"The Chosen One’s information task can probably just be handed directly to that kid Shiqing when the timees,"


    With the cloak of an intermediate partner adorning him, Tao Yu encountered no obstructions along the way.


    In fact, he could already submit the ’Chosen One’ task.


    But after submission, he would have to wait for confirmation, and eight times out of ten it would be Sun Shiqing who came to confirm. If someone else were to handle the confirmation, there was no telling how long it would take.


    It would hardly be as convenient as going directly to Sun Shiqing. When the time came, he could just smoothly take his reward in advance.


    "I should set aside tasks for now; it seems I won’t need to go to the task hall."


    Tao Yu considered the goods he carried.


    He would wait for Sun Shiqing for the Martial Arts Manual, but he could have someone look at the value of the Snake Galldder and Snake Skin first. His status as an intermediate partner would be sufficient to cover it.


    Yet, the most profitable item this time was the spinal fluid from three Wisdom Titans!


    Such an item could definitely not be appraised by the capabilities of the outer city; thus, it must be sold in the Inner City.


    Lacking Appraisal Art, Tao Yu, the three items he had exploded with were skill information, so he couldn’t directly use the convenience of the world’s will like he could with the Snake Galldder to understand what was inside due to the pollution interference.


    Tao Yu, aware of the plot, could of course roughly determine what it was, and could even consider it highly likely to be aplete skill. But he still needed an appraiser to examine it thoroughly.


    "I wonder what the learning threshold is for Appraisal Art; it’s really something valuable."


    At this moment, Tao Yu also thought about Appraisal Art. Even if regr Appraisal Art could not handle items of such value, he could undergo Deification, after all.


    While thinking this, Tao Yu took out his watch and adjusted it to a pre-recorded radio frequency.


    "Brother Kong, are you busy right now?"


    Unlikemunication chips, using a radio frequency doesn’t cost money and the equipment is quite cheap. It’s a very practical thing even in the Inner City.


    It’s certainly more convenient than installing a phone line or inte. The downside is that, although you can find your own frequency, it’s exceedingly easy for others to eavesdrop.


    It’s not really eavesdropping, though; anyone who tunes into the frequency can automatically hear it. It’s a form of open listening.


    N?v(el)B\\jnn


    In fact, many intelligence agencies also monitor arge number of radio frequencies.


    But for some everyday inquiries, that doesn’t really matter; it’s just like the radio frequencies used by taxis.


    Tao Yu didn’t have to wait long before Wang Goudan on the same frequency responded.


    "I’m here. I’ve justpleted a task. Did you juste back from the Abyss, Brother Tao?"


    Wang Goudan’s voice came through. His main source of ie was staking out the task hall every day looking for suitable tasks, and sometimes he would enter the Abyss toplete a mission. He didn’t have a fixed routine.


    He had a very flexible schedule.


    "Brother Kong, do you have any rmendations for a ce to sell goods? I have some things to sell."


    "Alright, where are you? Let’s talk face-to-face."


    Because it involved items, and without knowing the value or how expensive they might be, Wang Goudan still chose to meet face-to-face just to be safe.


    The ce they agreed to meet was under a rather abstract,rge bar billboard.


    The billboard could almost be considered andmark nearby. It featured a voluptuous and enchanting beauty whose poses and expressions changed over time, making various suggestive gestures and faces.


    The area beneath the billboard was also crowded with provocatively dressed women of all sorts.


    But since Tao Yu was wearing the cloak of an intermediate partner, he didn’t attract any extra harassment.


    Looking around, Tao Yu also felt that the residents of the Inner City had quite the taste for entertainment. There were cat girls, bunny girls with exotic body imnts, and plenty of women with mechanical modifications.


    Speaking of which, judging by the looks after their modifications, many could indeed be considered upper ss, scoring eight or nine points, but they also looked a bit too artificial.


    Having experienced the refinement of a rich woman, Tao Yu remainedpletely unmoved.


    But the most extravagant sight was those who had obviously grotesque aesthetics, resembling female Titans or those with very evident mechanical traces on them.


    Looking at their numbers, they probably weren’t an exception—some residents of the Inner City might just have heavier tastes.


    "Xenogenic imntation most likely even affects hormones; after all, it’s not exactly the orthodox way."


    Tao Yu reaffirmed his view that both xenogenic imntation and mechanical modification have their limits. and these limits are rted to the extent of modifications one can obtain.


    Theoretically speaking, the limit could be quite high. Divine demon imntation, or some kind of mythological technology, might also be possible.


    But the problem is, you need to acquire these things first. Given the current situation in Starshine City, it’s obviously not feasible.


    "However, cultivation also requires cultivation methods and channels. I’m capable of deification, which is why I have this convenience, but for ordinary people, it is still these two short-cuts."


    "Tao my man, over here."


    That was Wang Goudan’s voice, and his four arms were still quite eye-catching.


    Then Tao Yu saw several streetwalkers proactively greeting him.


    "Hey Loki, long time no see."


    "Don’t hold back anymore, let loose today~"


    "Is this young brother your friend too? Come and have fun with us today."


    "..."


    Well, it seems he’s pretty popr around here, but luckily, from what I can see, there’s no issue with tastes.


    "Busy today, wille again next time."


    Wang Goudan gave a sleazy smile, then pped one of them on the butt.


    By now Tao Yu was already heading outside, making Wang Goudan quickly follow him.


    "Hehe, this ce is the easiest to spot and find."


    "It’s alright, I’ll be needing Loki’s help in a bit."


    "Not a problem, I’vepleted today’s tasks, and I’ve got nothing else going on, but I need to know the kind of things you’re selling and their level to decide the right ce to sell them."


    Wang Goudan exined further.


    "If the price is within tens of thousands, it’s better to go to the underground market, nomission either. But if the price is too high, forget it, even us mid-level partners can’t always control the situation there."


    "I have three items, each priced over a hundred thousand."


    Tao Yu nced at Wang Goudan, sensing the other’s emotional vibrations through Spirit Perception, but fortunately, there was no malice; he seemed decent enough and had a good sense of self-assessment.


    "Damn, Tao my man, you’re awesome. Is the Development Zone Abyss really that profitable?"


    Wang Goudan was a bit envious, then he began asking more detailed questions.


    "Are they items or skills?"


    "Skills."


    "Skills that must be absorbed?"


    "Yes, they’re likely rted to bloodline and could have side effects."


    "Bloodline!"


    Wang Goudan was somewhat amazed.


    Bloodline skills can cause conflicts, but also due to their fast acquisition and short training time, they can sometimes highly synchronize with certain xenogenic imntations, making them highly valuable for the right buyer.


    They are the kind of items that those who disdain wouldn’t use, but the right buyer would pay a high price for.


    "Then I suggest going through the auction process. Though themission is rather high at ten percent, they usually send targeted, precise ads. They can notify even the old Development Zone Abyss area since the higher the sales price, the more they earn."


    "How about the timing?"


    "In the Inner City, there’s an electronic auction every day. If we hurry, it can even be today. The process is simple, but I think it’s not worth it—they don’t have any advertising time."


    Tao Yu also considered it briefly. He himself disliked such abilities; selling too quickly might not find the interested buyer. If the auction house could ensure precise ad targeting, then waiting a day or two wouldn’t matter...
