Walking through a narrow alley cluttered with sundry items, Bai Fu stopped in front of a three-story building that was drafty all over.
This was the stronghold of Old Man, the debtor.
She had been here before, so even though her hair color had changed, the doorman still recognized her at a glance.
"It's trouble!" The doorman exclaimed and then turned to run inside the building, "Boss, that woman is here again to cause trouble!"
"That woman?"
Successive grating noises of chairs and tables being moved came from inside the room.
Moments later, a tall man with a scar on his forehead came out.
Bai Fu promptly used the "Spiritual Vision" skill on him.
The skill judgement was successful, but due to the level difference, the information displayed wasn't comprehensive.
[Name]: Big Brother Dabiao (Elite)
[Template]: Ordinary
[Main Profession]: ?Lv6
[Secondary Profession]: None
[Life Value]: 107/110
[Attribute]: ?
[Skills]: Overpowering Lv2, ?
[Talent]: ?
[Affinity]: Hostility (?)
[Danger Level]: Yellow
Seeing this, Bai Fu was relieved.
This was just as she expected.
"In the Stars Above," the target's danger level is divided into five categories: green, blue, yellow, red, and black.
Yellow meant that Big Brother Dabiao was only slightly stronger than her. Even if she went straight for Big Brother Dabiao's ancestors, stirring him into a state of Blood Fury, she could hold on until players came to the rescue.
"Is it you?"
Big Brother Dabiao furrowed his brow; he recognized Bai Fu as well.
"I've told you already, if you're after money, there's none; if you're after a life, there's one. Do you have a death wish to dare come here again?"
Bai Fu remained very calm, "Don't rush. I'm not here to cause you trouble."
"Then what are you here for?"
The scar on Big Brother Dabiao's forehead twitched.
Like I'd believe you!
Bai Fu pointed off into the distance: "You've caught the attention of outsiders. They're out there right now."
"Outsiders?"
Big Brother Dabiao was greatly surprised and quickly rushed upstairs with four underlings.
Looking out, he didn't know when, but their stronghold had been surrounded by at least forty or fifty people wearing similar clothes, who kept pointing at the building.
He felt completely numb.
What great deeds had he done to attract so many people coming to beat him up?
Big Brother Dabiao turned around and asked Bai Fu, who followed him, anxiously: "We are clearly enemies. Why would you help me?"
"Idiot!" Bai Fu suddenly cursed, looking as if she were disappointed with someone incapable, "We may have a grudge, but it's still an internal conflict. Now that the outsiders are attacking, if I don't help you and just watch you get killed by those outsiders, wouldn't that allow the outsiders to pick us off one by one? Do you think I'm as stupid as you?"
"This..."
Big Brother Dabiao had nothing to say.
He had to admit Bai Fu's harsh words were correct.
If it were up to him, he definitely couldn't do what Bai Fu did, to repay evil with good.
What's all this talk about goddamn big picture!
Big Brother Dabiao asked earnestly, "What should we do now? There are so many of them, it's not going to be easy."
Bai Fu made a face, "Since I came to find you, naturally I have a plan. To tell you the truth, I am actually a Spiritual Ability Prayer Master."
"What?"
Big Brother Dabiao and the others all drew in a breath of cold air.
A Spiritual Ability Prayer Master, that was a transcendent being capable of bestowing various enhancement effects on their own people and imposing various restrictions on opponents!
"You..."
"There's no time to explain. After we escape, I will tell you slowly." Bai Fu shook her head, "Line up quickly, and I will bestow prayers on each of you one by one."
With no other options, Big Brother Dabiao and the others could only comply.
They lined up in turn, and then a faint glow shot from Bai Fu's palm, landing on their hands.
[Fervor]: Causes a part of the target's body to enter a state of fervor.
With hands in a state of fervor, strength, speed, resistance to hits, and recovery ability all significantly increase.
In this manner, against the onslaught of players, Big Brother Dabiao and his group could hold on much longer.
The enhancement Bai Fu gave to Big Brother Dabiao wasn't just that; she specially made his stomach enter a state of fervor as well.
Hands in fervor = faster and stronger.
What does stomach in fervor equal?
Bai Fu was curious.
Feeling his hands becoming progressively strong and powerful, Big Brother Dabiao was filled with emotion.
Bai Fu hadn't lied to him, she really was a Spiritual Ability Prayer Master and really did not hold grudges.
Sigh((´ο｀*)))...
After this fight, if he could survive, he would sincerely apologize to Bai Fu, only hoping she could forgive the trespasses of a lesser man.
"Thanks!" Big Brother Dabiao bowed deeply with his fist, "Later, we'll do our best to attract the outsiders' attention. You must take the chance to escape."
Bai Fu waved her hand, scolding with a smile, "Stop being so fussy. The prayer only lasts a few minutes. Go on, I have my own way."
"Alright."
Big Brother Dabiao gave a nod, leading his four underlings past Bai Fu.
As he reached the stairwell, he suddenly stopped, "Bai Fu!"
"Hmm?" Bai Fu was taken aback.
The next second, Big Brother Dabiao raised his right hand.
A salute to you, salute!
After finishing this comical gesture, he continued downstairs.
A slightly timid underling asked, "Boss, can we beat those outsiders?"
"We will win!"
Big Brother Dabiao's voice was unwaveringly determined—with his enhancement, what reason was there not to win?
Bai Fu stood on the second floor, watching them leave the building and didn't forget to wave goodbye to them.
"Good luck, big guy with the scar on your face. Show those out-of-towners what you're made of!"
Bai Fu's blessing came from the heart, for from that moment on, Big Brother Dabiao had become her Top 1 Funder.
To express her gratitude for the Top 1 Funder's contributions, she started to search the building very seriously.
A dozen seconds later.
"Die for me!"
A fierce shout signaled the commencement of the battle between Big Brother Dabiao's gang and the players.
Big Brother Dabiao charged into the fray like Lv Bu himself, endowed with an invincible physique, and started to mow down his enemies.
"-7," "-11," "-9"
With each strike, he managed to deplete at least a quarter of a player's Blood Volume, while the players struggled to even land a hit on him.
This spectacle greatly inspired the four underlings.
Damn it, I'm fired up!
You think you're tough just because you've got numbers? You have your comradeship, but we, the Evil Force, have our bonds too!
"Maya!"
An Ya, who was watching from a distance, was startled.
People are dying, so many people are going to die.
Those out-of-towners talk big, but they are no match for Big Brother Dabiao.
But as she watched, An Ya noticed something amiss.
What's with these out-of-towners?
She saw one with his head caved in, not screaming in pain, but laughing heartily.
"Damn, as expected of an Elite Monster. So strong, it looks like I'll have my first death here."
She also saw another outsider hanging on a wall, his waist broken, yet still laughing wildly.
Even more outrageous was that the remaining out-of-towners weren't sad at all about their dying companion.
"Haha, the noobs! Now watch how I show off!"
"You show off your mother. Without Patrick up front, you would have been dead long ago."
"Just say whether I'm still alive or not?"
An Ya was flabbergasted.
Hey, are these out-of-towners monsters or what?
Big Brother Dabiao and the others were also left dumbfounded by the players' absurd conversation.
Who wouldn't be confused when faced with such opponents?
However, the vast power difference still filled Big Brother Dabiao with confidence.
Kill, kill, kill, kill all the out-of-towners by myself!
But just when the players were sweating buckets, something eerie happened – Big Brother Dabiao suddenly stopped in his tracks, his face contorting into a bizarre expression.
What the hell?
An Ya and the few underlings were stunned.
The players also ceased their assault, on high alert.
Is this Elite Monster about to enter a second phase and unleash a powerful attack?
Indeed, Big Brother Dabiao was about to unleash something big, but not the kind of big the players were expecting.
He clutched his stomach and squeezed his legs tightly together, fearing the slightest move would unleash a catastrophe.
"I'm gonna..."
At such a critical moment, he was hit with a stomachache – what kind of rotten luck was this?
Big Brother Dabiao's heart sank halfway to his feet.
It must have been something Bai Fu ate before she came!
This won't do – I've got to get out fast, or I'll definitely get killed in this condition.
Big Brother Dabiao turned to run, yelling at his underlings to cover him as he went.
But what drove him to utter despair was that his underlings, seeing things go south, immediately took off on their own.
We agreed to be brothers, so you're just running away like this?
"Get out of here!"
The rest of Big Brother Dabiao's heart cooled as well.
He had no choice but to run as hard as he could, but the players were not about to let him get away so easily.
"Hmph, trying to escape?"
"Thunder Half Moon Slash!"
The player named Afu with the nickname Black Tiger was the first to charge, landing a blow on Big Brother Dabiao's right eye socket, which he dared not dodge forcefully.
"-7"
A red critical hit!
Big Brother Dabiao howled in pain, pushed Black Tiger Afu off with his shoulder, and continued to run, enduring the pain.
Several players followed in hot pursuit.
Bang, bang, bang!
A series of sneak attacks brutally reduced Big Brother Dabiao's Blood Bar to about half.
[62/110]
"He's almost dead, everyone, push harder!"
The players grew excited.
The heavily wounded Big Brother Dabiao became frantic.
Barely breaking free from the encirclement, but with his current condition, it wouldn't take long for him to be caught again.
Was he really going to die here today?
He experienced an unprecedented sense of despair.
It was coming.
The footsteps were coming!
Big Brother Dabiao clenched his teeth, prepared to fight to the death.
But after the footsteps, a familiar voice emerged.
"Follow me."
Could it be...
He lifted his head, and in his good left eye, clearly saw a white figure.
It was Bai Fu!
But right now, he preferred to call Bai Fu something else –
A saving angel in distress!
