When You Become an NPC That Might Die Any Moment in the Novice Village-Chapter 336 - 137 Unprecedented Popularity, Bai Fu’s Path to the Throne [8k]

Bai Fu led Julia and the players through the main thoroughfare of Bai Fu Town.

The sides of the road were packed with cheering crowds and fluttering confetti; occasionally, the sound of celebratory cannons could be heard, as if to herald the birth of a king.

These NPCs had all come out on their own initiative, not paid by Old Nison or Sean to put on a show.

This was a genuine hero's welcome!

All the players were treated like this for the first time.

They had had similar experiences in other games, but how could scripted cutscenes compare to the sensory rush of nearly 100% realism in Stars Above?

The players, covered in colored confetti, were triumphant.

"Live stream it! Hurry up and make others green with envy!"

The tale of Bai Fu taking down the Truth Society Chairman had already spread through the Community, but it was only now that players from different regions got the chance to see her victorious return.

[Fair maiden on a fiery steed, who doesn't recognize Goli the king!]

[That doesn't rhyme, send it back and rewrite.]

[Let me introduce, this is my wife.]

[I can't even imagine if all these NPCs stood by the road to welcome me, how high I'd float.]

[Float my ass, NPCs are mainly cheering for Fufu, everyone else is just incidental.]

The players in the live chat were jubilant, and the content creators began to freely interpret the big event when Bai Fu finally brought Julia in front of Old Nison.

"As promised, I have brought her back."

Julia mustered her spirit and managed a slight smile for Old Nison.

"Uncle Nison, long time no see."

She didn't speak much, not because she didn't want to, but because she couldn't.

She regretted it a bit; she should have refrained from giving Bai Fu that magic refilling, and researched it slowly after returning.

Now, Bai Fu was comfortable, but she was left utterly exhausted, turning into a "mute" in this long-awaited reunion after all these years.

Old Nison's hands were trembling, his eyes blurred with tears. He looked at Julia, then at Bai Fu, feeling like it was all a dream.

"It's good to have you back, good to have you back."

Months ago, he had been at the lowest point of his life, like a candle in the wind that might be extinguished at any moment, but in an instant, his life had flipped from Hell mode to Easy mode.

His wishes had come true; the traitors slain, enemies vanquished, and now his foster daughter had returned—all thanks to Bai Fu. It was just a pity that he had aged and was severely injured, unable to repay Bai Fu how much he wished to, even if he exerted all his strength.

Amidst the joy, Old Nison felt a poignant sadness.

Then, Bai Fu suddenly called out to him, "I brought you something good from the Truth Society, an Enhancement Potion. After you've absorbed it, you should be able to restore your power and further advancement is also within the realm of possibility."

A potion bottle was thrust into his hand; staring at the translucent glass container, Old Nison felt emotions storming his heart.

With such treatment, how could he not serve loyally to the death?

"Thank you, thank you."

Under the escort of many, Bai Fu found a new place for the drowsy Julia next to her own house.

Youth is such an advantage—falling asleep as soon as she hit the pillow.

Watching Julia lie down before leaving, Bai Fu was still bursting with energy.

She had just fought fiercely and driven continuously for a whole day, but she remained lively, thanks to the players. Just thinking about how she could once again reap a harvest of money and experience points from the players, she heated up with excitement, her eyes gleaming red.

"My pockets are starving!"

Everyone said she was a Charming Demon, and since she was, of course, a good Charming Demon needed to feed regularly.

Hey hey, children, I'm your good friend, Bai Ge, I'm freaking here!

Bai Fu contacted Gao Yuan and An Ya immediately.

"Court Master, you have finally returned!"

Hearing the voice from the terminal, Gao Yuan felt like he had encountered a savior.

He had placed his future entirely on Bai Fu, but even with all his courage, he would never have dared to predict Bai Fu could destroy the Truth Society—yet she had done it, and he found out from Dallas, the Dark Web's foreign liaison.

[The strongest Superpower User on Ancestral Origin Star][Once in a millennium beauty][The light of the wastelands][The Queen under the Silver Moon]

In the call, Dallas spared no effort in lavishing Bai Fu with splendid epithets.

Gao Yuan knew what he meant—Bai Fu's fearsome strength and achievements had awed him, and he wanted to establish ties.

Indeed, after a torrent of praises, Dallas cheerfully suggested that the Makarov Family wanted to work with Silent Court, both parties pooling their efforts to build a new comprehensive platform combining Assassin tasks and formal commissions, capturing most of the Ancestral Origin Star's contracts for Assassins and Mercenaries.

After ending the call with Dallas, Gao Yuan received many other similar inquiries.

Contacting him were arms dealers, construction companies, large settlements unaffiliated with the four major forces, medical procurement companies, and even media companies, all revealing their intentions to collaborate with the Silent Court.

Months before, he had no standing to speak with these forces; now the tables had turned, and he was the one they were courting.

Gao Yuan felt a bit elated, but while he might be carried away, he was acutely aware that all of this was made possible by Bai Fu.

"There are so many who want to cooperate?"

Bai Fu's eyes gleamed.

This was an opportunity, especially after forming a partnership with the Dark Web, she could issue more tasks to players, and more missions would help her recruit even more players.
