Chapter 23: Ready to Sacrifice [Two in One]
Bai Fu's plan to upgrade her life path encountered a little accident, because it was becoming increasingly difficult for the Wildfire Gang to capture players alive.
As time went on, players were gradually able to protect themselves in battles with ordinary members of the Wildfire Gang.
This was due to the overall improvement of the players' levels, as well as the battle comparison video uploaded to the forum by Digging Ji a few days ago.
After watching the video, two groups of players stood up.
The composition of the first group of players was relatively complex.
Among them were handicraft masters, college engineering students who happened to be on vacation at home, hard-working siege lions who could only play games for an hour after get off work, and brothers who worked in water, electricity and civil engineering.
After seeing how free the manufacturing system on the stars was, they made full use of their knowledge and built a small handmade production base.
This production base can not only produce some small traps, but in the words of the big guys, as long as the materials are sufficient, you can even make guns by hand.
The second group of players was more pure, they were purely inhuman.
At first, they just learned from Digging Ji and others to throw lime and chili powder. After they found that most of the Wildfire Gang members wore goggles, they had to develop a new way of fighting.
Some players deliberately enchanted their weapons with feces, some players changed into women's clothes to seduce the lone Wildfire Gang members, and some players developed very practical taunting skills in the battle. He sprayed the ancestors of the four opponents with his own strength, creating a lot of sneak attacks for his teammates.
Under their inhumane operation, some Wildfire Gang members have begun to resist fighting with them.
With so little money a month, who the hell would risk their lives.
If you lose, you will die on the spot, and if you win, you will be disgusted for the rest of your life.
Bai Fu once saw a Wildfire Gang member who was hit by flying shit kneeling on the ground and vomiting constantly, crying bitterly while vomiting.
"Too brutal!"
Bai Fu felt a chill on her back.
She was very glad that she had established a good relationship with the players.
Facing such an unreasonable attack, even she would find it difficult to deal with it calmly, after all, she added all the points to her physique, not agility.
In addition to being afraid, Bai Fu keenly realized that this was a good opportunity.
When others didn't want to fight with the player, she took the initiative to propose to be sent out. If she couldn't brush up the favorability of the Wildfire Gang, she would write the word "Fu" backwards!
Facts proved that she was not wrong.
After hearing that she took the initiative to apply to fight the player head-on, the favorability of the Wildfire Gang boss directly increased by 21 points, from the original 12 to 33, and his attitude also changed from [Impressive] to [Appreciation].
Good, very good!
The Wildfire Gang boss was full of relief.
Looking at the determination in Bai Fu's eyes, he couldn't help but think of running under the sunset that day, which was his lost youth.
Once upon a time, he was also an ambitious young man, but as time went by, he eventually became a middle-aged man with hemorrhoids.
It can only be said that there are fewer and fewer outstanding young people like Bai Fu these days.
Smart, loyal, motivated...
If there are more people like Bai Fu in the Wildfire Gang, why worry about not being able to grow, and even move out of the corner of the abandoned cooling plant?
"You go to the director of the field department, he will assign you a new task." The leader of the Wildfire Gang paused, and then said, "You have performed very well these days. If you have any additional requirements, you can ask. I will try my best to meet your needs."
This is a pleasant surprise, and Bai Fu will naturally not be polite to him.
"Boss, if you say so, I do have a small request. I want to go to the library to borrow some books. I picked up a child outside. She is now at the age of studying. I want..."
The leader of the Wildfire Gang interrupted her: "Don't say it, I understand what you mean. Except for the locked library, you can enter other libraries at will in the future."
He threw out a card.
Bai Fu quickly took the card and expressed her gratitude.
After two days of grinding in the torture chamber, she had already upgraded the Psychic Apprentice to Lv7. Seeing that she was not far from the upper limit of Lv10, she wanted to go to the library to see if she could find a professional advanced knowledge book to avoid being stuck at the level.
After saying goodbye to the Wildfire Gang leader, Bai Fu went straight to the library without stopping.
Compared with the public library full of garbage, there are a lot more useful books in the advanced library.
Not only are there secondary professional knowledge books such as "Chef's Self-cultivation" and "Gold Miner", but there are also main professional knowledge books such as "Basic Boxing Teaching" and "Firearm Assembly".
The only problem is that there is no professional advanced knowledge book, not only for Psychic Apprentices, but also for other professions.
"Is the level cap of the Novice Village only 10, or are all the good stuff hidden in that locked library?"
Bai Fu searched the library for a few times, and finally found only a notebook related to psychic power. The name of the notebook was outrageous-
"Research Notes: Some Worthless Psychic Prayers (Freya Egmond/Author)"
Bai Fu: "..."
Good man, it turns out that she didn't get anything this time.
Bai Fu opened the notebook with some disbelief.
[Do you want to read "Research Notes."]
[Yes]
[You start reading "Research Notes.", low-level psychic expertise takes effect, your reading speed +10%, current progress 0.1%,]
After a few minutes, the progress bar successfully increased to 100%.
[During the reading process, you comprehended new skills [Power Surge (Inferior)], [Multiplier Amplification (Inferior)]]
Bai Fu opened the attribute panel.
[Template]: Normal
[Experience]: 191
[Main Occupation]: Psychic Apprentice Lv7 (0/7500), Vagrant Lv3 (0/1000)
[Secondary Occupation]: None
[Health]: 220/220
[Psychic Energy]: 55/55
[Attributes]: Strength 5, Agility 3, Constitution 22, Intelligence 3, Spirit 11, Inspiration 11
[Skills]:
Fanatical Lv1, Hardened Lv1, Psychic Vision, Natural Spirituality Lv1, Low-level Psychic Expertise, Power Surge (Inferior), Multiplier Amplification (Inferior)
[Talent]: None
[Attribute Points]: 0
[Reputation]: 1
[Faction]: Wildfire Gang (Faction Reputation 20)
Bai Fu's eyes swept over the two newly acquired skills.
Power surge (inferior), cooling time 10 seconds, consumes 20 points of spiritual energy to increase 3 points of strength, but the duration is only 60 seconds, and it will reduce 20% of physical strength, which is extremely cost-effective.
You should know that physical strength and attributes are closely related to the stars. When physical strength is reduced to a certain extent, it will cause temporary reduction of attributes. At the least, it will be as weak as being hit by a dog head, and at the worst, it will faint on the spot.
That multiplier increase (inferior) is even worse, with a cooling time of 1 second and consuming 5 points of spiritual energy. The effect is to make the duration of the buff effect of the next active skill used -50%. Who would use this skill to pit themselves for no reason?
"No wonder the name of the notebook is "Some Worthless Spiritual Prayers"."
Bai Fu's mouth twitched.
Fortunately, the skills in the game do not occupy skill slots, otherwise she would really lose a lot if she learned these two skills.
Just when she wanted to see if she had missed any books, she suddenly thought of a question.
If these two skills are used on yourself or your teammates, the effect is to increase your or your teammates' strength by 3 points within 30 seconds, and deduct 20% of your or your teammates' physical strength after 30 seconds.
But if it is used as an offensive skill on the opponent, the skill description becomes to deduct 20% of the opponent's physical strength after 30 seconds of channeling. The disadvantage is that the opponent's strength will be +3 during the channeling process.
Considering that the Psychic Apprentice is a fragile profession, it is generally impossible for the Psychic Apprentice to use this set of combined skills on his opponent.
In the early stage of the game, 3 points of strength is not a small value.
If you use this set of combined skills on the opponent, if you are accidentally approached by the opponent, before the opponent's physical strength is reduced, you may be beaten to death because of the opponent's added 3 points of strength.
But Bai Fu didn't have so many concerns.
She glanced at her physical fitness of 22 and smiled with relief. The tank-clad Psychic Prayer was fearless!
"Finally, it was not a wasted trip."
Bai Fu stood up and put the notebook back to its original position.
She walked around the library a few more times, and after confirming that she had not missed any books related to psychic power, she pushed the door and left, heading for the Field Affairs Department.
Since the Wildfire Gang leader had already greeted the Field Affairs Department, she received a new task as soon as she arrived there.
[You triggered the faction task [Counterattack]]
[Task introduction: In the fight with the outsiders, although the Wildfire Gang successfully gained the upper hand, a considerable number of Wildfire Gang members fell into fear. Their timid appearance dealt a heavy blow to the morale of the Wildfire Gang. The head of the Field Affairs Department was extremely dissatisfied with this, and he temporarily organized a surprise operation against the outsiders in order to reverse the decline]
[Task objective: Take advantage of the outsiders' unpreparedness to raid the temporary base established by the outsiders on the outskirts of the abandoned cooling plant, and show the majesty of the Wildfire Gang! ]
[Reward: Reward depends on contribution]
[Accept/Reject]
Bai Fu's eyes flashed.
After being hit hard by the player's outrageous operation, did the Wildfire Gang finally sit still?
She clicked to accept.
The director of the field department tapped the table: "Very good, you go and prepare first. We will meet here in half an hour and officially start the operation."
"Half an hour?"
Bai Fu was stunned for a moment.
So urgent?
She originally wanted to secretly notify the players to brush up their favorability, but half an hour was not enough time for her to go back and forth, so she had to give up the idea.
Complete the task today and apologize to the players tomorrow.
Bai Fu went to the logistics department and got a pair of goggles and a knife, and then returned to the field department.
As everyone began to gather, she saw Cao Wenliang coming over from a distance and whispered a few words to the director of the field department.
"Hmm?"
Bai Fu frowned slightly and quickly threw a clairvoyance skill to the director of the field department.
[Favorability]: Ignore (-3)
There is nothing wrong with this value, but Bai Fu was not relieved.
Cao Wenliang did not come out earlier or later, but at this time, he must have no good intentions.
"Could it be that he wants to kill me through this operation?"
Bai Fu thought it was very likely.
Especially after seeing the people who were assigned to the same operation as her, she was even more certain of this.
Among the four people, except for one whose favorability was positive, the highest one of the other three was only -25. If they said they were not here for a mission, no one would believe them.
Bai Fu remained calm.
With a "departure", she followed the large group to the temporary base built by the players.
An hour later.
The sun set in the west and the night fell.
In the ruins of the west area of the abandoned cooling plant, the director of the field department began to make the final arrangements: "Bai Fu, you and your team are responsible for the west. When you see the signal I send, don't hesitate, just rush in."
"No problem."
Bai Fu agreed without hesitation, and her eyes swept over the four people in the same group.
After leaving the main force, these people should start to act, right?
These days, they have been killing players, and it's time to change their taste. I just don't know how much experience these four people can get.
But the development of things is really beyond her expectations.
Until the flare rose into the air, the four people still did not show any aggression, but stopped to remind her after running a distance.
"Why are you still standing there? If we go too late, we will definitely be punished afterwards."
Bai Fu: "..."
Has Cao Wenliang changed his mind?
With full of doubts, Bai Fu followed the four people and rushed towards the player's base.
As she rushed, she found something wrong.
The four people seemed to be rushing very fast, but they were always taking detours. As they kept going around, she rushed to the front.
According to the situation, she must be the first one to rush to the player. It is hard to say whether the four people will catch up as they said.
"I see!"
Bai Fu understood it all at once.
These people did not intend to do it themselves, but wanted to kill her with the help of the players!
This is indeed a good idea. After the inventory, no one would think that this is a conspiracy. They would only think that she was eager to show off, rushed too far forward alone, and lost touch with her teammates, which eventually led to the tragedy.
Unfortunately, these people did not expect that she had a very good relationship with the players.
Even if her relationship with the players was average, with her physique, the players would not be able to kill her for a while, and their plan would still fail in the end.
"You like to play like this, right?"
Bai Fu couldn't help laughing.
She was just worried that she had no chance to notify the players in advance, but she never thought that this opportunity would come immediately.
How can the favorability of "attack the player's base first, and then apologize afterwards" be higher than "risking the undercover identity to remind the player"?
Thank you, Wenliang, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't be able to find such a good opportunity to "sacrifice" for a while!
Thinking of this, Bai Fu speeded up and rushed straight into the player's base.
...
At this time, in the base.
Patrick and others sat in a circle, they were discussing giving Cao Wenliang a surprise.
"This old Deng has been making trouble for Fu Fu. If he continues like this, Fu Fu's true identity may be exposed. We can't let him continue."
"I agree. He was shouting in the live broadcast room a few days ago that he wanted to kill us all."
"I have figured out his address. My suggestion is..."
Just as they were discussing heatedly, a white figure suddenly crossed the window frame and landed in the house.
"Enemy... Hey, it's Fu Wu."
After seeing that the person coming was Bai Fu, the nearby Calamity Dragon opened his mouth and was about to shout.
"Keep your voice down!"
Bai Fu quickly reached out and covered her mouth.
All the players in the room were stunned.
Why did Bai Fu appear here?
"Sister Fu, what's wrong with you?" Patrick asked.
Bai Fu looked around. This time, she completely lost her usual composure and just kept urging: "I don't have time to explain to you. Anyway, you should pack up and leave now."
Ah?
Digging Ji couldn't help asking: "Fu Fu, what's the matter?"
Bai Fu gritted her teeth: "I said there's no time to explain. Just listen to me and leave!"
Patrick stood up and shook his head: "Sister Fu, the more you say this, the less we will leave. I think something big has happened. It's easy for us to leave, but what about you, who tipped us off?"
"Yes, yes, we can't leave."
"Fu Fu, I will never let you get hurt for me!"
The players shouted in unison.
Bai Fu stared at them for a long time before finally sighing: "I'm beginning to understand why you are qualified to be the legendary hero."
