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

But Ulysses Star had become deserted, Bai Fu, on the other hand, became even busier.

She received deliveries every day, from various trading centers, online shopping platforms, and even from Star Contract Headquarters.

Recently, she had purchased large quantities of drugs and items that could increase intelligence and spirit, and the issue of Voidification needed to be resolved quickly; she was not in a hurry, but it was different for Fei Ye.

On the one hand, Fei Ye's progress of Voidification had already exceeded 50%, reaching the level where it had to be taken seriously. On the other hand, Voidification had always been Fei Ye's inner demon; if this wasn't handled soon, despite Fei Ye's giggling face, there was no telling when it might culminate in depression.

"Come on, open up!"

After a series of operations, Bai Fu successfully increased her intelligence by 31 points and her spirit by 42 points, Fei Ye gained a little less, but not by much.

The cost, well, the cost was another 1.2 million Credit Points.

These drugs and items were not cheap, some of them, due to serious side effects, Bai Fu dared not use recklessly and could only store them to resell at a low price to those fearless players later on.

"How about now, what's the compatibility rate of the Prophet?"

Fei Ye stared anxiously at Bai Fu, due to her inner unease, her ten toes curled up into a ball, gripping the ground tightly, displaying a paper-like pallor.

Bai Fu smiled and said, "Don't worry, your compatibility rate has now increased to 42%, while mine has gone up to 51%. As long as we maintain this rate of increase, it won't be long before we both reach the safety line, and then neither you nor I will transform into weird-looking monsters."

"That's great!"

An excited Fei Ye embraced Bai Fu and heartily patted her on the back.

The others in the room also showed expressions of joy; Julia led the applause, An Ya, although she disliked Fei Ye always taking advantage of Bai Fu, still started clapping when hearing that Bai Fu wouldn't turn into a monster.

Awesome, the boss is okay, and that's what matters!

The least willing of them had to be Cecilia, but as an actress, she knew very well that no matter how reluctant she was, she had to play her part.

Having calmed Fei Ye, Bai Fu suddenly received a message from Green Mud from the Initial Gate Star System Combat Department.

There were two pieces of news.

One was that the professionals at Star Contract were already calculating the exact location of the Newbie Planets where the players were situated; it shouldn't take much time.

The second was that recently, Herbert had been making surreptitious movements. Although he hadn't directly troubled Fei Ye, he had been secretly contacting players, trying to undermine them.

"Undermining?"

Tch.

Did a mere Herbert actually think he could compete with her, who in the eyes of the players was [Bai·Dark Domain Saintess·Ghost Night Dominator·Sea Lion Star System Main Character·Charming Demon Sage·Fu]?

Bai Fu was one hundred percent confident that no player would be seduced away by Herbert, but it still annoyed her that Herbert was sneaking around contacting players like a pesky fly.

"Why not..."

Bai Fu suddenly thought of "King of Spies," Master Tai'er.

Decided. She would have Master Tai'er take a group of players to pretend they were swayed and recruited by Herbert. This way, she could effectively avoid the nuisance of Herbert coming around like a fly and also gather intelligence about Herbert through them, just so Herbert wouldn't suddenly devise some sneaky tactic to deal with Fei Ye.

"I'll handle it, no need to worry. There's no need to inform Director Fei Ye about this."

After briefing Green Mud, Bai Fu quickly contacted Master Tai'er and went through her plan with him.

Master Tai'er promptly agreed. Of course, he would accept such an interesting task. Honestly grinding mobs and quests were not as exciting as being a spy, plus, this was a wave of newfound popularity.

"Guaranteed to complete the task!"

"You've worked hard."

Bai Fu smiled as she sent Master Tai'er off.

With her meddling, the attention of various powers had now shifted away from her and Fei Ye. Moreover, since the location of the Newbie Planet had not yet been calculated, she was temporarily able to relax.

"I can't waste this time, I need to make good use of it to enhance my power."

Bai Fu first thought of Julia.

Good, it was time to find Julia for Magic Refilling, to quickly stack up the layers of the "Apostle's Heart", as long as she successfully built up seven layers, her power could increase several times over.

Bai Fu knocked on the door of Julia's laboratory.

"What do you need?"

"Magic Refilling."

"Huh?"

Julia was stunned.

Usually, it was she who took the initiative to ask Bai Fu for experiments, so why had Bai Fu suddenly taken the initiative this time?

Never mind, it was better when someone took initiative, the gains from experiments were greater this way, it was pointless if she was always the only one initiating.

She pulled Bai Fu inside.

"Wait, I meant serious Magic Refilling, not..."

Bang!

The loud noise of the door closing completely drowned out Bai Fu's words.

Cecilia, standing not far away, frowned and quickly walked to the outside of the laboratory, trying to eavesdrop on what Bai Fu and Julia were doing. But the soundproofing of the laboratory was so good, and she dared not use her own abilities for fear of being discovered, that after listening for a long time she heard nothing, leaving her to imagine on her own.

Magic Refilling?

It seemed to be a term related to magic, but neither Bai Fu nor Julia were Wizards; could it be some kind of game? Judging by their demeanour, it should be a fun game, but did they really feel like playing games at a time like this?

No matter how hard Cecilia racked her brains, she couldn't figure out what Magic Refilling meant, and the more she thought about it, the more agitated she became, the more her mind was filled with the things she had seen and heard these days.

She saw Bai Fu and Julia, An Ya, Fei Ye, and Xia Shi having a great time together.

She saw Bai Fu being respected by the Ulyssians.

She saw Bai Fu being praised by the people on the Star Network.

Such radiance, such confidence and composure.

She once thought about doing good deeds to win the love of others, but her power came from a spider monster that parasitized her body, and she couldn't fully control this power. After accidentally killing someone when her power went out of control, she realized that she could only ever hope for all this, yet she could never truly attain it.

She could only feel that the merriment of Bai Fu and the others was nothing but noise.

If possible, of course, she too would have liked to embrace Bai Fu like Fei Ye, to perform Magic Refilling with Bai Fu like Julia...

But now, this unattainable desire had turned completely into envy, an envy that wanted to destroy everything.

"I want to eat you, to consume you just like a monster would!"

Cecilia waited until Bai Fu emerged from Julia's laboratory, her face pale, and immediately stopped her.

"I'm sorry, there's something I've been hiding from you. After staying on Ulysses Star for so long, I've been deeply moved, and I feel I shouldn't hide it anymore."

"Huh?" Bai Fu was taken aback, "What is it?"

Cecilia said, "Let's talk where there's no one around."

Bai Fu nodded, "Then let's go to my room."

The two headed to Bai Fu's room, one after the other.
