Chapter 1: Future Information? Death Foretold
July 2037.
Blue Star Federation, Ninth Administrative Region.
Tianhai City, Jiangnan Apartment.
Outside the window, the rain pattered.
Inside.
“Hoo~ ha~”
“Hoo ha“
His hands pressed firmly against the ground, each push-up using his full strength, his breathing growing increasingly rapid.
Bai Yu gritted his teeth, his muscles burning with pain, sweat streaming down his back and dripping onto the floor.
“Hoo~ cough cough~ I can’t hold on anymore.”
Losing his last bit of strength, his body collapsed heavily onto the ground, his face pressed against the cold floor.
He slowly rolled over, lying flat on his back on the floor, arms spread wide, letting the sweat spread beneath him.
He closed his eyes, feeling the exhaustion and soreness throughout his body, his breathing gradually stabilizing.
Just then, a voice sounded in his ear: 【Mission Four: Push-ups 100/100, completed, Intelligence Value +5】
【First day’s mission completed, loading intelligence】
“One hundred squats, push-ups, sit-ups, and ten kilometers,” he muttered, his voice laced with exhaustion and confusion.
“The missions are set up like something out of One-Punch Man. Am I going to shave my head tomorrow and become invincible?”
He said it half-jokingly, but a sliver of anticipation for the Golden Finger’s functions flickered in his heart.
His gaze also fell upon the virtual interface that was loading before him.
The interface maintained a fixed distance from him, as if protected by an invisible barrier.
Coming from the mysterious great Eastern country, Bai Yu had already experienced the absurd event of transmigration, so he naturally accepted this sudden appearance with ease.
At this moment, the screen showed a slight change.
【Loading complete.】
【Intelligence Value: 20】
【Intelligence One（Gray）
Keyword: Soybean Market
Required Intelligence Value: 1】
【Intelligence Two（Gray）
Keyword: Flood
Required Intelligence Value: 1】
【Intelligence Three（White）
Keyword: City Destruction Disaster
Required Intelligence Value: 5】
【Intelligence Four（White）
Keyword: Car Accident
Required Intelligence Value: 5】
Looking at the four intelligence boxes before him, Bai Yu stroked his chin, his expression peculiar as he pondered.
“Judging by the keywords alone, it seems like a precognitive ability. This aligns with my expectations.”
“But what the heck is this ‘City Destruction Disaster’? This world I transmigrated to is a modern society governed by law, after all. Could someone really be that insane?”
He couldn’t help but frown.
“Unless it’s the First Administrative Region, the territory of the Eagles, where someone smuggles a few trucks of Patriot missiles and carries out a terrorist attack directly in the city.”
Upon reflection, this world actually had this possibility! He had been here for a month, read various news, and understood that public security was significantly worse than in his previous life.
Without overthinking, he glanced at the 20 Intelligence Value he had gained today and directly clicked on Intelligence One.
Confirmed purchase.
He intended to investigate further.
The next moment, lines of text appeared before him.
【July 14, 2037: A large-scale flood disaster occurred in Rio State, Fourth Administrative Region, severely damaging the main soybean-producing areas.
Under the propaganda of international grain merchants and manipulation of the futures market, soybean prices began a continuous surge from a low of 2.23 Federal Currency per jin, reaching a high of 3.61 Federal Currency per jin on July 25th, within the next half month.】
Bai Yu had some understanding of futures. The original owner had also joined several groups that taught stock trading, and some people in those groups dealt with futures.
Most people had only heard the word ‘futures’ on short video platforms.
When they first heard about it, they probably thought that if the market price was 2 Federal Currency per jin today, it would rise to 3 Federal Currency per jin in half a month.
According to elementary school math, they would naturally assume that investing a hundred thousand yuan would only yield fifty thousand yuan, but that’s not the case! What you could truly earn might be five hundred thousand!
However, Bai Yu didn’t dare to play with such high-risk things and usually only dared to buy low-risk funds.
“Today is July 11th, and the flood disaster mentioned in the intelligence is only three days away.”
“If this news is true, the two to three hundred thousand yuan in compensation money in my bank card could become seven figures!” he thought excitedly.
But when it came to money, Bai Yu became more cautious.
He couldn’t be sure if the intelligence provided by the Golden Finger was real.
“Then I’ll look at the next piece of intelligence.”

Title: Great Flood in Jipu City, 21st Administrative Region, Giant Creatures Appear!
Brothers, today I bring you shocking news.
The 21st Administrative Region’s Jipu City experienced a great flood, with an average water depth of 15 meters throughout the city, affecting two million people.
The above is not the key point, the following is the main part!!!
Now, eyewitnesses claim to have seen giant creatures underwater, suspected to be legendary Giant Dragons! Yes, the kind of Giant Dragons that only appear in myths!
There were also intelligent beings like Fishmen, Serpentmen, and Lizardmen.
Reportedly, there were also the legendary Cthulhu sea monsters!
This is absolutely not a fabrication; videos are already going viral online, and the authorities definitely can’t keep it under wraps.

Seeing this information, Bai Yu’s brows furrowed into a grimace.
“What is all this?”
He carefully checked the time; it was something that would happen a year later! However, it couldn’t be verified in the short term.
But the last few pictures looked incredibly real.
Submerged cities, giant shadows in the water, strange massive destruction on buildings.
“Is this world not a normal technological world?”
Bai Yu’s emotions were complex at this moment. He eagerly wished to become a supreme powerhouse, admired by thousands, like the protagonists in novels, in a High Martial world.
But he was also a bit cowardly, feeling that he lacked the immense power to face such a situation.
Without further ado, he looked at the remaining two pieces of intelligence.
They required 5 Intelligence Value, and their worth seemed higher.
He purchased Intelligence Three!

Title: Grief! Tianhai Base City Falls, Tens of Millions Dead! Where is Humanity’s Future?
Last night, Tianhai Base City was enveloped by an unknown barrier.
Participating in this City Destruction Disaster were seven Alien Gods, the God of Fishmen – Rastel Bord, the Ancestor of Blood – Dracula It.

“Tianhai Base City! Tianhai City!”
Bai Yu flipped through the pictures, seeing destroyed walls, collapsed skyscrapers, and smoking armored vehicles.
From many of the traces, he could tell it was Tianhai City! Especially the Qingyun River in the city center.
Seeing this, Bai Yu began to believe it by about fifty percent.
After all, if the flood disaster and the soybean price increase three days from now were true, it was almost certain that these seemingly absurd Extraordinary intelligence reports were also real!
“2057, which is twenty years from now. Not too long, not too short.”
“Seven Alien Gods, involving gods… they seem difficult to deal with. How can mortals grow to the level of confronting gods in twenty years!?”
“Hoo~”
He took a deep breath and, without further ado, purchased the last piece of intelligence.

Title: Man, defrauded of 300,000, crashes into Female Streamer in anger and flees, resulting in 7 deaths and 5 injuries.
Three days ago, on the evening of July 12th at 11 PM, near Yongcheng Street in Jiangnan District, a man drove his car into a crowd, causing seven deaths and five injuries, before fleeing the scene.
The deceased were Jiang Moumou, Lei Mou, and Bai Mou.
Currently, the Jiangnan District Law Enforcement Bureau】
He carefully examined the time and location.
Bai Yu stood up, walked to the balcony, and looked at the buildings outside and the street below.
“Isn’t Jiangnan District’s Yongcheng Street right here?”
“And a Female Streamer!”
His identity in this world was a soon-to-be senior year student majoring in Computer Science at Tianhai University.
It was currently summer vacation, and he was interning at Thunder Media Company.
The office building opposite was where he worked, with hundreds of streamers going crazy there every day.
He was an editor, responsible for editing short videos, with a monthly salary of six thousand.
“Deceased Bai Mou. Damn it, isn’t there only one person in the entire company with the surname Bai and two characters in their name!?”
First Order of one thousand, rising to an average order of 1800 within a week. The upward trend is good. The new book is strongly recommended with fourteen thousand collections in seven days, suppressing all competitors of the same period. Smooth writing is a given. Character issues are all realistic; it’s not about being toxic, you can at most say it’s cliché.
One, this book is High Martial and Otherworld Invasion, following a late-game progression, aiming to create a grand worldview as much as possible.（Ideas are already in mind）
Two, this book will update 120,000 words within seven days. There are still 100,000 words in manuscript. You can rest assured about the large update volume.
Three, this is not a “nanny” novel. Early on, a few words lead to major accusations and immediate full service. I am very realistic; readers who don’t see it shelved can complain a bit, but cursing will result in immediate full service.
The ex-girlfriend and ex-ex-girlfriend are common urban plot points inherited from the original owner’s relationships. This is cliché, and I’m using it, but it’s not mindless, nor does it take up a significant portion of the story. Moreover, if the beginning were perfect, I estimate the first order would be two to three thousand.
