When You Become an NPC That Might Die Any Moment in the Novice Village-Chapter 253 - 107 Burst Main Character Gold Coins, Power Fully Enhanced [1/2]

"You're slightly stronger than the Rattlesnake I killed when I first arrived at the Goli Desert, but only slightly so. Back then, I could withstand the Rattlesnake's Spirit Impact, and now... to think that such an attack could put me into a Dizziness state is quite fanciful."

Bai Fu increased her strength.

She didn't care about Platt's identity.

The official website had already said that the main features of Stars Above were freedom and autonomous storyline advancement. Players could do as they wished, and it wasn't just the main character of a hidden main task, even the destined individuals of an entire planet could be taken down. Her gradual upgrade from a passerby to a regional boss proved that the autonomous storyline advancement promised by the official site was real.

Kill and be done with it.

Platt, enduring the intense pain, rolled backward, intending to flee, but saw a pair of feet appear in front of him. He suddenly looked up and found that the owner of these feet was a woman who looked exactly like Bai Fu.

"You…"

Without any words, Black Fu punched Platt on the forehead.

Platt was sent flying backward, and when he landed, a blade flickering with electric light fell from the sky, stabbing straight into his heart.

"I can't die, I cannot… Ah!"

-37, -12, -49!

A lethal black damage floated up, Platt's body twitched a few times, and then he was completely silent.

Bai Fu slowly sheathed her knife, and two game notifications sounded in her ear.

[You have killed Platt, Contribution 100%. After adjustment based on Level difference, you have gained 200,000 Experience Points]

[You have completed the Hidden Task [Just a Vain Dream]]

The first notification made Bai Fu's eyes shine bright.

A typical Level 31 monster would give her vastly 100,000 Experience, but Platt had given her a full 200,000 Experience, worthy of an NPC with the Strong Luck Talent. The reward for that hidden task must also be high.

She opened the task description, and sure enough, because Platt was still growing, the base Experience reward from the task was only 500,000, but the additional rewards couldn't just be described as generous.

She obtained a new Talent [Immunity to Instant Death], a special Title [Life Hunter], and a Rare Skill [Spiritual Explosion].

Immunity to Instant Death Talent was easy to understand; having this Talent would prevent Bai Fu from being taken out instantly no matter how high the opponent's output. Even if one hit could take away several tubes of her Blood Volume, her Life Value would forcibly retain 5% upon the first hit.

This Talent was literally a lifesaving Divine Skill, and with it, she could proudly claim that she was now an upper-grade boss, as opposed to those wild bosses she had taken down, which were just higher levels without many special attributes.

The Title Life Hunter was no ordinary title; it would give Bai Fu a +5% chance of successful judgments.

For Bai Fu, who made a living by card-making, the effect of this Title combined with the Luck Talent would increase her card-making success rate by 15%, which was extremely remarkable.

As for the Rare Skill [Spiritual Explosion], it was a fine thing too. It was a close-range active attack skill, which could concentrate Spiritual Energy in the hands and release it in the form of a shockwave. It would consume 50 Spiritual Energy points per second and inflict (50+Inspiration*0.5) Spiritual Energy damage to the target directly in front, with a cooldown of 1 second.

The damage coefficient bonus of Spiritual Explosion was far less than Otherworldly Erosion and Little Bai Fu, but its advantage lay in its ability to be used continuously.

Bai Fu's current Spiritual Energy limit was 1080, and her Inspiration was 105, which meant that if she put in full effort, she could deal over 2100 points of Spiritual Energy damage in 21 seconds, which was akin to wielding a spell-casting flamethrower.

Of course, since opponents all have a certain Energy Resistance and won't stupidly stand still to be hit, it was very unlikely that she could take out a formidable enemy with a succession of Spiritual Explosions.

But if she couldn't hold her ground for 21 seconds, she could have Black Fu immobilize their opponent with Combat Etiquette and then fill them with Spiritual Explosion for 2 seconds. Two consecutive seconds of bombardment with shockwaves would be enough to stack five layers of the Otherworldly Erosion buff.

Calculating this way, her combination move would at least deal damage equal to 15% of the opponent's maximum Life Value + 310 pure panel damage (not considering Resistance reductions).

Oh, if the opponent could resist the control of Combat Etiquette, then the combination move would be for naught.

But no matter what, with the Spiritual Explosion Skill, her and Black Fu's, especially Black Fu's, combat power would increase significantly.

"The Gold Coins have exploded..."

Looking at Platt's corpse lying on the ground, Bai Fu couldn't help but want to light incense for him.

"You said it right, buddy. Delusional Saviors is a hidden mainline task in the game 'Stars Above'. The story happens on the Newbie Planet, Ancestral Origin Star. Next, I'll play your original role, use tasks to guide players, and together with the players defeat formidable enemies, gradually uncovering the truth behind the Great Catastrophe of Ancestral Origin Star!"

Bai Fu threw Platt's corpse into a pile of sandworms. Once the sandworms had nibbled Platt down to his skeleton, she drove them away and buried the skeleton deep in the desert.

"Now no one knows where he went."

Bai Fu brushed the fine sand from her hands contentedly.

If the players knew she had taken out Platt, they would probably praise her and give her a little red flower.

After all, she indirectly improved the players' gaming experience. Just like releasing a main task, she only wanted the players' money, while Platt wanted to toy with the players' sense of justice.

"Let's go, head back."

Bai Fu called out to Black Fu.

Having accomplished her goal, she returned to the research institute as if nothing had happened and opened her attribute panel. After killing Platt, she now had a total of 1.22 million experience, which was enough for her to level up again.

She invested the experience, raising her Apprentice Spiritual Artist level to Lv18. After leveling up, due to the bonus from the Spiritual Energy attribute, she automatically gained 1 point in Constitution, reaching 89 points. Even without the attribute bonus brought by Black Fu, her Life Value limit officially broke through the 2,000 mark, reaching 2010 points, and when Black Fu was deployed on the field, she would have an extra 60 points of Life Value.

"With enough constitution, a substitute, control, reconnaissance, percentage-based damage, nearby proactive attack skills, now all I lack is a stable long-range attack method, and then I'll essentially have no weaknesses."

Considering the content of the upcoming hidden main task involved the Truth Society, the Old Republic, and Genetic Primordial, Bai Fu decided to cover this last shortcoming.

She purposely took a shower and then huffed and puffed several times at her hands before starting her gamble on cards based on appearance.

With 620,000 experience points left, even if she was extremely unlucky, she should still be able to synthesize a practical long-range attack Prayer Card, right?

"My turn, draw a card!"

[Synthesis Failed]

[Synthesis Failed]

Because Bai Fu had placed very strict restrictions on the type of Prayer Cards, the failure notification sounded over twenty times before she finally received a successful prompt.

This was an investment of over 200,000 experience, but the result was gratifying.

The Prayer Card Penetrating Gun could attack targets up to 2,000 units away, with a range comparable to a Sniper Rifle, and the damage was also considerable. Depending on the remaining Spiritual Energy, it could deal 50-100 points of basic Spiritual Energy damage. The only issue was that this Prayer Card had a high production cost.

But for Bai Fu, who had nearly 1,500 players in her chives field, this was hardly a problem.

That settles it.

...

The next day, news of Platt's disappearance spread.

Bai Fu walked out of the research institute in silence, with players and members of the Holy Spirit Sect following her, expressions grave.

They walked under the scorching sun towards the west until they finally arrived at the "Monster Cage."

The good news was that the Holy Relic was still there, but the bad news was the white-robed people of the Holy Spirit Sect found signs of battle left by sandworms along the way.

They had a bad hunch. Platt might have sneaked out of the institute alone last night, aiming to steal the Holy Relic, but his luck was probably not very good, as he encountered an attack by sandworms halfway.

"Can someone tell me what's going on here?"

Bai Fu came forward with an initial complaint, staring fixedly at the white-robed people, her beautiful eyes filled with chill.

"This..."

Not a single white-robed person dared to speak first. It was Fried Fish Essence who came forward to break the silence.

"I've long felt that Platt was up to no good. He must have tried to steal Fu Fu's Obsidian Fragment but got taken out by sandworms instead."

The white-robed people all lowered their heads in shame.

They were panicked now. With Platt's actions, Bai Fu's Affinity toward the Holy Spirit Sect was likely to turn into hostility. How could they borrow the Holy Relic to save the sick in their camp now?

They will die, those sick people will die!

A white-robed person anxiously raised his head: "We never expected Platt to do such a thing. It's pointless to make excuses now, and I know you're filled with dissatisfaction towards us, but the people in the camp are innocent. If you're willing to help save the sick in the camp, you can ask me to do anything. I will give you my money, although it's not much, I will find a way to earn more and give it all to you."

The other white-robed people quickly followed suit, indicating they too were willing to sell themselves to pay the debt.

Bai Fu looked at them for a long time, then finally sighed deeply, "Whether to sell yourselves is another matter. I need to visit your camp first to confirm the situation before deciding whether to save you."

She had to visit the Holy Spirit Sect anyway, as there was still an Obsidian Fragment there. As for saving people, she could just let the players do it. Lately, the players of the Silent Court were finding daily commission and extermination tasks a bit tedious, weren't they? Well, she would give them something fresh!

Hearing Bai Fu say this, the white-robed people were nearly moved to tears, thanking Bai Fu profusely while cursing Platt in their hearts for his disgraceful behavior at a critical moment.

The players watching the scene were also moved.

[This is Fu Fu, the Female Bodhisattva who saves from suffering and hardship!]
