High-tech invasion, I can see the future

Chapter 1 Future Information? Death Forecast

2037 October.

Blue Star Federation, Ninth Administrative District.

Jiangnan Apartment, Tianhai City.

Outside the window, the rain was pattering.

inside the house.

"Hoo~ Ha~"

"Hoo~~ Ha~~"

He braced his hands firmly on the ground, putting all his strength into each movement, and his breathing became increasingly rapid.

Bai Yu gritted his teeth, his muscles aching as if on fire, sweat streaming down his back and dripping onto the floor.

"Phew~ cough cough~ I can't hold on any longer."

Having lost the last bit of strength, his body collapsed heavily to the ground, his face pressed against the cold floor.

He slowly rolled over, lying on his back on the floor with his arms outstretched, letting the sweat spread beneath him.

I closed my eyes, feeling the fatigue and soreness throughout my body, and my breathing gradually calmed down.

Just then, a voice rang in my ears: [Mission Four: Push-ups 100/100, Completed, Intelligence Points +5]

[Day 1 mission completed, intelligence loading]

"One hundred squats, push-ups, sit-ups, and ten kilometers to go," he muttered to himself, his voice tinged with exhaustion and confusion.

"The mission setup is like One-Punch Man. Does it mean that if I shave my head tomorrow, I'll become invincible?"

He spoke in a half-joking tone, but secretly harbored a slight expectation for the cheat's function.

His gaze also fell on the virtual interface that was loading in front of him.

The interface always maintained a fixed distance from him, as if there were an invisible barrier.

Having come from a mysterious Eastern power, Bai Yu had already experienced the absurdity of time travel, so he naturally accepted this sudden appearance with ease.

At this point, the image changed slightly.

[Loading complete.]

[Intelligence Value: 20]

Intelligence 1 (Gray)

Keywords: soybean market

Required intelligence points: 1

Intelligence 2 (Gray)

Keywords: floods

Required intelligence points: 1

Intelligence 3 (White)

Keywords: City Devastation

Required intelligence points: 5

Intelligence 4 (White)

Keywords: car accident

Required intelligence points: 5

Looking at the four information boxes in front of him, Bai Yu stroked his chin, pondering with a strange expression.

"Judging from the keywords alone, it seems to suggest the ability to predict the future. That does align with my expectations."

"What the hell is this sudden city-destroying disaster? The world I transmigrated to is a modern society governed by law. Could someone really be this arrogant?"

He couldn't help but frown.

"Unless it's the First Administrative District, the Eagles' territory, where someone smuggles a few truckloads of Patriot missiles and carries out a terrorist attack directly in the city."

Thinking about it carefully, it's actually quite possible in this world! He stayed for a month, watched all kinds of news, and realized that the security situation was much worse than in his previous life.

Without much thought, Bai Yu glanced at the 20 intelligence points he had gained that day and immediately clicked on Intelligence Point 1.

Purchase confirmed.

I intend to find out more.

The next moment, a string of text appeared in front of me.

On July 14, 2037, Rio de Janeiro State, the fourth administrative region, experienced massive flooding, severely damaging major soybean-producing areas.

Driven by propaganda and manipulation of the futures market by international grain traders, soybean prices surged from a low of 2.23 USD/catties over the next two weeks, reaching a high of 3.61 USD/catties on July 25th.

Bai Yu had some understanding of futures trading. The original owner had also joined several groups that taught people how to trade stocks and funds, and some people in those groups were involved in futures trading.

Most people have only heard the word "futures" on short video platforms.

When I first heard about it, most people probably thought the market price was 2 federal dollars per kilogram, but it rose to 3 federal dollars per kilogram half a month later.

Based on elementary school math, one might naturally assume that investing 100,000 yuan will only yield a return of 50,000 yuan, but that's not actually the case! The real return could be 500,000 yuan!

However, Bai Yu doesn't dare to gamble on something so risky; he usually only dares to buy low-risk funds.

"Today is July 11th, and the floods mentioned in the intelligence report are just three days away."

"If this news is true, the two or three hundred thousand yuan in compensation in my bank account can become a seven-figure sum!" He was somewhat excited.

However, when it came to money, Bai Yu became much more cautious.

He was now unsure whether the information provided by the cheat code was true.

"Let's look at the next piece of information then."

Title: Giant Creature Spotted During Major Floods in Jeep, District 21!

Brothers, I have some shocking news for you today.

The city of Jeep in the 21st District was hit by a major flood, with an average water depth of 15 meters and affecting up to two million people.

That's not the key point; what follows is the important part!!!

Witnesses now claim to have spotted a giant creature underwater, suspected to be a legendary dragon! Yes, the kind of dragon that only appears in myths and legends!

Intelligent creatures such as fish-men, snake-men, and lizard-men also appeared.

It is said that there is also the legendary Cthulhu sea monster!

This is absolutely not nonsense; the video has gone viral online, and the authorities can no longer keep it a secret.

[Possibly a dragon.JPG, murloc.JPG]

Upon seeing this message, Bai Yu's brows furrowed into a deep frown.

"What are all these things?"

Upon closer inspection of the date, it turned out to be an event that occurred a year later! However, this cannot be confirmed in the short term.

But the last few pictures look incredibly realistic.

A submerged city, a giant shadow in the water, and strange, massive destruction on buildings.

"Isn't this just an ordinary technological world?"

Bai Yu's emotions were somewhat complicated at this moment. He longed to become an unparalleled powerhouse in the world of high martial arts, just like the protagonist in the novel, and be revered by thousands.

But he was also a bit timid, feeling that he didn't have the extraordinary abilities to handle the situation.

Without further ado, he looked at the remaining two pieces of information.

It requires 5 intelligence points, and its value seems higher.

Purchase intelligence three!

Title: Tragic! Tianhai Base City Falls, Tens of Millions Dead! What Does the Future Hold for Humanity?

Last night, the city of Tianhai was shrouded in an unknown barrier.

Seven alien gods participated in this cataclysmic event, including the fish-man god Luster Bode and the progenitor of blood, Dracula It.

"Skysea Base City! Skysea City"

Bai Yu flipped through the pictures: destroyed walls, collapsed high-rise buildings, and smoking armored vehicles.

Judging from many clues, it can be identified as Tianhai City! Especially the Qingyun River in the city center.

Seeing this, Bai Yu was somewhat convinced.

In conclusion, if the reports of flooding and rising soybean prices are true three days later, it's almost certain that these seemingly outrageous pieces of information are also true!

"2057, which is twenty years from now, is neither a long nor a short time."

"The Seven Other Gods—that involves gods, which seems like a formidable opponent. How could mortals grow to the point of being able to contend with deities within just twenty years?!"

"Phew~"

Taking a deep breath, without further ado, Bai Yu bought the last piece of information.

Title: Man, angered by being scammed out of 30 yuan, rams into female livestreamer and flees, resulting in 7 deaths and 5 injuries.

Three days ago, at 11 p.m. on July 12, a man drove his car into a crowd near Yongcheng Street in Jiangnan District, killing seven people and injuring five, before fleeing the scene.

The deceased were Jiang Moumou, Lei Mou, and Bai Mou.

Currently, the Jiangnan District Law Enforcement Bureau

I took a closer look at the time and location.

Bai Yu stood up, walked to the balcony, and looked out at the buildings and the street below.

"Isn't this Yongcheng Subdistrict in Jiangnan District?"

"And there are female anchors too!"

His identity in this world is that of a soon-to-be senior majoring in computer science at Tianhai University.

It's summer vacation now, and he's interning at Thunder Media Company.

The office building across the street is where he works; hundreds of livestreamers go crazy there every day.

He is an editor, responsible for cutting short videos, and earns a monthly salary of six thousand.

"The deceased was surnamed Bai. Damn it, I think I'm the only one in the whole company with the surname Bai and a two-character name!?"

The initial subscription was 1,000, and within a week it rose to 1800 per day. The upward trend is good. The new book received 14,000 favorites in seven days with strong promotion, suppressing all competitors. The smooth writing style is a given. The character issues are all realistic; there's no such thing as "toxic" or "uncomfortable." At most, you could say it's clichéd.

First, this book features a high-level martial arts world invasion theme, following a late-game narrative style, and aims to create a grand worldview as much as possible. (I already have this idea in mind.)

Second, this book will be updated with 120,000 words in seven days. There are still 100,000 words in the backlog. You can rest assured about the high update volume.

Third, this isn't a "nanny-style" novel. It doesn't jump to conclusions from the very first few sentences, offering a one-stop service. I'm realistic; I don't mind readers who haven't seen the book published offering a few complaints, but I won't go on a spree of insults.

The common urban trope of ex-girlfriends and ex-ex-girlfriends inheriting the original owner's relationship is a cliché, but I used it without making it mindless or devoting much of the story to it. Besides, if the opening was perfect, I estimate it would have already gotten two or three thousand first-time subscribers.
