Gaowu invasion, I can see the future

78: 60 million! ? I hate you just by looking at you!Two fingers, one thumb, and one pinky.

”Haha, you said too little! This is the disadvantage of not studying! There’s a full 60 million federal currency in this card!”

Bai Yu’s eyes widened. This number was definitely something he hadn’t expected.

Even if he were more ambitious, he probably would have only estimated around 20 million.

”Sixty million??? Is money that easy to earn? It’s faster than robbing a bank!”

”Look, this is shallow knowledge, isn’t it! Do you know the current economic landscape of the world?”

Hearing this, Bai Yu hesitated, then shook his head: ”This, I really don’t know much about.”

”Then I’ll be direct. There’s an iron ore mine near Tianhai City, originally valued at only five billion.”

”But through methods like the Spirit Gathering Array, precious black spirit iron has now been produced. Even if only one-thousandth of the iron has mutated, the estimated value can be as high as three hundred billion!”

”And this is just a medium-sized iron ore mine. Think carefully, in today’s world, with the existence of extraordinary abilities, how many resources can be exploited? How many times is the output value of these resources compared to the world’s economy?”

”Haven’t you noticed that after the Spiritual Qi resurgence, the economic growth rate of various administrative districts around the world has exceeded 5%? Some faster ones have even exceeded 10%.”

”To be able to promote such massive economic growth, there must be a reason.”

Bai Yu was stunned. Can it be played like this?

”Won’t this cause inflation?”

”These are materials from the extraordinary world. Only a very small portion is traded with federal currency; the vast majority are bartered. The federal currency earned from extraordinary materials is continuously invested back into economic construction and distributed to ordinary people.”

As he spoke, Professor Professor Wang Wen took on a lecturing tone and asked, ”You should be attending the auction at the end of the month, right?”

Bai Yu nodded: ”Yes, what about it?”

”This auction is to raise money to build a grand canal, do you know that?”

”The Captain did mention it.”

”Well, this grand canal will cost at least one hundred billion. Previously, with insufficient funds, it definitely couldn’t have been built, as its economic benefits weren’t particularly high. But now it’s different!”

”Our Ninth Administrative District possesses the most powerful industrial capacity! The top-tier infrastructure capabilities! Previously, there was a lack of funds. But now, with the extraordinary economic system, there’s naturally no need to worry about funding for these basic projects.”

”To better cope with the crisis, our administrative district will raise a large amount of funds and initiate various super projects! Through these projects, the large amount of funds earned from the wealthy will flow into the hands of ordinary people, promoting economic circulation.”

Bai Yu listened quite attentively, as this was indeed an area he hadn’t understood before.

But Professor Professor Wang Wen changed the subject, saying: ”This is a very complex issue. You haven’t read much, and there are many specialized terms that I can’t explain clearly at once. You just need to understand that sixty million is nothing in the field of scientific research!”

”With this money, you can consider getting into the Spirit Plant industry. I do have some mature Spirit Plant industries that I can recommend to you.”

Upon hearing this, the first thing Bai Yu thought of was the purple gold thunder bamboo.

Of course, other Spirit Medicines and the like could also be appropriately developed.

These are the true capital for after the full invasion of the Odd Gods in the future!

After a slight Epiphany, Bai Yu’s desire to earn money and engage in extraordinary industries intensified significantly.

The Ten-Spirit Tonic Soup, the speed of earning money is still a bit slow.

”Oh, by the way, Professor, I actually have a few good things in my possession.”

Upon hearing this, Professor Wang Wen unconsciously smiled.

”What is it?”

Seeing Professor Professor Wang Wen’s foxy cunning smile, Bai Yu suddenly came to his senses.

He thought to himself: Meow meow meow! Are you trying to bait me?

Although what he said was all correct, he intended to use it to lure me into revealing my achievements.

No! I can’t take the bait; I must maintain the initiative.

Bai Yu quickly composed himself and said, ”Let’s not talk about that for now. Let’s talk about Professor Feng instead.”

Professor Professor Wang Wen’s smile stiffened, and he cursed inwardly: This brat is really cunning! He’s still hiding that potion and not taking it out sooner.

I’m not going to eat you!

Did I give you less than your share by even one federal currency?

He felt a bit annoyed just thinking about it, and he said, ”I said a lot of good things about you in front of Old Feng! As for Old Feng, his temper can be a bit stubborn sometimes, but he’s not unreasonable. After some calm thought, he’ll understand.”

Bai Yu smiled upon hearing this: ”I wasn’t wrong about that matter! What good words are needed? If he honestly apologizes to me, I might forgive him. Moreover, this matter involves a secret that I haven’t even mentioned yet. Otherwise, he would have to honestly apologize to me.”

”What secret?”

”I won’t say.”

”Heh~!”

Professor Professor Wang Wen was so angry that his beard bristled and his eyes widened. He thought this brat was truly detestable.

After some thought, Professor Professor Wang Wen said, ”Actually, that guy Old Feng has already realized his mistake, but with his personality, he can’t bring himself to actively come to you. I can actually act as a go-between. For you, getting to know another professor is also a good thing. Moreover, I see you practice thunder techniques, and Old Feng’s attainments in this area are not shallow at all! He can help you a lot.”

”I have a Thunder Strike Talisman crafting technique. I’m thinking Professor Feng shouldn’t refuse, right? What’s more, there will be more things later.”

According to the records of Sky Thunder Body Tempering Method, his relationship with Professor Feng improved, and he even planted purple gold thunder bamboo.

So, not contacting him at all would also cut off his own path.

If the other party’s attitude is good, this matter can also be scheduled earlier!

He was also very curious about what exactly this purple gold thunder bamboo was; it sounded very high-end.

Professor Professor Wang Wen was stunned: ”You can also craft talismans?”

”Yes, but currently, I only know two.”

”Good boy! Do you know what level of development talisman crafting technology has reached now? It’s all about individual schools! It’s a very scattered stage. The papers are also varied and difficult to learn. I’m curious to see what you can come up with.”

Hearing this, Bai Yu recalled the Basic Talisman Crafting Art (1) he had obtained, which mentioned a total of 337 basic inscriptions.

This was in 2047, integrated only ten years later!

If he had a complete theory now, that would be something else.

However, he only obtained 16 types, plus the core inscription of the Thunder Strike Talisman, making it 17 types, which is not considered complete.

Thinking of this, Bai Yu said, ”The techniques I obtained primarily come from my own ancient god Legacy, and also that staff; I learned some inscriptions.”

”I don’t know much about inscriptions. If it’s thunder-elemental, you can talk to Old Feng about it. How about I help you contact him? You two can just reconcile.”

”Alright, I’ll have to see his attitude.”

”Then, young man, can you tell me about that potion now?”

Just then, the car stopped. Bai Yu looked out the window and saw they had arrived at the school gate.

”There are too many people inside the school. How about we arrange another time?”

Professor Professor Wang Wen said angrily, this kid is just teasing him!

”Get out! Get out! I can’t stand looking at you!”

”Hahahaha~”

As soon as he got out of the car, Bai Yu saw Zhang Youpeng, Wang Haobin, and the five girls he had met the day before yesterday.

Before arriving, Bai Yu had chatted with Zhang Youpeng in the dorm group.

Judging by the situation, they were clearly waiting for him, planning to watch the evening party together.

It’s just that they hadn’t expected Bai Yu to be accompanied by a seemingly important figure.

Zhang Youpeng saw Professor Professor Wang Wen and felt a bit awkward greeting him, fearing he might be a powerful extraordinary person.

Wang Haobin didn’t understand these things. He waved his hand and said, ”Hi~ Bai Yu, over here! Over here!”

Seeing this, Bai Yu walked over.

Professor Professor Wang Wen didn’t interrupt and followed along.

Everyone exchanged simple greetings, while Professor Professor Wang Wen waited not far away.

Seeing this situation, Bai Yu could only say, ”I might have to chat with Professor Professor Wang Wen tonight. You all go ahead and do your own thing.”

Wang Haobin asked curiously, ”Professor?”

”Yes, from our school.”

Upon hearing this, Wang Haobin’s eyes lit up.

Could it be that Bai Yu had entered the field of scientific research? Taking on a project could indeed earn him a lot of money!

He had heard before that several undergraduates working under professors, who were all Geniuses with excellent programming skills, took on a military project worth millions! They only worked for half a month and completed it, each person receiving ten to twenty thousand.

The internet industry is absolutely lucrative!

The bulk of the money was naturally taken by the supervisor. After all, in this industry, being able to get projects is the real skill.

And there’s a reason why graduate students are called ’oxen and horses’.

Professor Professor Wang Wen, upon hearing that Bai Yu had finished greeting and intended to continue chatting with him, walked over.

Sun Yao saw Professor Professor Wang Wen and politely said, ”Hello, Professor Professor Wang Wen!”

The two girls beside her also greeted him.

Professor Professor Wang Wen nodded in satisfaction upon hearing this. Although he didn’t recognize the girl, he thought to himself, ”Hmph! These students are polite. Much better than that brat Bai Yu!”

Bai Yu, on the other hand, was a bit surprised and said, ”Do you all know each other?”

Sun Yao felt that Bai Yu’s choice of words was a bit inappropriate. It was normal for them to know the professor, but the professor didn’t know them.

So she said somewhat awkwardly, ”We’re from the School of Medicine and have taken Professor Professor Wang Wen’s elective course.”

Now it was Wang Haobin’s turn to be curious.

Bai Yu was clearly from the Software Engineering Department, so how did he suddenly get involved with a professor from the School of Medicine?

Could it be that he transferred departments? Then who had he been living with all these years?

Wait! This could very well be the reason for Bai Yu’s sudden transformation.

Professor Professor Wang Wen intended to continue chatting with Bai Yu and didn’t plan to stay long, so he looked at Bai Yu and said, ”Brat, let’s go. We can talk properly on the way.”

”Hey, what’s your hurry?”

However, since Professor Professor Wang Wen had spoken, the students didn’t dare to pester him and quickly said goodbye.

Everyone watched as Professor Professor Wang Wen took Bai Yu away, but their conversation had a strong sense of mutual teasing.

”I was chatting with my friends, and you stood there, putting too much pressure on us. You’re so old, yet still so thoughtless.”

”Hmph! Do you, brat, not understand how to respect your elders? How can you bear to leave an old man like me alone? If I had known, I wouldn’t have given you that card just now.”

”That’s what I deserve! If you don’t give it to me, I’ll report you.”

”Go ahead and report me. Let’s see who gets caught.”

Listening to their conversation, Sun Yao and the others couldn’t help but look at each other.

Just how terrifying was this student’s background? Talking to a professor like that?

Wang Haobin also couldn’t help but ask curiously, ”Yao Yao, what level is this professor?”

”I looked into it back then. He’s the Vice Dean of our School of Medicine, has won many major awards, holds a very high position, and has at least five associate professor-level students under him. His entire lineage has at least three hundred people.”

Hearing this, they were stunned. They were top students from Tianhai City and seemed to be highly educated.

But after truly entering society, most people would just be ordinary workers.

And a professor’s social status was quite high! They might be the highest-level people they would ever encounter in their lives.

Wang Haobin was also dumbfounded. He thought he was just an ordinary associate professor, but he was already at the Vice Dean level!

He couldn’t help but look at Zhang Youpeng, putting his arm around his shoulder, and said, ”You, buddy, can’t you tell me what’s going on?”

Zhang Youpeng scratched his head and said, ”Brother Yu didn’t arrange a month-long challenge, did he? If you can complete it, Brother Yu will definitely tell you.”

.”I need to warm up first before trying.”

Hearing this, Zhang Youpeng could only sigh, ”Brother Yu’s grasp of human nature is still very accurate. Wang Haobin is indeed not suitable for understanding the extraordinary world. If it were him, he might have just told him directly, thinking of him as a good friend.”

On the other side, unable to resist Professor Professor Wang Wen’s persistence, Bai Yu finally chose to give the Red Horse Herb Potion formula to Professor Professor Wang Wen.

Anyway, he had the Golden Finger. The last time he got the Red Horse Herb Potion, the reason seemed to be that he saw Professor Professor Wang Wen go to the cafeteria to find someone to test a new research product for cleansing Meridians.

Today’s acquisition of the Thunder Strike Talisman might be related to Professor Feng to some extent.

From this perspective, after connecting with figures like professors, he should encounter more research-related information.

Professor Professor Wang Wen instantly became deeply interested after hearing about the research content.

He was even more excited when he learned that the Seventh Team Bai Yu was in was also using it.

He didn’t even dare to use his own new research products directly. But Bai Yu dared to use it himself, which meant the technology was very mature.

After hearing some information about the Red Horse Herb Potion, Professor Professor Wang Wen was somewhat excited and said, ”Haha~ Where did you get this ability, kid?”

”Hey, I usually like to tinker with bottles and jars, and it just came out easily.”

”...”

If research were all that simple, wouldn’t I be showered with honors and crowned as a God? How could I still be frowning every day!

After getting a bottle of Red Horse Herb Potion from Bai Yu, Professor Professor Wang Wen drank it without a word.

Bai Yu was speechless. Why was he so impatient?

During their conversation, everyone also leisurely arrived at the open-air stadium the school had arranged for the evening party.

In the center of the stadium, a stage was set up.

The venue was similar to a football field, with fan-shaped seating around it, where people could sit anywhere.

Bai Yu and Professor Professor Wang Wen, along with their four bodyguards, found a corner and sat down.

Zhang Youpeng and the others sat in a slightly lower position not far away.

Bai Yu glanced at the scene, estimating that in a 3,000-person venue, it was only 6:40 PM, and about 1/5 of the seats were already occupied.

It was still summer vacation, and to have so many people was quite lively!

He then looked at Professor Professor Wang Wen, who was meditating with his eyes closed beside him. He was clearly circulating his Qi!

”This old man doesn’t even pay attention to appearances.”

”I’ll go play by myself.”

Saying that, he walked towards Zhang Youpeng and the others.

”Brother Yu!”

”Come! Brother Yu, sit here.”

Seeing Bai Yu approach, Zhang Youpeng excitedly made room.

Bai Yu patted Zhang Youpeng’s shoulder, looked at the others, and said, ”By the way, what are the programs for tonight’s party? Is there a program list?”

Wang Haobin happened to be looking at the schedule and handed over his phone, saying, ”There are thirty programs in total. Half of them are singing, a few are dancing, a few are cross-talk, one is martial arts, one is a chorus, and one is a poetry recitation.”

Bai Yu scanned it and felt it was decent.

Afterward, on the girls’ side, Wang Mengmeng awkwardly came over to thank him for saving her life.

When she was just cured the day before yesterday, her mind was a bit unclear, and she didn’t know exactly what happened. She only realized how dangerous it was afterward! So, finding a suitable opportunity at this moment, she came to thank him.

Bai Yu listened, and politely said, ”It’s all minor issues, just a small effort.”

The Investigation Bureau treats such illnesses for free.

After all, the Special Investigation Bureau’s funding was quite ample!

Zhang Youpeng suddenly saw something and said, ”Brother Yu, look! It’s Sun Yi from our dorm. We saw him when we came over just now, walking with another group of people.”

There were six people in the dorm: Bai Yu, Zhang Youpeng, Wang Haobin, Li Hua, Liang Yunfei, and Sun Yi.

This Sun Yi was originally on campus during his freshman year, but then he disappeared.

Bai Yu had discussed the dormmates’ situations with Zhang Youpeng, guessing that Sun Yi might know about the existence of the extraordinary world!

Otherwise, the school wouldn’t have brought up mandatory withdrawal, nor would they have inquired about the specific situation at all.

At that time, they thought he had a strong background, and now it seemed he indeed had a strong background, related to the extraordinary.

Bai Yu also looked over and found Sun Yi with another group of people.

This group was clearly led by a young man with a few strands of purple hair.

Seeing this, Bai Yu frowned. These dozen or so people all looked like extraordinary beings! And they all looked like students.

During his time in the Investigation Bureau, he hadn’t encountered this group at all!

It was quite interesting...

Wang Haobin noticed the change in Bai Yu’s expression and asked curiously, ”What’s wrong?”

”Nothing, just curious to see a dormmate who hasn’t been back to the dorm in many years.”

Zhang Youpeng seemed to think Wang Haobin might be suspicious, so he immediately pointed to another place and said, ”Brother Yu, your ex-girlfriend and Wu Hao are over there.”

”Oh, right! Your ex-ex-girlfriend Liu Ruoxi is in the seats opposite. She’s going to sing tonight and is dressed very beautifully. Do you want to go take a look?”

Bai Yu gritted his teeth, ”I really want to hit someone!”

Why was it always ex-girlfriend, ex-ex-girlfriend?

Thinking of this, he patted Zhang Youpeng’s head and cursed, ”Are you playing Battlefield, marking targets here?

”And also, from now on, just call them by their names. Always calling them ex-girlfriend, ex-ex-girlfriend makes me sound like a playboy.”

If he really were a playboy, he would admit it. But he really hadn’t done such a thing!

However, he was still a bit curious and asked, ”By the way, where was Liu Ruoxi?”

Zhang Youpeng heard this and excitedly pointed to a certain spot opposite, saying, ”She’s right there in the seats opposite. Do you want to go take a look?”

Bai Yu’s heart stirred. Tonight’s event was related to Liu Ruoxi, so he had to see it.

It was definitely not out of curiosity about how beautiful this Young Miss was dressed.

”Let’s go, let’s go!”

Although Wang Haobin was glared at by his girlfriend... he still followed along.
