When You Become an NPC That Might Die Any Moment in the Novice Village
Chapter 689 - 239 Physical Development, Bai Fu Becomes the Focus of Edge World【5k】_2
CHAPTER 689: 239 PHYSICAL DEVELOPMENT, BAI FU BECOMES THE FOCUS OF EDGE WORLD【5K】_2
"Bloodthorn, if his mind is still clear, would only hide in crowded places. This tactic is very effective against ordinary people or ordinary machinery, as he just needs to slightly adjust his bone structure and facial features to avoid being tracked. But against players, it has no meaning at all," Bai Fu said with a delighted smile.
Players possess Reconnaissance Skill, and when it’s activated, if the attributes of a certain NPC cannot be fully explored, that person is most likely Bloodthorn!
After all, Homeland Star is just an ordinary planet with a population of less than a billion. Not to mention Superpower Users of S-rank, even those of A-rank rarely come here.
When players spot a suspicious person, she would double-check to make sure no innocent people were wronged.
[Fufu, we’ve found a suspicious person here.]
[Fufu, we’ve also found a suspicious person here.]
The manhunt for Bloodthorn began on the 12th of the Star Calendar. By the 13th, viewers watching the live broadcast from various devices were increasingly shocked.
At the start of the program, everyone was equally shocked, but they were shocked by Bai Fu’s ability to almost obliterate the Catastrophe Army. As for whether Bai Fu could catch Bloodthorn, who was in hiding, most people thought it would be very difficult.
This could be seen from the poll initiated by Atomic News, where around 91% of the audience thought Bloodthorn could escape.
However, after one day, this number had dropped to 48%, less than half.
The reason was simple, within one day, although the players Bai Fu sent out didn’t find Bloodthorn, they pulled out more than a dozen hidden fugitives, including three somewhat famous interstellar fugitives, with a total bounty of over 300,000 Credit Points.
Actually, not only the viewers found it shocking, but Bai Fu herself found it outrageous.
She seemed to have discovered a new way to generate income.
Letting players catch interstellar fugitives, now that’s promising!
"Damn it, what’s the deal with these Undying People?"
In the slums of a large city on the East Coast of Homeland Star, Bloodthorn, heavily injured, kept running.
Just minutes ago, he had witnessed a group of Undying People capture a person on the street. It was a fugitive, who had crafted a very clever disguise, yet somehow was still instantly recognized.
The fugitive had tried to resist but those Undying People pulled out a Prayer Card and summoned a phantom Bai Fu, who knocked the fugitive out with a punch.
Bloodthorn was very fortunate that he was standing far away at the time; otherwise, he felt he would have been recognized too.
But this stroke of luck did not last long.
He had escaped this time, but what about next time?
Fear engulfed Bloodthorn.
Even when he had faced the Dominator before, he had not felt this desperate.
Now, like Hampton, he had no other choice but to keep running.
He ran through the muddy streets, he ran through filthy alleys, he ran through stinking ditches... Eventually, he ran into time itself, overlapping with his younger self at that moment.
This running figure, this was his fading youth.
He regretted his choices.
"Bloodthorn, you have nowhere to run now."
A cold voice suddenly rang out, pulling Bloodthorn from his memories.
He stood there dumbfounded. Not far from him, Bai Fu, leading a group of Undying People, blocked his path.
That small white figure standing opposite him now exuded an imposing aura like that of a mighty mountain.
"Do you have any last words, like who hired you to ambush me? I’ll make sure to send him to meet you soon, so you won’t feel lonely on the road to death."
Bloodthorn shook his head.
If Hampton hadn’t given him the formula for the Rose Flower Potion, he would have definitely reported Hampton by now, but not under these circumstances.
"Then there’s no helping it."
Bai Fu didn’t rush to kill Bloodthorn immediately but instead locked him up first; she still wanted to use the Superpower Evolution Tree Diagram to analyze Bloodthorn’s superpower.
During the analysis, she even tried to control Bloodthorn with the Spirit Lock.
Unfortunately, Bloodthorn’s level was too high, and the grade of the Spirit Lock too low, so it had no effect on him.
Therefore, after analyzing his superpower, Bai Fu decisively used the Dark Force Field to twist Bloodthorn into a pretzel, ensuring his absolute demise.
[You have killed...]
[You have completed the camp suppression task [Legion Fall].]
Two notifications sounded in succession.
Bai Fu checked the task reward. Including the kill reward, she had earned 3.8 billion Experience points, which seemed somewhat insignificant compared to the Experience squeezed from other players, but another reward from the task caught her eye.
It was a blueprint for a Spiritual Ability Construction named [Legion Holy Box].
The effect of the Legion Holy Box was to package a bunch of summon-type Prayer Cards into a [Legion]. After packaging, summoning a Legion would no longer require throwing out Prayer Cards one by one; using [Legion] directly would suffice.
Not only that, but the packaged [Legion] also received a certain level of enhancement compared to the original Legion.
The enhancement of a Lv1 Legion Holy Box is 5%, and for Lv10, it’s 20%.
This enhancement was very significant, so upon unlocking the Legion Holy Box, Bai Fu immediately purchased a batch of Spiritual Ability Crystals to max out the level of this newly acquired Spiritual Ability Construction.
"It’s been almost a year since I unlocked the fourth Spiritual Ability Slot. Finally got something useful."
Bai Fu was in high spirits.
The [Legion] allowed her to summon a Spiritual Ability Army whose combat power had skyrocketed, now comparable to an ordinary Weak Catastrophe.
The only problem was that her Legion still lacked a core commander, which would affect her own power if she had to split her focus to command them.
