Chapter 4: She’s Good and Bad, But I Love Her Anyway

For elementary school kids, “Pretty Cure” might be a bit childish, but for adults, it’s just right.

[Mom, I’m in love!]

[Wow, white-haired girl, wow, I’m good.]

[Damn, this character model, it has to be in a game that isn’t constrained by political correctness. Now I have to play it non-stop.]

[You give me beautiful girls, I give you money, that’s very reasonable.]

[Stop spamming, everyone get out of the way, I want to see my wife!]

When promoting “Above the Stars,” they never showcased beautiful female characters like 2B or Tifa. Instead, they emphasized realistic graphics and high freedom.

In fact, the first batch of players who flooded in were indeed drawn to the visuals and gameplay.

But liking high-quality graphics and gameplay doesn’t mean players won’t like beautiful girls. Many players spend hours installing large and white mods before playing a game.

Bai Fu’s appearance riding on light was completely unexpected to the players, yet it perfectly hit their interest points.

Thus, the chat quickly filled up with messages.

Seeing this scene, Bai Fu was deeply saddened.

What a sin!

If she could issue quests like a normal NPC, she wouldn’t be in this mess at all. She could directly become the “Above the Stars” version of Selia, making players fill her with 70,000 happiness every day.

Bai Fu wiped away tears and discreetly waved, signaling Anya, who was fanning her from the side, to stop.

As her silver hair fell, she walked straight into the alley.

The burly man who had kidnapped Jiujiao reacted.

“You… Aren’t you the guy who came to collect debts from our boss a few days ago?”

The burly man’s brows relaxed.

Actually, when they first knocked Bai Fu unconscious, they were quite anxious. After all, Bai Fu was part of the Wildfire Gang, and they feared being retaliated against, so they quickly returned Bai Fu.

But after learning that Bai Fu was just an ordinary member, they calmed down.

It turned out to be just a small-time crook!

One could say that the past is the past, and now is now.

Back then, if they beat up Bai Fu, it would have been hard to explain, but recently, the Wildfire Gang has been targeting those unruly outsiders, urgently needing many enforcers to help. They could help the Wildfire Gang, so the gang wouldn’t bother with them over a “refreshable” expendable.

The burly man immediately threatened.

“You came to cause trouble just two days ago, and today you come to snatch my business? Don’t think I’ll fear you just because you’re part of the Wildfire Gang!”

Wait, the Wildfire Gang?

Jiujiao and the players in the live stream were all stunned.

Although they had only been in the game for a short time, they knew through various channels that the Wildfire Gang was the biggest anti-hero faction in the core area of the abandoned cooling plant, and due to some daring players, the Wildfire Gang’s affinity with all players was negative.

What a twist.

My wife isn’t Pretty Cure, but an evil organization’s female executive!

Some players felt heartbroken.

Others were even more excited.

Watching the chat, Bai Fu nodded secretly.

These reactions were exactly what she expected; otherwise, she wouldn’t have come to stir things up.

In a martial arts world, saving someone’s life could result in a response like “I’ll marry you” if the rescuer is attractive, or something like “We’ll meet again in another life” if not.

Sigh, what a cute, face-based world!

Bai Fu stared expressionlessly at the burly man: “I have no interest in snatching your business. I just want to tell you that if you want to live, stay out of the Wildfire Gang’s affairs with outsiders.”

The burly man laughed: “If I ignore your advice and insist on getting involved, don’t joke around. You are you, and the Wildfire Gang is the Wildfire Gang. You can’t scare me.”

Bai Fu shook her head: “You know nothing about fear.”

“Are you saying I provoked someone I shouldn’t have?” The burly man sneered.

Bai Fu: “…”

How did you steal my lines?

This is the accumulation of hundreds of fantasy novels I’ve read, and you took it away!

Bai Fu was furious.

The burly man was also furious. He wasn’t someone who liked to argue. Compared to Analects, he preferred to use his fists.

After two punches, he charged at Bai Fu aggressively.

“Come on, if you win, you can take her away! If you lose, hahaha…”

There are no bystanders here, so killing Bai Fu wouldn’t worry him about retaliation.

Come on, who’s afraid of whom? Don’t think you can overpower me just because you have muscles. This is a world with extraordinary powers. Do you think my 3 points of Inspiration grow for nothing?

Bai Fu walked towards the burly man without any fear.

In the alley, the two faced each other, step by step, rapidly closing in, much like DIO and Strong Fish Seller heading towards their destined battle. Their silhouettes were tense with the impending fight.

The sounds of wind, rustling debris… everything vanished at this moment.

The sky seemed to dim suddenly.

This was the perfect stage.

At least for the observing players.

[I went, Mortal Kombat!]

[Where’s the police of impact feel? Come and judge.]

[Outcast, dared to hit my wife, I will kill you!]

After three seconds of silence, Bai Fu and the burly man finally approached each other.

At this moment, the burly man raised his right fist, and Bai Fu lifted her right hand. The players held their breath.

Next, the burly man swung his right fist, and Bai Fu sprinkled lime powder directly into his eyes.

[??????]

[!!!∑(Дノ)ノ]

[┌(。Д。)┐]

Where’s the fair fight?

Now the players couldn’t be sure who was the Outcast.

While the burly man covered his eyes and screamed in pain, Bai Fu slid behind him.

Draw knife, kidney punch, spin the knife, seamlessly!

“-31!”

A bold critical hit damage appeared above the burly man’s head.

But this wasn’t over. With the [Bleeding] debuff, a series of “-1”, “-2” damages popped up.

Within seconds, the burly man’s health bar was depleted.

Good night, Macabre.

[You killed the thug (normal), gaining 150 experience points]

Bai Fu didn’t show any discomfort after the move. She even began to doubt whether she was similar to a psychopath who liked to kill with a golf club.

Hope I’m fine!

Soon, Bai Fu realized something was wrong. Someone who used SpongeBob to self-soothe wouldn’t have problems.

Her evaluation was based on playing “Above the Stars.” The dataization of her body and the memory of surviving in the abandoned cooling plant desensitized her to blood.

Bai Fu wiped the blood off the knife.

After putting away the knife, she walked to Jiujiao, who was still in shock, and carefully tidied up her clothes and hair, which were disheveled during the struggle.

“It’s almost dark, go home early.”

Pat pat.

Bai Fu patted Jiujiao’s shoulder, gave her an encouraging smile, then turned and walked out of the alley.

“Sigh, I…”

Jiujiao reached out hurriedly, but stumbled and fell, unable to catch up.

She could only watch.

Seeing Bai Fu reach the alley entrance and take Anya’s hand, who had been waiting there.

Seeing Bai Fu about to disappear, she shouted urgently, “Name! Your name!”

“Knowing won’t do you any good.”

The voice drifted as Bai Fu’s figure completely disappeared.

Gently I leave, as gently as I came.

If not for the heavily bleeding burly man lying on the ground, many players would have thought this was the most beautiful dream in summer.

Next moment, the live stream chat exploded.

[She’s good and bad, but I love her!]

[Who called my wife an Outcast just now, step forward!]

[Wildfire Gang member? It doesn’t matter! I only have one question, who is she?]

[I must find her!]
