Under the onlookers' gaze, Bai Fu took down a total of seven players, earning 1130 experience points.

When she submitted the [Wildfire Incineration] quest earlier, she had captured 10 players and gained 2000 experience points. Adding that to the leftover experience from her previous level-up and the experience gained from defeating Martin, she now had a total of 3841 experience points.

The speed at which she accumulated experience left the players speechless and the NPCs who needed to slowly increase their strength in tears.

Considering Cao Wenliang had put in a lot of effort, Bai Fu had to suppress a laugh when facing him.

"You've proven your loyalty to the Wildfire Gang," Cao Wenliang said perfunctorily, then ignored Bai Fu.

Given his position in the Wildfire Gang, he indeed had no need to explain himself to Bai Fu.

The situation grew awkward, and it was finally the Wildfire Gang leader who ended the farce.

"Clean up the bodies. Lock up those three survivors for now."

After arranging the players' "aftermath," he also had someone give Bai Fu an extra 500 Credit Coins as a reward for her excellent performance.

Bai Fu accepted it gladly. She didn't care about the Wildfire Gang leader's motives; she only knew that not taking free money was for idiots.

When she went to collect the money, the person in charge of distributing it whispered, "You should be careful lately."

"What do you mean?"

"You don't interact with Minister Cao much, so you don't know how small-minded he is. He was already unhappy with you, and today you embarrassed him in front of everyone. He definitely won't let this go. You also know he's in charge of logistics, so you... anyway, you understand what I mean."

The person shook their head as they spoke, clearly showing long-standing dissatisfaction with Cao Wenliang.

Bai Fu smiled and thanked him.

She didn't know Cao Wenliang well, but she had her cheat.

When Cao Wenliang left earlier, she had specifically used Spiritual Vision on him.

[Name]: Cao Wenliang (Elite) [Template]: Normal [Main Profession]: Normal Boxer Lv9 [Sub Profession]: None [HP]: 130/130 [Attributes]: Strength 14, Agility 7, Constitution 10, Intelligence 3, Spirit 3, Inspiration 4 [Skills]: ? [Talents]: ? [Favorability]: Resentment (-46) [Danger Level]: Red

Spiritual Vision couldn't see through Cao Wenliang's true thoughts, but a -46 favorability was enough to indicate many things.

Bai Fu was somewhat looking forward to how Cao Wenliang would deal with her next. Would he just use it as an excuse to withhold her supplies?

If so, Cao Wenliang's status in her heart would be downgraded from angel investor.

Overall, Bai Fu remained quite calm.

Although it would be difficult for her to defeat Cao Wenliang with her current strength, as long as he didn't show up at her doorstep immediately, she had nothing to worry about.

The next day, Bai Fu deliberately woke up early. She first went to apologize to Patrick Star and the others she had defeated, and only then did she report to the Wildfire Gang.

Shortly after arriving at the Wildfire Gang, a member from the external affairs department, responsible for assigning various tasks, found her.

"The higher-ups discussed it. Considering your team is currently weaker and you exceeded expectations yesterday, they've temporarily assigned you an easy and good job."

A good job like this? I don't believe it.

Bai Fu asked, "What kind of job?"

"Interrogator."

"Huh?" Bai Fu was stunned. "But I've never done this before. If you make me an interrogator, I probably won't be able to get any useful information."

"It's fine. What you need to do is very simple. You'll be solely responsible for interrogating those Outsiders. When someone comes in, just torture them a bit. If they're willing to talk, that's great. If they refuse, just send them on their way."

"This is acceptable?"

"Of course it is. Those Outsiders are very stubborn. Even professional interrogators might not get anything out of them. You don't need to feel any burden."

This time, Bai Fu was sure the person wasn't lying to her, because it truly was an easy and good job. In fact, she couldn't think of a better job for the time being!

According to this person, what she needed to do was simple: kill players.

Given the level difference between her and the players, killing one player could earn her 150-200 experience points. Once the players' average level increased, this number could even go up.

This was practically a risk-free, highly profitable business.

Bai Fu never dreamed she would go from "Those Years in the Abandoned Cooling Plant" to "XX Days of Killing Players in the Interrogation Room," experiencing the joy of leveling up through a safe and steady path.

Could it be that she had finally encountered the goddess of luck?

Bai Fu wasn't worried at all about going on a rampage in the interrogation room, killing players one by one, and incurring their displeasure.

The reason was simple.

Once players were captured by the Wildfire Gang, they couldn't play the game normally. The only things they could do then were log off, browse the community, or surf the internet.

If she killed these players, it would be equivalent to rescuing them, allowing them to continue playing the game normally.

These players would be too grateful to resent her.

Seeing that Bai Fu was lost in thought, the NPC who assigned the task pressed, "So, are you taking this job or not?"

Bai Fu nodded. "I'll take it. Why wouldn't I?"

"Alright, then I'll take you to get familiar with your work environment now."

Logistics Department Office.

Cao Wenliang looked up and asked the person who pushed the door open, "How did it go? Did she accept the job?"

The person who entered smiled and said, "She accepted. She even seemed quite happy about it."

Cao Wenliang tapped the table with his index finger, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

With his strength, killing a supervisor shouldn't have been this troublesome. However, Bai Fu was handpicked by the boss. Unless he was prepared to fall out with the boss completely, no matter how much anger he felt, he could only go as far as he did yesterday and wouldn't dare to act directly.

But none of that mattered.

He had already prepared a more delicious "last meal" for Bai Fu.

He had specifically instructed his subordinates to heavily publicize Bai Fu's glorious achievements in the interrogation room to those "Outsiders" during their outings.

First, she captured ten Outsiders in one go, killing seven of them, and then she left a trail of blood in the interrogation room.

Cao Wenliang was somewhat looking forward to finding an excuse to release Bai Fu a while later and seeing how those Outsiders would crazily retaliate against Bai Fu.

Would they tear her limb from limb, mince her into paste, or use even more cruel and ruthless methods?

How interesting.

For the next three days, Bai Fu didn't go anywhere else. She stayed in the Wildfire Gang's interrogation room.

Just as she had guessed, the captured players were overjoyed when they saw her, apart from the initial shock.

As time went by, the players even gave her a new nickname in the community:

[Savior Bai Fu True Lord]

[But I don't think Fu Fu is very happy either. She was suddenly assigned to be an interrogator for no reason, and she can't do her real work.]

[She must be suffering in her heart right now, having to kill people every day, even though they are people who won't actually die.]

[The Wildfire Gang is truly despicable for daring to treat Fu Fu like this.]

[It was probably that Cao Wenliang's doing. Damn it, we need to find a way to kill him and rescue Fu Fu.]

No, please don't "rescue" me. I'm doing perfectly fine here.

In three days, Bai Fu had eliminated 23 players. As the players' levels had gradually increased during these three days, she gained more experience than she had expected.

"4350 points. At this rate, in another ten days or so, I should be able to raise my Spiritual Apprentice to level 8 or 9."

Cao Wenliang?

Just you wait until I beat you up!
