All People's Abyss: My skills are infinitely enhanced

Chapter 378 Crisis of the Floating City
"These are the only things I have that are fine. The others all have family marks. Although we may not be able to do anything to you, we pioneers are really not weak. When the portal opens and my elders come over, you and your village may be in big trouble..."

Pavas said with an apologetic smile, and he had already placed a bunch of small objects in front of him and explained them one by one.

Tao Yu's eyes lit up when he heard this.

There aren’t many things, and there aren’t any amazingly powerful items, but they’re all very practical!

At least the cross-border communicator worth millions can be re-anchored into the node as long as the data inside is cleared and formatted.

Because he thought that the ninja didn't want this thing, he gave a detailed explanation. Tao Yu could also sense that he was sincere when he talked about this thing.

There are stabilizers that can constantly tear apart the entrance to the world barrier, similar to the world of Avatar, or they can directly open a channel on the barrier and keep it anchored. There are twelve of these stabilizers.

A contract document that looks like human skin paper. Tao Yu can directly read the contents of this document. It is a wish-granting item.

The main function is a 'confidentiality agreement', which allows the content of the conversation between the two parties to be kept confidential and not disclosed to outsiders.

There are no strong constraints, but those who violate it will directly suffer from the strong pollution of the abyss. Ordinary people will definitely die, and even Pavas will lose half his life if he violates it.

Moreover, this contract document can be reused, but it can only be used three times a month and requires charging time.

If these things were only used to absorb willpower, they weren't actually that expensive. Absorbing all of them might only cost twenty or thirty thousand, but their actual value was extremely high.

Except for the contract document which was still being played with, Tao Yu sealed the others into a sealing scroll in front of him.

"You won't die if you break the agreement, right? Break it so I can see the details and what you just said."

Tao Yu spoke calmly.

After seeing Pavas's hesitation, he spoke
"You also said that if your elders come, our village may be in trouble. If you can convince us with sincerity, you may be able to cooperate with the Sand Village on what you discussed with them. Ninjas are there to solve problems for their employers. You should have also inquired about the reputation of ninjas."

Tao Yu's words really touched Pavas' heart.

Because based on our current understanding of these ninjas, this is really the case!
They were hired by the Harkonnen family to help get deeper into this place.

While RDA wanted to make a reverse invitation, they were very unprofessional and didn’t even bother to discuss it.

As long as what I propose does not conflict with their current tasks, it seems to be completely feasible!
"You are right. We have no conflict of interest. If you release me, I can promise you a large ransom. Or you can just take me back in exchange for the ransom. You can ask for anything you want. We have many unique items that can be used in exchange."

Pavas said repeatedly.

"Of course I know the value of capturing him alive. So, you don't need to worry about your life, or you don't want to get hurt? It seems that you don't have any sincerity. Did you lie to me when you introduced the contract document? The price is actually very high?"

Tao Yu's cold and hoarse voice made Pavas feel constipated. After weighing the pros and cons, he sighed.

"Okay, let me tell you, just now..."

Before he could finish his words, he suddenly groaned.

Tao Yu also felt that a lot of chaotic and ominous pollution seemed to appear out of thin air, and kept pouring into his mind, and penetrated into his facial features like black fog!

His nose was bleeding and the whites of his eyes seemed to be dyed black.

It made his breath very chaotic.

It took at least half a minute of stabilization here before I could recover a little.

There are actually a lot of white hairs on the blue hair.

This contract is actually a subjective ability, which is a bit unreasonable. Moreover, the pollution that appeared out of nowhere and the material that is the same as that of the human skin paper do not look clean at all.

It must have been a severely contaminated item that they spent a lot of effort to wash away the contamination.

After recovering a little, Pavas said bitterly in a much hoarse voice:

"This is the price. Even if I am in our position, it will take a long time to recover. Ordinary people will surely die."

"Well, I believe in your sincerity. Let's talk about it. It should be fine now."

Tao Yu encouraged in an approving tone.

"I am going to talk about some more details next. It is related to our family's layout, so I also hope that you can sign a confidentiality agreement with me."

"Huh? Are you threatening me?"

Tao Yu's voice suddenly became silent.

"I'm not threatening you. All the resources I have are given by my family. I need to be responsible for my family. I broke the agreement before to show my sincerity. But what I'm saying now is of great importance. It's useless for you to kill me."

Pavas had an aggrieved and helpless expression. Although he was young and inexperienced, and acted very spineless after being arrested, at this time he showed the loyalty of a family elite to his family.

The words were soft, but firm.

Tao Yu could feel the other party's determination through his sense of unity between man and nature, which surprised him a little and made him re-acquainted with this arrogant young man.

Then he took out the contract document.

After seeing Tao Yu take out this, Pavas breathed a sigh of relief and asked Tao Yu to continue taking out the shielding beads.

Tao Yu readily did as he was told.

"Haha, I spent so much effort. If there is nothing useful, then you will feel the methods of the Ninja Torture Department."

Tao Yu and the other party simultaneously stretched out their hands and pressed on the human-skin document. Tao Yu also felt a cold breath that seemed to want to penetrate into his soul.

But it was wiped out as soon as I came in.

Tao Yu, who was originally planning to use [Power: Price] to make a temporary adjustment for precaution and change, couldn't help but curl his lips in his heart, just like that?
It seems like I can get it for free.

After seeing that Tao Yu was willing to keep it a secret, Pavas finally breathed a sigh of relief. He definitely didn't want to die, and this was enough for now.

Since the other party is willing to take the risk of confidentiality, the risk can be controlled.

"I believe that your village is not necessarily a monolithic entity. In fact, our pioneering side is more complicated. Currently, this pioneering area is in the hands of a powerful pioneer family..."

"What family?"

Tao Yu asked a lot of questions. Although he knew it was the Sun family, he still asked so that he could ask some more in-depth questions later without appearing abrupt.

"The Sun family ranks fourth among the twelve Star Glory families, but now its actual comprehensive strength is firmly second. Those who can come here now are all vassals or allies of the Sun family. Our Enger family is one of the allies of the Sun family. Our overall strength is second only to the twelve Star Glory families."

"So, you actually want to betray the Sun family, right? What kind of cooperation do you want to have with us? And why should we give up the more powerful Sun family and cooperate with you?"

Tao Yu asked. "No, no, we can't say we betrayed the Sun family. We still fulfilled our covenant, but many families in the new development area don't want the Sun family to dominate alone."

Tao Yu was quite surprised by Pavas' words, because he felt that the other party did not seem to be having any reluctance and spoke very frankly.

Is it because he doesn't know? Or is there some other reason?
"Actually, it's like this. We pioneers have a device for abyss teleportation, but the placement and application of this device must be controlled by the Sun family. Once this happens, they will most likely limit the teleportation energy level, so that they can control the situation no matter what comes..."

As for Pavas’ words, the rich young lady also mentioned to Tao Yu that this is the place the Sun family wants to use as a fallback, so it will not cause things to get out of control.

"So there are many forces that don't want to see this scene."

"Many forces? Which ones?"

"Well, I don't know the exact amount, but the thing I want to borrow from their mothership's energy source was given to me by the Guandi Family, which ranks seventh among the Twelve Star Glory Families."

The Guandi family?

Tao Yu now has some information about this place. The Guandi family is the seventh ranked family and is also the original introducer of the 'Ganqi' practice method.

In addition to the huge profits earned when they first appeared, all the gyms that teach the "Gan Qi" practice route now have to pay them a tribute.

It’s just that the profits nowadays have been greatly reduced, so they no longer do it themselves.

They had also had conflicts in the past, and they had firmly suppressed the family that introduced the "combat skills" route, which was ranked at the bottom of the Twelve Star Families.

They would jump out. This is indeed a competition with the Sun family's latest "internal force" system, but would they jump out like this when their strength is so much worse than the Sun family...

Tao Yu was a little hesitant. Perhaps it was not just the Guandi family that was involved. It was just the complex environment of the floating city. Even the young man Pavas might not be able to sort it all out. Tao Yu was confused at this time.

Only after finding out all the problems, can you tell the rich lady.

"So, what did they give you? And what are you going to do?"

"A one-time teleportation device. Although our city does not have a stable teleportation array, we still have this kind of one-time prop. However, the cost of using this prop is more expensive. In addition to a lot of willpower, it also requires a huge amount of energy. I can't bring much from the real world, but it happens that their spaceship may be able to meet the needs."

Tao Yu nodded when he heard this, and then said sarcastically

"So, you want to bring that strong man from the Guandi family here to suppress the people from the Sun family? Isn't this still betrayal, just to put it nicely."

"This is completely different. The Guandi family is not crazy. It is impossible for them to really suppress them after they come here. Anyway, the abyss can be connected through other places. It is not impossible that he accidentally arrived nearby due to the space turbulence caused by the falling world."

Pavas insisted that he had not betrayed the covenant. It was possible that the covenant itself also had some invisible constraints, but they should have a way to circumvent them to a certain extent.

"When the time comes, it will be nothing more than completely opening up the new development area after the teleportation array is installed. In fact, many other cities are also open to the outside world. It just so happens that the two top talents of the Sun family entered here on the first day, so it is a bit of an exception. There is nothing wrong with us doing this..."

After saying this, he looked forward to Tao Yu again.
“So, we can definitely form an alliance. When the masters of the Guandi family come over, it won’t be just the Sun family that has the final say. This place will enter a stage of division.

"Our family has great interests and deep investment in mechanical transformation. We are willing to pay a huge price for the superconducting mines here. At that time, the Sun family will definitely stabilize our alliance and will most likely give it to us..."

Pavas' endless words made Tao Yu sigh in his heart. In fact, this is the most primitive driving force of Pavas Enge's family.

Without benefits and advantages, they would not take the risk.

"That makes sense."

Tao Yu nodded, and then began to strip Pavas of the remaining wish-power equipment.

"If you want these, it's fine to give them to you. We can still afford the price. You can use them as a gift for our alliance. But please leave the personal teleportation device to me. I can give you an equivalent compensation next time."

These wish-power equipment are all "exclusive" to Pavas, with some secret doors and tricks, but Tao Yu just doesn't want to waste them, and is purely preparing to absorb the wish-power, but will not keep it for his own use.

However, that personal teleportation device can be brought to the rich woman to help her understand some of the problems.

Tao Yu also took a look at this thing. It also had a startup password, so it would be useless to keep it in his hands.

Or maybe the Sun family must have noticed the undercurrent here, otherwise the rich woman would not have told them the worst plan.

They just might not know the details.

"I like the gift very much, thank you."

Just after expressing his gratitude, Tao Yu raised his hand and directly smashed Pavas' head.

As if worrying enough, he instantly formed a seal with one hand, and a fire dragon appeared in an instant and devoured his body!
If it weren't for the world suppression of Pandora, Tao Yu would have wanted to use the Yin-Yang and Five Elements Divine Thunder.

While burning Pavas's body, Tao Yu was somewhat hoping that this guy would drop something similar to [Power].

"what?"

What's more, as the body burned, there was still some residual power of will at the original place, as if there was something in his body.

Tao Yu's shadow changed and entered the burning corpse directly, searching continuously. Then, he pulled out a mechanical implant with a little mucus from his cervical spine, which looked a bit like a vertebra.

This made Tao Yu a little disappointed.

As for the mechanical transformation, it seems that their family has made some achievements in this area. However, even so, there is only such an implant in Pavas' body, so it should not be a simple thing.

"This thing doesn't look like it has any mechanical implants, and my spiritual sense doesn't give me any sense of the threat of self-destruction. This thing shouldn't be a bomb..."

Tao Yu cautiously used the shadow to detect it, and then directly read the clean information without any pollution.

[Neural Reflex Acceleration Module]: It has undergone a special curse from a certain bloodline family. It cannot be implanted in non-family bloodlines. It can stimulate neural reflexes at critical moments, enhance body functions, and achieve an instant acceleration effect. The specific effect is determined by the user's affinity and load, with an upper limit of five times.

When Tao Yu saw the content of this thing, he was a little shocked.

Damn, the beggar version of time acceleration?
Although it is not a fixed time control that involves the concept of time, and the burden is definitely beyond imagination, the actions that can be performed in the accelerated state may be very simple, and it is impossible to integrate many abilities at the same time like I do now.

But it is undeniable that being able to achieve this approximate effect with just an implant is already extremely powerful!
"No wonder his reaction speed suddenly increased after my last attack. It was because of the stimulation of this thing. I said that he could actually struggle a little bit under my sneak attack. This is not normal."

Even though he used sealing techniques to capture him alive, he should have been able to exceed the opponent's reaction.

But unfortunately, it was an implant. Although Tao Yu was briefly tempted, he finally shook his head and directly sealed this thing that could absorb 100,000 wishes into the scroll and threw it into the corpse mirror.

I can't give the blood curse to others, and I don't need it myself, so I'll first ask the rich lady if there are any potential risks. If not, I'll install it on a zombie, or find a way to install it on a flying mount in the future.

"But it seems that the Pavas family may be stronger. The power inherited by the Jackdaw family may only be this one, but the Pavas family may have more than one module of this kind..."

No wonder he said they had their own achievements in mechanical transformation. However, the mechanical implantation in the floating city is completely different from that in the inner city. The level has been greatly improved...
