When You Become an NPC That Might Die Any Moment in the Novice Village

When Bai Fu planned to make a move on Li Cheng, she had a premonition that there was a hidden task here, but the rewards from the game afterward still exceeded her expectations.

One ordinary task distributed everywhere + two hidden tasks, just the experience rewards added up to 160,000, and she had also gained 31,706 points of experience in the previous battle. Including the 30,342 points she had originally saved, she now had a total of 220,000 experience, which was enough to let her level up from a Spiritual Ability Prayer Master Lv3 to Lv6 in one go.

The tremendous increase in level was already exciting enough, and the hidden task [Who is the Spy?] that involved dragging out Li Cheng even came with additional rewards!

Bai Fu quickly tapped on those two additional rewards to expand the item details.

[Special Potion - Genetic Enhancement Potion]

[Quality]: Purple

[Additional Effect]: A genetic enhancement potion created by a secret research lab before the battle, it has the effect of stimulating human potential, and works even better when used with an Evolution Potion.

[Note]: There is a certain chance of causing muscle atrophy, although after many iterations, it hasn't reached perfection yet, but the success rate has already reached 93.7%.

Bai Fu's eyes brightened.

The stimulation of human potential mentioned in the item description means adding attributes or talents. The statement that followed was even more interesting; wasn't the APT-011 prototype potion she had snatched from Julia essentially the so-called Evolution Potion?

Although the success rate of the Genetic Enhancement Potion was only 93.7%, she had the Luck Talent, so there was no need to worry about failure resulting in muscle atrophy.

The Luck Talent she had strengthened last time was proving to be more and more useful.

Bai Fu's gaze then fell on the last reward.

[Prayer Card Making Atlas]

As the name suggests, this atlas is a tutorial teaching people how to create Prayer Cards by hand.

The Spiritual Ability Profession, like other systems, has many different categorizations, one of which involves fighting with pre-made Prayer Cards.

While others fight by rushing in with weapons to slash, wielding wands to cast spells, or controlling various mechanical devices to bombard indiscriminately, the Spiritual Ability Prayer Masters who play with Prayer Cards just keep throwing Prayer Cards at their opponents or themselves.

This mode of play is somewhat similar to the item-based gameplay in other games; buffing oneself, debuffing the enemy, then smashing them with props like flame, holy water, poison, hypnosis, and the job is done.

Although it's not as automatically easy as the Mechanical system that levels up later, the feeling of smashing people to death with props is quite thrilling.

This is good stuff, but unlike the Genetic Enhancement Potion, this reward isn't thoroughly excellent.

Because Bai Fu's current profession is an ordinary Spiritual Ability Prayer Master, she has no additional effects related to Spiritual Ability Prayer Cards, nor can she deduce new Prayer Cards with special effects through her mastery of Spiritual Ability knowledge.

If she wanted to make Prayer Cards, not to mention the low success rate, she could only practice with the skills she currently possessed.

As for this, Bai Fu's evaluation was—

Barely sufficient!

But this was only temporary; once she unlocked the related professions, her power was bound to explode into a new wave. According to the official website, the card-playing Spiritual Ability Profession held in the entire game was quite rare, and even more so an advanced rare profession on the Newbie Planet like Ancestral Origin Star.

"Since the reward includes a Prayer Card Making Atlas, it means that Ancestral Origin Star must have related profession knowledge books!"

Bai Fu was exhilarated.

As she examined the task rewards, a truck that had driven from the distance had already stopped. Several Special Agents hurriedly jumped down from it, the leader being Xu Hong in his Power Armor.

Even though his face was obscured, his running steps revealed his inner nervousness.

"Are you all okay, that traitor Li Cheng and..."

Xu Hong stopped.

He had already seen the fallen Li Cheng and the mutants who were beaten beyond recognition, shocked, beyond belief.

One, two, three... a total of seven, not one missing, exactly as Xia Shi had described in the terminal communication!

He had been ready to desperately rescue Bai Fu and Xia Shi from the enemy's encirclement, but to his surprise, when he arrived, all the enemies were already down.

Xia Shi was his team member, a top-notch genius in mechanical manufacturing and logistics, but in combat, she could only be described as rarely holding back.

Bai Fu was powerful; this was confirmed by the previous two assassination attempts, but for her alone to defeat the seven was unimaginable.

Thus, the amazing feat must have been accomplished by the few dozen people who had sprung up from somewhere, who, although each looked nothing special, moving lazily and sometimes saying things that were incomprehensible, anyone capable of doing such a thing in a bloody battlefield was either a fool or a master.

Xu Hong found it easier to believe the latter.

But this thought was quickly denied by Xia Shi, as an agent who had caught up from behind was shocked upon seeing Li Cheng and the others down: "Damn, what happened here?"

Xia Shi began to explain, "Li Cheng led these mutants and suddenly attacked, luckily Bai Fu, with her superior strength, not only severely injured Li Cheng but also almost single-handedly wiped out those six mutants."

"?"

The eyes of the agents who had arrived converged on Bai Fu.

The afterglow of the setting sun fell on her silver-white hair, as if draping the warrior with a medal named "Warrior's Blood." Her beautiful face showed no emotion, silently telling the tale of the White Reaper's ruthlessness.
