Chapter 117: Everyone Surrender, Bai Fu is the Chosen One! [5k]

Although Bai Fu had already set her sights on the Former Republic as her next target, she was not in a rush to act.

To do great things, one must first have the right tools!

The next place she planned to infiltrate was the headquarters of one of the five major powers on the Source Star. Without adequate preparation, she might fail.

If it were just capturing Beihim, Bai Fu would be quite confident.

She had fought Beihim at the Marsk Laboratory and had seen his data panel. She was confident she could bring him to his knees in a short time.

The real challenge was how to get past the high-level NPCs of the Former Republic to reach Beihim and then escape with him while evading pursuit to a safe location for interrogation.

“Speed is key.”

Bai Fu checked her attributes. Her base agility was 35 points. With the bonuses from He Fu, Yi Cai, and her superpower burst, she could temporarily boost it to 50 points.

A 50-point agility would make her extremely fast among spiritual prayer mages, almost too fast for others to react.

However, compared to high-level physical combat NPCs or speed-type ability NPCs, 50 points might not be enough.

To ensure the mission’s success, Bai Fu urgently contacted Su Li to arrange for the best mechanical engineer from the Railway Guild to design a combat suit for her.

“I don’t care much about defense; focus on speed and strength. Also, add a sudden turn capability if possible. If time permits, add functions to hide my identity and shield detection. As for appearance… just something decent, I’ll cover it up anyway.”

“Sure,” Su Li quickly agreed, “I’ll design it for you.”

Bai Fu added, “Don’t get too creative. If you try to make me wear something ridiculous like a thong outside, I’ll take yours off and put it on your head.”

“Don’t worry.”

Su Li laughed and agreed.

In less than twenty minutes, Su Li sent a message saying that such a combat suit could be ready in three days.

Three days?

Bai Fu used this time to make prayer cards.

She bought materials for making prayer cards and stayed inside for three days, crafting cards non-stop.

She invested all the experience gained into her Moon Dancer profession, leveling up by five levels to Moon Dancer (Advanced) Lv5.

This upgrade gave her +10 agility, +5 constitution, +5 spirit, +10 attribute points, and a new skill called Moon Concealment.

Moon Concealment: Consumes 5 spiritual energy per minute, reduces noise during movement, no cooldown.

This skill was very useful for infiltration, assassination, and escaping.

Bai Fu nodded in satisfaction.

She didn’t immediately allocate the extra 10 attribute points, planning to use them strategically when needed.

Her current attributes were:

Strength: 29, Agility: 45, Constitution: 103, Intelligence: 35, Spirit: 37, Inspiration: 128

After three days, Bai Fu and He Fu rushed to the Railway Guild.

“Take a look at this combat suit. If there’s anything you don’t like, we can still change it.”

The combat suit Su Li provided was a tight-fitting design with special stretchable material that fit perfectly and looked good without any awkwardness.

The suit was black overall, with intricate designs and colors on key parts for both aesthetics and functionality.

Bai Fu inspected the combat suit with her spiritual vision.

Combat Suit MX-Mod (Customized by Bai Fu)

Quality: Purple

Attributes: Durability 150/150, Strength +16, Agility +23

Energy: MX Mini-Core x4, Energy 200/200, consumes 0.4 energy per minute after full activation, rechargeable

The description detailed the suit’s stealth capabilities, signal shielding, and foot burst modules.

Except for durability and defense, the suit was essentially a god-tier item.

Su Li said, “When making this suit, I made sure the advanced mechanical engineer used the latest breathable material. You can fight all day in it without feeling uncomfortable.”

Bai Fu nodded.

After unlocking her advanced profession, her body had been strengthened. The enhancements included her physical strength, body contours, metabolism, etc., so the features Su Li mentioned weren’t particularly relevant to her.

“Nothing needs changing, this is perfect.”

Bai Fu promptly paid the remaining balance to Su Li.

On leaving the Railway Guild, she received good news. The Truth Society had recently attacked the Railway Guild, People’s Alliance, and the Former Republic, diverting their attention.

“Some high-level agents of the Former Republic have been reassigned. This increases my chances.”

Bai Fu was increasingly grateful to the Truth Society’s president.

This influential figure was far more supportive than the former Wildfire Gang leader.

He had continuously provided her with experience and reputation, helped her control the Gene Progenitor, and given her tasks to help her advance.

“Regardless of intentions, once I dominate the Source Star, I will honor the Truth Society president as an honorary master.”

Leaving the Railway Guild, Bai Fu hurried to Black Mountain City.

Night fell, clouds gathered, and she watched the scene transmitted by the two Xiao Xiao Bai Fu units.

One unit monitored the intelligence department office, while the other watched the laboratory where the researcher worked on enhancing potions.

Due to strict nighttime control in the Former Republic, streets were mostly empty except for occasional cats, dogs, and grim-faced patrol officers.

“We’ve been watching for two days, but Beihim has stayed in the intelligence building,” a player reported.

Bai Fu frowned.

Though some high-level agents had been diverted, many remained in Black Mountain City. With her current strength, even with the combat suit, it would be risky to storm the intelligence building.

She decided to activate her second plan to lure Beihim out.

“Prepare to act.”

The players began their operations, focusing on the laboratory. When the targeted researchers emerged, they were surrounded.

“Target sighted!”

The player on lookout announced.

The capture team prepared to strike, while the disruption team engaged. Other players stopped pursuers and redirected them.

Under the command, the capture team launched their assault, moving swiftly like agile leopards.

With spiritual shields, they charged the target, using ritual cards to immobilize him, then subdued him with ropes and other means.

In under twenty seconds, they succeeded and began retreating.

A patrol officer arrived, found the commotion, and called for backup.

More patrol officers arrived, searching for the players.

Meanwhile, the disruption team caused chaos.

“Bad news, the intelligence deputy minister Beihim is collaborating with the Truth Society! Everyone, run!”

“False information, don’t believe it! Beihim is innocent, the real traitor is Colonel Chuck!”

These messages spread panic, confusing everyone.

“Contact the president, we need reinforcements! If there are many traitors, we won’t stand a chance!”

Black Mountain City’s terminals buzzed with activity.

In the intelligence building, Beihim glanced at the clock irritably.

His mood had been terrible, all because of Bai Fu.

Though he wasn’t overly upset about being threatened, the events with Bai Fu had disrupted his investigations.

However, everything changed when the undead suddenly abandoned their investigation and left the Former Republic.

Beihim was shocked and dispatched agents to investigate.

He discovered that most had fled to the Goli Desert, Bai Fu’s territory.

Beihim realized Bai Fu’s charm was powerful, attracting the undead to her side.

He suspected these undead were sent to disrupt their morale.

Just then, his personal terminal rang.

“What’s wrong? Deputy Minister Beihim, people are claiming you’re collaborating with the Truth Society!”

“???”

Beihim was stunned. He vehemently denied it.

He quickly left the intelligence building, intending to arrest the rumor-mongers.

A black figure suddenly appeared in front of him.

“Who are you?”

Beihim was startled. He hadn’t noticed the figure approaching.

He raised his hand to strike, but the figure moved unexpectedly, dodging the attack.

Bam!

The air struck the wall, causing damage.

Bai Fu kicked off, launching herself at Beihim with explosive force, appearing before him in an instant.

She unleashed a series of strikes, shattering Beihim’s defensive shield and denting his chest.

“You…”

Beihim recognized the technique.

But he couldn’t react in time.

Bai Fu, fully activated, reached him first, lifting him up with a flood of spiritual energy.

“Ah!”

Beihim screamed as he was battered and disoriented.

Bai Fu didn’t finish him, instead grabbing him and looking around.

The agents accompanying Beihim were terrified, overwhelmed by the swift defeat of their superior.

The commotion attracted attention, and Bai Fu and He Fu quickly left.
