What Should I Do After Turning into a Random NPC in the Beginner Village Who Could Drop Dead Anytime?
At first, Bai Fu was just trying to survive by raising players’ favorability toward her.
Her plan was to leverage their strength to "adjust the difficulty level" of the NPCs she didn't get along with.
She never expected to accidentally raise that favorability a bit too high.
From 【The Player’s Most Reliable Support】
To 【The Lonely Watcher on the Borderlands】
Then to 【The First Saint of the Empire’s Darkest Age】
The players, exercising their full enthusiasm and initiative, placed her on a divine pedestal.
In the Empire’s 30th millennium, a certain former emperor—who requested anonymity—publicly denounced her in a newspaper interview:
“Those damn undying freaks charged into the palace shouting things like 'friendship' and 'bonds,' then forced my crown onto that demon Bai Fu’s head! What a disaster!”
Faced with the accusation, Bai Fu responded with great indignation:
“Demon? Me? Nonsense! From start to finish, I’ve always been promoting love and justice. Don’t lie through your teeth… I’ve had it rough too, okay? Maybe try some self-reflection for once. After all these years, have you ever considered why those undying players only come after you… and never me?”
