Global Abyss: My Skills Can Enhance Infinitely

Chapter 590: Chapter 525 Substitute Chapter 590: Chapter 525 Substitute “You seem to have changed a bit…”

Treya said with some surprise after seeing Tao Yu come out of the training room.

Tao Yu originally had very good looks, and after completing the “Innate Demonic Body” and the Dao Heart Demon Seed, he gained a somewhat softer temperament.

Furthermore, his return from the Witch Path in the Mysterious World brought added charm, making him appear even more handsome than before.

Now having achieved a triple occupation, level 2 Angel, and completed the Deification with Primordial Source, he even had something called ‘Witch of Calamity’ within him.

Even though he tried to conceal it, Tao Yu gave Treya a sense of ‘mystery’.

He seemed more charming and more attractive than before.

“Having gained so much Yuan Force, of course I am different.”

Tao Yu’s words made Treya roll her eyes at him.

“So you can use up all the Yuan Force in one go, you broke through the bottleneck, right?”

Hearing that, Tao Yu did not refute.

The Cultivation Technique brought inspiration at critical moments, and hurling thousands of times the Yuan Force at it in a short period could indeed increase the chances of a breakthrough.

He just assumed it was so, as it was not easy to explain.

“I still need to stabilize it; you go have fun by yourself these few days.”

Treya was not some rich Succubus mistress, she was somewhat shy.

After grabbing some Chu Fa reports prepared by State Capital Intelligence, Tao Yu also took them into his room, then began setting up simple ritual Magic.

It mainly included shielding and ‘do not disturb’ signs, and if someone entered, he would know.

Tao Yu could change his appearance and used Anti-Divination, his essential skills in switching identities were still there.

With just a slight twist of his face, he changed into Feng Te’s appearance and also put on a mask.

“His abilities could almost be demonstrated to about fifty percent, should be enough to pass as him.”

Because of some basic information from Dream Spirit Contact, Tao Yu felt that stirring up some trouble temporarily would not be a big issue.

The other party’s communication device was also in his possession, and its covert language was replicated along with divination and codes, so even if someone came to contact, there wouldn’t be any major problems.

Since he hadn’t found the person who had framed him last time, he naturally started by approaching the Assassin’s League first.

“The Assassin’s League and the Thieves Guild have a partnership, their intelligence channels aren’t few, but if infiltration fails, it fails.

It’s not likely that the boss of the Assassin’s League would personally be in command, right?”

Tao Yu felt more confident after the recent advancements.

The Assassin’s League was strong, with the person in charge in Baixing State having even assassinated those of Catastrophe Level!

This was certainly a remarkable record.@@novelbin@@

Had it been before his Deification, he would indeed still have been trembling with fear.

After all, at that time he was merely a rookie who had just stepped over the threshold of Catastrophe Level.

But now, even if he couldn’t win, self-protection should not be a problem.

To put it plainly, even if he really encountered their leader, it wasn’t like there was no way out!

“Hmm, let’s see if there’s been any major events recently…”

After setting up the ritual and changing his appearance, Tao Yu picked up the intelligence materials to start reviewing.

The information that Chu Fa could gather was mostly public, mostly from places like mission halls, and he would be the first to compile these public informations.

As an intelligence officer stationed here, his vocational skills were adequate.

‘Kavad Security Group announces “Ice Emperor” is about to be transferred to the New Development Zone.’

‘The Goblin crisis is escalating, with heavy casualties among the Pioneers.’

‘It is suspected that there is a Demon God among the Goblins, possibly related to the Abyssal Evil God.’

‘The young lady of the Yue Family personally wrote a divorce letter and shot it at the main gate of the Gu Family.’

‘…’

Tao Yu briefly scanned the information, which was still as ‘peaceful’ as usual.

However, half of the messages were about the Goblin crisis in the New Development Zone, which caught him somewhat off guard.

“The power struggle in the State Capital is much more complicated; for the Goblin news to occupy half the space, it really must be something important.

A Goblin Demon God?

Quite an absurd combination.”

Tao Yu then glanced at the news about the young lady of the Yue Family’s divorce, a message he somewhat remembered, having seen it several times before.

But this time the divorce letter was officially shot out, formally tearing faces without leaving any room for sentiment.

Being able to become news figures in the daily events of the State Capital, both the Yue and Gu families were not weak.

Both families were members of the Wanhuo Chamber of Commerce and were powerful families with Catastrophe Level powerhouses, none weaker than that Decaron family that had approached them before.

Seeing these superficial pieces of gossip material, back then, the Yue and Gu families were also allies in the Chamber, mutually supportive in attack and defense, with complementary industries in the Abyss, one in livestock and the other in cultivation.

Looking at it now, there seemed to have been a falling out.

The specifics are definitely complicated, but that’s not something that surface information would explain.

“There’s even one about Starshine City that made it to the State Capital’s trending list, so it has quite an influence.”

‘The Starshine Inner Power System has been confirmed to aid in gaining a Domain early, but currently only a few Grandmaster-level instructors can teach it.’

However, in the subdirectory of this message, you can also see a summary of Starshine City’s recent gains from the State Capital side.

Superconductive Ore and Spice were prominently among them.

And their effects were described.

“Actually, this intelligence is somewhat suspicious; it must have been deliberately spread here.”

Superconductive Ore and Spice have only recently been acquired, and their production capacity is being digested internally by the company.

Aside from the batch they sell themselves, the rest is consumed internally by the company.

After all, these are valuable items that can be absorbed directly to enhance one’s capacity; instead of the time and effort to transport them, it makes more sense to satisfy the company’s own needs first and enhance its overall strength.

When they are nearly saturated, and to ensure prices don’t fall, they would consider selling externally.

The fact that this situation has gained some popularity in the State Capital could only mean there’s an invisible hand pushing it behind the scenes.

Just like the last time with Feng Te’s death being used as a pretext.

Not to mention the Suns, the entire Starshine Company’s foundations are relatively weak in the State Capital, completely in the dark; one wouldn’t know who is scheming.

Even Tao Yu wasn’t sure whether this intelligence was spread by an adversarial faction within the company or by external forces hostile to Starshine Company.

Theoretically, both have motives.

“For now, it doesn’t concern me; the matter arising from Feng Te’s death will likely quiet down for a while.

That’s about it, I’ll go to the Thieves Guild to see if there’s any covert information…”

Tao Yu casually tossed the intelligence aside and then his entire being transformed into a shadow and rapidly disappeared within the room.

Only leaving a slime-like dark shadow presiding over the ceremony he had arranged to prevent anyone from entering…

…

“The State Capital is indeed large and indeed different…”

Sitting on the railcar heading towards the city center, Tao Yu watched the scenery move backwards outside the window, his face also showing a hint of emotion.

Inside Starshine City’s Inner City, there was no public transportation.

But the basic railcars in White Star City, however, covered almost every district, including stations near the suburbs where the Suns reside.

However, the minimum ticket price of 10 Yuan Force was not cheap for average Pioneers in the suburbs.

About half of the car was empty.

White Star City is divided into seven rings, with the prosperity decreasing layer by layer outward.

The area where the Suns reside had high-polluting factories and low-tier living in the Outer Ring Area, somewhat similar to Starshine’s Outer City but with considerably better conditions.

As the railcar continued towards the center of the city, Tao Yu could noticeably perceive the changes in architectural style outside the window, almost feeling a distinct difference in each ring.

Transforming from the suburb’s old and dilapidated ordinary buildings into a forest of skyscrapers made of steel, and as they moved deeper, these buildings slowly took on a more sci-fi aesthetic.

Sleek shapes, metallic surfaces.

In terms of aesthetics, compared to the completely unruly architectural style of Starshine Inner City, it was somewhat more ‘normal’.

‘Next station, Flowerbed Street…’

As the station announcement played, Tao Yu stepped off the railcar as the doors opened.

And nearly a third of the people on the car chose this station to disembark.

Flowerbed Street was one of the bustling streets in White Star City, primarily commercial and entertainment-focused, located within the Fourth Ring area.

Alighting from the car, one could see variously dressed women of different sizes holding signs to attract customers at the side.

Maids, catgirls, bunny girls—you name it, mechanical aesthetic alterations and some alien species also occasionally appeared.

Dining, gambling, and entertainment—all kinds of signs were present, quite comprehensive.

It even gave Tao Yu a sense of being in a modern, bustling commercial street, with a very high foot traffic.

A sense of Akihabara plus pedestrian street.

At the station, Tao Yu could see that the railcar coming from the opposite direction also had many people alighting.

“Each ring is distinguished by the ring roads, but there isn’t much obvious check or blockage.

Actually, the ticket price itself acts as an intangible threshold and barrier.”

Tao Yu sighed softly; for instance, considering the kind of income his parents had, a hard day’s work wouldn’t be enough to buy even the cheapest ticket, so naturally, they couldn’t come directly by railcar.

Reliant only on walking, given White Star City’s scale, the distance itself completed the isolation.

“Just this street alone has more entertainment venues than all those combined in Starshine Inner City…”

Tao Yu just glanced around a few times, fitting for the State Capital, perhaps.

But his visit here wasn’t for leisure.

The Thieves Guild of White Star City located here, and compared to the secretive nature in Starshine City, here, it was almost semi-publicly operating a Pachinko parlor…
