Chapter 204: 192 wool 4

".....???"

Zheng Kai hadn’t even realized what happened before he saw the car accelerating and driving off rapidly into the distance.

It was only when the vehicle had completely disappeared from sight

that Zheng Kai came to and exchanged a bewildered look with Kong Sichen, who was just as confused beside him.

"Such a freaking lunatic!"

He cursed through clenched teeth.

"No wonder people say not to mess with Blind Spot Individuals..." Kong Sichen was at a loss for words, "What the hell was he after??"

The anger sparked by Li Chengyi’s mocking had already turned into bafflement, leaving them speechless.

"Snap out of it, take everyone back and keep an eye on them!" Zheng Kai commanded his men to start moving.

His heart felt as if he had swallowed a fly, truly disgusted.

Rushing over after hearing the news, abandoning business deals, and all for what? A joke??

The crazier the person, the happier they are.

He finally understood the meaning of that saying.

Thinking back to how he had even considered provoking the thug from Mingyuan Company, he now felt completely powerless.

Zzzt.

Mingyuan Company building.

The car stopped, and the doors opened automatically.

Li Chengyi and a speechless Zheng Qingrong got out of the car.

The former was all smiles, while the latter, although only tagging along for the ride, was actually pretty thrilled as well.

"Let’s go up first. Brother Cheng will come to see you shortly," Li Chengyi arranged.

"Okay. But, what was the point of what you did just now?" Zheng Qingrong didn’t understand.

"No point," Li Chengyi replied, "It was fun."

"..." Zheng Qingrong was utterly expressionless, completely unable to comprehend the other’s thought process.

Li Chengyi didn’t need her to understand. He was feeling the fully matured Feilian Floral Dress within the Mark of the Evil Flower.

With every evolution completed, the Floral Dress and Flower Language Technique would both gain certain enhancements.

While not a significant boost, it could still further elevate his overall strength.

And the Flower Language Technique of Feilian was, after all, different from the rest.

He had yet to experience how this passive bloodline-based Flower Language Technique would enhance.

Back at the company, after settling Zheng Qingrong and having worn the Wisteria Floral Dress to meet her and reassure her to stay and become an employee,

that matter was temporarily resolved.

Having a resolute and strong individual like Zheng Qingrong stored within the company made her a perfect candidate for a future repository of Evil Thoughts.

After dealing with the miscellaneous affairs, Li Chengyi drove alone to the outskirts, looking for a remote and wild forest area.

He was eager to experience the evolved bloodline Flower Language Technique.

It was the same forest location as before.

In the midst of the crunching sounds of being crushed leaves,

Li Chengyi, adorned in a purple Floral Dress, stood silently at the center of the forest clearing.

The ground still bore the marks of his previous test.

Setting up a jammer, he placed it on a branch nearby to prevent any potential stealthy recordings.

Taking a deep breath,

he focused on the Mark of the Evil Flower, on the empty slot of the Feilian Floral Dress.

Hiss.

A myriad of slender purple-red petals rose into the air, swirling and appearing around him.

An abundance of Feilian petals enveloped Li Chengyi completely.

A second later.

The petals scattered.

Armor with a massive heavy-set of jet-black metallic wings emerged on his back, now worn by him.

The new armor had an extra pair of sharp metallic wings composed of blades on the back compared to the previous Feilian Floral Dress.

A ferocious white dragon skull adorned the chest, protecting the entire torso as a breastplate.

On top of the helmet, instead of the previous crocodile head, there were now three spiraling black horns.

Fully armored, Li Chengyi’s height had increased to two and a half meters.

It was, by far, the most bulky suit among all the Floral Dresses.

Whew.

Li Chengyi exhaled sharply.

A stream of black vapor with sparks billowed forth,

immediately scorching the ground beneath him to a crisp black.

’Next... it’s time for the Flower Language Technique.’

With a sense of peculiar anticipation, he willed his thoughts into motion.

’Flower Language Technique: Inferior Shadow Dragon Bloodline!’

The moment he activated the Flower Language Technique,

behind Li Chengyi, a vast expanse of dark smoke materialized silently in mid-air.

Within the smoke, a gigantic golden pupil, easily half his size, abruptly opened.

The golden pupil calmly fixed its gaze on Li Chengyi, as if an inexplicable power had descended upon him, beginning to transform his body’s bloodline.

Whoosh!

A grayish-black translucent dragon with two horns emerged naturally beside Li Chengyi in the air.

The dragon’s body was covered in backward-pointing dark scales, with spiral horns atop its head, and ears like bat wings that folded and unfolded rhythmically.

At least six meters in length, the serpentine dragon coiled its entire body around the center of Li Chengyi.

Ao.

A roar resounded from the black dragon’s maw, sounding like a fusion of a lion’s and a bull’s bellow.

It accelerated, and its head abruptly plunged into Li Chengyi’s Floral Dress at his chest.

In less than two seconds, the entire dragon had completely vanished into his chest.

Soon, the black smoke dissipated, and so did the golden vertical pupils.

Everything returned to its original calm.

Li Chengyi stood in place. The Floral Dress quickly unfolded and dissipated into petals, vanishing.

He lifted his head, his chest swelling high.

Suddenly, he opened his mouth.

Boom!!

A dark red pillar of fire sprayed skyward from his mouth, stretching over ten meters before it slowly dispersed and extinguished.

"I... can feel it, a new power... a stronger power surging inside me..."

Li Chengyi’s eyes took on a conspicuous dark gold hue.

He looked at the Mark of the Evil Flower on the back of his hand.

The feedback displayed by the Flower Language Technique had undergone subtle changes.

’Flower Language: Inferior Shadow Dragon Bloodline (Bloodline optimizing... Next stage: Weak Shadow Dragon Bloodline)’

’Feilian Floral Dress evolution count — 5 times (1 usage expended)’

"It’s done."

Li Chengyi’s mouth cracked into a grin, revealing his sharp, ghostly white teeth.

Next, it was time to choose the new Divine Flower Position’s main flower.

Would it be the palace pink or the Purple Magnolia?

Several days later.

Mingyuan Company headquarters.

Rainbow Candy, Xiao Zhong, Da Xiong, Dragon Gate Crane, along with Li Chengyi, everyone was present.

In the early morning hours, as the sunrise began, flying machines were already at work outside the window, marking the beginning of the day’s cargo flow for the entire city.

"Since the advertisement was released, the company has completed fifteen orders to date, all from Blind Spot Individuals in Suiyang and nearby cities purchasing our services.

The highest-selling items are still the various detailed consultations about Blind Spots and potential coping methods."

Xiao Zhong gave a brief report on the situation.

"The total revenue is fourteen million six hundred ninety thousand, of which seventy percent is from consultation income, twenty percent from equipment income, and ten percent from training income. After deducting operating costs and salaries, the net profit is one million two hundred seventy thousand."

"How long has it been? It’s not even a month yet, and we already have a profit of over a million... Tsk tsk, it seems this business has great prospects," Rainbow Candy said lazily, her feet propped up on the table.

"As long as it’s not a loss and can continue normally, that’s good enough," Li Chengyi said.

"Through business expansion, our main goal is still to collect Blind Spot files and recruit talented individuals from the Blind Spot Individuals to help our common cause," he added.

"With the business running smoothly and everything going well, we should continue with our previous plan," said Da Xiong in a soft voice. "Brother Cheng, since making a wish with the Blue Book, the clues have stopped. Do you have any new progress on your end?"

"The Blue Book can’t be read; that’s what Mr. Xindela told me. So to leave a mark on it is not a simple task. And the first rumor regarding the Blue Book possibly escaping the Blind Spot came from Lien," Li Chengyi said.

"Lien is recognized as one of the few Blind Spot Individuals who came closest to escaping. His bones have yet to be found to this date. Even the container storing a sample of his genes has mysteriously lost its contents. Copies of his memory data have also vanished automatically." Li Chengyi hadn’t finished speaking when he was interrupted by Rainbow Candy raising her hand.

"The point is, if Lien hasn’t appeared again, who can confirm he was the closest to escaping the Blind Spot?" she asked.

"Because of the message," Li Chengyi replied, "the longest a Blind Spot Individual has lived was two years, and he had nearly reached this limit. And..."

"And what?" Everyone’s attention focused on him, waiting for Li Chengyi to continue.

"And Mr. Xindela once mentioned something to me," Li Chengyi said, looking around at everyone, his voice softening.

"He suspected that Lien, might not be dead."

"Impossible! No one can break the two-year curse of the Blind Spot!" Xiao Zhong shook her head.

"Mr. Xindela mentioned during a casual conversation with me that every time he investigated the Blind Spot and encountered danger, he felt as if a force was quietly helping him, aiding him in finding clues," Li Chengyi paused, then continued.

"He searched for this force, but found no clues. But to attribute it all to luck, that would make his luck far too great."

"Xindela must have a unique source of information," summarized Rainbow Candy. "So how do we find it? Follow Lien’s trail as he did?"

"That’s pointless. If Lien hasn’t appeared until now and assuming he’s still alive, he surely must have failed. This proves his path isn’t viable. We need to find a different way," Da Xiong said earnestly.

"If we can figure out how the Blind Spot takes people away from reality, maybe we can stop people from being pulled by the Blind Spot from the beginning and completely eradicate the phenomenon," Rainbow Candy proposed a new idea.

"That’s a possibility," Li Chengyi nodded. "Additionally, we could collect data by investigating the patterns of how the Blind Spot pulls people."

"That makes sense. We should also explore the methods of being locked on. How does the Blind Spot keep fixating on one person and repeatedly pull them in?" Dragon Gate Crane, who’d learned to think as well, gave his opinion.

Hum.

Suddenly, Li Chengyi’s phone rang.

For meetings like this, he’d already set his phone to Do Not Disturb.

Only a few most critical calls could come through at this time.

Immediately, he picked up the phone to look.

’Xindela’.

Li Chengyi’s heart lurched, and he quickly pressed the answer button.

"Boss! You’re finally awake!"

He stood up, ready to step outside to take the call.

Suddenly, a slightly weak voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Xiao Yi, I may not have much time left... I’m glad to hear you’ve formed your team and started pursuing a way to escape the Blind Spot," the voice said.

"So, if possible, can I join as well, to be a part of it?"

"Boss..." Li Chengyi was about to inquire about the details.

"As a reward for joining you, I can tell you a secret," Xindela continued.

"What secret?" Li Chengyi felt a foreboding, a vague premonition arising within him.

"The secret is..." Xindela paused.

"The Blind Spot actually had someone who escaped it once."
