Global Abyss: My Skills Can Enhance Infinitely

Chapter 301 - 271 This is not very good

```

The Monster World has been in existence for several months, but because of the enhanced strength of the demonized monsters in this world and the affordability of Yuan Force items, most Pioneers who choose to enter the Monster World have quite a few tricks up their sleeve.

Once the aliens in Forest 01 World were eradicated and the outdoor threats significantly reduced, a camp filled with tents sprang up at the border between the Monster World and the forest.

Nearby, many giant trees were chopped down, and small wooden houses mixed with tents and bonfires created a bustling hub of activity.

The broken road extending from the Monster World had also become a muddy path hewn from the wilderness, and even though some gravel was scattered about, it was still uneven. The two-lane path allowed vehicles to move but only at a very slow pace.

It was somewhat similar to the dirt roads found in many parts of Africa.

Fortunately, Pioneers were not too fond of taking care of their vehicles. As long as they didn’t wreck them, minor bumps and scrapes were more than normal.

Despite the availability of many intact houses with much better accommodations in the neighboring world, most Pioneers still preferred to rest at the small camp in the Rainforest side, to avoid being ambushed by demonized monsters.

However, Tao Yu was not among them. At this moment, he was staying in a clean apartment close to the border, testing his new abilities.

To eliminate the interference from this world’s enhancement, he would leave temporarily to validate the effects after each successful anchoring.

"Can’t really exploit a bug, huh..."

Tao Yu assessed the cost of his latest anchoring, accepting a reduced power limit in exchange for negating ’negative effects’.

He hoped to use [One Proof Forever Proof] to counteract various issues, including longevity.

The positive effects were certainly present and quite good, but they did not reach the free ride status Tao Yu originally hoped for.

The price of anchoring could be simply negated by consuming two tubes of Nutrient Paste, but the continuous effects would reduce his power limit, akin to inflicting an injury on himself. While it wouldn’t really lower his limit, it required him to expend physical strength to counteract it.

Then, the ’physical strength depletion’ negative status would transform back into a ’wounded’ state on him, and he would again have to use his strength to offset it, creating an endless loop.

There were advantages too; the loop extended his overall endurance by about fifty percent, especially prolonging abilities with high consumption. Innate Time Control at eight times speed could probably be extended by double.

In essence, Tao Yu could maintain full-powered output for nearly twenty seconds, compress it into two to three seconds, and still perform the Celestial Pole Big Dipper Array without the need for Yuan Force endurance.

"Not bad, I’ll use this for now."

This was the temporarily best result after several tests by Tao Yu, akin to spreading out the current cost of his powers through installments.

Indeed, there was a limit to this ability, but if used wisely, its cost-effectiveness was very high.

It was much better than directly anchoring Yuan Force. Using his own Yuan Force to recover, plus the current transformation, was far more cost-effective than anchoring Yuan Force directly.

Zzzt~

Standing on the border between the Rainforest and the Monster World, next to Tao Yu’s apartment, his watch picked up signals from the radio frequencies he had been monitoring. Experience more on empire

"Big Bro Tao, I’m here. Where are you? I’ve brought several capable people, don’t worry, we’ll take them out."

It was Panda’s voice.

"About a kilometer to the left from the camp at the crossroads."

Tao Yu smiled upon hearing Panda’s words.

Heeding the advice of the little rich girl, Tao Yu didn’t keep it a secret. Although he didn’t blatantly leave messages over the radio, he sought out Jack and asked him to relay to Panda that he had caused some trouble, and to be safe, he decided to lay low in the Monster World for a while.

This place had world enhancement benefits, increased recovery abilities for those with demonized powers—convenient for Tao Yu’s daily practice and ability testing. Furthermore, his power would significantly increase in this home field, making it an ideal location to seek refuge after causing trouble.

Now, Panda and several skilled members of Dada Company were rushing over, genuinely believing there was a serious issue.

Smiling inwardly at Panda’s words, Tao Yu thought that being merciful sometimes had its benefits. Indeed, it was best to stay calm sometimes.

If he had acted rashly and killed indiscriminately, only for the little rich girl to later say everything was handled, it was hard to imagine what he’d feel.

Before long, accompanied by the sound of whistling through the air, Panda and seven or eight others swiftly made their way through the forest, arriving near Tao Yu and landing nearby.

Tao Yu glanced over. There were many familiar faces, and a few he was seeing for the first time.

Beside Panda, the first person Tao Yu recognized was Qimen, followed by Han Lin, a strong contender from a canceled engagement, Huang Jian and Nuosen, with whom there was a minor dispute on the road leading to the discovery of the Monster World; and three other newcomers.

"Big Bro Tao, we’re here."

Panda grinned upon seeing that Tao Yu was unharmed, his towering figure automatically making him the center of the group.

"Thanks for coming."

Since part of the act was to continue the ruse, Tao Yu spoke with a hint of sorrow in his voice.

"Big Bro Tao, what’s the deal? Jack didn’t explain clearly—are we in full-scale conflict with the Beast Tamer noble houses, or does it include their entire alliance? We need to be clear about this."

Knowing that Tao Yu rarely mixed with the base or the current world and still lacked some understanding of the Inner City, Panda took the initiative to educate him.

"It’s fine if it’s just the Beast Tamer noble houses, but the power they’ve built up so far is not insignificant. We need to distinguish between enemies and friends, and only target the Beast Tamer houses."

```

"Hmm, you’re right, I specifically targeted the Beast Taming Families, and right after the incident, I visited young master Sun..."

Tao Yu had gone there openly and aboveboard, even completing the registration and encountering Treya, perfectly able to withstand scrutiny.

"Oh? What happened?"

There was a slight gleam in Panda’s eyes, for being able to visit young master Sun in person was a great honor indeed.

"Er, I got a scolding, telling me to solve it myself. They could ensure that the current world’s Beast Taming Families wouldn’t retaliate against me, but in the Abyss, everyone is on their own."

A trace of embarrassment appeared on Tao Yu’s face.

"What did Brother Tao do to get a scolding from young master Sun himself?"

Qimen was also a bit curious.

As the most senior of the Inner City Pioneers in the company, he had heard the communications between Miss Sun and Tao Yu, and their relationship should be described as close to that of friends.

Moreover, it had been possible for the company to maintain neutrality all this time, thanks to the efforts of our major shareholders.

Being able to remotely attract the attention of young master Sun without even having to transfer shares.

To have this relationship and still get scolded?

"I killed Perry."

"..."

"..."

There was a moment of silence at the scene.

Perry, one of the seven pioneers of the base suspected to have the strength of senior partners, the ’Pig King’ among the seven Celestial Poles.

He was the frontman for the new generation of the Beast Taming Families, rubbing his hands together, intending to center their whole business in the new Development Zone around him.

The initial investment was by no means small; with the bloodline of the boar people royalty, his matching minions, and the profits and concessions made with other forces in the current world.

And then you just slaughtered him like that?

Just like this, the Suns’ big shot does nothing more than scold you and then claims to block for you in the current world, what an honor!

You killed Perry, and now how many forces will they have to gather in the new Development Zone to target you?

And yet, you still leave a message saying there’s trouble, making it sound like you think you’re the victim? Have you got it all wrong!

And here you are, hiding in your own turf; aren’t you being a bit too cautious...

Let’s face it, among the eight people present, more than half possessed the ability of mid-level partners and, with some tools and equipment, the eight of them together were actually capable of conversing with senior partners.

Add to that you, the beast who could single-handedly take down Perry, and a bunch of well-trained men at your disposal, there’s no need to hide!

"Boss, why don’t we push back, take over their Alien farm? If they complain to the Suns, we give it back to them, step back, and everyone’s happy."

Spoke a young blond man Tao Yu didn’t recognize, boldness swelling in his heart.

If we wipe out the people the Beast Taming Families have in the new Development Zone and have a big shot protect us in the current world, they’ll be begging us!

"Ah? Can we really do that? That doesn’t seem right..."

Tao Yu looked genuinely troubled.

"I just took my fall from grace."

Seeing Tao Yu’s Versailles-like expression, the group couldn’t help but feel a bit speechless.

This is you killing one of the new Development Zone Inner City’s pillar masters, and you’re only getting a scolding for that—it’s protection!

Sometimes scolding isn’t really scolding!

"We better act fast, or the remaining people from the Beast Taming Families might notice something’s amiss and call their allies. If that happens, it might lead to some complications."

Panda was actively suggesting now, as Tao Yu nodded his head in agreement.

Calling allies?

Is this good news?

I want a big scene...
