Chapter 107: 098 Idea 4

Provincial Capital, outskirts of Nanzhou.

Bright red blood slowly merged with the river, spreading out like blooming Manjusaka flowers.

Xue Weimin was propped up on one arm, his broken sword supporting him as he knelt beside the river, blood continuously spurting from his chest, unstoppably flowing out in a constant stream.

“You… won.”

His gaze fixed on the ash-gray White Skeleton on the opposite bank of the river.

“Last time, I won…. This time, it’s your turn…”

“Senior brother, for so many years, you’ve still been using that original weapon module. How long has it been since you updated your Sword Array Mode? How long since you’ve replaced your Feiyi Energy?”

The White Skeleton held its own Qiong Qi Feiyi in one hand, its body engulfed in pale ash-colored flames.

“Times are changing, technology is evolving. White Star and all other countries are developing, yet only Yi Country stubbornly seals itself away, refusing new things, rejecting evolution. Even the latest alloy formulas are the same ones from over a decade ago.”

Gently, the White Skeleton picked up its severed right hand from the ground and attached it back onto the wrist.

After a burst of fine sparks, the hand astonishingly reattached to the wrist, with the internal tubing and circuits reconnecting and repairing themselves.

In just a few seconds, it had nearly regained full functionality.

“Senior brother, we are Mecha Engineers. The stronger our Feiyi, the stronger we are. The stronger the alloy and the force field, the safer we are.”

He looked at Xue Weimin, who was gradually losing breath, as the Feiyi in his hand automatically melted, returning to the form of a silver briefcase.

Turning around, he no longer lingered, hurriedly stepping into the chaotic night forest, vanishing from sight.

Before long, a white aircraft, bearing the seal of the Safety Commission on its side, flew overhead.

The aircraft landed.

Ding Zaocheng and Zheng Wanru quickly alighted, their first sight being Xue Weimin, who had collapsed to the ground.

“Teacher!!”

Their complexions turned white in an instant as they rushed over to him.

In the early hours of the morning, the sky was just beginning to lighten.

Li Chengyi walked slowly out of the dense forest, his golden armor splattered with disordered specks of blood.

The game had ended.

The cultivation of Evil Thoughts was also complete.

The second evolution of the Wisteria Flowers was finally thoroughly complete.

And he hadn’t killed everyone; sustainable development was not just talk but a real intention.

Thus, Li Chengyi did what he deemed most appropriate, letting people go.

Yes, the kind that made people think they had found the chance to escape on their own.

Standing in the woods, he watched from afar as several individuals staggered toward an SUV on the mountain road.

They supported each other, leaving a trail of blood with every step, their bodies emitting a sense of comfort as if reborn from fire.

Of the people before, only these four remained.

In the time to come, they would live in awe and fear of him. Whenever he needed to, he could show up and harvest a wave of fear and Evil Thoughts.

Four packages of Evil Thoughts, enough to last him a long time.

‘Pity… only after complete harvesting can Evil Thoughts be retained. Four people, only four uses….’

However, upon further thought, Li Chengyi felt at ease again.

‘Fortunately in this world, there are endless bad people. Evil Flower… the meaning of this name comes from here…’ He finally understood.

At this moment, after the Wisteria Evil Flower branding had reached completion and lay silent for a while, it reacted once more.

‘Wisteria Floral Dress: Third Evolution 0%, Evil Thoughts 0%.’

Seeing the Floral Dress jump to the third count, Li Chengyi’s mouth under the helmet couldn’t help but curl up.

‘I have finally finished the most important step.’

He turned and took large strides into the dense forest.

Before long, his Gladiolus Armor swiftly dissolved, Gladiolus Petals swirling around him, quickly transforming into purple Wisteria Petals.

The petals reformed into a new Floral Dress.

Li Chengyi touched the scale armor on his arm.

‘No difference from before, it seems that the key lies in the daily state.’

He thought about it and dispersed most of the scale armor from his body, leaving only his face covered.

As the Floral Dress dissipated, beneath it was his flesh and blood form, clad in a short-sleeved shirt and pants.

Thump.

Li Chengyi punched casually at the tree trunk beside him.

Even without the augmentation of the Floral Dress, his strength was already far beyond that of a normal person.

An impact force of nearly a ton depressed the bark and the tree trunk instantly.

Li Chengyi looked at his fist, which showed not even a scratch. When he had thrown the punch, he could clearly feel as if protected by the Floral Dress.

No damage from the reactionary force or friction.

‘Success!’

A smile of happiness spread across his face. Since being trapped in the Blind Spot, he had not felt such pure emotion for a very long time.

Even ordinary daily clothing could hide it; this obviously supernatural power greatly increased his sense of security at that moment.

‘Next, I’ll find a channel to liquidate the gold bars and then spend money on flowers!’

With his next objective determined, Li Chengyi sprinted swiftly into the depths of the forest.

Once he had enough money, with his Feiyi and gold bars in hand, it would be time to return.

It wasn’t long before Li Chengyi flagged down an old, nondescript car passing by the area. He paid a few hundred bucks to hitch a ride, quickly returning to the Suiyang Suburbs.

Next came a change of attire, cleaning up any traces on himself, hailing a taxi, and sending messages to his boss and Song Ran on his way to the company.

“I’ve successfully made it out of the Silent Store!” — Cheng Yi.

Inside the company, he’d always been using the fake name he initially got used to. Later he couldn’t be bothered to change it, and just used it as his online handle.

“….Awesome!” — Sima Gui.

This guy popped up out of nowhere and posted an exclamation mark.

“How are you feeling? Are you hurt?” — Boss.

“I’m alright, got lucky this time. I was pretty well-prepared, went straight in and did just like last time, bought some stuff and hid right away. Fortunately, two newbies went in too, drew some fire away from me, bought me enough time to make it!” — Cheng Yi.

At the end, he added a symbol of relief.

“Where’s the stuff? What did you bring out this time?” — Song Ran.

“It’s with me, I’m almost at the company. It was really dicey this time, those two tried to trick me…”

Li Chengyi began to detail how he nearly got conned by the pair and how he cunningly outwitted them, finally securing the goods and escaping the blind spot.

“By the way, my friend came into a large amount of gold bars. Could you help to dispose of them, boss?” — Cheng Yi.

Far away in another city, Xindela’s eyelids twitched.

What does ‘came into a large amount of gold bars’ mean? Since when were gold bars so easy to come by? Was this guy not even bothering to cover his tracks now?

“Drop the bars off at the company, I’ll sort it out for you, but with no legal source, you’ll probably lose thirty percent. Can you handle that?” — Boss.

“No problem! My friend said he’d give you twenty percent for your troubles!” — Cheng Yi.

Li Chengyi was quite generous. After all, the money came easily to him, and he wasn’t the least bit heartbroken.

You could always skin a bit more off the top later.

“Keep it for yourself, I’m not short of money.” Xindela paused for a moment, “But, something just happened in the provincial office. The head of the Provincial Security Bureau bravely sacrificed himself fighting terrorists, and the Union Chief also died in an accidental explosion. The higher-ups are furious. They might send a major crime investigation team down to deal with this.”

“Terrorists are really something, too audacious. In a law-abiding society like this, for such a disturbance to occur, it’s unimaginable.” — Cheng Yi.

“Just letting you know. Lay low for a while, don’t do anything rash. Also, you should really get over to the Dragon Whisker Sect.” — Boss.

“Got it! I’ve got some loose ends to tie up here, then I’ll head over right away!” — Cheng Yi.

Li Chengyi was well aware of how poor his close combat skills were. If it hadn’t been for that surprise attack that caught the Utopia expert off-guard, he might not have won.

From start to finish, he was being toyed with.

So he needed to improve his combat skills urgently. Even if he couldn’t become the best, he couldn’t afford to lag so far behind.

Also, I found a clue left by Lien. Interested?” — Boss.

“What clue?” — Cheng Yi.

“It seems… he really found a way to completely free himself from the blind spot…” — Boss.

Li Chengyi’s smile froze instantly on his face, and he became serious.

“I understand,” he replied swiftly.

He didn’t state when he’d come to help; he knew he wasn’t ready yet.

The Feilian in the Silent Store contained the Inferior Shadow Dragon Bloodline; that was something he had to acquire.

Then there was the Dragon Whisker Sect, which he must visit. Only after completing these would he begin the real investigation to find a way to completely free himself from the blind spot.

Honing a knife does not interfere with cutting wood, and since Lien has been missing for so long and the clues were still there, his own delay wouldn’t matter.

“Boss, remember to help my friend exchange those gold bars.” — Cheng Yi.

“Cheng Yi, are you low on cash? How about this, I’ll lend you some in advance?” — Sima Gui.

The source of this c𝓸ntent is freewebnøvel.coɱ.

“No need, thanks, Gui bro. I’m good for pocket change, just short on funds for later, Feiyi is too expensive. Using it once means maintenance is needed and costs add up.” — Cheng Yi.

Li Chengyi had just taken about a million in cash from those who were fattened by flowers.

It would be enough for some Sunflower, but not sufficient for later.

After exchanging pleasantries with Sima Gui, Li Chengyi closed the Feiyi app, opened up a shopping site. After comparing prices on several apps, he quickly haggled and placed an order for a bunch of mature Sunflowers.

Next would be to evolve the Sunflowers once, then activate the New Divine Flower Position, and absorb the Feilian as the new main flower.

Inferior Shadow Dragon Bloodline…

It started as inferior, but after evolution, it may not remain so…

He was looking forward to it.

Soon, the car arrived at the New Century Building.

The time was now past seven in the morning.

Outside the building, the crowd was bustling as usual, unaffected by the recent major incident, with people entering and leaving, shopping and spending.

The crowd chatted and laughed, in pairs and groups; couples, parents with children, the elderly, office workers, street vendors, hoverboard teams, and more.

Many took to morning strolls to exercise.

Li Chengyi quickly bought a new outfit at the mall, cutting up and disposing of his previous clothes at different locations.

Then he made a trip to the company, deposited the gold bars with Pencil Eyebrow, and also stored the jar and Feiyi, before finally heading home.

For the past several days, he had been under intense mental strain.

It was time to return home for some well-deserved rest.

Days passed.

A major crime investigation team arrived in the province, conducting a comprehensive investigation into the recent terrorist attack.

Meanwhile, Suiyang seemed untouched by the turmoil, remaining calm and serene.

Li Chengyi stayed at home for five days, sleeping in or going out to discover unfamiliar plants and flowers.

His parents got a raise at their jobs, which added more smiles to their faces each day.

His sister Li Chengjiu also found a job, leaving early and returning late, hardly ever seen.

Finally, the new variety of Sunflowers Li Chengyi ordered online was delivered to the botanical garden.

He was ready to absorb the essence of the flowers, complete the Evil Thoughts, and open the New Divine Flower Position.
