When You Become an NPC That Might Die Any Moment in the Novice Village-Chapter 374 - 146 New version update preview, Evolution into a super popular idol Bai Fu [6k]_2

Several months had passed since version 1.2 launched, and by all logic, version 1.3 should have been on its way.

Every time there was an update announcement, enhancement during the update, and all the various changes post-update, Bai Fu looked forward to them all.

In version 1.2, she had done quite a lot: she trended several times and increased the exploration degree of Ancestral Origin Star to 13.4%. She had either killed all of the known main characters and archenemies on Ancestral Origin Star, or they had become her wings.

An exploration degree of 13.4% might not seem like much, but according to official statements, the main storyline actually didn't account for a high percentage of a planet's exploration degree. On newbie planets, most of the exploration degree came from side tasks, hidden tasks, and some plots that didn't involve tasks but made the planet feel more alive.

By owning 13.4% of the story exploration degree by herself, Bai Fu could truly be said to be the main character of main characters.

"I wonder how much I'll be strengthened this time."

If the enhancement was significant, she could skip the phase of "first put on socks, then shoes, first be a grandson, then a grandpa" and get right to "barefoot, we can play more tricks."

Star Sea and newbie planets like Ancestral Origin Star didn't quite share the same map. On newbie planets, players could try as hard as they liked, but without the right version, it was very difficult to find a way to leave and explore the wider Star Sea.

But the Star Sea was different. As long as players earned enough money, even if they were only level 1, they could use various means of transportation to head to higher-level areas like Rebirth Empire and Supernova Battle Group ahead of time. The main attraction was the freedom it offered.

This freedom meant that even if Bai Fu was only active in a Star System Level Civilization, there was still a chance to encounter masters from Cosmic Level Civilizations.

To make things more comfortable in the Star Sea, it was necessary to improve her power as much as possible before venturing forth.

"At last, I've found you, Fu Queen. I didn't expect to see you here, staring at the stars."

As Bai Fu pondered her future, Igor pushed open the door to the television station's rooftop and bustled over, full of enthusiasm.

Bai Fu turned around, "Don't call me Fu Queen, it feels so distant."

Igor didn't pick up on her hint and cheerfully said, "The live broadcast was extremely successful. Within just one hour after the show ended, all the television and radio stations in the wastelands have contacted us, wanting to buy the rights to the documentary. Besides that, I've received numerous contacts from viewers and companies. Many of them are interested in the clothes you wore, especially that black staff and the metallic black tiara on your head. It seems we can make a fortune just by selling merchandise."

After several publicity stints, Bai Fu was not only the nominal Queen of Ancestral Origin Star but also the number one superstar in terms of popularity.

It helps to be beautiful.

Bai Fu nodded, "Leave that to Gao Yuan to handle. I don't have any special requests. A portion of the money earned should be exchanged for things I need, and the rest can go towards the construction of Bai Fu Town and the advance exploration camps during the rebuilding of Ancestral Origin Star."

After entering the universe, the currency of Ancestral Origin Star was just a pile of waste paper, possibly even less valuable than bottle caps. Hence, she was spending money without any intention to save, hoping to convert all of it into power and infrastructure capable of welcoming more new players to Ancestral Origin Star before entering the Star Sea.

Igor replied, "Understood."

He immediately took his leave, leaving Bai Fu alone to feel the breeze on the rooftop.

Looking up at the scattered stars in the clear night sky, Bai Fu felt her heart surge with ambition.

It sure had not been easy.

A year ago, when she had first awakened in her rundown shack at the Abandoned Cooling Factory, could she have ever imagined that one day she would become Ancestor Farmer of Ancestral Origin Star?

That's right, Ancestor Farmer!

On Ancestral Origin Star, who could claim to have reaped more players' profits than her, and who else knew better how to harvest the players' resources?

"Once players establish themselves on Ancestral Origin Star, once my personal mark is imprinted all over the place, I'll be about ready to leave here."

A journey spanning light-years, more breathtaking universes than the Pillar of Creation, technology that crosses dimensions, Seekers who delve into the source of power...

The vast Sea of Stars is the true course she was destined to chart!

...

The day after the television broadcast ended, Ancestral Origin Star bustled with activity.

The Railroad Guild and other powers formed pioneer groups, in collaboration with Silent Court, to release new tasks, calling players to join the great plan of rebuilding Ancestral Origin Star.

Many players, at a loss for interesting tasks after dealing with the Genetic Primordial, jumped at the opportunity to sign up when they saw recruiting pioneers.

The tasks for rebuilding Ancestral Origin Star were diverse and not limited to mere bricklaying. They included, but were not limited to, cooperating with researchers to study new anti-pollution drugs, clearing pollution sources, eradicating mutated life, dealing with ill-reputed Wanderers, building camps, transporting materials, and exploring pre-war relics.

These tasks largely met the needs of most players and were abundant. Bai Fu no longer had to worry about Silent Court's growing number of players and the insufficient allotment of Camp Tasks.

Anyway, with forces like the Railroad Guild issuing tasks on her behalf, all she needed to do was make occasional appearances to help players with high-level bosses they couldn't beat and to maintain her presence. Other tasks such as commanding players were left to An Ya and Old Nison.

"Feeling better?"

In Bai Fu Town's newly constructed hospital, Bai Fu set a fruit basket on the bedside cabinet.
