High-tech invasion, I can see the future

Chapter 78 Sixty million!? I hate you just looking at you!

Two fingers, a thumb and a little finger.

"Haha, you're underestimating me! That's the downside of not having studied—there's a whopping 6000 million in this account!"

Bai Yu's eyes widened; this number was something he had never expected.

Even if they have bigger ambitions, they'd probably only reach 20 million.

"Sixty million??? Is that money so easy to earn? It's faster than robbing a bank!"

"See? This is what you call shallow knowledge! Do you even understand the current global economic landscape?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Yu hesitated for a moment, then shook his head: "Well, I really don't know."

"Then I'll be frank. There's an iron mine near Tianhai City, which was originally worth only five billion."

"However, through methods such as the Spirit Gathering Array, precious Black Spirit Iron has now been created. Even just one-thousandth of the iron has undergone mutation, and its estimated value is as high as three hundred billion!"

"And this is just a medium-sized iron ore mine. Think about it carefully: how many resources in the world today could be mined even with extraordinary abilities? How many times greater is the value of those resources than the global economy?"

"Haven't you noticed that since the spiritual energy revived, the economic growth rate of major administrative regions around the world has exceeded 5%? Some are even exceeding 10%."

"There must be a reason why such a massive economic growth can be achieved."

Bai Yu was stunned. Could this really be done?

"Won't this cause inflation?"

"These are resources from the extraordinary world. Only a very small portion is traded in Federal Currency; the vast majority is bartered. The Federal Currency earned from these extraordinary resources is reinvested in economic development and distributed to ordinary people."

As he spoke, Professor Wang Wen adopted a lecturing tone and asked, "Shouldn't you be attending the auction at the end of the month?"

Bai Yu nodded: "Yes, what's wrong?"

"This auction is to raise money to build a grand canal, did you know that?"

"The captain did mention this."

"Yes, this Grand Canal cost at least 100 billion. Previously, with insufficient funds, we certainly couldn't afford something like this, which didn't have particularly high economic returns. But things are different now!"

"Our Ninth Administrative District possesses the most powerful industrial capacity and the most advanced infrastructure capabilities! Previously, we lacked funds. But now, with our extraordinary economic system, we naturally don't need to worry about funding for these basic projects."

"In order to better cope with the crisis, our district will raise a lot of funds to launch major mega-projects! Through these projects, the large amount of money earned from the wealthy will flow into the hands of ordinary people, promoting economic circulation."

Bai Yu listened attentively, after all, this was indeed a field he had never been familiar with.

But Professor Wang Wen changed the subject, saying, "This is a very complicated question. You haven't read much, and there are many technical terms that I can't explain clearly in a short time. You just need to understand that 60 million is nothing in the field of scientific research!"

"Since you have this money, you could consider getting into the spiritual plant industry. I do have some established spiritual plant businesses that I can recommend to you."

Upon hearing this, Bai Yu's first thought was the Purple-Gold Thunder Bamboo.

Of course, other elixirs and the like can also be dabbled in.

These are the true assets after the alien gods launch a full-scale invasion in the future!

After gaining some insight, Bai Yu's desire to make money and develop extraordinary industries intensified considerably.

This Ten-Spice Tonic Soup is still a bit slow at making money.

"By the way, Professor, I actually have a few good things on me."

Upon hearing this, Wang Wen couldn't help but smile.

"What is it?"

Seeing Professor Wang Wen's cunning, fox-like smile, Bai Yu suddenly came to her senses.

Thinking to myself: Meow meow meow! Are you trying to use me as bait?

Although what they said was all correct, they were trying to lure me into producing results.

No! I can't take the bait; I have to seize the initiative.

Bai Yu quickly regained his composure and said, "Let's not talk about that for now, let's talk about Professor Feng instead."

Professor Wang Wen's smile froze, and he cursed inwardly: This brat is really cunning! He's been hiding that medicine for so long, why didn't he take it out sooner?

I'm not going to eat you!

Did I shortchange you even a penny on this profit split?

He was getting angry just thinking about it. He said, "I put in a lot of good words for you in front of Lao Feng! Lao Feng is a bit stubborn sometimes, but he's not unreasonable. He'll think things through after a while."

Upon hearing this, Bai Yu laughed: "I didn't do anything wrong! What kind of nice words do I need? If he sincerely apologizes to me, I can forgive him. Besides, this matter involves a secret that I haven't told you yet. Otherwise, he would have to sincerely apologize to me."

"What secret?"

"I won't tell."

Hey~!

Professor Wang Wen was so angry that he blew his beard and glared at the boy, thinking that this kid was truly despicable.

After thinking for a moment, Professor Wang Wen said, "Actually, Old Feng has already realized his mistake, but with his personality, he's too embarrassed to come to you first. I can actually act as a go-between. It's a good thing for you to know another professor. Besides, I see you're a Thunder Mage, and Old Feng is quite accomplished in that area! He'll be of great help to you."

"I have the technique for making lightning strike talismans. I think Professor Feng wouldn't refuse, right? Besides, there will be more things to come."

According to the records of the Heavenly Thunder Tempering Method, his relationship with Professor Feng improved, and he even planted Purple Gold Thunder Bamboo.

Therefore, cutting off all contact is also cutting off one's own path.

If the other party is friendly, this matter can be scheduled ahead of time!

He was also very curious about what this Purple Gold Thunder Bamboo was; it sounded very high-end.

Professor Wang Wen was taken aback: "You can also make talismans?"

"Well, for now, I can only make two."

"Good lad! Do you know how far talisman-making technology has developed? It's all fragmented, with everyone forming their own schools! It's a very chaotic stage. The papers are all over the place, making it very difficult to learn. I'm curious, what can you come up with?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Yu recalled the Basic Rune Making Technique (Part 1) he had obtained, which mentioned a total of 337 basic runes.

This was only integrated in 2047, ten years from now!

If I had a complete theory right now, that would be amazing.

However, he only obtained 16 types, plus the core inscriptions of the Lightning Strike Rune, making a total of 17, which is not considered complete.

Thinking of this, Bai Yu said, "The technology I obtained mainly comes from my own ancient god inheritance, as well as that scepter, and I learned some inscriptions."

"I don't know much about inscriptions. If it's lightning-based, you could talk to Old Feng. Or I could help you contact him? It'll be a good opportunity for you two to ease the tension."

"Alright, I'll have to see how he reacts."

"So, can you tell me about that potion now?"

At that moment, the car stopped, and Bai Yu glanced out the window; they had arrived at the school gate.

"There are too many people and too much attention on campus, how about we schedule a time another day?"

Professor Wang Wen said angrily, "This kid is just keeping me in suspense!"

"Get out of the car! Get out of the car! I hate the sight of you!"

"Hahaha~"

As soon as Bai Yu got out of the car, he saw Zhang Yongpeng, Wang Haobin, and the five girls he had met the day before yesterday.

Before coming, Bai Yu chatted with Zhang Youpeng in the dormitory group.

Judging from their posture, they were clearly waiting for me, planning to watch the show together.

They just didn't expect that Bai Yu seemed to be accompanied by an important figure.

When Zhang Youpeng saw Professor Wang Wen, he was a little embarrassed to greet him, fearing that he was a powerful superhuman.

Wang Haobin, unaware of these things, waved and said, "Hey~ Bai Yu, over here! Over here!"

Seeing this, Bai Yu also went over.

Professor Wang Wen didn't disturb them and followed.

The group exchanged brief greetings, while Professor Wang Wen waited a short distance away.

Seeing this, Bai Yu could only say, "I'll probably have to chat with Professor Wang Wen tonight. You guys do your own thing."

Wang Haobin asked curiously, "Professor?"

"Yes, from our school."

Upon hearing this, Wang Haobin's eyes lit up.

Has Bai Yu perhaps entered the field of scientific research? If he takes on a project, he could very well make a lot of money!

He had heard that several undergraduates working under professors were all programming geniuses who had landed a million-dollar project for the military! They finished it in just half a month, and each person received ten or twenty thousand yuan.

The internet industry is absolutely lucrative!

The lion's share naturally goes to the mentor. After all, in this industry, getting projects is the real skill.

There's a reason why graduate students are often referred to as "oxen and horses."

Professor Wang Wen came over after hearing Bai Yu's greeting and his intention to continue chatting with him.

Upon seeing Professor Wang Wen, Sun Yao politely greeted him, "Hello, Professor Wang Wen!"

The two girls next to her also greeted her.

Professor Wang Wen nodded with satisfaction upon hearing this. Although he didn't know the girl, he thought to himself: "Hmph! These students are much more polite. Much better than that brat Bai Yu!"

Bai Yu was somewhat surprised and asked, "Do you know any of you?"

Upon hearing this, Sun Yao felt that Bai Yu's choice of words seemed somewhat inappropriate. It was normal for them to know the professor, but the professor didn't know them.

Somewhat embarrassed, he said, "We are from the medical school and have taken Professor Wang Wen's elective course."

Now it was Wang Haobin's turn to be curious.

Bai Yu is clearly a software engineering major, so how did he suddenly get involved with a medical school professor?

Did you change your major? Then who were you living with these past few years? Were you a ghost?

Wait! This is very likely the reason for Bai Yu's mutation.

Professor Wang Wen was still planning to continue chatting with Bai Yu and didn't intend to linger, so he looked at Bai Yu and said, "Hey kid, let's go, let's have a good chat on the way."

"Hey, what's the rush?"

However, since Professor Wang Wen had already spoken, the students were too embarrassed to keep up and quickly said goodbye.

Everyone watched as Professor Wang Wen took Bai Yu away, but the two of them talked rather sarcastically.

"I was chatting with my friend and you were standing there. It put too much pressure on me. You're so old, yet you're still so immature."

"Hmph! Don't you know how to respect your elders? How dare you leave an old man like me alone? If I had known, I wouldn't have given you that card."

"That's what I deserve! If you don't give it to me, I'll report you."

"Go report it and see who gets arrested."

Hearing their conversation, Sun Yao and the others couldn't help but exchange glances.

Just how terrifying is this student's background? Talking to a professor like that?

Wang Haobin couldn't help but ask curiously, "Yaoyao, what level is this professor?"

"I learned about it before. He was the vice dean of our medical school. He had won many major awards and held a very high position. He had at least five associate professors under his supervision, and his entire academic group had at least three hundred people."

Upon hearing this, they were stunned. They were top students from Tianhai City and seemed to have a high level of education.

But once they actually enter society, most of them just become wage earners.

And the professor's social status is extremely high! He might be the most outstanding person they've ever met in their entire lives.

Wang Haobin was also dumbfounded. He thought he was just an ordinary associate professor, but it turned out he was already at the level of vice dean!

He couldn't help but look at Zhang Youpeng, put his arm around his shoulder, and said, "Can't you just tell me what's going on?"

Zhang Youpeng scratched his head and said, "Didn't Brother Yu arrange a month-long challenge? If you can complete it, Brother Yu will definitely let you know."

"I need to warm up first before I try."

Hearing this, Zhang Youpeng could only sigh: "Brother Yu has a very accurate grasp of human nature. Wang Haobin is indeed not suited to understand the extraordinary world. If it were him, he probably would have spoken up since he considers him a friend."

On the other hand, unable to resist Professor Wang Wen's persistent pleading, Bai Yu finally decided to hand over the formula for the Red Horse Herbal Elixir to Professor Wang Wen.

Anyway, he has a cheat code. The last time he got the Red Horse Herbal Elixir, it seems, was because he saw Professor Wang Wen going to the cafeteria to find someone to test his research on a new product for cleansing meridians.

The fact that I obtained the lightning strike talisman today might be related to Professor Feng.

From this perspective, once I connect with professors or similar figures, I should encounter more research-related information.

Professor Wang Wen became instantly interested after hearing about the research.

They were even more excited to learn that Bai Yu's team, Group Seven, was using it.

He wouldn't dare use his own newly researched products directly. The fact that Bai Yu dared to use them on himself means the technology must be very mature.

After hearing some information about the Red Horse Herbal Agent, Professor Wang Wen was quite excited and said, "Haha~ Where did you get this skill from, kid?"

"Hey, I usually like to tinker with bottles and jars, and I can just throw something together anywhere."

"."

If doing research were this easy, wouldn't I be showered with honors and crowned a god? Why would I be frowning every day?

After receiving a bottle of Red Horse Herbal Potion from Bai Yu, Professor Wang Wen drank it without saying a word.

Bai Yu was speechless. Why were they in such a hurry?

During the exchange, everyone strolled to the open-air stadium that the school had arranged for the evening party.

A stage was set up in the center of the stadium.

The venue is similar to a football field, with a fan-shaped area around the perimeter where you can sit anywhere.

Bai Yu, Professor Wang Wen, and their four bodyguards found a corner and sat down.

Zhang Youpeng and the others were sitting not far away, slightly below.

Bai Yu glanced at the scene and estimated that the venue, which could hold 3000 people, was only 6:40 a.m. and about 1/5 of the seats were occupied.

It's still summer vacation, but it's quite lively with so many people here!

He glanced at Professor Wang Wen beside him, who was meditating with his eyes closed. He was clearly circulating his energy!

"That old guy doesn't even consider the impact he'll have."

"Go play by myself."

As he spoke, he walked towards Zhang Youpeng and the others.

"Brother Yu!"

"Come on! Brother Yu, sit here."

Upon seeing Bai Yu approach, Zhang Youpeng excitedly gave up his seat.

Bai Yu patted Zhang Youpeng on the shoulder, looked at the others, and asked, "By the way, what's the program for tonight's party? Is there a program list?"

Wang Haobin was looking at the schedule when he handed over his phone and said, "There are thirty programs in total. Half of them are singing, a few are dancing, a few are crosstalk, one is martial arts, one is a chorus, and one is a poetry recitation."

Bai Yu glanced at it and thought it was alright.

Then, Wang Mengmeng awkwardly came over to thank the girl for saving her life.

When she was cured the day before yesterday, she was a little confused and didn't know exactly what had happened. She only found out afterward how dangerous it had been! So now that she has found a suitable opportunity, she came to express her gratitude.

Upon hearing this, Bai Yu politely replied, "These are all minor issues, nothing more than a small favor."

The Bureau of Investigation provides free treatment for this condition.

After all, the Special Investigation Bureau has ample funding!

Zhang Youpeng suddenly noticed something and said, "Brother Yu, look! It's Sun Yi from our dorm. We saw him coming over just now, walking with another group of people."

The dormitory has six people: Bai Yu, Zhang Youpeng, Wang Haobin, Li Hua, Liang Yunfei, and Sun Yi.

This Sun Yi was still on campus during his freshman year, but then he disappeared.

Bai Yu had talked to Zhang Youpeng about his roommates and guessed that Sun Yi might know about the existence of the extraordinary world!

Otherwise, the school would have discussed the forced expulsion issue without inquiring about the specifics.

At the time, I thought it was because of a powerful background, and now it seems that it is indeed powerful, and it is related to the extraordinary.

Bai Yu also looked over and found that Sun Yi was with another group of people.

The group was clearly led by a young man with a few tufts of purple hair.

Seeing this, Bai Yu frowned. These dozen or so people all looked like superhumans! And they all looked like students.

During my time at the Investigation Bureau, I hadn't had any contact with these people at all!

That's quite interesting.

Seeing the change in Bai Yu's expression, Wang Haobin asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing. I'm just curious to see my roommate who hasn't been back to the dorm for years."

Zhang Youpeng seemed to sense that Wang Haobin might have some doubts, so he immediately pointed to another place and said, "Brother Yu, your ex-girlfriend and Wu Hao are in that place."

"Oh, right! Your ex-girlfriend Liu Ruoxi is sitting across from me. She's going to karaoke tonight, and she's dressed up really nicely. Want to go check her out?"

Bai Yu bared his teeth, "I freaking really want to punch someone!"

Why is it always "ex-girlfriend," "ex-ex-girlfriend"?

Thinking of this, he patted Zhang Youpeng on the head and grumbled, "Are you playing Battlefield? Marking targets here, aren't you?"

"Also, from now on, just call me by my name. Always calling me 'ex-girlfriend' or 'ex-ex-girlfriend' makes me sound like a player."

If he really was Aquaman, he would accept it. But he really didn't do it!

However, he still asked with some curiosity, "By the way, where is Liu Ruoxi again?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Youpeng excitedly pointed to a spot across the street and said, "It's right there on the other side, why don't we go take a look?"

Bai Yu's heart skipped a beat. Tonight's events were related to Liu Ruoxi, so he had to take a look.

It wasn't out of curiosity about how beautiful this rich young lady was dressed.

"Let's go, let's go!"

Although his girlfriend glared at him, Wang Haobin still followed her.
