All People's Abyss: My skills are infinitely enhanced

Chapter 157 Inner City
Tao Yu looked at her sister again. Although Tao Lan's face was still pale from postpartum weakness, she looked so strong under the reflection of the sleeping baby in her arms.

She was standing in the queue and waved to Tao Yu with a smile, signaling him to hurry into the city.

Looking at her sister's smile, Tao Yu also breathed a deep breath.

Then he turned and walked towards the city gate.

As a 'partner', Tao Yu's way of entering the inner city is much easier than the queued workers.

Because the watch already has his identity chip, which was given to him by Panda when he set up the company. There is no need to check when entering, just swipe it with a "beep".

However, the price of this convenience is 10 points of willpower.

For an ordinary out-of-town family, it can be considered a day's income.

"Even if I give my sister and brother-in-law this privilege, I'm afraid they won't use it."

Tao Yu sighed and thought.

My brother-in-law should be able to enter through this way, but his high-level work card can exempt him from the entry fee. This is a reward for his hard work in the inner city for so long.

If they really charge a fee for this kind of work card, then they are basically working for nothing.

"The migrant workers come to the city to serve the inner city residents. Their 'entry fee' is actually the value of their labor. However, junior partners coming to the city may not necessarily bring benefits to the inner city, so this threshold is set..."

Tao Yu passed through the thick inner city walls, and the inner city streets gradually came into view.

Completely different from the dirt roads and mud in the outer city.

Although the overall style is not clean, the main style of the painting brings a sense of depression under the overall dark light and shadow effects, and some garbage can occasionally be seen on the streets.

But overall it is much better than the outer city!
The two-lane highway is paved with asphalt. Sewer outlets can be seen on the roadside, and pedestrians of various styles are walking on the sidewalk. At this early morning time, most of the people are migrant workers from other cities who have just passed the inspection.

The local people from the inner city who occasionally appear have completely different spirits and attire.

The colorful hair colors and various non-mainstream hairstyles make it easy to distinguish them.

Judging from their constant yawning, many of them may have a rich nightlife and have just finished their entertainment and are preparing to go home to catch up on some sleep.

In addition, most of the shops on both sides of the street were closed at this time, as if it was too early and not yet open for business. There was only one bar with a flashing colorful logo, which was just about to close.

Those neon signs seemed to have been flashing all night long.

The architectural style next to it is also a bit abstract, with various images, and it seems that there is no unified planning.

Various billboards and slogans made up of huge neon lights filled the entire field of vision and extended all the way upwards.

Including those buildings with dozens or even hundreds of floors, all have strange styles.

Those abstract architectural images that would have been ridiculed if posted online in previous lives can now be seen everywhere here. At a glance, you can't see two identical buildings.

"The outer city still needs to worry about the occasional gray fog monsters, but the inner city doesn't need to worry about these at all..."

Tao Yu stepped into the inner city, took a breath of the air which was still mixed with a hint of exhaust fumes, and felt that the environment was actually just average.

It’s not as good as the new development area. Las Vegas is almost being cleaned up now, and it really looks better than here.

Looking back at the migrant workers who were coming out of the checkpoint one after another, many of them looked much more energetic the moment they stepped into the inner city.

It seems that this place carries their hopes and yearnings.

Looking up at the sky, the floating city is right above the inner city, making the atmosphere even more depressing, as if the sky is much lower.

"First, find a few inner city missions with high points, get the qualification for the assessment, and get the qualification for 'Intermediate Partner' before going back."

Originally, if it weren't for Uncle Hu's matter, Tao Yu wouldn't have thought of getting the "intermediate partner" so quickly.

There shouldn't be many newcomers in the inner city who can achieve this kind of status that allows them to stand firm in the inner city in such a short period of time. Talent, family background, and resources are all necessary to meet the requirements.

Moreover, it is estimated that it is mainly based on mechanical transformation and allogeneic implantation. Although the cultivation side will not be inferior to the first two in the later stage, there is indeed a gap in the early stage!
To be honest, for a person from outside the city, I am already a bit eye-catching.

but!
When Tao Yu saw his sister queuing up with her child early in the morning, he knew that he would do the same even if Uncle Hu was not implicated by him!

"If you quickly become a mid-level partner and gain a firm foothold in the inner city, you will automatically solve many problems. Doubts, jealousy, and envy will all disappear in the face of strength..."

Tao Yu thought of the sudden change in attitude of Panda and others after they killed Taf, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

With the benefits given by the two members of the Sun family as a cover, he appeared to be an ordinary "mid-level partner", which was not impossible to suppress!

If you have trouble, just focus on yourself!
And after becoming a mid-level partner, you only need to show your skills when solving specific problems.

Those who know will naturally know, and those who don’t know don’t need to care!

Compared to other migrant workers coming in from other cities who were so cautious and didn't even dare to raise their heads to look around, Tao Yu's actions seemed much more natural.

Looking at the few inner city people who came out of the bar and chatted and laughed on the street, he didn't feel anything special or concerned.

I've killed so many people.

In his eyes, the inner city pioneers no longer had any glory. After all, they were just mortals. They would die if their heads fell off...

……

"Even the mission hall opens so late..."

While looking at the instructions downloaded at the city gate, Tao Yu came to a mission hall with an exaggerated gate, which looked a bit like a circus tent.

This was one of the many mission halls in the inner city. Except for the flashing sign, the hall door was closed. But compared to the city gate, perhaps because some time had passed, there were already seven or eight people waiting at the mission hall door.

Tao Yu took a quick look and found that some of them had temperaments very similar to the inner city people he had met on the road before, while the others gave Tao Yu the feeling that they were more like the mercenaries he had seen in the lobby of the fortress.

There is a high probability that he is a junior partner, or even a junior partner who has not yet obtained formal inner city status. His purpose of coming here is the same as Tao Yu's, which is to complete tasks in the inner city with higher points and rewards.

When Tao Yu arrived at the door, several people looked at him, but no one came forward to talk to him. They all waited silently.

"The inner city is not entirely safe, but this is definitely a place with relatively good public security..."

Tao Yu glanced at the several cameras in front of the mission hall.

In fact, with the technology of Xingyao City, if they really wanted to, it shouldn't be a problem to at least fill the inner city with cameras.

Not to mention other things, there are quite a few in the supplies looted from the newly developed areas alone.

But based on what we have seen on the roads so far, there are actually only a few places in the inner city that have cameras.

Generally, key locations such as city gates and mission halls are covered, but ordinary streets and alleys are not covered at all. This is because there are not many vehicles in the inner city, and there is not even a strict transportation system.

There are strange-looking traffic lights, but there are not necessarily cameras at the intersections.

Existence is reasonable. Since the inner city has formed the current situation, there must be corresponding reasons.

Anyway, the reason is definitely not because of lack of money...

While Tao Yu was waiting here, he was also maintaining low-power meditation and breathing techniques. After all, not wasting time was already his instinct.

If he was able to use his full strength, he would have wanted to punch right there.

After waiting for about twenty minutes and seven or eight new people arriving, there was finally movement in the mission hall.

Through the glass window on the door, one can see a pink-haired, sleepy-eyed girl with a robotic arm coming to the door and starting to unlock it. Then, with a strength that was disproportionate to her body size, she pushed open the heavy-looking door.

"Make way, make way, be careful not to get hit."

While mumbling to herself, the girl with the robotic arm never stopped moving her hands.

After opening the door, he took out a few more signs and placed them at the door.

The words on those signs are large and small, but very eye-catching.

Just a few rules.

For example, you can’t fight or make loud noises.

"Miss Mag, any new mission?"

"Ms. Mag, has anyone completed the debt collection mission of the Broken Tooth Group last time?"

"Miss Marg is still so energetic."

"You look beautiful again today."

"Another day full of energy."

"..."

When the girl started to open the door and put up the sign, several veterans who seemed to be queuing frequently came forward to greet her.

From their attitude, we can roughly tell that this sweet-looking and cute girl may be responsible for this every day, and her strength and ability should be strong.

"Don't talk too much and don't make too much noise, understand?"

Margo muttered, not seeming very patient.

It seems normal to go through this repetitive process every day.

But then she seemed to catch a glimpse of Tao Yu again, and her dissatisfied face lit up slightly.

"Ahaha, finally there's a new guy, and he's quite handsome."

At this time, several people nearby also locked their eyes on Tao Yu, examining him constantly.

Fortunately, since they were all people who came to line up for food so early, there was no hostility from anyone, but more of a scrutiny and observation.

"Ms. Marg is also very cute. I want to take on a few partner missions worth about 800 points. It's best if they are not complicated and can be done by one person in a short time. Do you have any recommendations?"

Tao Yu made full use of her appearance and said with a smile.

From the attitude of the people around him, we can tell that Mag, a staff member of the mission hall, should be very clear about many tasks and may also have a lot of internal information and data.

Task points are usually linked to task difficulty and various weight bonuses.

If you simply go by the price of willpower, without any bonus points, a company mission with a reward of about 8,000 willpower would be required.

The difficulty and complexity are definitely not low.

However, if there are some tasks that have not been completed for a long time, or have weighted blessings and recommendations, there will be various degrees of point increase.

Tao Yu himself knew almost nothing about the environment in the inner city. Although he was confident that he could complete a task of this price, it would be best if he could learn more about it...
