Chapter 37 Monuments for Heroes [2-in-1 Request for Further Reading]
The journey back to the abandoned cooling plant was easier than Baifu imagined.
Spirit 14 and Inspiration 16, these two attributes have greatly improved her five senses, and she can detect the movements of amoeba from a long distance.
Relying on this ability, she deliberately avoided the larger amoeba swarms, and she only experienced four battles until she saw the fence at the edge of the abandoned cooling plant.
These four battles were almost like warm-ups for her now. She didn't use [Power Surge (Bad)] to temporarily increase her strength, and easily turned those amoebas into experience.
Counting the amoebas she killed just now while driving, Bai Fu earned another 13,038 experience points during this trip, successfully bringing her experience point reserves to 14,007. Once the mission [Insect Tide Invasion] is completed, she will almost have enough. Sufficient experience required for professional advancement.
The only problem is that she hasn't found the career advancement knowledge book yet.
"There might be some good stuff in the library in the Wildfire Gang that only the boss of the Wildfire Gang can enter. Even if it's not in this library, there should be some in the Lynn settlement."
Bai Fu was in a pretty good mood.
After wandering around the live broadcast room opened by players in the abandoned cooling plant, she felt better.
First, by standing up in the abandoned cooling plant, the player's emotions were stirred up, making the player think that she was dead. Then, with her performance on the road, the player gave a glimmer of hope in despair, thinking that she might still have a chance to survive. , and finally sacrificed himself decisively when he was about to succeed, opening the way to tomorrow for the players.
After these three waves, the player's emotions were suppressed to the extreme by her, and he was in urgent need of an outlet to explode.
Sad, painful, unforgettable...
Players in every live broadcast room she watched were venting these three emotions, and the most excited one among them was none other than Dig Ji.
In the process of emotional ups and downs, Ji Ji very vividly used Yanyi to perform the mentality change process of the players who supported Bai Fu in front of all the viewers in the live broadcast room.
From sitting on the ground and acting like a fool, to regaining his composure, to fainting on the spot, and then to getting up again after hearing that there is still a chance that Bai Fu is alive, the effect of the show is comparable to the classic "bold words in the beginning, nonsense in the middle, and silence in the later period" , was nicknamed the master of sit-ups by music fans, and was even made into an emoticon, which seems to be becoming a meme.
Bai Fu looked at it and laughed.
It is easier to spread when it becomes a meme, just like "Krillin sacrifices to the sky, his power is boundless" in Dragon Ball. Although it is a bit hellish, as long as this is mentioned, everyone will involuntarily think of the classic scenes that match the meme.
This will be very beneficial for her to consolidate her popularity and expand her popularity among the player community.
"The atmosphere has already been built up here. Let's wait for the emotions to ferment for a while."
Her plan is to wait a long time before appearing in front of the players.
If you show up too early, your emotions will not be stored up enough, and it will not be powerful enough to explode. Of course, it is not good to show up too late. Who knows what accidents will happen then.
Ten minutes later, Bai Fu arrived at the Wildfire Gang successfully.
Since it had only been three hours since she discovered the strengthening potion, her first stop was not the laboratory, but the library that only the boss of the Wildfire Gang could enter freely.
There was no one around, so she shot the lock on the door and pushed in.
The library was not big. It only took her ten minutes to search the library.
What makes Bai Fu regretful is that there is no professional advanced knowledge of the psychic school in the library, but she is not completely without gain. She found three advanced knowledge books of other professions on the bookshelf——
"Gunner Training Manual 2.0", "Advanced Research on Muscles and Force Development", "Introduction to Qi"
She won't be able to use these three advanced knowledge books for the time being, but they can be used as rewards for players to increase their favorability.
After leaving the library, Bai Fu set her sights on the Wildfire Gang's treasury and logistics warehouse.
It took her a full hour and a half to dig out all the things that were useful to her in the vault and logistics warehouse.
I have to say that she was really excited to get gold coins this time. She got more than 170,000 in credit coins alone. Counting what she had saved before, her savings now exceed 200,000. She can definitely be called a little girl. A rich woman.
In addition to credit coins, she also got more than twenty guns, a grenade launcher, a bag of marching rations that can quickly restore physical strength, three new sets of protective inner armor, a dozen military binoculars, and some odds and ends. , such as bullets.
If it wasn't so conspicuous, she would have wanted to drive away the Wildfire Gang boss's exclusive car.
Bai Fu packed all these things into boxes before entering the laboratory.
At this time, the progress bar behind the strengthening potion was full. She carefully opened the cultivation cabin. There were two bottles of potion in the cultivation cabin, and she only took out one.
The reason why she didn't take them all was because for her, one bottle was enough, and on the other hand, she was keenly aware that the strengthening potion made by Yulia was likely to be related to the main plot of the Ancestral Star. Task related.
She felt that it was necessary to ask the people of the Primarch to take the medicine back and analyze it to see what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd of the Truth Society.
After closing the cultivation cabin again, Bai Fu dragged her trophies and ran home quickly.
Through the player's live broadcast room, she discovered that most of the amoebas that invaded the abandoned cooling plant have been killed. It is estimated that the insect tide will be completely suppressed in a while, and someone will definitely come to the Wildfire Gang by then, and she does not want to run into those people. superior.
Just as she thought, she received a game prompt as soon as she dragged the box back to the empty space filled with construction debris at her door.
[You completed the mission [Insect Swarm Invasion], with a contribution of 23.6%, and received a reward of 40,000 experience points, 3 attribute points, and psionic knowledge chain (4)]
"Um?"
Since the [Insect Tide Invasion] mission is not a camp mission, even if Bai Fu's contribution is as high as 23.6%, she still does not receive additional title rewards like the last time she attacked the player's stronghold, but the rewards given by the mission itself are enough. Much to her surprise.
She originally thought it would be good if she could get 10,000 experience points after completing the task. Unexpectedly, the task directly gave her 40,000 experience points. Is this the charm of difficult tasks?
With this experience, she can upgrade her advanced profession to Lv2 in one go.
Needless to say, the reward of 3 attribute points is so delicious. Bai Fu decisively added all 3 attribute points to his physique, raising his physique to 29 points.
But among these three rewards, the most valuable is actually [Psychic Knowledge Chain (4)].
The career system of Above the Stars is not the same as the career system of ordinary online games, but it is more similar to the technology tree system of some farming games——
To unlock advanced professions, you must first learn prerequisite knowledge!
When players learn entry-level professions and advanced professions, they only need to have the corresponding professional knowledge books and experience. But to upgrade from advanced professions to advanced professions, it is not enough to have professional knowledge books and experience. They must first Master at least 5 knowledge chains.
This is what is called knowledge is power!
Of course, these knowledge chains are not learned for free. Every time you master one more knowledge chain, you can get the corresponding bonus.
Bai Fu reached out and clicked on the [Psychic Knowledge Chain (4)] she had just obtained, and the buff effect popped up immediately.
[All psionic active skill effects +20%, psionic resistance +20%]
[Remarks: Unlock a new knowledge chain, all psionic active skill effects +20%, psionic resistance +20%, psionic recovery speed +2/minute]
Including the 10% bonus provided by low-level psychic mastery, from now on, the effect of Bai Fu's skills will be increased by 30%, and the gap between her and ordinary psychic apprentices will suddenly widen.
"Finally, he looks a bit like an elite monster."
Bai Fu stared excitedly at the bottle of strengthening potion in her pocket. If she could successfully digest this bottle and throw her to the novice village, the pressure she would bring would probably be greater than Yulia's fake body. .
But, how can we digest the strengthening potion?
Looking at the phrase "10% chance of alienating the target" in the potion description, Bai Fu got a headache.
Just wait, she doesn't dare to gamble now.
"Anya."
Bai Fu called out Anya who was hiding in the basement.
After staying in the basement for almost half a day, Anya was already sweating profusely. When she saw Bai Fu returning safe and sound, she rushed towards him.
"Boss, I can't help but want to come find you."
Bai Fu smiled and pulled her to the big box: "Open it and take a look." Anya opened the box with a suspicious look on her face. She had a premonition that the box might contain good things, but when she saw with her own eyes that the pile was bigger than her. After receiving a high amount of credit coins, she was still so shocked that she lost her voice.
"Boss, this..."
Anya looked left and right, feeling at a loss.
Bai Fu said: "It's all real money. Okay, let's move this money to the basement."
Anya quickly complied, and she giggled as she moved, now it's better, now she doesn't have to go hungry anymore!
Bai Fu looked at Anya's excited back with a smile.
After working for so long, she finally got rid of the embarrassing situation she faced when she first crossed over. In fact, she was far from safe because she had just provoked the Truth Society. But now, she is different from the past. Now she has a certain ability to protect herself. , and the place where she is is the territory of the Primarch. No matter how arrogant the Truth Society is, they will not dare to mess around in a big way.
After moving the other things in the box into the basement, Bai Fu drank two large glasses of cold water and then wandered around the community.
She just wanted to see the players' reactions, but as soon as she opened the community, the first thing she saw was the official announcement that was pinned to the top.
[Update Announcement of "Above the Stars"]
[Dear interstellar adventurers:
"Beyond the Stars" has been loved by the majority of players after its official open beta. In order to ensure the stable operation and service quality of the server, the game will be shut down for maintenance in 1 hour. Maintenance is expected 4 hours, we apologize for the inconvenience caused to all adventurers.
[Update Announcement]
1. Expand the server to allow more players to join the adventure
2. Enable the [Guild] function, and adventurers are welcome to create their own guild
3.…
…
After the maintenance is completed, "Above the Stars" will bring you a new promotional video, so stay tuned. 】
There are many announcements, most of which have nothing to do with game content, but are mainly about some experience upgrades for game peripherals.
Bai Fu is only concerned about the downtime and maintenance itself.
The game will be down for maintenance for 4 hours. Considering that the time flow rate in the game is different from the time flow rate outside the game, the actual offline time for players will be far longer than 4 hours. As for the specific length, it depends on how the official arrangements are made. .
"If it takes two or three days for the players to come back online, how can I stage a drama about the return of the dead in front of them and explode their extremely suppressed emotions?"
Bai Fu was numb.
Players who were looking for her were also stunned after seeing the update announcement.
[Shit, I want to know if Bai Fu is dead right now, but why are you updating this episode for me? 】
[Asshole, don’t come out and be a dog at this time. Even if you want to update, at least tell me Fufu’s ending first]
[Does the official want to be scolded? 】
[Is it possible, I mean is it possible, that the official reason for the sudden shutdown for maintenance is not to expand the server capacity, but to take this opportunity to fix the "BUG" that Bai Fu died? 】
[It seems that this is really possible]
No matter how anxious the players were, how much they scolded them, and how reluctant they were to leave, when the announced time came, they were still forced offline.
"They died, they all died, for Bai Fu, for the abandoned cooling plant, they..."
At dawn, beside the ruins piled with amoeba corpses, Xia Shi sighed with a heavy face.
Even if Bai Fu succeeded in using inducement bait to divert the insect tide away, a war would inevitably break out in order to eliminate the amoeba that had reached the abandoned cooling plant.
Although all the amoebas were wiped out, those outsiders also fell down one after another. At the end of the fight, only four or five out of a hundred outsiders were still standing.
What a brutal battle this is!
Xia Shi, who was used to seeing blood and fire, almost vomited after seeing such a tragic situation.
She wanted to go forward and comfort the surviving outsiders, but she really couldn't think of what she could say. In the end, she could only watch the surviving outsiders staggering away until they completely disappeared from her sight. .
"Be more open-minded and don't make yourself depressed." Yago enlightened.
Xia Shi nodded: "I understand, just wait for a few days...wait, Yago, look over there!"
there?
Yago looked at the sound.
He saw a lone figure walking alone in the early morning mist.
One step, two steps, three steps... Finally, the figure came close through the mist.
This time, Yago saw clearly.
"Baifu!"
Bai Fu is back alive!
Ya Ge’s eyes widened, and for a moment, countless joys surged through his heart. In this cool morning, he finally encountered a good thing.
If those outsiders who died in the battle knew that Bai Fu was still alive, it would be a lot easier in the underworld, right?
……
After reuniting with Ya Ge and Xia Shi, Bai Fu shared her new story with them.
The story is simple. She was attacked by a large number of amoebas after getting out of the car. In order to better contain these amoebas, she ran far away with them. She originally thought she was dead, but she didn't expect these amoebas to chase her and then turned around and left. At that moment, she realized that the battle was successful. She wanted to go back to find Patrick, but she got lost in the dark night. She went round and round. After wandering around all night, we finally returned to the abandoned cooling plant without any danger.
"So the current situation is that I survived, but they died?" Bai Fu's face was blank.
Ya Ge and Xia Shi consoled, "Yes."
"well."
Bai Fu sighed. She sat quietly next to the ruins, as if she was waiting for someone. She sat there for a long time until the afternoon, then stood up as if resigned to her fate, walked to a player's body that had not disappeared, and used The shoes kicked lightly.
"Didn't you say that you won't die? So what does that mean now? Come back to life and show me the resurrection!"
Xia Shi suspected that Bai Fu was hit so hard that she had a brain problem: "Bai Fu, people cannot be resurrected after death, you..."
Bai Fu opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end she held back everything she wanted to say.
“They saved the abandoned cooling plant and I wanted to build a memorial to them.”
Ya Ge and Xia Shi were moved: "Let me help you."
"Thanks."
Looking at the two energetic people, Bai Fu couldn't help but snicker.
Building a monument for players was her idea to deal with players suddenly going offline!
Anyway, as long as the player knows that she is still alive, the previously suppressed emotions will definitely explode. In this case, why should she bother to show up in front of the player?
In fact, Bai Fu is quite grateful to the official for this wave of operations, because the emotions of the entire players have been suppressed again. Not only that, this official wave of operations also changed the issue of "whether Bai Fu is alive or dead?" The incident became so popular that many people who originally didn't care about her life and death were also attracted and began to play prize-free guessing games in the community.
When the game is re-opened, when players come online and see the monument, what will they think?
Bai Fu is looking forward to it very much.
Hurry up and serve it, she can't wait!
