You've Been Buffed, Go Die

Passing through a narrow path cluttered with debris, Bai Fu stopped in front of a dilapidated three-story building.

This was the hideout of the debtor.

It wasn't her first time here, so even though her hair color had changed, the gatekeeper recognized her at a glance.

"This is bad!" he exclaimed, turning and running into the building. "Boss, that woman is here again!"

"That woman?"

The sound of chairs and tables being moved echoed from inside the building.

A moment later, a tall man with a scar on his forehead emerged from the house.

Bai Fu decisively used the [Spiritual Vision] skill on him.

Skill check successful. Due to the level difference, the displayed data was incomplete.

[Name]: Brother Dabiao (Elite)
[Template]: Normal
[Main Class]: ? Lv6
[Sub Class]: None
[HP]: 107/110
[Attributes]: ?
[Skills]: Intimidation Lv2, ?
[Talent]: ?
[Affinity]: Hostile (?)
[Danger Level]: Yellow

Seeing this, Bai Fu relaxed.

It was just as she expected.

"Above the Stars" divided targets into five danger levels: Green, Blue, Yellow, Red, and Black.

Yellow meant Brother Dabiao was only slightly stronger than her. Even if she attacked his ancestors and provoked him into a berserk state, she could still hold on until players arrived to rescue her.

"It's you?"

Brother Dabiao's brows furrowed. He recognized Bai Fu too.

"I've already told you, I have no money, only my life. You dare to come here again, are you tired of living?"

Bai Fu appeared very calm. "Don't rush, I'm not here to cause trouble."

"Then what are you here for?"

The scar on Brother Dabiao's forehead twitched.

I don't believe you for a second!

Bai Fu pointed into the distance. "You've been targeted by the Outsiders. They're outside right now."

"Outsiders?"

Brother Dabiao was shocked and quickly led his four subordinates to the second floor.

Looking out, they saw that their hideout had been surrounded by at least forty to fifty people wearing similar clothes. These people were pointing at the hideout and chattering.

He was completely stunned.

What did I do to deserve this? Why are so many people here to attack me?

Brother Dabiao turned around and anxiously asked Bai Fu, who had followed him, "We have a grudge, why are you helping me?"

"Idiot!" Bai Fu suddenly cursed, looking disappointed. "We have a grudge, but this is an internal conflict. Now that the Outsiders are here, if I don't help you and just watch you get killed by them, won't that allow the Outsiders to defeat us one by one? Do you think I'm as stupid as you are?"

"This..."

Brother Dabiao was speechless.

He had to admit that Bai Fu was right to scold him.

If it were him, he definitely wouldn't be able to repay kindness with enmity like Bai Fu.

This is what you call having a big picture!

Brother Dabiao asked, "What should we do now? There are too many of them, it's difficult."

Bai Fu's face was stern. "Since I came to find you, I naturally have a plan. To tell you the truth, I'm actually a Spiritual Energy Priest."

"What?"

Brother Dabiao and the others gasped.

Spiritual Energy Priests could bestow various buffs on allies and cast various curses on enemies – they were truly extraordinary individuals!

"You..."

"There's no time to explain. I'll tell you more after we escape." Bai Fu shook her head. "Now, line up quickly, and I'll give you all a prayer, one by one."

With no other choice, Brother Dabiao and the others could only comply.

They lined up one by one, and then a faint light shot from Bai Fu's palm, landing on their hands.

[Zealotry]: Enters a specific body part of the target into the Zealotry state.

Once their hands entered the Zealotry state, their strength, speed, damage resistance, recovery capabilities, and so on would be greatly enhanced.

This way, when facing a mob of players, Brother Dabiao and his group could hold out longer.

Bai Fu's enhancement for Brother Dabiao wasn't limited to this; she specifically applied Zealotry to his stomach as well.

Hands in Zealotry state = Faster and Stronger.

What did Zealotry in the stomach state equal?

Bai Fu was very curious.

Feeling his hands gradually becoming strong and powerful, Brother Dabiao was filled with emotion.

Bai Fu hadn't lied to him; she really was a Spiritual Energy Priest, and she truly didn't hold grudges.

Sigh

After this fight, if they could survive, he would apologize to Bai Fu properly. He just hoped Bai Fu could be magnanimous.

"Thanks!" Brother Dabiao clasped his fists solemnly. "We'll do our best to attract the attention of those Outsiders later. You must take this chance to escape."

Bai Fu waved her hand, laughing and scolding, "Stop being so wishy-washy. The prayer only lasts a few minutes. Hurry up and go; I have my own ways."

"Okay."

Brother Dabiao nodded. He led his four subordinates past Bai Fu.

As they reached the staircase, he suddenly stopped. "Bai Fu!"

"Hm?" Bai Fu was taken aback.

The next second, Brother Dabiao raised his right hand.

Saluting you, salute!

After performing this comical salute, he continued downstairs.

A somewhat timid subordinate asked, "Boss, can we win against those Outsiders?"

"We will win!"

Brother Dabiao's voice was firmer than ever. With his enhancements, what reason did he have not to win?

Standing on the second floor, Bai Fu watched them leave the building. She didn't forget to wave them off.

Go, big brother with the scar on his face, show those Outsiders what you're made of!

Bai Fu's blessing was sincere. After all, from this moment on, Brother Dabiao had transformed into her Top Spender Bro.

To express her gratitude for Top Spender Bro's efforts, she very seriously began to search the building.

A dozen seconds later.

"Die for me!"

A furious roar announced the official start of the battle between Brother Dabiao's group and the players.

Brother Dabiao charged headfirst into the player mob, like Lu Bu with his innate super armor in Dynasty Warriors, he began a frantic slaughter.

"-7", "-11", "-9"

Each of his attacks could deal at least a quarter of a player's health, and it was difficult for the players to even hit him.

This scene deeply inspired his four subordinates.

Damn it, this is getting intense!

You outsiders, don't think you're strong just because you have numbers. You have your friendship, and we, the criminal underworld, have our bonds too, ahhhhh!

"Maya!"

An Ya, who was watching from afar, was startled.

People are dying, so many people are going to die.

Those Outsiders boasted a lot, but in a real fight, they were no match for Brother Dabiao.

But as she watched, An Ya realized something was wrong.

What was going on with those Outsiders?

She saw one Outsider's skull cave in, but instead of crying out in pain, they were laughing heartily.

"Shit, as expected of an elite monster, so strong. My virgin death is going to happen here."

She also saw another Outsider hanging on the wall, their waist broken, also laughing.

Even more outrageous was that the remaining Outsiders showed no sadness even as their companions were on the brink of death.

"Haha, noob, watch how I dominate next!"

"Dominate your mom, without Patrick Star tanking in front, you would have died long ago."

"Just tell me if I'm alive or dead?"

An Ya stared, dumbfounded.

Whoa, are these Outsiders some kind of monsters?

Brother Dabiao and his men were also bewildered by the players' absurd dialogue.

Facing such enemies, who wouldn't be confused?

However, the vast gap in strength made Brother Dabiao full of confidence.

Kill, kill, kill! I'll kill all these damn Outsiders by myself!

But just as the players were breaking a sweat, something strange happened. Brother Dabiao suddenly stopped in his tracks, his expression extremely odd.

What the hell?

An Ya and her subordinates froze.

The players also stopped attacking, their vigilance piqued.

Could it be that this elite monster is entering phase two and powering up?

Brother Dabiao was indeed powering up, but not in the way the players imagined.

He clutched his stomach, his legs pressed tightly together, feeling that any slight movement would lead to an unstoppable release.

"I can't believe..."

To get an upset stomach at a time like this, what kind of shitty luck is this?

Brother Dabiao's heart sank halfway.

It must be those things Bai Fu ate before coming!

No, I have to run quickly, or with my current condition, I'll definitely get killed.

Brother Dabiao turned and fled, shouting for his men to cover him as he ran.

But to his despair, as soon as his subordinates saw the situation, they quickly bolted on their own.

We said we'd be brothers, and you just ran off like this?

"You bastards!"

Brother Dabiao's remaining half-heart sank.

He could only grit his teeth and keep running, but the players wouldn't let him go that easily.

"Hmph, trying to escape?"

"Thunderous Crescent Slash!"

A player named Black Tiger Afu was the first to charge, smashing a club into Brother Dabiao's right eye socket. Brother Dabiao dared not dodge with full force.

"-7"

A critical hit!

Brother Dabiao cried out in pain, shoved Black Tiger Afu away with his shoulder, and continued to flee, enduring the agony.

Then, several more players caught up.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

A series of surprise attacks managed to push Brother Dabiao's health bar down to about half.

[62/110]

"He's almost dead, everyone, put in more effort!"

The players became excited.

Brother Dabiao, severely injured, was burning with anxiety.

He had finally broken through the blockade, but with his current physical condition, he would likely be caught again before long.

Am I really going to die here today?

He felt a despair he had never known before.

They're coming.

Footsteps!

Brother Dabiao gritted his teeth, preparing to fight to the death.

But after the footsteps disappeared, a familiar voice emerged.

"Follow me."

This is...

He looked up, and in his one good left eye, he saw a white figure.

It was Bai Fu!

But now, he wanted to call Bai Fu by another name—

An angel of salvation!
