Gaowu invasion, I can see the future

58: Millennium Dragon and Tiger List, you must participate!On the other side, Bai Yu, who had walked out of the Red Moon Antique Shop, was not idle either.

He looked around, wondering if he should just buy some random things.

This way, it would be more reasonable to explain that his purchase of the Wordless Heavenly Book was truly a coincidence!

Just as he was thinking this and browsing around, he suddenly spotted an acquaintance.

It was the old stall owner who had sold him the Wordless Heavenly Book.

The old stall owner seemed to have completed a transaction, pulling out an old plastic bag and giving someone change.

Seeing this scene, Bai Yu couldn’t help but feel a little sour.

He was a kind-hearted person and just couldn’t stand the sight of money being stored in plastic bags.

’Speaking of which, this Wordless Heavenly Book is extremely useful; nine hundred federal currency isn’t enough to express my sincerity.’

Or perhaps wanting to add some stories to his life, Bai Yu walked over.

”Old man, how much are these books selling for?”

”Oh, these? They all have stories! Each one has a different value, it just depends on you...”

As he spoke, the white-haired elder, wearing reading glasses, also looked up.

Seeing that it was Bai Yu, he was somewhat surprised!

After all, he was the big, wronged boss who had spent 900 federal currency! He naturally remembered him.

The old man’s reaction was also very quick, saying, ”Oh, it’s a regular customer! All 25 federal currency, discounts for bulk purchases.”

Bai Yu saw the old man’s reaction and felt the sympathy that had just surged up instantly recede.

Damn it! This old guy earns quite a lot, probably over ten thousand federal currency a month.

For an old man, that was a huge income.

’I got emotional too soon.’

However, Bai Yu did not leave but looked at an old-looking brush, picked it up, and asked, ”Come on, tell me a story.”

The old man rolled his eyes, feeling that Bai Yu wanted to tease him. However, after thinking about the 900 federal currency he had earned, he felt a little guilty, as if it would harm his Karma, so he decided to make up a story as compensation.

”Have you ever heard of the Millennium Dragon and Tiger List of Jiayou Year Two?”

”I have. Famous people like Su Shi, Su Zhe, Wang Shao, Zeng Gong, Zeng Bu, Cheng Hao, Cheng Yi, Lü Huiqing, Zhang Heng, Zhang Dun, and Zhang Zai all participated in this imperial examination. Su Shi only got third place, while Zhang Heng was the top scholar.”

”Oh, wow~! Young man, you’ve read quite a lot.”

”What does that have to do with this brush?”

”In Jiayou Year Two, Luck was at its peak. This brush, ah, was transformed from the Dragon and Tiger Luck of that year and was obtained by Zhang Heng, which is why he became the top scholar! There’s also a spicy story; this brush transformed into a human form, a beautiful woman, who tested Zhang Heng in a ruined temple in the mountains... and was finally taken by him.”

After listening, Bai Yu rolled his eyes.

Shouldn’t Dragon and Tiger Luck transform into a big muscular guy? Why did it become a beautiful woman? Old man, you’ve watched too much Nie Xiaoqian...

And how could this old guy tell a lie without batting an eyelid?

”How much?”

”Two thousand federal currency is fine. This is indeed an old item from decades or even thousands of years ago, not expensive at all.”

”Okay, I’ll buy it.”

Saying that, Bai Yu took out his phone.

A voice came from beside him: ”I’ll offer 1001 federal currency!”

This immediately sounded like someone looking for trouble.

But Bai Yu rolled his eyes and looked at Liu Feifei, who was bidding next to him.

He said helplessly, ”This thing isn’t valuable. I’m just buying it for fun.”

”Hmph hmph! Then the highest bidder wins~”

”Alright, alright, you can have it.”

This made the old man a bit difficult. He was a man of integrity; a verbal agreement had been reached, and then it was going to be reversed.

But seeing the tone of Bai Yu and Liu Feifei’s conversation, he felt it was better to just honestly earn money. Maybe the couple was just spending money for fun, and he was just a part of their play.

It was better not to get involved.

And Bai Yu bought things just for the sake of his mood; if Liu Feifei wanted to buy it, he was happy to let her.

[Life only seeks inner freedom; a thousand gold coins cannot buy my willingness!]

After Liu Feifei paid, she giggled and handed the pen to Bai Yu, saying, ”Here, the gift you wanted this morning.”

”Uh...”

Alright! People’s thought processes are different.

It’s also possible that Liu Feifei couldn’t bear to see money in a plastic bag either.

’This girl is silly~’

After buying, Bai Yu glanced at the Red Moon Antique Shop and, seeing that Li Yunbin wasn’t coming out.

He then wandered around the antique street for a while, buying some things that looked quite old.

These things were not useless.

Just like that brush, it looked to be thirty or forty years old, and there was also a small bronze tripod and green copper coins. These things truly had the potential to become Ancient God items!

Perhaps one day, he would learn from intelligence that there was an Ancient God item in his room.

After twenty minutes of busyness, Bai Yu looked at the Red Moon Antique Shop from a distance. Seeing that Li Yunbin still hadn’t come out, and considering the many items he was holding, he decided to put them in the car first.

But suddenly, someone grabbed Bai Yu’s hand and shouted, ”Hey, little brother, don’t leave! Why don’t you check out my stall?”

Bai Yu frowned, but then his heart surged with joy.

’Heh heh~ Seeing me as a big spender, someone wants to scam me, right? Come, come, brother will show you what it means to act tough and then get slapped in the face.’

He looked back and indeed saw a burly man in a white short-sleeved shirt with a fierce face. Bai Yu’s eyes narrowed, looking as if he was flexing his muscles, ready to make a move.

But the big man scratched his head and, in broken Mandarin with a northern accent, said, ”Little brother, I’m not looking for trouble. I just saw that you’re interested in antiques and wanted to recommend some genuine items to you.”

Seeing that the man’s accent was friendly, a big contrast to his appearance, and that he was smiling and speaking nicely, Bai Yu relaxed.

However, he felt a little regretful in his heart.

Couldn’t he have been rude and caused me trouble?

”Then let’s take a look. I don’t have much time.”

”Alright! I guarantee you’ll be satisfied!”

Saying that, the man pulled Bai Yu a short distance, around a corner, to a stall.

Bai Yu carefully looked at the items on the stall; they indeed felt very old! There were also two or three people carefully examining them with magnifying glasses, looking very professional.

Liu Feifei also curiously squatted down, picking and choosing, and started looking.

The burly man, seeing this, honestly said, ”To be frank with you, these items are all collected by me from my hometown. They are all old things. As for their age, it depends on the customer’s eye. I only state the price.”

Due to the existence of Ancient God Ascension Items and the extraordinary system in this world, the antique market is quite unique. It’s rare for ordinary items to sell for tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of federal currency.

After all, it’s an extraordinary world, and money should be spent on the Righteous Path! Who would speculate on things that have no practical use?

And because items from any era, including modern creations, could potentially become Ancient God Ascension Items, the antique market in this world is very unique.

Bai Yu also makes time every day to understand this knowledge.

And seeing that the stall owner was not looking for trouble and seemed honest, Bai Yu, who was just spending money for fun, asked about the prices of a few items.

The lowest was five hundred federal currency, many were two or three thousand, and some were even more expensive.

The man indeed had the confidence to ask for these prices; after all, they were old items from decades or hundreds of years ago, and the possibility of them becoming Ancient God Ascension Items was indeed higher! It conformed to market prices.

After some consideration, Bai Yu spent six thousand federal currency to buy three slightly worn ivory bone tiles.

Liu Feifei was also a big spender, spending five thousand federal currency to buy a cup.

”Customers, please come again!”

Playing with the bone tiles in his hand, he thought to himself: ’Why do I feel like I can buy an Ancient God Ascension Item today? I’ve already spent nearly ten thousand federal currency... How extravagant!’

But converting it, it was less than a hundred Karma points, not even as much as his breakfast.

Walking back to the previous intersection, he also saw Li Yunbin walking out of the Red Moon Antique Shop.

Bai Yu and Liu Feifei quickly walked over, met up, and returned to the car.

In the car.

Everyone tacitly did not ask what the team leader had discussed with Old Zheng.

But Li Yunbin thought for a moment and then took the initiative to speak: ”Actually, the higher-ups asked us to investigate the Vampire Baron, but they don’t expect us to find any results.”

”Because... this involves a great deal, and with our strength, we simply cannot access deeper secrets.”

”If we truly investigate important information, there will likely be life-threatening danger.”

Bai Yu rolled his eyes when he heard this and said very directly, ”Captain, when did you become so indecisive when doing things? Just speak directly!”

Hearing this, Li Yunbin smiled and shook his head.

”Sigh~”

This sigh seemed to acknowledge Bai Yu’s words; he also felt that he clearly wanted to participate but was being hesitant.

Taking a deep breath, Li Yunbin stopped rambling and said, ”Then I’ll be direct. The Vampire clan is deeply connected, and there’s even a big fish in the Linghai Realm hidden among our internal high-ranking officials!”

”I want to investigate further, but there will indeed be life-threatening danger.”

Bai Yu heard this and, with a nonchalant tone, said, ”Hey~ I thought it was something big. Just the Linghai Realm? It’s not like an Odd God is personally descending...”

”A mere Linghai Realm, I want to see how they can kill me in front of my absolute ability!”

This arrogant tone truly exuded confidence!

Li Yunbin, half-jokingly, said, ”Perhaps an Odd God might actually be involved.”

Bai Yu’s smile froze: ”Captain, how could a small Baron encounter an Odd God? You’re joking, right?”

Hearing this, Li Yunbin said seriously, ”The Vampire clan is divided into different systems. Behind these Vampires with noble titles, there is an Ancestor. Even if it’s not an Ancestor, it could be an Earl, a Marquis, or even a Vampire Grand Duke! To us, that’s no different from a deity!”

”Uh, Captain, actually, I personally think that when we do things, we should be pragmatic and down-to-earth! Let the taller ones deal with the Odd God matters; it has nothing to do with us. With our current insignificant strength, we should just honestly catch a few blood slaves. What do you think?”

Li Yunbin smiled when he heard this.

”That won’t do! Others can choose not to participate, but you, young man, must participate. I’m still hoping to use your ability to turn misfortune into good fortune and catch the mastermind.”

Bai Yu cursed inwardly: ’Me!’
