Global Abyss: My Skills Can Enhance Infinitely

"Why did you move? What happened to the place you used to live, how did it become ruins?"

Hugh actively sought out Tao Yu's new house, evidently a bit surprised.

Although the news of the gas explosion was in the newspapers, Hugh and Fors wouldn't know about it unless they saw it themselves.

That's just how information spread in this era.

"Ran into a little accident, why, is there something good happening?"

Tao Yu glanced at the newspaper while sipping a cup of coffee, speaking indifferently.

"There's a new mission, interested? It pays quite a lot."

Hugh pulled out a sketch. It was similar in style to the one of the pirate leader that Audrey had drawn last time, probably from her hand again.

It was a commission from Mr. World, Klein.

Because Tao Yu had taken the job himself.

"You guys go ahead and look for it. If you run into trouble, you can find me, but I won't get involved."

Tao Yu wasn't interested in the tedious details of searching for people, but if a specific target was found after searching, he wouldn't mind lifting a finger.

The con artist who could produce offspring of an Evil God might have some secret on him.

"Alright."

Hugh scratched his messy hair, then mysteriously asked Tao Yu,

"Hey, aren't you perhaps at Sequence Seven now?"

"Hmm, you're really smart."

Tao Yu sounded a bit smug. Although he hadn't fully digested the Witch Potion, he was indeed Sequence Seven, no doubt about it!

Moreover, once he changed the supplementary materials, he was about to become Sequence Six.

"Are you on the 'assassin' pathway?"

Hugh's eyes widened as he stared at Tao Yu's handsome face, his words tinged with a gossiping tone.

This gave Tao Yu a sense of conspiracy. Good lord, had they also found out about witches?

"Secret."

Tao Yu's good mood disappeared instantly, and he showed his guest out...

...

"He's of too low a sequence to go, but I can take you."

Sharon eventually agreed to Tao Yu's request, showing up on her own initiative, but pointed at Klein, who had just come over to discuss information about nobles, ruthlessly excluding Mr. Fool, the child at the kiddies' table.

He was still too low in sequence to attend Sharon's gatherings.

This directly caused Klein's face to fall.

He didn't have the money to buy things, but he did have a few formulas that could sell for a suitable price for mid-sequence extraordinaries.

Now, however, his entire plan had fallen through. In the end, he could only hurriedly write down the few formulas he knew and give them to Tao Yu, asking him to help sell them, with the profits to be split fifty-fifty if successful.

"Okay, I'll ask around later. Take your time going through that noble information, I'm going to the gathering."

Tao Yu teased Klein a bit, which made Klein decide to break through to Sequence Seven as soon as possible.

Then Tao Yu turned to Sharon and said,

"Miss Sharon, we're planning to explore an underground tomb from the last epoch that's suspected of harboring evil spirits. If you are willing to help, we could try it together."

This had been agreed upon with Klein from the start. Due to their strength, it made more sense for Tao Yu to extend the formal invitation.

It would make a better impression.

And as a Sequence Five Wraith, Sharon had a strong sense of evil spirits; it was much more convenient than trying to perform last-minute divination, allowing for an assessment of dangers in advance.

"The last epoch..." Find your next adventure on My Virtual Library Empire

Sharon seemed interested and then nodded,

"I can help, but we might encounter some trouble. In that case, I would like to call on your assistance as well."

"No problem, there is strength in numbers. It's just that we shouldn't involve high-sequence extraordinaries."

Tao Yu readily agreed, as this was what he had initially arranged with Maric.

Help me, I help you; with our combined strength, many impossible tasks can be achieved!

And Tao Yu still had Mr. Fool as his trump card.

If necessary, he would trade the news of the Abyss to get his help. Even a True God might be blocked somewhat!

But of course, Tao Yu was not reckless by nature and still didn't know to what extent Mr. Fool had recovered, so he wouldn't try it unless absolutely necessary.

Who knows what abilities a True God could have, beyond his own comprehension and not something that could be guessed using Emperor's Gold Quill.

"As for today's gathering, I'll just take you there directly."

"Okay..."

Klein, unable to participate, looked envious from the sidelines.

But if the strength wasn't enough, indeed there was no way. The gap between Sequence Seven and Sequence Eight was still quite large...

...

Tao Yu rented a carriage, and Miss Sharon, in a concealed state, followed alongside conveniently, making things quite easy.

It meant that Tao Yu heard her voice in his ear when they conversed.

It was just that Tao Yu was driving the carriage himself—otherwise, if a coachman were present, seeing Tao Yu talk to an invisible person, he might go mad from the fright.

"The gathering itself is in a setting similar to a ritual space, but only twelve people can attend. I applied in advance for your admission and got the approval before you could enter," said Sharon.

Tao Yu was somewhat surprised by her words.

A ritual?

This made him think of Mr. Fool's Tarot Club, with its twenty-two seats, it seemed.

"A fixed twelve people?"

"Yes, but the twelve attendees are all mid-Sequence or above, previously at least Sequence Six."

That Pirate General Zilinges, who roamed the vast oceans, was also a Sequence Six!

Here at least twelve were brought out, indeed surpassing the standards of the vast majority of extraordinaries' gatherings.

And judging from this, the host is very likely to be a high Sequence.

The meeting place was located in the Hillston Area, not too far from the home of that detective Tao Yu knew, but the environment was much better, in a detached villa with a yard.

Arriving at the entrance of the yard, Tao Yu indeed sensed something amiss right away, and when he looked back, he found the road he came from had vanished, replaced by white fog.

Then, the front yard's gate slowly opened with a creaking sound, much like the gates of a castle, revealing the round table inside.

By that time, several figures wearing masks were already seated in their respective places.

"Welcome to the 'Knights of the Round Table' meeting."

One participant seemed to know a newcomer had arrived and greeted them, causing Tao Yu's pupils to constrict slightly.

The Knights of the Round Table?

Another transmigrator?!

If it were just twelve people or the 'Knights of the Round Table,' it wouldn't matter, but combined, the meaning was completely different.

No matter the coincidence, this seemed a bit too much, right?

Moreover, in a world that had Roselle before and Klein after, Tao Yu didn't dare to let his imagination run wild.

"Did Roselle write a novel about the Knights of the Round Table? I remember his subordinates were called the 'Apocalypse Knights,' not the Round Table..."

Since Emperor Roselle had transported almost everything that could be transported, Tao Yu was still considering this possibility, but as far as he knew, such a work did not exist. Then, he directly tried to probe with a question.

"The Knights of the Round Table meeting sounds nice. Is there any special story behind it?"

"Heh, I'm not sure about that. It should be a creation of the mysterious lady's own."

All attendees being mid-Sequence and limited to twelve people, naturally, there were those willing to show goodwill.

Upon hearing this, Tao Yu made certain conclusions about the host...

The environment was somewhat misty and dreamlike. Though it fell far short of the palace of Mr. Fool, it was certainly the product of a high Sequence's abilities, seemingly a story made real.

A story based on the 'Knights of the Round Table'?

However, Tao Yu, who had read Roselle's diary and joined the Tarot Club, was quite receptive to the idea.

It would be better if he were a fellow countryman, for he would surely be a pillar of support, and acquiring materials would be noticeably faster.

"I'm new and not quite familiar with the rules, so I ask for everyone's understanding."

Tao Yu displayed his low profile as a newbie.

He also glanced around the venue and indeed, as Sharon had said, each person emitted a distinct sense of danger, especially the host at the head who felt completely inscrutable, as if her sense of danger had disappeared!

The high Sequence extraordinary who set the meeting's standards was her!

Although she had her face covered, her chestnut hair could be seen, but her dress seemed a bit bizarre.

"This is an exchange platform, there's nothing much to constrain us. If you want something or have something to sell, feel free to speak up..."

...

As the twelve people gradually arrived, Tao Yu understood that satisfying this story likely formed an area of high prophetic immunity, immune to clairvoyance.

The meeting's standards were much higher than Mr. A's and the 'Eye of Wisdom,' but fell well short of Mr. Fool.

This indicated Mr. Fool's recovery of abilities far exceeded those of a high Sequence.

Tao Yu also took the initiative to purchase some auxiliary materials for the 'Pleasure Witch.'

Such materials, difficult to obtain at other gatherings, were indeed easily acquired here.

To buy these materials, Tao Yu used 'Gold Pounds.'

After acquiring the items he needed, Tao Yu thought for a moment and then said,

"I'm interested in collecting 'Emperor Roselle's Diary,' ten Gold Pounds per page."

Although Tao Yu spoke casually, he was observing the reactions of the convener and others at the venue the entire time.

Sure enough, while the others showed no change, the host who had been unyielding showed a flicker of emotion.

"The diary?"

She seemed to ask with a hint of curiosity in her tone.

This made Tao Yu frown slightly since he was deliberately probing. Had there been a misunderstanding?

Or did this person not understand Chinese, or was she intentionally acting this way to test him?

"Yes, I suspect that what Emperor Roselle left behind is a diary, and I'm very interested in the symbols on it. Does anyone here have an interest in selling?"

"I have a page that I can sell to you,"

the meeting convener said unhurriedly.

And her, being the most powerful in the room, surprisingly opened up the conversation for an item worth ten Gold Pounds, causing everyone else to be somewhat surprised as well, though they said nothing.

Only Tao Yu began to rapidly sift through his thoughts.

"There seems to be something off. Wait, the diary mentioned that Roselle had a daughter, right? Predicted to become a significant figure in the Extraordinary World?"

Tao Yu was startled, and then correlating to the color of her hair, it seemed to match perfectly!

He remembered the name in the diary was...

Bernadette?!

This caused Tao Yu's heart to tense slightly, and he decided not to reveal too much about the Chinese language and the matter of being from the same country.

This situation was a little different from that with Mr. Fool...
