When You Become an NPC That Might Die Any Moment in the Novice Village-Chapter 38 - 27 We failed to penetrate the enemy’s armor [Double Read]_2
But he quickly threw that thought out of his mind, "I've been duped once already, do you think I'll fall for it again?"
He pulled the trigger.
The gunshot tore through the night, a flash of light fleeting, and the bullet struck the wall precisely ten centimeters to Bai Fu's left.
"If you don't want to be killed, stand still."
To his surprise, Bai Fu, as if she hadn't heard him at all, walked straight toward him.
"Roar! She's actually approaching me instead of running away."
Cao Wenliang became even more excited.
He reached out to grab Bai Fu's hair, but she simply dodged to the left effortlessly avoiding his attack.
It wasn't until then that Cao Wenliang suddenly realized he felt somewhat worn out, but there was no time for him to ponder the reason.
Bai Fu's right foot, boosted by Fervor, kicked him right in the chest.
That spot had already been kicked by the boss of the Wildfire Gang, and now with the new injury atop the old one, as he fell, a bright red [-9] floated above his forehead.
"You bastard, die!"
This kick sent Cao Wenliang's rationality flying, and he raised his right hand and fired a shot at Bai Fu.
Not until the gunshot rang out did he come to his senses.
It was over; at such a close distance, Bai Fu couldn't possibly survive a shot. He had planned to torture Bai Fu ruthlessly, and now it was all ruined!
Cao Wenliang lifted his head in frustration.
But contrary to his expectations, Bai Fu had not fallen; her body didn't bloom with bright sprays of blood; instead, she was smiling, her right hand slightly raised, pinching a bullet between her fingers!
"You..."
At that moment, Cao Wenliang felt as if something was stuck in his throat, an unprecedented chill rose from his spine to the crown of his head.
Catching a bullet with bare hands was beyond his wildest dreams!
He watched helplessly as Bai Fu pocketed the bullet, watched as she snatched the gun from his hands.
Your gun is nice, but it's mine now!
Bai Fu examined the gun in her hand with interest.
[Trash Star P7]
[Quality]: Gray
[Basic Attributes]: Attack power 16~23, fire rate 2 rounds/s, magazine capacity 8 rounds, effective range 50m
[Additional Effect]: None
"My calculations were spot on; after using Hardening, this shoddy handgun couldn't possibly pose a serious threat to me."
Bai Fu was confident in catching bullets empty-handed.
The gun Cao Wenliang used was the same model as the one the Director of External Affairs used last night.
When the Director of External Affairs was shooting players, she had been observing the damage numbers, comparing their attributes to hers. She figured that unless it hit her weak spot, the gun couldn't threaten her.
Indeed, the fact was the shot just now only knocked off 2 points from her Life Value. For her, with a total Life Value of 270, that damage was insignificant.
Actually, even if her estimate had been wrong and the bullet had embedded in her palm, Bai Fu wouldn't have been worried.
She was different from ordinary NPCs; as a digitized entity, she had a capability that all NPCs envied: the Breathing Healing Technique!
As long as she was out of combat, without any disability or high continuous blood loss debuffs, over time, the wounds on her body would heal as her Blood Volume recovered.
If it weren't for that ability, she wouldn't dare to undertake tasks with such high intensity.
"Now, it's time to send you off."
Bai Fu raised the gun.
By then, Cao Wenliang had already scrambled up from the ground and was running desperately towards the direction of the Wildfire Gang.
Bai Fu pulled the trigger.
The bullet exited the barrel and hit Cao Wenliang in the buttocks, causing him to scream in agony and fall to the ground.
"Did I miss?"
Bai Fu rolled her eyes.
She had clearly aimed for Cao Wenliang's back.
Oh well, no big issue, just need more practice!
Bai Fu pocketed the gun and dashed over to where Cao Wenliang was, just as he was propping himself up, she kicked him in the chest again.
"Ah!" Cao Wenliang's throat let out a bestial roar, "Bai... Ahhhhh..."
He had intended to shout Bai Fu's name loudly, but the sudden hardening of his mouth only allowed him to make indistinct sounds.
Before he could figure out what had happened, Bai Fu had already kicked him under the chin.
"-27"
The kick not only inflicted high damage but also gave Cao Wenliang a 10-second [Dizziness] debuff.
Bai Fu pressed her gun against Cao Wenliang's neck, "I didn't plan to kill you so soon, but if you insist on courting death, there's no helping it."
Bang!
The bullet shot into Cao Wenliang's throat, and after struggling for a while, Cao Wenliang's blood bar was completely emptied.
[You killed Cao Wenliang, 100% Contribution, adjusted for level difference, you gained 1750 experience points]
Just like when she had killed Martin, this time too, no task was triggered, which was normal; after all, she and Cao Wenliang were from the same camp. If killing someone from her own camp could trigger task rewards, that would be truly ridiculous.
Bai Fu dragged Cao Wenliang's corpse away to a distance, made some easily seen through disguises, and then went home.
The next day, she didn't receive the message from the Wildfire Gang until noon.
"Minister Cao is dead!"
"It's said that he was killed by those out-of-towners in retaliation for the attack the night before. Minister Cao died a gruesome death; his jaw and throat were all smashed to bits. The boss rushed over as soon as he got the news."
"Damn it, those outsiders are getting out of hand!"
When Bai Fu followed the main force to the scene, she saw the Wildfire Gang's boss squatting on the ground inspecting Cao Wenliang's body.
There was also a woman standing beside the Wildfire Gang's boss whom she had never seen before. This woman clearly had a Western face and hair the color of ice blue that couldn't grow out in real life. She stood there expressionless, emanating an aura of keep-out from her entire being.
"Who is that?"
Someone beside her explained, "She's a distinguished guest from afar. The boss has been entertaining her recently; otherwise, these outsiders wouldn't have been so bold."
Bai Fu unconsciously cast [Spiritual Vision] over.
[Skill determination failed]
"?"
Bai Fu was taken aback; this was the first time she had encountered a failure of Spiritual Vision determination. Even with the Wildfire Gang's boss, it wasn't to this extent; at most, the feedback would be all question marks.
She felt that she might have come across a Hidden Task or stumbled upon the main task of the Abandoned Cooling Factory's Newbie Village.
While she was thinking, the Wildfire Gang's boss stood up, "It seems I must take time to meet those outlanders myself."
"Wait."
All of a sudden, the ice-cold woman spoke up.
The Wildfire Gang's boss turned around, puzzled.
"They likely aren't the ones who killed him."
"Why do you say that?"
"Think about your people's encounters with those outlanders these days. They only use the sleaziest tactics. If it were them, on his body, and around here, there would at least be some human excrement."

Freaking hell, what an insight!
Almost instantaneously, everyone's gazes converged on the ice-cold woman.
Bai Fu was no exception.
You must have wandered over from the Conan Theater, making such a discovery!
The onlookers whispered among themselves.
These days, whenever they scuffled with the outlanders, they would always run into a few with weapons smeared with crap. The Director of External Affairs handled a raid like that the other night; it made no sense that the outlanders who encountered Cao Wenliang would suddenly become righteous people.
The Wildfire Gang's boss's face changed slightly, "If it wasn't the work of outlanders, then..."
The ice-cold woman said, "I'm not certain, there's no evidence."
The Wildfire Gang's boss didn't say anything further, anxiety was unmistakable on his face.
Regardless of whether Cao Wenliang's death was by the hands of the outlanders or not, the fact that this had happened meant the very survival of the Wildfire Gang was threatened; he had to take it more seriously.
He thought of Bai Fu.
He had, with great difficulty, found a successor who seemed to have great potential; he couldn't let this successor follow the same foolish path as Cao Wenliang.
After commanding people to drag Cao Wenliang's body back, he shouted towards the door guards,
"Go call Bai Fu over, I have a new task for her."
