"Could it be that she's going to the slave market to demand Ulyssians from the slave traders?"
Driven by curiosity, quite a few people steeled their nerves and followed to join in the excitement.
The boss, under Black Fu's stare, sweated as if small water pipes were installed all over his body; he, like everyone else, thought Black Fu was here to cause trouble.
His backing was strong, but when facing someone as ruthless and life-disregarding as Silver Moon, what good was his powerful support? The slightest slip-up and he'd be chopped into bits before his backers could arrive.
Out of this fear, the boss desperately offered all kinds of attentive services.
Moving chairs, serving food and drink, personally fanning Black Fu on the side; when he saw a robot trying to take his job, he kicked it away without a second thought. If not for fear that Black Fu would dislike it, he would have been ready to prostrate and kiss the tips of Black Fu's shoes.
What you call a queen-like treatment.
Players from the Fu Sect watched and commented that the boss had no shame — let go of Fufu, I'll do it myself!
Black Fu sat calmly for a while, "Relax, I'm not here to trouble you. There's no need to be afraid of me. After all, I'm not some 'demon,' am I? Today, I actually came to do business with you."
You say you're not a demon, you think I believe that?
Suppressing his fear, the boss inquired about the business Black Fu wanted to do, and without beating around the bush, she said, "I have a group of people I want to sell to you. Name your price."
"Ah, people? What people?"
"The very slave traders who tried to kill me on Ulysses. Though they wanted me dead, I'm always kind-hearted and can't bear too much slaughter. So, I thought, why not just sell them? That way, I get my compensation, and they stay alive. It's a win-win."
All the surrounding NPCs were dumbfounded.
Selling slave traders? Is this something a normal person would do? And you call this a win-win?
Your kind-heartedness my ass, most demons aren't as terrifying as you!
The boss was extremely scared.
He was very grateful that he had immediately sought to please Black Fu upon seeing her; otherwise, he might have been seized and sold next door by now.
The boss quickly agreed, "Okay, I'll buy, but I need to see the people first to give an estimate. What do you say?"
Black Fu had no objections.
The transaction went very smoothly, the boss she had intimidated for half a day didn't dare to haggle and honestly paid her 520,000 Credit Points.
After getting the money, she took out a part to share with the helpful players and Vic, leaving herself with 400,000 Credit Points, instantly going from a pauper of the Star Sea to a little rich woman.
Had she not feared arousing public outrage, she would have wanted to catch more slave traders to sell.
Just as Black Fu was gleefully gathering information about Singularity Company, the events that took place on Harvest Star had reached Singularity Company's ears.
A day earlier, they had received news of Broom and others meeting their grisly end. Combining this with the recent messages, they had only one thought —
"What the hell kind of person is she, some kind of abstract hardcore character?"
The higher-ups of Singularity Company gathered for a meeting.
The more they discussed, the more absurd they found Silver Moon to be. To kill Broom, Silver Moon had her subordinates pilot a spaceship to go down with him. Did her subordinates have no personal agendas? How could they obediently follow her around everywhere? Either her minions were masochists, happier the more they were abused, or she, like those enchantresses, possessed some special charm techniques.
Damn, such a boss along with such subordinates together was just too terrifying.
"First, let's investigate her background to see if she truly possesses charm abilities."
They didn't act rashly, nor did they seek help from their own supporters. Capturing Ulyssians was a task given by their supporters; if they asked for help every time they ran into trouble, wouldn't that show they were useless?
Within the Star Network Community territory, Bai Fu, who had just registered her private armed company, browsed through the information on Singularity Company that Black Fu had just acquired.
Numerous reports showed that Singularity Company employed thousands, with the strongest among them, a man named Jai, merely a peak-level A Wizard. This gave her some relief, since even if Singularity Company launched a full assault against her, she might not be able to beat them, but escaping would still be easy.
However, the powers involved with Singularity Company were a bit troublesome — three Pirate Groups, including the Dead Line Pirate Group closely associated with the Molten Rock she encountered when she first came to the Star Sea, almost as strong as Stone Crystal Company.
Apart from the Pirate Groups, it seemed that Singularity Company also had connections with a mysterious organization.
Bai Fu suspected that this organization was closely linked to the Genetic Optimization Potion.
"These past few days, Singularity Company hasn't troubled me. They must have been scared by me and are still discussing strategies. But if it drags on, they will definitely continue to attack Ulysses."
She had to resolve this trouble quickly.
Bai Fu glanced at her newfound Credit Points, it was time to pay to get stronger!
Ten minutes later, at a nearby trade center, the newly-rich Bai Fu spent 130,000 Credit Points in one go to purchase four pieces of Advanced Knowledge —
"Spiritual Ability Precise Control," "Spiritual Ability Conversion," "Advanced Summoning Theory," "Spiritual Ability Amplification Theory."
These four pieces of Advanced Knowledge brought her three new Skills and two new Blueprints.
[You have comprehended the new Skill [Basic Spiritual Ability Precise Control], [Darkness Unbound], [Summon · Legion]]
[You have comprehended the new Prayer Card Blueprints [Summon Gunners!], [Wise State]]
[Basic Spiritual Ability Precise Control Lv1] reduces Spiritual Energy consumption by 5%, and damage caused by Spiritual Abilities to allies by 10%. Julia has the complete version of this Skill, which causes no harm to teammates, something Bai Fu has coveted for a long time.
