"Let Bai Fu live a few more days," they said, "let our guys play around with the Intelligence Bureau, and when the time comes, we'll send Bai Fu off!"
The leader of the Combat Department promptly agreed.
The Chairman sneered, a little minion thinking he could turn the heavens upside down?
Bai Fu waited an entire day.
During this period, because Digging Girl hadn't seen her for almost two days, many on the forums thought she had run into trouble. Bai Fu specially sent someone to tell Digging Girl she was fine, just facing some minor hassles. Little did she expect that this small gesture would spark intense discussion among players, many of whom felt there must be a profound reason behind her actions.
"What, Fufu ran into trouble?"
"There's nothing to make such a fuss about, if Fufu didn't have any trouble, where would our chance to shine come from?"
"Digging Girl is only level 9 now, there's still a long way to go before unlocking Advanced Professions."
"If I remember correctly, the tasks in this game dynamically change, unlike other games where you can take on a task and drag it out before completing it. That last scene clearly was urging Digging Girl to level up quickly; if she levels up too slowly, she might miss out on subsequent tasks."
"Suddenly rushing to urge her, Fufu wouldn't be in trouble, right?"
"Judging by Fufu's tone of voice when she spoke to Digging Girl earlier, it probably isn't that serious."
"Her tone doesn't explain anything, maybe Fufu is just trying to seem relaxed so we don't worry. Don't forget, Fufu is still injured, I don't believe that injury doesn't affect her at all."
These words made a bunch of players anxious, hating their inability to go to Lynn, even if they wanted to help.
They were no longer jealous of Patrick and others who were about to arrive at Lynn, instead continuously tagging Patrick and the rest in the forums, urging them to quickly increase their power when they got to Lynn and then check what trouble Bai Fu was really in.
After receiving the messages, Patrick and his group became more somber.
They were anxious, but leveling up wasn't something they could do just by saying so. They were completely in the dark about Lynn and could only hope they would unlock Advanced Professions before the deadline and trigger new tasks. Who knows if there would be another chance to activate tasks related to Bai Fu after this one?
With an urgent mood, as soon as the vehicle arrived at Lynn Station, Devotees of Fu sprang into action.
"Let's split up and familiarize ourselves with the situation in Lynn, see if we can find some experience farming tasks. If we don't find anything, we can meet up and look for Digging Girl, how does that sound?"
"I have no problem with that."
The suggestion from Devotees of Fu was unanimously approved.
After splitting up with the other players, he started his live stream.
He had no interest in live streaming, his gameplay was for his own enjoyment, and he had no intention of sharing that joy with others. But he considered himself a rookie when it came to finding tasks, so he felt it necessary to take viewers' opinions into consideration.
There was crowd funding for writing novels in the past, now there's crowd funding for playing games, very reasonable!
As soon as Devotees of Fu started streaming, a large group of players poured in. Bai Fu also rushed over after seeing the news on the forum.
Since she was idle anyway, it was better to observe the actions of these players, so she could better handle them the next time they met.
Eight o'clock in the evening.
"I'm currently level 8, and to unlock Advanced Professions in a short time, I still need over 37,000 Experience, to be honest, the pressure is huge."
"At the Abandoned Cooling Factory, I could team up with other players to farm Amoebas, but there are hardly any players here. Team farming is certainly not viable, so now I can only look for some fetch tasks."
"The best would be those that reward both experience and money. Only by earning money can I buy advanced weapons and food. The hunger system in this game is too realistic—if your stomach is empty, it leads to attribute degradation, or even death by starvation, and that would be a total waste."
Devotees of Fu roamed the streets of Lynn, talking about the problems he faced.
With suggestions from viewers in his live stream, he managed to trigger several unindicated Hidden Tasks one after another, but, regrettably, after bustling around for an hour, he only gathered a little over a thousand Experience points and a few dozen Credit Coins.
At this rate, who knows when he could accumulate enough Experience. Maybe it would take four or five days. But would it still be possible to trigger Bai Fu's Task after four or five days?
Devotees of Fu felt the need to change his strategy. It seemed he had to do some hardcore, ruthless jobs.
First, get some money, then spend it on Equipment, and either level up by hunting monsters or take on monster hunting tasks.
Devotees of Fu quickly dismissed the idea.
Firstly, he didn't have the right weapons, and secondly, Lynn was different from the Abandoned Cooling Factory. This place was a large settlement directly controlled by Genetic Primordials, not only filled with intelligence all around but also policed by violent institutions like the police.
If he dared to rob a bank now, then he really would be a dung beetle looking for dung—courting disaster.
Even if he wasn't killed on the spot, he would be arrested and thrown into a detention center.
With bank robbery out of the question, and no knowledge of how to counterfeit currency, what else could he do? Become a con artist, mercenary, Assassin, or something else?
Devotees of Fu was in a quandary.
As he walked, he saw someone laughing merrily as they stepped out onto the street.
"Ha ha, I've got money now, I'm sure to make a comeback!"
Well, there it was—a gambling addict, perhaps?
