[Stepping on my toes]

"This wave of publicity is probably going to keep the Bai Fu Fund I set up extremely busy."

Bai Fu was beaming with joy.

She urgently convened a meeting to discuss preparations for establishing a second base.

In the future, Dark Moon Tide would spend a lot of time near the Tem Civilization, so to avoid running back and forth, it was necessary to buy a planet near the Tem Civilization to build the second base.

In addition to the second base, Bai Fu also proposed deepening cooperation with Star Network and mobilizing players to help clear out the criminals active in Chaotic Star Road.

By doing this, on the one hand, she wanted to work on an image project to strengthen the general public's perception in Star Sea that "Bai Fu is a Saintess."

Only when everyone believed she was a Bodhisattva with a Bodhisattva heart could she better secretly take advantage of them.

On the other hand, it was about giving players something to do, allowing them to earn more Experience while subtly enticing them to purchase her Prayer Cards and [Legion] suits.

Recently, players of Silent Court had made a fair bit of money by defeating Bloodthorn using her power, and it was time to transfer the money earned by the players into her own pockets.

At first, Bai Fu wanted to make money from players by holding celebrations, but considering the last celebration was less than a year ago, she changed her approach.

Instead, she would issue a Task to defeat advanced monsters; to accomplish the Task, players would come to her shop to spend money of their own accord.

This method of making money wasn't as fast as holding celebrations, but the advantage was that she didn't have to offer discounts to players and wouldn't make them think that constant events were just a ploy to swindle their money.

Exploiting players was just like exploiting Cecilia; it was not only about skill, but also about the diversity and organic combination of these skills.

Without changing tactics occasionally, just like with medication, it was possible for resistance to build up!

Everyone agreed with Bai Fu's proposal, and the people at Star Network were also thrilled. They had long wanted to clean up the troublemakers on Chaotic Star Road, and now that Bai Fu had volunteered to help, they had no reason to refuse.

After she had taken care of these matters, Bai Fu was temporarily free.

Her daily routine was to check on the work of the little Black Fus in the factory in the morning, make an appearance before the players at noon, and stack layers of the Apostle's Heart in Julia's laboratory in the evening.

Whenever she had some spare time, it was spent listening to Cipris' nagging.

"Bai Fu, Bai Fu, when will you help me recover my power?"

"Soon, very soon, within this year."

At this crucial time, Bai Fu didn't have the capacity to handle the conflict between Cipris and the Dark Domain Insect Clan Empress.

Both Fei Ye and Cecilia wanted to take advantage of Bai Fu's free time, but they were so busy watching each other that in the end, they both missed out, and Julia took all the time for herself.

"Not contending, is also a kind of contention."

Julia "occupied" the laboratory above, utterly calm.

Two days later.

"Two pieces of good news, which would you like to hear first?" Julia lifted her communicator.

Bai Fu said, "Since they are both good news, there's no need to choose, just tell me."

Julia nodded, "The first piece comes from the Undying People; an Undying named [Loving the Train] says he has found a suspected assassin from the Tem Civilization, an alien on a Dark Domain planet called [Boli]. The second piece of good news is that Nellis reached out again, very earnestly this time, wanting to invite you to visit his Governor District."

Bai Fu sprang from her chair, "Indeed good news, if communication goes smoothly, we are going to be busy again."

She quickly took out her communicator and contacted Nellis.

"I would be happy to visit your Governor District, Mr. Nellis, but I hope you can answer one question for me."

"What question?"

"The assassin who attempted to kill the current Leader of Tem Civilization, was it you or someone from your side who sent them?"

"I can't prove it, but my answer is, it was not."

"Since you've said as much, then, before I visit your Governor District, I'm planning to send you a meeting gift."

Bai Fu had her ways to tell if Nellis was lying.

Once she caught the assassin, all she needed to do was to monitor the changes in Nellis's Affinity towards her; if it plummeted, that would mean Nellis had lied.

After ending the conversation with Nellis, Bai Fu immediately left the laboratory to gather her troops, preparing to head to Boli Star to capture the suspect.

Opportunities like this should not be missed.

If they waited too long, the assassin might be captured by someone sent by the Tem Civilization Leader or have fled elsewhere.

While Bai Fu was busy with her preparations, there was also a flurry of contention on Nellis's side.

"Bai Fu is rather disrespectful, isn't she? Governor Nellis has invited her three times already, and she's still using the meeting gift as an excuse to delay."

"Is it possible she has already reached cooperation with others?"

"Maybe she just doesn't want to get involved in the Tem Civilization's strife."

"Perhaps she really is preparing a meeting gift?"

The room was filled with noisy arguments, most people felt there was no need to contact Bai Fu anymore.

Without Bai Fu, couldn't they still compete against Gustav and others?

It made no sense.

They also had the support of a Cosmic Civilization, and who here wasn't a respected and powerful presence? They had all experienced their moments in the limelight, perhaps just longer ago than Bai Fu and without her topicality.

Nellis rubbed the scar above his eye.

He quite understood the thoughts of the people in the room.

Would they still be Resubmission Level if they weren't ambitious?

But he still wanted to ally with Bai Fu as much as possible.

Bai Fu's own power was not enough to influence the bigger picture, as there were several Dominators actively working in secret, however, her hundreds of thousands of Undying People were different.

Nellis had done his research; the Undying People not only do not die, but their power also rose very quickly, with some now being able to contend with weaker A-level Superpower Users.

If he could secure the support of Bai Fu and her Undying People, he should be able to securely stand his ground quickly once war broke out, and then seize the lead in the ensuing chaos.

"With Bai Fu's character, she shouldn't be fooling me, so what could the meeting gift she sends me be?"

Nellis was filled with anticipation.
