Chapter 1195: Chapter 852: Intelligence Gap from Different Perspectives_4

Actually, counterfeiting money and such is also a technical skill. In that bizarre independent world, if you want to forge something, the cost and difficulty might be higher than the gains.

The flow of certain raw materials might also risk exposure.

This is essentially a dimensional attack leveraging the wealth of experience here in the State Capital.

“That’s about it, Mr. Newman, let’s head back.”

After Tao Yu packed everything up, he nodded to the Star Killer beside him.

“I follow Mr. Tao’s arrangements completely.”

The Star Killer fully embodies the attitude of a Guest Elder, uninvolved, purely here for mutual support to avoid trouble.

“Welcome back next time, Mr. Tao. If you need anything, you can contact me directly. This is the code for my Communicator.”

The golden deacon of the Wanhuo Chamber of Commerce also handed over a business card, smiling warmly. Previously, at that small auction, Mr. Tao was considered a major customer.

Things he brought out could indeed be auctioned.

“Good to hear. If you happen to come across any rare unique skills, please keep an eye out for me. I value skills heavily.”

Tao Yu nodded to the golden deacon. The Wanhuo Chamber of Commerce offers far more channels than the Suns or the Saintly Position Influence from Extreme Ice City. Skills that rarely circulate outside might be obtained by them.

Even if there aren’t many skills that can genuinely enhance me now, I might stumble upon something like [Hollowification].

Moreover, there is talent compensation in the computation power aspect. Tao Yu feels it’s almost unlimited; he’ll take as many similar skills as he can get.

The golden deacon won’t ask much about handling skill pollution; perhaps Tao Yu has a fortunate encounter that provides a solution, or he needs to reference numerous skills for self-improvement.

Reaching this level of power, possibilities greatly expand. After all, he’s a genius from three years of disaster, a disciple of a Saint!

“Rest assured, I will reserve relevant skills for Mr. Tao first.”

“Much appreciated.”

After exchanging pleasantries, Tao Yu turned to leave with the Star Killer. Upon exiting the printing workshop of the Wanhuo Chamber of Commerce, the hidden Xuan Gui gradually followed from the void.

“Earlier, I noticed several groups of unusual personnel in the area conducting reconnaissance, and even spotted a lurking catastrophe level.”

Xuan Gui’s hidden abilities are recognized by Tao Yu. Initially, during a feigned attack, Xuan Gui quickly reached Tao Yu’s side, ranking top-tier in terms of lurking abilities at the catastrophe level.

Accordingly, his detection ability is also extremely strong, a standard assassin archetype.

“If they are merely collecting intelligence, it’s normal for someone to observe. After all, Starshine has just undergone massive changes, with key figures present. But it’s different when catastrophe level individuals come to detect; it means they’ve taken the bait, be cautious.”

The Star Killer gravely nodded in agreement. Although they aimed to lure out snakes from hiding, they preferred not to face failure.

The most critical point is to have no issues when the opponent makes their first move.

But as long as it’s a setup against catastrophe level entities, there’s generally little need for excessive worry.

Saints are constrained by the World Will of the current world, not acting recklessly…

“We of the Assassin’s League fear not trouble; if it’s us, we openly admit it, but some things are burdens we cannot bear!”

The Assassin’s League might as well be scapegoats; many issues are pinned on them, even catastrophe level deaths–they’re not afraid to shoulder these!

But this time, it’s a bit overwhelming…

…

Inside a dark underground palace in the State Capital, torches suddenly blazed, illuminating a massive round table at the center. Gradually, shadows emerged from positions at the round table, their forms blurred and indistinguishable.

“Sword Lord sent over news, telling us to probe what’s really happening. Did the Ming River do something?”

“Hei Ling is dead. With her lurking skills, Saints shouldn’t have detected her; Ming River has some methods and might be marked by the Sword Lord.”

“This Ming River is very peculiar. Initially, the Flame of Civilization sensed something, yet there was never news of this person before. It might be an impersonation, possibly targeting us.”

“No problem. It’s now confirmed that Tao Yu himself came, consistent with his past actions; we can try something.”

“In case Ming River is lurking, even the backlash from the World Will is difficult to withstand.”

“Hehe, even the Starry Sky Ball remnants from the Xing Family are worth testing.”

“Even if Ming River is here, are we afraid of him?”

“Hmph, even if the other side is fishing for a probe, we can drag the person directly into the water!”

“Set up perimeter exploration first.”

…

Continuously sitting cross-legged within the gray mist void, Tao Yu himself tapped his fingers on the knuckles, then suddenly bent them slightly and halted. He then slowly opened his eyes.

“It’s here…”

The clearly intense divination disturbances still allowed Tao Yu to rapidly capture it.

“Previously, I truly had no way to distinguish…”

To interpret the desired information from a chaotic flood requires extremely high computational power.

The vicinity of the State Capital was originally flooded with various divination interferences and the gray mist’s own intervention, along with the Star Killer’s simultaneous interferences, altogether chaotic.

However, Tao Yu sensed the sudden, significant influx of new chaos.

An incoming sufficient force has been confirmed, allowing him to gradually organize, modulate, compute, and derive intelligence from the second-level feedback!

“Finally appeared.”

Tao Yu also revealed a slight smile; the Assassin’s League is indeed making use of waste materials. It’s just unknown how strong they are, whether they’ve considered the Ming River factor…
