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

[Accept/Reject]

This is a routine task, and the reason it is termed as such is because any major power holds the potential to trigger similar tasks after conflicts that are hard to resolve. However, routine does not mean the reward is ordinary.

After wiping out the Truth Society, Bai Fu not only gained a massive amount of experience but also acquired a special title that added +5% to all attributes, along with Genetic Optimization Liquid that would allow for race evolution and special blueprints. It was truly a lucrative haul.

Since the Truth Society, merely an earth-surface civilization's power, yielded such rich rewards, the Secret Tower, harboring a Catastrophe-level Superpower User and an interstellar force, promised unimaginably grand rewards if she could annihilate it successfully.

"Good, good, good, now I'm even more motivated to send the Secret Tower to its doom, not just the Secret Tower but all criminal organizations fond of causing trouble will be brought to justice!"

Bai Fu wasn't genuinely aiming to become any Savior Saintess, but combating criminal organizations brought in rich rewards, compelling her to reluctantly engage them in battle.

Accept!

After accepting the task, Bai Fu lazily stretched, knowing she had other important matters to address.

After discovering the Secret Tower's fleet base hidden near the Sea Lion Star System and the fermenting of her article, the Star Network Community actively reached out to her, chiefly to discuss the future of Ulysses.

The Star Network too was scared.

The yet unsuccessful plans of the Secret Tower had already disquieted them, and should the Secret Tower's plans succeed, they would likely be unable to withstand its assault, given that they would have to face the fully realized Secret Tower and the Dark Domain Insect Clan aligned with the Secret Tower Master.

To stop the Secret Tower, the Star Network's Joint Conference exhausted all options.

First was the formation of an emergency committee in conjunction with civilizations of the Initial Gate Star System who shared similar concerns, to intensify the assault on the Secret Tower.

Next was the public solicitation for experts to help locate the hidden bases of the Secret Tower.

The last was to prevent at all costs the research mentioned in the article concerning the "Mysterious Object."

How to stop it?

Naturally, they targeted the desperate needs of the Ulyssians!

The Star Network feared another assault by the Secret Tower on the Ulysses Star to capture Ulyssians, thus during their communications with Bai Fu, they proposed temporarily relocating all Ulyssians within the Star Network territory for their protection.

In Bai Fu's view, this was a reasonable proposal; the Ulyssians staying on Ulysses Star faced significant risks, and even her constant vigilance might not ensure their safety.

The concern was that the Ulyssians might not accept this proposal due to their strong attachment to their homeland and their historical experiences, which made them extremely wary of other races.

After receiving the proposal from the Star Network, Bai Fu approached Vic with pessimistic expectations, yet, to her surprise, not only did Vic agree, but so did the civilians of Ulysses.

"?"

Bai Fu was baffled. When had the Ulyssians changed their nature?

"We all trust you. Since you, the Saintess, think this is a good thing, we'll move to the Star Network territory for safety. You've already sacrificed so much to save your homeland; we can't burden you with unnecessary trouble."

"Yes, Saintess, please focus on rebuilding your homeland first."

Facing those sincere expressions; Bai Fu couldn't help but be moved by these Ulyssians.

"I promise you won't be unfairly mistreated within the Star Network."

After making this promise, she relayed these developments to the Star Network, and soon after, the Star Network dispatched Manu to collect the people.

Manu was now a veteran; ever since realizing that he had a decent relationship with Bai Fu, the Star Network assigned him to handle any matters concerning her.

Indeed, not long before he had just led a team to annihilate that hidden fleet base of the Secret Tower, and without even a day's rest, the Joint Conference had dispatched him again, this time as the leader of the transport team.

The Star Network valued Bai Fu not simply because of her current reputation or popularity, but because of her significant connection with Fei Ye. They hoped to foster a good relationship with the Star Contract through Bai Fu, and if they could secure the Star Contract as their backer, they wouldn't need to fear the Secret Tower anymore.

During the handover to Manu, Bai Fu deliberately brought out Fei Ye to lend support for her and the Ulyssians.

Anyone who wouldn't take advantage of strong support would be foolish, and Bai Fu wasn't afraid of anyone accusing her of relying on others. What did it matter if she were accused of depending on others? She not only planned to continue, but to do so boldly!

"Rest assured, if anyone dares to mistreat the Ulyssians during these crucial times, you won't need to lift a finger—I'll personally break their legs and bring them right to you!"

Manu declared fiercely.

Bai Fu truly trusted Manu. He was a true patriot who acted decisively, saw far, and was unafraid of controversies. Since he dared to make such a statement, he was truly committed.

"Then we'll be in your debt."

Manu began arranging for his soldiers to escort the Ulyssians onto the transport ships.

While waiting, Bai Fu turned to Vic, "Aren't you coming along?"

Vic shook his head: "There's no point in me going. I'd rather stay by your side. I can be of some help in combat and can guide An Ya in her training."

"As you wish."

Bai Fu didn't press further.

Two days later, Manu had transported tens of thousands of Ulyssians away, and the expansive Ulysses Star suddenly became desolate.
