Chapter 231: 218 new discoveries 2_2

By the time the show had completely ended, the collection of Evil Thoughts had finally reached just over 100.

This method of accumulating little by little and building a mound from grains of sand was much faster than Li Chengyi had imagined.

"Cheers!"

After the show ended, in a nearby luxury restaurant.

Li Chengyi had reserved a large private room to treat all the staff to a meal.

"Thanks to everyone’s strong support for today’s first performance! To express my gratitude to everyone, today’s salaries are all doubled!"

Li Chengyi raised his drink to toast everyone.

Wow!

Instantly, there was a cheer from everyone present.

"Boss Li is so generous!!"

"Is Boss Li coming again tomorrow?"

"Tomorrow will continue, but we may change the method," Li Chengyi said with a smile. "Here, I also want to give special thanks to Magician Gao Yun. He has provided quite a bit of extra inspiration."

"Not at all, Boss Li is too kind. Actually, high-end stage layout and props can create horror effects more simply," Gao Yun said with a smile.

He was an expert Li Chengyi had specifically hired for this purpose.

Being a magician was just a hobby; his real skill lay in horror film production.

Which is to say, he was actually a horror film director.

"Many of Mr. Gao Yun’s suggestions have been duly noted by me, and I will soon set up a magic studio, inviting everyone to join and sign contracts. Those who are interested can discuss cooperation with my secretary, Xing Tong," Li Chengyi said with a smile.

He was in a very good mood right now.

After such a long time, he had finally found a truly stable way of absorbing Evil Thoughts.

In comparison, absorbing Flowers was not difficult now, the core difficulty lay in the Evil Thoughts.

So this path of Horror Magic could even be expanded to include horror performances, escape rooms, and even horror films.

Li Chengyi was eager to know if he could absorb fear created by himself as the protagonist if he made a movie.

If he could, then he could simply go to a cinema to watch the movie with the audience when it was released, allowing him to absorb the fear up close.

From Gao Yun, he got quite a few new inspirations and ideas.

These ideas were all legitimate methods. They were much cleverer than his previous approaches to stirring up trouble and wouldn’t bring major issues.

After the meal, only a small number of people approached Xing Tong to sign contracts and join the studio.

The rest found excuses to leave; obviously, they were not optimistic about this project.

They probably thought that Li Chengyi was just treating this as a hobby and it wouldn’t last long.

Li Chengyi didn’t mind.

He commissioned Gao Yun to help draft the script for the next performance and offered a high price of one million.

This surprised Gao Yun so much it stirred his emotions, and he patted his chest, ensuring he would absolutely complete the task.

After a satisfying meal and drinks, everyone dispersed.

Li Chengyi and Xing Tong got into the car heading back to Everpeace Garden.

The window rolled down, and the cool breeze blew in, sobering Xing Tong up quite a bit.

She turned to look at her boss.

"Boss, are you really going to take this seriously and keep it up?" she asked.

"Why not? I like this kind of performance. Isn’t it very gratifying to bring relief to everyone after the pressure?" Li Chengyi said with a smile.

"Then..." Xing Tong hesitated, "those golden petals you used before, where did they come from?"

"They were just an electronic projection effect, not real," Li Chengyi replied.

"But on two occasions, you were clearly on the right side of the venue, how did you suddenly get to the left?" Xing Tong couldn’t help but ask further.

"That’s magic; it loses its sense of mystery if it’s explained," Li Chengyi said with a smile.

Xing Tong fell silent.

Looking at her boss inside the car, Li Chengyi, she suddenly felt an inexplicable sense.

The man before her eyes was so close, yet he gave the feeling of being very distant.

Mysterious.

Dangerous.

Strong.

Neurotic.

A burly, neurotic boss with a fondness for beautiful flowers, who also practiced a strong combat technique, was a part-time magician who enjoyed creating terror and panic, then laughed out loud amidst a crowd.

Such a contradictory entity sent a chill down Zhou Xingtong’s spine.

She didn’t know how Li Chengyi regarded her, but being too close to such a person made her feel involuntarily scared.

"Don’t be afraid," Li Chengyi said softly. "Blind Spot Individuals need to constantly face the pressure of death, so it’s normal to have various ways of venting. It’s quite normal to be a bit strange."

He whispered in comfort.

Zhou Xingtong’s pupils shrank, feeling a shiver as if she were completely seen through, inside and out.

She had just begun to feel fear in her heart when the person before her noticed it immediately.

Such sensitivity...

Meanwhile, Li Chengyi’s attention had already shifted to his Mark of the Evil Flower.

As he focused, a line of feedback surged from the mark into his mind.

’Evil Thoughts: 107% (Can be freely distributed among different Divine Flower Positions)’

This was all of his current Evil Thoughts, just one night, and the evolution of the main flower’s Evil Thoughts was complete!

The potential of such a method was clearly great.

’So, which Divine Flower Position should I evolve first?’ After his moment of joy, Li Chengyi began to ponder.

Wisteria was balanced in all aspects but not outstanding in any.

Gladiolus offered a very strong boost in offense and defense, and its Flower Language Technique could cover many areas. It was used most frequently.

The Purple Floral Dress was weak in protection. Though balanced, its defense, physique, speed, and strength were all less than half that of Wisteria. Clearly, its main power was concentrated in the Flower Language Technique.

The other two flowers, Feilian’s Flower Qi was not fully accumulated, and Sunflower had reached its Ultimate Form and could not evolve, so Evil Thoughts were meaningless for it.

’Wisteria, Gladiolus, Purple Magnolia... Which to evolve first?’

In a flash, Li Chengyi’s mind conjured up the scene where his defenses were easily sliced open by the Flying Yi of the Eleventh Stream.

He made his decision immediately.

’Gladiolus it is!’

The offense and defense enhancement of Gladiolus were quite good, especially the Floral Firm, which had a very wide range of application. It would be greatly helpful in improving overall protection.

With a single thought,

a hundred points of Evil Thoughts swiftly flowed into the Gladiolus tile.

’Gladiolus Floral Dress: Secondary Evolution 100%, Evil Thoughts: 100.’

’Beginning evolution...’

Instantly, faint golden glows flickered from the Gladiolus tile within the Mark of the Evil Flower.

Seconds later, the glows faded away.

The secondary evolution of Gladiolus had completed a Fusion Form evolution that was stealthy.

There was not much improvement in strength.

But Li Chengyi didn’t mind, for now, he had found a stable way to absorb Evil Thoughts. If need be, he could manage to get more tomorrow or the day after.

The season of Flowers is still at the tail end for Gladiolus, and with the variety of Gladiolus species abundant, he could continue to draw from Luo An.

But soon, a new piece of information entered Li Chengyi’s mind.

’Evolution complete.’

’Due to the primary subject of the evolution being Evil Thoughts, the majority focus on a single type.

The Floral Dress undergoes an Evil Thoughts mutation—after wearing the Floral Dress, one can summon a Secret Sword with a randomly directed fear. (Warning: The summoning ritual is completely random, and strong Secret Swords with significant side effects may appear; please use caution)’

Looking at a series of evolutionary benefits.

Li Chengyi’s previously stable emotions widened his eyes this time.

’Single-type Evil Thoughts evolution has such an effect!?’
