Chapter 130: The True Main Character of Source Star – Bai Fu
Even though there were several walls between them, due to her constant activation of Spiritual Perception, Bai Fu noticed Xu Zhihao’s presence early.
She quickly raised her right hand, punching through the wall that blocked her way. In the instant she locked eyes with Xu Zhihao, she threw a Piercing Spear Prayer Card that shattered the terminal in Xu Zhihao’s hand.
Even without using Spiritual Vision, Bai Fu could sense that Xu Zhihao was a formidable opponent.
Xu Zhihao had knotted muscles, brimming with vitality and energy; his fingertips crackled as if adhering to air—marking him as a martial arts expert.
However, he wasn’t tall enough, at least not towering two or three stories high as Bai Fu imagined.
Had she encountered Xu Zhihao when she had just unlocked her advanced class, she would have turned around and fled immediately. But now, she was several times stronger than she was back then!
Flee?
As Xu Zhihao became enraged due to his terminal being destroyed, Bai Fu preemptively launched an attack. Five Prayer Cards flew into the surroundings, transforming into Void Balls.
In the next second, Xu Zhihao exerted force with both feet, charging at her like thunder.
“Whoever you are, meeting me today is your misfortune!”
Xu Zhihao roared loudly, the qi emanating from his arms turning into wriggling electric snakes, distorting the air around him.
The close-range attacks of a martial artist are extremely effective against Spiritual Prayer Mages. Of course, this was usually the case. Bai Fu herself was already incredibly tough, having leveled up her Moonlit Dancer skill to level 30. Even without activating Super Energy Burst, her agility was boosted by combat gear and Yi Cai to an impressive 115 points.
She didn’t dodge but directly engaged Xu Zhihao in fierce combat. Her hands enveloped in spiritual energy, her left hand unleashed a Spiritual Explosion to clear the path while her right hand wielded an Electric Knife to tear through space.
In an instant, they clashed more than ten times.
Xu Zhihao felt a burning pain on his body but did not take it too seriously.
He could sense that Bai Fu was fast, but her strength was surprisingly weak. If it weren’t for her pesky Spiritual Explosions, she wouldn’t last long against him.
“Take him down!”
Xu Zhihao was elated as a faint, dazzling white light began to glow around him. However, before he could act, Bai Fu suddenly pointed at him.
Dispel!
The Buff of “Qi Surge” that had just appeared on his body was dispelled into thin air, replaced by an inexplicable emptiness rising from within. This strange experience caused him to pause for half a second during the battle.
Half a second may not seem long, but for someone at Bai Fu’s level, it was enough time to accomplish much.
The five Void Balls fired simultaneously. A pillar of spiritual energy pierced through the walls, striking Xu Zhihao’s chest.
By the time Xu Zhihao attempted to dodge, Bai Fu had already appeared in front of him like a ghostly dancer. The Electric Knife swirled around his arms like a lively snake, piercing through his chest cavity.
“Little Xiao Bai Fu!”
Lacking strength? Let’s add explosions!
Two Xiao Xiao Bai Fus suddenly appeared beside Xu Zhihao’s feet and exploded violently. With a 135% Prayer Card effect bonus, the output of Xiao Xiao Bai Fu surged significantly, instantly shattering the qi shield protecting Xu Zhihao’s body. Subsequently, the intense shockwave completely destabilized his balance.
Bai Fu exerted force with both arms, charging forward like a speeding heavy truck. With the Electric Knife pulsating with energy, she pushed Xu Zhihao forcefully ahead.
One wall, two walls, three walls…
The sounds of explosions and collapses intertwined. Bai Fu had lost count of how many walls Xu Zhihao had crashed through under her relentless assault.
She saw people fleeing in terror at the sight, others attempting to intervene despite their disbelief.
But none of it mattered. She had her Void Balls accompanying her.
Walls obstructing her path crumbled.
People who dared to block her met the same fate.
Under the triple assault of the Electric Knife, Spiritual Explosions, and Dimensional Erosion, Xu Zhihao’s Health Points dwindled like flowing water. His throat emitted heart-wrenching screams as he retaliated multiple times with qi, yet each strike against Bai Fu dissipated harmlessly, like stones sinking into the sea without a ripple.
Do you think Spiritual Protection is just for show?
Seeing Xu Zhihao’s HP drop to only 20%, Bai Fu swiftly drew her Electric Knife. A flash of blade light sliced past Xu Zhihao’s neck, finishing him off.
[You have defeated Xu Zhihao, a high-level superhuman of the Truth Society. Contribution rate: 100%. You have gained 290,000 Experience Points.]
After completing the main quest to eliminate the Truth Society, Bai Fu received an additional 200,000 experience points and a one-time Skill Card from Xu Zhihao named [Spiritual Revival].
[Spiritual Revival]: Automatically resists one mental attack.
“Not bad.”
Bai Fu stored the Skill Card. What she feared most now were psychic mutants.
Xu Zhihao, at total level 47, lasted only 12 seconds against her. Although this was partly because Xu Zhihao hadn’t anticipated her ability to dispel buffs, leading to his quick defense breakdown, even so, Bai Fu hadn’t used her full potential in the previous battle.
She hadn’t utilized He Fu, Small Black Fu, more Xiao Xiao Bai FUs, or skills like Dark Burning. Had she unleashed all these trump cards at once, she could have wiped out Xu Zhihao’s health bar in just five seconds.
That’s how devastating it gets when all passives are maximized.
People outside often said she posed a great threat, mainly because of her immense charm, which allowed her to manipulate players like succubi.
Bai Fu thought their judgment was still superficial.
She glanced around, and the surviving members of the Truth Society screamed in terror and fled upon meeting her gaze.
“Monster!”
Encountering Bai Fu in Zone C, her sudden Spiritual Explosions were monstrous. Despite their best efforts, they couldn’t defeat her, leaving them with no choice but to run.
Before they had taken more than a few steps, the Void Balls fired, eliminating everyone except one survivor.
Bai Fu stepped forward, stepping on the last survivor. “Where is Bernardo?”
“Main Monitoring Room, in the Main Monitoring Room!”
“How do I get to the monitoring room?”
“It’s in Area A, but we can’t leave now. All the gates in Zone C are closed.”
The survivor screamed in fear as Bai Fu ended his life with a single slash.
Closing the doors held little meaning for her. Could the Truth Society seal all the ventilation shafts as well? She could easily send Small Black Fu through the vents to open the doors for her from the outside.
Bai Fu started moving towards Area A. Along the way, more and more members of the Truth Society rushed toward Zone C. They were unaware that Xu Zhihao was already dead, thus maintaining their aggressive demeanor, eager to claim great merit.
In short, Bai Fu had temporarily drawn their attention, creating an opportunity for He Fu and Youlia.
…
Under Ed’s guidance, He Fu arrived at the main server room in Zone C.
“Use your authority to shut down all surveillance cameras in Zone C.”
Ed complied accordingly.
Once the cameras were off, it became easier for He Fu and Youlia to hide. Next, He Fu operated the server room, uploading a complete map of Zone C into the map function.
“The Main Monitoring Room is in Area A, the data room is in Area B, and the power rooms are separate for each zone.”
He Fu’s finger traced over the displayed map, finally stopping on a door without any description.
“Where does this door lead?”
Ed hesitated briefly but eventually revealed the truth: “To the underground factory area, where there is a special mutant production line. Do you remember the Marsk Laboratory? That production line uses the ferocious mutant technology researched by Marsk Laboratory.”
He Fu’s eyelids twitched.
How could she forget? Her class transfer mission was completed after killing a ferocious mutant.
Ferocious mutants far surpassed ordinary mutants in strength, and their health bars were absurdly thick. If the underground factory really had such a monster-producing line, then the remaining combat strength of the Truth Society’s main base might be higher than she had imagined.
“We must hurry.”
After all, this was someone else’s territory, and a prolonged battle would be disadvantageous for her.
He Fu led Youlia in the opposite direction of Bai Fu and contacted Su Li along the way.
Since the Truth Society still had hidden tricks up their sleeves, she couldn’t afford to hold back either.
Su Li: [Hey hey hey, let…]
Will I help you look up information? I’m not your mobile library. You can’t just look things up whenever you want. You should at least give me some benefit.]
He Fu: [This time I have good news for you.]
Su Li: [Are you lying to me?]
He Fei: [The President of the Truth Society is currently leading people to attack the Gene Progenitor. His real target is the Gene Progenitor; the alliance and the Former Republic are just a cover.]
Su Li was shocked by this news.
She instinctively wanted to believe it, but believing it herself would be useless. The key was to make the higher-ups believe it because only they could mobilize the army.
[I need some evidence to convince others; otherwise, they will think it’s just a strategy to lure the tiger away from the mountain.]
He Fei directly sent her current location to Su Li: [If you ask why I know, it’s because I’m now in the main base of the Truth Society (photos attached). The photos I asked you to check were taken by me in the main base of the Truth Society.]
Having successfully infiltrated the base, found Youlia, and caused great destruction, Bai Fu no longer worried about the Railway Guild coming to snatch the quest.
[I’ve already informed the immortals of the Silent Courtyard to temporarily follow your orders. Now you can command them to strike against the Truth Society. There should be nearly ten thousand people for you to command.]
Looking at the text and photos displayed on the terminal screen, Su Li couldn’t help but rub her eyes hard.
My goodness!
Bai Fu is at the main base of the Truth Society! What shocking news!
It was hard to believe, but everything in the photos looked so convincing.
[How did you find your way there?]
[A immortal told me.]
Immortals again?
Su Li shook her head forcefully. No, now wasn’t the time to dwell on such matters.
Isn’t it normal that Bai Fu obtained intelligence from the immortals? If the president of the Truth Society really is attacking the Gene Progenitor as Bai Fu said, then they must act immediately; otherwise, if the president of the Truth Society gets his way, there might be big trouble.
“This is an excellent opportunity to eliminate the Truth Society! Once we miss this chance, who knows when we’ll get another chance to completely destroy the Truth Society!”
Su Li passionately expressed her opinion.
The high-level members of the Railway Guild sat around a round table to listen to her report.
Bai Fu, Bai Fu again!
In addition to feeling shocked, they also felt wary.
Some even had the idea of ignoring the main base of the Truth Society and letting Bai Fu be surrounded and killed by the people in the main base of the Truth Society, but this thought didn’t last long. Just like Su Li said, if they don’t act now and let the people of the Truth Society escape, who knows where to find them next time.
The high-level members of the Railway Guild whispered to each other and quickly reached a consensus—
Tackle both fronts!
They need to send people to support the Gene Progenitor and attack the rear of the Truth Society while also sending people to the main base of the Truth Society to surround it before the people inside flee.
To achieve this goal, relying solely on the Railway Guild isn’t enough. They quickly contacted several other major forces.
Just like them, everyone who received the message was dumbfounded.
“How did Bai Fu end up in the main base of the Truth Society?”
“Is she crazy?”
All the major forces harbored their own thoughts, especially after learning that the location of the main base of the Truth Society was revealed to Bai Fu by players.
But no matter how complicated their thoughts were, in order to completely destroy the Truth Society, they temporarily refrained from making rash moves and quickly began to gather troops.
Time waits for no one.
The Truth Society has already engaged with the Gene Progenitor. If delayed any longer, based on the paper strength of the Gene Progenitor, there’s absolutely no way they could withstand the attack.
Also, on the side of the main base of the Truth Society, once the people of the Truth Society kill Bai Fu, they will definitely organize a retreat immediately. If they arrive too late, they won’t gain anything.
As the news spread from person to person, it finally reached the player community.
[???]
Not to mention the players who are not part of the Silent Courtyard faction, most players of the Silent Courtyard faction only learned now that Bai Fu left White Fu Town this time to deal with the Truth Society.
[Riding alone into the Truth Society, holy crap, Fu Fu is too strong!]
[Fighting the Truth Society, isn’t this the main storyline? Bai Fu went in alone… Holy crap, isn’t Bai Fu probably the biggest protagonist of the Source Star?]
In the preview for version 1.2, Bai Fu appeared in many scenes, and most players no longer doubted that she was one of the protagonists of the Source Star. But today’s intelligence seemed to be telling them that they were still too naive.
One of the protagonists?
The only protagonist!
[Analysis of Bai Fu’s true role]
[Fu, how many more surprises do you have hidden?]
[Initiating the main storyline all by herself, she is Bai Fu!]
For a time, a large number of videos analyzing Bai Fu appeared in the community.
The community became incredibly lively. Players from other planets watched with confusion: Not that, buddy, how did you start fighting the world boss? We’re still slowly progressing through the storylines.
They may not understand, but they were deeply impressed.
The earlier you engage with the main storyline, the faster your leveling speed, and the faster you level up, the more benefits the players of the Source Star can obtain.
Damn, the more you think about it, the more envy and jealousy arise!
And the one who brought about these changes is the name everyone is familiar with—
Bai Fu!
Outside the community, the players of the Source Star are also ecstatic. They followed their factions and launched expeditions. Some players targeted the Gene Progenitor, some targeted the main base of the Truth Society, and only a very few players belonging to the Truth Society aimed to avoid being attacked as much as possible.
[Holy cow, I just joined the faction for over a month, my faction shouldn’t disappear, right?]
[Truth Society, you’ve done me wrong. How are you going to compensate me?]
[Wah wah wah, I must be blind. How could I join the Truth Society? This faction is just luring people in to kill them.]
The cries of despair echoed everywhere, and most of the players in the Truth Society lost their composure. A part of them laughed joyfully and began to cheer Bai Fu on fiercely.
Go ahead, white-haired jailer sister, take down the Truth Society and save us from suffering!
…
At the Truth Society, Bernardo passed through door after door. After entering the underground production line, he contacted the people in the main monitoring room.
“How’s Xu Zhihao doing? Where’s Bai Fu?”
The person on the other end of the terminal swallowed saliva and spoke with a trembling voice: “Minister, all the surveillance in Zone C has been turned off. But someone just went to check, and he didn’t find Bai Fu. He only saw Xu Zhihao’s corpse.”
Bernardo felt a tightness in his chest and almost fell to the ground.
Xu Zhihao is dead?
He vaguely felt that Xu Zhihao was no match for Bai Fu, so he advised Xu Zhihao to retreat temporarily, but Xu Zhihao still died at Bai Fu’s hands.
A cold chill crept up Bernardo’s scalp.
This woman is too dangerous and must not be allowed to live!
“Release all the beastly mutants!”
“Should we release the prototypes too?”
“Release them, release them all!”
Bernardo gritted his teeth and shouted after speaking, then hurriedly contacted the president. It couldn’t be concealed anymore. Bai Fu knew the location of the main base, and it was highly likely that the Railway Guild also knew. If the Railway Guild knew, how could the Gene Progenitor not be prepared?
The path the president is taking might be full of traps!
“Bernardo? Why are you contacting me now?” The president of the Truth Society was puzzled.
Bernardo recounted what happened earlier, and his words left the president of the Truth Society speechless for dozens of seconds.
“In two hours, at most two hours, I will return. Before that, prepare for evacuation!”
After the call ended, the president of the Truth Society forcibly suppressed the killing intent towards Bai Fu in his heart. He looked up and gazed at the distant spire.
He was only one step away!
At the same time, at a gate between Zone C and Zone A of the Truth Society, Bai Fu smiled as she looked at the members of the Truth Society surging out from both sides.
She was also only one step away from rescuing Youlia!
