After a dozen seconds, Bai Fu followed the Void Battle Maiden to a place away from the crowd.
The Void Battle Maiden spoke with a calm expression, "I won't beat around the bush with you. I'm here to talk about your subordinates. Their courage is rarely seen in this world, and I admire them. I don't think they should be treated as expendables, sent on pointless missions like crashing spaceships into things. How about we make a deal? If you're willing to persuade them to join the Star Contract, I can offer you a substantial amount of money."
Oh, I knew it. You have ulterior motives, you wicked woman, trying to bully me yet again!
As Bai Fu urgently pondered her response, Green Mud suddenly emerged from a nearby sewer.
"Supervisor, your old habits are flaring up again."
His eyes were full of complaints, and under his gaze, the previously assertive Void Battle Maiden somewhat guiltily responded, "This isn't an 'old habit,' I think it's a win-win-win situation. I'm offering money, her subordinates will get a chance to shine on a broader stage, and I will gain some brave and loyal followers."
Green Mud made no commitment and instead turned to Bai Fu, "The Supervisor has always admired courageous people. Your subordinates are very special. They are not only brave but also exceedingly loyal, which is why she wants to recruit them. But rest assured, the Supervisor isn't the kind of person who likes to throw her weight around..."
He went on to give an example.
Not long ago, one of the Void Battle Maiden's subordinates went missing, and after an investigation, she found out that the person had been captured by the Singularity Company. Initially, she planned to demand that Singularity Company hand over the person, but she feared they would deny everything.
She was concerned not about her own reputation, but that people might develop a negative view of the Star Contract because of her actions.
Therefore, after much deliberation, she abandoned the idea of directly confronting Singularity Company and instead disguised herself as a Hunter, planning to infiltrate Singularity Company to investigate personally. Once she found the missing person, she could deal with Singularity Company righteously.
"Miss Silver Moon, the Supervisor's attitude may have been inappropriate, and I apologize on her behalf. Regarding the deal she just proposed, you might consider it; there's no issue even if you refuse. I assure you the Supervisor won't hold any grudges. She isn't that kind of person."
While Green Mud was speaking, the Void Battle Maiden frowned, clearly displeased, but she only managed to mutter despondently after a long pause, "Green Mud is right."
Bai Fu's eyelid twitched.
Why did she feel that this Void Battle Maiden was somewhat naive? Could she also be aiming for the Oscar like the rest of the little golden men?
Her mind flickered. Whether the Void Battle Maiden and Green Mud were acting or not, she was hooked by the drama!
"I think you might be misunderstanding my relationship with these heroes. They are not expendables, but my closest comrades. No, more precisely, they are a beam of light that appeared in my world when I was in the darkest pit of my life!"
As she spoke, Bai Fu suddenly removed her helmet from her Spiritual Ability Construction, clasping her hands as if solemnly praying.
The Void Battle Maiden was bewildered by this sudden act.
Heroes, comrades, a beam of light?
Wait, then why do you let them go to their deaths? Is this how one treats their benefactors?
Bai Fu shook her head and sighed, "I know you don't believe it, but this is the truth. To explain this, it involves a huge secret that I originally didn't want to reveal. But after what happened with Ulysses Star, this secret would come out eventually, maybe in ten days, or a month or two at most. So, I'll just quietly reveal it to you now, but you have to promise not to tell anyone right now."
The Void Battle Maiden replied, "I promise, go ahead."
Bai Fu slowly stated, "Actually, the heroes possess Resurrection Ability."
"What?!" The Void Battle Maiden was shocked, "You mean they all..."
Bai Fu nodded gravely, "Yes."
The Void Battle Maiden's mind was in turmoil. Superpowers like resurrection were not unheard of, but for nearly a hundred people to all have Resurrection Ability was quite exaggerated.
"I know it's hard to believe, but that's the truth. If you don't believe me, you can ask them yourselves," Bai Fu suggested.
The Void Battle Maiden slowly calmed her agitated heart. This revelation could explain why the "heroes" obediently followed Silver Moon's orders to pilot the spaceship to crash into Broom. But there was still one thing she couldn't understand—why were the "heroes" so loyal to Bai Fu?
Soon, Bai Fu provided the answer.
"My bond with these 'heroes' started with a chance encounter... I was born in the Star Sea, but due to an accident, I landed on the planet where the 'heroes' lived. Back then, I was destitute. One day..."
Bai Fu beautified the process of her exploiting the players into a mutually supportive relationship. They fought bugs and Wanderers together, and in the end, under their intensely thrilling Combination Skill, all the evil forces on the Ancestral Origin Star fell, and they established a new order on the ruins.
"I found myself again on that planet and made many good friends. Thus, on the day I left, I firmly resolved that I must find a way to restore that planet in the vast Star Sea. When these 'heroes' heard my plan, they resolved to follow me into the Star Sea to search together. They... really, ah..."
Gratitude and joy blended on Bai Fu's face, along with a barely suppressed urge to cry.
This rich array of emotions instantly made the Void Battle Maiden inhale sharply.
