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

True Spirit Black Fu lacked intelligence, but upon receiving orders, she possessed a certain degree of autonomy.

To Bai Fu, Black Fu seemed like an AI in its very basic stages.

It was just the right amount of stupidity, especially this level of simplicity.

Had Black Fu possessed her own consciousness, exploiting her would not have been so simple.

After realizing that Black Fu had all the body parts a normal human female should have, and that she could indeed control Black Fu, Bai Fu's positioning of Black Fu was not just as a True Spirit to assist her in combat.

Smart people would quickly guess what she intended to do with Black Fu.

Yes.

Look at those hands, how beautiful! It would be a shame not to use such beautiful hands to make Prayer Cards and Spiritual Ability Collectors!

As the number of players in Silent Court grew and the sales of Prayer Cards soared, the biggest obstacle to Bai Fu becoming "Fubus" turned into those players who were unwilling to spend money and the production capacity of the Prayer Cards.

She temporarily solved the first problem through trial playing, and with Black Fu's appearance, the second problem was also smoothly resolved.

"When going out for tasks or running plots, let Black Fu be my bodyguard."

"Let Black Fu stay at home and make cards while I'm loafing about in the shelter."

"When it's time to sleep... let Black Fu make cards as well."

True Spirits are not humans, they don't feel fatigued, and don't need to eat to replenish energy, they just require a cooldown and consume some spiritual energy after being re-summoned.

Bai Fu usually only spent a short period making cards which was enough to satisfy the current players of Silent Court.

If Black Fu spent a large amount of time making cards, it could not only meet the increased needs of Silent Court players but also sell the extra cards through Gao Yuan or the Dark Web, earning a fortune.

A True Spirit that could work 24 hours a day without feeling tired was just too great!

Having achieved a great harvest, Bai Fu shattered the terminal in front of her with a shot before its self-destruction.

After she put the gun away, Little Julia's voice suddenly rang out.

"What is this?"

Seeing Black Fu appear out of nowhere and then float away, Little Julia was utterly shocked; she had never seen such a thing before and thought for a moment it was another soul hidden inside Bai Fu.

"True Spirit."

Bai Fu didn't know how to explain it to Little Julia, as she herself didn't quite understand what a True Spirit really was, so she opted to speak less and appear more profound.

However, one thing caught her attention, Julia's Template was True Spirit's Child, which meant Julia was her and Black Fu's child, wait, that was impossible.

Better jot this down in a notebook, and investigate if related tasks come up.

Bai Fu walked out of the deepest room on floor -2, and by then, Black Fu had already charged in front of the level 33 Sandworm mini-boss.

"Fufu, charge!"

"Whirlwind Charge Tornado!"

In the rooms alongside the corridor, players who had luckily survived cheered as they watched the show, but their cheers turned to bewildered murmurs as they noticed something odd.

Wait, why did Bai Fu's hair turn black again, and...

[It's the prison guard!]

[Where are my shoes, where have my shoes gone?]

[Thanks for the invite, I threw them away, they were superfluous.]

Then, an even stranger event occurred. When Black Fu blinked in front of the Sandworm and delivered a mighty blow, Bai Fu walked out of the room.

Watching Black Fu with black hair and Bai Fu with white hair, the players in the research facility and those in the live stream were baffled.

Damn, why are there two Bai Fus?

One black and one white, Black and White Impermanence?

Most players had lost interest in the battle between Black Fu and the Sandworm by now, game streamers like Digging Girl who hadn't been at the scene were now frantically red-eyed.

Holy crap, big news, super big news, there must be a huge secret behind this!

[Family, wait for my new miscellaneous talk video]

Digging Girl hurriedly began to make a new video, and other streamers didn't hold back either.

Bai Fu casually stood in the corridor. She loved watching players guess her true identity, whether they reacted with shock or criticism; it was all good for popularity!

But what she was more focused on now was Black Fu's combat prowess.

The level 33 Sandworm boss was stronger than Graham according to the data on the panel but weaker than the Mechanic Qi Yuan. Black Fu's strength was slightly better than her combat against Qi Yuan, attributes were similar, but she had several more skills.

Normally, Black Fu should overwhelm this Sandworm boss.

The only thing Bai Fu worried about was that Black Fu was too simple-minded. Without direct control, she could only perform repetitive tasks, thus not being able to utilize her full power.

However, after just a few seconds, she realized her worries were a bit unnecessary.

Black Fu was simply a combat genius!

Black Fu could not only skillfully use all her skills, but she also executed blood swaps impeccably.

Fervor-boosted fists zipped straight into the Sandworm's left cheek, denting the vulnerable area into a small pit. The Sandworm screamed in pain, raising its two ugly forelimbs covered in pus-filled blisters due to infection.

"Be careful, we can't take it head-on!"

A nearby player shouted loudly.

Initially, when the Sandworm had appeared, some players tried to control it with Space Disarray, aiming to outnumber and defeat it, bursting it for massive Experience points. Space Disarray did work, but all the players who rushed up and merely touched the blisters on the Sandworm exploded instantaneously. Even the Spiritual Ability Shield couldn't save them. Once infected, Life Value decreased by a percentage!
