Chapter 9: Have You Ever Seen Such an NPC?

Da Biao Ge, seeing Bai Fu, felt indescribably excited in his heart.

Especially recalling how the so-called brothers who called him “Big Brother” had run away faster than anyone else when he was in trouble, he felt even more grateful for Bai Fu’s return to save him.

True feelings are revealed in times of hardship.

Look at those worthless creatures, and then look at Bai Fu…

Da Biao Ge suddenly slapped himself.

He was wrong; how could he compare himself with Bai Fu?

This wasn’t praising Bai Fu; it was belittling her!

Da Biao Ge chuckled and stepped forward, “Why haven’t you left yet?”

Bai Fu urged, “Stop talking nonsense! Are you staying here because you think those outsiders won’t chase you fast enough? Hurry up and leave with me!”

Yes, yes, now was definitely not the time to dwell on this.

Da Biao Ge obediently followed her.

The two walked one after another, without speaking, just moving forward silently.

After turning several corners, Bai Fu stopped.

“What’s wrong?” Da Biao Ge asked curiously.

Bai Fu sighed in relief, “By now, those outsiders shouldn’t be able to catch up.”

Da Biao Ge looked around; he knew this place well. If the outsiders were unfamiliar with the terrain, they would indeed have a hard time finding them quickly.

Thank goodness, he was finally saved!

Da Biao Ge was deeply moved, “Thank you, my life is yours now. From now on, you can ask me to do anything!”

Bai Fu hurriedly shook her head, “No need to thank me, you’re my top player. It should be me thanking you.”

Top player?

Da Biao Ge was a bit confused. Seeing Bai Fu rummaging through her pocket, he leaned in closer.

Seconds later, Bai Fu pulled out her hand.

He widened his left eye and finally saw clearly; what lay in Bai Fu’s palm was a bag of lime.

Wait, lime?

Damn!

Da Biao Ge realized the danger too late.

Bai Fu threw the lime powder, covering his entire face.

The burning pain made Da Biao Ge scream in agony.

Birth, give me back all the emotions I felt just now!!!

While Da Biao Ge rolled on the ground in agony, Bai Fu, wielding a small knife, charged forward without hesitation.

She had gone through great trouble to bring Da Biao Ge here, just to take the player’s head.

If the player was drawn by Da Biao Ge’s screams, wouldn’t she have wasted her effort?

Pierce the damn thing!

The small knife stabbed wildly, and as the numbers “-13”, “-9”, etc., floated above his head, Da Biao Ge’s health points rapidly decreased, and several new statuses appeared next to his name.

[Haemorrhage], [Weakness], [Disability]

It’s over.

It’s really over!

Da Biao Ge, unable to move his legs, wept in frustration.

Whose fault was this? Should he blame himself for not recognizing the true birthright?

Indeed, he shouldn’t have compared the fleeing brother with Bai Fu.

In terms of birthright, the four of them combined couldn’t match Bai Fu’s dignified presence.

Truly tragic!

If this situation continued, how many people would be deceived by Bai Fu’s appearance and die because of her schemes?

Just thinking about this scene made Da Biao Ge tremble with anger.

But upon careful reflection, this situation didn’t seem particularly bad.

Since he was about to die anyway, it was better if more people died with him due to Bai Fu’s deception than just him alone.

With that thought, Da Biao Ge, overwhelmed by injuries, suddenly died peacefully.

[You killed Da Biao Ge, contributing 56% experience based on level difference, earning 560 XP]

Upon receiving the prompt, Bai Fu clenched her fist tightly.

Awesome!

Even better things were yet to come.

As she searched Da Biao Ge’s pockets, the game prompt sounded again.

[You completed the repeatable hidden quest [Iron Fist Order], earning a reward of 1000 XP and 1 Attribute Point]

[Iron Fist Order]

[Quest Description: Many disorderly groups wander around the abandoned cooling plant. Eliminate them to prove your commitment to maintaining order!]

[Objective: Eliminate any group rated [Yellow] or higher in danger, repeatable]

Including Martin’s [Debt Repayment] quest, after defeating Da Biao Ge, Bai Fu gained a total of 3560 XP.

With another 200 XP, she could level up her Spirit Adept profession to Level 5.

At that point, whether it was Da Biao Ge or Xiao Biao Ge, even if the players didn’t contribute, she could knock them down with one punch!

“Now, I’m finally rid of being considered cannon fodder.”

Bai Fu breathed a sigh of relief.

She heard hurried footsteps in the distance. In less than ten seconds, the players’ voices became clear.

“The screams came from this direction.”

“Hurry up!”

“Ahh, who took my kill?”

Jiujiao, with Black Tiger Afu and Pai Da Xing, transformed into a battlefield reporter, swiftly navigating through the ruins.

They originally thought they had lost track.

But as they walked, they heard screams in the distance. Just as they ran towards the source, they received the game prompt that Da Biao Ge had been killed.

Who did it?

After turning a corner, Jiujiao stopped.

“What’s wrong?” Pai Da Xing asked puzzledly.

Jiujiao pointed.

Dozens of still-living players peeked out, instantly losing their composure.

Under the broken wall, amidst the debris, lay a corpse covered in blood.

Next to the corpse, a white figure stood against the wall, the cold light illuminating her clothes and hands stained with blood.

Chatroom comments started flying.

[So cool!]

[A masterpiece!]

[Ah, your clothes and hands are dirty, let me help clean them]

[What are you licking for? Digging, go check if the mysterious girl X is okay!]

Jiujiao suddenly snapped back to reality and rushed deeper into the alley.

“Um, are you okay, mysterious girl…”

“I’m Bai Fu, read as Bai Fu, meaning white and husband, just call me by my name. I’m fine, just a minor injury.”

Bai Fu straightened up, forcing a smile from her exhausted face.

Her appearance instantly aroused the players’ protective instincts.

[So the mysterious girl X is named Bai Fu, such a cute name]

[Fu Fu, my Fu Fu, how did you get injured? It’s all my fault, I didn’t protect you well]

Bai Fu coughed lightly.

“Thanks to you all, if not for your efforts, I couldn’t have… but, alas, many of your companions died, it’s all my fault, I failed to protect them.”

As she spoke, her smile faded, shaking her head in sorrow.

Jiujiao quickly comforted her, “It’s alright, they will soon revive.”

Pai Da Xing leaned his staff on his shoulder, “That’s right, it’s not real death, you don’t need to blame yourself.”

Players comforted Bai Fu one after another, no longer concerned about her taking the kill.

Yet Bai Fu still sighed, “Don’t comfort me like that, I’ll adjust my emotions.”

She took out some credit coins from her pocket.

Credit coins were the currency used in the abandoned cooling plant, issued by the nearby large settlement “Lin En,” due to their good quality and difficulty to counterfeit.

“These are the money I found on him. I can’t keep them, please take them.”

Both Jiujiao and other players in the chatroom were stunned by Bai Fu’s actions.

You’re right, but this is Bai Fu, a dedicated NPC protecting the players. Before the battle, she considered the players’ safety, and after the battle, she took full responsibility for the players’ deaths, even giving the money taken from elite monsters as compensation!

[Have you ever seen such an NPC?]

[Cry, everyone cry!]

[I apologize for saying bad things about Fu Fu, from today, I’m your Fu protector!]

[Who could resist Fu Fu? Just pretending to be strong]

[Damn, can you guys accept this money with a clear conscience?]

The players in the live stream went wild.

Bai Fu nodded in satisfaction.

Fortunately, she had acted on a whim, smearing some blood on herself to feign injury, otherwise, gaining the players’ favor wouldn’t have been so easy.

Now everything was perfect.

She took all the benefits for the players from Da Biao Ge, and after giving them less than one percent, the players still thanked her!
