Eliminate Bai Fu!

To the boss of the Wildfire Gang, the death of Brother Dabiao was as insignificant as finding a dead rat by the roadside.

But the death of Martin was different; Martin was a supervisor he had personally promoted.

Martin being murdered was clearly a public humiliation!

He immediately summoned his trusted confidants, spitting foam in his rage: "Investigate! You have one day to find out who dared to lay hands on our Wildfire Gang supervisor at the Abandoned Cooling Plant!"

"Yes, yes, yes."

None of the confidants dared to provoke him at this moment, so they could only agree first.

They actually held no hope of finding the real culprit.

Before they came, they had heard that no one was around when Martin died, nor were any obvious clues left at the scene.

Investigate?

Investigate what?

Their run-down settlement wasn't like those super-large settlements with advanced equipment that could track culprits by testing blood or fingerprints.

But it didn't matter if they couldn't find out; they already had a solution.

They would just say the Outsiders did it!

Anyway, those Outsiders were already at loggerheads with the Wildfire Gang, so pinning more blame on them wouldn't affect the situation.

In fact, these confidants were quite fond of the Outsiders.

With the Outsiders around, investigations became simple, and old grudges could be settled.

They only regretted that the Outsiders hadn't arrived sooner and hoped they could last a little longer under the Wildfire Gang's crackdown.

But that was still asking a bit too much of the Outsiders.

If their boss hadn't been so busy entertaining distinguished guests from afar recently, the Outsiders would likely have already been driven out of the settlement and into the polluted zone by the enraged boss.

"Boss, Martin is dead, so what happens to the team he managed?" one of the confidants asked cautiously.

He wanted to assign one of his own people to the position, but the outcome was somewhat unsatisfactory.

The Wildfire Gang boss pulled Martin's file from the table, glanced at it for a moment, and pointed casually.

"Her. She did the most work in Martin's team. I heard she was also the first to discover Dabiao's death. Let her temporarily manage Martin's team."

The confidant leaned in and saw that the name was Bai Fu.

He quickly lowered his head, hiding the dissatisfaction in his eyes.

"I'll arrange it now."

Temporary management was just that – if she could manage temporarily today, she could be replaced tomorrow if she died.

But this kind of thing couldn't be done by themselves, nor by their subordinates. It was best to find someone completely unknown.

Like the Outsiders.

Things went smoother than expected.

Before the investigation results were even out, Bai Fu received her appointment to replace Martin.

She had actually expected some complications.

An Ya exclaimed joyfully, "Boss, does this mean we can just lie back and collect money like Martin?"

"We can, but his methods were too crude, and we have other things to do before that."

"Other things?"

Bai Fu watched the retreating figure of the messenger.

She had habitually used Spiritual Vision to check the person's attributes. The attributes themselves were unremarkable, but the favorability rating was startling.

[-78]

Bai Fu almost thought she had killed his mother; why else would he hate her so much?

She thought for a long time but couldn't remember ever meeting this person. Since it wasn't due to direct contact that she had angered him, it could only be a conflict of interest.

Two days ago, she was still dirt poor and couldn't compete for interests with anyone. Thus, there was only one truth—

This guy also wanted to be a supervisor!

Good for you, old man, with your ulterior motives.

She didn't know how this guy would make his move, but Bai Fu was no pushover either.

Bai Fu withdrew her gaze and opened the new faction feature unlocked after being appointed acting supervisor.

The faction system in Above the Stars was very comprehensive. Players could unlock many new features after obtaining faction positions.

For Bai Fu, the most important functions, besides higher-level faction access, were the management functions of a supervisor.

As a supervisor, she could mobilize certain resources and appoint a Quartermaster within her team, an appointment that would be recognized by the faction.

In the game, Quartermaster could usually assign players [Supply Missions].

Bai Fu intended to appoint An Ya as her Quartermaster, hoping to grant An Ya the ability to issue supply missions this way.

She had originally wanted to set herself as the Quartermaster, but unfortunately, the game prompted that the operation failed. She couldn't appoint herself, someone with a player panel, as the Quartermaster.

"All set. I'll take An Ya to find some players to test this out later."

If the test was successful, she would essentially have a weakened, loli-type Seria!

Two in the afternoon.

The sun hung high in the sky.

Convert to My Fu squatted by the roadside, the warm breeze caressing him, stirring a sense of restlessness in his heart.

This was the second day after he had his account deleted and restarted due to being attacked by Bai Fu's supporters in the community.

After restarting, he had incredibly good luck and arrived at the Abandoned Cooling Plant, but he had been looking for Bai Fu for almost a day with no success.

Helpless, he could only look for some quests to do first.

To find quests with high rewards and level up quickly, he even ventured into the territory of the Wildfire Gang.

He didn't want to fall too far behind other players in level, otherwise, even if Bai Fu needed players' help next time, he wouldn't be able to assist.

"Ahhhh, those people are too stingy! I messaged five or six of them privately, and not a single one was willing to sell me the Credit Coins gifted by Fu Fu."

Convert to My Fu vigorously ruffled his hair.

He stood up from the ground. Before he could even take a step, he saw an NPC with a large golden "!" above their head approaching him.

What the heck, a quest!

Convert to My Fu's eyes lit up, and he immediately rushed forward.

"Hello, is there anything you need my help with?"

The approaching person was startled: "Out... Outsiders?"

Convert to My Fu nodded.

The person's eyes narrowed.

Normally, if he encountered an Outsider, he would have immediately used the skill "Unbreakable Bond Seven-Day Lock," knocked the Outsider unconscious, and then sent them to the Wildfire Gang for a bounty.

But today, he was on a mission and couldn't afford to lose sight of the bigger picture.

"I heard that you Outsiders will do anything for money? Help me kill someone."

"Who? Why do you need to kill him?"

"Don't ask so many questions. 1000 yuan, are you in or out? If you're in, I'll pay you a 500 yuan deposit first."

In? Of course, I'm in!

Convert to My Fu chose to accept: "Tell me the quest details."

The person told him the assassination target's address, their usual time at home, and the meeting point after the mission was completed.

A game prompt popped up in front of him.

[You have triggered the hidden quest [The Killing Pact](Party Play Available)]

What he didn't expect was that the experience reward for this quest was a whopping 3500 points!

With such a high reward, the quest difficulty could be imagined. He definitely wouldn't be able to complete it alone.

After sending the person away, Convert to My Fu immediately opened the Abandoned Cooling Plant section of the Star Travel Society.

He had no choice but to call for backup.

Moreover, this was a perfect opportunity to build a good relationship with Patrick Star and the others, and then he could legitimately approach Fu Fu.

Perfect!

[@Patrick Star Pai Pai, Pai Pai, are you free? I just got a hidden quest with a very high reward!]
