My Popularity Among Players Will Grant Me Stat Points!

An Ya felt a bit guilty under Bai Fu's slightly strange gaze.

She tugged at her dyed white hair and began to reflect.

"Boss, is it possible that the ratio I'm giving to those Outsiders is too high? How about changing it to nine-one? But I think if we do that, we'll earn more, but those Outsiders might develop other ideas, which could lead to a breakdown in our cooperation."

She cautiously offered her opinion.

Her serious expression, paired with her cute face, made it seem like she was doing charity work to anyone who didn't know the full story. In reality, she was thinking of something as ruthless as the slave trade.

Bai Fu rolled her eyes.

Calling me "Old Deng" with every other word, and having brilliant ideas that could be compared to the great and wicked Dai Ying – this is a child raised in our Abandoned Cooling Plant!

Bai Fu felt that An Ya was so weak now that she could only be used as a unit of combat power. Otherwise, with her money-grubbing mindset, she would probably turn the Abandoned Cooling Plant into a Palworld factory and then "warmly" invite players to visit, to roleplay as Pals.

Kid, you're invincible.

She couldn't help but sigh, "My sister An Ya has the makings of a public menace."

"An Ya, this won't do. Our friendship with those Outsiders is as pure as white clouds. How can we tarnish it with dirty money?"

Bai Fu decisively intervened.

She couldn't just stand by and watch An Ya go down the wrong path.

An Ya met Bai Fu's gaze, feeling the sincerity in her eyes, and lowered her head in shame.

"Boss, I'm sorry, I'll never again..."

Bai Fu interrupted her halfway through.

"We can't give them any money. Forget ten percent, not even a single Credit Coin. If we give them money, they'll question our motives and our character."

"Huh?"

An Ya was stunned.

If they didn't give them money, this wasn't just a matter of bad character, it was outright inhuman.

Besides, no matter how useful those Outsiders were, they wouldn't be happy to be exploited like this and still come running.

Could it be that they were all born masochists, who just loved being tormented by their boss?

That's truly perverse!

Bai Fu said, "Of course, we can't tell them directly that we're doing this to make money. We need to package it nicely, give them a different sense of accomplishment, so they won't focus on the money."

An Ya became even more confused.

"Watch and learn. Oh, and don't tell anyone else what I told you today, okay?" Bai Fu reminded her.

She had already thought of a plan.

She would use the excuse of helping players infiltrate the Wildfire Gang to investigate their secrets, sending players to the Wildfire Gang in batches.

By then, she would have made money, the players would enjoy the fun of infiltration and investigation, and the leader of the Wildfire Gang would have vented their anger at being provoked by the players. A world where everyone wins would be born!

"I still like win-win situations like this."

Bai Fu felt like giving herself a thumbs-up.

Seeing Bai Fu looking so relaxed, An Ya let out a long sigh of relief.

She was so scared; she thought her boss had mutated into a good person.

As expected of the boss, so human-like. She still had a lot to learn!

After the two returned home, Bai Fu told An Ya to stay home and cook, then went to find Martin alone.

The news of Brother Dabiao being ganged up on by players would quickly reach Martin's ears. She needed to strike first.

"Something happened!"

"What happened?"

Martin looked at Bai Fu who was walking towards him, confused.

Bai Fu said urgently, "When I went to collect debts, I saw a group of Outsiders attacking Brother Dabiao. Brother Dabiao was no match for them and was beaten so badly he was running around with his head in his hands. From the looks of it, he might not survive."

Martin immediately became restless. "What about the money? Did you get it back?"

Bai Fu laid out the Credit Coins, totaling 12 yuan, in a line on the table. "When I got there, his place had already been ransacked. I searched in the corners for a long time and only found this much."

Martin was instantly enraged.

Bang!

He slammed the table hard, making the water cups fly.

That was his money, stolen by those Outsiders!

"Damn Outsiders, damn their birth, I will not rest until I have my revenge!"

He stuffed the money into his pocket and stormed out angrily.

"You did very well this time. You rest first, and I'll assign you new tasks when I get back."

Bai Fu curled her lips.

"It had to be you. You promised a five-point cut, but now you're assigning me a new task? Did you learn from Zhou Bapi?"

Fortunately, she had hidden over 300 yuan beforehand.

[You have completed the Faction Quest [Debt Repayment], gaining 2000 experience points and 10 faction reputation.]

The game prompt sounded.

Just as Bai Fu had expected, even though she only handed over 12 yuan, the game still deemed the quest complete.

Current experience: 3871

After operating for so long, it was finally time for the results.

Bai Fu began leveling up.

[Spiritual Apprentice leveled up to Lv2, Spirit +1, Inspiration +1, Attribute Points +2]

[Spiritual Apprentice leveled up to Lv5, Spirit +1, Inspiration +1, Attribute Points +2]

[You have unlocked the exclusive passive [Innate Spirituality] and [Low-level Inspiration Specialization].]

Previously, when completing the hidden quest [Order Iron Fist], Bai Fu had gained an additional attribute point. She poured all these free attribute points into Constitution, causing a drastic change in her personal stats.

[Template]: Normal
[Experience]: 71
[Main Profession]: Spiritual Apprentice Lv5 (0/3000), Unemployed Level 3 (0/1000)
[Sub Profession]: None
[Health]: 180/180
[Mana]: 45/45
[Attributes]: Strength 5, Agility 3, Constitution 18, Intelligence 3, Spirit 9, Inspiration 9
[Skills]: Zealotry Lv1, Hardening Lv1, Spiritual Vision
Innate Spirituality Lv1 - Spirit and Flesh Unity: You can consume 20 Health to temporarily restore 5 Mana.
Low-level Spiritual Energy Specialization - Spiritual Energy Knowledge acquisition efficiency and active skill effects +10%
[Talent]: None
[Attribute Points]: 0
[Reputation]: 1
[Faction]: Wildfire Gang (Faction Reputation 10)

Spirit and Inspiration both saw growth, and Constitution had doubled. This was what a surge in power looked like!

After all, Bai Fu's Constitution was only 5 just a day and a half ago.

Getting help from players was indeed much faster than leveling up alone.

"Is this what security feels like?"

Bai Fu clenched her fist tightly, looking at the back of her hand, which had barely changed in appearance but was now smoother. She smiled.

Now, to continue improving her strength, besides accumulating experience to level up her main profession, she needed to find ways to get more skill books.

The easiest place to obtain skill books and profession books was the Wildfire Gang's library.

However, with her current status, she didn't have the qualifications to enter the library. She had to improve her position within the Wildfire Gang.

It was worth noting that positions like supervisor within the Wildfire Gang were like a "one carrot, one pit" situation; a position had to be vacated before she could contend for it.

So, what to do next was clear.

Bai Fu looked at the chair Martin had previously occupied.

"Old geezer, I've tolerated you for a long time. Now I'll let you know what the wrath of a wage slave looks like!"
