tower, apart from normal task handovers, no one dared to touch her, even though she had a more enchanting appearance than a fox and a more perfect physique than a fitness queen.

Because she was a monster parasitized by a spider!

The spider devoured her body, and she devoured the spider's body.

Minutes later, Cecilia arrived at the gravity training room. She wasn't there to train but to take a bath.

Because she had used the special ability called Life Descent to appear next to the corpse of the Brain Worm, she had exhausted a vast amount of strength, and sweat continuously seeped out from all over her body. The sweat trapped between her skin and the black bodysuit caused discomfort with even the slightest friction.

She had the AI prepare hot water and fine-tune the virtual environment, took off her clothes, and stepped into the bathtub.

As the back of her head rested lightly on a soft cushion, Cecilia said, "Open up the biggest news channel from the Star Network Community for me."

A virtual screen popped up, and the news channel was broadcasting about Bai Fu and Fei Ye.

In the news, Bai Fu was referred to as the Savior Saintess, the Goddess of Victory. She was protected by the crowd around her, the spotlight focusing on her. She carried a slight smile on her face, gentle as water, like a natural main character, unconsciously drawing people's gaze.

Cecilia bowed her head and looked at her chest that was just covered by water, at the strange patterns that had been hidden by her black bodysuit.

Why, when none of them were human, could Bai Fu become the wildly sought-after main character while she could only hide in this bathtub, becoming a monster despised and loathed even by herself?

A wave of extremely intense emotion rose within Cecilia.

The name of this emotion was—

Jealousy!

Cecilia raised her right hand, forcefully grabbing at the virtual screen in front of her. The screen shattered, the voice of the news report vanished, and only her rapid breathing echoed in the bathroom.
