Therefore, in Elon's plan, it was the Blessing Sect that was responsible for drawing the Secret Tower's attention, while Bai Fu was tasked with infiltrating the base to steal the True Spirit Pillar.
In his own words, Bai Fu was powerful enough to deal with various unexpected situations.
Considering the great risk of infiltrating the base, in order to persuade Bai Fu, Elon offered a fairly high stake.
"Three million plus a set of Blessing class Prayer Card Blueprints!"
Bai Fu looked at the task interface that popped up in front of her.
Three million?
That was no small sum.
A set of Blessing class Prayer Card Blueprints?
These Prayer Cards weren't very useful to her, who was very close to the Catastrophe Level, but if sold to players or other NPCs, they would be a money-making tool.
Aside from the rewards Elon proposed, the ga would also grant her ten million Experience points upon completion of the task.
After so thought, Bai Fu accepted the task.
Judging from the amount of Experience Value, the difficulty of the task wasn't great.
In that case, why not play along with the Blessing Sect and take the opportunity to take a swipe at the Secret Tower to boot.
The only problem was that the task couldn't be delayed; if it took too long, the ga's update ti would arrive, players would be forced to go offline, and then her plan to have players do tasks to earn so Experience, which she would then squeeze out of them, would fall through.
Elon asked, "Ready to move at any ti? Then let's set it for the day after tomorrow, we still need to make so preparations."
Bai Fu had no objections, "That's fine."
With the eting over, Bai Fu and Fei Ye left the conference room and, after being sent to their guest rooms, Suixi returned to the laboratory. At this ti, the Pope and Elon hadn't left either, but were waiting for Suixi's return.
Bang!
The mont the door closed again, Elon placed a tallic sphere on the table, soft white light emanating from the tal sphere, enveloping the entire room.
This tallic sphere could effectively prevent outsiders from prying, and it was extrely effective.
"Bai Fu has accepted the commission; we can contact that Lord to prepare on their side."
Suixi found a chair to sit down indifferently.
Elon said, "Don't worry, I've already sent the minutes of the eting just now. That Lord said everything would be ready within two days. Now it's our showti. I believe that as long as we can successfully attract the Secret Tower's attention, with Bai Fu's strength, she can easily infiltrate the base and get that fake True Spirit Pillar, and then..."
He paused, smiling.
"Just by seeing how Bai Fu handles that fake True Spirit Pillar, we'll know if she is here on the Oath Lord's orders to find the True Spirit Pillar."
Suixi nodded.
Not long ago, she had received an order from the backing of the Blessing Sect to clarify the relationship between Bai Fu and the Oath Lord and to see if Bai Fu was really, as the rumor said, following the Oath Lord's command to seize the True Spirit Pillar in the Initial Gate Star System Group.
However, Bai Fu was constantly on the move, first performing on Xiu Dun Star with her physical body bearing the brunt of spaceship cannons, and then teaming up with Fei Ye on Red Ring Star to take down a Catastrophe Level of the Secret Tower.
Bai Fu's power was utterly beyond expectations, and the thod of getting close to Bai Fu to make use of her ability to fish for information from her was very unlikely to work.
Left with no choice, they had to think of another way, and the thod they ca up with at this mont was to deliberately set a bait to test Bai Fu.
The Secret Tower's base was a real base, but there was no True Spirit Pillar in that base. The so-called True Spirit Pillar was a fake pillar that they had commissioned that Lord to secretly place there.
The fake pillar had been marked in a special way. Once Bai Fu obtained the fake pillar, just by seeing how she handled the fake pillar, they would know whether she had any connection with the Oath Lord.
If there was no connection, then they could continue to cooperate with Bai Fu and use her power to take the True Spirit Pillar from Secret Tower.
If there was a connection, things would get tricky—an intervention by a Super Supre Level would make the situation completely uncontrollable.
...
During the two days while the Blessing Sect was making preparations, Bai Fu was far from idle, spending her days either playing cards with Fei Ye or conducting experints in the spaceship's lab with Julia.
Actually, with Julia's Spiritual Ability Recovery Speed, even if Bai Fu were to lay on Julia twenty-four hours a day to extract her Spiritual Energy to stack the layers of Apostle's Heart on herself, she could not possibly dry Julia out.
But machinery wears out, and so does Julia, right?
It's still necessary to give Julia so rest, otherwise, if they accidentally break Julia in the process, that would really be a headache.
Two days later.
The Blessing Sect was ready, and the group drove the spaceship straight to the Secret Tower's base.
Upon reaching their destination, Bai Fu took the initiative to hand over all the players she brought to Elon's command.
Her task was to infiltrate the inside of the base, so she definitely couldn't act with the players. It was better to let the players earn so Experience following Elon. With so many players to support them, the success rate of the Blessing Sect's operation to attract the Secret Tower's attention would be higher.
Once everything was ready, both parties imdiately sprang into action.
Seeing the Blessing Sect knocking on their door, the people inside the Secret Tower base hurriedly contacted the headquarters for reinforcents.
Rescue?
Fuck that!
The most important task at hand was to deal with Bai Fu and the Blessing Sect; all other matters had to be put on hold.
"We don't need that base anymore, retreat imdiately!" the Housekeeper issued the order.
"Yes."
The reaction of the Secret Tower base completely dumbfounded Bai Fu, who was ready to infiltrate.
Were they preparing to co out in full force and beat up the Blessing Sect? Was the Blessing Sect's ability to attract hate really that strong?
Soon she realized sothing was off.
Because she had already breached the base's core area, and still, no one had turned back to give her trouble.
"What are they doing?"
Bai Fu was deeply puzzled; she shook her head and looked at the "True Spirit Pillar" that had appeared in her line of sight.
She had seen the real True Spirit Pillar, so she imdiately sensed there was sothing wrong with this one. After casting a Spiritual Vision, the situation was as expected.
[Fake True Spirit Pillar]
Whatever, real or fake, as long as she handed the item over to the Blessing Sect, the task would be considered complete.
Bai Fu placed the fake pillar into the container provided by the Blessing Sect and then began her retreat. Halfway through, the Secret Tower finally noticed her.
"Fuck, it's Bai Fu!"
"Run, run, run!"
The people inside the base turned pale with fright.
Apart from so individuals at the headquarters, most mbers of the Secret Tower had been so beaten down by Bai Fu after the battles at Xiu Dun Star and Red Ring Star that hardly anyone dared to confront her directly. Not to ntion confrontation, they didn't even dare to make eye contact.
Morale was broken.
Precisely for this reason, the Housekeeper and the Secret Tower Master were prepared to take a desperate final stand.
If they won, they could kill Bai Fu and obtain the True Spirit Pillar from the Blessing Sect, which would allow the Secret Tower to make a miraculous coback.
If they lost, even without external threats, most of the peripheral mbers of the Secret Tower would likely leave the organization and flee.
For the Housekeeper and the Secret Tower Master, the Secret Tower had reached a life-or-death situation!
"Bai Fu, it's her again!"
After receiving the urgent ssage from the base, the Housekeeper's face turned ashen.
Even as composed as he was, he couldn't keep calm any longer. He had to kill Bai Fu, he absolutely had to kill Bai Fu, even if it ant a mutual destruction!!!
"Initiate the plan, release the bait."
On the other side, watching the Secret Tower mbers flee in panic, Bai Fu frowned.
The situation was a bit troubleso.
The Secret Tower seed a bit too afraid of her. Looking at the circumstances, if the Secret Tower knew she had advanced to Catastrophe Level, they would probably start avoiding her completely. How would she continue to earn contribution by eliminating the Secret Tower?
It seed she needed to keep a low profile for a while.
After flashing out using the Prophet's mark, Bai Fu handed over the fake pillar to Elon.
Elon expressed his gratitude repeatedly and secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
It seed that Bai Fu's relationship with the Oath Lord wasn't as rumored, which made things easier.
"Pleasure working with you!"
They exchanged friendly goodbyes and went their separate ways.
Back at the branch, Bai Fu declined all commissions and focused on stacking levels. Two days before the 1.5 version update, she finally stacked the Apostle's Heart to the fifth layer.
Her Basic Inspiration had risen to 2013 points, fully eting the awakening conditions. She could ascend to Catastrophe Level whenever she wished.
"Finally, before all players fully enter the Star Sea, I have the power to step off the chessboard."
Bai Fu didn't rush to awaken; she planned to give the Secret Tower a surprise.
Just like that, the two days passed quietly, and when the clock struck midnight, the 1.5 version's maintenance update arrived.
