Global Abyss: My Skills Can Enhance Infinitely

Familiar room, familiar smell.

Just after landing, Tao Yu heard some clinking and clanking sounds, as if someone was moving around in the house, and unusually, he could hear his father Tao Long's voice outside.

Parents only had five days off each month to return to the present world. It was quite lucky to encounter them, and Tao Yu planned to find them new jobs once he moved to the Inner City.

Listening to the shouts outside, it seemed that the house was undergoing repairs.

The last time he left, he had provided some Yuan Force subsidies for household expenses, aware that Tao Yu had gained favor with a significant figure, earned a considerable sum, and even helped Tao Tong obtain a "Demonization" to restore his legs.

Compared to the cost of combining "Demonization" with vaccines, merely renovating the rickety old house was really nothing.

The condition of the house was indeed too bad before, even with asbestos boards around, which are extremely hazardous when broken.

Currently, the situation appeared to be bustling.

This made Tao Yu reveal a trace of a smile.

He was genuinely afraid that his family would be too reluctant to spend the money he had left for them.

That would truly be pointless.

Actually, one or two thousand Yuan Force didn't make much difference to him now, but for his family, it could greatly improve their life!

Life in the Outsider might be tough, but that's precisely why labor costs were genuinely cheap.

Tao Yu, with his backpack, left his room. There was no one in the living room, but he could see that a brand-new wooden table, somewhat similar to an eight-immortals table, and some new stools had appeared during the two or three months he was away.

Finally, the style was no longer that of a rubbish makeshift ensemble.

The front door was open, and someone was seen carrying something outside, someone slightly familiar, but Tao Yu couldn't quite remember.

The person brightened up upon seeing Tao Yu and then smiled and said,

"Brother Tao, I'm the eldest of the Gu family. I really owe you one for last time."

Upon hearing his words, Tao Yu recalled who it was—the eldest son of his fourth sister-in-law's mother, his fourth brother-in-law's brother.

Others outside seemed to have heard him too, and a commotion followed.

"Is it Little Seven who's back?"

"The genius of the Tao family has returned."

"Amazing, to be able to stay in the Abyss for two or three months just like that, the harvest must be huge this time."

"That's right. I think there must be at least a few thousand Yuan Force gained."

"From your perspective, two or three months in the new Development Zone, it could be more than ten thousand!"

"More than ten thousand!"

"..."

A buzzing sound rose outside, probably from those who came to help with the work.

Tao Long also jumped down from the roof, covered in dust.

"Seven's back, huh."

Outsiders were rather laid-back. Tao Yu had once been gone for two months, and this time, after giving them a heads-up, they were reassured and no longer anxious like before. Still, their faces showed a hint of joy upon reunion.

"Yeah, I've come back to take it easy for a few days, in case of the unexpected. I have to go back in a few days. Are you guys fixing up the house?"

"It's good to take it easy, always prioritize being cautious. Don't overdo it. I heard that in the new Development Zone, quite a few big shots from the Inner City have been out of touch for a long time; something may have happened."

Tao Long was very supportive of Tao Yu's choices and shared any information he could possibly gather.

Although his exposure, channels, and capabilities were limited, he still wanted to be as helpful as possible, which warmed Tao Yu's heart.

"I know that, so now I'm choosing places with fewer people. The area I'm in now is very safe, there aren't even any guns."
Your adventure continues at empire

"That's good, that's good."

Upon hearing this, Tao Long also breathed a sigh of relief. For Outsider Pioneers, the damage from firearms was quite direct. Many seemingly terrifying beasts actually posed far less threat than a gun.

Especially "black guns," which often caused many Outsider experts to have accidents.

Even someone as strong as Tao Yu could now say he wasn't that afraid of a black gun anymore.

Other Inner City residents, even if they chose mechanical augmentation and foreign body implants, and wore appropriate protective gear, only had some resistance and error margin. However, in a critical moment, a couple of hard hits that seized the initiative and rhythm could still possibly turn the tables against them.

Tao Yu himself had done this to others many times.

At that moment, outside, Tao Tong had also returned in his wheelchair.

It was clear that he had already absorbed the "Demonization" Skill, and over such a long period of time, the originally vanished legs had regrown to the level of the knees.

His face was always adorned with a joy that had never been seen before.

"Old Seven."

"Bro, how's it going?"

"Haha, I've never felt this comfortable before, though it's a bit itchy when it grows, and the power of Demonization itself is really strong. I can't believe we Outsiders could get our hands on such a skill."

Tao Tong also possessed Dynamic Vision and had even joined the security team before. His strength was considerable in the Outsider community before he became disabled, giving him a good sense of the strength of various skills.

Now that he had completely digested Demonization, he could also sense the potential of this skill.

"What kind of powers does your Demonization grant, Third Brother? It's different for everyone."

"Based on the information, it should be accelerated running and it also enhanced some reflex speed—it's pretty compatible with my talents. I think it's great. Uncle Hu also came to check on me, saying that I should join the security team once I recover."

Tao Yu went outside and saw some neighbors who had come over to help, and he couldn't help feeling a bit emotional.

When one person achieves enlightenment, even their chickens and dogs ascend to heaven—such is the state of the Outsider community...

I still need to become stronger! Even stronger!

...

After spending some time with his family and having a brief chat about some of the scenery he saw on his way north, Tao Yu left home after eating.

Given the relentless pace of life in the Outsider community, they of course wouldn't bother Tao Yu.

The time of a genius is always precious!

It just so happened that since Tao Long had returned, he mentioned that he would take these few days to fix up his room, and advised Tao Yu not to come back for a few days and instead stay at the dojo or somewhere else.

Tao Yu certainly didn't mind this. After leaving the house with his backpack, he dodged some filth on the road and casually arrived at a deserted spot to start fiddling with the watch on his hand.

Then, he sent a voice message to the rich young lady to check on her current situation.

"Eh? You're back? I'm almost done too; it's a pity you're back a bit early. If you came back two days later, I could have given you some rewards."

A familiar voice came through, clearly indicating that the rich young lady had been in 'closed-door practice' since the last time she returned, but it seemed like she was almost done.

And hearing the word 'reward,' Tao Yu unexpectedly felt a dry tickle in his throat, recalling images that would often come to mind in his dreams.

Even when Tao Yu was posing Cheng Lixue in various ways, he would often fantasize it was the rich young lady.

Unfortunately, he truly couldn't with the rich young lady.

Last time, he really did get a bit of a psychological scar.

Being titillated from afar—one must admit, BE it not for the succubus...

"Cough cough, it's no problem if I return a few days later."

Tao Yu replied earnestly.

"Hehehe, how much did you strengthen your physical body?"

The somewhat teasing laugh that followed made Tao Yu inadvertently think of some embarrassing past.

The second Deification of the Myriad Streams Breathing Technique is a must!

"This time the gains are good; I should be different after digestion. I won't be able to hold down some stuff. Can you guys take over?"

Tao Yu put aside his fantasy, getting straight to the point.

These words made Sun Shiyu pause; after all, Tao Yu was now a mid-level partner!

Just any mid-level partner, by just accumulating enough points to become one, could earn hundreds of thousands in Yuan Force—some people couldn't pass the assessment even with enough points because of their talents and skill discrepancies.

Perhaps the majority of ordinary mid-level partners wouldn't be able to provide hundreds of thousands of Yuan Force in cash flow all at once, preferring to convert it promptly into strength.

But with the status of a mid-level partner, holding down merchandise worth hundreds of thousands was still enough.

If Tao Yu said he couldn't hold it down, it was very likely even more than that!

This might not mean much for Sun Shiyu, but she was well aware of how difficult this would be for an Outsider.

"You do have good luck. I can't leave right now, so how about I have you come over? Eh, never mind, let's talk about the crucial stuff in two days. Shiqing is about to return; I'll have him find you. Don't you take any risks on your own."

Although the encryption of the communication chip was vastly superior to radio, Sun Shiyu still did not say anything too explicit in the conversation, using words like 'reward' as euphemisms.

Naturally, Tao Yu wouldn't start any suggestive conversation either, and pretty soon after, he ended the call.

"Alright, I'll first go to the Inner City to deal with some things I can handle. The rest we can discuss in detail when he arrives."

"If you can't wait, I'll let him use his hands to help you out since we look similar enough..."

At the end of the conversation, Sun Shiyu's unexpectedly lewd remark almost made Tao Yu lose his footing.

Good grief, his own sister, for real—definitely no mistake there...
