All People's Abyss: My skills are infinitely enhanced

Chapter 430 Intelligence
"I can't do it. Why are they so miserable..."

Tao Yu simply took off his tactical vest and stuffed the corpse mirror into it. Overall, the shirt and vest he was wearing were not much different from the other people's attire, except for the material and workmanship, which would be different if one looked closely.

Having no money on him, Tao Yu had originally planned to rely on his still quite agile skills to act as a robber.

But after breaking into several houses in succession, there was really nothing to gain.

He also discovered that the lives of these people here might be very ordinary. Many rooms were rented by many people and there were signs of people sleeping on the floor. They all seemed to be living in misery.

However, relying on his still extraordinary hearing and his own dexterity, Tao Yu has gained some understanding through many conversations.

The place where we are now is Backlund, the capital of the Kingdom of Loen. Currently, this place belongs to the East District of Backlund and may be a slum.

The income is very complicated. The main body should be a currency called soles and pennies. There seems to be gold pounds on it, but it should be rarely used, at least by the people here. Although it is called gold pounds, it seems to be paper money.

Moreover, many people here have faith, but their faith is rather complicated. I often hear them thank three gods: night, storm, and steam, which is quite weird.

Taking into account the perspective when coming in and some hints from the world's will, Tao Yu felt that this world might have a true God, otherwise it would be impossible to block those outside the planet and form a protective shield.

It is very likely that these three are the real gods.

"You recognize gold and silver, that's a good thing. I have some on me. Let's get some information first..."

Tao Yu glanced at the street sign, "Dharavi Street", and then saw a pub that looked dirty on the outside but was crowded inside.

Let's go check it out. Usually places like this have the most up-to-date information. Maybe there's a place like the Thieves Guild there...

……

Tao Yu squeezed into the pub, and was immediately hit by the stench of alcohol and sweat. Although the pub was lively, it was very cramped and there were a lot of people inside. It should be a place that was more in line with the consumption capacity of the East District.

But after all, Tao Yu had lived in the outer city before, and the environment there was worse than here, so there was no need for him to be pretentious.

After looking around, Tao Yu fixed his eyes on the direction of the bar, and then squeezed over there with his still extraordinary strength.

Although the brutal action caused some angry glares, this power still made people say nothing.

Tao Yu, who had been in the outer city, certainly understood how to deal in such places, and flexing muscles could reduce trouble.

But soon, Tao Yu also felt a strong force hitting him, and it seemed that it was also coming from the bar. This startled Tao Yu, and he immediately began to restrain himself, then turned his head to look.

Ok?
I didn’t see anyone!

This……

uh~
Looking down at the messy tuft of yellow hair, I found out that it was a dwarf who was less than 1.5 meters tall.

But the force was very strong, not something that could be exerted by someone of his size, uh, so Tao Yu became cautious.

"Please give way."

A muffled sound came from the dwarf, and it seemed that he didn't like the smell nearby and was feeling a little suffocated.

Tao Yu also took a step back and followed her.

I saw her walking towards the bar, as if she was looking for someone.

Tao Yu also stood aside inconspicuously, as if he was thinking about something.

Soon, she seemed to have found the person she was looking for. He looked like a young man in his twenties, with a bit of fierceness between his brows, but his facial features were quite gentle. It seemed that his temperament was specially created to survive in this kind of environment.

"Williams, I have something to talk to you about."

The dwarf knocked on the table roughly, making a bang-bang sound, and it turned out that he was very strong.

When the people around found out it was her, they didn't seem too surprised. This girl might be somewhat famous in the neighborhood.

But that's true. Even if Tao Yu only has less than half of his strength left, he can still be called very strong. Among ordinary people like him, he is definitely superior.

"Oh, Hugh, I haven't seen you for a few days. I heard you were locked up."

The man named Williams, slightly tipsy, said that the two men should be acquaintances, and that the dwarf was called Hugh, and had a certain fame and prestige in the neighborhood.

"Well, my friend got out after finding some big shots to help him. He used some heavy hands."

The dwarf did not deny it.

Tao Yu was a little concerned when she heard that the dwarf was locked up. She should not be a decent person, which was consistent with her extraordinary power.

Was it too heavy? How heavy? It could have killed someone.

"Oh, let's have a drink to celebrate your freedom."

Williams raised his glass.

"Are you crazy, letting her drink?"

The boss who was wiping the wine glasses behind the bar interrupted Williams with a panicked look on his face.

This made Tao Yu stunned. What? She couldn’t drink?
Are you worried about being persecuted after getting drunk? This boss is really nice...

Later, Tao Yu heard what the dwarf said. It seemed that the drunk young man in front was an intelligence dealer, and she seemed to be asking him about the news of a noble lady.

This should be quite common information. Although the two people lowered their voices when talking, Tao Yu could still hear it clearly.

She seems to be the daughter of a great nobleman, Earl Hall, who is super rich.

However, according to the information Williams received, the other party seemed to have a very good character.

I don't know why this dwarf is trying to find out this information.

The other party seemed to come here just to get this simple information. After paying for the wine for the information dealer, he jumped down from the high stool. Not to mention, Tao Yu was a little surprised when she turned around.

Although her golden hair was messy, she was small and had a flat face, but her facial features were delicate and soft. She just hadn't grown up yet and looked a little immature.

Tao Yu was a little hesitant at this time. He wanted to follow this dwarf to see what kind of extraordinary ability system she was involved in, and he also wanted to find this intelligence dealer to get some related information.

In the end, he just rubbed her messy head casually, leaving a trace of positioning magic.

However, this action immediately earned the dwarf an angry look, as if he wanted to go berserk on the spot.

Tao Yu said with a slightly persuasive tone

"Get out of the way. Children shouldn't come to a place like this so early."

"Ahaha, kid..."

Xio seemed to have heard something unacceptable and was about to do something.

It was Williams who spoke from behind.

"Oh, he looks unfamiliar. He must be new here. It's normal that he doesn't recognize you. Hey, that person over there, this is our famous 'arbitrator'. Don't underestimate her. Apologize quickly."

In fact, it can be seen that Williams, who pretends to be fierce, seems to be a good person.

After Tao Yu left behind a breath of air, he climbed down the stage using the ladder with a look of realization on his face.

"Oh, sorry, you look like my brother and I don't want him in a place like this at such a young age."

Although Xiu Diercha was hurt by Tao Yu, she was not an unreasonable person, and she happened to have a younger brother.

After hearing what Tao Yu said, I managed to suppress the anger in my heart, but I felt even more aggrieved.

"Don't recognize it randomly next time. Let me."

After saying that, he pushed Tao Yu away angrily and squeezed out again.

"She's a girl."

Williams waited until Hugh left before carefully reminding him.

"Oh, really? I said you were good-looking, but I was wrong. I came to see you because I heard you have some information."

Tao Yu reached out and placed a few golden beans on the bar.

Although it is not a traditional currency, it still made Williams' eyes light up slightly.

Ordinary people wouldn't dare to collect this kind of stuff casually, but as someone who makes a living from intelligence, it would definitely be no problem for him, as he has enough eyesight.

"Oh, my friend, you have found the right person. I know all the news around here."

"I'm a country boy who just arrived in Backlund. I want to make a career here, so I want to know some precautions. There are also some issues that require a more private discussion."

"No problem, come with me, to my room."

Williams' attitude was quite good because of Tao Yu's golden beans. He then took Tao Yu to a room on the second floor of the tavern...

……

Obviously, it is impossible to know all the precautions and even some customs of Backlund in a short period of time.

But after receiving the money, Williams still made a tailor-made arrangement for Tao Yu.

The first thing is to help him arrange a set of identity documents. Since he makes a living in this field, he has the channels for this purpose.

"Don't worry, the identities are all real people, they just got into trouble due to various accidents. We carefully selected some of them who have no relatives. Don't worry, one of them is very suitable for your identity."

Williams didn't care whether Tao Yu was really an outsider who wanted to come to Backlund to make a fortune.

Anyway, since the other party said so, he believed it and really picked a stranger who came to work.

Later, I was fired from the factory due to illness, and nothing happened to me anymore. I just became a piece of information on their side.

"The management of these migrant populations is not strict to begin with. It is normal for them to lose their ID cards accidentally. This is enough for you."

Tao Yu took a look and saw that it was a Tingen man named "Fok Sosi".

"I'm not very familiar with Tingen, will it be exposed?"

"No, he doesn't have any relatives there anyway. All you need to know is that Tingen is a university city. You can say that it's been a long time since he forgot everything else."

Williams then continued

"You can use this identity to rent a place somewhere. You can say that you have moved from the poor environment of Parksland Street to improve your living conditions. Do you need me to recommend a place to you?"

"If it's possible, that would be great. Also, I heard some extraordinary legends on the way here. I'm very interested in them. I wonder if you have any information about them."

Tao Yu took out a few golden beans again. He was not afraid that this ordinary person in front of him would rob him.

But after hearing Tao Yu's words, Williams's face became a little tangled, and in the end he turned down Tao Yu's new reward.
"I'm sorry, I don't know much about this. Ordinary people are prone to bad luck if they get involved in this kind of thing. I can only remind you that if you are an ordinary person, it's best not to ask too much..."

Tao Yu could feel that the other party knew something or other, but he was probably worried about something so he didn't make any money.

Maybe it has something to do with the dwarf, but he seems to have some basic moral principles and did not directly sell out the other person for money.

Tao Yu nodded and didn't ask any further questions.

I left my scent on the dwarf before, I should be able to find him later...
