After speaking with the players, Bai Fu once again approached the Void Battle Maiden, "They've agreed too."
The Void Battle Maiden was overjoyed, feeling like she had stumbled upon a priceless treasure, "From now on, we are companions. Stop calling me by my nickname, my true name is Fei Ye. Just call me Fei Ye from now on."
Bai Fu nodded, "My true name is Bai Fu."
"Next, I'll go with you to Ulysses. A trip there should suffice to dissuade many from targeting Ulysses for the time being," Fei Ye said.
Bai Fu had no objections; this way, she wouldn't have to split her attention to watch over Ulysses anymore, and Vic's loyalty as the main character would also significantly increase.
Watching the two ultimately not coming to blows and even chatting and laughing, Mountain Opener finally mustered the courage to approach.
"I... I have nothing more. I'm just here to make the payment. Take it, I'm going to head off now."
After completing the transfer, Mountain Opener ran off like a shot, worried that if he lingered any longer, some mishap might occur.
At this time, Bai Fu officially received the notification that the task was complete.
[You have completed the hidden task 'Dissociative Potion', receiving a reward of 3 million experience value and the skill 'Flying Demon Blade'.]
[You have completed the hidden task 'Dark Tide Swelling', receiving a reward of 3 million experience points and 30,000 credit points.]
Because she had increased Fei Ye's affinity to over 20 during the task, the 'Dark Tide Swelling' task also awarded her a hidden reward: the blueprint for a 'Prayer Card Fabricator', the utility of which was evident from its name.
Bai Fu hadn't expected such a pleasant surprise. With this, her efficiency in crafting prayer cards would greatly increase.
'Flying Demon Blade' was an excellent active attack skill. Once activated, it would summon high-speed spinning blades of spiritual energy around the body, with the number determined by the skill level.
Bai Fu had initially raised this skill to Lv10, which allowed her to summon up to ten blades, combining both cool appearance and lethality.
"Excellent, once my relationship with Fei Ye improves further, I could ask her to lend me a large spaceship to go back to Ancestral Origin Star and bring people over."
This task had truly been a windfall.
Bai Fu found herself looking forward to the future where tens of thousands of players would work for her in the Star Sea.
As she prepared to leave the blasted ruins of Singularity Company, she called to Fei Ye and Green Mud.
"I have two companions nearby waiting for me."
A few minutes later, having received the message, An Ya and Julia landed the spaceship.
Upon seeing Fei Ye, An Ya's gaze immediately turned vigilant. Her eyes tracked from Fei Ye's exposed toes up to her flaming pink hair.
Damn, another dangerous person was getting close to Boss Fufu!
Compared to the wary An Ya, Julia was much more composed.
Unless an opponent was unimaginably strong, there was no need for concern with her and Bai Fu's partnership, which was tightly integrated in both ability and spirit. Julia was content to just sit back and watch.
About two hours after Bai Fu and Fei Ye's spaceship had sailed into deep space, an unremarkable man appeared outside the wrecked Singularity Company.
Even though it was midnight, the ruins of Singularity Company were bustling, with a horde of miscreants from all directions "treasure hunting."
He teleported to the secret laboratory that Bai Fu had unearthed, waved his hand, and one of the miscreants rummaging around was sucked over; he grabbed the villain by the neck.
"Where did the stuff inside go?"
Silver radiance burst from his eyes, piercing into the thug's brain like silk threads. As the body trembled, the thug spilled everything he knew.
Having obtained the information he wanted, the man crushed the thug's neck in his hand, then opened his communicator.
"The parent sample of the potion has been lost, falling into the hands of Dark Moon of the Dark Moon Tide Company."
"The parent sample itself isn't a big threat, but if they discover our true motive behind the parent sample research... it would have a terrible impact on our Secret Tower. Find a way to get the parent sample back!"
A sharp glint flashed in the man's eyes.
