Chapter 99: Queen Mode Unlocked, Who Made Bai Fu an NPC? [1000010000]
The shouts of battle were fierce, but there was not a trace of panic on Bai Fu’s face.
When all the guards’ attention in the research institute was focused on her, it would be the time for Su Li and others, as well as the players who had infiltrated the institute beforehand under her arrangements, to make their move.
All she needed to do was withstand the first wave of attacks from these guards. After that, it would be her game to dominate.
Clearly, this was no difficult task for her with her Spirit Energy shield activated.
Due to the limitation of card material’s capacity to hold Spirit Energy, Bai Fu could currently produce Spirit Energy Shield Cards with a maximum value of 2000 points. But this was 2000 points, not 200.
Even after enduring continuous barrages and psychic fireballs, her shield still retained 1427 points.
1427!
Looking across the entire research institute, one would be hard-pressed to find any NPC with such a long health bar.
Although Spirit Energy shields aren’t as durable as the health bars of high-level monsters, this number was still astonishing.
If the guards in the research institute could see the thickness of Bai Fu’s shield and then notice a health bar beneath it stretching up to 1950 points, they would undoubtedly lose all courage to fight her.
Screw off!
A terrifying demon king has arrived; don’t think too much, just run.
However, these guards didn’t know this now. Stimulated by the deaths of their comrades, they surged forward like waves, determined to tear Bai Fu, standing arrogantly at the firing port, into pieces.
Snipers, berserkers, sword saints… all kinds of guards attacked Bai Fu simultaneously.
Bai Fu felt like a seagull standing on the edge of a cliff.
—Let the storm come more fiercely!
At this moment, the players mixed among the guards acted cunningly. Taking advantage of the chaotic situation where no one paid attention to them, they mimicked Han Tianzun, retreating continuously and placing the guards in front of them.
Good decision!
This way, Bai Fu wouldn’t have to worry about accidentally harming the players.
Even if some players were killed by her unintentionally at this point, it wouldn’t damage her image significantly, but killing should be avoided if possible.
As she was overwhelmed by a torrent of attacks, Bai Fu pulled out two handguns.
This action made the charging guards hesitate for a moment.
Handguns?
Even if you wield dual guns, they’re still handguns. On Source Star, there are no handguns known to cause explosive blasts with a single shot.
Bai Fu fired.
After months of experience and with the shooting bonus from the Gunner profession, her accuracy was very high. She fired five shots from each hand, hitting two guards each.
The guards hit screamed in agony as they fell to the ground, seemingly without any abnormality. The other guards breathed a sigh of relief.
“Protect the institute, kill her!”
A physical-type mutant roared and charged forward. However, the moment he reached the fallen guard, a faint light suddenly erupted.
It was a Spiritual Storm!
Boom—
The fierce explosion swept everything within a radius of two meters. It happened so suddenly that people around didn’t have time to react. Those with low body resistance were killed instantly, while those with higher resistance were thrown several rounds on the ground, severely injured and groaning in pain.
The guards were terrified, their faces turning pale.
They had no idea what exactly happened, only knowing that their companions who were struck by Bai Fu exploded upon contact. How could they continue fighting if anyone Bai Fu touched couldn’t survive?
Guarding against Bai Fu’s attacks while avoiding their own exploding comrades meant they couldn’t coordinate properly. Human stamina has its limits; eventually, they would make mistakes.
In an instant, the area closest to Bai Fu’s firing position fell into an eerie silence.
What to do?
They were sweating profusely, but Bai Fu wouldn’t give them a chance to catch their breath.
She kept shooting, and when her bullets ran out, she threw several “Summon True Spirits” cards in quick succession.
Bang bang bang!
The prayer cards exploded in mid-air, transforming into multiple Xiao Xiao Bai Fus. These miniature Bai Fus quickly rushed into the crowd.
Another series of explosions followed, causing chaos throughout the research institute.
A smile appeared on Bai Fu’s face. This was the power of AoE skills. Before mastering Summon True Spirits and Dimensional Erosion, attacking the Bagalos Base was painstakingly slow.
Now, she alone was equivalent to a small army!
Who dares to defy her? Defy her and challenge her!
No one dared to defy her, especially those guards who personally experienced the power of Spirit Energy explosions. They stood frozen like statues, unsure whether to advance or retreat.
This was the research institute; they had nowhere to escape. Even if they managed to survive this time, they would be held accountable afterward.
Damn it.
The guards looked up, and in the backlight, Bai Fu’s upper body was almost completely shrouded in shadow, oppressing them so much that it seemed like the Celestial Ocean might collapse.
“I’ll deal with him!”
In the dead silence, a mutant emerged from deep within the institute, resolute.
The head of the institute shook his head. “You alone probably won’t succeed. All of you go together. Even if you can’t kill her, at least hold her back. I’ll immediately request support from Sea City!”
Dozens of mutants walked toward Bai Fu with grim expressions.
Bai Fu noticed them right away. There were quite a few, but she also had reinforcements.
By this time, Su Li and others had already reached near the institute. Their total levels were lower than hers, but even in the Darknet, they were definitely S-class assassins.
Though there are differences among S-class individuals, there is still a baseline.
After Su Li and others entered the institute through other firing ports, the entire battle situation changed drastically.
“Tiger Rush Fist!”
Su Li, wearing boxing gloves, plunged into the guards, unleashing her full strength. Every punch caused an explosion.
Ferreira didn’t want to fall behind. Laughing heartily, he opened his large coat, revealing a dense cluster of black bugs that made people’s scalps tingle.
“Charge!”
As soon as the words left his mouth, the bugs surged forward like a flood, rushing towards the guards blocking their path.
Coyote’s name was Coyote, but his fighting style leaned towards elegance. He was a mutant, standing tall, hands moving gracefully as he controlled the illusion of a giant wolf, akin to conducting an orchestra.
“Weren’t there supposed to be only three of them?”
The faces of the mutants rushing out from the depths of the institute changed drastically. But at this point, they didn’t have the energy to dwell on it. They split up, each finding an opponent, hoping that the reinforcements from Sea City would arrive soon. Otherwise, they might all die here.
“Damn bastards!”
The head of the institute angrily smashed a cup beside him.
There was no time to hesitate. He hurried to the microphone: “Follow my orders, close all the gates immediately!”
Those who received the order didn’t dare delay, quickly pressing the button to lower the gates. They feared that the people outside would break in and send them to their deaths.
Seeing the three gates smoothly descend, the head of the institute exhaled deeply.
“Excellent.”
The gates were made of special materials. Even if the people outside were strong, they wouldn’t be able to break through anytime soon. They should be able to hold out until reinforcements arrived.
The head of the institute couldn’t help but smile.
“These intruders are still too inexperienced. If they had concentrated their forces to rush inside from the start, I might not have been able to stop them today. In that case… I would have had to activate the self-destruct button.”
As the tense atmosphere dissipated, he began studying the surveillance footage.
These people looked somewhat familiar.
The ones who came later were particularly conspicuous. Controlling the illusion of a giant wolf, controlling bugs—weren’t these famous killers from the Darknet? As for the woman using boxing techniques, it wasn’t easy to identify her at once.
And the white-haired woman who broke in first…
“Bai Fu!”
The head of the institute recalled a name that infuriated the Gene Progenitor’s top brass.
That’s right, it must be her. That explained why they attacked this institute.
He was so excited that his body trembled. Today, he might accomplish a great feat. Once reinforcements arrived and successfully captured Bai Fu, he would surely be promoted.
“Hahaha, heaven helps me!”
The head of the institute prepared to contact Sea City and report this discovery. However, before he could turn around, he suddenly heard a blood-curdling scream from outside.
“?!”
He searched everywhere and finally found the source of the scream on a screen in the upper left corner.
It was the mutant who went out from here earlier. He lay in front of Bai Fu, his chest mangled, clearly on the verge of death.
The head of the institute’s pupils contracted sharply.
That…
He knew the strength of the mutants, but he was killed within less than a minute after fighting Bai Fu. How could the gap in strength be so great? Back then, Bai Fu could only run away when she was being hunted by the Gene Progenitor!
He could only be glad that he hadn’t blindly trusted those mutants’ strength and had lowered the gate in time.
The person in charge shook his head secretly, turned around, and went to contact Sea City to report the good news.
…
At the same time, outside the gate.
Bai Fu calmly stepped over the corpse on the ground. The combination of an electric knife and a spiritual energy explosion was extremely effective against these mutants who relied on physical strength for combat.
At this moment, Su Li’s voice sounded: “Silver Moon, quickly look around for a way to enter deeper into the research institute. We must obtain the institute’s data.”
Bai Fu waved her hand: “No need for such trouble.”
She had already arranged everything. All she needed to do now was move forward.
“You…”
Su Li became anxious, revealing a vulnerability, and was hit by a mutant’s punch, but she wasn’t angry. After kicking the mutant away with one foot, she looked at Bai Fu with confusion.
“We’re fighting here, why are you daydreaming?”
Coyote’s face darkened, but after following Su Li’s line of sight, he also froze.
Then, like an epidemic spreading, whether it was the people from the Railway Guild or the people inside the institute, everyone turned their heads to look at Bai Fu.
They watched Bai Fu standing at the entrance of the first gate, watching the gate slowly rise, and watching the player bowing and extending their hand behind the gate.
“Fufu, the second gate is over here, please follow me.”
Bai Fu nodded slightly: “Thank you for your hard work.”
This demeanor was exactly like a queen arriving for guidance, with her subordinates responsible for reception!
Under the player’s lead, Bai Fu walked toward the second gate.
It was only at this point that the members of the corridor and on both sides of the corridor realized something was wrong.
“What are you doing? Why are you opening the door? Are you trying to kill everyone? No, you’re spies…”
Bang!
Bai Fu shot the person babbling and continued moving forward as if nothing had happened.
The other members of the institute murmured, but in the end, none of them said a complete sentence. They had seen the surveillance; they knew that Bai Fu killed those powerful mutants like killing chickens. Killing them, these researchers or small security personnel, would be even easier?
Thus, Bai Fu arrived at the second gate, and the player behind the gate had already pressed the button in advance, raising the gate halfway.
“Fufu, the third gate is over here, please follow me.”
“Stop her, stop her quickly!”
The mutants outside screamed in terror, but no one responded to them anymore.
What was the point? The institute had been infiltrated to the point of being riddled with holes. It was as easy for her to enter the institute as returning home. Everything was over. Instead of rushing over to die, it was better to wait quietly here and maybe save a life.
The mutants without any response wanted to stop her themselves, but how could Su Li and others let them pass?
Charge, Bai Fu!
Bai Fu now only wanted to describe the situation with one phrase—
My department has no obstacles, my department has no obstacles!
After passing through the second gate was the third gate, after passing through the third gate were maze-like corridors, and after passing through the corridors was the monitoring room where the person in charge was located.
Bai Fu stood at the door, with dozens of excited players behind her.
In this operation, they had made indelible contributions. After the war, when summarizing videos were released, everyone could brag about themselves!
Bai Fu drew her electric knife and split the door in half with one slash.
The huge noise immediately caught the attention of the person in charge inside the room.
“Who?”
He had just started talking to someone from Sea City when someone came to cause trouble. He was very angry, but upon seeing Bai Fu, he completely froze, not even noticing the terminal slipping from his hand.
How could Bai Fu be here?
Finished, his promotion dream, finished, his life!
Kid, this is a surprise!
With a flash of light, Bai Fu forcibly teleported next to the person in charge and delivered a heavy punch to his chin just before his hand pressed the self-destruction button.
A full-force strike with 25 points of strength sent the person flying, hitting his head against the ceiling, causing cracks in his well-trained skull.
As the person landed, Bai Fu pulled out her gun and pressed it against his forehead.
Goodbye!
One bullet entered the soul.
Before his head exploded, the person in charge of the institute had only one thought—
What a screwed-up world, which unlucky person let Bai Fu be born into this world?
Other people’s strength growth could be described as rocket-like at most, but Bai Fu’s was already leapfrogging. Not only did her strength increase so fast, but she could also make so many undead willingly serve her like dogs. There was simply no justice!
…
Ten minutes later, Bai Fu and the players took all the paper documents and all the devices storing information out of the base.
By this time, the battle outside had also come to an end. All the mutants had been eliminated, and the remaining people squatted on the ground with their hands on their heads, not daring to speak or move.
Looking at Bai Fu’s expressionless face and the smiling players, Su Li felt incredibly complicated.
If it weren’t for the previous harsh blow from the players and the little annoyance in her heart, she might have knelt down to Bai Fu right now.
She had never imagined that completing a quest could be such an easy thing.
Is this Bai · Dark Realm Queen · Fu?
Being under the protection of the big boss feels amazing!
Coyote and Ferreira didn’t have as much psychological burden as her. Their eyes were gleaming, looking at Bai Fu as if she were a celestial being, especially Ferreira, who admired Bai Fu’s achievements greatly. He shouted in an exaggerated tone.
“Queen triumphantly returns!”
Bai Fu ignored his teasing.
Shh, knowing this is enough, shouting it out would be embarrassing.
“These materials I’ve already checked, there’s no damage.”
Bai Fu handed over the items to Su Li very smoothly. She had the players take pictures of all the paper documents, and she also copied the digital data via hard drives.
It can’t be denied that these materials were explosive. The first page of the paper document mentioned a keyword—
Android!
Yes, this was a research institute studying androids.
The Gene Progenitor captured a large number of scavengers, using the pretense of researching marine biology to conduct bloody experiments here that were unacceptable to ordinary people.
Bai Fu remembered that if she wasn’t mistaken, when she interrogated Graham, Graham had told her that the President of the Truth Society was an android.
However, according to rumors, the President of the Truth Society had lived for at least fifty or sixty years, while the earliest research records of this institute could be traced back more than twenty years ago. The first record even mentioned “We have finally researched and developed android technology.”
From this perspective, it was difficult to say that the President of the Truth Society was related to this institute.
Let’s wait until we return to Shelter No. 11 to carefully study these materials, and perhaps a new quest will be triggered at that time.
“This is your reward.”
After checking the materials, Su Li handed over the data hard drive containing advanced spiritual energy knowledge to Bai Fu.
Without hesitation, Bai Fu quickly imported the materials into her terminal.
[Data import successful]
“Let’s go, if we don’t leave soon, reinforcements from the Gene Progenitor might arrive.” Bai Fu urged.
Su Li nodded and began calling the logistics team to pick up the people.
The logistics team arrived very quickly, reaching the institute in less than ten minutes. After putting the materials and prisoners on the vehicle, Bai Fu finally got on the car with the players.
There were no unexpected incidents throughout the journey. The engine roared loudly as the car quickly left the Marine Biology Research Institute.
[You have completed the quest [Railway Guild’s Secret Commission], rewarded with 300,000 experience points and Spiritual Energy Knowledge Chain (11)]
Counting the rewards from the quest settlement for attacking the institute, Bai Fu earned a total of 410,000 experience points, a bountiful harvest.
But what she valued more was the newly acquired Spiritual Energy Knowledge Chain and the waves caused by the exposure of the battle footage among the player community.
Sitting in the car, Bai Fu opened her personal terminal.
[You begin reading ‘Advanced Spiritual Energy Knowledge Mastered by the Railway Guild’, Intermediate Spiritual Energy Proficiency activated, your reading speed +20%, current progress 0.1%…]
Twenty minutes later, a clear and pleasant prompt sound rang out.
[You have unlocked Spiritual Energy Knowledge Chain (11)]

Two updates of ten thousand words are done. I could have finished earlier, but my right hand had poor typing posture and suddenly hurt a bit, fortunately, it didn’t hurt afterward.
Another plea for monthly votes.
Comparing popularity with other NPCs was planned to write, but it will mainly be in the Star Ocean chapter. The combat power in the beginner village is too low. Writing about the rise in popularity now is mainly because Bai Fu’s previous setting was purely a deer person, and her status needs to be elevated first.
