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

Cecilia, to most people at Stone Crystal Company, the name was extremely unfamiliar.

The name in itself was not that rare, but among the main clientele of Stone Crystal Company, no one went by this name.

Therefore, when Cecilia, dressed in a hip-wrapped mini dress, wearing a black lace wide-brimmed hat and black lace gloves, and styled with the distinctive flair of the Rebirth Empire, appeared at the front desk of Stone Crystal Company and claimed she was their most important client, the receptionist was utterly baffled.

Who?

"Miss, we..."

Cecilia extended her hand, her fingertips gently gliding across the receptionist's cheek.

"You needn't have any doubts, just inform your company's board of my arrival."

The chill from her fingertips spread rapidly; the receptionist's body shuddered, and in that moment, her mind slipped into a haze, with only one thought remaining—

Cecilia is the sky, and I must heed her words!

Thus, she took a step forward, pressed the call button at the front desk, and relayed the news of Cecilia's arrival.

Several minutes later.

In the Stone Crystal Company boardroom, everyone dared not even breathe, nervously watching the woman sitting at the head of the table with her legs crossed.

This woman bore a face unfamiliar to them, but faces were unimportant; one of the Night Mother's greatest traits was her ability to freely alter her appearance, sourced from her precise control over life and flesh.

After what felt like a long time, the chairman of Stone Crystal Company, Smor, tentatively inquired.

"What instructions does the Housekeeper have for us this time?"

Stone Crystal Company had grown into one of the most renowned security companies in the Sea Lion Star System, and Secret Tower had played no small part behind the scenes, so Smor dared not defy the will of Secret Tower.

Cecilia tossed out the plan provided by the Housekeeper: "I've come to the Sea Lion Star System to retrieve the maternal lineage lost by Singularity Company, and incidentally to complete a few small tasks."

Smor caught the plans and quickly glanced over them: "The maternal lineage likely currently in Bai Fu's possession?"

Cecilia nodded lightly.

Smor frowned slightly: "Something I haven't yet reported is that the True Spirit Pillar lost over a hundred years ago might have returned, and it seems to be somewhat connected to Bai Fu."

He hurriedly recounted everything—about Shattered Star's return to the Sea Lion Star System, claiming vengeance, and the people from the Blessing Sect finding Bai Fu, hoping that Bai Fu would let her Undying People help investigate Shattered Star's movements—to Cecilia.

"Hmm?"

Cecilia lowered her right leg and sat up straight.

Just then, a plan flashed through her mind; if successful, she would not only be able to reclaim the True Spirit Pillar and the maternal lineage but also viciously exact revenge on Bai Fu and Fei Ye in a cruelly efficient way.

"Send Bai Fu an assignment invitation, asking her to help us find Shattered Star."

Smor paused: "With Bai Fu's upright and stern character, once she agrees to work with the Blessing Sect, I fear she will refuse to engage with tasks that conflict with the Sect."

Cecilia propped up her right cheek: "Who knows if she will truly refuse? Besides, it doesn't matter if she doesn't agree. With this excuse, it's better for me to approach her with this new face."

Integrity?

That's exactly the taste she was after.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have approached Bai Fu in this manner.

Smor nodded, somewhat understanding, somewhat not; the Night Mother had said enough, and as a mere subordinate, he just needed to follow through.

...

At the same time.

On a barren planet near Ulysses Star.

Two spaceships were successively parked beside the fiery red molten rock surface. In the central clearing between the two spaceships, Bai Fu met with the representatives sent by the Blessing Sect.

There were eleven of them in total.

The leading man and woman were dressed distinctly from the others.

White over-the-knee robes with wide sleeves and gold-trimmed edges, an X-shaped gold pendant around the neck, and three small golden light beams floating behind their heads. The man wore pants and tall boots with gaiters, while the woman had cream-colored stockings that vanished into her robe, with the exact style unclear, and her shoes were black leather with gold rivets.

This was Bai Fu's first encounter with these two, but she knew their names and positions after researching a great deal of relevant information on the internet as she awaited the Blessing Sect's arrival.

The man was the Saint Heir Elon, a Vertical Pupils Subhuman, and the woman was the Holy Band Leader Suixi, from the Tide People, her skin a very clear, slightly pale blue color almost like water, giving her an ethereal and sprite-like appearance.

They both held high positions within the Blessing Sect, and Bai Fu had not expected them to personally lead the team to discuss the assignment; what was more unexpected for Bai Fu was that, when she used her Spiritual Vision on Elon and Suixi, she discovered that they both possessed the Talent Strong Luck.

Based on her experiences on Ancestral Origin Star and her recent forum prowling, she was more than 95% sure that NPCs with this Talent were "Main Characters" in some crucial stories.

Good heavens.

It was surprising enough to encounter Main Characters by chance, but to meet two at the same time!

She wondered whether these two were like Platt, hidden Main Characters in major plots, or like Xia Shi, directly accessible to Players in the main storylines.

As Bai Fu mused secretly, the Players who followed her to witness the event, as well as those watching in the live stream, all let out exclamations of surprise.
