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


    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 Gallbladder 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 Gallbladder 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 a complete 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 regular 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?"


    Unlike communication 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 internet. 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.


    In fact, many intelligence agencies also monitor a large 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 just completed a task. Did you just come back from the Abyss, Brother Tao?"


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


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


    "Busy today, will come again next time."


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


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


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


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


    "Not a problem, I’ve completed 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 place to sell them."


    Wang Goudan explained further.


    "If the price is within tens of thousands, it’s better to go to the underground market, no commission 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 glanced 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 related 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 implantations, 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 the commission 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...
