Chapter 1950: Chapter 1950

Nowadays, Du You has absorbed all the resources he had, but the two sisters and the two pets haven’t yet.

The two sisters and the two pets have just broken through to the peak of tier nine. Although they’ve reached the limit, they still need to absorb resources to stabilize their current strength. There’s no other choice, as they themselves cannot reach this level on their own.

They were forcibly elevated to this level by Du You, so it’s not easy for them to stabilize.

Du You’s pets have also been allocated some Origin, which they now need to absorb to enhance themselves. Du You hopes his Summoned Beasts can continue to improve, otherwise, they won’t be able to keep up with his power.

Previously, Du You was focused on improving himself and didn’t pay attention to these pets. Now things are different. If they can’t keep up, it would be a waste. Fortunately, these Summoned Beasts haven’t absorbed much, so their improvement is quick.

Du You believes that after this outing, the Summoned Beasts will reach the late stage of tier nine in their own strength.

Du You has allocated a significant amount of power to the Summoned Beasts. With their strength reaching the late stage of tier nine, combined with their own power and skill enhancements, while they may not be a match for the peak of tier nine, they can approach that level.

The absorption process is a bit slow, so Du You can only wait.

It’s because Du You distributed so much that he finds himself lacking resources to continue improving.

"It’s been a long time since we’ve gone out for a stroll. Let’s go shopping together." With nothing to do, Du You suddenly suggested to Xi Qianxue and the others. Upon hearing him, they immediately put everything aside. The source of this content ɪs 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵•𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮•𝓷𝓮𝓽

Even the workaholic Shaliya put aside her tasks.

Like ordinary people, they wandered the streets. Du You merely concealed his aura a bit, and he didn’t need any other means for those around him to fail to recognize him, as if he were just an ordinary person.

"I didn’t expect that after so many years, the outside world has changed so much."

"Of course, there aren’t many people going out shopping nowadays. Even if needed, people go to high-end auction houses instead. Oh, you might not know, but auction houses that used to specifically serve Professionals have all become high-end auction houses. They don’t even entertain Professionals below tier four. Ordinary Professionals are treated just like ordinary people."

"Really, is that how it is now? Then how do they buy things?"

"Online shopping, of course," Li Mengyao explained, rolling her eyes.

That’s when Du You realized that everyone had become Professionals who can use the Magic Network, and it has become completely widespread. This is far more convenient than the typical network.

Only very young children can’t use it, but their family members can.

The key thing Du You noticed was that along the streets, it was hard to spot people inside the shops. The shop owners don’t stay in the shops but instead go to other worlds to improve their strength.

Shops are watched over by their robots, Biochemical Men, or various control systems.

Due to a boom in technological items, everything is under surveillance, making theft virtually impossible. But at the same time, the old feeling of shopping has completely vanished, and those who enjoy shopping don’t venture out anymore.

It’s more enjoyable to browse within the Magic Network. If Du You enters the virtual world of the Magic Network, he would find it bustling. Various stalls and shops have items for Professionals.

Of course, these items are low-end. The equipment and items used by lower-tier Professionals have become so commonplace.

Items that were rarely purchasable before aren’t everywhere but are easily found now.

"If I had such an environment back then, my improvement might have been quicker and more convenient," Du You thought about the past, when he suffered greatly to obtain certain things.

If such an environment existed, allowing massive acquisition of necessary skills and items, Du You was sure his means would be far more diverse than now. While his strength might not increase further, since he had reached the limit.

If he started anew, in terms of strength enhancement, Du You might at best match his current level; doing better would be impossible.

"Hmph, weren’t you the one who wanted to go out? Now that we’re out, let’s enjoy the walk." Xi Qianxue said, holding Du You’s arm with a smile. Whether or not they were shopping didn’t matter; it was all about who they were with. Du You’s initiative to go out was already a delightful surprise for everyone.

Du You sensed his surroundings and realized that the place once exclusively open to Professionals now only entertained high-level Professionals.

These places are distinct from the Magic Network; the atmosphere is different. An auction was in progress, attended by Professionals, with the minimum being tier four. Some went up to tier six.

If it weren’t for the relatively low tier, perhaps tier seven Professionals would appear.

This is a world controlled by Du You, one of the only two cities on Earth under his control. It would be normal for experts to appear here.

Elisa, following the group, also showed some interest in this leisurely walk.

Yet whenever she looked at Du You, there was something different in her gaze.

Xi Qianxue and Li Mengyao exchanged subtle looks, their thoughts unknown.

Du You, unaware of this, as he strolled around, felt as if something inside him was being released. It was at this moment that Du You realized the urgency in his heart had built up so much.

The tension, suppression, dissatisfaction with his own power, and the relentless pursuit of strength had always weighed heavily on Du You’s heart.

Du You hadn’t noticed this until now, with the leisurely walk, Du You’s mood completely relaxed, and he could finally sense it. Who would have thought, even with his strength, such problems still existed?

Though it doesn’t affect him, it’s uncomfortable being oppressed like that. Now relieved, Du You felt at ease. Perhaps it won’t speed up his power growth, but it could keep him from being overly anxious.

Indeed, with this much power, what’s there to rush?

He can take his time gathering resources for improvement. The present Earth faces no external dangers. As long as he remains safe, Earth remains the absolute ruler of this part of the Void, a position unshaken by others.

Even the Abyss is merely aiding Earth in developing its Professionals.
