Standing in the field, Li Cheng颐 took a long breath.

He really wanted to try the new Flower Language ability immediately, but considering that any significant changes in his body might attract the attention of those around him.

He forcibly suppressed the urge to try it out.

'And, since I'm already here...might as well...'

He looked around. There were gladioli of various colors and varieties all around him.

He immediately stretched out his hands and began to absorb the evolution degree for the first evolution.

He had verified with the Wisteria that the first evolution required absorbing mutated flower Qi.

Standing in the flower field, he touched left and right, quickly covering the entire gladiolus flower field.

And the evolution degree also reached 43%.

Seeing that there was nothing left to touch, Li Cheng颐 finally stopped, satisfied.

"Why are you in the field? Get out quickly, no entry allowed!" A passing staff member saw him and shouted, pointing at him.

"I'll come out right away. I'm just taking a photo. These flowers are so beautiful," Li Cheng颐 quickly replied loudly.

"Just take pictures outside. No one is allowed inside. If everyone comes in and tramples on them, the flowers won't bloom." The man was about forty years old, balding, with a loud voice.

Li Cheng颐 quickly left the flower field. Anyway, he had collected enough evolution degree, and he had touched all the gladioli here. There was nothing to miss.

He walked onto the tourist path and apologized to the balding uncle a few times. Watching the other person harrumph and walk away, he couldn't help but let his gaze fall on the sunflower field opposite the gladioli.

'Sunflowers?' He hadn't touched those yet.

The sunflowers hadn't bloomed before, but now it was just the right time....

Li Cheng颐 looked left and right, and found that no one was paying attention to him. Moreover, there was a mother and daughter by the sunflower field, touching the sunflowers and whispering about something, which was perfect cover for him.

He coughed twice, took out his phone, adopted a pose as if he was about to take a picture, and slowly approached the sunflower field.

The leaves of the sunflowers were wide, and the flowers were round and large, with the central flower pistil slightly blackened, looking like a miniature version of the outer shell of a durian.

He moved closer, and only when his nose was very close did he smell a faint floral fragrance.

He reached out to touch it.

Immediately, a cool breath flowed into his finger and merged into the back of his Evil Flower hand.

'Sunflower: Also known as Zhang Ju, Chaoyang Flower, requires sufficient sunlight and moisture. Genus Helianthus of the Compositae family. An annual herbaceous plant. The seeds are edible and can be used to extract oil. The flowering period is July-August. Its flower disc has the effect of clearing heat and resolving phlegm, cooling blood and stopping bleeding, and also has a certain therapeutic effect on headaches and dizziness. The petals, when mashed and applied externally, can treat mastitis, carbuncles, boils, etc.'

'Flower Language: Crown of Radiance (After using the Flower Language, you will receive a crown that can release blazing sunlight. The crown will continuously release light, and its radiance has a certain therapeutic effect on minor ailments, and can also dispel cold and dark attributes to a certain extent)'

Hiss....

Li Cheng颐 was awe-struck. This Flower Language...was amazing. There was no time limit, and to a certain extent, its function already belonged to the supernatural realm.

He couldn't help but think of the mysterious white-clothed youth in the Gries parking lot.

It was certain that the white-clothed youth was Dongdi Jiaji'er, but why he had been in juvenile form and why he had been staying in Gries were all problems.

'Perhaps...Jiaji'er had already died in that dead corner, and only his body had left alive. Is that Jiaji'er's spirit?'

Li Cheng颐 guessed in his heart.

If he had had some doubts about whether there were spirits in this world before, then at this moment, the Sunflower's Flower Language clearly gave him a definite answer.

The answer was, very likely yes!

'Unfortunately, it's still not as practical as the gladiolus. Next time, I'll definitely choose you next time.' Li Cheng颐 touched the sunflower in front of him with a little reluctance, and decisively turned around and left.

He planned to go find other gladiolus variants.

Beep...

Suddenly, his phone rang. In order to better distinguish his phone from others', he simply adjusted the ringtone back to the basic old-fashioned ringtone.

There was no music, only a single tone.

Taking the phone closer, Li Cheng颐's expression slightly froze.

It was a call from his boss, Xindela.

Pressing to answer, he put the phone to his ear.

"Xiao 颐, Meng Dongdong, who went in with you the other day, her dad found someone to try to mess with you. I had Ding Ning take action to help you solve it. Ding Ning mentioned this to you, right?" Xindela started by showing off his credit, stating the logic.

"Um...he did, boss. Is there something you need? Just say it directly." Li Cheng颐 naturally understood such obvious hints.

"That's good. Xiao 颐, you are indeed a person who values ​​loyalty and relationships." Xindela's tone was full of smiles. "I need manpower to help me. Don't you want a set of basic Flying Instruments? You come and help me investigate, and after it's done, I'll give you a set of basic models. Let's make it clear in advance, only civilian models."

"Really!?" Li Cheng颐's voice instantly rose. This was no small amount. Flying Instruments cost tens of millions each. If he had to save up the money himself, he didn't know how long it would take.

So he had been waiting for his boss to speak. After Xindela learned that he was interested in Flying Instruments, he didn't object, but instead specially invited Ding Ning. His attitude was already very clear.

"Of course," Xindela said with a smile, "Your successful escape from the last incident has verified your comprehensive qualities. This time, if you can prove yourself to the company again from the outside world, the company will naturally increase its investment in you."

"Understood, then thank you, boss!" Li Cheng颐's heart was uplifted. Although Flying Instruments had this and that problem, the main point was that they were powerful!

Ding Ning had mentioned to him while drinking that a strong Zhimieshi (roughly translated as 'Mech Master' or 'Technician Pilot') could even remotely cross thousands of kilometers, using satellite positioning for surgical-style precise decapitation.

It was precisely because of the exaggerated lethality of the Flying Instruments that various countries had very strict control over them.

And in this world, only two countries could independently manufacture Flying Instruments, one was Yi Country, and the other was Bai Xing (White Star).

The remaining small countries could only produce some parts, and only standard basic model parts at that.

They couldn't compare to Yi Country and Bai Xing, which also had their own exclusive models.

"Come to the company. I'll let you meet another company signatory," Xindela said at the end before hanging up the phone.

Li Cheng颐 was slightly excited and quickly walked towards the exit of the botanical garden.

Flying Instruments might be glass cannons to others: high attack, weak defense, and expensive.

But if it were him, using the Flower Scale Armor to fuse with the external force field, the superimposed strength of the two might be able to directly chase a Perfected Modifier.

At that time, when fighting against someone, after the other person painstakingly broke through the Flying Instrument's offensive and charged close, thinking that they would definitely win, suddenly the Flower Scale Armor was put on.

Facing the powerful defensive power comparable to a Perfected Modifier... I'm afraid anyone would instantly fall from heaven to hell, and feel despair.

And he could completely take advantage of the moment when the other party lost their mind, suddenly counterattack, and easily solve the opponent.

After leaving the botanical garden, he took a taxi directly to the New Century Building.

In the taxi, the driver was a young female driver, who kept playing the entertainment radio station.

She even hummed along with the music from time to time.

"Master, can you change to a news channel or something?" Li Cheng颐 listened for a while and couldn't stand her out-of-tune humming, so he asked.

"Sure," the female driver was very talkative and tuned to a daily news station.

One short message after another was quickly broadcast in the form of a sentence, and the radio station suddenly became much quieter.

'Jinshide Group's semi-annual report announced: total revenue of 457.7 billion, a year-on-year increase of 1.4%, and net profit of 33.9 billion.'

'Fulai held an all-star Sky Stage concert, inviting 133 stars, with 131 actually attending. Taking the sky as the stage, the entire city enjoys pure sound.'

'Bai Xing actress Erfa Dela announced her marriage late last night.'

'Yi Country's Foreign Minister Wu Fu, was invited to visit Aernicia, and had a cordial meeting with Aernicia's President Gaomen.'

'115 listed companies worldwide jointly announced the establishment of a new Circum-Terran Trade Alliance, and announced that the alliance will invest or acquire 71 heavy space prisons in the lunar near-Earth region at the end of July. It is reported that this business plan has been approved by the International Court of Justice.'

One daily news bulletin after another quickly pulled Li Cheng颐 out of the immersion of the dead corner.

When he heard about the near-Earth space prison, his mind was filled with the predecessor's common sense about this part.

"Space prison...are you referring to the Prison Gate?" he casually asked.

"The Prison Gate is just the most famous one. In fact, there are many space prisons, reportedly more than a hundred, under the jurisdiction of the International Court of Justice." The taxi driver was obviously well-informed, listening to the news every day.

"Actually, isn't the International Court of Justice still jointly decided by us and Bai Xing?" Li Cheng颐 smiled.

"That's what they say, but it sounds much better on the surface, doesn't it? Although other countries are small, they also need to be united," the driver said with a smile.

"I heard that you can also go up to the Prison Gate for sightseeing. I wonder when I can go up and take a look," Li Cheng颐 sighed.

"There are opening periods, but it still costs a lot of money," the driver replied. "Ordinary people like us shouldn't even think about it. Hundreds of thousands for a one-way trip. A lifetime of savings is only enough for two trips."

The car slowly slowed down and stopped at this time.

"Here we are." She deftly tore off the automatically printed fare bill and handed it to Li Cheng颐.

After paying the money, Li Cheng颐 pushed the door open and got out of the car. He had already seen the professional suit woman with pencil eyebrows waiting by the side of the road outside the mall.

This time, she changed into a gray suit, a knee-length short skirt with thin black stockings, outlining the rounded curves of her legs.

"Let's go, the boss and the others have been waiting for a while," she said in a low voice.

"Who else is there besides the boss?" Li Cheng颐 followed her into the building through the side door and asked casually.

"Mr. Sima Gui is also there," Pencil Eyebrow replied.

Sima Gui?

A trace of curiosity arose in Li Cheng颐's heart. He had heard this name more than once in the company. This was a signatory that Boss Xindela had signed with three dead corner experiences since coming to Yi Country.

Compared to him, a newcomer who had only experienced it once, this person was definitely a heavyweight.

The two entered the elevator, watching the floor numbers constantly change.

"Mr. Cheng Yi should be careful," Pencil Eyebrow suddenly said.

"?" Li Cheng颐 looked at her, puzzled.

"Mr. Sima Gui has a bad temper. To be precise, most dead corner people have abnormal tempers. You are considered very gentle," Pencil Eyebrow said, clearly showing a trace of resistance between her brows and eyes when mentioning Sima Gui.

"Thanks for the reminder," Li Cheng颐 nodded. He vaguely guessed that this time the boss had gathered everyone together, it seemed that there was a big move.
