"NPCs are regularly refreshed in the ruins of the biological experint laboratory; this is a typical Task NPC."
Bai Fu hurriedly replied to the player reporting back, "Does Cecilia know about this?"
[Not yet, we were worried sothing might happen, so we didn't tell her initially but contacted you, Fufu, right away.]
"Good job."
Bai Fu breathed a sigh of relief.
The intelligence revealed by Didi'er suggested that although Cecilia being parasitized by spiders wasn't an intricately planned sche by the Secret Tower, it was nevertheless vigorously promoted by them. If Cecilia knew she had been working for the very force that turned her into a monster, she might just break down and swear to fight the Secret Tower to the death.
Her power was indeed strong, but it wasn't quite up to taking on the Secret Tower head to head.
"Besides this, did Didi'er know any other secrets of the Secret Tower?" asked Bai Fu.
The player hurriedly replied that there were others, and although many years had passed, Didi'er clearly rembered several nas closely tied to the Secret Tower, which he had overheard unintentionally while serving as the head of the inspection departnt.
Bai Fu opened the list of nas sent by the player.
One na drew her attention.
[Star Network Community - Representative of the Keula Clan, Reynolds]
She had t this person during her first visit to the Star Network's mother star, Bikong Star. He seed like a very kind old man who had even spoken to her, calling her Saintess with genuine affection.
"This Old Man is actually in cahoots with the Secret Tower? Truly, appearances can be deceiving!"
Bai Fu intended to contact Manu to report this imdiately, but on second thought, she dismissed the idea.
Reynolds held a high status within the Star Network, and even if she ca forward to report him, it would be difficult to bring him down without concrete evidence, relying solely on the word of Didi'er, the madman. If she couldn't bring down Reynolds, the report would just serve as a scare, effectively tipping him off.
Her goal wasn't to help the Star Network weed out traitors but to extract more information about the Secret Tower through Reynolds, especially regarding the whereabouts of their original samples.
"It seems so underhand and forceful asures are called for."
Bai Fu clenched her fist, directing the player who found Didi'er to hide him for the ti being, and not to tell Cecilia of his existence yet.
[What if Cecilia suddenly asks about it?] This text was acquired from *.
The player was sowhat worried.
"Don't worry, her attention will soon be diverted from this."
Bai Fu was full of confidence.
After comforting the player, she took a selfie of Fei Ye and sent it to Cecilia.
[How does it feel?]
The mont Cecilia saw the photo, she blushed.
How did it feel?
She could only say it was excellent material for casting a spell, making her fingers itch to swirl around.
Cecilia: [Gorgeous!]
Bai Fu: [I'm not asking if you find it pretty, I'm asking if you've noticed any changes in my body.]
Changes?
Cecilia looked from left to right but couldn't see anything different from the last ti she had been up close, although she did notice changes in her own body.
[Forget it, I won't play coy with you any longer, I've advanced to S level, just wanted to share the good news with you, and by the way, I need your help for sothing, co to .]
Okay, okay, coming, I'm on my way!
Setting aside the search for Didi'er for the mont, Cecilia made it to the Star Contract Initial Gate Star System branch in just three and a half days.
"Cough... The reason I called you here is actually to ask for a favor."
Bai Fu explained the situation with Reynolds, ntioning only that she got the information from an informant whose na she couldn't disclose.
"You want to kidnap him?"
Bai Fu shook her head, "No, I'll handle it personally. I'm mostly worried that there might be Secret Tower experts hiding by his side. I've asked you here just in case. Rest assured, I'll pay the commission fee."
Cecilia glanced at Fei Ye standing beside her, then, without saying much, nodded her head.
"Since you have no objections, let's take action imdiately."
Bai Fu did not want to waste ti.
The Secret Tower's experints using players and the insects they created made her uneasy. After several setbacks, she felt that the Secret Tower might be preparing a big move.
Half an hour later, Bai Fu, accompanied by thousands of players and with Cecilia, Julia, Fei Ye, An Ya, and the Dark Domain Clan Insect Queen, rushed to Bikong Star at full speed.
Bringing An Ya along was because she was an A-level Spiritual Ability User with an advantage in interrogation.
Traveling from the Star Contract Branch to Bikong Star required crossing over two star systems, taking a total of eleven days. Throughout the journey, news kept reporting on the Secret Tower's actions. Although there was no large-scale assault on the Initial Gate again, the Secret Tower's small-scale harassnt never ceased, annoying the various civilizations of the Initial Gate Star System to no end.
Bai Fu felt that if things continued this way, the conflict between the Secret Tower and the Initial Gate Star System might end before the opening of version 2.0, and other new players entering the Starry Sky would lant—
[Where's my main task? What happened to my big main task?]
This was good news for her.
Unable to find other main tasks, players would eventually place their hopes on her, suspected to be related to the main task.
Eleven days later.
The spaceship smoothly arrived at Bikong Star.
As the mother star of the Star Network, Bikong's security asures were extrely stringent. Bai Fu hadn't even disembarked when she was recognized.
"Why didn't you tell in advance that you were coming to Bikong Star?" The phantom of Manu erged inside the spaceship, her voice tinged with a hint of complaint.
Bai Fu smiled and made stuff up, "I was just passing by Bikong Star on a commission and thought I'd drop by to see how you're all doing. How have things been lately?"
"Don't even ntion it." Manu couldn't help but vent, with every third sentence cursing the Secret Tower, "I've been so busy for nearly three months without a break."
