Chapter 590: 206 Star Sea Enchantress back online, unlock Transferring Professions Task 【5.9k】_3
So it turns out, Bai Fu gradually understood everything.
Before, she had been wondering why the Superpower Evolution Tree Diagram and True Spirit Pillar, unlike the Punishment Needle, didn't just drift from the Initial Gate Star System to the Newbie Planet. So after Version 2.0 arrived, how would the players on Golden Valley Star travel to the Star Sea to unlock the true Star Sea version?
Now, she seemed to have a clue.
Based on her guess, upon the arrival of Version 2.0, the seal on the hidden map [Superpower Well] would be unlocked due to some special reason, after which the players of Golden Valley Star could use this portal to travel to the Star Sea.
Bai Fu shared her discovery with Cessia, who suddenly saw the light. No longer dwelling on this matter, after marking five points on the map, she sent Bai Fu the map along with the information she knew about the Secret Tower base and the whereabouts of its members.
"I'm not sure if these five places have a mother copy, but judging from all the movements, the probability is high."
Bai Fu nodded upon receiving the information, getting ready to contact Manu when her eyes suddenly shifted.
Right now, the people from Secret Tower probably hadn't yet reported Cessia's betrayal to the Housekeeper of Secret Tower. With that in mind, she might be able to seize this opportunity to gain something.
"Cessia, can you log into the data repository of Secret Tower?"
"The data repository? What do you want from it?"
"Advanced Knowledge, any kind of Advanced Knowledge will do, but S+ class Spiritual Ability System Advanced Knowledge would be even better!"
"I'm not sure if I still have access, but I will try."
Cessia attempted to link to the data repository of Secret Tower.
Bai Fu did not rush her, instead, she quietly waited by her side.
After about ten minutes, the virtual screen in front of Cessia suddenly flashed red.
"My access has been blocked, seems like the Housekeeper knows about my betrayal now. However, I managed to download quite a bit before it was blocked. Take a look."
Saying so, she transferred all the data to Bai Fu, which contained just the Advanced Knowledge Bai Fu needed.
Without a word, Bai Fu immediately started learning.
Watching the progress of the learning slowly increase, she was overjoyed and rushed forward, hugging Cessia tightly.
"Thank you, this Advanced Knowledge couldn't have come at a better time!"
"It's just a trade; you... really don't need to be so polite."
Cessia suddenly felt somewhat uncomfortable with Bai Fu's affectionate gestures, starting to look around unconsciously, her body as tense as if she had been standing in a cold storage for a long time.
Bai Fu purposefully hugged her for a long time until Cessia's legs started to go numb before letting go, knowing well that giving positive reinforcement at the right time is critical!
"You could try using some Dissociative Potions; they can help you suppress the spiders somewhat."
She stuffed dozens of Dissociative Potions into Cessia's hands.
"Just wait a moment; I need to tell Manu and the others what has happened here."
"Wait!"
Just as Bai Fu was about to take action, Cessia stopped her.
Hm?
"I'm not interested in meeting them. Let's exchange contact information. Later, I'll tell you the location for the handover, just send the Undying People there. Not too many, a hundred of them will do."
"If you say so, sure."
Bai Fu didn't insist. She and Cessia exchanged communicator codes and then watched as Cessia disappeared like black smoke.
Cessia left in such a hurry partly because she truly did not want to meet with Manu and the others, and partly because she felt herself losing control and wanting to imprison Bai Fu.
She didn't think it was her fault—if there was anyone to blame, it was Bai Fu for having a face that was just too tempting to bully.
After Cessia had completely disappeared, Julia emerged from Bai Fu's body, as stoic as ever as if she had seen nothing, but her words were quite sharp.
"Is it an extra good sister or a good little sister this time?"
Bai Fu rolled her eyes.
Julia said, "I have no objection to you contacting Cessia. The better your relationship with her, the more chance I have to study her. I am very interested in her abilities. If you need, I can help you bridge the gap anytime."
"Enough of that, let's deal with important matters first."
Bai Fu quickly contacted Manu.
Manu was still dealing with the Secret Tower, but upon receiving the message, he immediately came over with others.
"You persuaded the Night Mother?"
Even Manu, who thought he knew Bai Fu very well, couldn't help but widen his eyes, not to mention how astonished Heart Flow Blade and Mechanical Warrior Quinn and others were.
Night Mother Cecilia, she is one of the Secret Tower's ace forces!
After a few encounters with Bai Fu, she decisively betrayed the Secret Tower for Bai Fu's sake. What kind of Charming Demon is Bai Fu?
Bai Fu sent the intelligence she got from Cecilia to Manu with an expressionless face, "We're short on time. Hurry up and contact the Joint Conference. If we're too late, the Secret Tower might have already evacuated everyone from the base."
Manu gazed deeply at Bai Fu, then immediately did as she said.
While the Tidal Civilization, Heavenly Eye Alliance, and Caster Civilization were convening an emergency meeting on the Star Network, Bai Fu returned to Golden Valley Star. She had another important matter to attend to – planting players as spies inside the Secret Tower.
After Foster's death, the command structure at the Secret Tower was in complete disarray, a sense of hopelessness pervading everywhere. They had no inclination to capture players.
But if they didn't actively capture players, Bai Fu could just send them over willingly. She directed a selected group of players to launch an assault on the Secret Tower.
The first assault saw these players annihilated.
During the second charge, they made contact with the Housekeeper, who calmed the survivors of the Secret Tower down for the moment. They didn't kill the players rushing over again but locked them all in the spaceship's cargo hold.
"Phew – that wraps it up nicely."
Bai Fu breathed a sigh of relief.
What she had to do next was simple, just one word –
Wait!
Twenty minutes later, the meeting convened by the four civilizations ended. They urgently assembled several fleets to verify the validity of the intelligence Cecilia had disclosed.
Ten minutes after that, Bai Fu received a notification that her study of new Advanced Knowledge was complete and, at the moment the notification rang, she received a prompt for her Transferring Professions Task to be triggered.
[You have unlocked the Profession Advancement Task [Final Transfer]]
[Branch 1: Warrior Glory – Accumulate 1000 Combat Points]
[Branch 2: Transcendent Path – Collect one [Red] Quality Rare Prayer Card Blueprint]
[Branch 3: Spiritual Ability Expert – Collect an additional piece of Spiritual Energy Advanced Knowledge]
[Task Reward: 20 million Experience Points, Random Talent or Passive Skills*1, Transfer Qualifications]
"Finally triggered the Transferring Professions Task!"
Bai Fu's hands trembled with excitement. If Cecilia was in front of her now, she would have given her a big mua (kiss).
"Next, I should be able to complete the Warrior Glory task by collecting a Dissociative Potion culture. Even if I can't complete it, I can gamble with cards. I have over 1.5 billion Experience Points. I refuse to believe I can't combine them into a Red Card!"
Bai Fu giggled to herself.
After about another ten minutes, she received a message from Manu. The United Fleet assembled by civilizations like the Star Network had arrived near Golden Valley Star.
"Good, it's time to wrap this up."
Bai Fu glanced at the Golden Valley Star Defense Battle task. This round, she estimated she'd rake in a lot of Experience.
However, what she cared about even more was the reward for the task [Emergent Superpower Evolution Tree Diagram].
Previously, she had recorded Onandi's Superpower. Now, she still needed two more Superpowers to unlock a new ability on the Superpower Evolution Tree Diagram, [Copy].
These two Superpowers weren't difficult to collect. Cecilia could fill one gap, and now Bai Fu just needed to find one more to complete the task.
With that in mind, Bai Fu quickly opened her communicator and sent a little reward to Cecilia – a selfie.
In the photo, she took off her shoes, placed them by her side, immersed her feet in the warm pond water, and kept swaying them, causing ripples, then smiled and gave a 'yeah' gesture to the camera.
[How are you feeling? I just got finished up and can finally take a little break. Tell me the handover location; I'll personally deliver the Undying People to you.]
Ding ding –
Cecilia opened the alert on her communicator.
She had set a special ring tone for Bai Fu, so she knew right away it was Bai Fu contacting her, but she never expected Bai Fu to send her a selfie!
She stared at Bai Fu, glittering in the photo, her heart thumping wildly.
Such a white Bai Fu, no, so huge!
Fei Ye and Julia weren't likely to be around the next time they met, right?
This way, she could devour Bai Fu alive!
[I'm doing well, the location is...]
Cecilia replied quickly.
This time she lied, because she was not all right at all. Although saying so felt a bit sacrilegious, she had all the materials for casting and was in desperate need of a place to perform her spells.
