Chapter 88: Murderous Fu, the Sole Protagonist on the Battlefield [6k]

In the live-streaming room titled “The First Large-Scale Expedition of the Silent Courtyard,” Jiujiao, who hadn’t streamed for a long time, suddenly appeared.

“Hello everyone, it’s been a while since we last met. I wonder if you’ve missed me?”

Before she could finish speaking, the audience in the live-streaming room had already gone wild.

“Streamer, don’t waste time, quickly switch the camera to Bai Fu.”

“Hurry up and bring her out. I haven’t seen Fu fight for days.”

“Kill! Kill! Kill! I want to see rivers of blood!”

“Jiujiao, give us some close-ups of Fu’s legs. I love it so much that I feel uncomfortable all over if I don’t see it every day.”

Despite the players watching the stream all teasing, Jiujiao continued her broadcast methodically.

“What’s the rush? The battle hasn’t officially started yet. If you want to see Fu’s legs, come to the Silent Courtyard and fight her. You’ll get the experience of having more than ten ribs broken by one kick.”

“This is my good partner, the Calamity Dragon. Today, the two of us will be broadcasting this exciting expedition live for everyone. Alright, let’s first introduce the situation of the three parties involved in the conflict.”

Calamity Dragon smiled and waved at the camera. “Hello everyone, I am the Calamity Dragon, the special guest of this broadcast and the host of the ‘Anya’s Mysterious Shop’ program.”

She paused for a moment and then began introducing the situation on the field.

“The convoy blocked on the road is the retreat force from the Black Eagle Base of the Truth Society. At a glance, there are about 700 people, but don’t underestimate them; most of them are elite monsters.”

“And on the opposite side fighting back and forth with the Truth Society is the Allied Forces composed of the Former Republic, Gene Progenitor, and Railway Guild. The number of troops is unknown, but from the current situation, the Allied Forces seem to be in an unfavorable position.”

Jiujiao nodded. “Indeed, which brings us to mention Qiyuan, the ace Mechanical Engineer and boss of the Black Eagle Base. Many players are interested in the Mechanical Engineer profession, right? Let’s take a look today.”

Calamity Dragon took over. “Now let’s check out the data of Qiyuan, the Absolute Fierce Tiger of the Truth Society.”

She cast a reconnaissance spell on Qiyuan far away. This was a high-level reconnaissance skill she had specially learned, capable of revealing much more information than the ordinary reconnaissance skill.

Instantly, Qiyuan’s panel popped up in the live-streaming room.

“Name”: Qiyuan (Boss)

“Template”: Special – ?

“Main Profession”: ? Lv14 [Lower Profession ? Lv10], Wind Fist Beginner Lv10

“Secondary Profession”: None

“Health Points”: 720/720

“Magnetism”: 830/830

“Stats”: Strength 23, Agility ?, Constitution 35, Intelligence 83, Spirit ?, Inspiration ?

“Skills”: Intermediate Mechanical Mastery, ???

“Talents”: ???

“Equipment”: ???

“Affinity”: ?

“Danger Level”: Black

Black means that Qiyuan’s danger level is the highest grade. Once this data came out, it dazzled many players’ eyes.

“Shit, 83 intelligence points, is this the foundation of a high-level boss?”

Jiujiao sighed. “As everyone expected, Mechanical Engineers are really fragile. Even though he has learned a body cultivation flow profession, his health points are still only a fraction of Fu’s.”

Calamity Dragon laughed and said, “That’s true, but the life bar of a Mechanical Engineer can’t just be judged by health points. There are various armors as well. Look, Qiyuan is wearing a set of custom Power Armor now.”

In the live-streaming room, Qiyuan, dressed in Power Armor, resembled a war god. With the assistance of the mechanical army, he alone was suppressing nearly a third of the Allied Forces, greatly reducing the pressure on the Black Eagle Base. However, as Bai Fu led the players to attack, the pressure on the Black Eagle Base instantly became greater.

Calamity Dragon said, “Next, let’s check out the data of Fu, the Valkyrie of the Silent Courtyard. I believe everyone has been eagerly awaiting Fu’s data.”

Instantly, comments flooded the live-streaming room.

“According to my estimation, it should be C.”

“Not just that?”

“???”

Then, Bai Fu’s panel also popped up.

Similar to Qiyuan’s panel, it was filled with question marks, with a black danger level. However, unlike Qiyuan’s, several pieces of data were very eye-catching.

“Health Points”: 1730/1730

“Spirit Energy”: 700/700

“Stats”: Strength 20, Agility 21, Constitution 75, Intelligence ?, Spirit ?, Inspiration ?

There’s no need to elaborate on Health Points and Spirit Energy. Players were shocked once before when Bai Fu fought Graham.

“Constitution 75?”

Players were startled. “What the hell, no wonder Fu’s health points are as high as 1730.”

Actually, upon closer inspection, Constitution 75 wasn’t even the most terrifying part.

It’s common knowledge that spiritual energy professions and mechanical professions alike are fragile professions. Among all stats, while Constitution isn’t the lowest, it certainly isn’t the highest either. Since Bai Fu’s Constitution is already 75, how high must her hidden Intelligence, Spirit, and Inspiration values be?

“I’ll say a number: Intelligence 80, Spirit 100, Inspiration 120+”

“Bro, is this really the data of an NPC with a total level of over 30?”

“Intelligence and Spirit might not be that high. Spiritual energy professions don’t rely heavily on these two stats, but with Constitution at 75, Inspiration definitely can’t be lower than 120.”

“Too scary, but thinking about it carefully, it makes sense. Didn’t Jiujiao say that Fu is likely the Version Protagonist?”

“Version Protagonist? Bro, are you sure? She might be the only real protagonist of the entire Source Star!”

“Bro, the charm of numbers!”

“In this case, why even bother fighting? If I were Qiyuan, I’d kneel down and lick Fu’s shoes.”

“?!”

To be honest, even Jiujiao, who was currently streaming, was stunned when she saw this data.

The impact was too intense.

She always thought Fu’s thighs had a perfect grip, making her want to hug them, but she didn’t expect Fu’s thighs to be thicker than she imagined!

Damn, this time she might really have a blast.

Those players who had already joined the Silent Courtyard or were inclined towards it were now rejoicing.

“Our sect is invincible, right?”

“Who else?”

As for those players from other factions who wanted to ambush Bai Fu, they were now worried.

Come on, come on, Jiujiao said you’re the Version Protagonist, and you’ve supercharged it. Do you really have to play like this?

Given the current situation, they felt that even if they managed to ambush Bai Fu, it would be difficult to cause her any substantial harm. If they accidentally let Bai Fu know they were the ones behind it, their accounts might be ruined.

Let’s wait and see. In the short term, it’s better not to provoke Bai Fu. There are plenty of ways to earn reputation.

Bai Fu never expected that Jiujiao’s live stream would bring her such benefits.

At this moment, all her attention was on the Truth Society soldiers counterattacking under Pedro’s command.

These soldiers were formidable. Even veteran players might not win in a one-on-one battle against them, and new players engaging in melee combat with them would be pure suicide.

She brought these players here to deal with Qiyuan’s mechanical army, so she couldn’t let them die before they even faced Qiyuan.

Bai Fu called over Sword Aura Sky Piercing and other guild players and handed each of them several “Universal Card – Spatial Distortion”.

“You are responsible for restraining those regular soldiers. Note, it’s restraining. The battle situation is unclear right now. Rushing forward now would only attract enemy fire and lead to meaningless deaths. Wait until the Allied Forces break through the Truth Society’s defense line, then we launch a general attack. Remember, the main goal of our operation this time is not to destroy the Black Eagle Base, but to rescue the people in that car. We must distinguish between primary and secondary objectives.”

Bai Fu locked onto a vehicle. That vehicle carried Yulia’s relatives and friends.

“Understood!”

Sword Aura Sky Piercing and others rushed quickly toward where the new players were gathered, fearing that if they arrived late, some new players might act on their own and charge into the enemy ranks.

If the new players got themselves killed, that would be fine, but if it caused the Truth Society to turn around and fight them without hesitation, they would lose big.

Bai Fu nodded satisfactorily. She wasn’t in a hurry to take action yet. She was waiting for the Allied Forces and the Truth Society to be locked in fierce combat. Then she could go rescue the people. After rescuing them, it would be time for a massacre!

Even though Sword Aura Sky Piercing and others shouted loudly, these first-time battlefield participants still caused quite a bit of chaos.

After all, players who lack confidence while playing games can hardly be called players, right?

Some overly confident new players ignored advice and played various tactics with the Truth Society soldiers, such as flanking maneuvers and feints. However, regardless of how sophisticated their tactics became, the Truth Society soldiers responded only with cold expressions, pulling triggers, and sending them off with headshots.

“Damn!”

The remaining new players were so frightened that they dared not act recklessly anymore.

Seeing this scene, Pedro, who had been tense just moments ago, slightly relaxed.

It seems the quality of this ambush force isn’t very high. Perhaps it’s better not to recall Qiyuan after all?

After pondering for a moment, he dismissed the idea. That woman wearing a black mask, who clearly stood out from the rest, gave him a dangerous feeling.

“Damn it, hurry up and urge Qiyuan again, telling him not to fool around up front.”

Thinking about it made Pedro angry. You’re a Mechanical Engineer; shouldn’t you be controlling things from behind instead of running up front to engage in melee combat? Do you have any sense of professionalism as a Mechanical Engineer!

Just as Pedro was getting angry, Damian on the Allied Forces side was also furious.

When he first saw the players charging out, he was excited, thinking they would easily win the battle. But seeing the players foolishly rushing to their deaths made him almost explode with anger.

“Are these people here to cause trouble?”

However, this emotion didn’t last long.

“Report, sir! Qiyuan has suddenly started retreating!”

“What?”

Damian looked around and found that Qiyuan’s mechanical army still held an advantage. Why is he retreating? Is it because of those rookies?

Never mind.

“Whatever he’s planning, stop him!”

Damian immediately issued orders, and Xu Hong and others from Si Chu also followed suit.

Judging solely by physique, Qiyuan was inferior to someone of a lower level than him…

Xu Hong was shorter by a margin, but he had his self-made power armor. This was no ordinary gear.

Magnetic Storm!

Xu Hong led the charge, but suddenly, he realized that his power armor was jammed. His heart filled with alarm, and he shouted out loud.

“Watch out!”

But it was already too late.

Qiyuan’s power armor spewed gas from its soles and back, propelling the over two-meter-tall power armor forward like a locomotive, at full throttle. A single punch sent Xu Hong flying.

Shit!

The others behind him all swallowed hard. Was this mechanical engineer really that powerful?

Qiyuan sneered coldly and charged again, mechanical bee swarms protecting his sides. The left arm of the power armor flipped over, revealing two gun barrels. This time, it wasn’t a boxing match but an artillery attack. With several booms, even Yago, the sniper standing at the back, was blown to roll on the ground.

“Ribs… Damn, is he a monster?”

Yago gritted his teeth.

One man’s strength was terrifying.

He endured the pain, found a safe position, and continued setting up his gun. Although the sniper rifle couldn’t penetrate the power armor, it still posed a significant threat to certain joints of the power armor.

“It seems Qiyuan won’t be able to retreat for a while.”

At this point, Bai Fu completely relaxed.

“Everyone, follow me!”

Behind her, Pai Da Xing, Convert to Me Fu, Black Tiger Afu, and other players who had previously deceived the Truth Society all became spirited. Finally, the big showdown had arrived.

Charge! Kill them!

Under Bai Fu’s leadership, they all rushed towards Pedro.

As Bai Fu pulled out a grenade launcher from behind, dozens of bullets flew towards her. Unexpectedly, Bai Fu didn’t dodge or flinch at all; she plunged into the hail of bullets. Moreover, those followers behind her followed suit.

Pedro was stunned. Were these people not afraid of bullets?

Pai Da Xing and the others were having a blast now. Their evaluation was that they had never fought such a simple and straightforward battle before. They didn’t have to consider anything, just run with Bai Fu and shoot.

Hail of bullets?

With spiritual energy shield protection, what’s there to fear? Break through it directly!

Bang bang bang, boom!

Bullets mixed with grenades continuously reaped the lives of the Truth Society soldiers who dared to show their heads.

Many live-stream viewers were experiencing for the first time the overwhelming strength of the spiritual energy class professions.

[A good support can make such a big difference]

[Turtle, hell mode turned into easy mode]

[Now it’s the opponent’s turn to experience hell mode]

Pedro’s face was extremely grim. He had always thought Bai Fu was extraordinary, but he never expected that the two lines of defense he set up at the front would be easily breached by a single charge.

“Get Qiyuan back quickly!” he shouted loudly and then turned to look at another person beside him, “Luo Wan, take some people and block her.”

Luo Wan, the elite-level mutant, could effortlessly crush steel with sheer brute force.

“No problem.”

He had always been annoyed with Qiyuan. Machines were ultimately external objects; only the strength of the flesh was truly powerful.

This time, he would crush the body of that masked woman like a chick, letting everyone know his terror!

Luo Wan’s muscles suddenly swelled, his entire body growing nearly half in size. In the next second, without waiting for his followers, he roared and leaped out, his momentum so fierce that even lions and tigers trembled in fear.

Pedro shook his head secretly. Luo Wan was too reckless, but now wasn’t the time to dwell on that. He thought Luo Wan might not be able to beat that masked woman, but delaying until Qiyuan returned should be fine.

“Watch out!”

Pai Da Xing was the first to react. He immediately raised his gun and shot, trying to drive Luo Wan back. Luo Wan laughed loudly and didn’t dodge either. The bullets hitting his body were actually caught by his muscles.

In just a few breaths, Luo Wan had reached Bai Fu.

A massive fist descended from the sky, but Bai Fu remained calm, not even stopping her steps. She simply raised the grenade launcher in her hand and fired five consecutive shots at Luo Wan’s stomach, which was only two meters away.

Luo Wan never imagined that Bai Fu would dare to shoot at such close range, let alone fire five consecutive shots.

“Aaaah—”

The explosion instantly drowned out his screams.

Bai Fu’s body swayed a few times, regained balance, and then she threw a grenade onto Luo Wan’s body before charging out of the smoke.

Boom!

This time, the explosion of the grenade and the Dimensional Erosion explosion came almost simultaneously.

[You have killed Luo Wan, contribution 100%, gained 30,000 experience points]

You may be able to withstand bullets, but can you withstand grenades? Can you withstand grenades and dimensional erosion explosions?

Seeing Bai Fu walk out of the flames and storms, her steps still elegant, her body still spotless, Pedro couldn’t help but widen his eyes.

Is this how you play?

“Hold him back quickly!” he shouted again.

Following his orders, more people hesitated but still rushed towards Bai Fu.

Some held guns, some drew knives, and some began gathering energy to use their abilities. At this moment, Pai Da Xing and the others were still unable to catch up due to the impact of the explosion. Bai Fu faced dozens of enemies alone.

This scene appeared extremely stunning in the live broadcast, but no player felt worried about Bai Fu. Trust first.

Enemies at this level are not a group of bosses coming together. How could Fu lose?

Bai Fu calmly drew several Spatial Distortion cards from her pocket and threw them out.

Buzz, an invisible spiritual energy shockwave swept forward. Everyone hit by it looked bewildered as they lost their sense of direction. Some fell to the ground, some collided with their teammates, some accidentally shot their own teammates, some ignited their teammates with fire-based abilities. The entire battlefield was in chaos.

This was an unexpected development that none of the NPCs had foreseen.

And at the instant Bai Fu threw the cards, she had already started pulling the trigger of the grenade launcher non-stop. Boom boom boom, the sparks of explosions shook the hearts of everyone present like thunder.

Fear, confusion, trembling…

Countless emotions were sprouting.

“All of you die!”

After emptying the grenade launcher, Bai Fu pulled out a submachine gun. Regardless of whether the people were dead or alive, as long as they appeared in front of her and were still standing, they would receive a barrage of gunfire.

Blood wove like fabric, flesh turned to mud, and Bai Fu walking through the blood and flesh was like a blood elf committing insane killings with graceful posture.

The commotion here caught the attention of the Allied Forces and Qiyuan far away.

Looking at the large number of corpses lying around Bai Fu’s feet, Qiyuan was somewhat dazed. He originally thought he was invincible, but he never expected that woman to be even braver than him. He no longer cared about Xu Hong and the others he had beaten down and began retreating rapidly.

Xu Hong and the others also stared dumbfounded through binoculars.

Suddenly, Yago shouted, “Captain Xu, don’t you think that person looks familiar?”

Xu Hong paused slightly. When the gentle silver-white long hair flowed through the binoculars’ view, he recalled a name—

Bai Fu!

How had Bai Fu’s strength grown to such a level?

A massive earthquake occurred in his heart, and similarly shocked was Damian.

What kind of monster is this?

“Quick, attack, full-scale attack!”

Pedro was anxious. Normally, as a commander, he shouldn’t personally engage in combat, but now Bai Fu had already led the players to fight right in front of him. He had no choice but to join the fray.

He quickly gathered everyone around him, focused, preparing for a life-and-death struggle with Bai Fu.

But just at this moment, Bai Fu, who was charging straight towards him, suddenly made a sixty-degree turn and bypassed him.

What is she doing?

By the time he finally realized the problem, Bai Fu had already led the players to the vehicles where Youlia’s relatives were being held.

Bai Fu slashed the person blocking her way to death and ordered the players to drive the vehicle out of the battlefield first.

“Damn it!”

Pedro, both surprised and angry, led his men to charge towards Bai Fu.

Why would Bai Fu indulge him? After that charge, her spiritual energy shield was still active, and there was no need to back off even a bit.

Snap!

Another Spatial Distortion card was thrown.

Pedro’s inspiration was crushed by Bai Fu and couldn’t resist at all.

However, just as Bai Fu was about to rush forward and stab Pedro, a small artillery shell suddenly flew in diagonally.

Boom!

Bai Fu’s body violently shook. She turned her head and saw that the mechanical engineer Qiyuan had returned, shouting loudly from afar.

“Stop!”

Do you think I’ll stop just because you say so?

Bai Fu, who had been hit by the artillery shell, had no intention of showing any good face to Qiyuan. She still had one trump card on her that she hadn’t used yet.

Bai Fu pulled out the skill card [Spiritual Omen] that dropped from the assassin Rattlesnake during the Red Sand Camp raid.

Select target, Pedro, release.

Whoosh!

The mental power surged like waves, breaking through the smoke floating in the air ahead and landing on Pedro, who was stumbling due to the Spatial Distortion effect.

Pedro felt as if he was being crushed by a tank. His eyes bulged, the veins on his temples popped out, and he completely lost the ability to move.

Trouble!

Both he and Qiyuan realized the severity of the situation at the same time, but what could they do?

Roaring, glaring, none of it could stop Bai Fu.

Bai Fu rushed into the crowd wielding an electric knife glowing with electricity, stabbing through the armor Pedro wore and piercing his heart.

“You…”

Qiyuan stopped.

He stared ahead, an unprecedented anger reflected in his eyes. What he saw was the burnt black smoke rising from Pedro’s heart and the pretty eyes curved into a crescent moon beneath Bai Fu’s mask.

Bai Fu was unmoved by that fierce gaze.

What’s the deal with having a formed small mechanical army? Now it’s time for you to see the power of the suicide flow player army!

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?"
