"Good deeds bring good rewards."
Tao Yu looked at the Yuan Force that had just co into his hands, a satisfied expression appearing on his face.
Although there was a bit of a procedure to receive the Yuan Force, and he had to wait for the reserve dispatch, he was completely fine with this wait!
A total of seventy-five thousand Yuan Force in rewards— even for the current Tao Yu, that was a significant amount, an extra earning from just one night out.
"Relying on my knowledge of the plot in the Abyss, and mooching off the rich miss over there, I slogged away for ten months and only earned a bit over twenty million in total, which is just about the sa as what the auction house would make lying around for a month or two…"
Tao Yu slowly exhaled, averaging it out, his daily earnings were only one-tenth of this unexpected windfall.
"However, the equity from the company hasn’t been liquidated yet. Once the breeding business gets on the right track, showing a rising trend and promising future, I can sell part of the equity for cash."
A company with good-looking financial statents and rising prospects, cashing out after an IPO, the money cos in much faster than earning it the hard way.
"This ti’s earnings are not as much as the last, and quite a lot less."
Tao Yu sighed. Last ti, he counted the earnings from the three wise Titans and added the million reward from Sun Shiqing, which substantially increased his net worth.
Unfortunately, the additions this ti were limited. He probably had to sell those four thousand grassland soldiers to see a sizable increase in inco.
But being greedy isn’t the way; one should bite off only as much as one can chew. Having such an easy life now is already quite the convenience…
...
He had gone out to catch people for so extra money in the late night and had waited for a Yuan Force dispatch process.
By the ti everything was done and he ca out, it was already beginning to dawn.
Many of the surrounding neon lights had already been turned off, and streets started to see so Outsiders working temporary jobs, heading early into the Inner City.
They were still in a hurry and cautious, but many now had a hint of longing in their eyes.
Longing, an emotion rarely seen in Outsiders, as most of them are numb…
"My third brother is now working in the security team. Thanks to Ze Chuan’s smooth handling and Uncle Hu’s care, I’m not worried about him being taken advantage of. Still, I should find sothing easy and safe for my parents and sister-in-law to do."
Tao Yu hesitated for a mont; his parents were actually getting used to life in the Abyss, so he’d better ask for their opinion first.
With this thought in mind, Tao Yu made his way to Master Wang’s dojo, dressed as a partner, still enjoying unobstructed access.
Master Wang’s residence was in a relatively central location within the Inner City. Tao Yu, who had always mixed around in the south, was setting foot in this area for the first ti.
The exterior architecture and the cleanliness were much better than those on the outskirts, and even the proportion of people in partner outfits was higher.
"The rent here must be even more expensive, here we are."
Tao Yu looked up and saw the sign of Master Wang’s dojo, which compared to the neighboring neon signs, appeared very standard— just a few ordinary characters reading ’Wang’s Private Dojo’.
Adding the word ’private’ specifically indicated that this place did not recruit students publicly or open its doors to outsiders. Considering Niu Changchun’s case, Master Wang probably only took in students as a favor.
Given how rare the ditation Technique was, it’s not surprising that there were so many who wanted to support him, nor his slightly arrogant attitude towards before.
But this kind of illness is also easy to cure, just give him a couple of tough challenges.
"It’s quite small, much smaller than the First Dojo of Wan Liu…"
Tao Yu climbed the stairs; the building didn’t have an elevator. The first floor housed a tea house, the second a bookstore, and the third was where the dojo was located.
Compared to Wan Liu’s First Dojo, which occupied several storefronts on the first and second floors, this one was much smaller, yet the environnt was also much better.
There was no reception desk, no attendant, and even at the entrance stood two security guards with obvious chanical augntations, quite intimidating.
When they saw Tao Yu walking up, one of them said in a deep voice,
"This is a private club."
"Did he not tell you?"
Tao Yu raised an eyebrow.
But before he could say anything more, all of a sudden, the main door was swiftly pulled open from inside, and the short man who had previously protected Master Wang and who had just begun to grasp Gang Qi, hurried out.
"Sorry, sorry, the servant has no sense; they weren’t yet on guard duty when we ca back."
Wu Tu wore an apologetic smile, then turned to scold the two guys,
"Do you even have any discernnt? Stopping anyone who cos by? Didn’t you see the partner outfit? Couldn’t you check first?"
The rant was like a torrential river, spittle flying everywhere.
This left the two cybernetically enhanced security guards feeling quite aggrieved.
In fact, in the past, whenever they saw soone with a partner outfit, they really would check first, but later, after frequent checks, they got scolded harshly, being told not to check every partner who cos through.
And now, they were t with an about-face on the spot.
But as gatekeepers, all they could do was listen and endure at this mont; they had no other recourse.
"Enough, who are you showing off for?"
Tao Yu glanced at the dwarf and walked inside.
"Please, follow ."
With a smile, Wu Tu nodded and bowed to Tao Yu.
His own Gang Qi had only just begun, and it was Master Wang who had transmitted the ditation Technique to him and found two potions for him to barely grasp it; if truth be told, even if his points were sufficient, he might not pass the high-level partner evaluation.
The main point was that he could produce a powerful synergy with Master Wang.
But he was certain that the guy in front of him, who easily tore through his Gang Qi and subdued him in an instant, definitely had the strength of a high-level partner!
Most crucial was that this involved a Heretic God Follower; Master Wang had even gone so far as to contact Miss Sun from the Abyss after returning and received an affirmative response.
This fellow Temor is from the Developnt Zone!
He’s not even nineteen years old, and it’s only been ten months since his talent awoke!
This is utterly different from those high-level partners whose strengths are already set!
Gang Qi, huh, this guy is following the path of spiritual cultivation, and currently, there is none like that in the Developnt Zone.
This is totally different from the super-high starting point of the exotic implant and chanical transformation types, clearly indicating a greater potential for the future!
It’s very likely that he could beco one of the strongest among high-level partners, or even reach the pinnacle of high-level partners!
If he ever achieves that, he will be able to directly converse with any patriarch of a family from the Inner City.
Although Wu Tu had many thoughts in his mind, he did not stop leading the way.
In the dojo that Tao Yu entered, it resembled a small yoga studio, and despite the early hour, there were already seven students of various ages sitting cross-legged.
Even Wu Tu’s previous commotion and now leading Tao Yu inside didn’t distract them in the slightest, as they all ditated with closed eyes.
In front, a spiral incense candle that resembled sandalwood was lit, a whiff of which could clear one’s mind, suggesting it was an auxiliary Yuan Force item.
Wu Tu did not linger and led Tao Yu directly to a partitioned area in the back, where a room with an ancient-flair, resembling a tea room, was located.
Wooden tables, paintings, and potted plants highlighted a tranquil atmosphere in the room.
Master Wang was already dressed in a white robe, sitting with an immortal’s grace.
Upon seeing Tao Yu enter, his face broke into a serene smile, and he gestured for him to sit down.
"Mr. Tao, please take a seat."
"You investigated ?"
Tao Yu slowly took off his mask.
Master Wang showed a helpless expression and said,
"Actually, that’s not the case. Miss Sun ntioned that if a Heretic God Follower retaliated against you, it would be on my head, so I learned..."
At this point, Master Wang’s face showed a touch of bitterness.
I shouldn’t have asked!
"Oh, that attacking trick you showed earlier, Master, I wonder if you could teach . I find it quite interesting, and I’m also a bit concerned about the attack thods of a ditation Master, wondering what other ntal power-oriented techniques are there..."
With such a legitimate opportunity to press for information, Tao Yu certainly wouldn’t miss it, and he also wanted to learn about the ntal power-oriented techniques of the Inner City’s strong...
