Who Made Her an NPC?! Chapter 47 : New Knowledge Chain Unlocked!

Chapter 47: New Knowledge Chain Unlocked!

The actions of Convert to My Fu and the others in Lynn's area quickly caused a sensation on the forums.

Players born near Lynn were so envious they were stomping their feet in regret, blaming themselves for not catching the car headed to Lynn.

As a result, Convert to My Fu and his group got there first and cut off this money-making path.

If anyone else dared to pull the sa stunt in Lynn again, let alone borrowing money, they'd be lucky not to have their legs broken on the spot.

Players in other regions, upon seeing what Convert to My Fu and his group had done, bead with delight.

That path might be blocked in Lynn, but it was still wide open elsewhere.

The smartest batch of players sprang into action the mont they received the news.

Almost simultaneously, different black-evil forces across various starter planets in different galaxies were taught a brutal lesson by players—

Lending is risky. Be cautious when dealing with Players!

If you try to get rough with Players, they'll show you what it truly ans to be a Hardcore Savage. Being ruthless to others is nothing—being ruthless to oneself is real ruthlessness.

Those who pulled off a big job rushed to share their achievents on the forum. Among them, the most impressive record ca from a Player born on [Kro Star]: 【Snowing in Sumr】.

After borrowing so money, Snowing in Sumr went and made a few bombs. Then he carried those bombs and stord into the headquarters of the black-evil force that had lent him the money.

Surrounded by grunts, he detonated the bombs. Coincidentally, the explosion occurred right next to their ammo depot, triggering a sympathetic explosion that blasted the entire organization into oblivion.

Legendary!

After this bold move, Snowing in Sumr’s level skyrocketed, claiming the top spot across the server.

He was then promoted exceptionally as a city hero in the anti-cri campaign and directly recruited into the national Faction System, pulling far ahead of other Players.

【？】

【How much dog poop did you step on to get this lucky?】

【Quick, confess—are you the Developer’s biological child?】

【Luck Goddess!】

Seeing Snowing in Sumr’s record, the forum exploded.

Even Convert to My Fu and the others, who pioneered this tactic, were stunned.

Suddenly, the twenty thousand Credit Coins in their hands didn’t feel all that valuable anymore.

“Don’t panic. Being fast for a mont doesn’t an being fast forever. Besides, he’s not even directly competing with us. As long as we unlock our Advanced Class quickly and trigger Bai Fu’s new quest, we’ll be fine. I believe that the reward we’ll get from Bai Fu’s quest will definitely surpass his.”

Guild Master of the Iron Rain Guild, Sword Qi Soaring, said with a cheerful smile.

Convert to My Fu and the others nodded repeatedly.

They all had a good impression of Sword Qi Soaring.

At first, when they took the ride with Sword Qi Soaring, they thought that, as a guild master of a major guild, he would be difficult to get along with. But after spending ti together, they found that not only was he very pleasant to talk to, but he was also eager to teach them various in-ga tricks and details.

No wonder the Iron Rain Guild had remained strong across multiple gas.

They couldn’t have imagined that all of this was just an act by Sword Qi Soaring.

The night before the trip, Sword Qi Soaring had held a eting with the core mbers of the Iron Rain Guild and gave them important instructions.

While looking for an opportunity to join the Truth Society, they should also increase Bai Fu’s Favorability just like the other Players.

The purpose of doing so wasn’t for Bai Fu’s Hidden Quest, but to gather more intel on Bai Fu, which would then be presented as a generous gift to join the Truth Society.

He had no intention of starting from the bottom once he joined the Truth Society—he wanted to go big from the start!

Given that they didn’t know Bai Fu at all at the mont, and Excavation‑Princess and others had already raised Bai Fu’s Favorability above 80, Sword Qi Soaring issued a second directive.

When approaching Bai Fu, they had to be willing to invest—be it money, supplies, or even throwing themselves into danger.

As long as they could quickly raise Bai Fu’s Favorability, it was okay even if it slowed down their leveling speed.

“Although we might suffer a bit early on, as long as we bring intel on Bai Fu to the Truth Society, everything will turn out well!”

Honestly, if Bai Fu weren’t so famous and not so many Players were trying to get close to her, Sword Qi Soaring wouldn’t even consider such a roundabout strategy to join the Truth Society.

During the eting, so Players voiced concern.

They agreed Sword Qi Soaring’s plan was excellent, but feared that targeting Bai Fu might upset many Players and hinder the guild’s growth.

Sword Qi Soaring waved his hand: “Relax, we’re not going to go after Bai Fu directly. We’re just going to use her and Excavation‑Princess and the others to gather intel for the Truth Society. Once we’re in the Truth Society, our level will rise quickly. At that point, why would we care about ordinary Players? What matters is completing the sponsor’s mission.”

The sponsor is god!

Thinking that he was about to et Bai Fu soon, Sword Qi Soaring couldn’t help but get excited.

“Let’s et up with Excavation‑Princess first. We’ll need her help to find Bai Fu.”

The other Players had no objections. A group of more than ten people moved out with their money.

Seeing how quickly the Players had adapted to Lynn in the livestream room, Bai Fu nodded in satisfaction.

She had already worked well with Excavation‑Princess, Starfish‑bro, Convert to My Fu, and the others earlier.

Now with another batch of professional Players arriving, she felt even more confident dealing with Division Four and the Truth Society.

“Gotta find an opportunity to give them those Profession Knowledge Books, otherwise they’ll get stuck on their level caps.”

The next day, Bai Fu got the chance.

Xia Shi sent word: Division Four had sothing important to discuss with her.

On her way to Division Four, Bai Fu handed Anya and the Profession Knowledge Books over to Excavation‑Princess.

She didn’t feel comfortable leaving Anya alone at Xia Shi’s house. Who knew when an assassin and that spy might start coordinating again?

It was safer to let the Players watch over Anya.

Given Anya’s relationship with her, the Players would never just watch an assassin kill her.

Bai Fu arrived at Division Four, where the entire upper managent was waiting for her in the conference room.

“I’ll let my secretary, Li Cheng, explain the details,” said Lu Yuelin, giving the floor to Li Cheng.

Li Cheng stood up and went over the cooperation details discussed in a recent eting.

“I know you’re interested in Advanced Applications of Psionic Power, so I specifically submitted a request to the higher-ups. I just received the data from headquarters.”

He raised a hard drive.

Bai Fu imdiately used Psionic Vision on the drive.

【Data Drive (Special)】

【Quality】: White

【Additional Effect】: A hard drive that appears ordinary, but contains Advanced Applications of Psionic Power held by the Gene Primordials

“……”

Bai Fu’s breath hitched slightly.

Yes, yes, yes, this was it!

She had been hoping for this for a long ti.

She didn’t expect it to just show up like this.

She forced herself to keep a calm expression, so as not to let others see anything strange.

Li Cheng continued, “Being bait is dangerous—you could die at any mont. But if you cooperate with us, not only will you get a chance to obtain the Advanced Applications of Psionic Power you want, the threat from the Truth Society will also be greatly reduced once the spy is caught. Think it over carefully.”

Bai Fu replied with a soft “mm.”

She was thinking about whether to cooperate with Division Four.

Given her actual strength, normal assassins could hardly kill her, but that didn’t an she could act without restraint.

What if the assassin had a large-caliber sniper rifle or a powerful bomb?

Of course, special assassins like Yulia, who possessed supernatural abilities, could also pose a threat to her.

For safety’s sake, she should reject Li Cheng’s offer. But if she missed this opportunity, who knew how long it would take before she could get access to the Psionic Knowledge Chain held by the Gene Primordials?

Bai Fu’s eyes moved slightly as she thought of a good plan.

After pretending to think for a while, she raised her head.

In that mont, she brought out the sa level of performance she’d used the night she parted with the Players.

Ti to act!

“There’s been a spy watching from the shadows for a while now. It’s really annoying,” Bai Fu nodded. “I can agree to cooperate with you, but there’s one condition.”

Li Cheng asked, “What condition?”

Bai Fu said, “Director Lu ntioned that even with his authority, it’s very difficult to get Advanced Applications of Psionic Power. But you managed to obtain them. Although the situation is different now, I still want to verify the goods first—just in case I’m being tricked.”

Li Cheng’s face darkened. “Are you questioning my credibility?”

Before Bai Fu could respond, the head of the operations team jumped in to undercut him: “Your credibility? Yeah, it’s definitely worth questioning.”

Bang!

Li Cheng slamd the table hard. “Say that again?”

Lu Yuelin quickly stepped in to smooth things over. “Peace brings prosperity. What’s the harm in verifying it? Let her verify it—it’ll ease Little Bai’s mind. Just use the terminal in the conference room.”

The others couldn’t keep watching the drama and chid in one after another.

“Let her take a look. What could go wrong?”

“You really think Bai Fu could steal the data in front of all of us?”

“The hard drive couldn’t possibly have fake data in it, right? Haha.”

Division Four had a lot of nepotism, and internal factions were extrely complex. But most of them shared one view—they didn’t like Li Cheng.

In a spy thriller, Li Cheng would be the guy desperate to rise up and prove himself, but who ended up alienating nearly all of his coworkers.

Seeing this, Bai Fu knew she had won.

Sure enough, amid all the discussion, Li Cheng’s face was ashen as he handed the drive to her. “You don’t need to teach you how to use a terminal, right?”

Bai Fu smiled. “No need.”

Li Cheng said coldly, “There are over a dozen pairs of eyes watching, and all of Division Four’s terminals are specially encrypted.”

Bai Fu put on an innocent face.

What bad intentions could a little white rabbit like have? You think I’m so genius hacker who can copy the data off the drive without anyone noticing?

You’re really overestimating . I’m just a perfectly ordinary wall-hacker.

Copy?

I’ll just read the progress bar directly!

In front of everyone, Bai Fu connected the hard drive to the terminal.

As soon as she opened the file reader, a prompt popped up.

【You have begun reading “Advanced Applications of Psionic Power held by the Gene Primordials.” Interdiate Psionic Specialization is in effect. Your reading speed 20%. Current progress: 0.1%...】

No wonder it was advanced knowledge—the reading bar was much longer than usual.

Previously, it had taken her just twenty minutes to read other books, but now it would take several hours.

Of course, since this was just a verification, Division Four would never let her sit at the terminal for several hours.

But that didn’t matter. Bai Fu only cared about the Psionic Knowledge Chain contained within, so she focused on those parts.

The conference room fell into silence. Li Cheng sat in his chair, staring expressionlessly at Bai Fu’s back.

No one knew what he was thinking.

After more than twenty minutes, Bai Fu received a ga prompt.

【You have unlocked Psionic Knowledge Chain (2)】

After mastering two Knowledge Chains, her Knowledge Chain bonus beca—

【All Psionic active skill effects 40%, Psionic resistance 40%, Psionic recovery speed 2/min】

【Note: Unlocking a new Knowledge Chain grants 20% to all Psionic active skill effects, 10% Psionic resistance, and unlocks Psionic bonuses】

This bonus instantly delighted Bai Fu.

Counting the bonus from Interdiate Psionic Specialization, her active skill effects were boosted by a total of 60%, thoroughly outclassing an average Psionic Prayer-user.

The gap between an Advanced Class and an Advanced threshold class was precisely in things like this.

This was also why many top-tier players in the Community advised against staying under-leveled or training multiple classes simultaneously.

Even if one wanted to multi-class, it was best to level up the main class to Advanced first—otherwise, it would be easy to fall behind others.

Bai Fu’s gaze lingered on the Psionic bonus ntioned in the note.

This bonus was also crucial—it not only improved the Player’s attributes and strength, but transitioning from an Advanced threshold class to an Advanced Class also involved a real 【Class Transfer】, just like in DNF when reaching a certain level allowed the Ghost Swordsman to transfer to classes like Berserker, Soul Reaper, or Asura.

In Beyond the Stars, the direction chosen for the bonuses also determined the Player’s future specialization path.

The Psionic stream started off with a support role leaning towards buffing, but as levels rose and more skills beca available, there were builds focused on combat, curses, or healing.

Although she had already unlocked the Psionic Knowledge Chain, Bai Fu didn’t stop reading, because she found there were still plenty of other good things on the hard drive—like an incomplete Psionic Knowledge Chain, and so special skills.

Li Cheng was starting to get impatient. “How long are you going to check this?”

Bai Fu remained calm. “What’s the rush? If I don’t check thoroughly, how would I know if the contents aren’t made up?”

A few minutes later, Li Cheng got up and walked over to the terminal.

“It’s already been half an hour. If you keep stalling, this eting might as well be canceled.”

Fine.

Bai Fu reluctantly shut off the terminal.

During that ti, she had accumulated quite a bit of knowledge, and even unlocked a new skill: 【Psionic Shield】.

【Psionic Shield】: Consus Psionic Value to generate a full-body shield equal to (Psionic Value *2), lasts 5 minutes, cooldown ti 12 seconds.

If she used up all her Psionic Value, she’d gain 230 HP out of thin air. But the power of Psionic Shield didn’t stop there—before the shield was depleted, all damage she received would not affect her actual HP.

In a battle of attrition, this gave her a significant advantage.

Ti to eat again, brothers!

Facing Li Cheng’s gloomy expression, Bai Fu was in high spirits.

“I just went through the data on the hard drive. I can’t speak for the rest of it, but the parts I checked were fine. I believe in your sincerity to cooperate, and I’m willing to assist in luring out that spy.”

Hearing this, Li Cheng’s tense expression eased slightly.

“Pleasure working with you.”

“Pleasure, pleasure.”

Bai Fu really was pleased.

Now that she had the Knowledge Chain, she could have just bailed, but she wanted to see if she could pick up a few more high-reward quests from Division Four.

If she could, she’d stick around a bit longer. If not, she’d take Anya and scram.

After seeing everyone out, Li Cheng also broke into a smile.

Spy?

He was the spy!

But no one knew this—no one even suspected it. Because before Bai Fu showed up, he was already known as the guy who clashed with everyone, so continuing to be hostile toward Bai Fu just looked like business as usual.

After leaving Division Four, Li Cheng sent a ssage to his contact.

In the upcoming operation, Division Four would implent a total network lockdown on all of Lynn, so this would be his last ssage to the Truth Society for a while.

“Bai Fu, I’ll play this ga with you slowly. Once the Guild Leader officially makes a move, and there’s no need to keep distracting the Intelligence Bureau, it’ll be your ti to die!”

……

Division Four’s work was quickly set in motion.

When Bai Fu went to pick up Anya, she found Sword Qi Soaring playing with her. From the looks of it, Sword Qi Soaring was clearly trying to extract information from Anya.

But who was Anya?

Anya was her top disciple.

After Bai Fu briefed her, Anya turned into a master baiter—delivering vague hints and half-truths to the max.

Sword Qi Soaring spent two whole hours buying her snacks and running errands, but still didn’t get any useful intel.

“Damn it, you’re telling I can’t even fool a little kid?!”

Sword Qi Soaring was so mad he could grind his teeth to dust, but he had to keep pretending to be a gentleman.

Endure the hardship, and you shall rise above!

Soon, Sword Qi Soaring got his chance to build Favorability with Bai Fu—it was the day after they t.

“I can’t move freely right now. I need your help to investigate sothing.”
