High-tech invasion, I can see the future

Chapter 55 New Cafeteria Items, Recent Strange Cases - Jumping into the River

After Li Yunbin left, Bai Yu naturally began to circulate his energy through the Great Cycle, at least to confirm whether he could obtain the purple fragment today.

If it weren't for the purple fragment, he would naturally have chosen to get his hands on the spell that summons the Spirit of Thunder.

As a result, after only one cycle, there was another knock on the door.

Bai Yu was curious; who exactly was it?

Upon opening the door, one sees Liu Feifei.

"Ta-da~"

Liu Feifei seemed to want to give a surprise, and she certainly had that kind of lively personality.

Seeing this scene, Bai Yu felt a warmth in his heart.

It must be because of what happened yesterday; Sister Feifei wanted to cheer people up.

"They don't even bring a gift when they visit someone's home."

Hearing this, Liu Feifei pouted: "You're so capable, I can't possibly offer you anything you'd like."

"Haha~ that's true. By the way, what brings you here, Sister Feifei?"

"Can't I contact you if there's nothing wrong?"

"Of course not."

"Hmph! Can't I ask you to go to the cafeteria with me? I'll also take this opportunity to see what you're capable of."

Hearing the drawn-out sound, Bai Yu thought to himself, "What am I supposed to look at? Oh, it's my strength. Never mind then."

Upon hearing this, Bai Yu didn't stand on ceremony: "The space inside is too small, I can't move around freely. Let me show you outside."

Bureau of Investigation.

Building No. 3, training ground.

Bai Yu activated his palm lightning technique, and he was currently able to connect one of the four routes, which meant activating seven acupoints.

Blue lightning gathered in his hand.

Watch this, Five Thunder Heavenly Gang Technique!

ha~

"Boom!"

Lightning flashed and lingered in the air for a while before slowly dissipating.

Then look at the data monitoring on the side.

Destructive power: 5.6~6.9

Energy level: 100~120

Bai Yu clearly remembered his strength when he first arrived:

Destructive power: 3.5~4.8

Energy level: 50~80

The improvement speed is even faster than expected!

Moreover, this was without him using the scepter.

If he were to use the scepter, he felt he could unleash power at level nine!

However, to avoid being too flashy, I didn't choose to test it.

Seeing this, Liu Feifei exclaimed, "You're improving way too fast!"

That envious look in her eyes really provides a lot of emotional value.

Bai Yu wasn't exactly modest either. He rubbed his nose with his thumb and said rather smugly, "That's right! Don't you know who I am?"

"I won't need anyone to protect me anymore~"

"People have to grow up eventually."

"This growth rate is monstrous! You've only been with us for nine days! Who else can grow this fast?"

Hurry up, why are you thinking the wrong thing again?

Liu Feifei, on the other hand, wore a dejected expression and then drew out the fire whip she had obtained from the treasure vault.

"Then I'll try out the new spiritual magic."

As she spoke, Liu Feifei began to wield her long whip, creating streaks of fire that hovered in the air around her.

After gathering more than thirty fire marks, it instantly charged forward.

To be honest, it looks quite dazzling.

Bai Yu was also curious about its power.

"Boom!"

The intense heat of the flames permeated the air, and the special material of the walls rapidly absorbed the spiritual energy of the area.

The screen next to it was also displaying numbers.

Destructive power: 12.2~14.4

Energy level: 800~1100

Upon seeing this number, Bai Yu's smile froze.

"???"

"What's going on? Isn't the captain only level 14?"

Liu Feifei, on the other hand, had a smug look on her face. Seeing Bai Yu's shocked expression, her smile became even brighter. She said, "Hmph~! Level 14 was just the lower limit of the captain's test a few months ago."

"How was it? Do you still need me to protect you from now on?"

Bai Yu:.

"So, after what happened yesterday, you're just messing with me this morning, huh?"

"Isn't that more interesting?"

"I'm done with love, goodbye."

"Don't do that~"

"We're not close, don't contact me."

Bai Yu originally felt a great sense of accomplishment from this improvement, but who knew that the gap was still so big!

However, being stimulated is good, so as to prevent one from getting too carried away.

Moreover, it's quite amusing to see Fei Fei looking like she's made a mistake behind me.

canteen.

Early in the morning, everyone heard the news of the new product launch.

"Ten-Ingredient Tonic Soup? Does it use ten kinds of spiritual ingredients? Isn't it too expensive?"

"What we should be considering is whether Professor Wang's new product will cause diarrhea."

"Indeed! I've heard that Professor Wang's entire lineage, from ingredients and medicines to some kind of spiritual oil fruit they cultivated before, all have the amazing effect of helping with diarrhea and weight loss."

"Cough~ cough cough~!"

Just then, a cough was heard.

The young investigator who was saying "helps with diarrhea and weight loss" suddenly froze.

He turned around somewhat awkwardly and found Professor Wang Wen standing in line behind him.

Seeing this, he quickly stepped aside, saying, "Professor, please go first!"

"Yes, yes, professor, please go first!"

Professor Wang was not one to stand on ceremony. After ordering some food, he walked over to Bai Yu and the others who were having breakfast.

When they arrived at Bai Yu's table, they saw the lavish breakfast Bai Yu had ordered, worth at least sixty or seventy contribution points, and laughed, "You've got some money, huh? You've got a pretty good meal!"

Bai Yu replied without hesitation, "That's right! I make money like water, faster than a money printing machine. I definitely need to eat well to quickly improve my strength."

"Hehe~"

Professor Wang Wen glanced at Bai Yu's plate, picked out a seedless longan worth 20 contribution points, put it on his own plate, and left gracefully.

Bai Yu's eyes widened. He turned to look at the departing Professor Wang, remained silent for a moment, and then muttered, "Is this something a human being would do?"

Bai Yu was thinking to himself, "This old guy's quick on the uptake. I didn't expect him to be selling it in the cafeteria today. Two pounds of soup for one contribution point, one pound of meat for two contribution points—that's outrageous! How much can he possibly earn?"

"Never mind, we'll just split the profits when the time comes."

Today, with the launch of the new product, everyone's attention was more or less focused on Professor Wang.

Many people naturally witnessed this scene.

Most people never expected that Professor Wang would be involved with Bai Yu! And at first glance, the two seem to have a good relationship, as if they have been together for quite some time.

Group 8 leader Jiang Yan and Group 9 leader Hu Chengyong exchanged a glance.

The two stood up, took their plates, and sat down directly on the seventh group's side.

Hu Chengyong still had that stubble-faced look, but with that smug grin, he said, "Haha, we came here to talk about the distribution of contribution points."

Li Yunbin decisively said, "Our group of seven will receive 15,000, and each of you will receive 7,500."

"Hey! Why should we? We all went into battle together, and no one did more work than anyone else."

As he spoke, he turned to Jiang Yan and asked, "Right?"

Jiang Yan, a straightforward and outspoken girl with a fiery temper, slammed her hand on the table and exclaimed, "Indeed! Why should Group Seven be divided into even more groups?"

The people around remained completely calm despite the three groups appearing ready to fight.

These are all basic operations!

Li Yunbin said calmly, "It's distributed according to the degree of contribution, so there's nothing unfair about it."

Hu Chengyong laughed and said, "It's based on contribution? Then Team Leader Li should explain what your team's contribution made that deserves a larger share. That's more reasonable, isn't it?"

As he spoke, Hu Chengyong's hand was still on Bai Yu's shoulder, and his eyes kept glancing at Bai Yu.

This was also their initial goal: to find out what secrets Bai Yu had, and why, judging from yesterday's conversation and the reactions of Director Yang and others, Bai Yu seemed to be the mastermind behind this incident!

Logically, shouldn't it be Director Yang? After all, Director Yang has that kind of ability.

Another rather strange point is that Bai Yu was actually present beforehand, and his combat prowess was quite impressive! The Thunder Staff in his hand was also peculiar.

His relationship with Professor Wang Wen was also quite strange.

Everything is strange; there's nothing normal about it.

They were naturally incredibly curious!

I was itching to ask, so of course I had to.

Before Li Yunbin could figure out how to answer, Liu Feifei couldn't help but slap Hu Chengyong's hand away, saying, "Don't touch our Bai Yu if you don't have to."

"Are you two dating?"

Liu Feifei was taken aback by this question, paused for a moment, and then blushed.

Hu Chengyong exclaimed loudly, "Haha~ If there's no negotiation, then it belongs to everyone!"

At this moment, Li Yunbin calmly said, "Then let's make it 10,000 per group."

"Forehead"

These words made Hu Chengyong's face stiffen.

Their main purpose in coming here was simply to find out what secrets Bai Yu had, not to rob him.

After all, judging from the development of the whole thing, the seventh group seemed to have made a great contribution and they completely agreed to take 15000.

The remaining 7500 was practically free money for them. They've never earned so easily before!

Now that Li Yunbin suddenly said it would cost 10,000 per group, they were caught off guard.

Hu Chengyong and Jiang Yan exchanged glances, creating an awkward atmosphere.

However, Hu Chengyong's unique personality means he can say anything without causing any conflict.

He then said, "Hey, if you can't say, you can't say. Let's stick to your arrangement: you get 15000, and our two groups get 7500 each."

Liu Feifei gave a haughty "humph".

Taking this opportunity, Hu Chengyong said, "It just so happens that the three of us group leaders haven't been communicating much lately. Let's use this chance to talk about the current situation."

"The group of murlocs I'm in charge of, although they were badly damaged, have been causing quite a stir lately!"

When it came to serious matters, the three team leaders became quite earnest.

Group leader Jiang Yan had a lot of grievances to share!

Their group was mainly responsible for dragon-blooded creatures, which were actually lizardmen. However, these lizardmen liked to call themselves the dragon race and loved to develop bloodline purification potions, pretending to be dragons.

The lizardmen's methods of corrupting humans also involve using drugs and similar substances to conduct profit-making transactions and corrupt human members.

These guys drink potions, which is equivalent to cultivation, and it's difficult for various instruments to detect; at most, a blood test can be performed.

So the hardest ones to find are the guys who collude with the lizardmen!

The Eighth Group has been busy for half a month and has only managed to catch a group of criminal gangs led by real estate developers. There are about 30 people in total, and their fighting ability is not low after taking the drug.

Most of the time, Group Eight spends capturing scattered alien monsters to earn contribution points.

For Hu Chengyong, the leader of Group Nine, things couldn't be more comfortable these days!

The authorities launched a major operation against the Murlocs, and they've uncovered quite a few!

However, Hu Chengyong still sighed and said, "Sigh, these murlocs weren't caught by my group alone. Didn't you guys also get a lot of credit?"

"Besides, it was your Group Seven who found the merfolk in the first place, so you deserve all the credit for that."

As he spoke, he glanced at Bai Yu.

He was really curious about this newcomer!

But judging from Li Yunbin's reaction, it seems that this newcomer's secret cannot be revealed.

Thinking back to that night, when it was clearly a fateful encounter, he hadn't even tried to seduce this newcomer.

Sigh~ Just thinking about it makes him regretful, regretful, and angry!!

After pausing for a moment, he continued, "And recently a strange thing has happened."

"What's wrong?"

"Recently, there have been more than ten cases of suicide by jumping into the river. Initially, ordinary law enforcement officers were in charge of the investigation. After the initial investigation, they found that before these people jumped into the river, they suddenly became unusually irritable and their behavior was somewhat abnormal."

"They felt something was amiss, so they handed the case over to our investigation bureau."

"Sigh, after investigating for two or three days, and receiving several reports of people jumping into the river—we rushed there as quickly as possible and even deployed underwater equipment—we still couldn't find any bodies in the water! Isn't that strange?"

"Moreover, after we made some inquiries, we learned that after these people jumped into the river, they sank directly to the bottom, without even struggling in the water."

"This is really strange!!!"

After Hu Chengyong finished speaking, everyone began to discuss.

Such bizarre events attract a lot of attention, and if left unresolved, they could potentially lead to a major disaster.

Bai Yu was thinking to himself, "When I was looking at Li Yunbin's intelligence, I got information on three cases. Now, I'm only missing the Blood Pool case."

"But this time it's clearly unrelated to the blood pool."

"Looks like we'll have to wait and see if there's any information about a series of cases."
