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

Bai Fu's power might not have been considered top-notch in the Sea Lion Star System, but it certainly placed her within the first rank.

She couldn't beat Fei Ye and Night Mother, but lose to a bunch of pirates lurking in the Sea Lion Star System?

She immediately called over all the players present and shared the hidden main task she had just received with them.

"Wow, a main task?"

The players brightened up at receiving the task; they had thought that uncovering the true identity of the Avalanche Pirate Group would signify a perfect completion of their mission. Little had they known that such a surprise lay hidden behind it!

In fact, Bai Fu alone was more than capable of dealing with those pirates. She had two main reasons for involving the players.

The first, naturally, was to advertise herself.

Her popularity was already high, but no matter how popular, one shouldn't skimp on publicity.

Hadn't players speculated whether she was still the main character upon arriving in the Star Sea? Now that she shared the task, even those who disliked her might have to admit that indeed seemed to be the case.

There was no denying it. Players could never dream that she would share her special tasks with others like an ordinary player, and they could only assume that she was issuing the hidden main task, reinforcing the notion that she was the main character.

"I am the main character, I am adorable, come join me already, you jerks!"

The second reason was to have a safety net for herself.

Bai Fu was well aware that she could easily thrash most of the pirates in the Initial Gate Star System Group, but that didn't guarantee the completion of her task. If those pirates destroyed all the relevant information in an emergency before she could act, it would make completing the task quite difficult.

To ensure a smooth completion, she needed the help of the players.

"You guys just do this and that later on..."

Bai Fu quietly shared her plan with the players.

Those who received the task nodded incessantly; they liked to cause trouble on normal days, but when it came to the main task, they were incredibly earnest. Bai Fu had made it clear that the development of the main storyline and their future gaming experience were closely linked. With their gaming experience on the line, they dare not mess around.

After briefing the players, Bai Fu approached the people from the Blessing Sect, hoping they would leave the remaining pirates to her.

"What do you plan to do with them?" Elon asked.

Without concealing much, Bai Fu said, "Make them lead me to their lair, so I can completely exterminate the pirate group behind them."

Suixi's gaze flickered as she thought to herself—

"Do-gooder."

She didn't actually dislike do-gooders; she just found this kind of do-gooder both dull and foolish.

The Initial Gate Star System Group had so many pirate groups and pirates. Could you kill them one by one?

The world's evils needed judgment, but such bloody judgments would only treat the symptoms, not the root cause.

To eradicate maladies like pirates once and for all, seeking help from higher powers, such as the Void Realm Envoys, was necessary to change the world from its rules and leave no space for these troubles to thrive!

Of course, Suixi had no intention of sharing her views with Bai Fu. As usual, she had no interest in these ordinary and mundane people. What truly attracted her was the exclusive Supreme Heavenly Void Realm for Spiritual Ability Superpower Users, along with everything within the Void Realm.

Suddenly, Elon spoke up, "You're going to their lair? Good, we're headed the same way."

Bai Fu paused, "Why are you going to these pirates' lair?"

Elon managed a wry smile, "We just used a special method of hypnosis on our target. To our surprise, even in a state of hypnosis, he revealed nothing. We've never encountered such a situation before. Since we can't extract any useful information for a while, we'll have to visit where he was hiding earlier."

Of course you wouldn't get any useful information from someone who wasn't a Shattered Star.

Bai Fu couldn't help but make a mental note of that.

"Then let's go together."

Since the task involved the Ulyssians, she speculated that the Trolla Pirate Group that traded with the Avalanche Pirate Group must be related to the Dissociative Potion, which in turn was connected to the Secret Tower. By accompanying the Blessing Sect, if troubles arose later, she could rely on them to share some of the burdens.

Having made up her mind, Bai Fu and the people from the Blessing Sect boarded the spaceship and headed straight for the lair of the Trolla Pirate Group.

Their "lair" turned out to be a decommissioned large mining ship.

The leader of the Trolla Pirate Group, Trolla, had extensively modified these decommissioned mining ships after acquiring them, turning them into his mobile base. The mining ships usually operated in a "Constant Star Graveyard" within the Sea Corner Arm.

There were over 100 million stars in this graveyard, most of them neutron stars, and a few small black holes. The Trolla Pirate Group chose this spot because the environment was extremely harsh. Even if someone came to trouble them, they could still escape in the confusion thanks to their familiarity with the terrain.

But this tactic was useless against Bai Fu.

"We have reached the edge of the graveyard."

Digging Girl turned her head toward Bai Fu.

Bai Fu nodded and commanded, "Then let's start."

Digging Girl hurriedly relayed the orders to the players guarding the captured pirates through the team channel.

"Wait for our good news!"

The players receiving the orders sprang into action, deliberately acting nonchalant and lax in their guard duties.

Most pirates, even if they noticed the lax surveillance, remained inactive. However, a few pirates of not-so-ordinary identity began to think lively thoughts.
