Chapter 17: Encountering Ex-girlfriend, Might Be Joining the Ranks
football field.
There were quite a few people, about a hundred.
Playing soccer, jogging, dating.
Bai Yu started to jog, secretly hoping that some arrogant guy would want to spar with him.
He was full of energy now and wanted to find an opportunity to show off his strength.
However, after running for two hours, he didn’t encounter any challenges and stopped with some disappointment.
【Mission 3: Running 30/30km, completed, Intelligence Value +10】
“Hoo~”
Soaked in sweat, he found a patch of grass and sat down, glancing at his phone: 20:33.
“It’s so late, and there’s no news from the Investigation Bureau.”
“Sigh.”
“Tomorrow I’ll just lay it all out, say I got a Golden Page?”
Speaking of the Golden Page, he hadn’t forgotten that he had also spent time observing it today.
The result was that he could only see the same image as yesterday, which was a scene of practicing a cultivation technique, just for a slightly longer duration.
But he still couldn’t quickly connect the dozens of acupoints required for the cultivation technique’s circulation.
Currently, circulating Spiritual Energy once could connect three acupoints, which was already quite good.
‘After circulating the Great Heavenly Cycle, my meridians and acupoints have become much smoother.’
‘I should probably practice more to learn this cultivation technique.’
Zhang Youpeng, who saw Bai Yu stop, also walked off the field and sat beside him.
“I saw your ex-girlfriend.”
“Where?”
“Look, over there by the south goal.”
Saying this, Bai Yu looked over, about fifty meters away.
From a distance, he could tell it was a long-haired beauty with a melon-seed face—Li Wan’er.
Sitting next to her was a blonde guy, Wu Hao. He had long hair and a middle part; Bai Yu didn’t quite understand that aesthetic.
“That Wu Hao kid is on the opposing team. Why don’t you play in the second half? His soccer skills are pretty average; with your current physical condition, you could definitely crush him.”
“It feels pointless, like fighting over a woman.”
A quarter of an hour later.
Bai Yu walked onto the field.
I have to say, after becoming an Extraordinary, his abilities had improved significantly.
Even advanced techniques were learned in the blink of an eye.
After a midfield pass, Bai Yu received the ball and started to sprint.
Wu Hao immediately came to block him.
From their brief contact, it was clear that this kid knew Bai Yu was Li Wan’er’s ex-boyfriend, and there was a sense of subtle competition.
Bai Yu saw the gap between Wu Hao’s legs, raised his foot, and lightly kicked the ball, passing straight through.
He sprinted quickly, caught up to the ball, and shot.
The ball went in!
“Damn! Senior is awesome!” The spectators on the sidelines erupted in cheers.
“Senior is so handsome!” some girls screamed.
Ten minutes later, Bai Yu received the ball again in midfield, seemingly deliberately approaching Wu Hao.
Wu Hao clenched his legs tightly.
Bai Yu chuckled, “Hold on tight, don’t let go.”
Then he raised his foot and flicked the ball, which flew past Wu Hao.
He quickly caught up to the ball and shot again!
Two goals depressed Wu Hao, and he chose to leave the field.
Bai Yu expressed his regret, thinking: This guy doesn’t seem like a bad person. Winning doesn’t feel good.
But playing soccer is fun!
On the field, Bai Yu felt like his stamina was inexhaustible. He used to be the one getting dominated, but now he was truly experiencing the feeling of being a soccer superman.
On the other side, Li Wan’er held a towel and wiped the sweat off Wu Hao.
Wu Hao, who was a bit angry, felt her actions and his anger subsided considerably.
It was just that the thought of Bai Yu crushing him made him unhappy, but he couldn’t let go of that resentment.
After playing for over half an hour, Bai Yu’s phone rang, and he decided to leave the field, letting others take his place.
Upon closer inspection, it was an unknown number.
Considering it might be someone from the Seventh Group, he walked out of the football field to a secluded spot.
“Hello, who is this?”
“Hello, I am Investigator Li Yunbin. May I ask if you are student Bai Yu?”
“Yes, I have important intelligence to report.”
“Follower?”
“No.”
Streets of Tianhai City.
Inside a large SUV driving along.
Li Yunbin sat in the passenger seat, with the phone on speaker.
Everyone heard the answer.
Liu Feifei snorted unhappily, “Hmph! Is this kid messing with us?”
Li Yunbin thought for a moment and replied, “The investigators in the group relayed this to me. Is there some misunderstanding?”
“What I actually know is about an Ancient God’s Item, which is also the cause of yesterday’s thunderstorm.”
Hearing this, everyone was shocked.
Such an anomaly was no simple matter!
This kid knew about it?
Li Yunbin immediately pressed, “Are you sure? I need to inform you clearly, this matter is of utmost importance. If you are falsely reporting, it will be ten times more serious than reporting a false alarm.”
“Alright, then I’ll be more specific. That Ancient God’s Item is a Golden Page, and it’s currently in my possession. I triggered it accidentally yesterday, which caused the thunderstorm, and fortunately, I gained a bit of power. Coincidentally, Group Leader Li Yunbin was the first investigator I contacted, so I specifically sought out Group Leader Li.”
Liu Feifei, upon hearing this, excitedly leaned forward and said loudly, “Student, you have excellent judgment! Choosing our Seventh Group is the right decision!”
“Uh, but I clearly heard someone snort unhappily just now.”
Liu Feifei was a bit embarrassed and immediately changed her voice, “It was another girl in the team.”
Qin Wanqing, who was driving, expressed her displeasure.
Li Yunbin quickly moved away from the lively Liu Feifei and said solemnly, “Where are you now? We’ll come to pick you up.”
“Tianhai City University main campus.”
“We’ll be there in ten minutes.”
“Then I’ll wait at the south campus gate.”
The car immediately accelerated.
Football field.
After hanging up the phone, Bai Yu walked back to the football field.
Zhang Youpeng had been watching him. Seeing that the call was finished, he walked over.
But Bai Yu actually sighed, “Sigh.”
“What’s wrong? What happened?”
“Nothing, I might be joining the system.”
“It’s okay, you…”
Mid-sentence, Zhang Youpeng suddenly fell silent.
Upon realizing that “joining the system” meant joining the Investigation Bureau.
He exclaimed, “Damn! You’re joining the system?”
Many people around looked over.
Some people thought, “What’s so great about joining the system? This is clearly giving up on striving! No future.”
Wu Hao and Li Wan’er, who were preparing to leave, also heard this.
Seeing many people looking, Bai Yu went along with it, “The end of life is taking the civil service exam. I’ve reached the end, I’m practically dead.”
Zhang Youpeng couldn’t stand it and wanted to give him a good smack, but he knew he couldn’t win.
“…Damn it, Versailles!”
Bai Yu wasn’t really being Versailles; he sighed, genuinely worried about the unknown life after becoming an investigator.
“That’s all for today. Let’s go back.”
South Campus Gate.
Li Yunbin arrived sooner than expected. Bai Yu had been at the school gate for less than a minute when the car arrived.
Several team members got out.
Li Yunbin sensed Bai Yu slightly and discovered that Bai Yu truly possessed Spiritual Energy!
He had seen Bai Yu yesterday, and at that time, he was still an ordinary person.
Meeting him today, he had actually gained Spiritual Energy!
Only the Power of the Ancient Gods could achieve this.
He could now believe it with nine-tenths certainty.
A girl with red wavy curls enthusiastically greeted, “Hi~ Student Bai Yu! Nice to meet you!”
Saying this, she extended her hand.
Bai Yu also extended his hand, shook hers, and scanned the group.
He had seen the list before, and now, without introductions, he felt he could match names to faces.
This red-haired wavy-curled girl was most likely Liu Feifei.
Li Yunbin looked at Bai Yu with a gentle smile and said, “I didn’t expect such a big change in just one day. Shall we talk in the car?”
“Okay, I’ll say a few words to my classmate.”
After speaking, Bai Yu pulled Zhang Youpeng aside and said, “I don’t know how the investigators will arrange things afterward. For this period, you continue going to the gym as usual, and I’ll cover all the expenses!”
“Okay, I definitely won’t let Yu Ge down!”
“Mm.”
With that, Bai Yu got into the car.
As Bai Yu got into the car, Wu Hao and Li Wan’er, who were walking a bit slower, also arrived at the school gate.
Seeing Li Yunbin and Qin Wanqing beside Bai Yu, Wu Hao frowned.
