Tao Yu left the "strongest battle techniques" dojo’s rented training room in high spirits.
Leaving behind the staff mbers, who were on the verge of tears.
Flowing lava is hard to damage, but to make the dog-chewed-looking training room remotely presentable, they would have to spend a great deal of effort and ti.
It was akin to kneading asphalt by hand.
How did such an expert co to their place, was he hired by the neighbors...
"I need to find a way to contact the little rich girl, let her pick up, otherwise relying on a flying machine will take ages, and it has to be charged, too. I’ll ask her how much the cross-dinsion communication equipnt costs."
As Tao Yu pondered, he then thought of the price of the replica hovercraft.
A normal cross-dinsion communication device would start at several million, at least.
And the communication fees probably wouldn’t be low, either.
"Cost-effectiveness still has to be judged from the ssage board in the mission hall. Relying on the cross-dinsional communication base stations for ssage transmission is much cheaper."
Tao Yu temporarily discarded the thought and checked the ti before heading to Pavilion of Eats to reserve a al.
Last ti’s incident had affected Pavilion of Eats, and when Tao Yu arrived, he noticed a poster prominently displayed at the entrance.
’Full surveillance coverage, with the latest cloud monitoring, all information instantly stored, automatic alarm for cara malfunction.’
It seed that the restaurant owner had indeed spent a lot to regain his reputation.
However, considering the cost here and the daily inco, it seed normal to try to make ands.
"Mr. Tao, you’ve finally arrived. I’d like to apologize once again for the mistake last ti." Stay connected via .Côm
It was the sa lobby manager as last ti, who imdiately ca over to greet Tao Yu warmly after he saw him remove his mask and enter.
Apart from the previous apology, he probably recognized Tao Yu’s identity as well.
A highly sought-after powerhouse outside the Floating City in the new Developnt Zone, even approached by a guild like ’Redemption’ for a mbership invitation.
It was only natural for the owner of such a restaurant who had had an involvent with Tao Yu to have investigated further.
"Reserve a private room for this evening."
"No problem. To express our apology again, we’ll waive the bill this ti and we’ve received so fresh supplies today. Mr. Tao, you and your friends can try our signature dishes."
The lobby manager seed very eager to please.
With such an attitude, it was indeed hard to be angry at them again, and afterwards Tao Yu let him arrange everything after informing about the approximate number of guests. He then stepped out since there was so ti left, and the auction house was nearby, to sell the Yuan Force items obtained from ordinary zombies.
The items were all stored in the Corpse-Hiding Mirror, and with Tao Yu’s current identity and status, possessing such a high-level storage device should not be a problem.
So heavily chanized individuals, aside from so self-repairing Yuan Force equipnt, would surely need such devices for storing their ammo, and it must be related to their power.
And the various weapons that the little rich girl and her group carried seed to vanish into thin air on regular days, they must certainly have stored them well.
His current strength and status ant there was no need to flaunt them as before.
Actually, wearing the partner’s cloak and mask was more about avoiding trouble.
"I could ask Panda and others if they want to buy Vampire Ashes. This lineage is not bad, ’good at spoils the pot,’ it’s a favor to sell these good items to them. Shi Zhixuan’s protective jade amulet could be kept for the ti being."
Life and Death Jade: Capable of absorbing part of an attack and converting it into vitality for the wearer, can absorb three thousand Yuan Force.
It’s a very versatile jade amulet, aligning well with Shi Zhixuan’s abilities.
Shi Zhixuan’s Immortal Seven Illusions and Phantom Demon Technique had already been directly inquired about and, with his current experience, he picked them up quickly.
The Phantom Demon Technique undoubtedly filled the gap in his linear distance.
Furthermore, with his second-stage Deification ability and shadow-related powers, he rged the Phantom Demon Technique with the Spiral Shadow Move.
Aside from the jumping ability which was inferior to Ascending Clouds, his other movent skills were almost fully compensated.
As for the Immortal Seven Illusions, it was a combination of the Immortal Seal Technique, Phantom Demon Technique, and the core of Shi Zhixuan’s own learning, and it was also in the realm of ’Skill.’
There was an affinity with Tai Chi, Great Shift of Qiankun, and the already integrated Sky Demon Great Technique.
Although yet to be rged together, Tao Yu felt that given so ti, he could turn it into a skill.
Once this skill was perfected, it could be queued in the lineup for the second stage of Deification, converging with the Elegant Sword Technique.
However, precisely because of this, the Life and Death Jade was of little use to Tao Yu himself.
He kept it only because such all-encompassing passive protective items were scarce and might one day be given away to serve an even greater value.
Yet due to its very high value, Tao Yu had no intention of giving it to family mbers.
It’s actually safer without it; wearing it could invite danger...
Tao Yu was already a VIP at Star Auction House and, after selling several items previously, his commission fee was now only 6%.
He no longer envied the auction house’s profits, as his own dividends were nearly the sa, drastically changing his outlook.
Holding his VIP card and entering the reception, Tao Yu once again saw the old man who often appraised his items, prompting a chuckle from him.
"Do your auction houses only have one appraiser?"
"If the gentleman is dissatisfied, he can ask for a replacent. However, old here is the head appraiser at this establishnt," the elderly appraiser replied indifferently with a smile.
As soone who relied on technical expertise and possessed an inherited talent that he had been practicing since he was young, he followed a different path and hardly needed to care about anything else.
Put simply, even if his main house lost a fierce battle with soone else, he remained a valuable asset to the auction house.
"Here, take a look at these."
Tao Yu pulled out zombie parts from the Corpse Hiding Mirror and dumped them out.
From zombie heads to claws, the room instantly beca a ss.
Even the well-experienced little old man was surprised by Tao Yu’s spatial equipnt.
"The guest always brings surprises every ti..."
He had a deep impression of this guest. The first ti, an interdiate partner had brought him here, but he started off by selling so decent items, which earned him a VIP card. Later, he sold Titan spinal fluid.
This ti, not only did he switch his goods, but he also brought out spatial equipnt.
One could see his wealth was clearly increasing.
"Alas, these things were obtained at the risk of my life. I’m lucky, but it’s not as stable as what you have here, which is rather enviable."
Tao Yu didn’t mind exposing this; it would be too botherso to keep hiding it every ti he transported goods.
"Once is bravery, twice is good luck. If you can maintain this, then luck is also a kind of strength."
The little old man chuckled and then picked up a zombie head, not minding its charred appearance, and started examining it directly.
"The contamination is a bit serious. It seems to be a skill leaning towards zombification... Hmm, refining zombie puppets? However, it probably fears yang property things. The skill is actually quite good, but it’s best to be paired with ditation Technique, as it puts a significant strain on the mind.
If the corpses have been chanically augnted or grafted with foreign bodies, they can be carried with you and can also transport goods. Do you have so many of them?"
The little old man looked at the parts that had been spilled on the floor curiously. As a senior appraiser, he naturally knew that they were all roughly the sa, only varying in contamination levels.
"These are good items, it’s just a pity that the skill contamination is too severe. Cleaning them is costly, or they could be sold for even more. Don’t sell them all at once. Set the starting bid at ten thousand. I estimate a final price of twenty to thirty thousand. If you sell so many at once, it will take more ti, otherwise, they might not sell at all."
"Then let’s do as you suggest. I’ll co back next ti to collect them."
Tao Yu still had over a million Yuan Force on him and could sell for more money, so there was no need to rush.
"Hehe, I thought you were selling Titan spinal fluid again. Was the Titan spinal fluid sold at the next auction house by you?"
The little old man seed curious but then waved his hand and said,
"I’m just personally curious. If the guest doesn’t want to answer, that’s fine. We can’t break the rules."
However, Tao Yu paused, then frowned and looked at the little old man,
"The spinal fluid sold at the next auction house? The War Hamr Titan’s?"
According to what he knew from Zeke about the Nine Titans of Wisdom, only the War Hamr Titan wasn’t under his control, right?
Has soone ventured across the seas to Marley?
A vague sense of foreboding filled Tao Yu.
"Ah, yes."
"It wasn’t who sold it. I’ve only sold here. Do you know what its properties are?"
Tao Yu suppressed the sense of unease in his heart and asked as calmly as possible, seemingly just out of curiosity.
As soone who had sold Titan spinal fluid a few tis, it was normal to be curious about competitors. This didn’t surprise the appraiser, who then casually said,
"The one they sold was much better than the ones you sold before. Although there were lifespan limitations that affected the price, it still fetched a high price of over six hundred thousand. That portion of Titan spinal fluid, combined with a particular bloodline that was sold with it, could control those mindless Titans to a small extent..."
Hearing this, Tao Yu’s heart turned ice cold.
Images of Eren’s foolish smile flashed through his mind.
Tao Yu didn’t like Eren and even found him a bit annoying—foolish and sowhat adolescent. But that didn’t an he would tolerate others doing such a thing!
"Heh, I didn’t even kill him, but you did it for ..."
Tao Yu let out a self-mocking laugh, with a hint of chill in his eyes.
His mastery of Unity of Heaven and Man prevented him from showing this on his face; he maintained a curious smile and listened as the little old man went on and on,
"Although producing those mindless Titans is troubleso, requiring a special kind of racial bloodline, for the War Hamr Titan that was sold along, there must have been an attempt to replicate that beforehand. Having this control over Titans, one could inject spinal fluid into the natives to gain a short-term, formidable Titan army.
It’s a pity their transformation ti is too short; otherwise, even with the lifespan limitation, they would be worth more..."
"Yes, I wonder who the lucky one who got this was, not using it for themselves or for their subordinates."
Tao Yu seed to be envious as well.
"The auction house always protects client information, so I wouldn’t know about that. But as you said, if this power wasn’t digested internally, it’s probably from a chanical augntation lineage. This Titan power, like Demonization from the New Developnt Zone, would gradually recover on its own. It’s a forbidden power for those on the chanical augntation side..."
"Oh, I see..."
