Loading into History, the Reunion of Player and Bai Fu in the Star Ocean! [55k]
In a place without outsiders, Bai Fu pulled out the Evolution Tree of Psychic Powers chart.
Compared to when she had collected three new psychic powers, the chart had undergone noticeable changes.
Firstly, three new branches had appeared in the upper left corner of the chart, each representing a newly recorded psychic power.
Secondly, a special inverted triangle symbol had appeared on the trunk of the tree in the center of the chart, with floating game instructions next to it—
[Exclusive Ability 1: Copy (Blank)]
Lastly, the description of the chart had changed slightly.
[Evolution Tree of Psychic Powers]
[Quality]: Orange (+)
[Description]: A special item obtained from the King of Psychic Powers, it records the characteristics and evolutionary directions of numerous psychic powers. It seems to be slumbering with extraordinary power, awaiting unlocking.
[Additional Effect]: Exclusive Ability – Copy
[Note]: This item is an S-class item from Jin Gu Star.
Bai Fu tapped the “+” sign after the orange “Orange” word as before, and instantly, the game prompt sounded in her ears again.
[You have triggered the hidden quest [Evolution Tree of Psychic Powers (One)]]
[Introduction]: After relentless efforts, you successfully awakened one of the powers contained within the Evolution Tree of Psychic Powers chart. This is a trial, and now that you have passed the trial, you have earned the recognition of the Evolution Tree of Psychic Powers. Try helping the chart recover more power.
[Objective]: Collect a total of 10 new psychic powers with a rating no lower than A (Current Progress: 3/10)
[Reward]: 30 million experience points, random attribute blessing, link degree of Supernatural Garden +10
[Note]: This is a chained quest; the next phase can only be triggered upon completing this task.
“Another hidden quest? An S-class item from the Newbie Planet triggering a hidden quest… It feels like this task isn’t simple.”
Bai Fu quickly scanned through the task content, and her eyes eventually settled on the words [Supernatural Garden].
It seemed like something incredible?
She connected to the Star Network and searched for [Supernatural Garden].
Actually, she didn’t expect to find anything, but the search results completely exceeded her expectations. There were actually a large number of materials related to the Supernatural Garden online.
The Supernatural Garden was a cosmic-level force, comparable to the Rebirth Empire, Titan Industries, and the Super Nova Task Force!
It was active ten thousand years ago. At that time, the three major cosmic-level civilizations—the Rebirth Empire, et al.—were unable to defeat each other, so they signed the Interstellar Peace Treaty at the negotiating table, ending the long war and beginning to focus their efforts on exploring the Dark Domain.
This was the Age of Progress.
During the Age of Progress, a Rebirth Empire expedition team discovered the Dark Domain civilization known as the Supernatural Garden. Subsequently, war broke out.
By now, no one could say for sure who started the war.
In any case, initially, the Rebirth Empire thought the war would end soon. But as the Supernatural Garden continued to play its trump cards, they realized they were up against a cosmic-level force that was no weaker than themselves!
The Supernatural Garden had 14 Overlords or higher, although their fleet numbers did not match those of the Rebirth Empire, they were sturdy and durable.
Clearly, such a powerful Supernatural Garden could not be defeated by the Rebirth Empire alone. In the stalemate that ensued, the Rebirth Empire had to invite former arch-rivals, Titan Industries and Super Nova Task Force, to join the war.
Facing the simultaneous attack of three cosmic-level forces, the Supernatural Garden ultimately fell. The territories ruled by the Supernatural Garden were divided among the three cosmic-level forces. The Rebirth Empire named the area it occupied as [Star Ring Island].
Bai Fu sifted through the vast amount of information and finally found what she was looking for.
According to records, the Supernatural Garden was a super-civilization built by psychics. During its development, the Supernatural Garden gathered the wisdom of the entire civilization to create a cosmic treasure called the [Evolution Tree of Psychic Powers].
The Evolution Tree of Psychic Powers recorded all the psychic powers that had ever appeared in the Supernatural Garden’s history and categorized them, connecting them into a vast network with many unimaginable abilities.
The Supernatural Garden built the Evolution Tree of Psychic Powers hoping to explore the source of psychic powers and pursue power beyond the Ultra-Class.
But their plan ultimately failed because the Evolution Tree of Psychic Powers itself had not evolved to its full potential, and their entire civilization perished.
“This hidden quest actually involves a cosmic-level force that has already been destroyed?”
Bai Fu’s eyelids twitched.
She had a premonition that this hidden quest might be related to the main quests starting from version 3.0, or even version 4.0 and beyond!
“The value of this thing might be much greater than I imagined. If anyone else recognizes it, there could be big trouble.”
With this thought, Bai Fu hurriedly put the chart back into her personal space.
“What’s wrong? Is something off?”
Tessia noticed Bai Fu’s unusual behavior.
Bai Fu calmed herself down and explained, “The gains this time are far greater than I expected. If we can successfully restore the power of that chart, not only will we solve the spider problem on you, but your abilities might also advance further.”
Really?
Tessia’s eyes immediately lit up.
Her current state was entirely due to the spider that had fused with her.
While the spider gave her extraordinary power, it also branded her as a monster. She had hardly been truly happy since then, often dreaming of being disemboweled by spiders and devoured.
Fear, inferiority…
Growing up with these twisted emotions, Tessia naturally became a twisted person.
Now hearing there might be a chance to truly break free from the spider’s control, she couldn’t help but feel happy.
“How do we do it?”
Bai Fu said, “Just continue collecting rare psychic powers.”
Tessia nodded hastily, “I’ll keep an eye out.”
Bai Fu thanked her, then she pulled up the new ability [Copy] unlocked from the chart and checked the detailed explanation.
[Copy] can only replicate skills from targets whose main profession levels are no more than 10 levels higher than hers. Once successfully copied, she can use the replicated skill without any cost. Skills can be reused, but each use requires recharging, which depends on the number of psychic powers recorded in the chart. The more psychic powers recorded, the shorter the recharge time.
Not higher than 10 levels?
Tessia’s main profession level wasn’t just 10 levels higher than hers?
Bai Fu used the [Copy] ability on Tessia, and soon received a notification that the [Life Drain] had been successfully copied.
[Life Drain]: Drains life values from all designated targets within a 5km radius, the efficiency depending on the difference in constitution between both parties.
In Tessia’s hands, this skill was absolutely divine.
In a frail mage’s hands, however, the effect would be greatly reduced. If the opponents were few and tough, the skill would become useless.
However, it was worth noting that Bai Fu wasn’t an ordinary “frail mage”; she was a “frail mage” with added constitution, supported by players.
She could use the [Life Drain] on players following her, treating them as blood bags to replenish her own health.
She had already drained players’ experience so much; draining their blood wouldn’t be a problem, right?
Bai Fu didn’t think this would cause players to resent her. She wasn’t draining their blood every day, only occasionally.
Besides, she was doing this not for fun but to win battles and complete missions. Once she won and completed her tasks, even a little bit of the spoils would be enough to satisfy players whose average level was still under 35.
This would be using blood for experience. Players might even beg her to drain them.
[FuFu, don’t hold back, give it your all!]
Bai Fu happily closed the interface for the [Copy] function.
“Let’s go back.”
Tessia didn’t rush off, instead asking, “Are you going to the five locations marked by me to find the dissociative medication prototype?”
Bai Fu nodded, “That’s the plan. Do you want to come along?”
Tessia replied, “Yes.”
Bai Fu decisively refused, “No, you shouldn’t get involved. With all the losses you’ve suffered recently, the Secret Tower probably hates you already. If they know you’re around, they might send people to kill you at any cost.”
Tessia was taken aback.
Indeed.
If she acted with Bai Fu, it would only complicate things for Bai Fu. Instead of wasting time with her, it would be better to take the undead soldiers Bai Fu brought and look for trouble with the Secret Tower elsewhere.
After returning to Tessia’s temporary residence, Bai Fu formally introduced the players she had brought via spaceship to Tessia.
Once introductions were made, it was time to bid farewell to Tessia.
Time waits for no one.
After the Jin Gu Star incident, Tessia had become a thorn in the Secret Tower’s side. She was no different.
Given the Secret Tower’s master’s vengeful nature, once an opportunity arose, they would surely launch a fierce attack. She must raise her strength to S+ level before the retaliation came.
Although Tessia wanted to eat Bai Fu every day, given the situation with the Secret Tower, she did not insist on keeping Bai Fu. She only asked Bai Fu to take more photos for her, as constantly casting spells on the same photo would eventually become tiresome.
“By the way, there’s a question… Never mind, it’s fine.”
Tessia actually wanted to ask Bai Fu where she learned so many techniques. If not for those techniques, she wouldn’t have been beaten so badly by Bai Fu. However, she realized she was asking a foolish question.
Where did she learn them?
There was no need to think about it; it must have been Youlia and Scarlet Leaf teaching her.
When Bai Fu wasn’t around, she likely sparred a lot with Youlia and Scarlet Leaf.
Boom!
A murderous intent surged in Tessia’s heart, but she quickly suppressed it.
Times had changed. In the past, killing Youlia and Scarlet Leaf would have caused her no psychological burden. Now, however, she had to consider how Bai Fu viewed her.
Though she couldn’t physically destroy them, she thought of a way to retaliate.
Destroying their physical bodies was impossible, so she would strike at their spirits!
From now on, she would train hard until Bai Fu couldn’t live without her, and no one else could be accepted except her. Then, she would show Bai Fu’s subjugated appearance in front of Youlia and Scarlet Leaf…
“You want to compete with me? This is your fate!”
…
Seven days later.
At the Initial Gateway Star Cluster Subdivision Port.
Fine rain like silk threads floated in the air, and the air carried a bone-chilling cold.
Half an hour earlier, Bai Fu had arrived here with Anya, Youlia, and Xia Shi, waiting for the first batch of players transported from the Source Star by Green Mud’s transport fleet. Four ships, carrying 42,000 people.
At 11:07, Xia Shi suddenly looked up.
“They’re here!”
Hardly had the words left her mouth when a disc-shaped cargo ship emerged from behind the clouds.
They had arrived. After crossing millions of light-years, after days of anticipation, and after showing off in the community, the first group of Source Star players who boarded the cargo ship finally reached their destination!
At this moment, all the players on the cargo ship crowded to the portholes.
With excitement, they looked around. Their eyes swept over the towering broadcast signal building, the ship maintenance station, and the port docking points. Soon, someone in the crowd shouted.
“Hey hey hey, am I seeing this right? Isn’t that Bai Fu standing over there?”
“Where? Where?”
“Damn, it really is Bai Fu, and Anya, Youlia, and Xia Shi are there too!”
“What are they doing standing there?”
“I mean, is it possible that Bai Fu is actually waiting for us?”
When these words were spoken, the players inside the ship all became excited.
This wasn’t an illusion, nor was it a dream. They were really going to reunite with Bai Fu!
Even though the rewards for rebuilding tasks on the Source Star were generous, what good were those rewards compared to this?
Playing games was about happiness!
The Source Star players never forgot the joy they felt when Bai Fu left the Source Star.
They often recalled the scenes where they fought the Wildfire Gang with Bai Fu in the abandoned cooling plant;
they often remembered the sight of Bai Fu driving toward the sunset while fighting the amoeba invasion;
they often remembered the scene of Bai Fu setting up a memorial plaque for the players in the abandoned cooling plant, which moved them deeply;
they often remembered the passion they felt when following Bai Fu to fight the Truth Society and Gene Progenitor to the end;
of course, the most unforgettable thing was the joy of easily earning a large amount of experience just by following Bai Fu.
Emotions lingered, but alas, the person bringing those emotions was no longer by their side. To see that person, they could only watch the live stream or visit the community.
A year had passed, and they hadn’t seen Bai Fu in person for a whole year.
“Do you know how I spent this year?”
Fortunately, after enduring a difficult year, they finally saw Bai Fu again.
“Bai Fu, I missed you so much!”
In the midst of wailing, the four ships landed one by one at the port. Bai Fu stood precisely where the doors of the four ships aligned.
As the doors opened and the players walked out, Bai Fu’s face was filled with a warm smile, just as it had been a year or two ago. Then, she shouted loudly.
“Everyone, long time no see, welcome to the Star Ocean!”
Indeed, Bai Fu had come specifically to meet the players!
After this was confirmed, the players in the port couldn’t help but cheer loudly.
“Bai Fu! Bai Fu!”
This was a reunion!
The players thought this reunion would bring them joy, but they soon realized they had underestimated Bai Fu.
“You are… Coffee Without Sugar, I remember you, we once attacked the Marine Life Research Institute together!”
“Happy Every Day, during my absence, you didn’t slack on training, and now you’ve become a B-class psychic. Congratulations!”
“I certainly remember you. To be precise, how could I forget your name, Lotus Fragrance Water, I personally carved your name on the monument in the abandoned cooling plant. It’s great to see you again.”
Bai Fu accurately called out the names of every player who appeared in front of her and even remembered most of their achievements.
This performance stunned all the players.
The players present were not the only ones amazed; those watching the live stream were equally astonished.
[Bai Fu actually remembers every player?]
[Holy cow, no lines are repeated, Bai Fu truly remembers everyone.]
[This gaming experience, this emotional value, this… Ah ah ah, Bai Fu, my Bai Fu!]
[Damn, if an NPC treated me like this, I’d be her dog!]
The players had not experienced a reunion with important NPCs in other games, but this experience was truly unique.
Amazing, incredibly amazing!
Before the reunion ended, many casual players and game influencers stepped forward. They captured the live footage, added touching background music, and narrated with deep voices.
[I’m certain that this scene will be remembered by countless players for decades to come!]
[Above the Stars, the first virtual reality MMO for young people, Bai Fu, the first white moonlight in games for young people!]
[I have fallen deeply in love, from now on, I only support Bai Fu!]
Live streams, game communities, video websites—this moment, almost all players above the stars were discussing Bai Fu.
[The Star Ocean is vast, vast enough to make one lost, but with Bai Fu around, there’s nothing to fear!]
How could the players have known that Bai Fu could see the names they wore on their heads and even search for their past experiences in the community?
This wave, Bai Fu directly skyrocketed the players’ affinity.
Would players, charmed by Bai Fu, be lured away by the allure of the Star Ocean?
Not just the players, but the Onlooker, Lemang, and Scarlet Leaf, observing from afar, were also speechless with shock at Bai Fu’s performance.
What a terrifying woman!
At this moment, they finally understood why players were willing to follow Bai Fu with unwavering loyalty!
Holy Maiden?
Two words were insufficient to describe Bai Fu.
She was a rare existence, unprecedented in the Star Ocean.
After fully engaging the players’ emotions, Bai Fu summoned a large number of Small Black Fufu to guide the players through the Initial Gateway Star Cluster Subdivision environment. Then, she announced a significant piece of news.
“Children, since you’re here, let’s do something interesting.”
“After a year, releasing new quests for the Silent Courtyard—”
[You have triggered the faction quest [Scattered Prototypes]]
Bai Fu issued this quest to every player currently in the subdivision, with the objective of assisting her in obtaining the dissociative medication prototype. To prevent the people at the five locations marked by Tessia from fleeing, she planned to divide the players into five teams, each following her, Anya, Youlia, Scarlet Leaf, Xia Shi, and Wei Ke to launch an assault on the five locations simultaneously.
[Back, I feel everything is back!]
Receiving a quest upon arriving in the Star Ocean, these players from the Source Star didn’t feel any resistance. Instead, they were all fired up.
Back then, they followed Bai Fu step by step, fighting their way to make her the Queen of the Source Star.
Now, it was time for them to rely on their own strength to make Bai Fu the Queen of the Initial Gateway Star Cluster!
Secret Tower, you bullied Bai Fu, did you?
We couldn’t do anything when we weren’t in the Star Ocean, but now we’re here, you won’t have a good outcome!
