When You Become an NPC That Might Die Any Moment in the Novice Village

The meeting with Digging Girl had been scheduled several days ago; at the time, she had said she wanted to conduct an exclusive interview, and Bai Fu promptly agreed.

[Popular NPC Bai Fu on the Stars accepts a player interview for the first time!]

Using the first time as a selling point would undoubtedly attract a lot of players' attention, and she was going to take this opportunity to promote her Ancestral Origin Star reconstruction plan.

Say something ambiguous to pique interest, lest some players staying at the Silent Court suddenly take off.

To make the interview video more appealing, Bai Fu had deliberately changed her clothes to give players a sense of novelty.

A straw hat, a goose-yellow dress, white peep-toe flats...

She looked very fresh, relaxed, as if she were going to meet friends on a holiday.

That was her goal, to try to give the players a feeling of closeness with her.

"Recently, some people have slandered me as a farm owner, treating players like serfs—that's bullshit!"

"Players are my family; I always consider my family in everything I do, I would never do anything to harm them!"

However, Bai Fu had never imagined that, after she let Digging Girl into the house, the first words out of her mouth would be about finding the location of the Truth Society's base.

"Holy shit!"

Bai Fu blurted out, and realizing she had let slip an inelegant term, she covered her mouth, feigning nonchalance.

"How did you find it?"

The surprise came so suddenly that it took her a moment to calm herself.

Digging Girl hadn't expected such a big reaction from Bai Fu, and she felt somewhat glad she had recorded that scene—it would make the new episode explode with attention.

"Here's what happened."

Digging Girl explained, pulling out two maps, one large and one small.

The large map had a red X that marked the specific location of the Truth Society's main base, the red X was in the area directly translated as Deep Sleep Land to the north of the Genetic Primordial and the Old Republic. This was somewhat unexpected for Bai Fu; it seemed the Truth Society's main base was actually very far from Marske Laboratory, although considerably closer to Black Hawk Base.

No wonder the players she sent towards Marske had come back with nothing.

The small map was drawn by Master Tai'er and illustrated the interior of the Truth Society's main base. Since his movements were quite limited, the area shown on the map was also limited, but it clearly marked the precise location of the laboratory, which was still very useful.

A message that Master Tai'er had asked Digging Girl to relay caught Bai Fu's attention.

"The Truth Society took them to the main base to try a drug related to Spiritual Energy; the drugs they tested came from an Experiment that was locked up, and only the laboratory head, Ed, could access that Experiment."

Could this laboratory be Julia's true form?

"Wait a moment."

Bai Fu hurried into the bedroom to tell Little Julia the news.

"Thus is me."

Brilliant!

Bai Fu mentally gave Master Tai'er a big thumbs-up.

The benefits of having a good relationship with players were much greater than Bai Fu had imagined; had she not encountered Master Tai'er, a player with the ambition to be the king of spies, during her ambush on Graham, she really might not have been able to pinpoint the Truth Society's main base so quickly.

"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

Bai Fu became excited.

She had to take this chance to rescue Julia; by doing so, she would not only deal a heavy blow to the Truth Society but also complete the main storyline [Watcher's Lament]. The rewards from completing a main storyline would undoubtedly give her power a big boost.

"A frontal assault is out of the question; if the Truth Society Chairman gets ruthless and decides to bring Julia down with him, that would be disastrous."

Bai Fu decided to wait until the Truth Society began to execute the big event mentioned in Master Tai'er's intelligence before making her move. That way, the main base of the Truth Society would become vulnerable, significantly increasing her success rate in the rescue.

But this still wasn't very safe; what if the Truth Society Chairman learned of the attack on the main base and abandoned the operation to defend it with all his might?

"That's when it's time for other forces to make their move."

Bai Fu already had a plan.

If the surprise attack weren't going smoothly, then she would reveal the location of the Truth Society's main base to other forces, getting them to send support. If the surprise attack went well, she would inform the other forces that the Truth Society was "up to something big," soliciting their help to prevent the Truth Society from reinforcing.

This was the best plan she could think of to maximize her interests.

She was actually quite confident about the surprise attack; her power was not to be underestimated, and she had saved up quite a lot of Experience these days. She would be able to strengthen herself even more once the actual operation began.

"Wait for my good news."

After greeting Little Julia, Bai Fu found Digging Girl again and gave her a Camp Task that could be completed with a simple click, as a reward for passing on important information.

"Don't tell anyone else about this for now. Oh, and please convey to Master Tai'er that I will remember his contribution. When he returns, I'll give him the reward a hero deserves!"

Digging Girl nodded repeatedly.

Bai Fu gestured for Digging Girl to sit on the chair, "Now that we've pretty much talked business, let's start the interview we mentioned earlier."

Digging Girl was somewhat delighted; she had thought today's interview would fall through, but Bai Fu remembered.

Maybe that's just Fufu, always considerate of others, truly touching!

...

After the interview, Bai Fu posted multiple rewards on the Dark Web to buy Spiritual Ability Knowledge, then she reached out to Gao Yuan, Su Li, and Insect Father Ferreira, among others, to help keep an eye out for any rare Spiritual Ability Knowledge.
