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

Bai Fu was currently aboard a regular cargo ship, which, despite its ordinariness, possessed all the various fundamental functions.

Such as the life support system, gravity simulation system, basic entertainment system...

Especially the basic entertainment system. Players had been captivated by the ways of entertainment of the aliens in the game not long after they boarded the ship.

As Bai Fu's gaze shifted away from the Ancestral Origin Star, which was slowly being suffused with a bright blue light as the ship ascended, she noticed that players were gathering in twos and threes around an entertainment machine in the ship's common rest area.

The machine offered a card battle game similar to "Game King" called "Cosmic Net," where players assumed the role of a certain power, using characters, skills, and items that truly existed in the game world to form their decks for battles against other players.

Even Digging Girl had joined the fray eagerly after figuring out the game's rules, and before long, no players were exploring the ship or paying attention to Bai Fu anymore.

[Hey, you promised more clips of the situation on the ship, why have you started live-streaming a card game?]

[I want to see Fufu!]

[Wow, this game is quite interesting, @Stars Cluster Girl don't be lazy, hurry up and play the online card game]

Bai Fu shrugged her shoulders and said to the ship's AI, "Pull up the entire star map of the Edge World for me."

The AI responded, "I am terribly sorry, but this ship only has the Sea Lion Star System map. To load maps of other regions, you need to spend credit points to purchase, and since you can't connect to the Interstellar Network while on the Ancestral Origin Star, you won't be able to buy even if you have the points."

Bai Fu: "?"

Damn it, so the map is for a fee, huh? Fine, you win.

She had considered traveling to other star systems to avoid possible pursuit, but with the current situation, it looked like she had no choice but to go to the Sea Lion Star System honestly.

Wandering the Star Sea randomly was incredibly dangerous. If she accidentally encountered interstellar pirates or twisted space and dimension fragments, that would be really unfortunate.

Bai Fu made her way to Julia's laboratory.

"Don't disturb me if it's not urgent. I need to plan for the future... uh."

She stopped mid-sentence as she saw Julia fiercely battling against An Ya.

"I activate the Trap Card [Spirit Grid]!"

"Hehe, didn't expect that, did you? I was already prepared!"

Bai Fu: "..."

It seemed Julia wouldn't be looking for her for any experiment anytime soon.

Sigh, all these card sharks!

"Anyway, call me when you need me."

Bai Fu went back to her room through the white doors that automatically opened around her and clicked on "Cosmic Net." She wasn't there to play cards, but rather to see if she could gather any useful intelligence from this battle card set drawing on game storylines.

After browsing for a while, she actually made some gains.

Player power levels were easy to distinguish by just looking at the level and attribute, but it was different for NPCs in the Star Sea; they had their own system of power hierarchy.

The energy level measurement device developed by Titan Industry could measure a Superpower User's energy intensity quite accurately. They broadly classified Superpower Users into eight levels: D, C, B, A, S, Catastrophe, Dominator, Super Supreme.

Among them, Superpower Users from D to S rank still fell within the "mortal" category, while Catastrophe Level Superpower Users could already inflict large-scale destruction to an entire planet, even ripping a planet apart, truly living up to the name of Catastrophe.

The Super Supreme Level was rather special. The first Superpower User who reached the Super Supreme Level thought it was the limit of power, hence the name, but as more Seekers explored the essence of power and the world, civilizations discovered that there were even more frightening powers beyond Super Supreme. For instance, the Angel Envoy that Spiritual Ability Superpower Users felt from the Void Realm was stronger than Super Supreme, so Super Supreme was further divided into different tiers like Super Extreme I, Superlative II, etc.

"This level of Energy Intensity looks a bit like the power levels from Dragon Ball, doesn't it?"

Bai Fu estimated that after completing two Transferring Professions and on the verge of a third, her power rating should be between B and A, and was likely to have already reached A Level, as she had many enhancements to her abilities.

She had tried to plan for her future before leaving the Ancestral Origin Star.

The Star Sea was boundless, full of countless opportunities. It was crucial to choose a development path that suited her from among these opportunities. Would she join another power group, enjoy the protection of a bigger entity until she was strong enough to go solo, or would she strike out on her own with the players right from the start?

Because she was unclear where her power level stood in the vastness of the Star Sea, she hesitated to decide.

Now, judging by the fact that the representative card from the Initial Gate Star System was of Weak Catastrophe Level, her power in the Sea Lion Star System under Initial Gate's jurisdiction may not be top-tier but was definitely no pushover♡.

This eased Bai Fu's mind considerably.

There were mainly two things she was planning to do in the Sea Lion Star System.

The first thing was to actively engage in the various storylines of the Sea Lion Star System.

Her experience on the Ancestral Origin Star had made it very clear that only by actively interfering in the main storyline, increasing her fame and Exploration Degree, could she enjoy various enhancements during each game update.

The second thing was to try to find the exact locations of other Newbie Planets.

At this stage, Bai Fu held the highest popularity among all NPCs, but she was on full alert.

As more and more formidable and distinctive NPCs entered the players' view with the official start of the Star Sea version, her popularity was bound to take a hit, even being surpassed by many newcomers.
