12: The use of money, new mission intelligence fragmentsChapter 12: The Use of Money, New Mission - Intelligence Fragments

Inside the apartment building.

After calming his emotions, Bai Yu took out six golden pages.

After a brief study, he found that only one golden page reacted.

The surface of this page was smooth as a mirror, with no traces of text.

But upon closer inspection, a different scene emerged: lightning flashed, figures flickered, seemingly practicing some ancient Cultivation Technique.

The scene was like an illusion, sometimes clear, sometimes blurry, with an elusive sense of mystery. After it disappeared, it felt like a hallucination after eating a poisonous mushroom.

Suddenly, he saw a human Meridians map, with lightning flowing along the Meridians, like Divine Power operating within the body, performing extraordinary spells.

Bai Yu could feel the surging power within his body, calling for some kind of release.

He tried to guide these powers, directing them to specific Acupoints, but he didn’t dare to act rashly.

The Dao of Cultivation is fraught with danger; a slight misstep could lead to severed Meridians.

So he merely learned simply, attempting to move Divine Power to his Acupoints, cautiously exploring the limits of his strength.

After practicing for a while, he was drenched in sweat.

”Phew~” Bai Yu let out a long breath and muttered to himself, ”With no one to guide me, I can only rely on my own exploration, which is truly difficult.”

He thought of the Investigation Bureau, where there might be complete Cultivation methods and knowledge.

But at the same time, he knew that his suddenly acquired Divine Power was difficult to explain to others, and rash contact might cause unnecessary trouble.

”Let’s see what tomorrow’s intelligence can reveal,” Bai Yu secretly decided, putting the golden pages away again.

After Cultivating, Bai Yu picked up his phone and found that the [Jiangnan District Group Chat No. 3] had 99+ messages.

”What are they talking about?”

He clicked it open.

Brother Long: ”Brothers, look at the picture! ***.jpg”

In the picture, one person’s arm clearly had a fresh red wound.

Another picture showed a ten-meter-high giant wave stirred up on the river.

”What happened?”

”The merman from last night’s Yongcheng Street car accident attacked someone by the river, and was later blown up by the Investigation Bureau with an underwater monitor. Dozens of kilograms of TNT equivalent, probably turned to dust.”

”Oh my goodness! Solved so quickly?”

”Who was injured?”

”A fellow angler. Besides me and Wang Gang, there were six other anglers, now at the Investigation Bureau.”

”Six newcomers at once, and no one died, truly good luck.”

Brother Long: ”You have to thank me for this; not only did I warn them in time, but I also cut that little merman with a knife later.”

”??? As expected of Brother Long! Brave!”

”That’s right! Brother Long is a man of the underworld.”

Brother Long: ”Don’t talk nonsense, you’re trying to get me killed! I just look fierce, but I haven’t committed any crimes. I haven’t contacted my old cronies either.”

”Brother Long and Brother Gang are both capable; I heard they even killed a Vampire some time ago! The Investigation Bureau rewarded them with contribution points.”

”That amazing? Too brave. I don’t even dare to go out now.”

”These are all small scenes. It’s said that when Brother Gang was in the army, he participated in a large-scale operation and fought against thousands of Dragon people!”

Brother Long: ”Just to promote a bit, brothers who want to improve their strength can come to my and Zhou Gang’s gym. Brother Zhou Gang is a veteran and will also teach some combat skills. In this world, learning some skills will definitely not be wrong.”

The topic gradually drifted off.

However, it was also clear that this Brother Long was a celebrity in the group, and many people were already working out at his place.

Later, as they chatted, the topic shifted to making money.

When Bai Yu scrolled to the latest chat records:

”Alas, I can’t make money! If only I could become a self-Awakening person.”

”Stop dreaming, a self-Awakening person is one in a billion!”

”Then picking up an ancient god item on the roadside would be good too.”

”Don’t even think about it. Even if you get it, you won’t know how to use it, and you might even be targeted by supernatural creatures.”

”This heavy rain might have been caused by an ancient god item. It would be great if I could pick one up casually while walking my dog.”

”Not awake yet? Dreaming again.”

”Can’t I even think about it? But, is there really no one in our group who knows what’s going on with this heavy rain?”

”Those who know must be secretly contacting the Official of the Investigation Bureau to claim credit!”

Bai Yu looked through the information and thought, these people have a strong desire to make money, but they didn’t reveal what they wanted to use the money for.

After thinking for a moment, Bai Yu still popped up in the group: ”Um, I just joined the group today. I want to ask, everyone seems to care a lot about making money. By the way, the world is different now, with supernatural creatures around, where is it appropriate to use money?”

”Brother, new here? We’ve talked about so many topics, and you’re only curious about what money is for? Is it because you have money? (Smirk.jpg)”

”Just purely curious.”

The people in the group were quite enthusiastic, and someone immediately sent a large chunk of information, which seemed to be copied.

”There are many uses for money.”

”One, purchase jade, spiritual wood, land, establish a Spiritual Qi planting base, purchase seeds from the Official, and there is a probability of cultivating Spirit Medicine. Note: Jade can absorb Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, so the price of jade on the market has been rising year after year. Some tree species have the effect of gathering Spiritual Qi and are very valuable. In an environment rich in Spiritual Qi, normal crops have a certain probability of growing into spiritual plants. So, in this day and age, more people are farming, and they are stocking up on grain for future disasters.”

”Two, hire researchers to research Cultivation Techniques, spiritual plant cultivation, and spiritual land development. After achieving results, submit them to the Federation to obtain contribution points. Contribution points can be exchanged for valuable resources.”

”Three, the simplest way is to donate money to the Investigation Bureau to gain access to internal resources.”

”Four, go to administrative regions where weapons can be legally held, hehehe, I won’t say more about this one.”

”Five, six”

”Currently, the policy from above is to maintain stability and the original social order, so money is still very useful.”

”There are a few rich people in the group who bought land in the countryside and have already set up Spiritual Qi planting bases. It is said that they have already cultivated several Spirit Medicines. So envious!”

”These few points I listed are not all. Once you really have money, you will see more and more paths.”

Bai Yu: ”Thanks! I didn’t expect the supernatural world to be so well-developed...”

”By the way, brother, are you a rich person?”

”I’m just a student.”

”Which school?”

”Tianhai City University.”

”Oh my god! A top student!”

Immediately, many people came out to chat.

”If you’re capable, brother, you can consider finding mentors who research supernatural directions and engage in scientific research. This path has a high possibility of taking off!”

Brother Long: ”@One (Bai Yu), come to my gym, half price.”

Bai Yu saw everyone’s enthusiasm, thanked them repeatedly, and then quietly exited the chat.

He felt a bit excited just thinking about the soybean futures in his hand.

”Money seems quite useful; I need to keep making money later.”

He was also considering the gym matter.

The key point is that this Brother Long has already come into contact with supernatural events and dared to go to Qingyun River knowing there were mermen, making him a ruthless person. The group also mentioned that the two had killed a Vampire, and that Zhou Gang, while in the army, had participated in battles with thousands ofAlien creatures.

He wondered if there was any exaggeration.

Even with his current supernatural powers, Bai Yu admitted he didn’t have that much courage.

”Is this a bit too cautious... But my Golden Finger should develop this way.”

Afterward, he continued to examine the golden page, quickly grew mentally fatigued, and fell into a deep sleep.

The first ray of morning sunlight filtered through the gap in the curtains and fell on Bai Yu’s bed.

The first thing he did every morning was to check his Golden Finger.

[Intelligence One (White)

Keyword: Investigator

Intelligence Value Required: 5]

[Intelligence Two (White)

Keyword: Archives

Intelligence Value Required: 5]

[Intelligence Three (White)

Keyword: Body Refining

Intelligence Value Required: 5]

[Intelligence Four (Green)

Keyword: Basic Cultivation Method

Intelligence Value Required: 20]

35 Intelligence Value needed!

”It looks like I can only buy the Basic Cultivation Method.”

”Sigh~”

Bai Yu sighed.

But when he saw the missions, he found that they had changed!

The four missions, including push-ups, had their quantities directly doubled, and each mission rewarded ten Intelligence Value, which was a twofold increase.

There was also an additional mission.

[Mission Five: Perform Great Circulation of the Heavens 0 / 10

Reward: 1 Random Intelligence Fragment (Purple: 90%, Gold: 9%, Red: 1%)

10 fragments can be synthesized into one Intelligence Scroll.

After using an Intelligence Scroll, Intelligence of the corresponding quality will appear, but still requires Intelligence Value to purchase.

Purple: 200, Gold: 500, Red: 1000]

Seeing the threefold increase, Bai Yu couldn’t help but feel a bit overwhelmed.

”Thirty kilometers, my legs will break!”

Plus this Intelligence Fragment mode... and the high intelligence costs.

This... Intelligence Value is even more insufficient!

”From the prices, there should be a color between Purple and Green.”

He calculated that, based on the current daily Intelligence Value acquisition, a Purple mission would take five days, Gold twelve and a half days, and Red twenty-five days.

One intelligence every ten days.

”To get better intelligence later, it seems I’ll need to save up Intelligence Value.”

He looked at today’s four intelligence options again; he wanted to see them all! He simply couldn’t save up.
