When You Become an NPC That Might Die Any Moment in the Novice Village-Chapter 405 - 153 As if a deity has descended to the world, Bai Fu has brought the Fire of Hope_3
"Actually, I was also called a Hero before."
Bai Fu turned around, while nearby players roaming and playing cards perked up their ears.
"After the Ulyssian civilization was invaded by those people from the Chaotic Star Road, to ensure our civilization's survival, many Superpower Users stood up. We actively resisted the invaders, roamed the Star Sea, trying to find a support for the Ulyssian civilization, but it was impossible. No one was willing to stick out their neck for a Ulyssian civilization that could offer no benefits. As time went by, more and more Superpower Users died in battle, but the situation did not get a bit better. Those who remained divided: some thought the Ulyssian civilization was utterly hopeless. They didn't want to die alongside this doomed civilization, preferring to chase their own futures. And then there were those like me."
Vic was silent for a while.
"I thought about leaving too, but my father had sacrificed too much for Ulysses. I wanted to leave at least a tiny spark for Ulysses. That way, in the future, at least someone will remember what he did."
"Anyway, after that great division, the spirit of the Ulyssians was nearly broken. No one called me a Hero anymore, and very few had any hope for the future. When the spaceship lands later, if somebody gives you a dirty look, I'd like to apologize in advance."
Bai Fu nodded in understanding.
After hearing Vic's words, players began to discuss amongst themselves.
[Wow, Ulysses Star is in far worse shape than Ancestral Origin Star]
[You'd know just how desperate life is here if you were brought into it]
[Damn it, I'm angry, the Chaotic Star Road, huh? I'll make a move after the 2.0 Star Sea update!]
[Holy moly, the Human Emperor has arrived!]
The players' emotions were all stirred up, wishing they could teleport to Ulysses Star this instant.
A few minutes later, a player standing by another window suddenly screamed out.
"What is that?"
Following the direction of his pointing finger, Bai Fu saw an almost circular area on the ground that was completely crystallized, a mix of white and black crystals intertwined like a scorching scar, making one's chest tighten at the sight.
Vic explained, "Decades ago, Ulysses was attacked by a large Pirate Group. To intimidate us, their flagship fired a Plasma Spear at the ground. The area was left like this under the scorching effect of the Plasma Spear." fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
My gosh, isn't this like firing at glass?!
Bai Fu's pupils shrank.
An attack of this caliber, let alone an A-level Superpower User, even an S-level Superpower User would find it hard to withstand head-on and would need to dodge first.
Amidst exclamations, the spaceship finally landed on the ground.
The hatch opened, and Vic was the first to step out. The environment of Ulysses Star was very different from Ancestral Origin Star: gravity, air composition, temperature—all were different. But for Bai Fu and the players, adaptation was still fairly easy.
The landing of the spaceship had already attracted the attention of the city nearby, looking like ruins, but not many people came to greet them—just a sparse few, with a little girl at the front who ran over happily when she saw Vic.
"Brother Vic, you're finally back!"
Vic greeted the little girl, while Bai Fu and the players looked around.
The situation in Ulysses was worse than they had imagined. The living areas were full of scars; the black buildings shaped like metal blocks were missing pieces here and there; the clothing looked very old, with only a few able to wear Battle Armor with a certain level of protection.
You really can't treat chives like this!
Bai Fu was speechless.
"These are the Interstellar Hunters I've hired for this mission, Silver Moon, and her followers," Vic introduced.
The Ulyssians didn't react much, having been frowning since they first appeared, and now they simply unfolded their brows a little, nodded, and said, "Welcome."
Ultimately, no one believed Bai Fu could solve the problem. Even if Bai Fu solved this problem, what about next time?
Bai Fu was an Interstellar Hunter, and hiring an Interstellar Hunter came at a high cost.
Although Vic had anticipated such a situation and had warned them in advance, he still felt quite embarrassed.
"I'm sorry, let's head to the city to inquire about the specific situation."
"Let's go." After walking a few steps, Bai Fu suddenly asked, "Vic, how old are you?"
Vic, puzzled, replied, "25 years old."
"Young man?"
"I am indeed quite young among the Ulyssians."
Bai Fu: "..."
No wonder that little girl called Vic 'brother'; but, really, it was hard to tell. The signs of hardship had always made her think Vic was about as old as Old Nison.
A 25-year-old A-level Superpower User, truly an NPC blessed with the Talent of Luck.
On the way into the city, Vic continued to brief Bai Fu on the situation in Ulysses.
Now, only the last three cities remained in Ulysses, with the population dropping from hundreds of millions at its peak to several hundred thousand. These cities could hardly be called cities; they were more akin to some of the settlements on Ancestral Origin Star. The only difference was that Ulysses had a higher level of technology and its architecture featured a metallic aesthetic. Even on the brink of civilization's end, those dilapidated buildings still exuded a chill sense of technology.
"Brother Vic is back!"
The little girl shouted ahead, and many people peeked out of their houses along the way. They just watched, silent.
At last, Vic led Bai Fu and the others to the Manager's residence to understand the situation.
The Manager was an elderly man, his eyes already becoming cloudy. When Vic entered, he was calculating how much food was left in the city.
