Abyss Sequence

Chapter 7: Investment Plan


On the eleventh day after the magic tide, when the outside world was watching the excitement and showing great interest in Yan Luo, he rode into the Abyss on his new motorcycle.

He didn't change his exoskeleton but wore the old [Universal III] into the Abyss.

For Yan Luo now, the exoskeleton somewhat hinders his training plan.

Under the protection of the exoskeleton, Yan Luo's physical resistance growth rate was far below the rate of strength growth.

Although his skin and muscles became denser and their strength increased significantly with the growth of his physical functions, they still couldn't resist the blade of an ordinary kitchen knife.

For an Engraver of the [Vajra] series, at his level of strength, just activating the engraving would allow the skin alone to withstand melee weapon attacks.

Yan Luo now felt pitifully weak and needed to continue to train and grow.

And the best way to train bodily resistance was close combat with demons.

So this time, Yan Luo didn't bother to carry any long-range weapons and only brought melee weapons into the Abyss.

Nowadays, the Abyss can be considered very "safe," with no City-breaking Level demons, and even deadly-level demons are sparse; harmless and ordinary-level demons are continuously spawning.

The magic tide is equivalent to the Abyss having a "pressure relief," occurring when the number of demons in the Abyss reaches a certain level.

Strangely, the magic tides in all the Abysses happen synchronously, preventing hunters from supporting other exploration towns to help fight the magic tide.

The Abyss indeed became much quieter, with Yan Luo entering and looking around. After driving for a few minutes, he didn't find any trace of dangerous-level demons but found plenty of harmless and ordinary-level demons.

Yan Luo didn't have magic power within him, so he didn't spare any harmless or ordinary-level demons he found, capturing and consuming them as a small gain.

After more than ten minutes, Yan Luo finally spotted the traces of the first dangerous-level demon, parked his motorcycle near it, and approached on foot.

Yan Luo didn't draw his weapon and went to hunt the dangerous-level demon wearing only an exoskeleton.

However, for him now, the dangerous-level demons were too weak, only slightly stronger than an adult Siberian tiger on average, so Yan Luo easily knocked it unconscious without the slightest effort.

While eating the demon's flesh and blood, Yan Luo pondered that he should search for a deadly-level demon for battles next and could directly hunt dangerous-level ones.

There was no training effect from fighting dangerous-level demons.

At this time, few hunters enter the Abyss, so even when heading to the Bone-Eroding Plain, Yan Luo didn't worry about being discovered by other hunters eating demonic flesh and blood.

Thinking of this, Yan Luo didn't linger and drove toward the Bone-Eroding Plain.

After driving for over ten hours, with intermittent stops, he finally reached the realm of the Bone-Eroding Plain.

In the Bone-Eroding Plain, many demons are born at the dangerous level and grow to the deadly level in just a few days, after which deadly-level demons mutually slaughter, creating City-breaking Level demons as quickly as possible.

By that time, it's about when hunter squads belonging to battle groups enter the scene.

Like Li Xinyue, she should be entering the Abyss around this time.

Yan Luo drove around the Bone-Eroding Plain, searching everywhere for traces of deadly-level demons.

With less pressure to repay debts, Yan Luo no longer needed to pressure himself and simply skipped over when he encountered the tracks of dangerous-level demons that didn't interest him.

However, if a dangerous-level demon unwelcomely appeared before him, he would directly defeat it, drinking its blood and eating its flesh.

Yan Luo now no longer resisted eating raw demon flesh and had gotten used to it, even ranking the taste of demon flesh.

Most demons' flesh is not tasty, having a strong stench, while insect-type demons are relatively tasty, but such beings rarely grow to deadly levels, topping out as mere snacks.

This time entering the Abyss, Yan Luo brought twelve days' worth of food supplies. Barring any incidents, he planned to stay the full twelve days, trying to digest the magic power as much as possible, then leave the Abyss after his body was filled with magic, thus maximizing efficiency.

After this hunt in the Abyss, he might consider taking some endorsement jobs. With the earnings from endorsing for the Bao Han Company earlier, he could think about investing in basic sciences.

Yan Luo used the money obtained from his hunts for loans, saving the money from endorsements for investing in basic sciences.

After this hunt in the Abyss, he should receive a salary of between two and five million from endorsement companies. While certainly not enough to invest in basic sciences, it could serve as a trial.

......

Yan Luo, in the Abyss with nothing else to do, had planned his subsequent actions, while Jin Miaomiao, to whom he entrusted many tasks, was overwhelmed.

As Yan Luo's assistant, Jin Miaomiao had to help pick suitable companies for endorsements.

Many companies were flocking to Jin Miaomiao, hoping to collaborate with Yan Luo due to his fame.

She was almost driven neurotic by all these companies.

Manufacturers of hunter equipment were one thing, but what were those making adult products hoping to achieve by sending partnership offers?

Even more troubling was the number of rich people and celebrities, openly and covertly, sending her messages, hoping to spend a romantic evening with Yan Luo.

Jin Miaomiao turned them all down, releasing the word that Yan Luo wouldn't engage in peddling such allure.

Even so, many persisted day and night in messaging Jin Miaomiao.

Having been at work for only a few days, she already had the thought of quitting more than once, though this thought was quickly suppressed.

Being Yan Luo's assistant, although troublesome, the pay was substantial!

Few of Jin Miaomiao's college classmates found such well-compensated work right after graduation; those who did often had underlying connections, while Jin Miaomiao had nothing and earned her wealth through her own efforts.

Many in her class group chat envied her for this job!

Jin Miaomiao worked twelve hours a day and sometimes was too busy even to eat, but after days of hard work, she finally shortlisted a few companies that should suit Yan Luo.

Yan Luo didn't lack money, so he instructed Jin Miaomiao when choosing collaboration companies, not to focus solely on those offering the highest prices; everything had to align with his ideas.

For example, if he disliked the wealthy from Celestial City, then companies with Celestial City backgrounds would be removed from the collaboration list.

Many companies interested in collaborating with Yan Luo did have Celestial City backgrounds and offered generally high prices, so even though Jin Miaomiao was tempted, she could only tearfully refuse them.

For every endorsement deal closed, Yan Luo would pay her a bonus, regardless of the price offered by the other party; her bonus remained fixed, negating the need to favor higher-paying companies for the bonus.

After handling these tasks, Jin Miaomiao could then take a break herself.

Since Yan Luo was off hunting in the Abyss and would take days to return.

It was at this moment that Jin Miaomiao grew to love this job.

Though there was a lot to handle in a short time, once it was done, the remaining time was her own, and Yan Luo usually trained at home, rarely needing her.

She didn't need to be like some of her classmates, treated like a servant by celebrities and wealthy folks, called at a moment's notice; this job was too rewarding.

With the job just started and her first month's pay not yet received, Jin Miaomiao didn't have money to splurge and could only stay home and find things to do.

At this moment, she suddenly discovered a message quietly lying in her direct messages from the person she particularly followed.

The only person Jin Miaomiao particularly followed was Yan Luo; it was a message from her boss.

Looking at the date, it seemed to have been sent before Yan Luo entered the Abyss.

Jin Miaomiao glanced over it, her expression quickly turning bemused.

Her boss wanted her to find some scientists researching basic sciences; he intended to invest in them.

Not buddy, you really don't cherish your money at all?

Just earned so much, and you plan to spend it all?

Despite her misgivings, Jin Miaomiao could only do as Yan Luo wished.

No choice since she was merely his employee.
