Chapter 97: Super Scene, Tonight Xiao Xiao Bai Fu Is the Sole Star [53k]

Hang Cederick by a street lamp?

The moment those words escaped from Bai Fu’s mouth, the atmosphere along the defense line changed entirely.

It indeed seemed possible to do so; there were over ten street lamps installed along the defense line.

“Sss—”

All players on-site and in live streams simultaneously focused their attention on Bai Fu.

The cool breeze around them was sucked away, their pupils shining like tiny bulbs, dazzlingly bright.

Usually, when they looked at Bai Fu, her stunning face was the first thing that caught their eye, but now, what they saw first was the holy light emanating from her heart and spreading out behind her head.

What is called righteousness? This is what righteousness looks like!

The live stream chat erupted with excitement.

【FuFu is right, we should hang this troublemaker by a street lamp!】

【FuFu, always our goddess!】

【I remember someone speculating that Bai Fu might actually be a villain disguised as a hero, but after hearing her just say that, I believe she can’t possibly be a villain!】

【Bro, if FuFu ever turns into a villain, it must be due to some hidden reason, not her fault, but the world’s!】

【Ahhh, I want to destroy this damn world for FuFu!】

Bai Fu: “?”

She couldn’t tell whether this was a player going crazy or someone causing mischief.

But overall, it wasn’t bad. Ever since her first appearance in front of players, countless fans had been discussing her topics.

These fans might not excel in other areas, but they were great at boosting her popularity.

Now, it was these fans who spread the news about her plan to hang Cederick by a street lamp throughout the community.

Even if Cederick wasn’t a popular NPC like Bai Fu, the novelty and absurdity of one NPC hanging another for the sake of players would still attract many players’ attention.

With Bai Fu’s positive buff added, the effect was astounding. The live stream of a previously unwatched player surged to become the top trending topic in the game!

Many streamers were bewildered to see their viewership drop drastically.

Why? What happened?

Only when they saw the chat messages did they understand.

【Quick, go check, Bai Fu is hanging a starting NPC by a street lamp!】

Damn, Fu!

After realizing how absurd this situation was, these streamers immediately switched to broadcasting Bai Fu hanging Cederick by a street lamp.

Bai Fu knew her plan to create an unforgettable scene was already halfway successful. Next, she needed to really hang Cederick up.

Her eyes fixed on Cederick.

Terrified, Cederick was already sweating profusely when he was pinned down. Upon hearing he was to be hung by a street lamp, his eyes rolled back, almost fainting.

If that happened, what would become of him?

“Let’s talk!” Cederick shouted while struggling, “I’m sorry, I know I’ve made mistakes, please forgive me, I’ll return all the money I took, and even use my salary to compensate you. Just give me another chance.”

He then began pleading, “People aren’t perfect, everyone makes mistakes, and they deserve a chance to repent.”

This display of pleading shook some new players who were still adjusting to the game’s realism.

“Are we really going to hang him by a street lamp?”

As whispers filled the air, Bai Fu approached Cederick with a light step.

Seeing her approach, Cederick shouted louder.

“Hit me, curse me, I deserve it. I… I will lick your shoes…”

He leaned forward, sticking out his tongue.

Bai Fu calmly stepped back with her right foot.

Cederick, who had licked nothing, froze. Was she serious about stepping back?

Before he could react, a hesitant player suddenly became furious.

“Fine, let’s do this!”

Seeing him seemingly confessing sincerely, the player felt a bit soft-hearted, but then realized Cederick wanted to reward himself with Bai Fu’s shoes, which no one had touched before. How dare he!

【Hang him up!】

【Beat him first, so he won’t escape later!】

【I suggest lighting a fire under him after hanging him up!】

Voices of condemnation rose.

Bai Fu slowly lowered her head and drew the electric knife from behind.

At the sight of the electric light, Cederick cried out again, “Spare me, spare me, I truly recognize my mistake…”

Bai Fu interrupted, her voice cold, “What you feel is not a mistake, but fear of death.”

Cederick’s eyes widened.

Under the night sky, the street lamp’s light shone on his head and the players’ heads beside him.

“Step aside.”

Players instinctively moved back.

For a while, everything went quiet.

Bai Fu stabbed Cederick’s chest, the shock of electricity making him twitch continuously. When she pulled out the knife, Cederick was motionless.

He wasn’t dead yet, just too weak to beg or move, trapped in fear, watching helplessly as Bai Fu tied him up and hung him by the street lamp.

Bai Fu secured the rope, looked up, and smiled at her accomplishment.

“Dislike being human? Then be a warning sign.”

The shadow on the wall finally snapped the players out of their daze.

Recalling Bai Fu’s words and actions, their excitement escalated.

【Wow, so cool! Coldly tearing through the facade of birth with words, and brutally cutting through the chest with a knife! So cool!】

【Did anyone record that moment? The electric light was so cool! I have to watch it over and over!】

【I recorded it, I’ll cut it together and post it in the community!】

【While I prefer pink hair, for that moment, white hair suited her perfectly!】

No one expected Bai Fu to create another iconic scene after announcing she would hang Cederick by a street lamp.

Will it catch on?

It will!

Video creators rushed to share the clip, and other players quickly posted their reactions in the community.

Bai Fu smiled inwardly.

Cool, huh?

This is just the beginning of tonight’s show!

She didn’t rush to greet the surrounding players, instead, she continued staring at Cederick, lost in thought.

Seconds passed, and suddenly, a window on the third floor shattered, followed by a black shadow flying out.

Someone!

Players with a good view noticed the anomaly immediately.

“Someone is attacking!”

“Bai Fu, be careful!”

They were shocked.

Unfortunately, even though they reacted quickly, their speed was still too slow compared to the elite gene progenitor agent jumping from the third floor.

The elite agent fell like a meteor, his long knife slashing fiercely.

Die!

The elite agent’s eyes blazed.

But unexpectedly, just as his blade was about to hit Bai Fu’s head, she vanished.

How?

The blade struck the ground, creating a horrifying crater.

【Flowing Light】: Consumes 5 Spirit Energy, forces a 0-10 meter teleportation in a specified direction, cooldown 1 second.

Do you understand what forced displacement means to dodge attacks?

The elite agent turned sharply, just in time to see Bai Fu rushing towards him, a white card flying towards him first.

【Common Card · Spatial Distortion】

Caught off guard, the elite agent lost his sense of direction. He tried to dodge but ended up moving in the wrong direction, straight towards the electric knife in Bai Fu’s hand.

Zing!

The smell of roasted meat rose in the night, followed by a deafening scream.

“Ahh—”

Feeling the resistance of the blade, Bai Fu pushed forward without holding back.

Everything was within her plan. Before Cederick appeared, she knew about this elite agent through Xiao Xiao Bai Fu. By keeping silent, she waited for him to attack. He didn’t disappoint, perfectly fitting into her planned drama.

Bang!

The elite agent was slammed against the building wall, creating a hole.

“Ahh—”

The screams continued. Bai Fu kept pushing, and finally, when dimensional erosion reached five layers, she stopped, retracted the knife, and turned around.

True experts never look back at explosions!

Boom!

A powerful spiritual storm erupted behind her, lifting her hair and sending debris flying.

Undoubtedly, this was another iconic scene. It was clear from the wide-eyed stares of the players outside.

【So cool?】

【A level 29 elite agent defeated by Bai Fu in seconds?】

【It’s Bai Fu, so what if she defeated a level 29 elite agent? Speaking of which, what level is Bai Fu?】

【I don’t know, even the Calamity Dragon couldn’t tell with advanced reconnaissance, so her level must be very high!】

Bai Fu calmly put away the electric knife and quickly hung the nearly dead elite agent next to Cederick.

It’s better to be in pairs.

Surrounding players started snapping photos non-stop. Such scenes shouldn’t be missed.

After hanging the elite agent, Bai Fu surveyed the area.

“The mastermind has received his due punishment, go reclaim what belongs to you.”

She didn’t need to take Cederick’s stolen money; the players would spend it at Silent Courtyard anyway.

Players cheered immediately. There was only Bai Fu, the best NPC.

【You completed the quest [Secret Mission of the Railway Guild – Sub-Quest Lure], gained 50,000 experience points】

As players searched for the money Cederick had hidden, Bai Fu received the game prompt.

Including kill rewards, she gained over 90,000 experience points.

Considering the upcoming assault on the Marine Biology Research Institute, she invested experience to raise Moonlit Dancer to Level 10, adding the remaining attribute points to Inspiration.

Her stats became:

【Health Points】: 1950/1950

【Spirit Energy】: 930/930

【Attributes】: Strength 25, Agility 31, Constitution 86, Intelligence 25, Spirit 27, Inspiration 90

Health increased by 100, nearing 2000, strength and agility improved significantly. Though not comparable to specialized NPCs or strong monsters, Bai Fu could easily overpower same-level NPCs and monsters.

“All-around development, huh? If I keep leveling up, I might even be considered an athlete.”

Bai Fu closed the data panel.

Actually, she had enough experience to level Moonlit Dancer higher, but doing so would reduce experience gains from fighting. She decided to save it for leveling up Apprentice Soul Painter.

Bai Fu called out to Jiujiao, Pai Da Xing, and others hiding outside.

“The defenses are breached, come over.”

Su Li and her helpers joined them.

Su Li looked distressed.

Through the hidden cameras, she witnessed Bai Fu’s entire process of dealing with the undead in the defenses and hanging Cederick and the elite agent by the street lamps.

She had imagined many ways Bai Fu might handle the undead, but never like this.

Kneeling down.

One sentence made over ninety undead kneel. Even a succubus wouldn’t be this absurd!

Though she had never interacted with Yulia, Su Li shared the same thought: she wanted to disassemble Bai Fu to see how she was built.

Could it be that her body isn’t filled with blood but the seductive scent of a succubus?

“How did you do it?”

Su Li approached Bai Fu, her expression complex.

She studied the video closely but found no issues. Finally, she decided to ask.

“Do?” Bai Fu was confused, “You mean hanging them by the street lamp?”

Su Li shook her head, “I meant how you made those undead follow you without hesitation.”

“Maybe they think I’m pretty?” Bai Fu joked.

“That’s not funny.”

“Then maybe they sensed I’m a good person, and good people get rewarded.”

Su Li: “…”

Do you want me to scratch you or tackle you?

She took a deep breath, “Try charming me, I want to test if I can resist your charm. If I can’t resist and fall for you, it’s because I’m not as strong as you.”

Bai Fu rolled her eyes.

Do you really think I’m a succubus who can charm both genders? I can, but it’s about winning hearts. Want to try?

“Let’s get to the point. The problem here is solved. How are the Coyotes doing? Do we need backup?”

Bai Fu changed the subject.

Su Li reluctantly followed, unable to force Bai Fu to charm her.

【An extremely dangerous and deceptive woman!】

She mentally evaluated Bai Fu.

“Hold on.”

Su Li quickly contacted the Coyotes. Soon, she returned to Bai Fu.

“Your speed was too fast, they just arrived near the research institute and haven’t attacked yet.”

Bai Fu nodded, “That’s perfect. I have a new plan. Want to hear it?”

“What plan?”

“I plan to have these undead carry Cederick’s body to the research institute and infiltrate it. Whether the assault succeeds or not, having them inside increases our chances of getting the research materials.”

Su Li’s eyes lit up. It was a brilliant plan, but…

“Are you sure they won’t betray us and report what happened to the institute?”

“Absolutely,” Bai Fu replied swiftly. Although she wasn’t a succubus, her current allure was unmatched. “I’ll mix my undead among theirs to enter the institute together.”

Su Li pondered for a while, then firmly said, “I’ll contact the Coyotes immediately.”

She decided to trust Bai Fu. No matter how reluctant, Bai Fu’s ability to persuade the undead stunned her. Bai Fu was clearly superior in some aspects, such as her deception skills, strength, and fighting poses.

【How can she be so cool!】

Bai Fu’s proposal was accepted by everyone involved. Some initially disagreed but changed their minds after seeing Su Li’s video.

You’re awesome, whatever you say!

Who doesn’t like having a strong ally for such a dangerous mission?

Bai Fu gathered all the players.

Pai Da Xing and others thought they were just going through the motions, but upon hearing Bai Fu’s plan to infiltrate the institute, they all cheered excitedly.

“Bai Fu, you’re awesome!”

“You’re the boss, Bai Fu, we respect you!”

“I’m Bai Fu’s dog!”

Regardless of who the game’s main character is, at least tonight, Bai Fu was the undisputed star in the eyes of these players.

Why care about others when they offer no benefits?

Bai Fu smiled as she and Su Li sent the players to the frontlines.

Her face showed ease and satisfaction.

With her previous popularity and the new surge from her recent actions, her breakout was imminent!

“When I break out, the planner will surely strengthen me again, possibly even more than last time.”

Last time, she went from a passerby to a regional boss. What will happen this time?

Excitedly, Bai Fu opened the community to see how people were discussing her.
