Chapter 138: Out-of-the-loop Level of Popularity, Bai Fu’s Path to the Throne [8k]

Bai Fu led Youlia and the players through the central avenue of Bai Fu Town, which stretched straight ahead.

On both sides of the avenue, there were cheering crowds and flying confetti, occasionally accompanied by the sound of salutes, giving a sense of celebration for the birth of a monarch.

These NPCs had all come out voluntarily, not because they were paid by Elder Nissen or Sean to create a spectacle.

This was a genuine welcome!

All players were experiencing such treatment for the first time.

Although they had similar experiences in other games, how could pre-rendered animations compare with the sensory stimulation brought by “Above the Stars,” whose realism approached nearly 100%?

The players, covered in splattered colorful paper pieces, were in high spirits.

“Stream it! Hurry up and stream it so others can envy us!”

The news of Bai Fu defeating the President of the Truth Society had already spread throughout the community, but only now did players from all over have the chance to see her triumphant return.

[Young girl in fine clothes and spirited horse, who doesn’t recognize the Queen of Goli!]

[Not rhyming, rewrite it]

[Introducing everyone, this is my wife]

[I can’t even imagine how high I’d float if there were so many NPCs welcoming me on the side of the road]

[Floating eggs, NPCs are mainly cheering for Fu Fu; everyone else is just an add-on]

As players in the live stream chatted enthusiastically and various creative talents began to freely interpret this major event, Bai Fu finally arrived with Youlia in front of Elder Nissen.

“According to our agreement, I’ve brought her back.”

Youlia forced herself to muster some energy and managed a faint smile toward Elder Nissen.

“Uncle Nissen, long time no see.”

She didn’t say much—not that she didn’t want to, but she couldn’t.

She regretted it a bit, wishing she hadn’t replenished Bai Fu’s mana. It would have been better to study it slowly after returning.

Now, Bai Fu was comfortable, but Youlia had become completely drained, turning into a “mute” during their reunion after years apart.

Elder Nissen’s hands trembled, his eyes blurred with tears. He looked at Youlia, then at Bai Fu, feeling as if everything was a dream.

“Just being back is good, just being back is good.”

Months ago, he was at the lowest point of his life, like a flickering candle about to go out. But suddenly, his life had shifted from hell mode to easy mode.

Wishes fulfilled, traitors killed, enemies destroyed, and now his adopted daughter had returned—all thanks to Bai Fu. Unfortunately, he was old and severely injured, and even with all his strength, he couldn’t repay Bai Fu much.

With joy came sorrow, and Elder Nissen felt disheartened.

At this moment, Bai Fu suddenly stopped him. “I brought you something good from the Truth Society—enhancement potions. After digesting them, you should be able to restore your strength, and further advancement isn’t impossible.”

A potion bottle was thrust into his hand. Looking at the semi-transparent glass vial, Elder Nissen’s heart surged as if hit by a storm.

With such treatment, how could he not dedicate himself wholeheartedly, even unto death?

“Thank you, thank you.”

Under the protection of the crowd, Bai Fu found a new residence for the drowsy Youlia, right next to her own house.

It’s great to be young—you fall asleep the moment you lie down.

After making sure Youlia was lying down, Bai Fu left.

Though she had just fought fiercely and driven continuously for a day, Bai Fu still brimmed with energy.

This was all thanks to the players. The thought of taking advantage of the players once again to gain large amounts of money and experience made her excited, her body burning hot and her eyes glowing red.

“My pockets are already thirsty!”

Everyone said she was a succubus. If she was indeed a succubus, then of course, she needed to feed regularly to be a good one.

Hey hey, kids, I’m your good friend Bai Ge, and I’ve arrived!

Bai Fu immediately contacted Gao Yuan and Anya.

“Court Master, you’re finally back!”

Hearing the voice from the terminal, Gao Yuan felt as if he had encountered a savior.

Although he had long placed all his future bets on Bai Fu, even if he was bold, he didn’t dare to claim that Bai Fu could destroy the Truth Society. Yet Bai Fu had truly done it, and Dallas, the external liaison of the Darknet, had informed him.

[Strongest superhuman of the Source Star][Beauty of a millennium][Light of the wasteland][Queen under the Silver Moon]

During the call, Dallas lavishly praised Bai Fu with various beautiful words.

Of course, Gao Yuan knew what he meant—intimidated by Bai Fu’s terrifying power and achievements, Dallas wanted to build a relationship.

Indeed, after a flood of exaggerated praise, Dallas grinned and indicated that the Makarov family wanted to collaborate with the Silent Courtyard. Together, they aimed to create a new comprehensive platform integrating assassination missions and legitimate commissions, capturing most of the contract tasks for killers and mercenaries on the Source Star.

After ending the call with Dallas, Gao Yuan received many similar contacts one after another.

Those who contacted him included arms merchants, construction companies, large settlements not affiliated with the four major forces, pharmaceutical procurement companies, and even film production companies. They all expressed interest in collaborating with the Silent Courtyard.

Just months ago, he didn’t have the qualifications to converse with these powers, but now the situation had reversed, and he had become the object of flattery by these forces.

Gao Yuan was somewhat elated but remained clear that all this was due to Bai Fu.

“Are there really so many people wanting to cooperate?”

Bai Fu’s eyes flickered.

This was an opportunity, especially after cooperating with the Darknet. She could release more quests to the players via the Darknet, and more quests would help her recruit more players.

Bai Fu always had a grand dream. She wanted to turn the Source Star into her secret garden, ensuring that all players born on the Source Star, even if they didn’t want to join the Silent Courtyard, couldn’t escape her influence. This way, she could continuously mine gold from the Source Star to support her journey across the Star Ocean.

Cutting grass is an art, focusing on sustainable development.

“Arms merchants, construction companies… these collaborations aren’t bad. With stable supplies, the shops in various camps can be expanded, allowing for more undeads. Film production companies? Hmm, why is there a film production company?”

Bai Fu paused momentarily.

Gao Yuan quickly explained: “This is a film production company from the Railway Guild. They hope to produce your documentary. If possible, they also wish to invite you to participate in variety shows, release singles, and shoot movies.”

Bai Fu: “?”

You’re good at grabbing traffic!

However, this company’s proposal did genuinely attract her.

Singing, dancing, and rapping could wait for now since there was no time, but documentaries were definitely worth exploring.

Jiujiao and some players had already created analysis videos and introduction videos, generating significant positive publicity among the player community. If a complete documentary chronicling her rise from the abandoned cooling plant to defeating the Truth Society, along with her reconstruction plan for the Source Star, were produced, the promotional effect would undoubtedly be explosive.

The first NPC with a dedicated documentary, albeit made by other NPCs, wouldn’t that be impressive?

Once this popularity was stirred up, the official authorities would surely elevate her status further.

“Let’s talk to them. I’m interested in the documentary they mentioned.”

After discussing matters with Gao Yuan, Bai Fu moved on to her own affairs.

Her purpose in contacting Gao Yuan was simple: to organize a celebratory event following the elimination of the Truth Society, akin to those spontaneous events launched in games.

Named a celebration, its real intent was to cut the player’s韭菜 (grass).

Bai Fu planned to introduce new faction dungeons, new prayer cards, new store items, new discount activities, new lottery events, new quests, player knighting ceremonies, and the uniforms of the Silent Courtyard during the celebration.

She primarily sought to discuss the lottery event with Gao Yuan.

During the event period, players would receive a special gift box for every certain amount spent at Anya’s mysterious shop. These special gift boxes were actually blind boxes containing props and equipment of varying values, such as prayer cards, firearms, and Bai Fu’s almost-new nine-nine gear.

Since Bai Fu no longer needed these things, they could be stuffed into the blind boxes to entice players to spend extravagantly in the shop.

Note that the word “gift” was crucial!

In today’s era, if Bai Fu sold these blind boxes directly on the shelves, she would certainly be called a villainous merchant. Although many players might curse while buying, it would ultimately tarnish her reputation as a pure white hero, wouldn’t it?

Therefore, she changed selling the blind boxes individually to gifting them after spending a certain amount in the store, carefully packaging this behavior as a limited-time festival benefit.

Thus, players wouldn’t accuse her of being a villainous merchant but rather praise her, saying, “No wonder it’s Fu Fu, she has a big conscience.”

Actually, bundling sales like this would make her profit even more. Once players were stimulated by others opening “Bai Fu’s personal use nine-nine new xx,” they would inevitably spend more money on things they didn’t need, such as prayer cards, just to open the blind boxes.

Of course, these players wouldn’t lose too much. Prayer cards were currently in high demand, and if they themselves didn’t need them, they could resell them to other players at slightly lower prices to recover their costs.

Specific operations depended on them, but Bai Fu was bound to earn a lot.

To prevent still being criticized by players, Bai Fu also planned to push Gao Yuan to the forefront, claiming that Gao Yuan was the chief planner of the gift box activity.

“Let the players suffer, let Gao Yuan bear the blame!”

Bai Fu and Gao Yuan thoroughly discussed all the details of the celebration and then asked Gao Yuan to send her the design drawings of the Silent Courtyard uniform for review.

In her fabricated setting, the Silent Courtyard wasn’t an ordinary faction but one with mystical attributes tied to a certain ethereal existence. Therefore, she didn’t refer to the clothes she was wearing now when designing the uniform.

The basic version of the Silent Courtyard uniform was predominantly black, adorned with a light and wide-sleeved black mini-cloak. On the back of the cloak was printed a golden symbol of the Eye of Heaven and cryptic symbols that gave off a mysterious aura. When running, it gave the impression of gliding gracefully with the wind.

Since this outfit primarily served as a symbol of identity, Bai Fu didn’t consider whether players could engage in intense combat while wearing it. After all, normal spiritual prayer mages didn’t need to fight in close combat anyway.

“Let’s proceed with this design.”

After comparing several versions of the design, Bai Fu selected the one that looked the most appealing and sent it back to Gao Yuan. Future advanced versions would be adjusted based on this, adding additional accessories like crowns.

She also sent Gao Yuan a procurement list, instructing him to contact the Darknet and quickly purchase all the materials listed.

These materials were used to craft the Obsidian Scepter. As a quest reward for the beginner planet, all the materials required to craft the Obsidian Scepter could be collected on the Source Star.

The only tricky part was the contaminated core of high-level mutated creatures, which not all high-level mutated beings possessed. Bai Fu decided to personally lead the players in farming high-level mutated creatures to collect the necessary materials.

This was both to gather the materials for crafting the Obsidian Scepter and to train the players.

Defeating the Gene Progenitor would require the assistance of players, and once leaving the Source Star to venture into the starry sky, she would need a group of strong players. She couldn’t take players like Jiujiao alone, could she?

What she needed were useful fighters, not a cheerleading squad.

Upon receiving the task, Gao Yuan sprang into action immediately. His success depended entirely on how high Bai Fu could soar after eliminating the President of the Truth Society. Thus, he worked at full speed, contacting the people he had previously reached out to and summoning his subordinates.

“Find me a large stone, one that can be carved into a statue, bigger than the one that used to belong to the Silver Moon Court. Then find the best craftsmen you can!”

“Master, what are you doing?”

“The main force of the Silver Moon Court killed the President of the Truth Society, removing a menace from the Source Star. I want to present her with a grand gift. Go, don’t waste time.”

…

On the other side,

Bai Fu summoned Anya and handed her the potential enhancement potion.

Anya didn’t ask any unnecessary questions.

Given by the boss?

Down it in one gulp!

Stimulated by the potential enhancement potion, Anya rapidly crossed the threshold of advancement. Though her increased attribute points weren’t as many as Bai Fu’s, her Moonlit Dancer class successfully upgraded to Moonlit Dancer (Advanced) Lv9.

From the panel data, Anya had surpassed the average level of the first batch of players entering the game, but her practical combat ability was somewhat lacking.

“Let’s go out and practice sometime soon.”

Bai Fu patted Anya’s head.

“Good!” Anya was extremely excited.

Bai Fu said, “Now I have a new task for you.”

She informed Anya about the upcoming event at the Silent Courtyard. How could Anya’s Mysterious Shop operate without Anya?

Anya nodded repeatedly, having become very adept at dealing with players.

After sending Anya away, Bai Fu began the final preparations for the celebration event.

She first used the large terminal at home to read the data stolen from the Truth Society. While waiting for the data to load, she took out the blank reminiscence fragment obtained from the quest and began creating a new challenge dungeon.

The creation process was straightforward—just reference the previously made [Battle of Bagalos] dungeon. She had already planned the content of the dungeon. Considering both difficulty and promotion for the upcoming documentary, the Red Sand Camp Punishment Battle she waged upon arriving at the Goli Desert to prove her strength to Elder Nissen was the most suitable choice.

[Challenge Dungeon (Silent Courtyard) – Punishment of the Red Sand Camp]

[Dungeon Introduction]: Upon arriving at the Goli Desert, Bai Fu discovered that the wanderers of the Red Sand Camp were mercilessly exploiting the civilians of Shelter No. 11. She detested such exploiters the most, so she decided to stand up against the Red Sand Camp. Now, you can travel back to that era and experience that fierce battle.



Fierce combat!

【Level Restriction】: Lv11～Lv30

【Number of Participants Restriction】: 1～30

The level restrictions for the Red Sand Camp instance are the same as Bagalos, but the number of participants has been increased from 15 to 30. In this instance, players only need to fight two bosses, but these two are very special – one is a martial artist, and the other is a psychic user. Individually, they are more troublesome than all the bosses in the Bagalos instance except Youlia’s decoy body. What makes things even worse is that there’s a significant chance they will team up without following martial ethics.

Considering Youlia’s decoy isn’t a mandatory boss to challenge, the difficulty of completing the Red Sand Camp is notably higher than Bagalos. This is why Bai Fu expanded the participant limit.

“Once the reputation of the Silent Courtyard rises further or we obtain new blank memory fragments, next we can proceed with the ambush on Graham.”

Bai Fu had already planned to make the Silent Courtyard’s challenge instances part of her rise-to-power story. This way, all future players joining the Silent Courtyard could learn about her through documentaries and the instances themselves.

Perhaps the documentary would even motivate players to challenge the instance and buy items from the instance shop.

After taking a bath, Bai Fu lay in bed for two hours. When she got up, the terminal had successfully read all the data.

“It’s time to reap the rewards.”

Her eyes gleaming, she rushed barefoot to the terminal without bothering to put on shoes or socks, eagerly beginning to study.

Because the volume of knowledge was immense, she didn’t finish until midnight.

Seeing the new entries pop up on her interface, Bai Fu smiled so much her eyes squinted.

“I’ve gained immensely from this, truly immense! The Truth Society lives up to its name, haha!”

She obtained a large amount of basic, advanced, and career-change knowledge books related to martial arts, mechanics, psionics, and spiritual energy, as well as several knowledge books for secondary professions. Additionally, she received three knowledge chains for physical cultivation and one for spiritual energy cultivation.

Not only could she use this knowledge herself, but she could also sell it in the instance shop to players.

Don’t underestimate these things; they are valuable “experience mines” that can continuously extract experience from players!

“Fill it up, fill it up!”

Bai Fu added all this knowledge to the pre-battle preparation shop of the challenge instance at once. Afterward, she directly launched the Red Sand Camp instance to attract players to explore.

With this knowledge, she now had ample confidence to fully upgrade the Spirit Painter profession before attacking the gene progenitor. If the players provided enough support, giving her more experience, she could also fully upgrade the [Spirit Repair] and [Heavenly Burial] skills, while synthesizing a few more prayer cards.

With this, she would have truly reached the peak of what she could achieve on Source Star, the beginner planet.

“The last stretch towards the throne.”

However, compared to these things that were merely visible but still out of reach, Bai Fu was more concerned about the two prompts that appeared after learning the new spiritual energy knowledge chain.

The first prompt indicated her初级 Knowledge Core (Spiritual Energy) had upgraded to the +1 version, increasing the effects of active spiritual energy skills and resistance by 10%.

The second prompt was more unique. During the 1.2 update, she underwent her third enhancement. The first adjustment informed her that she had reached a certain boundary, and by collecting more spiritual energy knowledge, she could unlock the spiritual energy attribute.

This prompt turned out to be correct.

【Your knowledge reserve has met the standard. You have the opportunity to unlock the spiritual energy attribute. Please choose one from the following attributes—】

【1. Blazing】

【2. Chromatic】

【3. Gray Mist】

【4. Dark】

【5. ……】

The game listed seven attributes in total, but there are actually more than seven types of spiritual energy attributes. These seven are just the ones Bai Fu might currently master.

Different spiritual energy attributes have different effects, which is a unique gameplay mechanic for spiritual energy classes. However, upon closer inspection, it’s not entirely unique, as attributes are similar to those of psionic abilities, mechanical energy, and kinetic branches.

Blazing attributes provide higher bonuses for positive type spiritual prayers, Chromatic enhances illusions, and Gray Mist enhances control.

Among the seven attributes, Bai Fu immediately chose Dark.

This attribute suited her perfectly.

Firstly, after converting to the Dark attribute, using the Dark Burn skill wouldn’t deduct health points anymore, and the skill effect would be further enhanced.

Secondly, the Dark attribute focuses on weakening opponents, which suits her style since she prefers sneaky tactics over supporting teammates.

Lastly, the Dark attribute aligns with the character she envisioned for herself. Combining the Dark attribute with the Astral race, the twin sister setup of Bai Fu and He Fu, and surpassing the limits of Source Star in terms of level and stats, when these elements are presented to players, it would be hard for them not to believe she is the Sovereign of the Night.

“That’s exactly the effect I wanted!”

After selecting the attribute, Bai Fu received a breakthrough quest.

The quest content was simple: defeat a high-level monster, and the reward would be unlocking the Dark attribute.

If she didn’t have a player panel and was like other NPCs, even if she mastered six spiritual energy knowledge chains, unlocking the Dark attribute would be difficult. It would either require an epiphany or a sudden breakthrough during battle.

But with the player panel, everything became easier. Accumulating experience, completing quests, and meeting conditions allowed her to instantly ascend, with no risk of failure.

“This task can be combined with the collection of the pollution core needed for the Dark Scepter from a high-level mutated creature.”

Bai Fu turned off the terminal, stretching lazily with a pleasant mood.

The rewards obtained from defeating the Truth Society were just the beginning; better days awaited her.

As Bai Fu quietly waited for dawn, the player community, accustomed to being night owls, erupted into a new wave of discussion.

【Breaking news, breaking news! The Silent Courtyard has released a new faction challenge instance!】

All players were pleasantly surprised to find a new instance called 【Purge the Red Sand Camp】had appeared in the Silent Courtyard.

When the 1.2 version was launched, the Bagalos instance drew the attention of countless players. At that time, both the Iron Rain Guild and Zhongyi Hall organized their guild’s elite players to challenge the instance. It took a whole month for Iron Rain Guild, with the help of Pai Da Xing, a passerby expert who unlocked a hidden class, to clear the Bagalos instance, etching their guild’s name forever onto the first-clear record.

This caused quite a stir.

Because the Bagalos instance was the first high-difficulty instance cleared by players, and the competition between Iron Rain and Zhongyi Hall generated a lot of buzz.

Iron Rain and Zhongyi Hall were old rivals, so Iron Rain’s victory naturally irritated Zhongyi Hall. As expected, during the subsequent period, Zhongyi Hall kept challenging the Bagalos instance. Since they failed to secure the first-clear, they aimed for the fastest-clear instead?

The two guilds fought for a long time, each having their moments of success, until the Purge the Red Sand Camp instance grandly appeared.

【I smell gunpowder】

【Fight, fight! My favorite speed-running segment is here】

Just as most players expected, the Iron Rain Guild and Zhongyi Hall were the first to step forward.

Sword Aura Sky Piercing: 【We Iron Rain are determined to secure the first-clear record of the new instance!】

Black Warrior: 【Losing to Iron Rain last time was just an accident. We didn’t expect them to seek external help. This time, we are confident to take the first place】

The two constantly mocked each other, giving other players the feeling of watching a pre-fight trash-talking session in a fighting match, exciting and entertaining, completely maximizing the topic’s popularity.

Who would win?

The result shocked everyone. Both Iron Rain and Zhongyi Hall, brimming with confidence, entered the instance only to be utterly defeated, unable to last even ten minutes.

Area-of-effect psychic attacks were terrifying. One skill hit and most players were frozen in place, helplessly watching as the martial artist boss came over to finish them off.

【Holy crap, back then Fu Fu took down these two bosses in seconds. I thought they were easy, but turns out these guys are so scary】

【Dumbass, that’s Fu Fu, the top expert on Source Star. Comparing yourself to Fu Fu is kind of ridiculous】

【Damn, isn’t this new instance too difficult? The stuff sold in the shop is useless】

【Useless or not, look quick, there are many new items in the shop: new prayer cards, new knowledge, new career-change knowledge books, holy cow, even new knowledge chains!】

The disputes between Iron Rain and Zhongyi Hall made more players notice the goods in the Silent Courtyard instance’s store.

Their eyes turned red upon seeing them.

【Even the Mechanic Engineer’s career-change knowledge book is available】

【Holy cow, three physical cultivation knowledge chains are newly listed. Players playing the martial artist class are going to benefit greatly!】

【Fu Fu is awesome (voice cracked)】

【I want to join the Silent Courtyard, I want to join right now!】

Bai Fu’s round of publicity was explosive.

Originally, players who didn’t join the Silent Courtyard because they disliked the spiritual energy class were now tempted after seeing the goods in the store.

【Although Elder Sister Su Li is great, thinking carefully, Fu Fu is still more appealing. Sorry, Elder Sister Su Li!】

【Bye, Elder Sister Su Li. I’m going to pursue my true love. I’ll visit you when I have the chance】

Su Li was confused late at night.

Shit, all the undead people she gathered with great effort suddenly left in droves!

She quickly caught the remaining undead to inquire about the situation. Asking them was bad enough, but after asking, she almost fainted.

“You again, Bai Fu!”

After communicating with the higher-ups of the Railway Guild, Su Li rushed to Bai Fu’s town by helicopter overnight.

“Bai Fu, you damned succubus ah ah ah ah ah!”

She loudly accused Bai Fu on her personal terminal.

Bai Fu was bewildered: “I don’t think I seduced you, did I?”

Su Li started talking nonsense: “If you seduced me, it would be fine, I wouldn’t say anything. But… but… aaaah, all the undead ran away, to your Silent Courtyard!”

Bai Fu shrugged helplessly.

Is it my fault?

That’s how good-looking NPCs who understand players’ hearts behave!

“Good girl, when you come to the Silent Courtyard, mom will give you a warm hug to comfort your wounded heart.”

“Go to hell.”

“Don’t mind then. But you specifically came here, surely it’s not just to complain about this, right?” Bai Fu returned to seriousness.

Su Li nodded, resentfully saying: “Isn’t it because you suddenly killed the President of the Truth Society, intimidating everyone? Now I don’t know how to interact with you. Should I treat you like before, or should I wear a maid outfit and say, ‘Your Majesty, Lily is always ready to serve you.'”

“Pfft pfft pfft, don’t be disgusting.” Bai Fu rolled her eyes. “What does the Railway Guild want to discuss with me?”

“With your strength, the higher-ups are wary of you. They don’t dare to provoke you, so they want to discuss matters related to the undead with you, roughly hiring your undead followers to execute some dangerous missions.”

Oh?

Bai Fu immediately became interested: “Let’s talk in person.”

“Wait for me, I’ll be at your doorstep tonight.”

They ended the call.

Bai Fu sat in the room for a while longer. When dawn broke, she first checked on Youlia who was still sleeping soundly, then went to the central square of Bai Fu Town.

Last time, she held a monument erection ceremony here, deeply moving the players. This time, she announced that the Silent Courtyard would hold a five-day celebration event here.

“Without your consistent support and the distractions you created on the main battlefield, I would never have achieved such a tremendous success this time!”

After delivering a passionate speech full of praise for the players, Bai Fu led Tai Ergen, Silver Wing Assassin, and others onto the stage, publicly praising Tai Ergen’s great contributions and the wise decisions of Silver Wing Assassin and others to switch sides.

Secret yet magnificent!

The players on the square were stunned, and so were the players in the live streams and communities.

【Holy cow, is this guy here to act in a spy thriller?】

【Wow, this playstyle is so interesting, learned a lot】

【Too strong, having the opportunity to directly join the Silent Courtyard but choosing to infiltrate the Truth Society shows real expertise】

【Brothers, check the level ranking board, the first place changed, it’s Tai Ergen now. Holy crap, the first player to reach level 25, he’s making a killing!】

Players quickly opened the level ranking board and found it to be true. Not long ago, Tai Ergen’s name wasn’t even on the list, but just now, Tai Ergen directly jumped to the first place.

Remaining undercover for half a year without anyone knowing, his sudden appearance shocked the world!

Tai Ergen’s story spread rapidly like a solar storm throughout the game, from live streams to video websites to chat groups, with countless discussions about him.

His breakout brought Bai Fu into the spotlight as well, because her name was impossible to avoid when discussing his story.

【Is this game so interesting?】

【Whoa, intriguing woman】

A wave of widespread attention boosted Bai Fu’s popularity dramatically and attracted another batch of new players to Bai Fu Town.

Bai Fu was delighted.

“Welcome to Bai Fu’s secret garden, become the aid on Bai Fu’s path to kingship!”

I found reference images for what Bai Fu is wearing now across a few chapters, but I haven’t figured out how to post pictures yet. Let me research it a bit more.
