The battle had ended, but the noise still continued.
Outside the player base, in an abandoned house, the Director of External Affairs sat expressionlessly on a broken wall.
"Tell me, what's going on with you?"
"Director, here's what happened..."
Bai Fu repeated the reason she had given to the injured player not long ago.
"If it weren't for your overwhelming assault that kept those outsiders busy, I would have died at their hands."
The injured player that Bai Fu had saved hastily came out to corroborate her story, "Yes, yes, it was so dangerous, I'm lucky Bai Fu woke up in time. Otherwise, with my injuries, I probably would have fallen there tonight."
The Director of External Affairs pinched the bridge of his nose.
He had to admit that Bai Fu's luck was really good. She didn't die—could this be what they call 'dumb luck'?
Cao Wenliang must be furious when he hears of this.
Forget it, it's none of his damn business, and he didn't want to get involved any further.
He had done everything he could, so how could Bai Fu's survival be his fault?
The Director of External Affairs was now seething with anger.
Would he have ended up so bedraggled if Cao Wenliang hadn't insisted on using this operation to eliminate Bai Fu?
Think about it, if the operation hadn't targeted Bai Fu, they could have launched a surprise attack completely unbeknownst to those outsiders.
Those outsiders may not fear death, but without preparing traps in advance, they couldn't withstand even one of their charges.
Now look, although they killed dozens of outsiders, they also lost half of their own, and the Director of External Affairs didn't dare to think about how the boss would look at him when he returned.
"Damn Cao Wenliang to hell!"
This time, he must harshly cut ties with Cao Wenliang.
When the boss asks, he'll just say he had no idea, and that it was those four people arranged by Cao Wenliang who did it on their own.
If Cao Wenliang didn't want to make an enemy of him too, he'd better not bark.
Thinking this, the Director of External Affairs let out a small sigh of relief.
"Let's head back."
As for those who abandoned him and ran away, he had no intention of letting them off.
And about Bai Fu...
The Director of External Affairs glanced at Bai Fu's innocent eyes.
This simpleton had already won the boss's favor, and after what happened tonight, the boss would surely value her even more. Even if it wasn't flattering, it was always right to build a good relationship in advance.
The three of them limped their way toward the Wildfire Gang.
No one spoke. Bai Fu was happy for the quiet, and as she walked, she received a game prompt.
[You have completed the Camp Task 'Counter Strike', Contribution 0.3%, reward gained: 60 Experience Value]
Bai Fu: "..."
Her lips twitched upon hearing the prompt.
60 Experience?
Fine, even a mosquito's meat has its good, but strictly speaking, her Contribution during this Camp Task was definitely negative; she actually owed the Camp Task several thousand Experience.
Bai Fu casually closed the game prompt and suddenly noticed there was another new prompt following it.
[You are ranked first in Contribution, gaining an additional reward: 3000 Experience and the special Title 'Wildfire']
[Wildfire]: Life Value extra +30
3000 Experience wasn't enough for her to level up Spiritual Ability Apprentice, but it was more than enough to level up Unemployed from Lv3 to Lv5.
The value of the extra 30 Life Value wasn't as good as 3 points of Constitution, but an increase in Life Value was always welcome; it meant her ability to survive had grown stronger.
Bai Fu was taken aback.
Such an unexpected blessing?
Thinking carefully about it, it seemed there was absolutely nothing wrong with the situation. Never mind that her Contribution to the Task was 0.3%, even if it was 0% or even -100%, since she was the only person who took the [Task], you could say she was first place!
Is this the joy of being the only one in the entire camp?
Bai Fu quickly covered her mouth to prevent the corners from curling up too much, attracting the attention of the two men ahead.
She was right in deciding to stay with the Wildfire Gang and pretend to be an undercover agent.
Had she disassociated with the Wildfire Gang as soon as she woke up, how could she enjoy the Camp Task rewards as she did now?
Speaking of which, the trigger for this Camp Task was deeply connected to her; without taking Martin out, although the relationship between the players and the Wildfire Gang was already bad, there was still a way to go from fighting as fiercely as they did.
If something had happened in the meantime, some players might still have chosen to join the Wildfire Gang camp, which would have made things even more unpredictable.
Now, there was only one sentiment in Bai Fu's mind—
Ecstatic!
After capturing players and exploding for Experience, she had found a new fast track to leveling up.
That was to encourage the Wildfire Gang to keep hitting the players hard and then trigger new Camp Tasks to enjoy the extra rewards.
"Players are just too awesome!"
Bai Fu felt that if the Dragon of Catastrophe used its Reconnaissance Skill on her at this moment, it would definitely find her Affinity had increased again.
Who wouldn't like thick and plentiful chives that willingly cut themselves up and came knocking on one's door?
Players' support, the money in their pockets, and the Experience on their backs—she wanted it all!
Bai Fu wasn't worried at all about her character setting blowing up.
After all, there weren't any players in the Wildfire Gang now; who would know what she had done? By the time she sends news to the players again like she did today, wouldn't players' Affinity continue to rise steadily?
The only problem was that the players' power was still not strong enough.
If the Wildfire Gang continued to intensify their attacks, they really might not be able to hold on; she needed to think of a way to enhance their power.
"I've got it!"
Weren't some of the players already close to reaching level 5 and in need of learning a new Profession?
