Chapter 263: 245 Condensation One

"So you’re saying that if we choose to fully merge and breakthrough, we’ll be forever tied to you, boss? That we can never be separated for the rest of our lives?" Rainbow Candy summarized.

"You can understand it that way."

"How much strength can we gain?"

"I don’t know."

"You don’t know?"

"Because... there are too many types of Flower Language Techniques, and you can choose a different Flower Language Technique from mine." Li Chengyi answered seriously.

"So, can we become very strong in a short period of time?" Rainbow Candy’s eyes gradually brightened.

"Yes."

"Then there’s nothing to discuss." Rainbow Candy had actually stopped believing the various tall tales the boss told.

That sort of eerie and overwhelming control ability she had witnessed earlier couldn’t be explained by technology.

The only explanation was that it originated from the Blind Spot.

They had just covered it with a layer of technological disguise.

Now, the boss was willing to share his power with them, allowing them to carve out a path to survival in the Blind Spot.

What else was there to say?

"I believe you!" Rainbow Candy looked intently into Li Chengyi’s eyes.

"Do you..." Li Chengyi didn’t avoid the other’s gaze. "I hope you won’t regret it."

"If I regret it, there’s nothing I can do. At least I have to live through another two years." Rainbow Candy laughed.

"You’re right. In that case, let me explain to you next how the Flower Language Technique is determined," Li Chengyi changed the subject, speaking solemnly.

"Flower Language Technique... it’s related to flowers, right?"

"You know?"

"Boss, you always talk about flowers, who in the team couldn’t tell?" Rainbow Candy snorted.

"You guessed correctly." Li Chengyi also laughed, "Each type of flower has its own unique Flower Language and Fantasia Floral Armor."

"Every type of flower has one? It really comes from flowers??" Rainbow Candy was shocked.

"Yes. You can try to contact flowers, look up different Flower Language Abilities, and choose the one you need, the Flower Language Ability you favor the most. Remember, you only have one chance." Li Chengyi cautioned.

"...This is... too damn fantastical!" Rainbow Candy said, her face full of shock.

After observing Li Chengyi multiple times to confirm that the boss was not joking with her, she was certain that choosing a Flower Language from the flowers was real.

"That’s how it is. You can try it here or you can go back and try it slowly later. I suggest you carefully choose your main Flower Language. It will determine the upper limit of your future development," Li Chengyi carefully cautioned.

"...I’ll go try it out first!" Rainbow Candy’s eyes lit up, and after quickly asking about how to trigger the inquiry for Flower Language, she turned around and ran off, sprinting towards the distance.

No need to think to know she was off to find flowers she could touch.

It was a pity that there weren’t many flowers blooming in the desert at this time of year.

Li Chengyi shook his head slightly and turned to head back to his quarters.

Soon, time passed, and the next morning arrived early.

Rainbow Candy and Dragon Gate Crane, the ’sisters,’ ran over to knock on his door early in the morning.

Thud thud thud!

Thud thud thud!

Click, the door opened.

"What’s the matter..." Li Chengyi was sleeping soundly, having studied the integration and use of the Flower Language Abilities late into the night, hoping to get some more rest to refresh his mind, but he didn’t expect that these two would come knocking on his door before seven o’clock.

"Boss..." Although Rainbow Candy had bags under her eyes, her gaze was frighteningly bright.

"It’s real!"

"What’s real?" Li Chengyi was at a loss for words.

"What you said, it’s all real!" Rainbow Candy took a step forward, her eyes seemingly sparkling with innumerable stars.

Flower Language, Fantasia Floral Armor— these were Divine Artifacts that could be used in the Blind Spot!

With these, their chances of survival would increase significantly!

This was nothing short of a revolutionary change for the Blind Spot Individuals!

"You’ve tried it?" Li Chengyi raised an eyebrow.

"Yes... But I haven’t decided yet! There are too few types here!" Rainbow Candy nodded, her face full of excitement.

"Don’t give away any secrets, figure it out on your own," Li Chengyi cautioned.

"Got it!"

Dragon Gate Crane stood confused on the side, not understanding what they were talking about.

After the two finished speaking, she quickly interjected.

"Alright, alright, Noel Group sent a message, they found clues to the Book of Record in the Black Road Oasis at the center of the desert. If we want to head to the Black Road Oasis, we have to pass through four checkpoints."

"We must break through each checkpoint to reach the final Black Road Oasis. So, now most of the other Blind Spot Teams have set off. Boss, Qiong An has sent me to ask, what should we do now?"

"Tsk! Does he think this is a game? Going through one checkpoint after another; won’t we just fly straight in?" Rainbow Candy said contemptuously.

"Noel’s people say that the center of the desert is the territory of the Silver Cup Sand Army, and flying in would get us blown up by missiles..." Dragon Gate Crane explained.

"Is Sutan this chaotic? What about the government forces? With such a huge group of Sand Thieves, aren’t they going to rout them!?" Rainbow Candy was shocked.

"This place is indeed messy, with many forces waging their own wars and occupying territories. The official government is almost like the biggest faction leader here. Unlike our Yi Country and White Star, where we have a unified situation," Li Chengyi said.

"So, what do we do now?" Rainbow Candy looked towards him.

"Come in to talk first."

Li Chengyi let the two in, then sat down, pouring a glass of water for each.

"Other teams have started setting off, with nearly twenty teams arriving here at Shalin Slope, along with many scattered Blind Spot Individuals. Boss, if we don’t get ready now, we’ll be too late!" Dragon Gate Crane saw that the boss was still in the mood to slowly drink water and became even more anxious.

"Don’t hurry." Li Chengyi smiled, "We will go, but not by rushing to the front in haste."

"I get it... Brother Yi, are you thinking of... being the mantis stalking the cicada?" Rainbow Candy realized.

"Not exactly, just to be safe, the Book of Record might be like the Blue Book, that can be used as soon as it’s taken, so we can’t maintain a long distance," Li Chengyi replied.

"What I meant to say is the situation around us."

"The situation around us?" Rainbow Candy pondered, "True, something’s not right. Last time the thug made such a big scene here, yet this time we came over, and the officials on this side haven’t made a move on us until now. Even if they don’t act, there should at least be some follow-up. But it’s been very quiet so far."

"What does that imply?" Li Chengyi asked.

"It implies that they’re probably not in a hurry," Rainbow Candy answered.

"Either they are preoccupied with other matters, or, the place we’re going to this time is very dangerous and they might be thinking of letting us exhaust our strength and capabilities before they make a move," Li Chengyi responded.

"That makes sense." Even the Dragon Gate Crane could comprehend that.

The two nodded to each other without prior agreement.

"So, what shall we do?"

"First, we need to find our clue," Li Chengyi explained, "It’s impossible for the clue from the Noel Group to fall into someone’s hands easily; looking at the situation, they just intend to exploit us Blind Spot Individuals. Therefore, we will first go to find Harns."

"Harns..." Rainbow Candy’s expression changed slightly, "I was too busy with that matter, I forgot to tell you, Boss, Harns’ location is in the Black Road Oasis in the center of the desert!"

"The destination given by the Noel Group is also there. It seems, it should not be a coincidence," Li Chengyi frowned.

"Could it be that our information has been leaked?" Rainbow Candy spoke in a low voice.

"Impossible, we’ll find out when the time comes," Li Chengyi said.

In the city of Belgastin.

One by one, luxurious stretch silver shining flying vehicles slowly descended in front of the city’s largest signal shielding tower—the Green Tower.

In the middle of the Green Tower, there was a unique and luxurious banquet hall, used exclusively for the city’s top tycoons and officials to entertain distinguished guests.

At this moment, Chairman Mistin of the Noel Group entered the door with a smile and took his seat.

Like him, there were five other figures.

Huang Zhiheng, the chairman of Zhicheng Capital.

Trine Dondis, the principal of Andelian Technology.

Mayor Cabey Westlink.

Deputy Mayor Midlan Xia.

And the last person, Major General Simon of the military.

Among the six people present, five were the highest power holders who controlled the entire Belgastin.

Their forces and manpower spread across the economy and officialdom, enough to form an immense alliance of interests throughout the entire city and many surrounding smaller cities.

And this time, attracting the Blind Spot Individuals to come and deplete the forces at the Black Road Oasis was a plan they had negotiated.

It was named: Oasis Operation.

When everyone was seated.

The lights gradually dimmed.

Suddenly, a huge floating hexahedron screen appeared in mid-air.

The screen clearly displayed that all teams from the Blind Spot at Shalin Slope were gradually embarking on the road to Black Road Oasis.

"There are a total of twenty Blind Spot Teams participating, and nearly a hundred loose individuals; these numbers are just enough for a modest scouting operation. I don’t think this bunch of mentally ill maniacs could deplete much of the strength of the Silver Cup Sand Thieves," Mayor Cabey, a petit-bearded redhead with a scholar-like demeanor, pinched the small mustache on his upper lip and frowned as he watched the screen.

"Don’t underestimate them, these people are almost all die-hard fighters. According to global psychological treatment statistics, most Blind Spot Individuals would prefer to die in reality, rather than out of the fear of dying in the Blind Spot. So if they really fight hard, they’re still very intimidating," Mistin said with a gentle smile.

"Mistin, did you really place the so-called secret treasure in the oasis?" Deputy Mayor Midlan, a glamorous mature blonde woman with blue eyes, looked over curiously.

"Of course it’s true, otherwise how could so many Blind Spot Individuals be drawn here?" Mistin smiled. "However, don’t worry, they will not get the final reward."

"Aren’t you worried that they will really break through the blockade of the Sand Thieves?" Huang Zhiheng of Zhicheng Capital scoffed.

"No problem, if the Sand Thieves fail to stop them, don’t we still have everyone present here?" Mistin replied. "When the time comes, just aim the cannon a little off, cover a slightly wider area with the missiles, and it will suffice to say they died under the weapons of the Sand Thieves."

"So you’re saying that from the beginning to the end, you never intended to fulfill your promise?" Huang Zhiheng raised an eyebrow.

"No, I’m a person who strictly follows promises and integrity," Mistin shook his head, "Precisely because I will certainly keep it... I won’t let them have the chance to make it happen."

"I heard that the thug might come this time?" Major General Simon, as the military representative, suddenly spoke up.

"Not sure, but three members of the Garden of Fate to which the thug belongs have come. They have quite the nerve," Mistin answered.

"To prevent them from escaping, I’ve decided to detain the three of them first," Simon said solemnly.

"Heh... General Simon is playing a clever game; the thug has a complete and brand-new exoskeleton system behind him, whose power can even match that of a fully transformed Reinforced Human. Who here doesn’t know that? By arresting those three, you can threaten the thug to get the complete technological system behind him. I believe that’s what everyone here wants to do," Huang Zhiheng once again ripped off the pretense.

Simon fell silent for a moment, looked around at everyone, and realized that everyone was tacitly aware and showed no surprise on their faces.

"I can take a step back, that Li Chengyi must be given to me."

"Yan Xincai is ours! I love these types of delicate and tender young girls..." Deputy Mayor Midlan said with a smile.

"I’ll take Ji Shenglong. Remember, when we get them, don’t rush to act; first, interrogate to get important information, compare it individually, confirm it’s correct, and then deal with them," Mistin reminded.

"We don’t need you to tell us that," Simon replied coldly.

Their Utopia had been ruined by Li Chengyi numerous times. If they couldn’t get their hands on the technological industry chain behind the thug this time, all their previous losses would have been for nothing.

"So, when do we act?" Mistin asked.

"Each of us will allocate a troop, and we’ll take concerted action," Simon said. "Use unregistered fully-transformed Reinforced Humans, act swiftly and decisively, avoid complications and leave no traces."

"Agreed."

"Agreed."

"Then, it’s settled," Simon declared solemnly.

Fully-transformed Reinforced Humans were extremely expensive for ordinary people, but they were nothing for these monopolists.

This time, by joining forces to dispatch a number in double digits at once, led by two powerful experts comparable to Zhou Yan of Utopia, they were absolutely certain to swiftly accomplish the task without fail.
