High-tech invasion, I can see the future

Chapter 2 Fate Changed, Files - The Blue Lake Fish Monster

The deceased was surnamed Bai.

Upon seeing this text, cold sweat trickled down Bai Yu's forehead.

He's so thick-skinned that he accepted the first two extraordinary messages in such a short time.

The floods have affected two million people.

The destruction of the city resulted in the deaths of millions!

Seeing these cold, hard numbers, he did feel something, but not much.

After all, there's still a long time to go, and even if it's a disaster in Tianhai City, he can slip away beforehand, even if he can't change it.

But he never imagined that he would actually pass away tomorrow.

When death is imminent, he certainly won't be able to remain calm.

"Judging from the news headline, this guy wasn't after me, but wanted to kill a female anchor. It seems like a normal revenge killing, and I just happened to run him over and died in the process."

Bai Yu muttered to himself, trying to clear his mind.

"It wasn't some supernatural creature wreaking havoc; it seems like a fate that can be completely reversed."

"Then I'll just take tomorrow off and stay home. I want to see who can kill me!"

Although that's what he said, Bai Yu was still a little worried.

After learning that supernatural powers might exist in this world, he felt very insecure.

"It seems that my cheat system is related to intelligence. Hopefully, it will provide me with some information that will allow me to become a superhuman."

With a silent prayer in her heart and mixed thoughts, Bai Yu went to the bathroom and took a hot shower.

After washing up, it was time for him to go to bed, but he couldn't fall asleep. So he turned on his computer and started searching for news articles, wanting to see if there were any abnormalities in the world now.

When I look at those "bizarre" news stories again with a different perspective...

He suddenly realized that in recent years, there have been many more legends about water monsters, sea monsters, encounters with wild men on icebergs, and lizardmen in sewers!

Of course, there are also outrageous ones, such as the claim that Ultraman fossils were unearthed in the East China Sea, which is just a hoax for elementary school students.

Looking at these news reports, Bai Yu couldn't help but feel that the world was much more complicated than he had imagined!

The next morning, at seven o'clock.

Bai Yu rarely wakes up early.

"Hiss~"

As soon as I sat up, I felt sore all over.

However, this did not stop him from looking at the golden finger immediately.

Sure enough, four new pieces of intelligence emerged.

Intelligence 1 (Gray)

Keywords: Special Investigations Bureau

Required intelligence points: 1

Intelligence 2 (Gray)

Keywords: fish monster

Required intelligence points: 1

Intelligence 3 (White)

Keywords: life experience

Required intelligence points: 5

Intelligence 4 (Green)

Keywords: Serial promotion

Required intelligence points: 20

"I only have eight intelligence points left, enough to buy just the first three."

As he said this, Bai Yu also checked whether the daily tasks had been refreshed.

Upon closer inspection, it has indeed been refreshed.

And the content is the same as yesterday: 100 squats, push-ups, sit-ups, and a 10-kilometer run.

"Gray, white, and green—it looks like a quality classification for intelligence. There should be higher quality ones later on, and they'll probably be more expensive, right? I don't have enough points to buy them in a day."

"If that's the case, we can't waste intelligence points."

However, since this is the initial stage of establishing an understanding of this world, Bai Yu still decisively obtained the first three pieces of information.

On January 9, 2021, representatives of extraordinary individuals from various administrative regions of Earth held a meeting and announced the establishment of a special investigation bureau worldwide to deal with extraordinary events during the spiritual resurgence.

"2021!? Isn't that sixteen years ago!?"

"Is this the point in time when this world began to transcendentalism?"

Bai Yu was actually quite excited when he saw this news. At least from this point of view, the world had long been prepared to deal with supernatural beings, and he was not the only one carrying the burden.

The catastrophe I witnessed could perhaps have been avoided!

Let's move on to the second piece of information.

[Archive - Qinghu Fish Monster]

File Number: SIB-2037-072

File entry time: 2037.08.07

File status: Captured

Death scene.jpg

Basic Information:

Name - Wang Yongjian

First offense: Yongcheng Subdistrict, Jiangnan District - traffic accident resulting in 3 deaths and 5 injuries.

The information provided is limited, clearly only a very small part of the file.

Bai Yu examined the photo closely. It resembled a legendary fish-man, with many wounds on its body and some parts charred black, likely caused by an attack from supernatural forces.

The face is not completely distorted, and the person's appearance can still be seen, especially the obvious black mole on the tip of the nose.

If I saw it, I don't know if I would recognize it.

"I didn't expect the culprit to be a fish-man monster. This is troublesome."

"However, the number of dead and injured is 3 and 5, which is a huge change compared to yesterday's 7 dead and 5 injured. It's a pity that the names of the deceased are not known now."

Let's look at the third piece of information.

Bai Yu - Death Archives

Position: Level 1 General Investigator

Date of death: December 28, 2037

Description: During the investigation of the Blood Pool incident, you will enter the Blood Pool area with other team members to assist the elite squad in investigating and collecting evidence.

During this time, the blood pool suddenly erupted with a powerful energy surge, causing Bai Yu's immediate death. The preliminary assessment is that the energy surge triggered internal organ rupture and severe bleeding.

"."

"I died again! But thankfully it's six months later. And I'm certain I won't die tonight."

"However, the information provided doesn't seem to have taken into account the subsequent effects of the cheat system. Otherwise, with a cheat system, it would be too embarrassing for a transmigrator to be so useless."

After seeing this information, Bai Yu looked at the fish monster in front of him again.

Recalling the seven alien gods mentioned in yesterday's information about the city's destruction.

The god of fishmen, the ancestral god of blood.

The Green Lake Fish Monster, Blood Pool!

It seems that during this period, the power of this alien god had already taken hold in Tianhai City.

The reason that intelligence was worth five intelligence points was probably because it mentioned seven alien gods.

"By the way, it seems that yesterday's intelligence can no longer be viewed."

Seeing this, Bai Yu quickly grabbed a thick notebook and carefully recalled the information of the seven alien gods. He remembered the prefixes such as the Fishman God, but the names were somewhat vague.

Fortunately, I remembered everything and wrote it down in my notebook, which made me feel relieved.

Afterwards, Bai Yu memorized all the intelligence information from yesterday and today.

After finishing his work, Bai Yu glanced at the remaining intelligence points and the fourth intelligence he hadn't redeemed that day.

Rank promotion!

"Is it similar to a mysterious, sequential cultivation system?"

"This might be information related to the extraordinary cultivation system. I should exchange for it as soon as possible and learn more about it."

After reading the intelligence, Bai Yu thought for a moment, took out his phone, and first opened WeChat.

I sent a message to my manager asking for two days off.

Then I sent a message to Zhang Youpeng, my intern colleague, friend, and college roommate, asking him to take leave as well, saying that he was feeling the urge to play football and wanted to play in the afternoon.

Even if he wasn't on the death list, his fate has changed, so we still need to take precautions.

The other party did not reply immediately.

This job requires starting work at 2 PM every day and working until 11 PM, so I'm used to going to bed late and waking up late.

"This guy is probably still sleeping, so I'll go take care of my futures business first."

After saying that, Bai Yu began searching for futures exchanges and found the Tianhai City Futures Exchange Market, which was six kilometers away.

"The exchange opens at nine o'clock, and it's only seven-thirty now. I can finish the three tasks like push-ups first, and then walk over. I can complete all four tasks at once and get the fourth piece of intelligence."

As for ordering breakfast delivery, that's safer.

After the night rain, the air was filled with a fresh, earthy scent.

Bai Yu walked along the damp street, passing a small park.

In the park, elderly people are doing their morning exercises, practicing Tai Chi, and taking a walk. Pet dogs are baring their teeth at each other, but they are unusually well-behaved in front of children.

Bai Yu had walked those six kilometers with a heart full of fear, but seeing this scene brought him a sense of peace.

Unfortunately, this tranquility is only superficial; the world is far more complex than what we see before us.

"Phew~"

After walking for a few more minutes, we arrived at the gate of the futures exchange.

This is a place where wealth and risk coexist.

In the futures market, dramatic changes in wealth occur every day.

This is a place where dreams and nightmares intertwine; everyone who enters here is gambling on a game of fate.

Bai Yu took a deep breath, still feeling somewhat uneasy, but he knew he had to take the risk.

While the order has not yet collapsed, making money remains an important means of survival!

With this in mind, Bai Yu stepped into the futures exchange.
