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

"The gift boxes are the white boxes at my feet."

Clang!

An Ya pointed to the pile of gift boxes on the ground.

"I'm not sure exactly what each gift box contains. Mr. Gao Yuan said he stuffed every box with a very special gift. How special? Last night Mr. Gao Yuan specifically sought out Boss Fufu, and upon hearing about it, she thought the event was very interesting. So, she handed over some of the items she no longer uses to Mr. Gao Yuan, including her previously favorite Electric Knife and..."

As soon as the word "Electric Knife" popped up, the veteran players around lost interest in whatever else An Ya was saying.

Damn, damn, damn, damn!

Electric Knife?

Wasn't that the weapon that followed Fufu in many battles and slew several high-level bosses?

Even players not from the Silent Court camp had heard of Bai Fu's Electric Knife. After all, it had appeared more than once in videos edited by Digging Girl and other players, where Bai Fu, wielding the knife in one hand, would sprint and slash with flashing electric arcs—a favorite scene for creative fans to recreate.

"Can one really pull out Fufu's Electric Knife from the gifts?"

"Fair to all!"

An Ya gave a definitive answer.

At first, the veteran players were shocked, never expecting Bai Fu to put the Electric Knife up as a gift, followed by sheer ecstasy.

"Is this Electric Knife really that powerful?"

A newbie asked, puzzled.

The veteran player next to him was star-struck: "Powerful? Of course, it's powerful! It's well-known that Fufu's Electric Knife is an orange-quality advanced equipment, and it doesn't even have a level restriction. Not just us, even you newbies can become experts instantly, killing a Sandworm with a single strike!"

"This isn't even the most impressive part," piped up 'Convert to My Fu' as they stepped forward, "That's a weapon used by Fufu herself! For her personal use, gosh, using it as a weapon is such a waste. It's a supreme electronic collectible! Anyway, the Electric Knife is mine, no one else dare fight me for it!"

...

The newbies were completely bewildered by Convert to My Fu's reaction.

In fact, there were quite a few players around reacting similarly to Convert to My Fu.

"Well, once you draw that Electric Knife, whether you use it, collect it, or sell it to other interested players, you're going to make a big profit. I'm done talking, buying Prayer Cards comes with a gift box, right? Give me ten!"

The veteran players rushed excitedly towards An Ya, scaring the new ones who had just joined the game.

"I didn't expect to encounter such a discount event as soon as I entered the game. I heard the Prayer Cards from Silent Court are quite powerful; we've come at just the right time."

"Buying Prayer Cards gives gift boxes, key is, the gift boxes even contain personal high-level weapons used by the NPC, how generous can an NPC be?"

"Totally, such a big conscience hanging there!"

The newbies were infected by the excitement and felt they had come to the right place.

Working in this generous NPC's camp, who knows what other good days might await them.

Some of the cunning newbies thought, Prayer Cards, buy them early or buy them late, now comes with a gift box, what if you drew something good from the box and sold it for profit?

Charge, charge, charge.

Hmm, wait, they seemed to have no money?

[I am a distinguished player, how can a bit of money trouble me?]

These newbies immediately turned around and started figuring out ways to make money. They had only intended to enter the game for some fun, but within minutes of their arrival, they became one of the most hardworking "leeks" in Bai Fu's secret garden.

A few minutes later, a player who drew a big prize emerged.

"SOLD! SOLD! It's Fufu's personal Artillery Launcher, haha, a miracle on a single draw, I'm making a fortune now! I've wanted one for ages but never wanted to buy it!"

The exclamations spread like cascading dominoes, and some players who got several gifts without scoring good items grew envious.

"Dang, you rigged player, why did I only get an ordinary pistol?"

"Bro, are you selling it? I'll pay more!"

"Not selling, not selling. I'm keeping it. I wouldn't sell it even for double the price."

Amid the noisy commotion, players from big guilds like Iron Rain and Loyalty Hall rushed over. Compared to ordinary players, big guilds like these wanted the Electric Knife even more, believing it would boost their confidence in clearing newly released instances. Even if they didn't draw the Electric Knife, pulling items like the "Power Shoes," "Limited Heavenly Burial Prayer Card," or "Limited Dispel Prayer Card" mentioned by An Ya would still be superb.

The players from big guilds were confident about their draws, as their financial power crushed that of ordinary players; they could open more gift boxes and were more likely to score.

This appearance suddenly put the other players into urgency.

They had been hesitating about whether to spend all their money on Prayer Cards for gift boxes, but now they stopped wavering, fearing the big guilds would sweep up all the good items.

"Give me two more!"

"Damn, I need to borrow some money."

"Man, let's pool our money and buy together. If we draw something good, we can sell it and split the money, how about that?"

Players showed their mettle, thankful that An Ya's Mysterious Store was built to high standards, otherwise it could have been brought down by these now quite formidable players.

"The Catastrophe Rich Lady has arrived!"
