She's So Bad, I Love It

"Pretty Cure" might be a bit childish for elementary schoolers, but it's just right for adults.

[Mom, I'm in love!]

[Hiss, white hair, hiss, I'm ready.]

[Holy crap, this modeling! Games that aren't shackled by political correctness are the best. I have to play this to death now.]

[You give me pretty girls, I give you money. It's a fair trade.]

[Stop spamming, you guys, get out of the way! I want to see my wife!]

Above the Stars never showed pretty female characters like 2B or Tifa in its promotions. The focus was entirely on realistic graphics and extreme freedom.

In fact, the first wave of players did indeed come for the graphics and gameplay.

But liking high-quality graphics and gameplay doesn't mean players won't like pretty girls. Many players spend hours before playing a game to install a bunch of big, white mods.

Bai Fu's arrival, riding on light, was completely unexpected by the players, yet it perfectly hit their interest points.

Thus, in just a few seconds, the livestream chat began to flood.

Seeing this, Bai Fu felt heartbroken.

What a sin!

If she could just issue quests like a normal NPC, what would be the point? She might as well transform into the Above the Stars version of Serya, making players shower her with love every day because they felt like it.

Bai Fu secretly waved her hand with tears in her eyes, signaling An Ya, who was standing nearby fanning her vigorously, to stop.

As her flowing silver-white hair fell, she walked straight into the alley.

The burly man who had kidnapped Digging Princess reacted.

"You... aren't you the one who came to collect debts from Big Brother a few days ago?"

The burly man's brows relaxed.

Actually, when they first knocked Bai Fu out, they were quite panicked. Bai Fu was part of the Wildfire Gang, after all. They were afraid of bloody retaliation and quickly sent Bai Fu back.

But upon learning that Bai Fu was just an ordinary, non-core member, they calmed down.

So she's just a nobody!

It could only be said that the past is the past, and the present is the present.

In the past, beating up Bai Fu would have been difficult to explain. But recently, the Wildfire Gang had set their sights on those lawless Outsiders and urgently needed a large number of enforcers to help them out. They happened to be able to help the Wildfire Gang, so the Wildfire Gang would never trouble them over a disposable pawn that could "refresh" on a schedule.

The burly man directly started making threats.

"You came looking for trouble just two days ago, and now you're here to steal my business? Don't think I'm afraid of you just because you're from the Wildfire Gang!"

Wait a minute, the Wildfire Gang?

Digging Princess and the players in the livestream were all stunned.

Although they had only been in the game for a short time, they had learned through various channels that the Wildfire Gang was the number one villainous force in the core area of the Abandoned Cooling Plant. And because of some audacious players, the Wildfire Gang now had negative favorability towards all players.

What the hell, a plot twist!

My wife isn't a Pretty Cure, she's a female executive of an evil organization!

Some players were heartbroken.

Some players were even more excited.

Bai Fu, who was constantly monitoring the chat, secretly nodded.

These reactions were all within her expectations. Otherwise, she wouldn't have come here to stir up trouble.

In a wuxia world, saving a life could lead to a "marry me" response if the rescuer was good-looking, but if they were not, it would probably be "I'll repay you in the next life."

Alas, this cute, looks-based world!

Bai Fu stared expressionlessly at the burly man: "I'm not interested in stealing your business. I just want to tell you that if you want to live, don't get involved in the affairs between the Wildfire Gang and the Outsiders."

The burly man laughed, amused: "What if I don't listen and insist on getting involved? Stop joking. You are you, and the Wildfire Gang is the Wildfire Gang. You can't scare me."

Bai Fu shook her head: "You know nothing of fear."

"Are you trying to say I've provoked someone I shouldn't have?" The burly man sneered dismissively.

Bai Fu: "..."

Why are you stealing my lines?

This is the accumulation of hundreds of Xuanhuan novels I've read, and you just snatched it away like this!

Bai Fu was furious.

The burly man was also furious. He wasn't one for reasoning. He was better at wielding fists than quoting the Analects.

After two solid punches, he menacingly walked towards Bai Fu.

"Come on, if you win, you can take her! If you lose, hahaha..."

There were no onlookers here now, so if he killed Bai Fu, he wouldn't have to worry about retaliation.

Bring it on, who's afraid? Don't think you can beat me just because you're muscular. This is a world with supernatural Strength. Do you think my 3 points of Inspiration were earned for nothing?

Bai Fu walked towards the burly man without a trace of fear.

In the alley, the two, left and right, approached each other step by step, much like DIO and the fishmonger about to face their fated duel. Their silhouettes were taut with a palpable sense of Strength in anticipation of the coming battle.

The sound of the wind, the rustling of debris... all other sounds vanished at that moment.

The daylight seemed to dim considerably.

This was the best stage.

At least, that's how it seemed to the observing players.

[Holy crap, a real-life fight!]

[Where are the hit-detection police? Come and judge this.]

[You jerk, how dare you hit my wife! I'll kill you, ahhhhhh!]

After three seconds of silence, Bai Fu and the burly man finally closed the distance.

At this moment, the burly man raised his right fist, and Bai Fu raised her right hand. The players held their breath.

The next moment, the burly man swung his fist. Bai Fu directly sprinkled the Lime hidden in her palm into the burly man's eyes.

[?????]

[!!!∑(Дノ)ノ]

[┌(.Д.)┐]

Where did the promised fair duel go?

The players were now unsure who the real jerk was.

As the burly man cried out, clutching his eyes, Bai Fu slid behind him.

Knife out, kidney strike, twist, all in one smooth motion!

"-31!"

A bold critical damage number popped up above the burly man's head.

But it wasn't over. With the [Bleeding] debuff applied, a series of "-1" and "-2" numbers continued to appear above him.

In just a few short seconds, the burly man's health bar was depleted.

Goodnight, Makka Pakka.

[You have killed a Thug (Normal), gaining 150 experience points]

After the entire sequence, Bai Fu showed no signs of discomfort. She even started to wonder if she was becoming like that Spirit pervert who enjoyed bludgeoning people to death with golf clubs.

I hope I'm okay!

Soon, Bai Fu felt something was wrong. How could she have a problem when she was always immersing herself in SpongeBob?

Her evaluation was that playing Above the Stars had desensitized her to gore, thanks to her digitized body and memories of surviving in the Abandoned Cooling Plant.

Bai Fu wiped the blood off her knife.

After sheathing it, she walked up to Digging Princess, who was still in a state of shock, and meticulously tidied up the clothes and hair that had become messy during Digging Princess's struggle.

"It's getting dark, you should go home early."

Pat, pat.

Bai Fu patted Digging Princess's shoulder, offered an encouraging smile, and then turned to walk out of the alley.

"Ah, I..."

Digging Princess quickly reached out, but stumbled and fell to the ground, unable to catch up.

She could only watch.

She watched Bai Fu walk to the alley entrance and take the hand of An Ya, who had been waiting there all along.

Seeing Bai Fu about to disappear, she quickly called out, "Your name! What's your name!"

"Knowing it won't do you any good."

As the voice drifted on the wind, Bai Fu's figure had completely vanished.

Gently I go, as gently as I came.

If it weren't for the burly man lying bleeding on the ground, many players would have thought this was the most beautiful dream of midsummer.

The next moment, the live stream chat exploded.

[She's so wicked, I love it!]

[Who was it that called my wife a jerk earlier? Step forward!]

[A Wildfire Gang member? Doesn't matter! I only have one question: Who is she?]

[I must find her!]
