Chapter 69: Obscuring Heavenly Secrets, Meeting an Acquaintance at Futures Closing
Qingyun River, Cloud Lake, Qing Lake.
Quite a few lurking Fishmen have surfaced.
Didn’t the Priest order them to stand by? To be ready to attack humans at any time.
The rain stopped? What’s the point of playing now!
Everyone go home.
It’s just that the way this rain stopped looks very strange.
A certain dark corner.
Watching the rain in the sky suddenly stop, the Priest in the shadows couldn’t help but pause the great magic array beneath her feet.
She immediately roared, “Damn it!”
She immediately cast a technique, using the power of the gods to begin peeking, to see who exactly had stopped this heavy rainstorm.
“Hmm? Heavenly Luck’s protection? What kind of method is this…”
She calmly considered, feeling that a powerful Transcendent, unknown to her, must have appeared in Tianhai City.
If these things are not clarified,
“If we rashly proceed with the Tide Ritual, our clan’s influence in Tianhai City might suffer a heavy blow and we will never be able to develop further.”
In the past few days, the Fishman Race has undergone a major purge, with so many being annihilated, but at least the existences in the Spirit Sea Realm have not been harmed.
“This Tianhai City is an important stronghold of the Human Race; we cannot easily damage its foundation for now.”
“Hmph! Then I’ll let you off for now.”
That’s what she said, but the more she thought about it, the angrier she became!
The main reason is that she couldn’t figure out who had predicted the treasure in Cloud Lake in advance, and now has the ability to stop this rainstorm.
It’s too weird! She actually didn’t find anything at all.
Someone must have obscured the Heavenly Secrets.
“Since we don’t know who the Human Race expert interfering in this matter is, let’s halt our actions!”
The various events that occurred today directly interrupted the further plans of the Fishman Race.
On the surface, it only seemed like a rainstorm stopped, but the Investigation Bureau’s high-level officials and the Alien Races had a lot more to consider afterward.
Regarding the accumulated rainwater, Tianhai City’s drainage department also reacted quickly, beginning to process it rapidly, and completed the silt removal work on the road surface in a short period of time.
Dinner time.
Canteen.
Li Yunbin seemed to still be cultivating and had not arrived.
Bai Yu walked towards Liu Feifei and the others, only to see his teammates looking at him.
“What’s wrong? Have I become even more handsome?”
Liu Feifei snorted, “Hmph! You’ve got a thick skin, but you’re not that handsome.”
“Come on, eat well.”
After dinner, they didn’t go on patrol; they had to at least lie low for a while.
On the way back to the dormitory, Liu Feifei impatiently asked, “Did Little White Dragon make the rain stop?”
“Mm.”
“Then I’ll go to your room, can you call it out?”
“I’ll ask her.”
Little White Dragon’s voice carried a hint of joy, “Okay~”
Bai Yu, however, relayed, “She said she wants to sleep.”
“Ah? Okay…”
Little White Dragon was confused, with a hint of annoyance, and asked, “Why did you lie to this sister?”
‘To tease her, it’s fun. Haha.’
“Hmph! Bad guy!”
Afterwards, Bai Yu didn’t hide it anymore and brought everyone back to his room. The White Dragon was also released.
With no patrol duty, everyone gathered together to look at the White Dragon, which was quite interesting.
The small white dragon looked quite cute, and its voice was like a cute little girl’s, giving off a feeling of being doted on by everyone.
Everyone also communicated with the White Dragon, transmitting their worldview, saving Bai Yu from having to shout until his throat was hoarse.
After everyone left, Bai Yu began to record the two pieces of intelligence he had obtained today.
Upon seeing the information about the Third Stage Vampire Clan Modified Being, Bai Yu was also considering whether to tell the others in the Seventh Group and capture it on the spot.
Or should he let this guy buy it, take a picture of his appearance, hand it over to the Investigation Bureau, and then track his movements to see if he could follow the clues and catch a Big Fish.
Who knows, he might uncover a new Sin Blood Potion researcher or other Big Fish!
“By the way, Bai Ling, what’s your strength?”
Bai Ling was the name they decided on that night after discussing with the White Dragon.
“I should be in the middle stage of the Third Realm now.”
“A bit weak.”
“Hmph! You’re only in the Qi Gathering Realm, you trash.”
Bai Yu: . Damn it, that was a word Liu Feifei just used, and she learned it so quickly!
“Alright, Spirit Yuan Realm is also quite strong.”
Actually, Bai Yu also wanted to ask if Little White Dragon was responsible for the Jumping-into-the-river case.
But if it was really related, he felt the situation would be a bit awkward.
He’d rather wait and see if the Jumping-into-the-river case reappears later.
Since there was nothing to do today, Bai Yu briefly recorded the things he needed to do tomorrow: The futures trading needs to be settled. Go to the Antique Street early to find Moyuan’s Divine Brush.
Afterwards, he began to cultivate and fell into a deep sleep.
Before six o’clock.
Bai Yu woke up.
A crisp voice rang out, “Good morning~”
Bai Yu stretched, and hearing this cute voice, he couldn’t help but smile, “Good morning! Bai Ling.”
He then directly revealed his intelligence panel. This Dragon Pearl was in his Soul Sea, so it was unavoidable.
【 Intelligence 1 （ Gray ）
Keyword: Wang Haobin
Required Intelligence Value: 1 】
【 Intelligence 2 （ White ）
Keyword: Wang Mengmeng
Required Intelligence Value: 5 】
【 Intelligence 3 （ Green ）
Keyword: Heavenly Thunder Tempering Technique
Required Intelligence Value: 20 】
【 Intelligence 4 （ Green ）
Keyword: Fishman Sorcerer
Required Intelligence Value: 20 】
Bai Yu quickly scanned the keywords.
This first intelligence is too weak!
Besides, this guy is his roommate; he doesn’t even know what kind of underwear he wears.
The key point is that this guy has been back for a week and hasn’t returned to the dormitory. His girlfriend also returned to school, and they left the school gate together.
You can guess what they’re doing just by guessing! They’re probably rolling in the sheets!
Meow meow meow! Forgetting friends for a woman.
“It’s not even worth wasting one Intelligence Value.”
“Hmm? What is Brother Bai Yu talking about?”
This confused Bai Yu, who couldn’t help but ask, “Can’t you see it?”
“See… what?”
Bai Yu’s eyes rolled. He had never dared to reveal his Golden Finger to others.
So no one could see it!
He said, “I’m looking at something special. Only you and I know about this, and you can’t tell anyone else.”
Bai Ling readily agreed, “Okay…”
But her tone carried a hint of regret; she couldn’t see it.
After excluding the first one, Bai Yu immediately looked at the second piece of intelligence.
What was puzzling was that he had never heard of this person at all!
She looks like a girl.
Will he meet her today?
Then he’ll wait until he meets her.
The last two pieces of intelligence, one is the Heavenly Thunder Tempering Technique, which looks like it’s for improving strength! This is something he will definitely exchange for.
As for the Fishman Sorcerer, he’ll see.
His current main objective is to capture the Vampire Clan and break the Blood Pool case mentioned in the intelligence!
The Fishmen have already been severely hit. He doesn’t need to spend a full 20 Intelligence Value to catch a Spirit Yuan Realm level character.
After considering, Bai Yu began his training for the day.
After quickly obtaining thirty points, Bai Yu didn’t rush to exchange for the information on the Heavenly Thunder Tempering Technique.
There was no need to rush this. He would consider whether to exchange for it after seeing what happened today.
What if the Fishman Sorcerer was targeting him today? Then he would definitely choose that intelligence!
Nine in the morning.
Bai Yu greeted the others in his group and then went out, planning to finalize the contract at the Exchange before going to get Moyuan’s Divine Brush.
Although the others were worried, they also knew that Bai Yu’s ability was Divination of Fortune and Misfortune, and he was now accompanied by a Dragon, so his safety was guaranteed to some extent, and they did not try to dissuade him.
He took a taxi and arrived, and the Exchange was also open.
Before Bai Yu arrived, he had already sent a message to the Trader, Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen’s attitude was much more enthusiastic.
After all, judging by the Soybean Futures Bai Yu bought, his assets had increased more than fivefold!
He walked into the building and scanned the surroundings.
There were quite a few people!
Bai Yu quickly found the Trader, Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen also saw Bai Yu approaching and stood up enthusiastically, saying, “Haha~ Mr. Bai is here. Your Soybean Futures contract will be settled today. I’m currently processing it, and it should take a few minutes.”
“Okay.”
The processing wasn’t particularly troublesome, so Trader Xiao Chen took the opportunity to ask, “Mr. Bai, would you like to withdraw this money, or would you like to keep it in your account to purchase other futures?”
Before Bai Yu arrived, he had reviewed the information on Oil Futures.
【 On July 29, 2037, multiple refineries in the Seventeenth Administrative Region experienced explosions.
Within a week, international crude oil futures prices surged from 482.5 Federal Currency/barrel to 553 Federal Currency/barrel 】
The increase was only 14.6%, which is just doubling the assets, not enough for a huge profit.
“Erm, I’ll go take a look at the price trend charts for the major futures first.”
“Okay, Mr. Bai.”
Bai Yu looked at the futures price trend charts, which was just for show. After about twenty minutes, he returned to Xiao Chen.
The settlement price was 3.54 Federal Currency/jin. Excluding the 200,000 margin placed here, Bai Yu’s actual profit was 1.088 million.
It felt like making money was really easy!
Trader Xiao Chen also said, “Mr. Bai, the contract has been processed.”
“Yes, then withdraw one million from the account and purchase Oil Futures.”
“Oil?”
Xiao Chen’s tone was a little confused.
Commodities like oil and gold are unlikely to have significant fluctuations under stable world order.
Unlike things like soybeans, which are controlled by groups working together, allowing prices to be manipulated.
In the current situation, oil prices are volatile curves with little profit to be made.
There’s a chance of a drop and a forced liquidation.
But after thinking about it, Bai Yu looked young and didn’t seem to have much financial knowledge. Buying Soybean Futures might have been good luck.
Now that he had one million in funds, even small fluctuations could earn a lot, so there was no need for aggressive investments.
And he was just a trader, so he wouldn’t say much and would just operate honestly.
The subsequent operation process was underway, but while Bai Yu was waiting, someone walked towards Xiao Chen.
At first, Bai Yu didn’t notice, and the person didn’t see Bai Yu clearly.
He just walked up to the trader and said calmly, “Xiao Chen, deposit one million.”
He hadn’t finished speaking when he suddenly noticed Bai Yu, was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, “Bai Yu, classmate, what are you doing here?”
Bai Yu looked at the person and was also surprised, “Deputy Director Xu!”
Good news: I’ve been promoted to a new book recommendation, and the collection effect is slightly better than Sanjiang. I’ll be shelving next Monday, which is equivalent to a week early.
Important things to say three times: Shelving next Monday! Shelving next Monday! Shelving next Monday!
I actually have a lot I want to say to everyone about this book, but after thinking about it, I’ll put more content in the shelving announcement.
Here, I’ll briefly discuss the most important shelving update issue, and reveal a little: the manuscript is… 140,000 words.
Don’t look at the large manuscript, it’s consumed quickly. Last year, my book reached 1.3 million characters, but in reality, the manuscript was depleted at 600,000 characters, and I couldn’t maintain it afterwards. But that book was about Chinese sentiment, similar to books like “Contract Ancestor” from the same period, belonging to the “explosively satisfying but bound to collapse” type.
During the new book period, some plot loops require tens of thousands of words, making it difficult for readers to follow, but after shelving, it will definitely be much better! 25,000 words on the first day of shelving, 20,000 words on the second day, and then maintain 10,000 words daily, with occasional bonus updates （ Specific bonus updates will be announced after shelving ）.
I must ensure I have 50,000-100,000 words in manuscript. Because of this book, you should understand that the closure of each long-term intelligence loop doesn’t come out of nowhere. It’s something I refine later as I write, so please don’t urge me to empty my manuscript. I must ensure I have a manuscript to write with peace of mind.
Lastly, due to the author’s addiction to being a “taijian” (leaving works unfinished), your trust may be greatly reduced. But I have truly just had an epiphany. For the past four years, I’ve been writing for love, even for four yuan per hour, and I’ve written millions of words. For this book, I want to challenge myself. And I’m waiting to reach LV5 to invite everyone into the group and achieve great things in the next book!
