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

"..."

"Dignity, what about the dignity that befits Catastrophe Level power?"

To this, Steel Curtain and Marlon just chuckled.

Can dignity fill your stomach?

I don't know.

They only knew that following Bai Fu indeed offered them delicacies from land and sea.

After wiping out Fleming's fleet, the two of them thought that considering their contribution in the task, there wouldn't be much reward left for them.

But to their surprise, Nellis, rejoicing, not only settled their dues in advance but also maximized their compensation considering Bai Fu's face.

Lovely!

If every time they were on a mission with Bai Fu, it would be even more wonderful!

"If the mercenary job doesn't work out, maybe consider joining Dark Moon Tide and working for Bai Fu. With her character, there's no worry of being exploited."

Steel Curtain and Marlon calculated in their minds.

After leaving the broken Fortress Ship, Bai Fu met those players who had just defected.

She just wanted to showcase the new benefits of joining Silent Court through Digging Girl, but unexpectedly, this sparked the players from Fleming's side to hijack a spaceship and defect immediately.

This was both good and bad.

The good was that with these players setting an example, more players from other camps who weren't initially planning to join her would now pledge their allegiance, among whom, a portion would actively learn from Master Tai'er to become spies and pass her intelligence. With these players' help, her main task in dealing with Tem Civilization would be easier.

The downside was that among the players joining her would definitely be spies from other camps, and she would need some time to discern whether the intelligence brought by these new players was true or false. Also, with Lockheed's incident becoming known, other camps, realizing that she could turn players on the battlefield, would certainly grow more wary of her and might even take special measures.

Bai Fu felt, from a long-term perspective, the benefits outweighed the detriments.

The value of players was extremely high.

Though she would suffer some targeted attacks at this stage, with the game evolving and the players' powers further enhancing, the players she recruited from this event could bring her benefits tenfold, even a hundredfold, later.

For a simple example, in version 2.0, the player's max level was 50. By version 2.1, whether the level cap increased by 5 or 10, players would officially become A-level superpower users.

These are A-level superpower users, the backbone strength in Star Sea!

If she could recruit hundreds of thousands of players in the coming time, then by the next version, she would have hundreds of thousands of A-level superpower users under her. With so many A-level superpower users attacking together, what are S-level and S+ level but minced meat, and only Catastrophe Level can dominate.

"Need to find an opportunity to say something in front of the media that seems very righteous but is actually pretty insidious to provoke the relationship between NPCs and players of other camps; players are mostly proud and will likely come to join me when they get angry."

Hehe.

The only thing making Bai Fu anxious now was fearing that this might make the Leader's group suspect the spy she had recently sent over.

But the problem wasn't too severe; she had roughly figured out the Leader's plans, and even without the spy, it wouldn't affect the overall situation.

"Hello everyone!"

"Hello Fufu!"

...

As Bai Fu greeted the new players, General Lister was urgently investigating the situation with Fleming.

Fleming had just exclaimed "Bai Fu is a monster" before losing contact, making General Lister's camp very uneasy.

Bai Fu is a "monster", is it because Bai Fu is literally a "monster" or because she's monstrously powerful?

A few hours later, the news spread.

Fleming's fleet was completely annihilated!

They saw this in the news.

Facing the media, Nellis strongly criticized Lister.

Half an hour later, the Leader stepped forward, furiously denouncing the actions of Lister and others as severely damaging the nation's traditions, constituting a crime of division.

Another half-hour passed, and factions such as Gustav and Ranie also stood up, taking the opportunity to kick someone who was already down, with a superior attitude slamming the first unsettled faction of Lister.

This wasn't even the most infuriating part.

At this point, the Honorable Force jumped out, their spokesperson expressing their welcome for General Lister to turn from darkness to light and join them in the battle to liberate those civilizations enslaved by the Tem Civilization.

"After the great cause of liberation succeeds, we are willing to nominate General Lister as the first President."

Slap!

Even though he had already anticipated criticism for his actions, General Lister was still infuriated to the point of fuming.

He had already given a Fortress Ship to Fleming; how could he still suffer such a disastrous defeat?

Now, he had lost both face and substance.

General Lister certainly couldn't just take this; he immediately retaliated, claiming he had evidence of Nellis and Ranie rigging elections, and yes, evidence of Nellis colluding with Titan Industry.

His reason for launching a surprise attack on Nellis, especially on Lockheed, was to cut off Nellis's channel with Arctic Power, and thereby with Titan Industry.

"Tem Civilization is the Tem Civilization of the Tem Civilization People, it should never be handed to others, especially these acts of collusion with other civilizations just to become Leader are particularly abominable, I will not acknowledge the results of the election, all who still dearly love Tem Civilization, join me, and fight with me for the future of Tem Civilization!"

General Lister went all out.

Following his reply, the various factions of Tem Civilization completely tore off their masks.
