Global Abyss: My Skills Can Enhance Infinitely

"The cargo and material missions have already come out, and there are new exploration missions..."

After completing the handover of his previous task, Tao Yu also casually checked if there were any new tasks that could be done conveniently, while observing the current trend of missions in the new Development Zone.

Even a mosquito is still flesh; it could add points for the partners. Once you have enough points and with adequate strength, you can participate in promotion assessments, granting access to some new privileges and conveniences.

Just having a personal receptionist and not having to jostle with others for tasks already saved a lot of time and energy.

Tao Yu even came across a mission for biological alien implantation from Pandora World.

"Pandora's atmosphere is toxic to humans; is this about achieving a new alien implantation, aiming to let some Inner City people with alien implantation lines go and pioneer there?"

However, while Tao Yu was observing, suddenly a burly figure with a nose ring pushed through the nearby crowd and walked toward him.

Having undergone the Crane Deification, Tao Yu already had enhanced Spirit Perception, and with the bonuses of the Warlord's Sidearm and the latest Meditation Technique, he instantly knew that the newcomer's intention was directed at him.

Although there wasn't much malice, there was certainly some.

This made Tao Yu raise an eyebrow and glance back at the other person, noting the wolf head tattoo deliberately exposed on the chest.

The Wild Wolf Gang?

These gang members really have no manners.

"What do you want?"

The figure had only just arrived and before he could speak, Tao Yu calmly initiated the conversation.

"Tao Yu, right? Come with me, a VIP wants to see you."

The burly figure grinned, revealing a mouth with two missing yellow teeth, accompanied by the bad breath often found among Outsiders.

"A VIP? Who?"

Tao Yu frowned and took a step back, repulsed by the bad breath.

However, to the sturdy man, this seemed like a retreat. Smirking with a touch of triumph, he said,

"You're not in a position to ask. Just come with me, that's right. I know you're Grade A in Dynamic Vision, with a lot of potential. I don't want to get rough."

While saying that, he rubbed his knuckles, making some cracking sounds.

This confrontation attracted the attention of many in the Task Hall.

Seeing the muscular man, many faces showed wariness; he seemed to have some reputation around here.

"Iron Fist, what are you doing? If you want to cause trouble, take it outside. This isn't a place for your gang to sow wild oats," a figure in combat attire, responsible for maintaining order in the Task Hall, stepped forward. Regardless, this place was the Hunter's Stronghold and the Task Hall, where certain things would definitely be managed.

"Haha, what trouble? I'm just chatting with a friend, I just have a loud voice; you all know me," Iron Fist laughed off the accusation before smirking at Tao Yu,

"I'm right, aren't I, young brother Tao Yu?"

But Tao Yu turned to look at the approaching guard, with an innocent expression, and asked,

"He just threatened me; can I kill him?"

The offhanded comment left Iron Fist and the guard both stiff-faced, and the pioneers in the Task Hall who were competing for tasks looked on with bizarre expressions.

Some even couldn't help but laugh out loud, not at Tao Yu, but at Iron Fist, who had thought he controlled the situation.

Those who came here for tasks weren't the kind to sit tight and play nice.

What they thought was another routine of the Wild Wolf Gang bullying people turned out to be a tough nut to crack.

"Uh, we don't allow murder here, but if you're proactively threatened or provoked, an appropriate counter-attack won't be prosecuted," the guard reluctantly replied, sticking to the rules after being blindsided by Tao Yu.

The rules in the Outer City were slack, free of rigid formalities.

Therefore, Tao Yu nodded, looked back at the muscular Iron Fist, and spoke softly,

"You did just threaten me, didn't you?"

"So what if I did? You damn kid, refusing a toast only to drink a forfeit..."

Before the words of anger could finish, Tao Yu's elbow had already struck his abdomen, the force of the impact almost popping Iron Fist's eyes out.

Then, with a palm strike, he hit the man's chin, accompanied by the sickening sound of bone cracking and his face flesh twitching with distortion.

Iron Fist's feet lifted off the ground.

But as he was just rising, Tao Yu turned and delivered a side kick with a leg raised high, like a battle-axe pressing down on his shoulder, forcibly halting the ascent and nailing him back to the ground.

The rush of wind from the move made clothing flutter noisily.

The hardened clay on the ground showed slight cracks.

Tao Yu pulled his foot back slowly after pinning the man to the ground.

Then he patted the dust off his trousers and turned back to the guard politely saying,

"I just taught him a simple lesson, he's not dead."

Having said that, he looked at the guard, whose eyes had rolled back as he fainted, with a smile,

"If you're going to ask for someone, please be polite about it."

Afterward, he waved his hand and directly left the mission hall.

The kind are bullied, showing too much kindness in such a dog-eat-dog place would only lead to endless trouble.

Only with certain talent, strength, and a tougher approach could one stand firm and avoid problems.

Wait for someone else to make a move before retaliating? Why can't I strike first?

The Outer City is a very pragmatic place...

Uh, but actually, although Tao Yu's actions were swift and clean, thanks to the thinking advantage brought by the Meditation Technique, he had weighed his actions quickly.

At least the so-called noble mouthed by the lackey couldn't possibly be someone from the Floating City. If they truly were, they wouldn't be associating with gangs, it would be more normal for an upright and dignified security team leader to confront me directly.

At most, they were just 'nobles' from the Inner City, who were not that noble at all!

Once Tao Yu left, Iron Arms, who was rolling his eyes on the ground, slowly fell backward and then crashed heavily onto the ground.

Whispers began to spread among the crowd nearby,

"He's very strong."

"When did our fortress acquire such a mighty person?"

"Were those moves just now from Myriad Streams Five Forms? The Tiger Form and the Ape Form?"

"He looks so young, could he be from the new Development Zone?"

"Can't be, right? Even the earliest batch is just two months old…"

"Hey, isn't the Wild Wolf Gang influential? They even wanted to dip their hands into the fortress's business, serves them right."

"Keep your voice down, their people have arrived…"

"…"

Soon after, two men with ashen faces hastily came over to where Iron Arms lay, checked his neck first, then quickly assessed his injuries.

The more they checked, the darker their expressions became. Shortly afterward, someone brought a rudimentary stretcher and hurriedly dragged Iron Arms away...

...

Tao Yu did not wait on the spot for the 'noble'; instead, he headed for the Myriad Streams dojo.

By this time, Sun Shiqing probably hadn't returned yet, but the Myriad Streams dojo offered economically affordable 'Qi-tonic Soup,' which made recovery simple during training.

Moreover, it was an opportunity to test out this so-called 'noble.'

If they couldn't even circumvent the dojo, then most likely, they weren't even a 'noble' from the Inner City...

"Everyone knows I'm a Grade A talent and still they act so arrogantly. It couldn't just be that 'noble' is the Gang Leader of the Wild Wolf Gang, right?"

While Tao Yu pondered, he arrived at the familiar entrance of the dojo.

Having trained here for the better part of a month, he was quite familiar with the place and could clearly hear the increased intensity of training noises inside.

The registration area had also gathered a larger crowd; the 'benefits' of the new Development Zone seemed to be continuously arranged.

Although Tao Yu didn't know the specifics of how many people had entered the new Development Zone in these two months, or the proportions, there should be at least a thousand or so, possibly two or three thousand at most.

"Yi Wei, it's your shift again, brother,"

Tao Yu saw Yi Wei with a glum face at the registration area and greeted him with a smile. Yi Wei was the one he had met when first signing up and they had some interactions during training, forming a nodding acquaintance.

"Tao, junior brother, you're back? That was quick, wasn't it? Hasn't been a month, right?"

Yi Wei also seemed surprised to see Tao Yu.

He had a deep impression of this newly admitted genius; at first, there was almost a little unpleasantness, and until now among all the students he had dealt with, junior brother Tao was the fastest learner.

He had even reached level 3 in Crane Form and had learned the Swallowing Fluid Technique.

This junior brother could be said to be an inspirational figure in the dojo during this period...
