Chapter 148: Officially Recognized Legendary Protagonist, Bai Fu Charges Toward the Star Sea
Bai Fu's plan was proceeding extremely smoothly. Over there, the Excavation‑Princess and the Calamity Dragon were still bantering away. She feigned ignorance as she barged into the Livestream Room, calling out that she was thirsty while taking a few sips of the drink the Calamity Dragon had pulled out.
“Mm, this tastes just right to me. Where did you get this drink?”
When the ultra-realistic game and a popular in-game NPC drinking a real-life beverage came together, it turned into an instant classic advertisement.
You could promote like this?
The Livestream recording immediately attracted a flood of viewers who came for the hype. After watching the video, many shared it in passing, causing the video to go viral at an even faster rate.
【Now Fu‑fu really is a cyber idol】
【When will Fu‑fu perform singing, dancing, rapping, and basketball? I know plenty of bigshots have made similar MMDs, but I still want to see Fu‑fu dance herself】
In the Community, Players on Origin Star cheerfully discussed.
The Calamity Dragon's father, having scored a huge wave of exposure, instantly realized this was a golden opportunity. Since Bai Fu liked their drink, why not build a beverage factory in-game too?
Then just slap the factory under Bai Fu's name, give her the lion’s share of the profits—after all, game currency meant nothing to him. What he really wanted was the advertising value Bai Fu brought.
Bai Fu naturally wouldn’t refuse such a partnership. No need to worry about a thing—just show her face and she’d pocket most of the profits. On top of that, Players would still praise her for being good-looking and conscientious. Even captains dealing in cyber-slave trade would tear up at the sight—
Damn it, even cyber welfare girls didn’t make money this easily. At least cyber welfare girls still had to seriously strike poses and consider which poses would better attract attention.
“See? That’s the power of fame.”
Bai Fu was very pleased. She was increasingly glad she hadn’t impulsively gone the cyber welfare girl route at the beginning.
Now with the Calamity Dragon as a model case, more and more Players were bound to collaborate with her in the future. Coupled with the painstakingly crafted Garden of Silence, her Secret Garden had now taken formal shape. What she needed to do next was to keep increasing her Plot Participation, fame, and so on, to expand the scale of her Secret Garden.
Short on money or XP?
Just dig hard in her own Secret Garden. If digging didn’t work, then scrape. Dig down to the roots. No way she wouldn’t find something good.
“This is my foothold in the Star Sea.”
In the water-filled bathtub, Bai Fu excitedly raised her legs.
After working herself sore and disheveled all day long just to gather enough XP to level up once, squeezing Players was a whole different story. All she had to do was strike a few poses and Players would get so excited they’d pour all their hard-earned XP into her. One Player’s XP was negligible, but with a crowd of Players together, the XP flood would be enough to drown someone. Even a fool would know which option was more pleasant.
Bai Fu looked up at the clock on the wall. As the second hand ticked past the 12, a melodious notification sound echoed in her ears—the third time she’d heard it already.
【Plot Participation confirming (0%……10%……)】
【Current Plot Exploration on Origin Star: 13.4%】
【Character Role recalibrating (0%……2%……)】
【Character Role updated from [Origin Star Single Main Storyline Protagonist] to [Legendary Protagonist of Origin Star]】
【Character Profile recalibrating (0%……2%……)】
“It’s happening, it’s happening!”
Bai Fu stood up with a splash.
She had long awaited this moment. The full details hadn’t yet loaded, but just seeing the words “Legendary Protagonist” was already pushing her emotions toward a climax.
This label was way cooler than something like “the sole true protagonist of xx star,” right?
A few minutes later, the Character Profile adjustment reached 100%. Bai Fu quickly clicked on the newly popped-up notification.
【Adjustment 1: Your Life Strength and Psionic Fusion have surpassed the evolution threshold. You have received the opportunity to evolve your race.】
【1. Ancient Human of the Rebirth Empire】
【2. Titan Subspecies】
【3. Star-praying Human】
“Whoa, big stuff right from the start!”
Bai Fu's eyes lit up. Having undergone evolution twice before, she knew very well that evolution would bring a massive boost to her power.
She quickly skimmed through the brief introductions of the three races.
Ancient Human of the Rebirth Empire was the most standard evolution route for a Star-Adaptive Human. No particular strengths, no glaring weaknesses—a balanced choice.
Titan Subspecies were once the most common human variant within the influence of Titan Industries. With strong bonuses in stamina and strength, it was the favorite of Body Cultivation classes. It had to be said: after evolving into a Titan Subspecies, even if one started out as an A, under the racial Talent boost, there was a high chance of becoming a 2B.
Star-praying Human, on the other hand, was a race that provided bonuses in Psionic areas and aligned most closely with Bai Fu's current path.
Since she was committed to the Psionic route, Bai Fu decisively chose the Star-praying Human. The synergy between race and Main Class was a serious matter—mess it up and you could lose 50% of your combat power for nothing.
【Undergoing racial evolution…… You have completed Gene Optimization. Your race has been changed to Star-praying Human.】
【Race change complete. You have gained Stat Bonuses——
Strength +11, Agility +11, Constitution +6, Intelligence +10, Spirit +9, Inspiration +18】
【You have acquired racial trait bonuses——
Gain 1 extra point of Inspiration upon every level-up;
Each point of Constitution grants +5 HP; each point of Inspiration grants +5 Psionic Value;
+5% abnormal resistance, +5% Psionic damage reduction rate】
As soon as the prompt sounded, Bai Fu felt a wave of sharp pain surge from deep within her body. Amidst the pain came tingles and itches that made her sweat profusely as she clutched the edge of the tub. She was very glad she had gotten into the bathtub beforehand. Otherwise, her clothes, socks, and bedsheets would’ve ended up all sticky and gross—hard to wash.
Over ten minutes passed before Bai Fu finally overcame the agony brought by evolution.
With the pain gone, what followed was an unprecedented sense of bliss.
“Feeling great now!”
Bai Fu was overjoyed. Not only did the racial evolution boost her strength, but it also gave her body even more perfect proportions. Even the big ones looked bigger—she measured. It wasn’t an illusion.
This was evolution!
With evolution complete, Bai Fu's Player Interface showed a massive leap in her Stats.
【HP】：8192/8192
【Psionic Value】：7610/7610
【Qi】：630/630
【Stats】：Strength 85, Agility 126, Constitution 212, Intelligence 103, Spirit 106, Inspiration 379
Compared to before, her HP had increased by 2000 points, and her base Inspiration was rapidly approaching 400. As for her base Constitution...
Bai Fu felt that if other NPCs saw how ridiculously high her Constitution was, they’d definitely curse out loud, “What the hell is this nonsense?” What normal Psionic Prayer-user could train their Player Interface to look like this?
All she could say was, being able to freely allocate Stat Points was just so satisfying.
Bai Fu eagerly clicked on the second notification.
【Adjustment 2: Talent [Twin True Spirits I] has been revised into exclusive Talent [Twin Moons]】
【Twin True Spirits I】 was the special Talent that allowed her to summon Hei Fu. After being revised into the exclusive Talent 【Twin Moons】, the name aligned more closely with the image Bai Fu had crafted for herself. A Legendary Protagonist needed Talent and Skill names with the flair worthy of such a title.
Compared to 【Twin True Spirits I】, the effects of 【Twin Moons】 had significantly improved. The newly summoned Hei Fu now inherited 85% of Bai Fu’s Stats instead of 80%, and the additional Stat Bonuses increased from All Stats +3 to All Stats +5—half the effect of Yulia’s Blessed Link.
“That’s the benefit of having more wings!”
Bai Fu sighed with emotion.
From Succubus to twelve-winged angel—just wait and see who can still fight her then!
Bai Fu flipped to the third notification.
【Adjustment 3: You have comprehended the rare Skill [Blessing of the Mind]】
“Eh?”
Bai Fu blinked. Wasn’t this the Prayer Card she got after retrieving the True Spirit Pillar Fragment? She didn’t expect it to become a Skill.
This was a massive buff for her, because Skills and Prayer Cards didn’t share cooldowns. This meant as long as she got timely Mana Recharge from Yulia, she could activate “Phase Two” twice in a short span.
Players would struggle painfully through her first Phase Two, thinking joyfully it was finally their chance to get revenge—only to suddenly see her roar, her body glowing white, and boom—another Phase Two...
【I’ll be damned, what am I even fighting here!】
【Fight Bai Fu? I’d rather go punch the Developers who designed this crappy monster!】
Just imagining the scene made Bai Fu chuckle. She was all for stacking more mechanics that would break Players and NPCs mentally.
【Adjustment 4: You have received Origin Star Legendary Certification [Card Queen (Origin Star) - Bai Fu]】
So-called Legendary Certifications were akin to nicknames unlocked after reaching a certain threshold of Regional Reputation—like “Great Sage Equal to Heaven Sun Wukong,” or “Timely Rain Song Jiang.”
These nicknames weren’t just fancy titles—they provided notable additional buffs.
Bai Fu clicked on the Legendary Certification she received, 【Card Queen】. It came with two bonuses.
The first was a 50% boost to her card creation efficiency. That was no small buff—this would make her skill at squeezing Players even more refined.
The second bonus affected her Garden of Silence faction. First, she could issue more Quests, and Quest Reward caps were significantly increased. Second, Players who joined the Garden of Silence faction would receive a 2% Inspiration Stat Bonus. At this stage, the bonus wasn’t much, but who would dislike extra free Stats?
Probably only those Players who played eroge intentionally lowering their Stats just to trigger defeat CGs.
Bai Fu was quite satisfied with this upgrade.
With this buff, she could now intentionally let more hot soup spill for Players to sip while she happily devoured meat. This would hugely help her recruit more Players into the Garden of Silence in the future.
Bai Fu casually clicked on the next notification.
【Adjustment 5: Character Power Classification has been revised from [World BOSS (Origin Star)] to [Standard Hidden BOSS (Star Sea)]】
This revision made her title sound less dominant than before, but it couldn’t be helped. Right now, she had zero Plot Participation in the Star Sea, and as for her notoriety, it was limited to the Player-active planets.
She still had to grind hard.
After farming more Plot Exploration, doing more Quests, and boosting her strength, she could unlock a new Legendary Certification. She believed her classification would rise quickly again.
With a Player Interface in hand, Bai Fu wasn’t anxious. As long as she didn’t have insanely bad luck and run into a super BOSS right out the gate, she had full confidence in carving out a brilliant future in the Star Sea.
This round of enhancements ended here for her, but the following notifications still kept stimulating Bai Fu’s nerves.
First came Adjustments 6, 7, and 8.
【Adjustment 6: Anya revised to [Garden of Silence] [Combat Commander]】
【Adjustment 7: Anya’s Template revised to [Mental Overclocker]】
【Adjustment 8: Anya has acquired the Talent [Great Luck]】
The sixth adjustment was an identity revision—nothing to care about. But the seventh and eighth ones were very important.
After a wild round of speculation from Players on Indigo Star, Anya’s identity had been completely bound to her false identity as the Sovereign of the Shadowed Night, and most Players firmly believed she was a disciple left behind by the “Spirit Sovereign,” Bai Fu’s so-called follower. When the game reopened and Players saw Anya’s Template had become Mental Overclocker, they’d surely buy into that theory even more.
“Mental Overclocker, huh? And it’s a rare Template too. Not bad, not bad.”
Martial arts plus mental Esper Power—that had real potential in Bai Fu’s eyes.
She never expected Anya to charge into battle for her. The kid was still young—too much fighting wasn’t healthy. She just needed to think hard on how to help Bai Fu squeeze Players. During battles, if she could toss out a few buffs and block mental attacks, that’d already be excellent.
During her time on Origin Star, what Bai Fu feared most were mental Esper Power users—they were practically unblockable. If the Truth Society President had been a mental Esper instead of a Psionic Warrior, she might have needed another half a year to prep before sending him off.
Anya’s buff this time was indeed solid. The growth potential of a Mental Overclocker wasn’t bad, and it gave her a significant boost at this stage. Sure, she was still miles from Advanced Psionicists, but compared to Players, she now seemed quite formidable. In the future, if some Player thought she was cute and tried to pinch her cheeks, she wouldn’t need to summon Little Hei Fu anymore—she could smack them back herself.
Crossing off Anya’s upgrade notifications, Bai Fu flipped to the final three.
【Adjustment 9: Yulia revised to [Garden of Silence] [Laboratory Supervisor] [Moon’s Black Crow]】
【Adjustment 10: Xia Shi revised to [Garden of Silence] [Origin Star Administrator] [Mechanic]】
【Adjustment 11: Self-created Quest [Rebuild Origin Star] will be revised into Origin Star Main Storyline in version 1.3】
These three adjustments were positioning updates, formally integrating Yulia—formerly suspected of being the main antagonist—and Xia Shi—the former protagonist—into the Garden of Silence as her left and right guardians.
Among them, Yulia’s title 【Moon’s Black Crow】 was particularly interesting. Moon referred to Bai Fu, and Black Crow was Yulia’s former nickname. So the translation of “Moon’s Black Crow” basically meant “Yulia of mine (Bai Fu).”
Goodness, that turned into pure romance in an instant.
But the one Bai Fu cared about most was Adjustment 11—official recognition of the Origin Star Reconstruction Project she had created.
“Now, even if I leave Origin Star, with the support of many Players, the Garden of Silence won’t collapse.”
As the saying goes, to capture the Player’s heart, you must first seize the Main Storyline.
Right now, Bai Fu had her hands on the only visible Main Storyline of Origin Star. What she held wasn’t just the Player’s heart—it was their lifeline.
Don’t listen to me?
Then enjoy a broken game life with no Main Quests to do, ㄴokay?
After reading through all the strengthening prompts, Bai Fu opened the Garden of Silence faction management interface.
Having grinded her Reputation to the top rank on Origin Star, she could now create two new faction instances. Faction instances were prime tools for harvesting Player XP, so of course she wouldn’t let that go unused.
She spent about ten minutes and added two new instances to the faction: 【Graham Ambush】 and 【Blackhawk Base Ambush】. Use the Origin Star Reconstruction Project to train Players, then harvest them through instances and celebration events—utter perfection!
Bai Fu happily closed the faction management interface.
She thought it over and decided that now was the perfect time to gamble some cards.
She had just received official buffs, so logically this should be her luckiest moment.
She checked her XP pool. After ten days of using Interstellar Common Language and Offline PvP to slash through Players, she had earned a total of 110 million XP—unprecedented wealth.
Bai Fu dumped 7 million XP in one go to max out her Psionic Field to Lv10, without even blinking.
At Lv10, Psionic Field had a 50-meter range and reduced 40% of non-special damage when activated—an incredible effect. Plus, it could evolve with the right Evolution Fragment item. The only downside was its high Psionic consumption, so it couldn’t be used constantly. But for Bai Fu, who had Mana Recharge master Yulia backing her up, this wasn’t much of a problem.
“Looks like I need to work more closely with Yulia on studying her Mana Recharge mechanics.”
What a cunning woman—her calculations were perfectly clear.
Bai Fu sighed and began throwing XP into the Prayer Card synthesis feature. Now that she had entered the interstellar stage, her current Prayer Cards might not suffice anymore. She needed a larger arsenal of Prayer Cards to expand her combat options.
From her past battle experience, she actually leaned toward collecting more summon-type Prayer Cards and going full summon route. This style was safer and better for selling cards to Players.
But the Psionic knowledge she had so far didn’t support deep dives into this route, so she could only explore other paths for now. After slamming 10 million XP into the system, she synthesized one 【Dark Thorns】, one 【Fixed Void Ball·Revised】, and one 【Wings of Freedom】.
Dark Thorns left behind “thorns” made of dark-attribute Psionic energy on the ground. They inflicted burn damage, and over time, even had a small chance of causing the target to stiffen—a great trap card, whether used to restrict movement or zone enemies.
Fixed Void Ball·Revised, as the name implied, summoned immobile Void Ball·Revised units. Despite many limitations, she could summon up to 30 at once—extremely effective in zone warfare.
Wings of Freedom was the interesting one—a support card that gave the user temporary gliding ability.
Bai Fu was very pleased with the effects of these three cards—yet more excellent tools for harvesting Players!
She soaked in the bathtub for a full hour and a half before finally leaving under the summons of a knock at the door.
After changing clothes, she walked to the door and opened it to find Anya excitedly standing outside.
“What’s up?”
Anya nimbly squeezed into the room. “Boss, I just had a dream. I dreamed you were calling my name, and I suddenly woke up. Then I realized—I think I awakened something. Mental Esper Power. I think that’s what it is.”
She used mental force to lift her hair.
She didn’t seem very skilled, but being able to use mental power to lift things right after awakening meant her talent wasn’t something a typical mental Esper could match.
However, a problem now stood before Bai Fu—Origin Star didn’t have any particularly strong mental Esper-type individuals. To train Anya’s abilities, they’d have to head to the Star Sea.
One step at a time. Bai Fu also needed to go to the Star Sea to seek out Psionic knowledge and trigger her Class Change quest. Otherwise, the 90 million XP sitting on her would have nowhere to go.
“This is a good thing.”
Bai Fu praised Anya a few times. Anya, high on excitement, began spamming mental powers all over the living room, and it didn’t take long before she drained herself dry. Bai Fu shook her head and carried her to bed.
Over the next few days, she explained to each faction the reason for the Players’ disappearance, using fairly vague wording.
On the eighth day, Bai Fu received a proactive ping from the spaceship’s AI—
【The spaceship is repaired!】
Reading the text on the terminal, Bai Fu shot up and quickly dragged Xia Shi to the ship to inspect the situation.
【Warp engine: intact. Kinetic cannon: intact. Disintegration cannon: severely damaged—cannot be repaired with Origin Star resources. Plasma torpedoes: 2 remaining. Cocoon-type force field shield: 78.1% integrity】
The AI gave a serious report.
Bai Fu eagerly looked around. Everything was ready—now they just needed the Players to return, and it’d be almost time to depart for the Star Sea.
With two days left until the Players returned, it was the perfect chance to decorate the ship’s interior. Supplies had already been loaded, so now it was time to stock up on food and water—especially water, the source of life. Even though the ship had an ecological recycling system, it never hurt to have more clean water in reserve.
“Bai Fu.”
Just then, Bai Fu suddenly heard Xia Shi calling her.
“What is it?”
She walked over, confused, and found Xia Shi crouched beside a shattered metal cylinder.
Xia Shi said, “If I’m not mistaken, this should be a signal transmitter. It just activated alongside the ship’s systems, but since it wasn’t on for long, it’s unlikely anyone receiving the signal could trace our exact location. No—in fact, now that I think about it, it should be impossible. After all, Fragment Star used this ship to escape to us. If it could be located via the signal transmitter, it would’ve been captured long ago.”
Bai Fu nodded. True—made sense.
“But…” Xia Shi changed her tone. “Even if they can’t trace us through this signal transmitter, this ship is no longer safe. Once we reach the Star Sea, it might get recognized. You’d best switch to a new ship as soon as you arrive to avoid being tracked.”
“Thanks.”
Bai Fu felt a wave of reassurance—having a mechanic nearby was really a blessing.
…
At the same time.
Far from Origin Star, in the distant frontier world of the Sea Lion System—on the planet Shijing.
This was a heavily mechanically modified planet, named after the Shijing Security Corporation that headquartered here. Dozens of starports floated in the planet’s upper atmosphere. Each port had a distinct design, evenly scattered across the starry sky. Blue beams emitted from the tops of these ports, connecting them to each other and guiding incoming and outgoing ships like lighthouses.
At that moment, in the circular observatory atop Starport 3, a humanoid lifeform suddenly widened his eyes. Just now, a chip implanted in his body had transmitted an emergency alert to his brain.
“That top-secret-class ship just appeared!”
He stared intensely at the blue 3D star map floating in front of him and quickly summoned the central computer’s AI to help analyze the data received from the long-range signal transmitter.
Unfortunately, just like a hundred Origin Star years ago, the computer still couldn’t pinpoint the transmitter’s location. The signal had come from an unexplored dark zone—an area with billions of stars interfering with calculations.
The observer rubbed his temples, feeling like he’d missed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make a name for himself.
He didn’t know what exactly that ship carried. His rank wasn’t high enough to access corporate secrets. But he knew what “top-secret-class” meant to the company. It was something they had been obsessing over for years. If he had pinpointed the ship’s location, the company’s reward would’ve been enough to let him live out the rest of his life in comfort.
While cursing his luck, the observer quickly contacted his superior.
The message was escalated step by step until it reached the top executives of the Shijing Security Corporation. They immediately convened a remote meeting.
“That freighter appeared again. After all this time, I thought Fragment Star was already dead.”
“Even if he’s not dead, he’s probably too old to stand up straight. I’m more inclined to believe he’s already dead and someone else started up the ship.”
“Who it is doesn’t matter. Since the ship has been activated, it means there’s a chance it might return to the frontier worlds. This is our opportunity. My father died never having seen that True Spirit Pillar. Now it’s up to me to fulfill his final wish.”
“The Secret Tower will bless us!”
After a brief discussion, the remote meeting ended. Shijing Security Corporation moved swiftly, dispatching multiple units to monitor various starports across the Sea Lion System, and attempting to bribe port inspection personnel within the Starweb Union to provide them with intelligence.
……
The ten-day downtime for the update passed quickly. The moment the server reopened, Origin Star’s long-waiting Players swarmed into the game.
Upon logging in, the Players immediately flipped open the faction interface and saw two new challenge instances added to the interface, along with several new Prayer Cards in the Pre-battle Supply Store. They couldn’t help but exclaim in delight.
【Only Fu-fu can consistently come up with new tricks to keep things fresh】
Garden of Silence Players eagerly explored the differences between version 1.3 and 1.2. Before long, they made a new discovery.
【Legendary buff, Inspiration +2%! Damn, they actually added this kind of thing?】
【Lao Fu’s really moving up in the world】
【Climb, climb! Fu-fu is the Lord of the Dark Night—what’s so surprising about her having a bonus like this?】
The Garden of Silence Players kept bickering and bantering, creating a lively scene, but their excitement over the new version didn’t last long. On the second day after the server reopened, as they saw vehicles constantly entering and leaving Bai Fu Town and various other faction NPCs appearing there, they had a vague premonition that something big was about to happen. Just like Stars‑chan and Chibi Fu‑fu said in the update teaser—now that the road to the Star Sea had appeared, the Bai Fu who came from the Star Sea was likely returning to it.
Yes, this was the final farewell.
Ever since Bai Fu hinted she was preparing to leave, many NPCs had come to bid her goodbye over the past few days. She received these visitors warmly and cheerfully assured them she would return.
It was also a warning to those harboring ill intentions—don’t think you can act recklessly just because Bai Fu is gone. First consider whether you can handle Old Nissen, Xia Shi, and the Players, all backed by a multitude of Prayer Cards. Then think about whether you can withstand her revenge when she returns.
All in all, her meetings with these people were quite pleasant.
If not for Gaoyuan wanting her to witness the statue being erected in person, she would have left on the day the Players logged in.
Four nights later.
Bai Fu invited familiar faces—Su Li, Old Nissen, Sean, Gaoyuan, Xia Shi and her daughter, Yulia, Anya—for a meal.
This was her final supper on Origin Star. For once, she had a bit of alcohol, but didn’t get drunk. After the meal, standing on the rooftop, she reminisced with Xia Shi and Yulia about their journey from strangers to comrades on Origin Star.
When evening came, Bai Fu sought out the Players still engaged in PvP and officially announced her plan to depart for the Star Sea.
“Excluding me, Hei Fu, Anya, and Yulia, the ship can hold 96 more people. Are you willing to follow me to the Star Sea? The Star Sea is full of danger—but also full of opportunity.”
Though there had been speculation, the news still sparked intense discussion among the Player community.
Go? Of course they wanted to go. If not, what were they grinding for?
“Me, me, me…”
A crowd of Players immediately volunteered.
Bai Fu first picked the publicity duo, Excavation Princess and Underworld Thunder Dragon, then added those who’d fought alongside her from the Abandoned Cooling Plant—Patrick Star, Convert-to-Fu, Black Tiger Ah Fu, and others. She also brought along Grandmaster Tai Er, who was a hot topic among Players. For the remaining slots, she allocated a few to Sword Qi Soars to the Sky, Black Scoundrel, and other major guild members—bringing them would significantly boost their combat strength. The final slots were determined by the results of the Players’ own Offline PvP competitions.
The next morning at dawn, Gaoyuan sent people to erect a statue in Bai Fu Town square.
As the sun rose in golden brilliance, a thirty-meter-tall statue of Bai Fu was finally completed.
The statue had a unique design: the stone-carved Bai Fu wore a small crown, raised a scepter high in her right hand, and stood atop a pedestal engraved with countless Player names. Her gaze fixed upon the deep starry sky.
Following the line of the statue’s eyes, the people on the ground saw a sudden whirlwind rise on the sands outside Bai Fu Town. Then, a spaceship burst through the dust, soared into the golden sky, and disappeared into the boundless blue until it could no longer be seen.
“A new journey begins.”
Bai Fu stood by the bridge window of the freighter, overlooking the shrinking Bai Fu Town, her heart surging with emotion and filled with endless anticipation.
……
“Whoa, that woman finally left!”
On the ground, some people let out a breath of relief as they saw the ship vanish.
Bai Fu’s presence had been suffocating. Ever since rumors of her preparing to leave Origin Star started circulating, they had been waiting for this day. Now, they felt completely relaxed, as if they had just chugged a cold drink on a sweltering day.
But relaxed or not, none dared to actually take revenge on the Garden of Silence—they couldn’t afford to gamble.
In the crowd, Igor pulled out his terminal. “Now’s the perfect time to release the documentary. Get ready.”
To publish a documentary on the day the statue was erected and the ship left Origin Star—what better way to summarize Bai Fu’s journey here?
Compared to the NPCs, the Players were even more emotional.
Some felt envious, some jealous, and some reluctant to part.
【Sigh, who knows when Fu-fu will return. Before she does, I’ll definitely grind my level up】
【Treasure hunters, don’t forget to share more photos and videos of Fu-fu, please!!】
【Main quest time, let’s go brothers!】
【Damn it, I only just joined the Garden of Silence】
Several Players howled at the sky. Seeing their exaggerated expressions, Xia Shi, who had been a little melancholy, suddenly found herself in a good mood.
A lot of people really liked Bai Fu—even though she was gone, these undying folks still missed her.
“This isn’t the end, but another beginning. I believe—even in the Star Sea, you’ll surely make your mark!”
Xia Shi gazed into the sky.
Until Bai Fu returned, she would look up at the sky like this every day.
……
Lynn Settlement, Prison No.1. At that moment, the Wildfire Gang Boss who was working inside the prison suddenly heard a commotion outside.
“What’s going on?”
He asked out of curiosity, and what he heard next shocked him.
“Bai Fu ascended?!”
Holy crap!
The Wildfire Gang Boss was stunned. Then, a surge of heroic pride filled his heart.
“That Bai Fu—I always believed in her. Thought she could take over my mantle. And guess what? She became the legend of Origin Star, an eternal legend! Hahahaha!”
No one in the prison believed the Wildfire Gang Boss. They all thought he was bragging.
Come on—like you know Bai Fu?
Facing their doubt, the Wildfire Gang Boss didn’t care at all.
The legend continued. His foresight? Absolutely real!
