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

The spider had endowed her with extraordinary power, yet it also branded her with the name of a monster. Throughout her life, she had scarcely known a day of true happiness, haunted by nightmares in which she was eviscerated and devoured by spiders.

Fear, inferiority...

Growing up amidst such twisted emotions, Cecilia naturally became a twisted person herself.

Now, hearing that there was a chance to truly break free from the spider's control, it was hard for her not to be excited.

"How should I do it?"

Bai Fu said, "Just continue collecting rare superpowers."

Cecilia nodded eagerly: "I'll keep an eye out for you."

Bai Fu expressed her thanks. Then, she accessed the new ability unlocked in the diagram, [Copy], and read the detailed description.

The [Copy] ability could only be used to replicate skills from targets whose profession level was no more than 10 levels above hers. Once successfully copied, she could use the copied skill without any consumption, and the skills could be used repeatedly. However, after each use, she had to wait for a recharge to use it again—and the recharge duration was closely related to the number of superpowers recorded in the Superpower Evolution Tree Diagram. The more superpowers recorded, the shorter the recharge time.

No more than 10 levels above?

Wasn't Cecilia's profession level just 10 levels above hers?

Bai Fu used the [Copy] ability on Cecilia, and soon, she received a notification of successful duplication of Life Drain.

[Life Drain]: Drains life value from all specified targets within a 5 km radius; the efficiency dependent on the constitution difference between the parties involved.

In the hands of someone with an absurdly high constitution like Cecilia, this skill was absolutely a divine skill.

In the hands of a "Fragile Mage," the effectiveness of this skill would be greatly diminished. If the number of opponents was small and each was tough as nails, the skill would become completely useless.

But it was worth noting that Bai Fu was not an ordinary "Fragile Mage"—she was a "Fragile Mage" who had enhanced her constitution and had the support of players.

Who said this skill had to be used on enemies only!

In critical moments, she could entirely use players following her as blood bags, utilizing Life Drain on them to replenish her own life value.

She had already squeezed so much experience out of the players, so what was a little bit of their blood?

Bai Fu didn't think such actions would cause players to resent her; she wasn't going to drain their blood every day, just once or twice occasionally.

Besides, she wasn't draining players' blood for fun; she did it to overcome her opponents, to complete tasks. Once she defeated her enemies and completed her tasks, the players would benefit greatly from the spoils of her success—enough to satisfy players whose average level was still below 35.

This move, this cunning strategy, was to exchange blood for experience; in the end, players might even beg her to drain them.

[Fufu, don't pity me, just go ahead and push a little harder!]

Bai Fu closed the diagram's copy function interface, feeling quite satisfied.

"Let's go, let's head back."

Cecilia didn't hurry to leave but asked, "Are you going to search for the mother strain of the Dissociative Potion at the locations I marked earlier?"

Bai Fu nodded, "That's the plan. Do you want to come along?"

Cecilia said, "Yes."

Bai Fu resolutely refused: "Forget it, you better not get involved. After suffering such losses, the Secret Tower probably despises you to the bone. If they find out you've shown up, they'll likely do everything in their power to send someone after you."

Cecilia was stunned for a moment.

Indeed.

If she accompanied Bai Fu, it could only increase the difficulty of Bai Fu's success. It'd be better to take the Undying People that Bai Fu had sent her and create trouble for the Secret Tower elsewhere.

Returning to Cecilia's temporary residence, Bai Fu officially introduced the Players she brought on the spaceship to Cecilia.

After getting to know each other for a while, it was time to say goodbye to Cecilia.

Time waits for no one.

After the incident on Golden Valley Star, Cecilia became the thorn in the Secret Tower's side, and so was she, wasn't she?

Judging by the vengeful nature the Secret Tower Master had displayed, if they found the opportunity, they would launch an intense assault on her. She must increase her power to the S+ level before the revenge took place.

Although Cecilia yearned to feast on Bai Fu every day, given the Secret Tower was at stake, she didn't insist on detaining her and only asked Bai Fu to take a few more pictures for her—constantly casting spells on the same photo would get tiresome at some point.

"Oh, one more thing... Never mind, it's nothing."

Cecilia had actually wanted to ask Bai Fu where she learned all those moves. If not for those moves, she wouldn't have been utterly defeated by Bai Fu. But as soon as she began to speak, she realized it was a foolish question.

Where had she learned them?

That didn't need guessing; it was obviously from Julia and Fei Ye's tutelage.

When she wasn't looking, Bai Fu must have been sparring with Julia and Fei Ye a lot.

Boom!

A surge of murderous intent sprouted in Cecilia's heart, but she quickly suppressed it.

Times had changed. If it had been before, eliminating Julia and Fei Ye wouldn't have given her any psychological burden, but now the situation was different. She had to consider how Bai Fu would view her.

Although she couldn't physically destroy Julia and Fei Ye, she had thought of a countermeasure.

If not physical destruction, then let it be a Spirit Impact!

From this day forward, she would practice her skills hard, to the point where Bai Fu would be completely reliant on her, and accept no one else besides her. Then, she would show Julia and Fei Ye just how much Bai Fu clung to her...
