Global Abyss: My Skills Can Enhance Infinitely

Under a sky shrouded in grey mist, the Floating City, full of a colossal mechanical feel, lay atop the Inner City like a steely beast, bringing with it a deeply oppressive sensation.

At the base of the Floating City, there was a unique window that appeared to be an observation deck. A handsome figure with no expression on his face slowly opened his eyes, his gaze sparkling with the luster of colored glaze as he looked down upon the Inner City below.

Boom~

A silver lightning bolt meandered through the grey mist, as if striking the Floating City. The electricity spread like a snake over the base, a sight of eerie beauty.

"Another World Breaker in the Inner City, I wonder who it is this time. I hope they don't cause me any trouble."

Thinking of how Gu Qiu had stirred up storms in recent days, the handsome Inspector seemed somewhat helpless.

Purely on a personal level, he actually admired characters like Gu Qiu, but unfortunately, excessive pride can hurt benevolence, and being too compliant can injure righteousness. Not getting the balance right is unacceptable, leading to self-exclusion from others...

The emergence of a new World Breaker wasn't a big deal. A brief observation to ensure there were no signs of madness or destruction, and he closed his eyes once more.

Such a tedious job, when will my shift end...

...

"Hmm? It feels slightly different."

Tao Yu felt a viscosity in the air around his arm, similar to being underwater. He engaged Unity of Heaven and Man, reintegrating himself back into the world.

"If I were to use higher power levels in the present world, I might now encounter some noticeable resistance. But fortunately, it's nothing significant..."

It probably just meant that certain techniques, like the minor trinity, or Thunder Method moves from Return to Ruins, would have their range slightly reduced. And there wouldn't be any severe penalty from the heavens when executing such moves.

"Ah, but there might be intervention from an Inspector."

Tao Yu remembered the giant dragon being suppressed by a beam from the Floating City, likely due to the excess power used being detected, then casually restrained to prevent further damage.

But in the present world, occasions that called for such force were rare anyway, so it didn't bother him much.

Soon after, Tao Yu also heard Uncle Hu's voice from the hall.

His last visit home was rushed, and it had been some time since he saw his family, so he pushed the door open and walked out.

Tao Long was seated on the sofa chatting with Tao Hu, with some small fruits laid out on the coffee table in front of them.

Having settled in the Inner City for some time and their family income having risen, they were starting to spend money on little luxuries.

"Seventh brother is back, huh? Hey, where's your flying machine?"

Tao Long's face brightened at first, but then he looked puzzled.

A flying machine worth tens of thousands of Yuan Force—why wasn't it on his back? Wasn't it charged last time he was home?

"I left it over there for now, no worries, I'm on good terms with the locals."

Tao Yu reassured them, his flying machine still on the outskirts of Luoyang, not bothered to make a trip just for it. He had arranged for the Yin Gui Faction to send messages via carrier pigeons to locate it and have it delivered later.

He had been informed it was found, but it would take some time to reach him.

"Oh, but still be careful. Sometimes, it's hard to know what lies beneath a smiling face."

"Geez, brother Long, you're worrying too much. Don't apply our experiences to Ao."

Tao Hu chuckled on the side.

Although his experiences weren't too profound, he at least had the vision of an average denizen of the Inner City.

And the rumors about 'Inner Strength' were already rampant.

Some had even seen the graceful scenes of people from the Development Zone using light-body techniques.

Though as of now, no dojos had been established in either the Inner or Outer City, only the Development Zone offered training. Yet, the comprehensiveness and superiority of this new system were already evident.

Many who believed they had the capability were gearing up eagerly, and there were also quite a few individuals in the Development Zone who had either free or loaned slots considering dedicating this opportunity to mastering Inner Strength!

In terms of destructive power, it is inferior to Gang Qi, but in all other aspects, it is on par.

Moreover, it doesn't conflict with Gang Qi, and many people are quite eager about it.

Those few elite who have begun with Inner Strength and have started to use Yuan Force for acceleration, often receive visits from people wanting to learn about the situation.

And at this time, Tao Hu no longer needed to keep his Inner Strength training a secret.

All he needed to do was keep the Muscle Changing and Bone Forging Scripture, which is not taught to outsiders, under wraps.

It was precisely for this reason that he vaguely guessed the authority and actions that allowed Tao Yu to teach Inner Strength in advance and knew that his great-nephew had truly risen high in status!

Actually, Tao Hu often had free time to stop by, and other relatives and friends of the Tao family would also take the opportunity to get back in touch.

It's just that Tao Yu himself was always confined in the Abyss, and when he was in the real world, he was always on the go, so he seldom ran into these matters.

And these relatives and friends, having a sense of propriety, would not truly impose on Tao Yu's time.

They would just keep in touch with Tao Long and the others to maintain familial bonds.

For Tao Yu, he didn't really mind all these. Often, just one word from him could save them a lot of trouble, and sometimes, a mere visit could invisibly solve many of their difficulties.

He didn't really consider this a big deal, as it cost him nothing.

Even following the usual development pattern of the outer city's strong, it was quite possible that over time, all the Tao relatives would band together to form a real family clan.

It's just that Tao Yu didn't really care about these things. If his parents wanted to organize it, then they would; if not, then let it be.

For now, among the Tao relatives, they were only ever on the receiving end of bullying and not the type that rips off compatriots in the countryside.

However, people change, and whether or not this might happen in the future was truly unpredictable.

But as far as values are concerned, at least his father and Uncle Hu were relatively upright in this era, so he didn't need to worry too much...

"Today is actually the day we planned to invite your Uncle Hu and his family over for dinner. Your mom has already gone out to buy groceries. Will you have time tonight? It's been arranged for a while."

Tao Long inquired of Tao Yu. He wouldn't specifically ask Tao Yu to get involved in these matters; usually, they would handle all family-related things themselves.

However, Uncle Hu was a closer connection, and it just so happened to coincide with this occasion, which was quite timely.

"Oh, don't mention it. I'll first go check out the situation at the task hall. I'll book a meal at the Pavilion of Eats and invite Auntie, Uncle Feng, and Sister Ling too. I have a ten percent discount there."

Tao Yu immediately issued the invitation and changed the location to the Pavilion of Eats.

Uncle Hu had helped him out a lot, and he was not someone who would forget his roots.

After the poisoning incident, the Pavilion of Eats compensated him with a lifetime ten-percent-off card. Now that his Unity of Heaven and Man and Spirit Perception had once again strengthened, and the Thieves Guild was also kept at bay, it was foolish not to use this advantage.

The taste there was quite good as well.

Tao Hu initially wanted to refuse, as eating at home was no big deal, but it sounded like a very classy place and would be too much of an expense.

However, upon hearing that Tao Yu had a ten-percent discount, he directly accepted the offer.

"Haha, then I get to broaden my horizons with you. I've eaten at the Gourmet Fort a few times, but I haven't tried any Inner City restaurants. Ten percent off, huh? You really have clout. I'm off today, so let's have a good drink."

Tao Yu didn't bother explaining. The clout he had this time really wasn't anything desirable.

After bidding farewell, Tao Yu promptly left the house.

He first tried to contact the rich girl via his smartwatch, found she was out, then donned his partner's cloak and took the elevator downstairs.

The rich girl had already arranged her share of the dividends. Compared to Dada, who was just starting to set up outposts in the real world, the rich girl had many more people at her disposal.

Even if the rich girl wasn't there, he could directly go to the Scripture Depository's real-world outpost to claim his dividends with his status.

But first, he would stop by the task hall to have a look at the latest situations and see if there was any insider news about Deadly Bullet.

He might also peek into the 'Redemption' group chat, since he had paid the membership fee after all...
