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

Actually, aside from these reasons, Bai Fu wanted to stock up on more clothes for another reason that couldn't be ignored: doing so could make money!

When she had talked about cooperation with Gao Yuan, she had specifically asked Gao Yuan to open a clothing store in Shelter No. 11 to blow players' Gold Coins, selling skins, hmph, if the official store could sell them, why couldn't Bai Fu?

As it turned out, her idea was correct; since the game's built-in clothes were very Ordinary, and even could be said to be a bit ugly, most players would head to a clothing store to buy a new outfit once they had a bit of spare change.

It didn't matter whether the clothes could add attributes or not; what was important was that they looked pleasing to the eye once worn.

According to Bai Fu's observations, the most purchased clothes in the clothing store were her own style of white shirt and tight black trousers. Such popularity, who wouldn't shout "Goods-Carrying Fairy" upon seeing her!

"At the current stage, the money earned from selling clothes isn't much, but as the number of players in Silent Court increases, and as the styles of clothes I carry increase, and as the functions of the clothes sold increase, the money earned from selling clothes might even surpass that made from selling equipment."

After all, once players leveled up, players of certain Professions could start making and selling equipment, but clothes were different; even if players could make them, they would not, because it's hard to sell clothes at a high price, making it not worth the effort.

This money still had to be earned by Bai Fu!

Hehe.

Before closing the Community, Bai Fu discovered another interesting post.

A player said that as soon as they posted Bai Fu's video on the short video platform, it immediately attracted a crowd of onlookers.

[Her name, please!]

[Whose new talent is this? She's pretty.]

[Is this a TV drama clip? This fighting feels so powerful, like one kick could explode my head.]

Amid the inquiries, members of the Fu Sect stood out and began preaching anew.

[Hello, sir, next I will introduce you to the Sect Leader of Fu Sect, Bai Fu...]

After several months of development, plus what had just happened, now Fu Sect's members had no shortage of materials to introduce Bai Fu.

Some people were disappointed when they heard it was a game character and left, but there were also some who had never played the game or were playing other games, who were drawn in.

Interesting!

[So I just have to join Silent Court to interact with her, right? Wait till I go register an account.]

[After registering an account, please make sure to choose Ancestral Origin Star as your Newbie Planet, then you will be randomly assigned a Newbie Village, and if you're not assigned Shelter No. 11, you can delete the account and start over.]

[Fufu has made it big now, managing to snatch players from other games.]

[That's the charisma of the number one Charming Demon in the Stars, undeniable!]

In no time, Bai Fu received a new nickname as "Charming Demon."

Bai Fu didn't mind the nickname that much; didn't Liu Bei also have the nickname "Number One Charming Demon of the Great Han"? She would love to have a bunch of players and NPCs cling to her wherever she went.

In any case, with the aid of short videos and the members of the Fu Sect, she had successfully drawn some new Players to the Stars Above. The number of these Players wasn't very many, but it was definitely a good start.

This meant Bai Fu was really starting to break out of her circle.

Right, breaking out just a little bit, but you couldn't say she hadn't, could you?

Everything starts somewhere, and next, as the heat of her iconic scenes fermented, as more and more players cosplayed her at conventions and the like, and as more and more secondary creations related to her appeared, her popularity would experience another burst.

"Bai Fu, has become not just Bai Fu but Bai Fu, capable of attracting new players to the Stars Above!"

Bai Fu chuckled.

Now the planners had no choice but to take her seriously.

Create more iconic scenes, and even if she can't become the entire game's mascot, she should have a decent chance of becoming the main character or an important character in the game's next version of promotional videos.

After all, she now had enough power and influence to affect a Newbie Planet like Ancestral Origin Star, and her Exploration Degree had reached 0.9% without her realizing it. Even if the planners didn't adjust anything about her, she would still become an NPC on Ancestral Origin Star whom one could not simply bypass.

"Decided, I must find a way to unlock an Advanced Profession before the new version arrives!"

Bai Fu casually closed the Community.

First things first, she had to complete this Task perfectly and get her hands on the fourth Spiritual Ability Knowledge Chain.

"Not a peep, could they have been discovered?"

After watching the Ocean Life Research Institute for a good while, Su Li grew a little restless and turned to ask Bai Fu.

Logically, after the Undying had entered the Research Institute and reported the breach of the defenses, there should have been some stir at the Institute, but now it seemed as if the place had fallen into a deep slumber.

Bai Fu remained calm, "Don't rush, wait a little longer, another fifteen minutes or so should be about right."

Su Li frowned slightly and finally nodded, not saying much else.

All they could do now was trust Bai Fu.

Bai Fu knew very well that things were progressing in the direction she had envisaged because she had been checking Community posts while simultaneously watching the Dragon of Catastrophe's live stream.

This time, Dragon of Catastrophe and Digging Girl had split up, Dragon of Catastrophe was responsible for infiltrating the Institute to record material and investigate, while Digging Girl relayed any intelligence she found through the live stream and private messages to Bai Fu, but they both didn't expect that Bai Fu could skip this relaying step entirely.

Hey, I can watch the live stream myself!

Because they were carrying Cedric's corpse, the players easily gained the trust of the Research Institute's guards—the guards only knew the number of players inside the defenses, not their specific appearances, so even when they saw Patrick and the others, they didn't detect anything unusual.
