High-tech invasion, I can see the future

Chapter 38 Dark and Hard, the Fishman Provokes

Everyone was aware of Bai Yu's special status.

So Bai Yu chose this scepter, and everyone immediately became curious about whether this scepter held a great secret.

The administrator also took out a tablet and brought up the research data on the treasure.

He said with a hint of regret, "This thing has been in the treasure vault for more than five years, and has been studied seven times, but there has been no real progress."

"However, it is resistant to extreme temperatures and cold, and it was not damaged at all when attacked by a Spirit Origin Realm expert. It is definitely a treasure."

Upon hearing this explanation, one would normally feel regret and give up.

However, the team members remained calm.

That makes sense! That's fucking reasonable!

as expected.

Bai Yu glanced at the research report and realized it was true! The first paragraph conveyed the same information.

The only difference is that the document from the Investigation Bureau is much longer, containing over a thousand words.

From this perspective, intelligence reports are all shortened versions of information.

After thinking for a moment, Bai Yu said, "I feel that my ancient god artifact has some kind of connection with this item. Can I use my quota to exchange for this item?"

The administrator was somewhat surprised, then replied, "Of course!"

"These unexplored treasures are kept in the vault to await a destined person. Perhaps someone will be able to discover their functions."

"It's better for someone to use this treasure than for it to sit in this warehouse collecting dust."

This world has a rather unique system, clearly hiding many secrets, and naturally there are many items that need to be studied.

For example, the ascension items of ancient gods

Before Bai Yu could reveal too much, Li Yunbin said, "Since it's connected to your ancient god artifact, let's choose this one. The team will also do their best to help you with your research."

"Thank you, Captain!"

"Um."

The administrator standing nearby didn't see anything wrong. Since someone wanted to choose and it complied with the rules, they simply registered them.

Bai Yu was very excited.

He had a slight understanding of the concept of a Level 5 Treasure Vault today. Those were treasures that even Fourth Realm experts dreamed of!

It should be noted that in the current spiritual energy environment, there are fewer than a hundred experts at the fourth level in Tianhai City.

Tianhai City, however, is a megacity with a population of tens of millions!

Unfortunately, I don't know the specific steps to activate the scepter.

"Judging from the information, it was done by people in the lab. They consumed 500,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity in twenty minutes!!!"

Having used cheap electricity extensively in a previous life, one might think this is nothing, just two or three hundred thousand.

However, the energy contained in so much electricity is absolutely unimaginable.

One kilowatt-hour of electricity is equivalent to the complete combustion of 120 grams of coal.

Five hundred thousand degrees means the complete combustion of sixty tons of coal.

"Upon closer inspection, the amount of energy this tiny scepter can absorb is truly astonishing."

While Li Yunbin continued selecting treasures, Bai Yu was planning his next move.

"If you need to use the laboratory, then you'll need to contact Professor Wang Wen."

"Professor Wang Wen, let's see who loses patience first."

"I still have the formula for Red Horse Herbal Elixir. A remedy to unblock meridians is exactly what Professor Wang Wen wants right now!"

Thinking of this, Bai Yu didn't sit idle either. He was planning to use his more than 10,000 contribution points to buy more materials and prepare Red Horse Herbal Elixir.

While you're at it, buy some high-quality spiritual fruits to temper your body and cleanse your meridians.

No matter how effective Red Horse Herbal Elixir is, it can never compare to top-quality natural treasures.

Bai Yu spent a full two hours in the treasure vault, making a purchase that cost a total of 10,000 contribution points!

As for Li Yunbin, after much deliberation, he finally acquired a whip containing abundant fire-attribute energy.

This item was given to Liu Feifei.

With Liu Feifei's personality, it was naturally difficult for her to hide her excitement!

"Yay (＾－＾)V, thank you captain!"

"I love the captain so much~ hehe~"

Li Yunbin smiled helplessly and said, "Once you have weapons, don't get carried away in battle. Always be mindful of your safety."

"Understood! Understood! Don't worry."

On the way back, Liu Feifei was naturally very happy.

She even gave Bai Yu a haughty snort: "Hmph! If you ever call me stupid again, I'll slap you with this."

Bai Yu smiled helplessly, thinking to himself, "Once I activate the scepter, I'll shock you."

Emm

It feels a bit perverted.

After a moment of excitement, Liu Feifei asked curiously, "By the way, what's it about this wooden stick that you've taken a liking to?"

Bai Yu gently stroked it and said in a very formal manner, "Look at it, it's black, thick, hard, and long."

The other team members, who had been listening intently, fell silent.

Liu Feifei blushed, then said, "Hmph! You scoundrel!"

After a moment of silence, he added, "But shouldn't this be what girls like?"

Bai Yu:? ? ?

I need to brake!

Jiang Chen and Zhao Bin looked out the car window speechlessly, while Wanqing blushed.

Night falls.

inside the house.

Bai Yu bought bottles and jars of medicine-making equipment in advance.

I glanced at the materials I had acquired from the treasure vault, such as red horse grass and silver grass.

"Let's get started!"

"It's all about realism!"

After working for half an hour, Bai Yu looked at the solution, which was full of green sediment.

"This doesn't seem right. The information said it was a solution that was green mixed with red."

"Let's try it again!"

I got three more bottles, each different: black, white, and red.

I felt a little helpless for a moment. The steps were clearly correct!

He slowed down again, got another bottle, which matched the information, but he didn't dare drink it, fearing it might cause someone's death.

So I got another bottle, and it also met the requirements.

He gradually realized that the problem lay in the stirring process, and that the two bottles did indeed meet the requirements!

I breathed a sigh of relief, took a small sip, and tasted it.

After digesting it, I circulated the exercise again and found that it did have some effect.

Only then did they start drinking freely.

After finishing one bottle of the medicine, I tried running the cycle twice.

"Phew~ It takes an average of fifteen minutes for a cycle. That's fast!"

"【It can greatly improve the speed of energy cultivation and the efficiency of spiritual energy absorption】, the effect is no exaggeration."

He could sense that if he cultivated at this efficiency, his cultivation speed would be 3 to 5 times faster than before! He would most likely be able to increase his spiritual energy by two to three hundred in about ten days.

In about a year, I estimate I should be able to reach the peak of the Qi Gathering Realm.

Of course, this is the ideal situation; there will definitely be many problems during the cultivation process.

But this is still quite exaggerated! It truly shows how technology can change one's destiny.

"Moreover, I'm using a cultivation method from eight years in the future. I wonder how many times faster my cultivation speed will be compared to others, all things considered."

He's definitely not in a hurry to test things out right now; he'll just quietly focus on developing his skills.

I glanced at the time and realized it was already 2:30 a.m.

Before going to bed, he checked the intelligence reports. He had already accumulated 24 intelligence points, which was enough to buy quite a lot of intelligence.

Intelligence 1 (Gray)

Keywords: attack on demonstration

Required intelligence points: 1

Intelligence 2 (Gray)

Keywords: thugs

Required intelligence points: 1

Intelligence 3 (White)

Keywords: Advanced Murloc

Required intelligence points: 5

Intelligence 4 (White)

Keywords: bar owner

Required intelligence points: 5

"???"

"They all seem to be the same type of information. They didn't even give any information about the vampire baron."

After some consideration, he obtained the first piece of intelligence.

[Announcement from the Tianhai City Special Investigation Bureau Headquarters:]

At 11:17 pm last night, a low-level merman revealed his true form in a crowded winery bar, resulting in 4 deaths and 11 injuries.

We are deeply saddened by the fact that the fishmen's violent acts have resulted in the deaths and injuries of innocent civilians.

This incident is the merfolk's revenge against the so-called "Great Purge Operation," and a blatant provocation against our bureau!

In view of the seriousness of this incident and the grave threat it poses to public safety, our bureau has made a major decision to immediately take action and conduct a 30-day comprehensive investigation and eradication operation of all known fishmonger hideouts throughout the city!

Any provocative behavior will be resolutely cracked down upon!

Release time: 9:7 AM, July 18, 2037

Bai Yu quickly glanced at it.

"Last night. Release time"

"Isn't that the murder case that happened tonight? The winery bar isn't even in the Gangnam district."

Judging from the current situation, this case may not be a big one, but its impact is extremely negative.

"Their true form was revealed on the spot; I'm afraid hundreds of people saw it, right?"

The first encounter with extraordinary beings is bound to be chaotic.

"This should just be the trigger; the key is the comprehensive purge that follows."

After joining the Investigation Bureau, he has been gathering information and now knows that there are actually dozens of otherworldly forces in Tianhai City.

They are definitely not on good terms with each other!

If the Investigation Bureau concentrates all its efforts on eliminating the Fishmen, it will inevitably cripple them, or even wipe them out, which would be great news for other factions.

This is also a deterrent action, letting those arrogant alien races know that I have more than enough strength to deal with just one of them.

Don't be so arrogant as to cross the line.

"The case of Zhang Yuqi, the Fishman's Kin, has already made me shine enough. There's no need to work on so many small cases now."

"Let's hold off on exchanging other intelligence for now. Let's at least wait and see how things develop."

Fall asleep.
