High-tech invasion, I can see the future

Chapter 8 Ancient Martial Arts Family, Opportunity in Antique Street!

After the investigators left, Bai Yu looked at the group chat he had joined, which had about two hundred people.

We were talking about the car accident last night.

"This fishman is hiding in the Qingyun River, which makes me afraid to go near the riverbank."

"I don't dare go fishing today."

"Even if you catch one, you'll come up empty-handed; at least you won't die."

"You can give it a try; you might just catch the monster."

"Try it and you'll die."

Seeing these group members chatting, Bai Yu thought to himself: The people in this group are all pretty carefree, huh?

He decided to wait and see if he could get any useful information from the group.

"Now, let's head out and complete the running task. Then we can exchange for information on the Nameless Book!"

noon.

Inside the house, in the bathroom.

A basin of water was poured out.

"Splash~"

"Cool!"

The food delivery has arrived.

He ordered a grilled fish feast as a reward for his exercise over the past few days.

While looking at the latest intelligence.

Personal Profile

Registration date: August 14, 2048

Name: Lei Tao

Family: Lei Family (Guwu Family)

Realm: Fourth Realm - Spirit Sea Realm (Ancient God System Cultivator)

Personal experience:

In 2037, Lei Tao unexpectedly purchased a wordless book at Yunhu Antique Street in Tianhai City. He sensed a mysterious connection between the book and himself, but was unaware of the power it contained.

Then, by accident, he burned it and found that the writing disappeared. After it was completely burned, he obtained three golden pages.

Lei Tao comprehended powerful ancient divine techniques such as "Palm Thunder", "Heavenly Thunder Guidance", "Five Thunder Techniques" and "Thunder Talisman Heavenly Soldiers" and officially became a cultivator of the ancient divine system.

After professional testing, it was determined that the power of the wordless book came from Zhang Jiao, an ancient god of the Celestial Masters sect.

According to the compatibility analysis, although Lei Tao's ancient martial arts family has a thunder-based immortal cultivation method, its compatibility with Zhang Jiao is only 57%.

Family incident:

At one point, the Lei family's high-ranking members were controlled by the Blood Demon. Later investigations revealed that the Lei family's research institute colluded with the Blood Ancestral God to secretly create forbidden objects such as flesh-and-blood fusion monsters, attempting to obtain immortality from the alien god.

After the incident was exposed, a fierce battle broke out between the Lei family and members of the investigation bureau, resulting in the deaths of many family members, while a few members, including Lei Tao, fled Tianhai City.

Key information: A wordless book.jpg

Upon seeing the personal file, Bai Yu was momentarily stunned, thinking it wasn't information that could help him become extraordinary.

But after watching it...

"Yunhu Antique Street, Tianhai City!"

"As expected! I knew this would happen after I finished reading the paper on the sequence advancement. Spiritual energy is reviving, and antiques are being found at bargain prices."

"Damn it, when I'm rich, I'll buy up the whole antique street."

This intelligence clearly contains more than just this one key element.

There is also information about the Lei family, an ancient martial arts family, and their secret evil experiments and betrayal of humanity!

"Oh right, there's also the fourth realm—the Spirit Sea Realm. That's also information."

"Ancient divine arts, Zhang Jiao, compatibility, etc., can all be considered as such."

Quickly grab a pen and jot this information down in your notebook.

After finishing writing, I got hungry and wanted to eat grilled fish.

With the antique market on his mind, he couldn't sit still any longer and had to eat quickly.

Yunhu Lake is a bit far away.

After finishing our meal, we took a half-hour drive and arrived.

Built by the lake, the air here is not scorching even under the bright sun, thanks to the lake's water regulation.

The Tianhai Meteorological Bureau is located here, which means that the temperature in Tianhai's weather forecast has never exceeded the 40-degree mark!

When Bai Yu got out of the car, there were many people sitting on wooden benches on the hillside by the roadside, enjoying the cool air.

They chatted or sat quietly, enjoying the breeze and coolness by the lake.

Without delay, we entered the antique street.

There are many formal shops here, as well as quite a few street stalls.

The most crucial information Bai Yu obtained was a photograph of the wordless book.

The kind of martial arts manuals in movies, with no words on the cover.

"It's hard to find."

"Besides, at this hour, I don't even know if I can find this book."

They feared arriving full of hope only to leave empty-handed.

With this in mind, Bai Yu walked into the antique street with some trepidation.

There were quite a few people browsing the items at the street stalls.

One man picked up a strange iron spoon and asked, "Brother, what's the story behind this spoon?"

He said very seriously, "This thing has quite a history; back in the day..."

The stall owner was a middle-aged man with a slightly chubby face who looked like a crosstalk performer. His voice had a storytelling quality that made it quite interesting to listen to.

But the next sentence made Bai Yu lose his composure.

"Back in the day, Pan Jinlian used this spoon to feed Wu Dalang."

"How much?"

"Three thousand."

"The proper price."

"Three hundred, not a penny less. Hey, don't go, we can talk some more."

What followed was an informal bargaining scene.

Don't be fooled by the fact that street vendors are just spouting nonsense.

Most people, without careful consideration, feel that this is a way to make a business.

That would be a big mistake!

Under normal circumstances, could a rusty, broken iron spoon be sold? Even scrap collectors wouldn't take it!

But if you give this thing a story, then it has value. Even if the story is outrageous, customers won't mind paying an extra 5 or 10 yuan. If it sounds interesting, they'll buy it.

You might feel like you've lost a lot of money afterwards, but you bought it for fun at the time.

Bai Yu walked for quite a while but still couldn't find any martial arts manuals.

When he made eye contact with a stall owner, the stall owner took out an ancient book and said mysteriously, "Young man, I have a treasure here."

Bai Yu glanced at the five large characters: Along the River During the Qingming Festival.

Somewhat speechless, he asked, "How much?"

"This is the genuine scroll, only five thousand!"

Bai Yu rolled her eyes: "Am I stupid? Besides, this is a booklet, not a scroll! The real scroll is in the museum."

"Are you stupid? How can you switch it out if you don't make it into a booklet? One price, three thousand."

"Hehe~ Thirty is alright, good as a decoration."

"make a deal!"

"."

After thinking it over, Bai Yu felt that he didn't need to be too goal-oriented. Buying a booklet in advance would be fine, just to make it look like a formality.

Thirty isn't expensive.

Just when Bai Yu felt he was about to reach the end of his shopping trip, he spotted a stall near the lake with a lot of martial arts manuals and excitedly walked over.

But then, a group of people suddenly appeared.

The person in the lead was none other than Li Yunbin! Beside him were two men and two women, and in the middle was a young man with a rather unpleasant expression.

After reviewing the list of Group Seven, Bai Yu naturally guessed that these five adults were the core members of Group Seven.

As for the young people, I don't know.

Bai Yu wasn't really acquainted with Li Yunbin, so he pretended not to see him and looked down at the stall.

On the other side, Li Yunbin, being an extraordinary being, possessed extremely keen insight and naturally noticed Bai Yu.

His expression was somewhat surprised, and Qin Wanqing, who was standing next to him, asked curiously, "What's wrong? What happened?"

As they spoke, the group continued passing by Bai Yu.

Li Yunbin said, "I just saw that young man who came to visit this morning at one of the stalls."

"Um?"

After hearing this, the team members looked back in confusion.

Qin Wanqing asked in confusion, "Is there a problem with this?"

"Based on the information I've seen, he shouldn't have any connection with this area."

"They're probably trying to snag some bargains and buy those items."

Li Yunbin thought about it and figured that after Bai Yu joined the group, he probably asked about ways to improve his strength, and the group members mentioned sequence advancement items.

In reality, this method, which seems like a way to find a bargain, has an extremely low probability of success.

More importantly, even if you buy a genuine product, you won't know how to use it.

The power of the ancient gods is not so easy to inherit; if you don't have a solid foundation, the backlash from that power could very well lead to your death.

"However, they acted immediately upon receiving the news. They're quite ambitious."

With that in mind, the six of them arrived at a shop on the antique street: Red Moon Antique Shop.

The shop was rather dark and deserted. Their purpose for the visit was, of course, to see the old friend that Deputy Director Yang had mentioned.
