Global Abyss: My Skills Can Enhance Infinitely

Chapter 429: Chapter 383: Taking Precautions Before the Rain

Hundreds of soldiers from the Harkonnen Family were taken prisoner and directly escorted back to the RDA base by Tao Yu’s men.

After being disarmed, Masu was the only one who wasn’t an ordinary person, but the others were easily guarded.

And Masu had a Sealing Skill personally applied on him by Tao Yu.

However, when Tao Yu was escorting these prisoners back, he saw the rich young lady’s hovercraft descending from the sky.

Beside the hovercraft was Little Black, who was trembling, suspended in the air by telekinesis.

Now, with the deepening of the Sword Canon of Mercy and having attained her own integration of power, the rich young lady exuded an additional sense of sanctity.

This, when combined with her original succubus-like beauty that could bring calamity to nations, made her a sight to behold.

As she descended from the sky, people at the RDA base dared not look at her directly, even Dr. Grace, a woman herself, felt this way.

A gentleman would not stand under a collapsing wall, and in theory, as a wealthy heiress, it was inconvenient for her to appear in places where orbital weapons might strike, especially since the world’s force here was repressive, but she still came.

When she landed with Little Black, the little creature quickly ran to Tao Yu’s side and started complaining loudly, receiving a big smooch from him.

Don’t you have any common sense? Didn’t she come to see you last time? You’re such an idiot.

“These are soldiers from the Harkonnen Family, aren’t they? These weapons are pretty weak.”

The rich young lady effortlessly grabbed a transported gun into her delicate palm and examined its performance; it was a Yuan Force item, but its power was mediocre.

“In certain specific environments, it performs slightly better than traditional firearms, and you can use it underwater. That’s about it.”

The rich young lady tossed it aside, finding little value in it.

“Haven’t you faced off against them yet?”

Tao Yu asked, curious.

“No, the Sand Hidden Village Ninja encountered them while gathering intelligence. Since we’ve been here, we’ve had more conflicts with the blue-skinned Na’vi. After all, you can probably feel it—the will of this world fragment is strong, suppressing many abilities.”

Well, the Na’vi deserved to have the home ground advantage, making enemies on multiple fronts.

Moreover, due to the great changes in the world, the Na’vi have learned to use weapons produced by their allies. Combined with their natural talents and size, their combat power is not weak.

They are the favored children of this world, and while Eva rarely intervenes directly, she must feel a sense of crisis after being dragged into the Abyss.

“This is where their true value lies. I’ve already asked them; there are about two thousand left in their home territory. If the attack threshold is exceeded, they will break, so be careful.”

Tao Yu tossed over a Holzman Shield, not intending to keep it secret from the rich young lady—after all, she was key to liquidating it.

“This does have some value, but its effectiveness outside is limited to mid-level partners. There aren’t many, and is there a production line?”

“There really isn’t.”

Tao Yu didn’t expect the rich young lady to be even greedier than him, coveting production lines, but then again, with only a few thousand pieces, while useful, they wouldn’t surprise someone of her stature.

She would place more importance on a steady stream of wealth like the Unobtainium mine.

“But they do have this, and there are still two mining areas left.”

Tao Yu tossed another Fragrance Pouch to her, a piece of loot he had found on Masu, which he used to enhance his spirit.

Spice should be consumed in regulated doses at set times, and should not be overused; the daily intake limit is fifty grams.

[Spice]: A crystallized secretion of young sandworms in the desert. Consumption can slightly enhance spirit, lifespan, and control over oneself. Long-term use may activate the Skill [Spirit Word], and in the world where Spice is produced, there’s a chance to gain [Temporary Prophecy]. It can absorb 109 Yuan Force.

This was the value of a small bag of Spice, actually quite similar to the Blood Orchid, but with an added chance of skill activation and a higher yield!

But Tao Yu didn’t take this chance seriously; it was all just pie in the sky.

According to Raban’s data, so many people had taken Spice, yet only those with deformed heads, the navigators, had activated the skill.

Tao Yu had also tried some for himself, but the slight increase it offered to psychic power was additive, not proportional.

There was no comparison between this and his first experience with the Blood Orchid.

The slight benefit was that after some time of Spice consumption, mental activity increased, providing a small additional bonus to the cultivation of mental-related Skills.

You can’t get fat with just one gulp, but you can carry some with you for long-term use to increase efficiency.

Just take it up to the limit every day.

The greatest value, meanwhile, for the Development Zone was probably [lifespan]!

Even if it wasn’t a huge increase, if common people took it long-term, they could gain a century.

For someone like the old lizard running out of life, they would certainly be willing to pay a high price for an extension.

In terms of value, a small bag could probably sell for two to three thousand Yuan Force.

“Good stuff…”

Sun Shiyu’s eyes brightened slightly with admiration, but then she fell silent for a moment, probably considering the same issue as Tao Yu.

“Just keep them imprisoned for now. I’ve already arranged for someone to come and take over. For this mission, consider it a reward of a million Yuan Force plus a ten percent mining royalty. Come here for a moment, I have something to ask you…”

Hearing about the royalty, Tao Yu felt elated. There was no need for him to even ask—the young heiress had arranged everything so perfectly.

Considering the one million Yuan Force, which was quite standard, but a ten percent royalty from mining—even if not yet exploited, it was at least worth tens of millions!

And the value would continuously rise until the mining here was depleted or the material became saturated.

He didn’t even need to work, just relax and count the money.

Once they reached the outskirts of the base, the young heiress took out a Shielding Bead to seal the area before rubbing her temples and giving Tao Yu a stern look.

“`

“You’re always finding ways to bother me.”

“Hehe, it’s not just about causing trouble~”

Tao Yu pressed himself against her and reached into her collar.

The holy visage she had when she descended from the heavens, in line with the Sword Canon of Mercy, had already made Tao Yu’s heart itch, and now he couldn’t get enough of it.

“What did Pavas do to you again, that you want to kill him? He’s a bit more troublesome than Han Ya.”

Sun Shiyu cast a coquettish glance at Tao Yu, allowing his hand to wreak havoc.

“Look, this thing.”

Tao Yu directly took out a personal teleportation device. With this, he didn’t need to say much more, as Sun Shiyu immediately understood.

“Tch~, they indeed have the motivation, it’s not too surprising…”

However, despite her saying this, a trace of gravity briefly appeared on her pretty face.

“Give me this teleportation device, I’m buying it from you.”

“Where, I’m giving it to you, it’s no use to me anyway.”

Tao Yu’s words made the wealthy lady roll her eyes at him.

“It’s not like it’s your money. Just take it and go.”

Snap~

Three million slapped onto Tao Yu.

“Keep some for yourself, don’t spend it rashly. Save some for emergencies. Things might indeed be heading in a bad direction. Now that there are more interests involved over here, it could get even more troublesome.”

The wealthy lady reminded Tao Yu.

“Is there any problem with Pavas’ death?”

“What problem could there be? Who can object to my kills? What I’m worried about is something else, it’s Pavas’ family who should be scared.”

After saying that, she slapped Tao Yu’s mischievous hand away and hugged his head, giving him a peck, and said with full confidence,

“Don’t worry, I’ve got everything under control.”

Looking at Sun Shiyu’s smile blooming like a flower on her face, Tao Yu felt an indescribable sentiment in his heart.

“Mhm, I get it. I won’t be going back for a while.”

“That’s fine. Indeed, we need to be wary of a desperate dog jumping over the wall. You don’t have to worry about your family, I will arrange everything. But be mindful of the pollution situation and don’t overexert yourself. You should have gotten Pavas’ communicator. Give it to me to set up, and notify me in advance when you’re coming back, and I’ll be at your house waiting.”

Sun Shiyu extended her fair palm towards Tao Yu, and he gave her the communicator without hesitation.

“Using this thing near the base is very cheap, a few hundred Yuan Force per message, but once you leave the base’s range, the price will jump sharply. Inside the Development Zone’s coverage area, it’s five thousand Yuan Force per message, and outside the coverage area, it gradually increases with distance, although Rainforest 02 has also been included in the coverage area recently.”

After taking the item from Sun Shiyu, Tao Yu was stunned by the steep price—just for sending messages!

If he had gotten this earlier, he wouldn’t have been able to afford it!

“But there is a silver lining. The communication goes through the will of the world, so as long as there are no issues nearby, you don’t have to worry about eavesdropping. However, depending on the quality of the communicator, there will be a limit on communication, and you can get a general sense of it.”

Tao Yu took back the communicator and sensed that within the coverage area, you could have roughly ten voice contacts a month, and this would decrease incrementally outside of the coverage area. Except for a few sealed areas, you can ensure at least one contact per month.

“I understand, I’ll check in every two months to report safety.”

“Once a month, and I’ll cover the expenses.”

After finishing her sentence, Sun Shiyu seemed to ponder something else,

“The authorization for the teleportation has been approved. We need to go to the State Capital to collect it. Since we don’t want to pass through the grey mist with the device, we’ll bring the teleportation handlers directly to pick up the parts. If you’re going back soon, I can take you with me to the State Capital.”

Upon hearing Sun Shiyu’s words, Tao Yu paused for a moment before asking,

“Is the State Capital safer then?”

“No, theoretically it’s more dangerous, but it’s difficult for those here to reach the State Capital. The company’s attempts to settle in the State Capital have been pushed back several times, and there we only have one liaison office.”

Sun Shiyu’s cheerful words made Tao Yu understand her thinking.

“So, what’s the situation like in the State Capital? Are there many experts?”

“There are seven companies on the scale of Starshine Company, plus three headquarters of cross-city companies, as well as various internal families, powers, and factions within those companies, and even more second-rate companies and foreign company offices. The competition is pretty fierce…”

Hearing this, Tao Yu began to get a rough idea.

The conflicts in Starshine City were mostly internal to the Starshine Company, and the old Development Zone was also under the company’s control, so usually, it was just gang fights or family feuds.

The dispute with Chaoyang Society this time was considered a major one.

But the State Capital was different, with conflicts over interests between companies and the complex situation of external forces trying to get in.

However, precisely because of this, it’s difficult for the issues in Starshine City to spill over there…

Going there might not be such a bad idea!

This must be what the wealthy lady thought after sensing the Spice issue. It’s possible that the Suns might move towards the State Capital and then collectively make a run for the new Development Zone.

This was probably the wealthy lady’s way of sending him there early, using this opportunity, so he wouldn’t have to hide in the Abyss. Not a bad idea.

“Alright, let me know when we’re leaving…”
