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

"Do you think I should really save up to go to Shelter No. 5?"

"Depends on what you want, but I'm not planning on going through that hassle. It's not about the money, but traveling there means days without gaming. I've decided to join the Old Republic right here."

"Argh, this is so frustrating!"

Similar conversations were unfolding over and over again on the Ancestral Origin Star channel of Star Travel Society.

After hearing that going to Shelter No. 5 could mean a chance to meet Bai Fu and join the Silent Court camp she was a part of, many players were tempted. However, realizing the shelter was far from their current location, a good number of them began to reconsider.

Amidst this growing sentiment, something suddenly stirred in Digging Girl's livestream room, and the stream's title changed to—

"Digging Girl teaches you how to fight monsters and level up!"

What?

Whether they were fans of Digging Girl or fun-seekers who came after hearing the news, everyone was shocked to see the title.

You know exactly how terrible you are at this game, don't you? You fumble even with a guide, and now you're going to teach others how to fight and level up? Isn't that far too presumptuous?

"Babe, if you're out of content, better not to force it. Listen to me, change the stream title back."

"Seriously, forget about leveling up by fighting monsters. Just stream Fufu's profile instead."

A flurry of comments flew across the screen.

But Digging Girl seemed to ignore them completely. After a while, she started the stream without hesitation.

The time was late at night.

The setting was a boundless desert.

Thanks to the night vision feature of the streaming camera, all the players squatting in the stream could clearly see the smug smile on Digging Girl's face.

"It seems like you guys don't really believe in me," Digging Girl said, hands on hips, and surprisingly she looked quite cool against the night backdrop. "But that's okay, I'm serious today."

She turned around and pointed at the ruins in the distance.

"Let me first explain the situation here. Not long ago, a group of wanderers robbed the civilians in the desert. After the robbery, they drove west, and now they're resting in the spot I'm pointing at.

"Just now, Fufu assigned me a task. The objective is to take down this group of wanderers. According to observations, there are 10 of them—not too many, not too few. Their average level is 8, and the toughest of them has already unlocked an Advanced Profession.

"Alright, watch my moves and see how I complete the task!"

As she spoke, Digging Girl pulled out two guns.

Her confident demeanor dumbfounded the players in the stream.

Is this really Digging Girl?

"Does Digging Girl have a twin sister?"

"I'm a longtime fan of two and a half years, and I can testify that Dig is an only child."

"What's the situation then? Was Digging Girl pretending to be a noob all this time?"

"No, dude, are you guys seriously discussing this? Let me put it this way, Dig is definitely going to face a huge embarrassment soon. We longtime fans have seen it happen many times. Every time she analyzes something passionately, the official gameplay proves her wrong. It's only because she met Fufu that she's had a chance to turn things around."

"Ah, she always gets the plot wrong and you guys still follow her?"

"That's what you don't understand. Do you think Dig is a plot analysis YouTuber? She's actually breaking-defenses YouTuber."

"Dig, don't go, there's an abyss ahead!"

Digging Girl glanced at the comments drifting by and the community discussion.

Hmph.

After thirty years on the east bank and thirty years on the west, today, hugging the right thigh, I'll let you all see what it means to dig the Heavenly Emperor!

She walked towards the other side with a calm face.

At that moment, she adjusted the camera angle to show her back, setting up a fixed position shot.

Consequently, what the players saw was a scene of a solitary gunman braving danger, walking toward the huge shadow in the distance for love and justice.

What if she never returned?

Then she would never return!

Why did it feel so touching to watch that shrinking figure?

"Do you think there's a chance that Digging Girl is a genius at abstract thought?"

While the players were doubting Digging Girl, Old Nison who was sitting in the car with Bai Fu also intervened.

"We can still call her back now. There's not a sign of fitness on her; sending her to face those wanderers is like making a joke of her life."

Bai Fu just smiled and said, "No rush, just watch."

Unless Digging Girl liked to show off as much as a Super Saiyan, there was no way she could lose to those mediocre wanderers with a shield value of 450 points.

With Bai Fu's opinion, Old Nison could do nothing but watch.

Now blind and lame, the only thing he could do was pray for Digging Girl.

Bai Fu started the car and slowly followed Digging Girl's steps.

Several minutes went by, and finally, Digging Girl reached the outskirts of the ruins.

"One, two... ten, good, they're all here." She switched the live broadcast to a side view once again, "Now, watch me take on ten at once!"

Right after shouting that, she immediately activated the Spiritual Ability Shield Prayer Card given to her by Bai Fu. A subtle glow emanated from the white card, and in a flash, an additional white shield bar appeared on her blood bar.

Without further hesitation, she walked out from behind the wall, holding her two guns.

"Huh, who are you?"

A wanderer, who was organizing his toolbox, noticed Digging Girl and quickly stood up, his voice successfully drawing the attention of everyone around.
