Gaowu invasion, I can see the future

55: New product in the cafeteria, recent strange cases jumping into the riverChapter 55: New Product at the Cafeteria, Recent Strange Case - Jumping into the River

After Li Yunbin left, Bai Yu naturally began to circulate his Great Circulation of the Heavens, at least to first confirm if he could obtain a purple fragment today.

If it wasn’t a purple fragment, he would naturally choose to get his hands on that Summon – Spirit of Thunder spell.

As a result, after only one Great Circulation of the Heavens, he heard a knock on the door again.

Bai Yu was a little curious, who could it be?

He opened the door and saw Liu Feifei.

“Ding ding ding~”

Liu Feifei looked like she wanted to give him a surprise, and that was indeed her lively personality.

Seeing this, Bai Yu felt very warm inside.

It must be because of yesterday’s incident, Feifei Jie wanted to cheer him up.

“You don’t even bring a gift when you visit.”

Hearing this, Liu Feifei pouted: “You’re so capable, I can’t offer anything you’d fancy.”

“Haha~ That’s true. By the way, Feifei Jie, is there something you need?”

“Can’t I look for you even if there’s nothing wrong?”

“Of course… not.”

“Hmph! Can’t I ask you to go to the cafeteria with me? And while we’re at it, let’s see your strength.”

Bai Yu heard the drawn-out sound and thought, see what of mine? Oh, it’s strength. Then it’s fine.

Hearing this, Bai Yu was also not modest: “The space indoors is too small; I can’t fully display it. Let’s go outside and I’ll show you.”

Investigation Bureau.

Building No. 3, training ground.

Bai Yu activated the Palm Thunder spell. He could currently connect one of the four routes, meaning he could activate seven Acupoints.

He saw blue lightning gather in his hand.

Watch me, Five Thunder Heavenly Gang Art!

Ha~

“Boom~”

Lightning flashed, lingering in the air for a while before slowly dissipating.

He then looked at the data monitor next to him.

Destructive Power: 5.6 ~ 6.9 Grade

Energy Level: 100 ~ 120

Bai Yu clearly remembered his strength when he first arrived:

Destructive Power: 3.5 ~ 4.8 Grade

Energy Level: 50 ~ 80

The improvement speed was even faster than expected!

And this was without him using the scepter.

If he used the scepter, he felt he could unleash the power of the ninth grade!

But to avoid being too conspicuous, he chose not to test it.

Liu Feifei saw this and said, “You… your progress is too fast!”

That envious look in her eyes truly provided a full emotional value.

Bai Yu wasn’t modest either. He wiped his nose with his thumb and said boastfully, “That’s right! You don’t even look at who I am.”

“I won’t need anyone to protect me anymore~”

“People always have to grow up.”

“This growth rate is too much of a Prodigy! It’s only been how long since you joined our Nine Heavens? Who can be like you, so fast?”

Fast… why did I misunderstand again?

Meanwhile, Liu Feifei had a dejected expression, then pulled out the fire whip she had obtained from the treasury earlier.

“Then I’ll try my new spirit art too…”

Saying that, Liu Feifei began to wield the long whip, forming streaks of suspended fire in the air around her.

After gathering more than thirty streaks of fire, she instantly charged forward.

To be honest, it looked quite dazzling.

Bai Yu was also curious about its power…

“Boom~”

Scorching fiery energy permeated the air, and the special material of the wall rapidly absorbed the spiritual energy in the area.

The screen next to it also displayed numbers.

Destructive Power: 12.2 ~ 14.4 Grade

Energy Level: 800 ~ 1100

Seeing these numbers, Bai Yu’s smile froze.

???

“What’s going on? Isn’t the captain only Grade 14?”

Liu Feifei had a triumphant look. Seeing Bai Yu’s shocked expression, her smile became even brighter, and she said, “Hmph hmph~! Grade 14 was just the captain’s lower limit tested a few months ago.”

“How about it? Do you still need your older sister to protect you in the future?”

Bai Yu: …

“So, after what happened yesterday, you came to tease me this morning, right?”

“Isn’t it more fun~”

“No love left, goodbye.”

“Don’t be like that~”

“We’re not close, don’t contact me.”

Bai Yu originally felt a great sense of accomplishment with this improvement, but who knew the gap was still so large!

However, being stimulated like this was good; it prevented him from becoming too arrogant.

Moreover, looking at Feifei Jie behind him, looking like she’d made a mistake, was quite amusing.

Cafeteria.

Early in the morning, everyone heard the news of a new product.

“Ten-Spirit Tonic Soup? Does it use 10 spiritual ingredients? Won’t it be too expensive?”

“What we should be considering is whether Professor Wang’s new product will give us diarrhea.”

“Indeed! I heard that Professor Wang’s entire lineage, whether it’s ingredients, or potions, or even some kind of spirit oil fruit they cultivated before! They all have the miraculous effect of aiding diarrhea for weight loss.”

“Cough~ cough cough~!”

At this moment, a cough sounded.

The young investigator who was saying ‘aiding diarrhea for weight loss’ suddenly stiffened.

He turned around somewhat awkwardly and found Professor Wang Wen queuing behind him.

Seeing this, he quickly stepped aside and said, “Professor, please go first!”

“Yes, yes, yes, Professor, please go first!”

Professor Wang was not a polite person. After ordering some food, he walked towards Bai Yu and the others who were eating breakfast.

When he arrived at Bai Yu’s table, he looked at Bai Yu’s rich breakfast, which was worth at least sixty or seventy contribution points, and smiled: “You’ve got money, kid, eating quite sumptuously!”

Bai Yu certainly didn’t hold back and said, “That’s right! I make money like flowing water, faster than a printing press. I definitely have to eat well to quickly improve my strength.”

“Heh heh~”

Professor Wang Wen glanced at Bai Yu’s plate, reached out and picked up a twenty-contribution-point seedless longan, put it on his own plate, and left gracefully.

Bai Yu’s eyes widened. He turned to look at the departing Professor Wang, remained silent for a moment, then grumbled, “Is this something a Human Race would do?”

And in his heart, Bai Yu was thinking: ‘This old fellow acts quite fast. I didn’t expect it to be sold in the cafeteria today. Two catties of soup for one contribution point, one catty of meat for two contribution points. Such a huge profit! How much can he earn?’

‘Never mind, I’ll just get my share when the time comes.’

With new items on the menu today, everyone’s attention was more or less on Professor Wang.

Many people naturally saw this scene.

However, the vast majority of people never expected Professor Wang to be involved with Bai Yu! And at a glance, their relationship seemed quite good, as if they had known each other for a long time.

The leader of the Eighth Team, Jiang Yan, and the leader of the Ninth Team, Hu Chengyong, exchanged glances.

They both stood up, carrying their plates, and directly sat down with the Seventh Team.

Hu Chengyong still had that stubbled look, but with a smile that looked annoying no matter how you saw it, he said, “Haha, we just came over to talk about the contribution point distribution.”

Li Yunbin said decisively, “Our Seventh Team gets fifteen thousand, and you each get seventy-five hundred.”

“Hey~! Why? We all fought together, and no one did more than anyone else.”

Saying that, he also asked Jiang Yan, “Right?”

Jiang Yan was the type of bold and fiery girl. She slapped the table and said, “Indeed! Why should the Seventh Team get more?”

The people around watched the three teams, who looked like they were about to fight, without any panic.

This was basic procedure!

Li Yunbin calmly said, “It’s distributed according to contribution, there’s no unfairness.”

Hu Chengyong smiled and said, “Distributed according to contribution? Then Team Leader Li should explain why your team contributed more and deserves a larger share. That would be reasonable, wouldn’t it?”

As he spoke, Hu Chengyong’s hand rested on Bai Yu’s shoulder, his eyes occasionally glancing at Bai Yu.

This was their initial goal: they wanted to know what secret Bai Yu had. Why, from yesterday’s conversation and the reactions of Director Yang and others, did Bai Yu seem like the main orchestrator of this incident!

Logically, shouldn’t it be Director Yang? After all, Director Yang had that kind of ability…

There was also a strange point: Bai Yu was actually at the scene beforehand, and his displayed combat power was quite impressive! The Lightning Scepter in his hand was also strange.

His relationship with Professor Wang Wen was also quite strange.

Everything was strange; there was nothing normal about it.

They were naturally extremely curious!!!

Their hearts itched, so they had to ask.

Before Li Yunbin could figure out how to answer, Liu Feifei couldn’t help but swat away Hu Chengyong’s hand and said, “Don’t touch our Bai Yu for no reason.”

“Are you two dating?”

Liu Feifei didn’t expect this question, she froze for a moment, then her face turned red.

Hu Chengyong blurted out, “Haha~ Not dating? Then he belongs to everyone!”

At this moment, Li Yunbin still calmly spoke, “Then each team gets ten thousand.”

“Uh…”

As soon as these words came out, Hu Chengyong’s face stiffened.

Their main purpose in coming here was just to understand what secret Bai Yu had, not to snatch money.

After all, from the entire development of the incident, the Seventh Team seemed to have made a great contribution, and they fully agreed to them taking 15,000.

The remaining 7,500 was essentially found money. They had never earned money so easily before!

Now that Li Yunbin suddenly said 10,000 per group, it put them in a difficult position.

Hu Chengyong and Jiang Yan looked at each other, feeling a bit awkward.

However, Hu Chengyong’s unique personality meant he could say anything without causing conflict.

He then said, “Hey, if you can’t say it, then you can’t say it. We’ll stick to your arrangement, you get 15,000. Our two teams each get 7,500.”

Liu Feifei let out an arrogant ‘hmph’.

Hu Chengyong also used this opportunity to say, “It just so happens that our three team leaders haven’t communicated much recently. Let’s use this opportunity to discuss the current situation.”

“Although the group of Fish-men I’m responsible for was severely injured, they’ve been causing quite a stir recently!”

When it came to serious matters, the three team leaders were still very serious.

The leader of the Eighth Team, Jiang Yan, was full of grievances!

Their team was mainly responsible for Dragon Blood creatures, which were actually Lizardmen. It’s just that these Lizardmen liked to call themselves Dragon Race and loved to make potions to purify their Bloodline, pretending to be Dragons.

The Lizardmen’s methods of infiltrating Human Race were also through potions and similar things, engaging inTransaction of interest (profit transactions) to corrupt internal Human Race members.

These guys drank potions, which was equivalent to Cultivating, and various instruments could hardly detect it; at most, they could do a blood test.

So the hardest to find were the guys colluding with the Lizardmen!

The Eighth Team had been busy for half a month recently and only caught a group of criminal organizations led by a real estate developer, totaling about thirty people, whose combat power was not low after taking the potions.

And the Eighth Team spent most of its time catching scattered alien monsters to earn contribution points.

As for the leader of the Ninth Team, Hu Chengyong, he had been having an incredibly comfortable time recently!

The Official launched a major operation against the Fish-men, and they dug out quite a few Fish-men!

However, Hu Chengyong still sighed, “Alas, I’m not the only team catching these Fish-men. Didn’t you all get a lot of credit too?”

“What’s more, it was your Seventh Team who found the Fish-man Family in the first place. That huge credit all went to you.”

Saying that, he also glanced at Bai Yu.

He was truly curious about this newcomer!

But looking at Li Yunbin’s reaction, it seemed the newcomer’s secret couldn’t be revealed.

He thought back to that night, which was clearly a fated meeting! He actually didn’t try to trick this newcomer over.

Alas~ Thinking of this, he regretted it, regretted it, and got angry!!!

After a while, he continued, “And something strange has happened recently.”

“What strange thing?”

“It’s just that recently, there have been more than ten cases of people jumping into the river to commit suicide. At first, ordinary law enforcement officers were responsible for the investigation. After their initial investigation, they found that before these people jumped into the river, there was a period of time when their emotions became abnormally irritable and their behavior was somewhat abnormal.”

“They felt something was fishy, so they handed the case over to our Investigation Bureau.”

“Alas, after investigating for two or three days, we also received several reports of people jumping into the river. We rushed there at the fastest speed and even deployed underwater equipment, but… no bodies could be found in the water! Don’t you think that’s strange?”

“And we inquired around and learned that after these people jumped into the river, they sank directly to the bottom, without even struggling in the water.”

“It’s truly strange!!!”

After Hu Chengyong finished speaking, everyone fell into discussion.

Everyone was still very concerned about such bizarre incidents. If not resolved, they often had the potential to cause major disasters.

Bai Yu, on the other hand, was thinking: ‘When I looked at Li Yunbin’s intelligence earlier, I got information on three cases. Now, only the Blood Pool case is left.’

‘But this time, it’s clearly unrelated to the Blood Pool.’

‘It seems I’ll have to wait and see if there’s any information on series-like cases later.’
