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

Bai Fu's plan was going exceedingly well. While Digging Girl and Dragon of Catastrophe were still complaining, she pretended to be oblivious as she crashed the live broadcast. Thirsty, she exclaimed, grabbing a few sips of the drink that Dragon of Catastrophe had pulled out.

"Um, this taste quite suits me—where did you buy this drink?"

When a super high-fidelity game combined with a popular in-game NPC drinking a real-world beverage, it became a classic advertisement.

Is it really possible to advertise like this?

The recorded live broadcast instantly attracted a huge audience who, after watching the video, shared it, making it go viral even faster.

[Fufu has truly become a cyber idol now.]

[I wish Fufu would perform singing, dancing, rapping, and playing basketball; many big shots have done similar MMDs, but I still want to see Fufu do it herself.]

In the community, players from Ancestral Origin Star were discussing joyously.

Dragon of Catastrophe's father, who had gained a swell of exposure, immediately realized this was a golden opportunity. Since Bai Fu liked their drink, why not set up a beverage factory in the game as well?

They decided to list the factory under Bai Fu's name, giving most of the profits to her. After all, Game Coins meant nothing to him; he was only interested in the advertising effect that Bai Fu could generate.

Bai Fu naturally wouldn't refuse such a collaboration. Without lifting a finger and just showing her face, she could pocket most of the profits, and afterwards, players would still praise her for being gorgeous and sincere. Even a captain of the slave trade would tear up at her ease—

Damn, even cyber welfare queens don't earn money as easily as you; at least they seriously think about how to pose to draw more attention.

"There, that's the power of fame."

Bai Fu was very satisfied and increasingly glad that she hadn't impulsively decided to become a cyber welfare queen at the start.

With Dragon of Catastrophe as a classic example, there would surely be more players seeking cooperation with her in the future. Coupled with her laboriously crafted Silent Court, her secret garden was officially taking shape. From now on, she just needed to continually enhance her engagement in the storyline, fame, and so forth to expand the scale of her secret garden.

Short of money, short of experience?

Just dig forcefully in her own secret garden—that would solve everything. If she couldn't dig something out, she would scrape it out, roots and all; she didn't believe she couldn't unearth good things.

"This is my base for survival in Star Sea."

In the bathtub filled with water, Bai Fu excitedly kicked her feet.

After toiling on tasks for half a day with aching back and sore legs, looking disheveled just to gather enough experience to level up—exploiting players was different. She just had to strike a few poses, and players would excitedly transmit the hard-earned experience they had saved to her. A single player's experience was minor, but when a crowd of players came together, that amount was truly enough to drown someone. It was a no-brainer which was more thrilling.

Bai Fu looked up at the clock on the wall. As the second hand moved past the number twelve, she heard the pleasant notification sound for the third time.

[Participation in storyline confirmation (0%...10%...)]

[Current storyline exploration degree on Ancestral Origin Star: 13.4%]

[Character positioning correction (0%...2%...)]

[Character positioning correction from [Ancestral Origin Star Single Main Storyline Main Character] to [Ancestral Origin Star Legendary Main Character]]

[Character setting correction (0%...2%...)]

"Here it comes!"

Bai Fu suddenly stood up.

She had been longing for this moment. Even though the detailed content hadn't finished loading yet, just glimpsing "Legendary Main Character" set her emotions surging towards a climax.

This description must be much cooler than the so-called sole God of a star, right?

Minutes later, the character setting correction reached 100%. Bai Fu quickly clicked on the newly appeared notification.

[Correction 1: Your life strength and Spiritual Energy fusion degree have surpassed the Evolution Critical Point; you've received an opportunity for Racial Evolution]

[1. Ancient Humans of Rebirth Empire]

[2. Titan Subspecies]

[3. Star Prayer People]

"Starting off with big options!"

Bai Fu's eyes sparkled; having evolved twice before, she knew very well that evolution would significantly boost her power.

She quickly scanned the brief descriptions of the three races.

Ancient Humans of Rebirth Empire is the most common evolutionary direction for Adaptive Star, with no remarkable strengths or weaknesses, belonging to the balanced doctrine.

Titan Subspecies are the most common race within the Titan Industry Force, significantly enhanced in endurance and power, likely to be the favorite of those in the Body Cultivation Stream. It's worth noting that after evolving into a Titan Subspecies, even someone at grade A has a high chance of evolving to grade 2B under the influence of Racial Talents.

Star Prayer People benefit from enhancements in Spiritual Energy, matching Bai Fu's current alignment the best.

Since she planned to follow the Spiritual Energy route, Bai Fu decisively chose Star Prayer People. Matching race and profession is crucial; messing it up could result in a 50% loss in combat ability.

[Racial Evolution in progress...you have completed genetic optimization, your race has changed to Star Prayer People]

[Race change completed, you receive attribute corrections—

Power +11, Agility +11, Constitution +6, Intelligence +10, Spirit +9, Inspiration +18]

[You obtain Racial Traits bonuses—

1. Each level up grants an additional point of Inspiration.

2. Each point of Constitution transfers +5 to Life Value, and each point of Inspiration transfers +5 to Spiritual Ability Value.

3. Abnormal Resistance +5%, Spiritual Ability Damage Reduction Rate +5%]

The moment the notification sounded, Bai Fu felt a surge of intense pain emanate from deep within her body, mixed intermittently with sensations of tingling and itching. Clutching the edge of the bathtub while drenched in sweat, she was grateful that she had gotten into the tub beforehand. Otherwise, her clothes, socks, and sheets would all be sticky and hard to clean.
