Chapter 256: Follow the Leader's Path and Leave Him with Nowhere to Go [5k]

Julian doesn't usually do anything.

But once he does something, he still has the vigorous and resolute demeanor of the past.

After realizing that the information provided by Bai Fu might help him achieve a leap forward, he immediately showed his most professional attitude -

enthusiastic attitude, accurate words, professional knowledge, and an unyielding attitude in safeguarding the interests of the empire.

"If the information you provide is true, then you will gain the friendship of the empire. The empire will never treat its friends unfairly, but..."

As we all know, the words after "but" are very important.

In terms of rewards, Julian spoke a lot of clichés.

Unfortunately, this time he met Bai Fu, who was not very good at negotiation but had the assistance of the game panel.

For Bai Fu, what Julian said was not important. What was important was what the task rewards mentioned in the task that was triggered later were, and how much reputation and contribution she could gain from the empire camp through this cooperation.

These are the most reliable!

Facing Bai Fu, who didn't buy into his tricks at all, Julian felt his scalp tingling.

This is a master!

"I will report your request to [Glorious]."

Glorious is the central core artificial intelligence of the Reborn Empire, responsible for assisting almost all imperial officials from the emperor to the local governors in handling government affairs.

Julian was a little depressed.

Never mind, even if he failed to show his negotiation ability in this conversation, as long as the information provided by Bai Fu is true, as the host, he will also be credited with great merit afterwards.

After all, that is the Ten Saints Association. Others don't know the origins of the saints of the Ten Saints Association, but how can he, who has been in the intelligence department for more than ten years, not know it?

Before being wanted by the three cosmic civilizations, the saint was originally a close partner of the empire, but later for some unknown reason he suddenly betrayed the empire. He attacked [Glorious], causing the empire to suffer heavy losses. If there is a chance to catch him, all those who provide information and contribute will be rewarded.

"I will notify you immediately when there is news."

Bai Fu didn't wait too long.

The efficiency of the Reborn Empire was very high. After only one day, Julian's immediate superior, the director of the Security Bureau, came to talk to her in person with the resolution of the Senate.

The Empire seemed to be really concerned about the Ten Saints, and they were not worried that Bai Fu was trying to deceive them, because they had already asked the Star Covenant and received guarantees from the Star Covenant.

Therefore, the director of the Security Bureau did not say any more clichés, but directly talked to Bai Fu about the content of the transaction.

Bai Fu naturally liked this simple and straightforward attitude.

"The Essence of Psychic Resonance" and "The Application of Psychic Projection", the former can greatly improve the efficiency of psychic resonance and the efficiency of psychic extraction and application, and the latter is the basic knowledge of psychic hyperspace application. For you who are good at legionary combat, it should be a great help. What do you think of these two master-level advanced knowledge?"

Bai Fu nodded without any objection.

The director of the Security Bureau smiled and said, "There is also this enhanced genome of the [King of the Earth]. The [Holy Light Clan] psychic talent implant genome you applied for was rejected at the Senate meeting. The Holy Light Clan and the Void Realm Research Institute both disagree to give it to you. After all, you are not a member of our Reborn Empire or a high-quality partner. If you have no objection to this ruling, then let's sign a cooperation agreement."

Oh.

Bai Fu spread her hands helplessly.

She knew this would be the result, but she still wanted to try.

The psychic affinity of the Holy Light Clan is the highest among the known cosmic races. If she can get the Holy Light Clan psychic talent implant genome, she will definitely get a lot of inspiration attribute corrections during gene optimization, as well as several psychic talents or passive skills.

But if she can't get it, then she can't get it. The enhanced genome of the King of the Earth is not bad.

The King of the Earth is a starry sky beast that is so meaty that it makes people want to vomit. Fusion of its enhanced genome can greatly improve one's tankiness.

[Maybe my physique will be higher than Cecia's by then, so even if I don't rely on skills, but purely on physique, I can easily beat Cecia. ]

"I have no objection."

Bai Fu signed the confidentiality agreement sent by the director of the Security Bureau, and then she sent the location of the Ten Saints to the director of the Security Bureau as required.

Everything was arranged properly, and what she needed to do next was simple--

Eat melons!

Bai Fu fought on the front line of eating melons.

She wanted to see how the Ten Saints dealt with the head of state, and how the Reborn Empire dealt with the Ten Saints.

For this reason, she directly rejected several new commissions with the excuse of "being attacked, and then the commission failed, and I need to calm down."

...

Time goes back one day.

When Bai Fu and Julian were talking, the head of state suddenly received a bad news.

When the subordinate troops of the Bovalia Planetary Defense Council were cleaning up the factory destroyed by the war, they found several mechanical equipment with special signs buried underground. Those mechanical equipment had been hit so hard that it was difficult to restore their original appearance, but the signs were still relatively intact.

"If I'm not mistaken, this seems to be the sign of the Ten Saints?"

The members of the Council looked at each other.

The Ten Saints was a very famous existence among the interstellar wanted criminals, so they quickly confirmed that they were not mistaken.

The next second——

"Fuck, awesome!"

The members of the Council exclaimed one by one.

It turns out that the President came to Povaria from afar to fight against the Ten Saints!

Who said that the President was incompetent? Look, look, didn't he dig out the hiding place of the Ten Saints with this move, and even wiped out all the people in this stronghold?

You know, this is something that none of the three cosmic civilizations have ever done.

He did what the three cosmic civilizations couldn't do with one move. Great, the President is great!

He dared to kill all the people of the Ten Saints with one move, and completely tore his face with the Ten Saints. Tough, the President is tough!

After being amazed, the members of the Council felt a little scared.

Oh my god, such a vicious organization as the Ten Saints actually hid in Povaria. Fortunately, the President decisively attacked and killed these thugs, otherwise they would be dead once these thugs launched an attack.

Thinking of this, the members of the Council were grateful to the President one by one.

At this moment, one of them suddenly said: "Do you think it is possible that the Führer will actually have the last laugh in this civil war? You see, the Führer is not as incompetent as the outside world says, and once what happened here spreads, the public's impression of the Führer will definitely change greatly."

The person next to him shook his head: "Who can say for sure about this kind of thing? Don't look at Lister being beaten back step by step, but you never know when he will suddenly turn defeat into victory and eliminate Nelis."

"That's true, but whether the Führer can have the last laugh or not, it's always good for us to help him publicize what happened here. If the Führer has the last laugh, we are meritorious officials. If the Führer loses, what's wrong with us promoting the fight against the Ten Saints?"

"Will it annoy the Ten Saints?"

"You don't think it's not annoying now?"

It really is.

Everyone discussed it, sorted out various materials, and asked AI to write an article praising the Führer and sent it out directly.

Ten Saints + Head of State, when these two keywords were put together, they immediately set off the entire marginal world's public opinion circle.

"What, Ten Saints?"

"Is he crazy? He dared to provoke the Ten Saints at this time."

"Head of State, is this your real plan?"

Not long after, the Head of State also received the news from the officials of the Taimu civilization who came to praise his bravery.

In the Head of State's official residence, listening to the words of praise, the Head of State was numb.

For a moment, his mind was blank, he forgot who he was, where he was, and what he was going to do.

When he suddenly emerged from the blank space like a drowning man, the first thought that popped into his mind was-

Wan La!

The plan to get rid of Bai Fu to increase his reputation failed, which was a big blow to him, but he could bear it and it would pass. After all, Bai Fu didn't know that it was a trap set by him, and he could continue to set it up next.

But now this matter...

This is no longer an ordinary blow, this is almost killing him with a hammer!

The head of state was very confident, but no matter how confident he was, he dared not challenge the Ten Saints.

The Ten Saints had two super-masters. Although these two super-masters were just ordinary super-masters, they were definitely not something that he, the master, could provoke.

"If something like this happened, those crazy people would definitely not let me go. If they were staring at me, how could I fight for the throne of the Taimu civilization!"

The head of state was going crazy.

What a sin!

If he could do it again, he would definitely not bother Bai Fu again in a short time.

It was a pity that it was useless to regret it now.

Facing the officials who came to congratulate him, the head of state could only force a smile.

There was no way to explain. If he said that this was just an accident and he didn't actually want to deal with the Ten Saints, then his newly-risen reputation would immediately fall back, and the effect of his next attack on the Glorious Army would be greatly reduced due to the impact of this time.

Hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry!

The head of state was about to explode.

After sending everyone away with great difficulty, he immediately found the commander-in-chief of the Glorious Army.

"You know what I want to say."

The commander-in-chief of the Glorious Army was sweating: "I have cleaned up the internal affairs. If there is a next time, you don't need to ask me, I will come to see you with my head!"

To be honest, the head of state wanted to kill the commander-in-chief of the Glorious Army, this unreliable guy.

But he couldn't do it. Once he did it, the morale of the Glorious Army would be scattered.

"Are we going to ask for help from the Reborn Empire?"

The head of state didn't want to go.

The Reborn Empire was willing to support him at the beginning because he saw that his plan was very bold and the benefits would be very high once it succeeded.

At this time, he suddenly went to the Reborn Empire for help, and his image in the eyes of the Reborn Empire would plummet.

You provoked the Ten Saints Society yourself, and now you want us to send people to protect you?

"Be patient, wait until the situation is really wrong."

The head of state waited and waited for the revenge of the Ten Saints Society.

The saint was the one who dared to attack [Glorious]. With a hot temper, he could not help but want to send the president to the west after seeing the president appear frequently in the news and being praised by countless people.

"Since our existence has been exposed, let's use the death of the president to tell the three major cosmic civilizations that we are back!"

A group of strong men rushed out and began to attack all the president's confidants.

...

"Fuck, this is awesome, one shot directly killed a natural disaster level!"

"6, this spaceship is better than my Silent Night, right?"

"Kill, kill, kill, I want to see a river of blood!"

In the bedroom, Bai Fu was lying on a recliner, with a drink in her left hand and fried chicken in her right hand. Behind her was Hei Fu massaging her shoulders, and in front of her was Ying Fu massaging her feet. She was extremely comfortable.

If this scene was seen by outsiders, it would definitely cause an uproar.

Ah, is this what the saint is like in private?

In response, Bai Fu's answer was that becoming stronger is just to live a good life, and then continue to play music and dance!

She was in a very good mood these days. Although the progress of each task did not increase, and the experience pool did not increase much, under her calculation, the big villain in the hidden main line and the big villain in the main line of Taimu civilization fought.

Especially the head of state, the loss was so heavy.

In just a few days, half of the special forces he formed were eliminated, and three of the four natural disaster-level special forces were killed.

As for the bases of the special forces, except for the ones near the planet Taimu, they were all blown to ashes.

The reason why it was so tragic was that the Ten Saints were efficient, and everyone except Nilis was watching the show.

At this time, you open a new dungeon and challenge the Ten Saints?

Oh, awesome, let's see how awesome you are!

As a result, the head of state was beaten.

Damn!

After losing these apparently natural disaster-level subordinates, the trouble he wants to do in the future will increase dramatically.

Fortunately, the head of state's bad days did not last too long, and it came to a temporary end in just a few days.

"The mission contribution has increased. It seems that the Rebirth Empire has already fought with the Ten Saints."

Bai Fu was so excited that she raised her hands high and stretched her toes.

The facts were just as she guessed.

After making careful preparations, the Rebirth Empire launched an attack on the foothold of the Ten Saints in the edge world. This time they dispatched two super-absolutes, three overlords, and several top battleships of the empire in one go.

The reason why more people were not sent out was mainly because they were afraid of attracting the attention of the Supernova Corps and Titan Industries.

The reason why the Ten Saints were wanted by the three cosmic civilizations was not only because the saints and others had done so many bad things, but also because the saints and others had a big secret.

This round of attacks came very suddenly, and the Ten Saints were directly stunned.

When the news spread, other people who received the news, such as Yuan Yi, and the people from the Supernova Corps and Titan Industries were also stunned.

Yuan Yi: "I'm still investigating the relationship between Rufus and the Ten Saints, and I'm still thinking about how much impact the return of the Ten Saints will have on the marginal world. As a result, you, the Reborn Empire, have already hit the dragon?"

After thinking about it, everyone felt that something was wrong.

No, buddy, wasn't the news of the return of the Ten Saints just exposed by the head of the Taimu civilization a few days ago? How come you have already hit the base of the Ten Saints now? Isn't this too fast?

Could it be that...

The head is actually someone from the Reborn Empire?

He went to attack a small base of the Ten Saints to attract the attention of the Ten Saints, and then the Rebirth Empire took the opportunity to rush straight to the large base of the Ten Saints?

The more people thought about it, the more they felt that this was very likely.

This matter must be investigated clearly. If the head of state really secretly defected to the Rebirth Empire, then they must include the head of state in the target of attack, and must not let the head of state fish in troubled waters.

Bai Fu just wanted to pit the head of state and the Ten Saints, but she didn't expect that this operation would make all forces suspect the head of state.

The head of state is very powerful. After all, he is a real master, but other major factions in the civil war of the Taimu civilization also have masters standing on the platform. After losing the concealment of his identity, his advantage is gone by more than half.

So far, the main plot of the Taimu civilization has completely deviated from the original trajectory.

...

Ding ding ding——

A few hours later, the Virtual Heart sent the collected information to Bai Fu.

This is the latest information about the Rebirth Empire's encirclement and suppression of the Ten Saints.

Under the attack of the Reborn Empire, the Ten Saints suffered heavy losses, and even a master was killed, but the saint still escaped from the encirclement with his loach-like figure.

"It seems that this main task is still available."

Bai Fu submitted the task [Saint's Wail] by chance.

Because she did not personally participate in the battle, the final reward was only 390 million experience points, nothing else, but it is better than nothing.

[The next round of tasks will be triggered after finding a new foothold for the Ten Saints or raising the favorability of the Reborn Empire to more than 400]

"400 favorability, it's a bit difficult."

After telling the Reborn Empire about the information of the Ten Saints, Bai Fu unlocked the favorability and reputation of the Reborn Empire camp.

The current favorability is 180 and the reputation is 30, both of which can only be described as mediocre.

Take your time. Bai Fu is not in a hurry now. After all, there is still more than a month before the end of version 2.0. When players really get involved in the battle between the three cosmic civilizations, it will be version 3.0.

Time passed slowly, and finally, Bai Fu's communicator rang.

She clicked on the virtual screen of the communicator and found that the Reborn Empire had sent the two Domination-level advanced knowledge she wanted.

"The enhanced genome of the King of the Earth is also on the way. It will be delivered to Lockheed in two days. Please pay attention to receive it."

Bai Fu smiled and nodded. Looking at Julian who was a little depressed, she said: "You look a little bad."

Julian sighed: "Don't mention it. The saint escaped again this time. The most important thing is... Stop, stop, I can't tell you about this. Anyway, the information you provided is still very useful."

Since Julian didn't want to say more, Bai Fu didn't insist.

Her focus now is not this, but to digest the things exchanged from the Reborn Empire as soon as possible.

After learning two new advanced knowledge and integrating the enhanced genes of the King of the Earth, she is only two steps away from the master.

The first step is to stack the basic inspiration to 5000!

The second step is to defeat an opponent with a single attribute of no less than 4000!

Bai Fu has already thought about who to deal with.

"It's decided to be you, the Glorious Army!"

Bai Fu plans to sacrifice the Glorious Army before the head of state.

Take the head of state's path and leave the head of state with no way to go!

This will definitely annoy the head of state, but by then she will be promoted to the master, so what is she afraid of the head of state!
