Chapter 106: Five Major Alien God Factions, Tape Your Mouth Shut!
In the blink of an eye, it was August 3rd.
Early morning.
As if in response to the funeral to be held today, the sky was a bit gloomy.
Bai Yu and others, including Liu Ruoxi, a total of seven people.
They set off around seven-thirty in the morning.
The funeral location was at City Hall and the surrounding streets in North City.
The traffic was a bit congested when the car drove near here, and quite a few people had gathered.
Bai Yu and the others found an underground parking lot of an official building nearby.
As soon as they got out of the car, they unexpectedly ran into an acquaintance.
“Yu Ge!”
Few people called him that now, and Zhang Youpeng was one of them.
Bai Yu also looked over. Zhang Youpeng was with Wang Long and a group of people, also just arriving at the parking lot.
Wang Long and Zhou Gang were considered contract personnel, and they greeted Li Yunbin and others.
Bai Yu walked towards Zhang Youpeng, squeezed his thick muscles, and said, “You’ve been training quite intensely, your muscles look even more solid than mine.”
“Hehe~ They look okay, but my strength definitely can’t compare to Yu Ge’s.”
The two walked and chatted.
“By the way, recently, besides training at the gym, has anything else happened? For example, at home, or with that kid Wang Haobin, or any big events I don’t know about.”
“There have been so many things!”
“It’s okay, tell me one by one.”
“Actually, last night, I, along with Brother Wang Gang and the others, took down three Lizardmen!”
Speaking of this, one could feel his unusual excitement and a hint of pride.
Bai Yu was surprised and said, “Three Lizardmen? Where did you kill them?”
“In an old residential area in Yun Dong District, the fight was so thrilling!”
“You’re really brave! You’ve only been exposed to this for a short time, and you’re already fighting Alien Races?”
“Yu Ge is so powerful, I can’t fall too far behind.”
“Emm, since you’ve already encountered Alien Races, I’ll give you some life-saving items.”
Saying this, Bai Yu took out five Blood Dissolving Talismans and five Lightning Strike Talismans.
Talismans were quite convenient to use; one only needed to tear them open for the spiritual pattern structure within to function and release energy.
“Here, this is a Lightning Strike Talisman, and the other is a Blood Dissolving Talisman, used to deal with the Vampire Clan. Take them first.”
“This…”
“What is this? These things are nothing to me now. In a short while, I probably won’t even need them.”
“Thank you, Yu Ge! I will definitely repay you in the future.”
“Mm.”
Bai Yu still remembered that it was only a little over half a month ago that he was working with Zhang Youpeng at a Media Company.
Who would have thought that things would change so much!
When he first learned about the Extraordinary world, Bai Yu chatted with Zhang Youpeng and said he could help him step into the Extraordinary.
However, given the current situation, he could indeed obtain Advancement Items for Ancient Gods.
But the current priority would likely be for team members who already had strength, like Li Yunbin.
Now, he was just giving Zhang Youpeng some talismans and the like, letting him develop on his own, as a small compensation. However, it wasn’t a debt; it was just casually planting a seed.
These things were indeed insignificant to him. But to Zhang Youpeng, they were absolutely life-saving items! Each one cost several thousand Federal Currency.
“By the way, didn’t you say you had a special bloodline? Have you tested it?”
“I haven’t tested it. It just increases my strength a bit. Brother Wang Gang said I need to train more and fight monsters more, and maybe it will be triggered.”
“Then you need to work hard!”
Bai Yu was also curious if Zhang Youpeng would have a Self-awakening.
The Self-awakened ones he knew of so far were important figures like Director Yang and Big Boss Kong Shen.
However, he didn’t dwell on this direction and instead asked, “Speaking of which, Wang Haobin started his one-month challenge, how is it going now?”
“He’s currently in the first stage. He completes the daily challenges with this difficulty. However, there are some things to mention.”
“What things?”
“Well, Wang Haobin seems to have discovered some anomalies. And Yu Ge, didn’t you go to Cloud Lake the morning before yesterday and tame a giant Catfish Spirit?”
“That incident even made the news, with a picture of you, Yu Ge, accompanying the report. Although it was taken from a distance, Wang Haobin recognized you.”
“Two people in class also noticed and asked about it.”
Bai Yu was a little surprised to hear this, but it sounded reasonable!
He himself had seen the news about him dealing with the catfish, so it was natural for acquaintances to be curious if they saw it.
Moreover, Wang Haobin was still curious about why he was so rich.
It was normal for him to attract attention!
It’s just that the article called him a zookeeper, a special-grade beast tamer, and a deep-sea enthusiast.
I have thalassophobia, and they call me a deep-sea enthusiast?
Special-grade beast tamer, I accept that! Aren’t professors ‘beasts’ too?
“By the way, Wang Haobin also tentatively told me about some recent strange occurrences yesterday. For example, one night while he was taking a walk, he heard the sound of rats in the sewer. He peeked through a crack and saw that these rats seemed to be gathering and heading towards a specific location. He also mentioned some strange rumors from his childhood.”
Hearing this, Bai Yu frowned. Rats, Dark Creatures!
“Where did he see them?”
“He didn’t say, but it should be near the school. Are these rats also Transcendent Beings?”
“They should be Dark Creatures.”
“Then what should we do? These monsters are quite blatant. What if they rush out and kill people?”
“They are currently fighting the Lizardman Race. How to deal with Dark Creatures will depend on the higher-ups’ considerations. I have other major cases on my hands.”
As they chatted, Bai Yu’s mind also recalled Lilith Lina, the Mistress of Shadows, one of the seven Alien Gods from the city-destroying war of Tianhai Base City.
Speaking of which, five of the seven Alien Gods’ forces have appeared so far.
The Ancestor of Blood – Dracula It
The God of Fishmen – Rastel Bord
The Lava Dragon Lord – Bill Mondes
The Lord of the Ridge – Grandal Mountain Speaker
And the current Mistress of Shadows.
‘This so-called Lava Dragon Lord should be the boss of the Lizardmen.’
He realized this from the fire-breathing Lizardman leader during their last fierce battle.
He called himself a little dragon person, and indeed, he had some dragon-like qualities.
Afterward, Bai Yu chatted with Zhang Youpeng about other matters and found that this kid Zhang Youpeng was exposed to quite a lot of things every day.
Feedback from the Cloud Lake Catfish Spirit, anomalies among some people at school, various stories.
It was also a different perspective.
It was good to understand more.
Before long, as they approached City Hall, they found that the whole world had become much quieter.
Although many people had gathered here, including various Big Bosses from the previous auction, there were two to three thousand people.
However, everyone spoke in low voices when they conversed, giving a sense of whispering.
This was different from the hustle and bustle on the streets before they arrived.
When Bai Yu arrived at the scene, he scanned the surroundings, trying to find Professor Wang Wen and others.
He was still in a hurry to hand over the Magic Scrolls that countered Blood Demons and the Clear Blood Powder that countered Black Blood Disease.
Especially the Clear Blood Powder, if this wasn’t handled quickly, he recalled the patients suffering excruciating pain, and he truly felt a bit guilty.
The key point was that the Black Demon Ancestor was an old adversary of Zhang Jiao, who was his main source of power.
Using Clear Blood Powder to suppress the opponent and force them to reveal a weakness would definitely be a good thing for him!
And the greatest benefit he could gain from this incident was likely the Evil Energy behind the Black Blood!
The merit earned from Clear Blood Powder was secondary to him.
Dealing with the Black Demon Ancestor quickly was the top priority, and also for self-preservation.
After searching for a while, Bai Yu couldn’t find anyone, so he went to the Captain and asked, “Captain, do you know where Professor Wang Wen is?”
“Professor Wang Wen? They should be with Professor Kong Shen’s students and Old Kong’s family right now. I don’t know the exact location, though. Is there something you need from Professor Wang Wen?”
“Yes, a small matter.”
“They might be in a special occasion now, so it’s inconvenient to call. How about waiting until nine o’clock? When we enter the main hall of City Hall, you should be able to see them.”
At this moment, Liu Ruoxi, standing nearby, weakly raised her hand and said, “I know where they are.”
“You know?”
“Yes. My grandfather is friends with Old Kong, and I also know Old Kong’s granddaughter. We’re like old friends for three generations.”
Bai Yu fell silent.
Alright! The powerful and influential people really do hang out in the same circles.
Should I leave then?
“Where are they now? Is it convenient to go over?”
“They are on the third floor of City Hall. It should be possible to go there.”
“Then let’s wait. I’m not in a particular hurry.”
“I’ll take you there. I also want to see Grandma Yu.”
Since Liu Ruoxi offered a way out, Bai Yu naturally took it: “Okay.”
Saying this, the two walked towards City Hall.
Liu Ruoxi was originally the guide, but she walked alongside Bai Yu, slightly behind him.
The atmosphere was a bit strange.
The people behind them naturally started chatting when they saw this scene.
Qin Wanqing saw this scene, with a sweet smile on her face, she couldn’t help but hold Li Yunbin’s arm and then said, “If they walk together, they’ll look very compatible, right?”
Li Yunbin shook his head and said, “I’m afraid it will be difficult.”
Qin Wanqing’s expression was slightly taken aback, “Why? Bai Yu used to like Ruoxi. Ruoxi hasn’t interacted with many boys, and at this age, she should be developing feelings for someone.”
“It’s mainly about Bai Yu. Tianhai City might not be able to contain him. If the gap in strength is too large…”
“Hmph!”
Qin Wanqing, who was usually gentle, was slightly annoyed and lightly punched Li Yunbin with her small fist.
“What Captain said is not wrong. Bai Yu’s current performance is indeed not something an ordinary person can capture. Think about it, if the Alien Gods invade in the future, Bai Yu will be running around everywhere, how could you see each other, and you’d both be worried.”
Qin Wanqing was not an unreasonable person, and after thinking about it, she understood that it was indeed the case.
Liu Ruoxi’s biggest problem was her inability to cultivate.
Even if she cultivated, she would need extremely high talent to match Bai Yu.
The world had changed.
On the other side, as soon as they reached the statue in front of City Hall, Bai Yu received a message on his phone.
Bai Yu glanced at it; it was from Zhang Youpeng.
“Yu Ge is awesome! I’ve had a good feeling about Yu Ge since I was little! Two years ago, I had a premonition that Goddess Liu Ruoxi would definitely become my sister-in-law! Should I change my address next time we meet?”
Bai Yu: Meow meow meow!
This brat always liked to find gossip topics about himself.
“You’ve got a good aura after working out, why don’t you find someone?”
“I can find someone anytime. If Yu Ge introduces them, I’ll take them!”
“Get lost! You’re really trying to take advantage. How can the quality beauties around me be ruined by you?”
“Hehe~ Yu Ge, keep it up! Go for it directly!”
“I’m blocking you.”
“Sob sob sob~ I was wrong.”
Bai Yu was speechless and looked back at Zhang Youpeng, the muscular man.
It was indeed him sending the message from his phone!
Otherwise, he would have thought someone had hacked his account.
After reading the message, Bai Yu glanced at Liu Ruoxi, who was walking slightly ahead of him.
They hadn’t spoken at all on the way.
In fact, this was the most subtle part.
Normally, being friends, chatting slowly, people might develop feelings for each other and fall in love without realizing it; this was normal romance.
But because he had pursued her before and it ended in failure, Bai Yu now didn’t want to appear too close. Otherwise, everyone would think they were dating.
In the future, if Bai Yu reached the pinnacle of strength and met his destined one, and they ended up together.
Then in others’ eyes, wouldn’t I be cheating?
‘Alas, I am ultimately too virtuous and need to lower my standards!’
“‘Having one on each arm, isn’t that more appealing?'”
He twisted his neck, and Bai Yu had a different mindset.
Although the original owner had a one-sided crush for half a year, and it had nothing to do with him, and it was a memory from two years ago, long since blurred.
But the more blurred it became, the more perfect it was idealized!
He had inherited all these memories.
Recalling his Previous Life, there was indeed a white moonlight he couldn’t obtain.
The white moonlight itself might not be beautiful; that beauty always came from imagination.
“‘It has indeed stirred up a trace of buried memories. Let’s see.'”
“‘Perhaps this emotion will remain buried.'”
Third floor of City Hall.
Many people were gathered here; some were busy, but most were standing around.
After all, the event hadn’t started yet, so they couldn’t leave now, right?
Bai Yu quickly located Professor Wang Wen and Professor Feng. These two old fellows seemed to be sitting on chairs at the edge with a few friends, chatting.
Professor Wang Wen also noticed Bai Yu, with obvious surprise in his eyes.
However, upon seeing Liu Ruoxi beside Bai Yu, he showed a father-in-law-like smile.
Bai Yu understood this smile.
‘.’
Seeing that Professor Wang Wen didn’t seem busy, Bai Yu walked over.
Liu Ruoxi didn’t go to see Grandma Yu or anything, and followed behind.
Bai Yu was curious; they hadn’t interacted much recently, so why did she seem to have some interest in him?
It was probably Liu Feifei and Sister Wanqing egging her on.
This matter would have to be observed slowly.
Professor Wang Wen saw Bai Yu approaching and jokingly scolded, “Why did you come over, you brat?”
It was evident that he was very excited to see Bai Yu.
Bai Yu said directly, “Aren’t I here to give you some ready-made merit, Professor Wang?”
“Tsk! When did you become so good to me, you brat?”
Although he said that, Professor Wang Wen guessed that this brat Bai Yu might have come up with something good again!
If the occasion were suitable, he would have dragged Bai Yu into a long talk all night.
Unable to suppress his curiosity, Professor Wang Wen still asked indirectly, “What merit?”
“We need some reagents and such for a few major cases.”
Hearing this, Professor Wang Wen’s smile stiffened.
“I knew it! You brat coming to me must mean no good!”
He thought to himself, this isn’t doing research. This is clearly asking me to help him solve cases!
Seeing this, Bai Yu smiled and said nothing.
He thought to himself: Damn it! Wait until you know what it is, and then see if you’re shocked or not!
But Professor Wang Wen looked at Liu Ruoxi, “My good niece is better. Come, sit down and chat.”
Bai Yu said ruthlessly, “He’s here to see Grandma Yu, not you old geezer.”
Wang Wen instantly glared at Bai Yu and said, “You brat, go find some black tape and stick your mouth shut.”
