When You Become an NPC That Might Die Any Moment in the Novice Village
Chapter 585 - 585: 205 Catastrophe's Fury, Queen Fu Massacres in All Directions [5.5k]

"Ah!"

With a piercing scream, the Copper Furnace was stabbed to death by the Gunner summoned by Bai Fu.

[You have killed Copper Furnace, Contribution 100%, adjusted for Level difference you have earned 32 million Experience Value]

The pleasant notification sound rang out.

The experience rewards for killing enemies above the Stars is generally low; it encourages Players to undertake Tasks or accumulate experience through creating Profession-related items, such as crafting Prayer Cards and mechanical gadgets.

Despite this, as Copper Furnace was an S+ grade Superpower User, Bai Fu still received a whopping 32 million points of experience in one go.

Although this amount of experience didn't compare to what could be wrung out of Players, it was still the highest single kill experience reward Bai Fu had received to date.

One Copper Furnace was 32 million; if she killed all these Secret Tower members present, and added the extra rewards from the Golden Valley Star Defense Battle, could she not rake in 2 billion+ experience?

Of course, Bai Fu knew it would be difficult.

After all, she wasn't a true Catastrophe-level Superpower User. Aside from [All Things Ice], there were no other large-scale control Skills in the Superpower Well for her to use, and it would be hard to keep all the Secret Tower members here.

But this was also okay.

She hadn't planned to kill all the Secret Tower People anyway; if all these people died, then who would pass on the message "Cecilia has already betrayed the Secret Tower" to the Secret Tower Master?

Surely she couldn't deliver it herself; that would be too deliberate and even the slightest carelessness could expose her.

Bai Fu looked coldly at Foster.

The last scream before Copper Furnace's death nearly stopped Foster's heart, but it was precisely this shock that allowed him to regain control of his body.

He gasped for breath like a survivor who had nearly drowned.

The fear of death Bai Fu spoke of, he felt it deeply!

If even Copper Furnace was no match for Bai Fu, how could he, inferior to Copper Furnace, possibly withstand Bai Fu's assault?

He just didn't understand now.

"With your power, you could have killed us directly, so why did you bring us here? What exactly are you plotting?"

Foster voiced his thoughts, and for a moment, all eyes were on Bai Fu.

Since Foster was in the mood to stall for time, Bai Fu was naturally happy to oblige; the longer the delay, the more Skills she could absorb.

"Plotting?"

Bai Fu looked around and suddenly laughed, a somewhat unnerving laugh.

"What do you think I'm doing this for? Of course, it's for Cecilia!"

How did it come back to me again?

Cecilia's face flushed red.

If she didn't think she could defeat the Catastrophe-level Bai Fu, and that going up to fight her would mean throwing her life away, Cecilia, standing behind Bai Fu at that moment, would have charged forward to stab Bai Fu fiercely in the buttocks!

Darn it, to keep spreading rumors about me, I'd stab you to death!

"Although Cecilia has never mentioned it to me, through the times we've fought against you and by eavesdropping on your conversations, I've come to know that you've always been using Cecilia, but you've never truly respected her. She saved you, and still, you secretly curse her as a monster—I don't even want to think about how you've bullied her normally!"

Bai Fu's speech became faster and more intense as she spoke until it was almost a shout.

After her outburst, she walked up to Cecilia, reached out with her cold left hand, and gently caressed Cecilia's face, which by now was stunned.

"Cecilia, rest assured, the pain they caused you, I will return it to them piece by piece!"

Cecilia was at a loss for words.

Damn it, so Bai Fu's acting has been connected from beginning to end, huh?

Actually, she should have known after their encounter on Ulysses Star; Bai Fu was not only good at acting but also enjoyed being a Movie Queen.

However, to be honest, she did not dislike the sensation of Bai Fu's fingers brushing over her cheek, cool yet warming; what she disliked was that none of this was within her control.

She was the Spider Monster, the Weaver, weaving fates and crafting futures, but now, she, like Foster and the rest, became a plaything in Bai Fu's hands.

Cecilia couldn't figure it out.

With Bai Fu's strength, why not just kill her directly, why toy with her like this?

Was there a deeper scheme at play, or was Bai Fu simply a person of terrible character who took pleasure in toying with others?

She really wanted to launch Bai Fu flying, but their gap in power…

Cecilia clenched her teeth, about to curse out Bai Fu when abruptly, Bai Fu withdrew her hand. Eh, why stop now?

Bai Fu turned to face Foster.

At this moment, Foster and the others were feeling a chill crawl up their scalps.

So that's it, it all made sense now.

Bai Fu wasn't eager to kill them because she wanted to exact revenge for Cecilia in front of her!

Thinking of the scene where Bai Fu and Cecilia hugged earlier, Foster couldn't help but feel moved—

What a poignant love story!

If he were an observer, he would have stood up and applauded by now, but being a participant, and one of the group who bullied Cecilia at that, what was he still standing around for?

"We'll fight her with all we've got!"

Foster yelled out.

The shout echoed in the cavern, baffling everyone present, including Bai Fu.

Wait, Bai Fu was a Catastrophe-level Superpower User, and they were expecting us to fight her? Was he insane or were they all?

As everyone knows, the gap between Catastrophe and S+ level is much greater than the gap between S+ and S level.

After all, one is an Awakening, the other is Transferring Professions.
