Gaowu invasion, I can see the future

18: I wonder if Li Waner is quite talented!When Bai Yu got into the car, Wu Hao and Li Wan’er, who were walking a little slower, also arrived at the school gate.

Seeing Li Yunbin and Qin Wanqing next to Bai Yu, Wu Hao frowned.

Li Wan’er followed his gaze, then pouted slightly with a hint of coquetry, and said, “Don’t be jealous~”

Wu Hao came back to his senses and blurted out, “What’s your ex-boyfriend’s background?”

“Background?”

This question stumped Li Wan’er.

“What background could he have? I heard his parents passed away when he was in his first year of high school, and he doesn’t have contact with other relatives in his family. He’s basically an orphan.”

“Alright. To the hotel.”

Walking on the road, Li Wan’er clearly noticed that Wu Hao’s mood had dropped significantly because of the previous scene.

Could it be that the people driving the large SUV were very high-status, and he thought Bai Yu had connections with them?

Thinking of this, Li Wan’er said, “Oh right, didn’t I just hear Zhang Youpeng exclaim something about passing the civil service exam? They must be related people, right?”

Wu Hao heard this and suddenly gave a wry smile, then stroked Li Wan’er’s head, saying, “Alright, don’t delve into this matter. Just live your own life well.”

But Wu Hao’s reaction made Li Wan’er’s heart itch; she couldn’t understand what exactly went wrong.

She had been with Bai Yu for half a year and knew his situation.

Speaking of which, a large part of the reason she chose to date Bai Yu was that he seemed very wealthy in terms of living expenses, and his looks were also good.

After they confirmed their relationship, Bai Yu became even more generous. She felt that even if Bai Yu wasn’t a rich second generation, his family background was good among the middle class, and they would be able to live a good life after marriage.

However, after a few months of dating, Bai Yu received a call from a relative and then talked to her about family issues.

At that time, she found out that Bai Yu was actually an orphan!

An orphan! Without parental support, when would he be able to buy a house and a car?! Her expectation of a rich wife’s life instantly vanished.

Of course, a person’s character is not a binary switch, black or white. Just like Li Wan’er’s inner self, even if she had a bit of a materialistic streak, if she met someone with a good family background, her persona for this lifetime might have been that of a virtuous wife and loving mother.

And after hearing about Bai Yu’s family background, she didn’t directly say anything about breaking up.

That would appear too snobbish, and anyone would know that’s bad character.

So later, she just showed a cooling of emotions, and they slowly broke up peacefully.

She seemed extravagant with money, but many boys might think it was their own problem, that they couldn’t give her what she wanted.

This is hard to judge; one can only say it’s a personal choice.

The evolution theory of dating: survival of the fittest!

It’s just that after seeing Wu Hao’s reaction this time, she always felt something was off.

’Wu Hao’s family background is good, and his third uncle is still the second largest shareholder of that media company.’

She checked online; the market value is four billion, and he seems to have more than 10% of the shares.

’But why is Wu Hao acting like this?’

’Did she choose wrong? That’s impossible!’

Meanwhile, Wu Hao was thinking about something different.

This year.

His third uncle’s company organized a New Year’s Eve gala and invited many influential figures.

He was also brought along to gain some experience.

The five people Bai Yu just interacted with attended this banquet, and more importantly, their status far surpassed the company’s top streamers; they sat at the same table as various influential figures.

Those influential figures with considerable wealth were extremely polite to these five young people.

At the time, he was puzzled: why were these five people so high in status? Top-tier rich second generations?

Afterward, his third uncle also told him a secret: this world is different!

He also said many strange-sounding things, but they weren’t particularly direct.

In any case, after that conversation, he developed a deep curiosity about the identities of those five people.

Later, he learned a lot.

He also learned about an organization: the Special Investigation Bureau.

Outside the car window, neon lights flickered, and Tianhai City remained bustling under the night sky.

Inside the car, the atmosphere was unusually relaxed.

Liu Feifei was chatting with Bai Yu. A brief interaction was enough to know that she was definitely a social butterfly!

“You actually got into Tianhai City University!” Liu Feifei praised, with a hint of envy in her tone, “If only I had half your intelligence back then.”

Bai Yu was a little embarrassed: “Just good luck.”

In front, Li Yunbin observed the two through the rearview mirror and timely broke the relaxed atmosphere.

“Is it convenient for us to see that Ancient God Item?”

“Don’t worry, our Investigation Bureau has clear regulations; we won’t arbitrarily seize other people’s treasures.”

“Of course.” Bai Yu said, extending his right hand, and a golden page appeared out of thin air.

Everyone in the car instantly focused their gaze on this seemingly ordinary golden tablet.

Although its surface was smooth as a mirror, the ability to summon it out of thin air was enough to prove its extraordinary nature.

“Can you tell us about the process of acquiring this item? Our Official primarily collects data on Ancient God Items to facilitate research on deeper-level items. You can choose not to disclose anything that involves your privacy.”

Li Yunbin’s wording tried to be as gentle as possible.

Bai Yu nodded; he was already prepared and knew that if the Official wanted to investigate, they would quickly find out its origin.

The day he bought the Secret Manual, he even ran into Li Yunbin and his group.

“There’s nothing that can’t be said.” Bai Yu began to recount his experience, “That day, after Brother Li added me to the group, I read a lot of things in the group. I heard that Ancient God Items can be obtained through lucky finds, or even bought at street stalls.”

He continued, “After all, it was my first time encountering the transcendent world. When I saw that news, my mindset was definitely to try my luck, just like the mentality of getting rich by buying a lottery ticket, so I went to the antique street.”

“At first, I wandered for more than half a circle and found no clues at all. But later, I saw an old man displaying many Secret Manuals. I thought, since the Spiritual Qi Revival is real, then can these fabricated Secret Manuals also be used?”

“Anyway, I had nothing to do, so I might as well read more books and see if I could understand them. Then, I bought those Secret Manuals. When I got back, I immediately started reading them.”

“As a result, when I saw a Secret Manual titled ’The Daoist Master’s Biography’, a page suddenly burned up. I was startled at the time.”

“Then a bolt of lightning struck me, and I entered another state. When I woke up, I found lightning traces in the room and it was raining heavily outside the window.”

“That’s roughly the situation.”

“Oh, right, what I can see on this page now is a figure constantly performing the same Cultivation Technique.”

Everyone was listening intently to the story Bai Yu told. To be honest, this story had no logical flaws!

Indeed, some people are just that lucky.

Liu Feifei was very forthright at this moment, saying with a hint of envy, “Little brother, you’re so lucky! Ancient God Items are treasures that countless people long for but can’t obtain.”

Bai Yu didn’t act modest either, saying, “Haha, I also feel very lucky, like I have some kind of destiny bestowed upon me.”

He tried to act as much like a normal young person as possible, not someone with overly deep thoughts.

At this moment, Jiang Chen, who was wearing glasses next to him, asked, “You should be able to feel a certain power within your body, right?”

“Of course, I can. Shall I release it?” Bai Yu said, calmly extending his right palm.

The power of lightning slowly emerged, condensing into a shimmering blue lightning ball.

In Bai Yu’s view, this was a very simple operation, but he noticed that Jiang Chen and the others’ expressions had changed.

“What’s wrong?” Bai Yu asked.

Jiang Chen and the others exchanged glances. They had never seen a newcomer control spiritual power so easily, let alone volatile lightning.

This newcomer’s talent is quite high!
