When You Become an NPC That Might Die Any Moment in the Novice Village-Chapter 442 - 164 The true female lead Bai Fu’s Descent, the fourth Catastrophe VS traditional Catastrophe [6k]_2
"I'm going, starting off this big?"
Players were surprised, as they had been full of anticipation for this voyage across the Star Sea, but weren't expecting to receive such a rewarding high-level task right off the bat.
When some of the players posted screenshots of the task in the Community, it immediately sparked intense discussion.
These discussions were tinged with envy.
[My god, I've been grinding away at the main task all day, and compared to the task Bai Fu casually released, mine is trash.]
[Is this the advanced map, huh? Heroes who enter the Star Sea are just stronger than those who don't.]
[I want to join the Star Sea winning party too! Damn it, next time I must win win win!]
Watching the replies in the post, the player who posted it laughed heartily, delighted.
Envious, aren't you? Jealous, right?
But there's nothing you can do about it—the winning party is obviously only for those who won in the testing phase, so the rest of you can just watch how we follow Fufu in this super big winning party and win big!
A single task easily riled up the emotions of players on the spaceship, on Ancestral Origin Star, and other places—that's the power of Bai Fu.
As the Star Sea Enchantress, Bai Fu's allure went far beyond these little tricks.
Swishing her little tail, moving her feet—these were just the basics; her true killer move could get the players' blood boiling.
What do players look for in a game?
Thrills! Fortuitously, she can now give the players that snap-thrill.
Appearing suddenly with players in tow during Fei Ye's busiest hour has two advantages.
The first advantage is to boost Fei Ye's Affinity, highlighting her own importance; the second is greatly enhancing the engagement in the story for these players freshly emerged from Newbie Planet, who still know nothing of the Star Sea.
Having just arrived in the Star Sea and being able to participate in a major task, and even playing the role of a Savior in this task, being watched and praised by NPCs, such an extraordinary gaming experience would definitely excite the players—if it doesn't, Bai Fu would perform a live squeezing of Julia!
"In this day and age, there aren't many NPCs like me who always consider the players' gaming experience. The planning team better give me another good look when they roll out the next update—I'm the one who has bled for the game's popularity!"
Bai Fu muttered to herself proudly.
Of course, she had ulterior motives for going to great lengths to enhance these players' gaming experience; after all, she wasn't a real Female Bodhisattva who loved to hand out benefits. Her main goal was to make this batch of players archetypal, to give other players an impression—
Look sharp, being behind Fu Fu is this exhilarating!
With that, as the 2.0 version launched and other players entered the Star Sea, they would unconsciously compare their own experiences with those of this batch of players.
How do they compare?
Bai Fu was 100% confident that these players couldn't match up, and by then, her popularity was sure to surge. What she needed to do was to boost her Reputation and involvement in the main storyline as much as possible before this surge in popularity. With just a bit of promotion from Digging Girl, it was inevitable that a lot of players would think she is the main character in the Sea Lion Star System, even the Edge World.
With this recognition, many things would become easier to handle.
"Everyone, be prepared, we could depart at any moment to provide support!"
After briefing the players, Bai Fu teleported to her room to make final preparations.
Preparations meant, in fact, observing the situation on Heavenly Lake Star through Black Fu and the live streams of the players on the scene.
The reason why the catastrophes caused by the Dark Domain Insect Clan and Starry Sky Giant Beasts are called a Flood Disaster is mainly because the onslaught of the Dark Domain Insect Clan comes as sudden and vehement as a flash flood.
Numerous swarms, fierce combat determination, and a variety of mysterious abilities—when these three elements combined, they spawned the nightmare of the entire Star Sea. Not just the Star Network Community, even the three great cosmic civilizations would tremble before an ultra S-grade Flood Disaster.
The best strategy to combat a Flood Disaster is to dispatch a super-scale mechanical army. The Star Network Community does possess a vast number of mechanical troops, but as a common Star System Level civilization, their mechanical troops, both in Level and number, are insufficient to crush the Dark Domain Insects. However, the critical issue lies elsewhere—in this Catastrophe, the disaster erupted simultaneously in multiple locations, forcing the Star Network Community to allocate more mechanical troops to those locations without a mercenary presence.
Hence, the main forces on Heavenly Lake Star, ranked from strongest to weakest, were mercenaries hired from all over, various military fortresses, elite Interstellar Soldier Legions, and the local stationed forces from Heavenly Lake Star itself.
"Note, we have no reinforcements, no reinforcements! We must hold out for half a month without reinforcements!"
"We can't retreat any further; if we give up on Heavenly Lake Star today, tomorrow we may have to surrender the places we call home. We must stop the Flood Disaster right here!"
"Unless absolutely necessary, the fleet won't mobilize just yet. We have to wait, wait until Dark Domain Insects' Biological Battleships and Brain Worms can't sit still and come at us, then we strike. We cannot let them escape; if they do, it won't take them long to return more powerful than before!"
Manu made his final rallying call, exuding strong confidence in every move. In truth, not just him but even the executives of the Star Contract couldn't guarantee with certainty that this entrusted task would be successfully completed.
