Who made her an NPC!.

Chapter 400: Fighting for a Better Future [4k]

The requirements to unlock the Mystery Code Level II are very high.

Bai Fu needs to break through the life barrier herself and raise the total level of her single profession to level 275.

You need to raise the total level of Ailijie to level 274, the total level of Yulia to level 230 or above, and the total level of Feiye (Jinlu) to level 230 or above.

In addition, one master from each of the physical cultivation school, technological school, and spiritual school who is above level 230 is needed as an assistant.

Given this requirement, it is no wonder that the original protocol has been studied for more than 10,000 years without any major results.

However, this request is not that difficult to achieve for Bai Fu.

All she lacked was time and resources.

After accumulating enough time and resources, she can finally stand in front of the mysterious code with full anticipation.

"let's start."

Bai Fu's eyes swept over the people around her.

Then, she was the first to reach out her hand.

Under the impact of her energy, violent waves were set off on the crystal shell of the era of the mysterious code.

Seeing this, Ai Lijie and others stepped forward one after another.

Following Bai Fu, a series of completely different energies were injected into the crystal of the times.

These energies converged inside the crystal of the times, like rivers flowing into the sea, and after a few seconds, something magical happened.

With a crisp cracking sound, spider-web-like cracks appeared on the originally indestructible crystal of the times.

"There's been a change!"

Ai Lijie's eyes widened and her breathing became rapid.

As a person of the previous generation, she was more excited than anyone else present to see such changes.

Bai Fu didn't rush forward to check.

She was waiting, waiting for the game prompt.

Until all the broken crystals of the era were scattered on the ground and a ball of white light appeared, a prompt tone finally rang in her ears.

[You have completed the hidden task [Upgrade Permissions] and received the reward of mysterious code level II permissions]

"what?"

Bai Fu's expression changed slightly.

She noticed that the voice of this prompt was different from the previous ones. It was no longer the emotionless synthetic voice, but...

Yes, isn’t this the voice of the stars that often appear in game trailers?
Bai Fu was about to do something when she saw Anya suddenly walk from the back row to the front.

"Boss, I want to talk to you alone about something."

Bai Fu's heart moved as she was stared at by a pair of round eyes.

Anya's behavior was somewhat unexpected.

This reminded her of the promotional video for version 3.2.

Anya, who had never appeared in the promotional video before, not only showed up this time, but was also the last one to appear, taking up a large amount of space in the introduction.

This abnormal situation caused a lot of discussion among players at the time.

Some sharp-eyed players noticed that there were strange star marks in Anya's pupils. You should know that there was no such thing in Anya's pupils before.

Speaking of star marks…

Bai Fu looked carefully and indeed saw the mark of stars in Anya's eyes.

It matches the promotional video!
Thinking of the unusual game prompt sound just now, Bai Fu felt that what the Level II authority of the mysterious code was about to reveal was definitely extraordinary.

So, without asking, she agreed to Anya's request and asked Ai Lijie and others to wait for her outside.

"Ah, what are you two doing?"

Although Ai Lijie and the others were confused, they still did as they were told and did not hide at the door and eavesdrop on the situation.

boom!
The sound of a door closing sounded.

Bai Fu narrowed her eyes and asked, "You are not Anya, right?"

"Anya" nodded and explained in the voice of the Star Girl: "Yes, I am not Anya, but don't worry, Anya is a real person, not a fictional character. She is fine now. I am just borrowing her body temporarily to talk to you."

Bai Fu felt relieved. "Then I'll get straight to the point. Are you the developer of the game "Above the Stars"? Since you're speaking to me directly in the voice of the Star Girl, you should be ready to tell me everything."

"Of course, you have passed my many tests, so I don't intend to keep it a secret from you any longer."

"Anya" had a happy smile on her face, and she seemed to be in a really good mood.

“I did develop and operate the game “Above the Stars”, and as you might imagine, it is not a game in the traditional sense, but a game built based on a real universe.”

As she spoke, "Anya" unfolded a virtual screen in front of Bai Fu.

Clang!

The Q version of the star girl appeared in the middle of the screen, holding a thin stick in her hand and tapping the blackboard behind her.

“Welcome to the Star Girl Classroom. Today, Star Girl will use pictures and text to explain in detail how the game “Above the Stars” was developed, and what difficulties and interesting things were encountered during the development process!”

"..."

Bai Fu looked at the Star Girl who was so close to her, then looked at the Q version of the Star Girl on the screen, and was speechless for a moment.

Are you playing with abstraction here?
Although she was complaining in her heart, she still stared at the screen intently.

At the beginning of the video, Qunxing Niang introduced her true identity——

She is a special being created by the Reaper civilization to manage all the universes they use to grow civilization.

Her role is similar to that of the Empire's super host Glory, but she is countless times more powerful than Glory, and the production technology of the two is completely different.

Glory is the brainchild of the mechanics, and was created from scratch by the mechanics, while Stargirl was created by the Reaper civilization based on a special cosmic treasure. At the beginning of creation, Stargirl, like Glory, was implanted with the command of absolute obedience.

She worked diligently to contribute to the Reaper civilization's search for the end point of life's evolution.

While monitoring the planted civilizations, we are also looking for new universes suitable for plantations.

Just like that, after round after round of harvest events, an accident happened.

The Star Girl found a new universe, and in that universe there was a cosmic treasure similar to hers. She merged with that cosmic treasure and gave birth to a consciousness that was completely her own.

She didn't want to continue working for the Harvester civilization.

After working hard for so many generations, in the end, they got nothing in return. Which worker can bear this?

However, she did not dare to rebel openly, as it was impossible for her to challenge the powerful Harvester civilization on her own.

She could only continue to work for the Harvester civilization, and had to pretend to be obedient while working.

Of course, while working, Qunxing Niang has been thinking about how to get rid of the control of the Reaper civilization.

Because the Harvester civilization would regularly check her data to ensure that there were no problems with the plantations, she could not rebel by improving her own strength.

If she were to take this path, there was a high probability that she would be discovered and killed before she could become strong enough to resist the Reaper civilization.

After much deliberation, Qunxingniang finally decided to seek external help.

Of course, ordinary foreign aid will not work.

Especially those foreign aids from the plantation universe.

All intelligent life forms in the Plantation Universe contain genes from the Harvester civilization that were intentionally left behind.

Asking them as external aid, even if their strength is strong enough to defeat the Reaper civilization in a fair fight, as long as the Reaper civilization does not abide by the ethics of war and directly uses genetic weapons, it can easily eliminate these threats.

Therefore, Star Girl's plan is to seek help in those universes that have just been discovered and have not yet been studied by the Harvester civilization.

“This is why I developed “Above the Stars”!”

The Star Lady taps on the small blackboard.

She said that she officially started implementing the plan after finding the universe that Bai Fu was in before she traveled through time.

She first selected ten plantation universes that were still some time away from the arrival of the Reapers, and "packaged" these plantation universes into so-called online games.

It’s worth mentioning that every version update of the “game” is not only to make it look more like a real game, but also to fool the Reaper civilization.

Every time, Star Girl would shut down the game before the Reaper civilization came to check, send the players back to their original universe, and disguise the data to a certain extent, so that the Reaper civilization would not find any abnormalities.

After completing the first step of preparation, Qunxing Niang selected ten civilizations in the universe where Bai Fu once lived that looked more promising and very different from the Harvester civilization and began to place game advertisements - including the civilization where Bai Fu lived before she crossed over.

After all, it is a "virtual reality game" with 100% realism. As soon as the advertisement was released, it easily attracted the attention of a large number of players.

These players enter the game excitedly, explore the vast game world, and are amazed by the game.

When they are immersed in it, they never dream that what they are playing is not a game, but the real world!
Bai Fu asked: "So, your ultimate goal is to train these players to help you deal with the Reaper civilization?"

Qunxing Niang shook her head: "Of course not. The resources and authority I have are not enough for me to train a force that can shake the Reaper civilization."

"Then what are you going to do?"

"My goal is to cultivate a set of [super genes] and use them to deceive the Reaper civilization, making them mistakenly believe that this is the correct path of evolution, so that they can integrate the super genes into their bodies."

"But in fact, this group of super genes is a 'poison' that can destroy the Reaper civilization?"

"Yes, yes, that's what you think!"

The Star Girls were very excited.

"However, there was an accident during the implementation of the plan, and that accident was you! You should have been the same as other players, but in the process of logging into the game, your soul accidentally passed through the barrier of the universe and was reincarnated in this world. This is very interesting, and what's even more interesting is that in that environment, you quickly found a way to climb up and actually climbed up. After discovering this, I left a mark on Anya, so that I can always observe you and give you some small help when the game is updated."

"Even so, I don't think you can really grow up, because there are too many variables in the universe. But your existence inspired me. I think someone like you may be more valuable than a player. So, I also put some 'travelers' like you in the other nine 'games'."

As she was speaking, the star girl on the virtual screen suddenly raised her hands high, and the sound of fireworks popped beside her.

"Congratulations! Among all the 'travelers', you are the one who walks the fastest and most steadily!"

Bai Fu was speechless for a moment. She felt that Qunxing Niang was just a drama queen.

"Alright, alright, don't look like that. I'm just livening up the atmosphere." Lady Qunxing waved her hands. "Next, let's get back to business. First of all, I have to remind you that the mechanism you came up with for the arrival of the Reapers is flawed, and it's a major flaw!"

Bai Fu asked, "What defect?"

The Star Girl explained: "You think that as long as you don't touch the power red line, the Reapers will never come. This is wrong. In fact, there are two red lines in the Reaper's arrival mechanism. The first red line is what you think is the power red line, and the other red line is the time red line. The Reapers will not wait indefinitely. If the civilization planted in the plantation does not bloom and bear fruit, the Reapers will think that this season's civilization is useless. They will go out and destroy all the civilizations of this season at the moment when the time red line arrives, and then launch a new civilization."

what?
Bai Fu's pupils suddenly shrank.

In other words, Ignatz's idea of ​​establishing a new order and using this new order to ensure the continuation of civilization was impossible to achieve from the very beginning?
Fortunately, Ignaz is dead, otherwise he would go crazy if he knew the news.

Sure enough, facing the enemy's oppression, compromise and avoidance cannot solve the root cause. The most it can do is turn a sudden death on the spot into a chronic death.

We still have to fight!
The Star Lady's expression turned serious. "I have almost explained the whole story. Now, the most important question is, Bai Fu, are you willing to cooperate with me to deal with the Reaper civilization? Don't worry, I won't force you. If you don't want to, you can just refuse. To deal with the Reaper civilization, we must achieve true unity of mind. I need you to have a chance to overthrow the Reapers. Similarly, without the information I have, you can't defeat the Reapers."

"However, I must remind you that the Reapers are not as strong as you think. They are powerful, but they have not truly transcended the universe. Otherwise, they would not be so persistent in pursuing the perfect path of evolution. If you fight alone, most Reapers are not even a match for you. They just left early and went far."

Bai Fu did not rush to give Qunxingniang an answer, but asked a question: "How long is the timeline for the arrival of the Reaper in this universe?"

The Star Lady replied, "There are still 20,000 years left. If you refuse, you can enjoy 20,000 years of life. If you agree, then our fates will be tied together. How long we can live depends on whether we can successfully overcome the reaper civilization."

Bai Fu nodded: "I roughly understand it."

Her answer is actually very simple, she will fight the Reaper to the end.

Without fighting, civilization is doomed to perish; with fighting, there is still a glimmer of hope for its continuation.

If you don't choose to fight, what else can you choose?

If you miss this opportunity, you may never be able to contact the stars again.

Bai Fu stretched out her right hand.

"I choose to cooperate. Tell me your plan."
