Chapter 13: With my popularity among players, let’s add some points!

Anya felt somewhat guilty under Bai Fu’s slightly odd gaze.

She tugged at her dyed white hair and began to reflect.

“Boss, could it be that I gave too high a proportion to those outsiders? What if we changed it to a ninety-to-one ratio? But I feel that while we might make more money this way, those outsiders might develop other thoughts, leading to our collaboration not lasting long.”

She cautiously voiced her opinion.

With her serious expression paired with her cute face, someone who didn’t know the context might think she was doing something good, but in reality, she was thinking about something as ruthless as the black slave trade.

Bai Fu rolled her eyes.

Speaking of which, every time she talked about “old Deng,” her brain would flash with ideas that could be compared to those of a great benefactor. This is what happens when you grow up in an abandoned cooling plant!

Bai Fu felt that it was only because Annya was currently so lacking in talent that she could only be used as a combat metric; otherwise, with her mind always on money, she might turn the abandoned cooling plant into a Palu factory and “warmly” invite players to come play, acting like a Palu.

“Child, you’re unstoppable.”

She couldn’t help but sigh, “My sister Annya has the aura of a streetlight.”

“Anya, this won’t do. Our friendship with those outsiders is as pure as the clouds. How can we defile it with dirty money?”

Bai Fu decisively intervened.

She couldn’t stand idly by and watch Annya go astray.

Anya met Bai Fu’s gaze, feeling the sincerity in her eyes, and she lowered her head in shame.

“Boss, I’m sorry, from now on I’ll… “

Her words were cut off by Bai Fu.

“We can’t give them any money, not even one percent, let alone a credit coin. If we do, they will question our intentions and doubt our integrity.”

“What?”

Anya was stunned.

If they didn’t give money, it wasn’t just a matter of integrity; it was about not being human.

Furthermore, even if those outsiders were easy to manipulate, it wouldn’t be possible for them to be so exploited and still be happy about it.

Could it be that they all have a submissive nature and enjoy being dominated by the boss?

That’s really twisted!

Bai Fu said, “Of course, we can’t tell them directly that we’re doing this for money. We need to package it well so they get a different sense of accomplishment. Then they won’t focus on the money.”

Anya was even more confused.

“Learn well, and remember, don’t tell anyone else what I told you today, okay?” Bai Fu reminded her.

She already had a plan.

Using the assistance of players entering the Wildfire Gang to investigate its secrets as an excuse, she would send players batch by batch to the Wildfire Gang.

When the time came, she would earn money, players would enjoy the thrill of infiltration and investigation, and the gang boss would vent his anger at being provoked by players. A world where everyone wins would be born!

“I still like this win-win situation.”

Bai Fu wanted to give herself a thumbs-up.

Seeing Bai Fu looking relaxed, Anya heaved a sigh of relief.

She was scared out of her wits, thinking that the boss had turned into a good person.

As expected of the boss, she looked so proper. She still had a lot to learn!

After returning home, Bai Fu asked Annya to stay and cook, then went alone to find Martin.

The big news of Dabiao being beaten by players would soon reach Martin’s ears, and she needed to take preemptive action.

“Something happened!”

“What is it?”

Martin looked at Bai Fu, puzzled.

Bai Fu hurriedly said, “When I went to collect debts, I saw a group of outsiders attacking Dabiao. He couldn’t withstand them and fled, beaten to the ground. It looks like he might not survive.”

Martin immediately became agitated: “What about the money? Did you get it back?”

Bai Fu laid out the 12 credit coins on the table: “His place had already been ransacked when I got there. After searching for a long time, I found only this much.”

Martin was furious.

Bang!

He slammed the table hard, sending the water cup flying.

Those were his money, taken by those outsiders!

“Damn outsiders, damn birth! I will never forgive you!”

He stuffed the money into his pocket and stormed out angrily.

“You did well this time. Rest first, I’ll assign new tasks to you when I return.”

Bai Fu pursed her lips.

It had to be you, breaking your promise of a five-point share and immediately wanting to assign me a new task. You must have learned from Zhou Bapi.

Luckily, she had hidden over 300 yuan beforehand.

[You completed the faction quest [Pay Back Debts], earning 2000 experience points and 10 faction reputation]

The game prompt rang.

As expected, although she only handed over 12 yuan, the game still judged the task as complete.

Current experience: 3871

After operating for so long, it was finally time to reap the rewards.

Bai Fu started leveling up.

[Spiritual Apprentice level up to Lv2, Mind +1, Inspiration +1, Attribute Points +2]

…

[Spiritual Apprentice level up to Lv5, Mind +1, Inspiration +1, Attribute Points +2]

[You unlocked exclusive passive skills [Natural Spirituality], [Basic Inspiration Mastery]]

Previously, completing the hidden quest [Order Iron Fist] earned Bai Fu an extra attribute point. She added all her free attribute points to Constitution, causing a drastic change in her personal attributes.

[Template]: Normal

[Experience]: 71

[Main Occupation]: Spiritual Apprentice Lv5 (0/3000), Vagrant Lv3 (0/1000)

[Secondary Occupation]: None

[Health Points]: 180/180

[Spirit Energy]: 45/45

[Attributes]: Strength 5, Agility 3, Constitution 18, Intelligence 3, Mind 9, Inspiration 9

[Skills]: Zeal Lv1, Harden Lv1, Spiritual Vision

Natural Spirituality Lv1 – Body and Soul Unification, you can temporarily restore 5 Spirit Energy by consuming 20 Health Points

Basic Spiritual Energy Specialization – Learning efficiency of Spiritual Energy knowledge and active skill effects +10%

[Talent]: None

[Attribute Points]: 0

[Reputation]: 1

[Faction]: Wildfire Gang (Faction Reputation 10)

Mind and Inspiration grew, and Constitution doubled. This is what it means to have a sudden surge in strength!

To think that Bai Fu’s Constitution was only 5 points just one and a half days ago.

Getting help from players is indeed faster than upgrading alone.

“Is this what security feels like?”

Bai Fu clenched her fist, looking at her hand, which appeared unchanged but smoother overall. She smiled.

Now, to continue improving her strength, besides accumulating experience to level up her main occupation, she needs to find ways to obtain more skill books.

The easiest place to get skill books and profession books is the Wildfire Gang’s library.

But with her current status, she doesn’t have the qualifications to enter the library. She must improve her position within the Wildfire Gang.

Note that all positions in the Wildfire Gang are one post per person, so she must wait for a position to open up before she can compete for it.

Now she knows what to do next.

Bai Fu looked at the chair Martin had sat in earlier.

Old Deng, I’ve tolerated you for a long time. Now I’ll show you the wrath of a worker!
