Global Abyss: My Skills Can Enhance Infinitely

Hearing the sounds that followed one after the other, Tao Yu also felt somewhat stunned at the bottom of his heart.

But this was reality, and reality had always been so direct and cruel!

"Since it has come to this, let it be then."

As Tao Yu spoke, he also gradually retreated and hid in a corner.

Even though Tao Yu had already made his statement, the three people behind him did not dare to show their faces; it was still Wino who swept a cold glance at the two men and said,

"Go out and check. Otherwise, I'll kill you first."

This cold voice made Jin Shifu's heart tighten, and together with another survivor, they stiffened their scalps and walked out.

Stepping out cautiously, they found that the anticipated attack did not occur, which caught them happily off guard.

"It's safe now, Young Master Wino. Let's hurry and leave."

Seeing that the two people were unharmed, Wino also breathed a sigh of relief.

Getting pulled into the mess between the Skull Gang and Wild Wolf Gang was really bad luck!

Ever since the day he awoke, it had been an ill-fated year!

With lackluster talent, he also encountered nothing but misfortune!

Wino, who hailed from the Inner City, felt that he was involved by accident, and seeing the two key members unharmed, it seemed that the assassin indeed had achieved his goal.

After all, the Gang Leader of the Wild Wolf Gang and the majority of the core members had died.

There was no need to attack someone like him, a child of the Inner City, and provoke the wrath of his family.

"It's all about taking money to rid others of disasters; no one paid to take my life..."

As Wino pondered this, maintaining his vigilance, he left the hiding spot, tested the waters a few times, and upon realizing all was safe, suddenly accelerated towards the gate.

No matter what, it was best to leave quickly!

But when he reached out to push the metal door, the clattering sound of chains outside made him pause in surprise.

The metal doors had only budged slightly and become deformed, and through the gap, Wino could see outside there were chains wrapped around at least ten times.

Had that guy previously locked the door from the outside?

To prevent escape?

No sooner had this thought crossed his mind than his scalp tingled and he suddenly threw himself backward.

Da da~

The sound of gunfire sounded, and several sprays of blood emerged from Wino's body and legs.

However, the soul-rending pain that followed caused Wino to let out two muffled grunts; even with his physique, he did not manage to roll over and get up immediately after falling to the ground.

This satisfied Tao Yu, who tested the power of his shots.

The purified mental power from "Meditation Technique - Modified" indeed had increased the power of the mental assault, especially now that the mental attack was doubly stacked.

A few casual shots could incapacitate an Inner City child like him from getting up immediately.

"Mental attack..."

Wino swayed as he propped himself up from the ground, emitting a hoarse voice, his face a mask of misery.

"Senior partner, 'Lethal Bullet'..."

Hearing the other party's words, Tao Yu also had a face full of confusion; it must refer to someone capable of imbuing bullets with a mental attack.

But as a senior partner, he certainly was among the top echelon in the Inner City. Tao Yu realized he still fell short compared to such individuals. However, if their styles were similar, it seemed like he could have found a future scapegoat...

Wino's words also caused the trembling Jin Shifu and the other survivor beside him to drastically change color.

A senior partner?

What have we done to deserve the intervention of such a top entity from the Inner City?

"You know too much."

Da da da~

Having tested the power of the mental attack, Tao Yu quickly finished off Wino with a few shots, and bullets instantaneously penetrated Wino's eye sockets.

However, his skull, altered by his alien form, was much harder than the Wolf King's. A few shots failed to significantly alter its shape.

Even though normal bullets without armor-piercing capabilities should have been able to withstand a few hits against his skull, the thought of it intrigued Tao Yu.

He just happened to want to make another zombie, and this guy had a good physique.

Although it needed to remain hidden from the light, modifying its appearance and keeping it concealed in the shadows could be useful for Cao Shaolin's daily activities...

"We don't know anything! We didn't hear anything!"

Jin Shifu, over one point nine meters tall, now looked like a small wife as he turned and shot his last companion, falling to his knees with a thud,

"My lord, I'm willing to be a workhorse..."

"Then give me your Yuan Force," said Tao Yu, looking at Jin Shifu's adaptable demeanor, and blurted out.

This caused Jin Shifu's expression to freeze, before turning bitter.

"If you don't want to give it, never mind then, but still say thank you."

Tao Yu couldn't be bothered to wait any longer and raised the muzzle of his gun.

And at that sight, Jin Shifu's eyes widened.

Wait a minute, the voice at the end didn't seem to change anymore, it sounded familiar?

Why thank me…

Bang~

As the bullet pierced his brain, Master Jin's last bit of consciousness seemed to grasp a sudden enlightenment, the big boy who laughed and thanked him when delivering goods during the day.

So it was I who told him Wino was here…

So his target was originally Wino…

So the Wild Wolf Gang was just incidental…

The Gang Leader is confused…

…

Skull Gang's home base.

The Gang Leader of the Skull Gang, Old Skull, watched his stripped subordinates' corpses, his face also filled with angry expression.

"That damned kid is going too far!"

"Gang Leader, endure it! The Inner City people are helping him now."

"Hmph, sooner or later, they will pay with their blood!"

To prevent his brothers from losing heart, Old Skull still showed great anger on the surface, then stormed back to his residence and shut the door…

…

"Tsk! A pauper! How can he be so poor?"

After setting the whole Wild Wolf Gang's home base ablaze with their own bonfire and gasoline, Tao Yu brought Wino's body and a bit of loot to the vicinity of the garbage mountain.

Because he was worried that Wino might have some self-destructive abilities, Tao Yu let Cao Shaolin come out from the shadows to test.

But in the end, he found that this Inner City young master's worth wasn't even as high as that of the Gang Leader of the Wild Wolf Gang!

The most valuable thing on his body was a Frenzy Potion that could absorb a thousand units of Yuan Force.

The potion was restricted for use by those with alien body grafts, it could greatly increase vitality, strength, agility, defense, and body size, but the side effect was a reduction in rationality.

This reminded Tao Yu of the way Wino looked when he last faced the alien.

"I have Mental Immunity. If it wasn't for the fact that my body couldn't take it without alien grafts, I could actually keep it…"

Tao Yu felt slightly regretful, but safety first, he decided to absorb it as Yuan Force anyway.

As for the Gang Leader of the Wild Wolf Gang, he had various small but useful Yuan Force items on him.

There were two pairs of wrist and knee guards, identical to those owned by the rich lizard women; the set had broken before, and now it was a good replacement.

There was also a badge that could conceal one's scent.

Though it was nowhere near as good as his own Shadow Evasion, when using only his two passive concealment skills, it was still somewhat useful.

For now, he used the badge on Wino's hidden body.

Although Tao Yu wanted to use Wino's body for Corpse Refinement, it was clearly not something he would hide at home before taking it away, the risk was too great.

He would come back at night to retrieve it.

The rest of the odds and ends were directly absorbed as Yuan Force; all in all, it highlighted the poverty of the gang members, adding Wino's potion for a total of about three thousand Yuan Force.

"Well, better than nothing, at least the employer is dead, no need to waste time saving him."

Compared to these trifles, Wino had already provided some decent things previously.

Overall, it was quite a good deal…

…

After a comfortable rest for the latter half of the night, Tao Yu woke up early in the morning to the sound of chaos outside.

He faintly heard something like 'Wild Wolf Gang is finished.'

In an era where communication outside the city was all done by shouting, it was already pretty good for the news to have spread so quickly.

It must be because the case was too severe.

After washing up and stepping out of his house, Tao Yu could see the black smoke in the direction of the Wild Wolf Gang's location hadn't yet dissipated. It had burned all night; indeed, a persistent blaze.

"Brother! Something happened to the Wild Wolf Gang! I heard they were annihilated by the Skull Gang!"

Tao Shi, who was already at the farm, hurried over to share the rumor he had heard when he saw Tao Yu come out.

"What are you fussing about? Which rumors have you been listening to now?"

Tao Yu playfully smacked his brother on the head.

"It's true! I just saw Uncle Hu rushing over there with a bunch of people."

Tao Shi protested.

"With everything being so chaotic recently, you should go out less and help out more with the farm. Or practice some skills more. In less than two years, you'll have to awaken too."

Tao Yu took the opportunity to lecture his brother a bit.

"Oh, but it's really a bit chaotic. The Wild Wolf Gang was wiped out just like that. Looks like Uncle Hu will be busy again soon."

Tao Shi seemed to really plan on staying low key for a while.

Meanwhile, Tao Yu had been planning to find time to visit Uncle Hu, but it seemed that would have to wait for now; he decided to head to the dojo to train and to stock up on some Qi Replenishing Pills.

The dojo master had said he would announce his identity as the true disciple; he wondered if Sun Shiqing, that young master, had returned yet...
