Chapter 122: Chapter 111 Qi-Blood into a Pill
“Big Brother Tao, you were one of the first Pioneers to enter, and you’re actually a few days older than me. This is this month’s dividend. Please accept it with a smile…”
Standing at two meters and thirty centimeters, even when Panda tried to lower himself, he was still a head taller than Tao Yu.
That expression left Tao Yu somewhat speechless.
“You were the ones who killed him, so why be so cautious?”
Tao Yu really didn’t mind the situation at the scene. Taff was incredibly resilient; everyone had to stab him once, and in the end, it was the joint effort of three Inner City Pioneers that finished him off.
Aside from the first strike by Tao Yu himself, the rest had little to do with him.
The main pressure was borne by Panda and the others, but looking at Panda’s expression now, it seemed like he was scared he might accidentally kill him.
Upon taking the two magnetic cards and feeling the sum of one hundred and twenty thousand Yuan Force inside, Tao Yu’s eyes also lit up slightly.
“This is rather embarrassing.”
While saying that, he also quickly absorbed the Yuan Force inside.
“No, if it weren’t for Big Brother Tao’s critical intervention, the warehouse’s future profits would be gone. This sum also includes some form of expression from Han Lin.”
Panda cracked a smile.
Han Lin was the one with crocodile skin grafted onto him.

“Bro Tao, I’ve been on bad terms with that woman for a long time. When she called off the engagement back then, it brought great shame to my family. Good riddance to her.”
Han Lin came over, thumping his chest in gratitude.
This left Tao Yu utterly baffled. It turned out that he was also a powerhouse who had been through a broken engagement.
However, Tao Yu wasn’t particularly surprised by this kind of thing. In Outsider regions, it was quite common for engagement agreements to be made and then called off due to discrepancies in the awakening of talents.
So, to avoid trouble, his family never got involved in such matters.
It was likely the same case with Han Lin right now.
“You’re too kind.”
Tao Yu patted him on the shoulder.
“Not at all, I’m also looking to join Big Brother Tao’s company now, if you would allow it.”
Han Lin chuckled, standing humble before Tao Yu although both were Inner City Pioneers!
Strength represented status!
Even if they might harbor resentment or envy deep down, reason taught them what choices to make!
Why should an Outsider have such strength?
Just because of good talent?
No!
It was because he truly caught the eye of someone influential!
“I have no objections.”
Tao Yu glanced at Panda beside him, prompting Panda to quickly say,
“Don’t worry, Big Brother Tao, your shares will always remain the same. The company’s expansion will be arranged and distributed using our own shares.”
This made Tao Yu nod as well.
What a great deal!
Even though he wouldn’t be able to match up with future profits, it was still an extra source of income!
And most importantly, apart from times like these where appearances mattered, he could mostly free up his own time.
So, even if the dividend amount was a little less, it was still pretty good.
“I need to complete tasks for Young Master Sun and Miss Sun most of the time, so I may not be able to show up often. Please bear with me.”
“Not at all, as long as we have such a mainstay, how much time can we spend on daily tasks?”
Qimen, still emitting sparks of electricity from his body, also conveyed laughter in his words.
Watching the three smiling Inner City Pioneers in front of him, Tao Yu couldn’t help but think of Joseph and Wino from back then.
Then, the words Uncle Hu had said to him flashed through his mind.
As long as he was strong enough, everyone around him would be good and kind.
Yes, they were all Inner City Pioneers, and all of a sudden, they all became quite reasonable, didn’t they…
However, Tao Yu didn’t let it get to his head.
He had a clear understanding of himself. The main reason for the mass slaughter other than his own abilities and initial kills was actually because everyone was still quite green!
Even the earliest among them had only been awakened for about three months.
Yuan Force acceleration wasn’t omnipotent; it also took time to assimilate.
“There’s a catch; he spent a significant amount of Yuan Force as well. If that doesn’t guarantee a crushing victory, it would be unreasonable, but those veteran Inner City powerhouses should never be underestimated.”
Not to mention the veteran Inner City powerhouses, even the Wolf King who was killed in seconds and Li Hui, the deputy captain of the security team who was ambushed to death, actually had quite strong abilities.
“For humans with fatal weaknesses, I am indeed a specialized attacker, a god of civil strife.”
Tao Yu also had his thoughts. In fact, the speed and explosive power that the Wolf King had displayed completely surpassed his own, but he still died from a shot to the head.
This Taff, based on that previous grab, had an all-around advantage in speed, strength, and reaction, and Tao Yu’s Spirit Perception also sensed a dormant yet untriggered force, which might involve the supernatural.
But if Taff died without even using that force, it’s pretty useless.
“If you need anything, find me; I’m heading back.”
With the problem resolved and the dividend received in advance, Tao Yu waved his hand and left promptly.
Watching Tao Yu depart, Panda’s face showed a hint of sentiment.
“Impressive, another big shot is emerging from the Outsider ranks.”
“Solving Taff with a single move, regardless of whether Taff was careless, is enough to prove his ability. It’s only been three months…”
“He’s too strong. I was completely outclassed by Taff.”
Qimen sighed.
“The talent should be more than just Grade A Dynamic Vision, but now he has grown.”
“As an Outsider with a clear background, the Suns family will surely want to cultivate him heavily, I wonder how many resources they will allocate…”
“Even a mere favor from the nobles of Floating City can’t possibly be worse than what we Inner City people get.”
At that moment, Panda clapped his hands.
“Alright, let’s wrap things up here, clean up the bodies and everything else properly.”
While deaths were common in the Abyss, it was still necessary to be cautious and not leave behind anything too incriminating.
If no one speaks out, who would know that Taff and the others have died?
By the time something seems amiss a few months later… it would be too late.
…
“Luck really does favor the bold.”
Feeling the presence of tens of thousands of Yuan Force, Tao Yu also felt somewhat emotional.
His first sizable sum was from discovering the ‘Chosen One’; it was good luck and he obtained a large amount of Yuan Force and the Stealth skill all at once.
The money he earned afterwards was from legitimate hard work.
And this time, simply by showing up, not only did he secure his original profit but also saw the dividend surge by 50%.
“With an income of a hundred and twenty thousand all at once, I have more options now…”
He sensed his Yuan Force and skills.
Although his daily consumption of Yuan Force was also substantial, he was already through most of his stable growth period, and efficiency was beginning to drop.
So a second Deification of his skills was inevitable.
“Originally, I didn’t have many choices. Aside from daily expenses, Stealth had the best cost-performance ratio, but now even Myriad Flow Stance Skill and innate talents are worth considering…”
Tao Yu pondered.
He was now just a bit short of the second Deification for Bullet Time, and he could potentially save up for it if he stopped his current training.
However, such a decision to halt training and deplete all resources is too extreme, leaving nothing for emergencies.
Innate talents offer only limited immediate improvement and might not be entirely suitable.
Continuing to push the limits and enhance my attributes constantly remains the best strategy; otherwise, even a second Deification of my talent might not fully realize its efficiency.
Myriad Flow Stance Skill requires even more resources than a single stance to be Deified. The first Deification cost five hundred, while the second requires a hundred thousand!
It’s far more expensive than the Basic Breathing Method, but its effects should be notably superior, and there will still be some Yuan Force left for daily consumption.
“Stealth is indeed great, but Shadow Manipulation has already filled the gap where Shadow Force could not be stored, and stretching my limits further after entering the stable period will increase my efficiency even more.”
Now that he had an extra windfall, Tao Yu no longer hesitated. After returning to his trailer, he began eating canned food and chose the Myriad Flow Stance Skill.
The newly acquired Yuan Force evaporated by a hundred thousand in an instant!
A terrifying force of Qi-Blood burst forth from beneath his feet, rooted itself along his leg bones up to his spine, and then surged into his mind!
Creak, creak~
Aching and the sound of bones could be felt throughout his body.
Under the pressure of this force, Tao Yu naturally assumed the stance of the Stance Skill.
As his body moved, the Qi-Blood around him gathered, converging towards his abdomen and forming a Qi-Blood elixir…
