When You Become an NPC That Might Die Any Moment in the Novice Village-Chapter 239 - 100 Exploration Degree increase, unlocking the opportunity for Advanced Profession【5k】_3
"Reconnaissance Skill failed to judge, level too high."
"Fine, fine, let's check to see if there's anything of value nearby."
The Players rummaged through the room and found a safe in the corner, a Body Cultivation Stream Profession player went up and threw two punches, only to swell his own hands.
This safe was not one they could break into; the key issue was that it was firmly nailed to the floor, immovable.
"Let me try."
Bai Fu walked in from outside.
The Players had been here for more than ten minutes and hadn't encountered any accidents, so it seems this negative second floor truly posed no danger.
With one slice, she chopped off the entire door of the safe, then extracted a pile of paper documents.
[Meier's Journal]
[November 2: An organization calling themselves the 'Spiritual Ability Spread Committee' contacted me. They invited me to join their newly established research institute. When I hesitated, they suddenly told me that the meteorite which fell at the border of the White Tower Republic last month was actually an Alien Spaceship, which instantly piqued my interest. We have pondered countless times whether other civilizations truly exist in the vast Star Sea, and it seems we now have an answer.]
[November 4: I saw the Spaceship, and I am certain it is not something that any country or enterprise on Ancestral Origin Star could have built. It truly comes from an Alien Planet. I see a brand new era beckoning to me—I must join this new project!]
[November 5: I heard there's an Alien on board the Spaceship, pity I couldn't meet them. I've received a new task, responsible for studying a special stone slab codenamed 'Obsidian'.]
...
[November 11: A colleague forgot to wear gloves when touching the Obsidian, mutated, killed three people before being shot dead. Tomorrow we are going to dissect his body.]
[November 12: Unbelievably, my colleague's physical strength increased multiple times after mutating. The Obsidian might be the key to Evolution, but it also connects to Hell; we must be cautious!]
The journal breaks off after the 12th, but even these entries have already revealed a wealth of information.
Alien Spaceship!
This could explain why there was no Spiritual Energy on Ancestral Origin Star before, but suddenly it emerged just before the Great Battle; Spiritual Energy most likely came with that Alien Spaceship.
[You triggered a hidden storyline, 'Ancestral Origin Star Story Exploration Degree +0.7%']
[You completed the task 'Watcher's Lament' branch 5 'Searching for the Lost Artifacts', Ancestral Origin Star Story Exploration Degree +0.4%]
Bai Fu's ears rang with two prompts in succession.
Her heart was overjoyed.
So this is the reward for the main task? Her Exploration Degree jumped from 0.9% to 2.0% in one fell swoop, more than doubling—it's just too generous. Those ordinary Hidden Tasks can't even compare!

The previous few tenths of a percent in Exploration Degree had already profoundly changed her status; now that it has reached 2.0, her enhancements next time will surely be even greater!
But the 1.1% Exploration Degree wasn't the only gain from Bai Fu's operation.
She triggered a new Task.
[You have triggered a Hidden Task 'Mysteries of Obsidian' (Total Level constraint: 35)]
[Task Introduction: All work at the Spiritual Ability Research Institute Branch No. 2 revolves around a mysterious 'Obsidian', but it disappeared after the Great Catastrophe, find it!]
[Task Goal: Find 'Obsidian']
[Task Reward: 700,000 Experience Points, Rare Prayer Card Blueprints 'Spirit Blessing']
[Accept/Reject]
The item description suggests that Spirit Blessing is a Blessing-type Prayer Card, which can temporarily increase a significant amount of attributes when used, a Divine Card for the early game.
In addition to the Exploration Degree and the new task, Bai Fu also found what she was looking for on the old antique terminal beside her.
[Storage of Advanced Spiritual Ability Knowledge NCC-1773 Model Terminal]
[Quality]: Purple
[Item Description]: A common terminal in the old era, but filled with Advanced Spiritual Ability Knowledge.
[Note]: The terminal is heavily encrypted, attempting to access data or disassemble the terminal will activate a self-destruct system in one hour, non-professionals please do not touch randomly.
Bai Fu was ecstatic.
There it was, the final Spiritual Ability Knowledge Chain she had been anticipating!
As long as she mastered this Knowledge Chain, she'd be just one step away from unlocking an Advanced Profession; once she unlocked that, all the Chairmens and Generals would be nothing to her!
Bai Fu quickly scanned the note.
Self-destruct?
No matter!
The self-destruct system would activate in an hour, but she needs only twenty to thirty minutes to learn a Spiritual Ability Knowledge Chain—there's plenty of time.
[You begin reading 'The Advanced Spiritual Ability Knowledge in the NCC-1773 Model Terminal,' Intermediate Spiritual Ability Mastery takes effect, your reading speed +20%, current progress 0.1%...]
Bai Fu estimated that this time the progress bar would take a bit longer to complete than usual, but not more than 40 minutes.
Watching the progress bar slowly ascend, she felt in high spirits.
"Speaking of which, was the process of finding the fifth Spiritual Ability Knowledge Chain too easy?"
A sudden thought arose.
Before Bai Fu could curse herself for jinxing it, suddenly Players rushed in from outside, anxious and flustered.
"Not good, a massive swarm of Sandworms has suddenly emerged outside!"
Damn, I knew it wouldn't be this simple. This is a high-level map. It would be strange if there wasn't any danger.
Bai Fu couldn't extricate herself now, she could only throw down all her task limits for the day to issue a new Camp Task to the Players.
[Buy Time]
[Task Introduction:...]
[Task Goal: Stop the Sandworms from entering the room where Bai Fu is located]
[Task Reward: Depends on Contribution]
A wealth of Experience, Bai Fu's Affinity, Prayer Cards, Camp Reputation...
When these rewards were presented, all the players on-site fell into Fervor.
[Defend Fufu!]
[To lay a finger on Fufu, you'll have to step over my dead body!]
[As long as Fu stands, so do we!]
