High-tech invasion, I can see the future

Chapter 69 Obscuring Heavenly Secrets, Encountering an Acquaintance at the Futures Market Closing

Qingyun River, Yunhu Lake, Qinghu Lake.

Many of the lurking fishmen have surfaced.

Didn't the priests tell them to stand by, ready to launch an attack on humanity at any time?

The rain's gone? What's the point of playing now?!

Let's all go home.

But the way the rain stopped looks really strange.

In a dark corner.

Seeing the rain suddenly stop in the sky, the priest in the shadows paused the large magic circle beneath his feet.

He then angrily exclaimed, "Damn it!"

She immediately used her magic, drawing upon divine power, to investigate who had stopped the torrential rain.

"Hmm? Divine protection? What kind of method is this?"

After calmly considering the situation, she felt that a powerful superhuman who was unknown to her must have appeared in Tianhai City.

If these things haven't been investigated yet

"If we rashly carry out the tidal ritual, our clan's influence in Tianhai City will likely suffer a severe blow and be unable to develop any further."

In the past few days, the merfolk have suffered a massive purge, with so many being wiped out, but at least those at the Spirit Sea Realm have not been harmed.

"Tianhai City is an important stronghold of the human race, and we must not easily damage its foundation."

"Hmph! Then I'll let you go for now."

That's what she said, but the more she thought about it, the angrier she got!

The main problem is that it's unclear who predicted the treasure in Yunhu in advance, and now has the ability to stop the torrential rain.

This is so strange! She didn't find anything at all.

Someone must have been covering up the secrets of heaven.

"We don't yet know who the powerful human involved is, so it's best to cease our actions!"

The events of today have directly disrupted the fish-men's further plans.

On the surface, it may seem like just a rain shower, but the investigation bureau's top brass and the alien races have a lot to consider afterward.

The drainage department of Tianhai City responded quickly to the accumulated rainwater and began to deal with it rapidly, completing the road dredging work in a short period of time.

Dinner time.

canteen.

Li Yunbin appeared to still be cultivating and was not present.

Bai Yu walked towards Liu Feifei and the others, only to find that all the team members were looking at him.

"What's wrong? Do I look more handsome?"

Liu Feifei snorted: "Hmph! You've got quite the thick skin, how smug of you."

"Come on, eat properly."

After dinner, the group did not go on patrol, at least to avoid trouble.

On the way back to their lodgings, Liu Feifei couldn't wait to ask, "Did the little white dragon make the rain stop?"

"Um."

"Then I'll go to your room, can I call it out?"

"I'll ask her."

The little white dragon's voice carried a hint of joy: "Okay~"

Bai Yu relayed the message: "She said she wanted to sleep."

"Huh? Okay."

The little white dragon, puzzled and slightly annoyed, asked, "Why did you lie to this older sister?"

"Just teasing her, it's fun. Haha."

"Hmph! You bad guy!"

Afterwards, Bai Yu didn't hide anything and led everyone back to the room, where the white dragon was also released.

With no patrol duties, everyone gathered together to look at the white dragon, which was quite interesting.

The little white dragon looks quite cute, and its voice sounds like that of a cute little girl, giving it a rather adorable feel.

Everyone was also communicating with Bai Jiao, sharing their worldviews, which saved Bai Yu from shouting himself hoarse.

After everyone left, Bai Yu began to record the two pieces of information he had obtained that day.

Upon seeing the information about the third-stage vampire modifier, Bai Yu was also considering whether to tell the others in Group Seven and then arrest them on the spot.

Or should we let this guy buy it, take a picture of his face, hand it over to the investigation bureau, and then track his movements to see if we can catch the big fish by following the clues?

Who knows, we might unearth some big fish like a new researcher of the Sinful Blood Potion!

"By the way, Bai Ling, what's your strength?"

Bai Ling was the name that was chosen after everyone discussed it with Bai Jiao that night.

"They should be in the mid-stage of the third realm by now, right?"

"That's a bit weak."

"Hmph! You're only at the Qi Gathering Realm, trash."

Bai Yu: Damn it, that's a word Liu Feifei just said, and you've already learned it!

"Okay, the Spirit Origin Realm is pretty strong."

Actually, Bai Yu also wanted to ask if Xiao Baijiao was behind the river-jumping incident.

But if it really is related, I feel the situation might be a bit awkward.

Let's see if there will be any follow-up events to the river-jumping incident.

Since there was nothing to do today, Bai Yu briefly jotted down what he needed to do tomorrow: the futures transactions needed to be settled. He should head to the antique street early and find the Ink Abyss Divine Brush.

He then began his cultivation and fell into a deep sleep.

It's not even six o'clock yet.

Bai Yu then woke up.

A crisp, cheerful voice rang out: "Good morning!"

Bai Yu stretched and, upon hearing the adorable voice, couldn't help but smile: "Good morning, Bai Ling!"

He then directly revealed his intelligence panel, indicating that the Flood Dragon Pearl was definitely unavoidable in his soul sea.

Intelligence 1 (Gray)

Keywords: Wang Haobin

Required intelligence points: 1

Intelligence 2 (White)

Keywords: Wang Mengmeng

Required intelligence points: 5

Intelligence 3 (Green)

Keywords: Heavenly Thunder Tempering Method

Required intelligence points: 20

Intelligence 4 (Green)

Keywords: Murloc Warlock

Required intelligence points: 20

Bai Yu quickly glanced at the keywords.

This intelligence report is really terrible!

And this guy is his roommate, he doesn't even know what kind of underwear he wears.

The key point is that this guy has been back for a week and hasn't gone back to his dorm. His girlfriend has also returned to school, and the two of them walked out of the school gate together.

It's obvious what they're doing! They're having sex!

Meow meow meow! Forgetting friends for the sake of beauty.

"There's no need to waste a single intelligence point."

"Huh? What is Brother Baiyu saying?"

This left Bai Yu bewildered, and he couldn't help but ask, "Can't you see it?"

"What do you see?"

Bai Yu's eyes darted around; he had never dared to show off his cheat ability to anyone else.

So nobody could see it after all!

He then said, "I'm looking at something special. This is something only you and I can know; you can't tell anyone else."

Bai Ling readily agreed: "Okay."

She could only sound regretful, though.

After eliminating the first one, Bai Yu immediately looked at the second piece of information.

What's puzzling is that he's never heard of this person before!

It looks like a girl.

Will we meet today?

Let's wait until we encounter it before deciding.

The next two pieces of information include the Heavenly Thunder Body Tempering Technique, which seems to be for increasing strength! He definitely has to exchange for this one.

As for Murloc Warlock, we'll see.

His main focus now is capturing vampires and solving the major blood pool case mentioned in the intelligence!

The merman was already severely injured, so there was no need for him to spend a full 20 intelligence points just to capture a Spirit Origin Realm level character.

After considering it, Bai Yu began his training for the day.

After quickly obtaining thirty points, Bai Yu did not rush to exchange for information on the Heavenly Thunder Tempering Technique.

There's no need to rush this. Let's see what happens today before deciding whether to exchange it.

If this murloc warlock is targeting me today, then I definitely have to choose this intelligence!

Nine o'clock in the morning.

Bai Yu greeted the others in the group and then went out, intending to finalize the exchange contract before getting the Ink Abyss Divine Brush.

Although the others were worried, they also knew that Bai Yu's ability was to predict good and bad fortune, and that he was currently accompanied by a dragon, so his safety was relatively guaranteed. Therefore, they did not try to dissuade him.

When I arrived by taxi, the exchange was already open.

Before Bai Yu arrived, he also sent a message to trader Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen, on the other hand, was much more enthusiastic!

After all, judging from Bai Yu's purchase of soybean futures, his assets have increased fivefold or more!

I walked into the building and looked around.

There are quite a few people!

Bai Yu quickly found the trader, Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen also saw Bai Yu approaching and stood up enthusiastically, saying, "Haha~ Mr. Bai is here. Your soybean futures contract is settling today. I'm processing it now, it should take a few minutes."

"OK."

It wasn't particularly complicated to handle, and trader Xiao Chen took the opportunity to ask, "Mr. Bai, do you want to withdraw this money, or do you want to leave it in the account to buy other futures?"

Before Bai Yu arrived, he reviewed the information about oil futures.

On July 29, 2037, multiple oil refineries in the Seventeenth Administrative District experienced explosions.

Within a week, international crude oil futures prices surged from 482.5 federal dollars per barrel to 553 federal dollars per barrel.

The increase was only 14.6%, which is just a doubling of assets, not a huge profit.

"Hmm, let me check the charts of the major futures markets first."

"Yes, Mr. Bai."

Bai Yu was just going through the motions of looking at the futures chart. It took him about twenty minutes to return to Xiao Chen.

The price at the time of settlement was 3.54 Federal Dollars per kilogram. After deducting the 20 deposit placed there, Bai Yu's actual profit was 108.8.

It feels like making money is so easy!

Trader Xiao Chen replied, "Mr. Bai, the contract has been processed."

"Okay, then take one million from the account and buy oil futures."

"oil?"

Xiao Chen sounded somewhat puzzled.

Commodities like oil and gold are unlikely to experience significant fluctuations when the world order is stable.

Unlike commodities like soybeans, which are controlled by certain groups that can manipulate prices.

Given the current situation, oil prices are fluctuating wildly, making it difficult to profit.

A sudden drop could force liquidation.

But thinking about it, Bai Yu looks young and doesn't know much about finance. Maybe he just got lucky and bought soybean futures.

Now that I have a million in capital, I can make a lot of money even with small fluctuations, so there is no need to make any more aggressive investments.

He was just a trader, so naturally he didn't say much and just did his job.

The next step was the operational procedure, but while Bai Yu was waiting, someone walked towards Xiao Chen.

At first, Bai Yu didn't notice, and the other person didn't see Bai Yu clearly either.

He simply walked over to the trader and said calmly, "Xiao Chen, deposit one million."

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly noticed Bai Yu, paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Bai Yu, what are you doing here?"

Bai Yu glanced at the man, somewhat surprised: "Deputy Director Xu!"

Good news: P's new book is highly recommended, and its popularity is slightly better than Sanjiang's. It will be available for purchase next Monday, which is equivalent to a week earlier.

This is important, so I'll say it three times: It will be available next Monday! It will be available next Monday! It will be available next Monday!

There's a lot I want to say about this book, but after thinking about it, I'll put more of it in my book launch remarks.

Here's a brief discussion on the most important issue: uploading and updating content. I'll give you a little hint: I have 14 words saved up.

Don't be fooled by the large number of drafts you have; they can be used up quickly. Last June, I wrote 130 million words for my book, but I actually used up all my drafts in 60 words. I started to lose my footing after that. But that book was a Chinese-themed novel, similar to other books like "Contract Ancestors" from the same period. It was the kind of book that was so exciting it was bound to collapse.

During the initial release period, some plot loops require 10,000 to 20,000 words, which can be frustrating for readers. However, once the book is officially released, things will definitely be much better! The first day of release will have 25,000 words, the second day will have 20,000 words, and thereafter we will maintain 10,000 words per day, with occasional bonus chapters (specific details will be announced after the book is officially released).

I need to ensure I have 5 to 10 words in reserve. Because of this book, you should understand that each long-term intelligence loop doesn't come from nowhere. It's something I refine as I write, so please don't rush me to empty my reserve. I need to have a reserve so I can write with peace of mind.

Finally, I'd like to say that due to the author's penchant for abandoning projects unfinished, everyone's trust level may have decreased significantly. But I've truly just recently achieved enlightenment. For the past four years, I've been writing out of passion, sometimes earning as little as four yuan an hour, and I've written over a million words. With this book, I want to challenge myself. And I'm also waiting to reach level 5, gather everyone into the group, and embark on a grander undertaking with my next book!
