Chapter 25: A Win-Win Situation, Twice for Bai Fu!

The night was as dark as ink, with the sky hanging low.

Outside the temporary base constructed by the players.

The head of the Field Operations Department looked up at the moon, obscured by clouds as if draped in a black gauze veil.

“It’s been about ten minutes, hasn’t it?”

The main objective of this operation was not just to trap Bai Fu, but primarily to thoroughly destroy the temporary base constructed by outsiders, and to crush their arrogant and overbearing demeanor.

“Notify everyone, we’re officially starting the operation.”

“Understood.”

As the second signal flare shot into the sky, leaving a bright red spot in the night, members of the Wildfire Gang, who had been lying in wait, rushed out from behind their cover. They quickly approached the base.

The head of the Field Operations Department shouted loudly, “Give me…”

“Stop!”

He didn’t manage to shout the word “give” because it was cut off by a loud voice coming from inside the room.

The Field Operations Department head, who had experienced an abrupt halt, turned pale with rage.

He glared fiercely at the entrance of the base.

Soon, four people emerged from the player’s base. Leading them was Bai Fu, her hands bound, covered in dust and grime.

Wait, Bai Fu, how is she still alive?

The Field Operations Department head’s pupils dilated sharply.

With everyone watching, Jiujiao pressed a knife against Bai Fu’s waist, “Whoever dares to take another step forward will have her killed. Don’t tell me you don’t care about your own comrades’ lives?”

This threat caused the eager Wildfire Gang members to stop in their tracks.

“How did Bai Fu get there?”

All eyes turned to the Field Operations Department head. No one dared to be the first to act.

The Field Operations Department head remained silent.

The situation had completely deviated from his expectations. In the past, he wouldn’t have cared much about Bai Fu’s life or death, but now things were different.

On one hand, the boss was very concerned about Bai Fu.

On the other hand, the Wildfire Gang’s morale was somewhat unstable. If he allowed these outsiders to kill Bai Fu in front of everyone, those who didn’t know the truth might start to harbor doubts.

Today you can sacrifice Bai Fu without hesitation, but tomorrow could it be me?

This would only further destabilize the group’s morale.

The Field Operations Department head quickly signaled the four people acting alongside Bai Fu, but they seemed oblivious, almost lowering their heads to the ground.

Killing Bai Fu would be easy, but who would take responsibility when the boss questioned them afterward?

Damn it, Cao Wenliang has really given him a tough problem.

The Field Operations Department head’s expression was a mix of emotions.

Just as he was thinking of a strategy, Bai Fu suddenly shouted:

“Don’t worry about me, they won’t let me go anyway. Whether I live or die, just hurry up and act!”

“You… shut up! Shut up!”

Jiujiao, seemingly unprepared for Bai Fu’s outburst, quickly tried to cover her mouth.

“What are you all waiting for? We finally got this chance. Are you going to just watch them escape?”

Bai Fu struggled violently. Even with Jiujiao and the Calamity Dragon working together, they couldn’t subdue her.

In the end, Jiujiao had to strike her neck with the back of her hand.

Bai Fu fell to the ground.

“Drag her back, drag her back quickly.”

The Calamity Dragon hurriedly helped drag Bai Fu back into the house.

This?

All the Wildfire Gang members were stunned, and their gazes returned to the Field Operations Department head.

The Field Operations Department head was also shocked. He never expected Bai Fu to directly challenge them, which filled him with great joy after the initial shock.

Isn’t this the perfect opportunity?

Now it wasn’t that he wanted to kill Bai Fu; rather, Bai Fu was sacrificing herself for the greater good. Who could blame him for that?

She’s truly foolish and naive!

To be honest, if Cao Wenliang hadn’t given him many benefits, he might not have wanted to kill Bai Fu anymore.

People in their line of work might consider someone like Bai Fu foolish, but in critical moments, who doesn’t hope to have a comrade like Bai Fu by their side?

The Field Operations Department head raised his right hand high and shouted, “Brothers, we cannot let Bai Fu’s sacrifice be in vain. Charge with me and wipe out these outsiders!”

As he shouted, the Wildfire Gang members all entered a state of heightened aggression.

Over the past few days, they had been frustrated by these outsiders. Now, these outsiders were tormenting Bai Fu in front of them.

“Wipe them out!”

“…”

The players in the base had strange expressions on their faces.

They couldn’t let Bai Fu’s sacrifice be in vain?

Oh, you’re talking about the words we just said!

But now isn’t the time to dwell on such matters. The Wildfire Gang had already attacked.

Pai Da Xing, as the overall commander, shouted, “Proceed according to plan!”

No sooner had he spoken than several players charged from the top of the third floor.

“Haha, hot water is coming!”

A few buckets of boiling water were poured down, drenching the front-line attackers of the Wildfire Gang, causing them to scream in pain.

But this was just the beginning. As the hot water group retreated, the fishing net group and the snipers hiding behind windows moved in.

“Move aside!”

The Field Operations Department head quickly pulled out a gun from his pocket.

Bang!

A player on the roof fell to the ground, with a massive damage value of “-30” floating above his head.

“Damn, he has a gun!”

“Ah, I can’t move, I’m dying.”

“Brother, rest in peace. I’ll take your equipment and continue fighting.”

“You bastard, don’t touch my equipment!”

The players on the roof continued to throw things downstairs while joking around, showing no signs of urgency.

Why are they so calm?

The Field Operations Department head lowered his gun, aiming to eliminate Pai Da Xing first. But seeing Pai Da Xing pull out a gun, he had already retreated back into the house.

[Split up, try not to fight them in open areas]

The first wave of attacks by the players only resulted in two actual casualties for the Wildfire Gang. Soon, both sides entered a street battle phase.

Pai Da Xing led several high-level warrior-type players in local skirmishes where they outnumbered their opponents.

Jiujiao and others who were not skilled in combat took on the role of bait.

Meanwhile, Bai Fu hid in the shadows, acting as a control mage, applying frenzied buffs to everyone’s stomachs.

She currently had 55 points of spiritual energy. Each frenzied buff consumed 1 point of spiritual energy per minute. Under normal circumstances, with the elite status of the Wildfire Gang members, they would start feeling stomach discomfort after three to four minutes.

This meant that without using her 【Innate Spirituality】 skill to convert health points into spiritual energy, she could control up to ten people simultaneously.

But Bai Fu didn’t go all out. She selected five of the strongest targets and saved the rest of her spiritual energy for unexpected situations.

Fight, fight, the more intense the fight, the faster their stomachs would hurt.

Bai Fu lay in wait, pretending to be dead, watching the chaos unfold.

“Idiot, do you think you can catch your father?”

“Si, what did you think of the taste of the shit I fed you last time?”

The players’ taunts were effective.

“Chris, remember to leave that red star-headed player for me. Last time he called me impotent, saying I became a supervisor by selling myself to the boss. I’ll make sure to beat him until he’s unrecognizable!”

“That’s nothing. They even blew up the toilet when I was using it. Haha, hahaha, I want them all dead!”

A few Wildfire Gang members chased relentlessly.

As they pursued, the leading member suddenly fell into a concealed pit covered with weeds.

“Damn!”

Intense pain shot through his foot. Before he could climb out, Guīyī Wǒ Fú jumped down from above, holding a large iron rod smeared with golden liquid.

“Taste my big sword!”

Don’t come closer!

Seeing the flying golden liquid, the trapped member desperately tried to dodge, but there was no space in the small pit.

Crack!

Guīyī Wǒ Fú’s golden liquid staff struck his face squarely.

“-15”

It was a critical hit, affecting both his health and spirit.

Jiujiao: “Ugh!”

Calamity Dragon: “No matter how many times I see it, it’s still unbelievable.”

“Ahh, I’ll kill you all!”

A few lucky members who avoided the pit went berserk, chasing and beating the players in front of them.

The level difference between the early-stage 3rd and 4th levels was too significant. The players’ traps were insufficient, and after taking out an elite monster unexpectedly, they couldn’t engage in direct combat and had to flee.

“Go upstairs, hurry up!”

“Trying to run?”

Both sides engaged in another round of mind games around the stairs.

Due to increased vigilance, the pursuing Wildfire Gang members weren’t seriously injured. After a chase, they finally cornered Jiujiao and others on the roof.

“Run, ha ha, why aren’t you running anymore?”

A Wildfire Gang member laughed as he approached the breathless Jiujiao, waving his knife triumphantly.

“I’ll peel off your skin piece by piece, let you feel unbearable pain… damn, my stomach, what’s happening…”

Laughing, he suddenly clutched his stomach.

Guīyī Wǒ Fú’s eyes lit up. This was the moment. Every Wildfire Gang member eliminated made Fufu safer. Charge!

Without a word, he rushed forward, colliding with the Wildfire Gang member.


[You have killed the Wildfire Gang leader (elite), contribution 100%, after adjusting for level differences, you gained 540 experience points]

Bai Fu wiped the blood from her knife and continued searching for the next target. Soon, she found a wounded member of the Wildfire Gang.

“Follow me, this way.”

“Bai Fu? You’re not dead? How did you…”

“Someone kicked me as I woke up. I managed to free myself from the ropes. Come on, let’s go. I’ll take you out first, then return for the others.”

“Thank you, thank you. Without you, I might have died here today.”

The injured member was deeply moved and followed her immediately.

Bai Fu’s figure wasn’t particularly imposing, but thinking about recent events, he felt an unprecedented sense of security.

This time, Bai Fu didn’t kill anyone because she needed a witness.

After escorting the injured member out, she quietly circled back to the main gate.

At this moment, the battle near the main gate had temporarily subsided. The Field Operations Department head had taken down over twenty players.

Given his stats, even with players like Pai Da Xing and Black Tiger Afu, and constant reinforcements, he still barely sustained any injuries.

After all, each hit from a player dealt only one or two points of damage, while he dealt over ten to twenty points.

But suddenly, he felt discomfort in his gut and was hit in the knee by a player’s arrow.

The knee injury hindered his movement, making it difficult to quickly finish off the players. In the ensuing struggle, his injuries accumulated, making him feel increasingly weak.

“Damn, too strong, this is beyond our level.”

“Don’t be so confident, once I get the materials, I’ll make a dirt bomb to blow you up!”

“Ahhh, my right hand, my royal power!”

Bai Fu saw a player with a severed right hand rolling on the ground.

She hurriedly shouted at the Field Operations Department head, “Minister!”

“Bai Fu? Why are you here?”

Like the others, the Field Operations Department head was stunned to see Bai Fu.

“Minister, don’t worry about me. The outsiders’ reinforcements have arrived. We can’t afford to keep fighting. Let’s retreat, I’ll cover you!”

The Field Operations Department head turned his head.

He faintly heard cries from afar.

“Damn, the Wildfire Gang likes to ambush. Everyone, attack them!”

These outsiders were relentless.

These outsiders were relentless.

Anger aside, the Field Operations Department head felt relieved. Although Bai Fu wasn’t strong, she was the kind who would never betray. With her covering their retreat, there was an added layer of safety.

“Let’s go!”

He limped towards Bai Fu.

Seeing his relieved expression, Bai Fu clenched her fist tightly.

It’s settled.

To the players, she was a good person who provided crucial information and considered the players’ interests.

To the Wildfire Gang, she was a loyal member who would rather die than betray the gang.

Doing one thing, gaining two sets of goodwill. What is this called? A win-win situation!

PS: Merged into one chapter.

Thanks to Master Ge Shui Li Yue for the silver alliance. Ahh, at first, I thought I was seeing things, but it was really a silver alliance. I write very slowly, and during the day, I have other things to attend to, but I will try my best to add ten chapters before the book goes live.

Thanks to ANR_Anran and Yao Duo for their support.

Who Made Her an NPC?!

Who Made Her an NPC?!

Status: Ongoing

What should you do if you suddenly transform into a random NPC in the beginner’s village—one who could die at any moment?

At first, Bai Fu was just trying to survive. She farmed goodwill from players, hoping to use their power to suppress the NPCs who were giving her trouble. But she didn’t expect to overdo it.

From "the players' most reliable support" to "the lonely guardian of the border", and finally to "the first saint in the empire’s turbulent era", the players, in their sheer enthusiasm, hoisted her all the way to divinity.

In the empire’s thirtieth millennium, a former emperor—who preferred to remain anonymous—spoke out in a heated interview:

"Those damn immortals charged into the palace, shouting about friendship and bonds, and forcibly placed my crown on that demon Bai Fu’s head. It’s a crime against nature!"

Bai Fu, in response to these accusations, was indignant.

"A demon? Me? From start to finish, I’ve always preached love and justice. Don’t slander me with baseless claims... It was tough for me too! Maybe instead of blaming others, you should reflect on yourselves. After all these years, have you ever truly acted like decent people? Why do you think the immortals only attacked you and not me?"
