Chapter 115: Chapter 105: Re-enter

“Wow, this bike is really handsome.”
Uncle Hu couldn’t take his hands off the heavy-duty motorcycle in front of him, his smile never ceased.
“In our world, there are plenty of these little toys. Uncle Hu, you can get gasoline, right?”
Seeing Uncle Hu so happy, Tao Yu smiled as well.
“Haha, no problem, it’s definitely enough for daily use. The old gathering place has oil-producing areas.”
Uncle Hu said with a beaming expression.
Oil, the blood of industry, many Outsiders choose to bring some back after working in the Abyss.
Although the output is limited and the price is a bit high, Uncle Hu could still afford the fuel consumption of a motorcycle.
“To be honest, I’ve had my eye on this thing for a while. The price is one thing, but it’s mainly too big and not suitable for my build.”
Uncle Hu, with his short and stout figure, found it difficult to handle such a heavy bike.
The punk-style bikes from Inner City were truly not rideable for him – his feet couldn’t even reach the ground.
He estimated that he would have to ride in a butt-forward position, but fortunately, he was strong enough to keep it steady.

“As long as you like it.”
Uncle Hu had helped Tao Yu a lot. Naturally, he wouldn’t skimp on some small things brought back on the side.
Even setting aside the fact that Uncle Hu was South City’s deputy leader, he had investment value. The combination of interests + family ties was the most solid.
No matter what, his whole family still lived here, and having Uncle Hu look out for them made a big difference.
“I wanted to deliver it a couple of days earlier, but with the gang fights recently, I figured you were too busy.”
Tao Yu then took the opportunity to ask about the Wild Wolf Gang.
“Man, don’t even start, I haven’t closed my eyes for a few days, but it’s pretty much settled. I can finally get some rest.”
Uncle Hu caressed the motorcycle while talking, almost as if he was complaining.
This made Tao Yu pause, then he asked,
“It’s settled?”
“Yeah, the Skull Gang did it, isn’t it obvious?”
Uncle Hu pulled out a homemade roll-up and lit it. ‘Joy’, that sort of thing, was mostly untouched by the security forces – he had seen too many cases. It was never as glamorous as portrayed in the propaganda.
“Right, the Skull Gang.”
Tao Yu nodded.
“But that old Skull is really tough. It took three days and drugs before he finally cracked. He was a real man.”
Uncle Hu blew a smoke ring, his expression tinged with a hint of sentiment.
This made Tao Yu’s mouth twitch involuntarily.
However, since he was already using something from the Skull Gang, and the Skull Gang itself was detested by everyone, there was nothing to feel guilty about.
It’s about exterminating a menace, understand…
…
In the evening, as the sky grew dark, Tao Yu also returned home.
His parents hadn’t returned yet; they normally only had five days off per month and rarely swapped shifts except on special occasions.
Recently, probably due to the gang fights, his brother Tao Shi had been staying at home obediently.
When Tao Yu got home, his family was waiting for him to have dinner.
“You could have started eating without me. Why wait? I’ve been staying at the dojo these days.”
The third brother, sitting in his wheelchair, spoke meticulously upon seeing Tao Yu,
“You’re going back to the Abyss, we definitely had to wait for you. After all, the new Development Zone is different from the old gathering place, and this time you’re going away for so long.”
“Yeah, Tao Yu, if you feel out of sorts, make sure you come back ahead of time.”
Tao Shi also reiterated his advice.
Meanwhile, the sister-in-law went to serve two steamed dishes that had been kept warm, and the family solemnly finished their dinner.
“Don’t worry. I know what I’m doing. It’s okay if I don’t complete the mission, safety comes first.”
Finally, after dinner, Tao Yu reassured everyone, then slipped a thousand units of Wish-Power Metal to his third brother.
“Brother, you take this first. Your little brother is earning quite fast now, this is to help with the family expenses.”
“`
Earning a thousand Yuan Force is still quite fast for Tao Yu now, but for his family, it could significantly improve their livelihood.
Even though Tao Yu had considered the possibility that giving more would not be accepted, witnessing Tao Tong’s change in expression when a thousand was offered was still striking.
“Kid, it’s not your turn to provide for the family yet. It’s only right to bring gifts to Uncle Hu, but we don’t talk about these things amongst ourselves. Your main duty is to grow up quickly. I won’t accept it. We wouldn’t use it even if you gave it to us; we’ll save it for you.”
With just a few words, Tao Tong completely cornered Tao Yu, leaving him somewhat speechless.
However, after hesitating for a bit, he still took it back and said solemnly,
“Fine, next time I come back, I’ll show you, Third Brother, what your little brother is capable of.”
In two days, the little rich lady will bring the connection terminal to the new gathering place to complete the company’s registration.
By the time he returns, he’ll be able to show them how capable he is at making money through shares in his transportation company.
That kind of earning ability indeed requires some overt strength to suppress, otherwise, it might attract other new troubles.
It’s true that having the support of the Suns is a plus, but it’s easy to see Yama and hard to deal with the demons; he can’t bother them with every trivial matter. Most issues still need to be resolved by his own strength.
Their relationship only serves as a background adjustment, filling in some of the innate deficiencies of an Outsider…
…
“The idea you mentioned is quite interesting, but the operation is difficult. After the Visualization Diagram suppresses the thoughts, reaching level 6 proficiency is the minimum requirement for free control…”
“Are you there? How do you think we should deal with the mental strain and pain from grinding it out? Over time, this might leave hidden mental scars. I’d appreciate if you could share some suggestions for reference.”
“Have you returned to the Abyss?”
“…”
Tao Yu looked at Sun Shiyu’s unread voice messages and couldn’t help but smile, then he replied.
He first shared some ‘guesses’ based on the unique perspective he gained after his Deification Meditation Technique, and then he added,
“My apologies, Miss Sun, I plan to head back today, so I had some matters to deal with. I am about to start my meditation, see you in the Abyss.”
After sending the message, Tao Yu pulled out the communication card, then turned into a shadow and slid out of the room. Once he regained his size, he quickly headed to the burial site under the cover of night…
…
Zombie 01 shards, late at night, zombie’s howls occasionally rose on the streets, coupled with the whistling of the wind through the windows, the atmosphere turned quite eerie.
With a flicker of mosaic-like imagery, Tao Yu, carrying a corpse, reappeared in the room he had left earlier.
Just returned, Tao Yu heard the growl of an Alien beside him and felt the faint sense of connection with his mount resurface in his heart.
He could sense that Little Black beside him was filled with an irritable and savage mood.
“Be quiet. You can’t eat this one.”
Tao Yu glared at Little Black, whom he hadn’t seen for five days, and glanced at the night that had deepened into the wee hours.
Howl, howl, howl~
Although Little Black was quite restless, it lay down begrudgingly on the ground after hearing Tao Yu’s reprimand, occasionally swishing its tail.
Seeing that the creature was still behaving, Tao Yu, who had wanted to take the opportunity to discipline it and test the strength he gained from the Myriad Streams Breathing Method, found himself unable to lay a hand on it.
He still petted Little Black anyway, soothing it once, which made the creature that hadn’t been pampered for five days comfortably roll over and lazily sprawl on the ground.
“Five days isn’t a big issue, but it’s starting to show some restlessness. I estimate another five days might pose a risk of losing control. After all, a beast is still a beast.”
Tao Yu felt a bit regretful.
However, as the Taming time increased, the period until losing control could be extended. Moreover, the refined spirit from the Meditation Technique seemed to enhance the soothing effect as well.
It’s just that it’s not convenient to expand the number of Aliens too much, which was a bit of a pity.
“When it’s time for Corpse Refinement, and all the body’s potential is digested, I wonder if I could attempt to capture an Alien Queen, and then control the Alien swarm through her…”
Tao Yu pondered. With the success of the transportation company in mind, Tao Yu had also discovered that earning Yuan Force was actually faster in some traditional industries than by fighting monsters.
If he could capture an Alien Queen, there was indeed another potential source of income.
“But therMeditationhas been a Rebel Whelp that killed an Alien Queen. If you don’t control Aliens directly, indirect control still carries a risk of losing control. It’s worth a try, but I shouldn’t waste too much effort and get my priorities mixed up.”
His goal is to become stronger!
Not to become a big transport squadron leader and breeder…
Standing by the window and looking at the moonlit sky, Tao Yu leaped out with Wino’s corpse and headed towards the site of corpse cultivation.
Little Black followed closely with a leap.
There’s no time like the present to start Corpses refinement—beginning now…
