Chapter 37: Seventh Page, Entering the Treasure Vault
A simple gathering ended quickly.
Bai Yu and Zhang Youpeng chatted for a while.
Nothing major had happened these past two days; Zhang Youpeng was focused on fitness, and his interest in gossip had waned.
It was just a matter of time before Wang Haobin returned to school and the party.
Inside the room.
Bai Yu, now with free time, turned his attention to the last piece of intelligence for the day: 【The Secret of the Golden Page】
“I want to see what this secret is all about.”
Select purchase!
【September 17, 2037
The captain mentioned that a wealthy individual obtained a golden page that looks just like mine.
I immediately inquired and learned that this wealthy individual purchased a book titled 《Secret Art of Peace》 at a special auction held on July 31st, jointly organized by the Investigation Bureau and some wealthy socialites. The golden page was acquired from it.
I attended that auction, but unfortunately, my attention was focused on that brat Lei Tao, and I didn’t have the money to acquire it! Now, I regret it, I regret it, I super regret it!
November 29
Months have passed, and I’ve tried various methods. The captain and others have also helped communicate, hoping to assist me in obtaining that golden page, but the wealthy individual has remained unyielding.
December 27
Hahaha~ Good, good, good! This brat colluded with an alien race, you are already courting death!
Just wait, I will eventually reclaim everything that belongs to me!
Hehehe~
However, I always feel this matter is related to the Lei Family, but I can’t find any evidence.
January 15, 2038
This wealthy individual was crushed!
That golden page was also successfully retrieved from the alien race.
But I discovered that this golden page is not the seventh one I imagined, but has a peculiar connection with the first golden page in my hand.
Damn! The two golden pages actually fused, amazing!
More advanced spiritual arts appeared within.】
Bai Yu looked carefully.
As expected of me when I’m alone, I’m a bit wild!
“The first point is the auction on July 31st, I must go!”
“The second point is that this wealthy individual colluded with an alien race, a big fish! It’s a shame I don’t know who it is, but I can check it out later. Perhaps it’s related to the Lei Family and the Vampire Clan Baron.”
“The third point, the Lei Family! My own opportunity with the Wordless Heavenly Book was taken from him, and I even got three more pages. I didn’t expect it to be mentioned in this diary.”
He returned to his apartment this afternoon, burned his notebook, and then recorded all the information onto a USB drive.
Lei Tao, the Lei Family, colluded with the Blood Ancestor God, and conducted forbidden experiments, a tumor!
“However, from all aspects, the outbreak of the Vampire Clan’s influence is at the end of the year.”
“This means that the Seventh Group might not have made much progress in half a year of investigation.”
He took out his notebook and quickly recorded the information onto the USB drive.
At the same time, he began to organize his thoughts.
Around eight in the evening.
Bai Yu continued to circulate his energy, digesting the ingredients, and improving his spiritual energy.
He thought nothing else would happen tonight, but he received a message from the Group Leader.
“Contribution points have been settled.”
“Come to the entrance, we’re driving to the Jiangnan Treasure Vault.”
“We’ll discuss the specifics in the car.”
Seeing this message, Bai Yu’s eyes lit up. The contribution points had finally arrived.
He just didn’t know if he could obtain the items mentioned in the intelligence this time.
In the car.
“Dong~”
The door closed, the interior lights dimmed, and the car slowly started, driving onto the road.
Li Yunbin glanced at the rearview mirror and said, “Before we talk about contribution points, I want to know why Professor Wang Wen asked me if our group had developed any spiritual food?”
To be honest, he was truly surprised after receiving the news!
Solving cases was one thing, but now he had attracted Professor Wang Wen’s attention.
Hearing this, Liu Feifei’s eyes gleamed with excitement. She really wanted to talk about it.
But Bai Yu had told her last night not to reveal anything, otherwise, he wouldn’t tell her any more secrets in the future.
She could only pout, unhappy.
But she didn’t expect the Group Leader to know!
This would be interesting.
Hearing this, Bai Yu’s expression turned a bit awkward: “Well… that’s a long story.”
“It’s fine, take your time. No rush. It’s a half-hour drive, and we can even extend it.”
“Then I’ll make a long story short. I made a meal myself this afternoon, and it tasted pretty good. It just so happened to attract Professor Wang Wen’s attention. That’s basically it.”
Zhao Bin and the others, who had become interested, fell silent upon hearing such a concise explanation.
“.”
Li Yunbin thought for a moment and said, “It seems Professor Wang Wen wants the recipe but is too proud to ask directly.”
“Then we’ll wait until he swallows his pride.”
Bai Yu said this with absolute confidence!
Damn it! No matter who you are, in front of me, if you’re a dragon, you have to coil up; if you’re a tiger, you have to lie down.
He was also very proud.
“Alright.”
Hearing this, Li Yunbin no longer dwelled on it.
He thought that if it could help the professor’s research, revealing it wouldn’t hurt.
Skipping this topic, Li Yunbin began discussing the distribution of contribution points.
“This time, for the Fishman Followers and the various Fishmen captured afterward, the higher-ups have allocated thirty-five thousand contribution points to our Seventh Group.”
“Plus the dagger case, the advanced Fishman…”
“I calculated that you can get eight thousand five hundred contribution points. Then, there are two spots for the Third-Level Treasure Vault, and I’ll cover five thousand for one of them, making it a total of 13,500 contribution points.”
“What do you think?”
13,500 contribution points is equivalent to 1.35 million Federal Currency.
The key point is that even with money, you can’t buy spiritual items.
“My daily wage is already over a million. The Seventh Group’s goal is the meaning of my existence! I will live and die with the Seventh Group!”
“Haha~”
Tianhai City has a total of two treasure vaults.
One is in Jiangnan, and the other is in Jiangbei.
Bai Yu and the others arrived at the Jiangnan Treasure Vault. The exterior building was the Tianhai City Municipal Building, which also served as the base for the Special Investigation Bureau in Qingnan District.
After confirming the information, they took the elevator and pressed the button for the basement level.
To Bai Yu’s surprise, the elevator descended about 20 meters!
The moment they stepped out of the elevator, the scene before them stunned Bai Yu.
Before them stood a massive bronze door, its surface etched with intricate patterns and designs.
The corridors on both sides were lined with lights, illuminating the bronze exterior. The building looked like a giant model placed underground after construction.
He unconsciously looked at the Group Leader, wanting an explanation.
“This is a special ruin structure, its origin is unknown. After exploration, many treasures were unearthed. Later, we thought this ruin structure was sturdy and durable, so we used it as the main body to build this treasure vault.”
“There are some formations and restrictions inside, but as long as you don’t enter unauthorized areas, it’s fine.”
Bai Yu clicked his tongue in amazement: “It feels so grand and high-class!”
“Let’s go, we’re heading to the Third-Level Treasure Vault on the second floor this time.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the treasure vault administrator who was leading them opened the bronze door.
“Rumble~”
It was very imposing.
Upon entering, the first floor offered a clear view of numerous spiritual fruits, spiritual medicines, and other valuable items.
This was only the second-level treasure vault.
They had contributed greatly this time and could use their contribution points to redeem over a dozen items.
However, their main target was still the Third-Level Treasure Vault.
With limited time, they went up the stairs and entered the second floor.
The space here was very spacious, and the number of items was noticeably fewer.
Many square display cases, with items locked in central glass cabinets, looked very high-end at first glance!
The walls were lined with various treasures.
Bai Yu looked around, his heart filled with excitement.
It would be great if he could find the scepter mentioned in the intelligence!
If he couldn’t find it, then he wouldn’t be happy~
At this point, Li Yunbin reminded him: “Many items in the treasure vault have been researched and recorded by the Investigation Bureau. However, the uses of some are still unknown.”
“If you fancy any items, you can tell the administrator and check the research data to see their uses.”
“Understood!”
With that said, Bai Yu excitedly went to check for himself.
After exploring more than half of the Third-Level Treasure Vault area, Bai Yu still hadn’t found it, and he was starting to get anxious.
‘It seems like it should be in the Fourth-Level Treasure Vault.’
‘Damn it, I thought I was getting this intelligence now because I could pick up a bargain in the Third-Level Treasure Vault.’
It wasn’t his fault for thinking that, as his golden finger indeed worked that way, providing information that he could mostly access in the near future.
Just as Bai Yu was about to give up, he suddenly saw a piece of black wood inside a glass cabinet at the base of a wall!
To be honest, this thing was very unremarkable.
He almost missed it.
‘But… I wonder if it’s what I need.’
‘Wait! The research records contain information from the first study. If it matches…’
Thinking this, Bai Yu looked towards Li Yunbin, who wasn’t far away, and said, “Captain, I feel a connection with this treasure. Can I see the Investigation Bureau’s records?”
Li Yunbin was still browsing various good items, unsure which one to acquire.
Upon hearing this, he walked over.
‘This kid can’t be judged by normal standards. I wonder what he’ll find in the treasure vault this time.’
