Chapter 88: 080 Urgent: Alliance Hierarch Xie Xunmeng’s Pig-Cat

“Really? You agree so easily?” Li Chengyi was slightly astonished.

“Really, just one million!” Song Ran answered.

“It’s a bargain!” Without another word, Li Chengyi stepped into the elevator and pressed the button.

Quickly, the elevator descended.

Ding.

The doors slowly opened.

The joyful expression on Li Chengyi’s face suddenly stiffened.

He stood in the elevator, not moving out, but instead remained stiff and motionless in place.

Outside the elevator was not the anticipated lobby of the first-floor apartment.

It was a small supermarket bathed in white light.

Ding-dong.

The automatic glass doors of the supermarket opened with a crisp musical sound, seemingly welcoming him back.

Inside, a total of five shelves were intact.

By the cash register, that little green door was still ajar.

This was none other than the Silent Store from which Li Chengyi had just escaped….

Standing at the entrance, he didn’t move an inch, simply gazing at the open doors of the Silent Store.

The supermarket’s floor was grayish-white with black specks on the tiles, and at the entrance, there was blue promotional paper stuck to the floor.

It was a piece of plastic paper shaped like a cloud, with the words written on it: “Bring Happiness Home.”

‘How could it have happened so quickly!?’ Li Chengyi felt a chill in his heart.

He had just used the Flower Language Technique: Drunken Hand on those two invisible monsters, and now both creatures would surely have a high resistance to it. He hadn’t fully recovered yet, so if he went in now, there was a high probability he would get killed!

Compared to the first encounter with the Grecius incident, this time, he felt the cruelty of the blind spot even more acutely.

He just stood there silently in the elevator, not entering.

The doors of the small supermarket also remained quietly open, unmoving.

The standoff continued like this from both sides.

Sweat beads began to form on Li Chengyi’s forehead, but he dared not move.

“This is only the second premonition. It’s not a complete entry into the blind spot. As long as I endure and don’t go in, I should be able to get out soon!”

Premonitions were not stable, and any trivial detail could lead a person to escape from it.

Just as it had happened to him a few times before.

In his poor condition, Li Chengyi stood still, waiting.

Time ticked away by the minute and second.

He had now turned on the recording switch on his AR glasses and activated the portable database Xindela had given him.

‘Right, the return happened so quickly this time, could it be related to the fact that I destroyed the shelves and merchandise inside the supermarket?’

This thought suddenly came to Li Chengyi, remembering that Xindela’s data included such a warning.

Upon causing destruction to the site, objects, or even certain supernatural creatures within the blind spot, the blind spot would automatically deploy various targeted responses.

Shortening the entry time was one of them.

He didn’t know how much time had passed.

Perhaps ten minutes, or maybe just five or six.

Finally, the elevator doors slowly closed.

The Silent Store outside was blocked out of sight, never to be seen again.

Phew…

Li Chengyi let out a long breath.

Hiss.

Just then, the elevators doors opened again.

This time it was finally normal, revealing the first-floor lobby of the apartment below.

Song Ran, with his phone pressed to his ear, was walking back and forth while on a call.

Seeing Li Chengyi come out of the elevator, his expression was anxious.

“You…! I even took the elevator up to look for you just now! You suddenly disappeared! Were you again…?”

He didn’t finish his sentence.

But Li Chengyi understood his meaning.

Solemnly, he nodded towards him.

“Let’s go, don’t stop. We must immediately go find Professor Zhong Hui!”

“Okay!” Song Ran’s expression turned grave, understanding the seriousness of the situation.

Entering the premonition so soon and for the second time, if the third time comes, Li Chengyi will definitely enter completely. If they don’t find a way out before then, he might very well…

Without hesitation, the two rushed out of the apartment building, nearly colliding with a young couple entering the door.

They got in the car amidst their low exclamations.

Li Chengyi suddenly spoke up.

“Take a detour to the botanical garden I just acquired. I’ve hidden something there! It’s better to be safe than sorry!”

“Okay!” Song Ran asked no further questions, started the car, and entered the destination.

Vroom.

The engine started, and the car dashed off like an unchained wild horse, quickly speeding down the empty street.

Halfway there, Li Chengyi closed his eyes and fell silent.

He was not resting, but instead was selecting the most suitable Flower Language from the various Flower Language Abilities he had previously recorded, to serve as the main flower for the third Divine Flower Position.

This time, to face the two untouchable monsters of the Silent Store, he needed the ability to inflict direct damage on these types of creatures or to exert powerful control.

In his mind, varieties of Flower Language rapidly scrolled by.

‘White Chrysanthemum, Flower Language: Resolute Heart.’

‘Roadside Thorn, Flower Language: Mirror of Yearning.’

‘Red Peony, Flower Language: Undivided Love.’

‘Blue Iris, Flower Language: Heart of Admiration.’

One after another, Flower Language Abilities flashed through his mind.

Suddenly, a particularly memorable Flower Language came to the forefront of his thoughts.

‘Sunflower, Flower Language: Crown of Radiance.’

The Crown of Radiance itself has two abilities: first, it heals minor ailments; second, it has a dispelling effect on dark attribute entities.

‘If abilities could evolve, would they eventually become lethal rather than just dispersal?

And the healing effects, after evolution, might achieve a dual purpose….’

Li Chengyi was tempted.

If he hadn’t encountered that untouchable monster before this trip to the Silent Store, he might have aimed for the third main flower to be something like crape myrtle or iron tree, flowers with dual meanings.

But now, having faced such danger, he understood how troubling and dangerous it was to have shortcomings in his methods of response.

‘Sunflower… it shall be! The strongest aspect of this ability is its lack of time limit! No need to activate, just wearing the Crown of Radiance will do! Durability is the core! Even the faintest healing, given time, can accumulate significantly!’

Of course, the key point was that his privately purchased plant garden had plenty of sunflowers.

This flower, popular in florists, was commonly used as the main blossom for holidays, paired with other flowers in bouquets, to great visual effect. This also meant it sold well.

Right then, Li Chengyi quickly made up his mind to select the sunflower as his third main flower.

The moment he made his decision, he remembered his favorite wild camellia… and still, his heart ached. A wave of reluctance surged forth.

Ten minutes later.

The SUV came to a quick stop in front of the gate to a plant garden on the outskirts of town, which yet bore no sign.

“Hang on, I’ll be right back!” Li Chengyi stepped out of the car after opening the door and hurried towards the garden gate.

There were two security guards at the entrance, already working there, who moved to stop him as he approached.

One of them seemed to recognize him all of a sudden.

“Director Li has finally arrived. Ever since you instructed us to keep everything as is last time, everyone’s been wanting to meet you…” He seemed eager to get closer.

“We’ll talk later, open the gate, I need to get something.”

Li Chengyi’s voice was deep.

“Of course, right away!” Seeing his urgent demeanor, the guard quickly stopped talking and turned to pull open the iron gate.

The garden wasn’t large, about the size of a football field, with rows of temperature-controlled greenhouses neatly aligned like ranks of lying maggots.

Each greenhouse had a sign hanging outside naming the variety of flowers being cultivated within.

Though this place was much smaller than other plant gardens in Suiyang, it was still a private piece of land where Li Chengyi could decide what to plant.

He had promptly had all unnecessary flowers sold off before, purchasing a large number of wisteria flowers and mature, variant seedlings, as well as gladiolus, all for times like this.

Following the internal paths, he went straight to the wisteria greenhouse.

Inside, automatic sprinkler heads were slowly spraying nutrient solution.

Some of the soil had only recently been cleared, revealing overturned earth.

At the far left of the greenhouse, there were two racks laden with thick clumps of wisteria flowers.

From a distance, they looked like clouds of purple.

Li Chengyi hurried over and gently pushed his hand into the blossoms.

Suddenly, a dense, cool sensation of flower energy rushed over the back of his hand and flowed into the Mark of the Evil Flower.

In the wisteria’s Evil Flower slot, a faint purple light also sparked, seemingly repairing something.

Before long, the flowers in front of him turned into hollow shells, devoid of their essence.

Li Chengyi continued with the replacement.

This time, with an abundance of wisteria flowers before him, it only took a few minutes before he received a prompt.

‘Wisteria Floral Dress has been repaired.’

Next would be the gladiolus!

Li Chengyi quickly left the greenhouse and headed towards the one where the Gladiolus were grown.

Similarly without any issues, the Gladiolus were repaired in just a few minutes.

At last, he was faced with the core purpose of his return—the Sunflower!

The Sunflower field was in a large area of the greenhouse that was bathed in sunlight.

This portion of the area had its greenhouse roof made entirely of a special transparent material, which did not obstruct the sunshine.

Li Chengyi soon rushed to the edge of the flower field and saw, at a glance, that the entire field was densely packed with golden Sunflowers.

He took a deep breath, opened up the fence around the flower field, and walked right in.

Reaching out his hand, he gently touched the closest Sunflower.

This flower’s disk was as large as a human palm. Along with the surrounding petals, a single flower was roughly the size of a soccer ball.

Li Chengyi had also considered choosing the “Flower Language Ability” of phasing, but he didn’t dare to bet on how long the cooldown for phasing would be, and the Silent Store needed to be sustained for ten minutes. If the cooldown was just a little bit longer…

Therefore, after comprehensive consideration, and taking into account the deficiencies in his current attack and defense system, choosing the Sunflower was the most cost-effective!

Pff.

Finally, his hand lightly touched the disk of the Sunflower.

A cold, slightly hard sensation surged into his heart.

‘Titan Sunflower: An annual herb, 3-5 meters tall. A variant of the Sunflower, known for its huge flower disk and exceedingly tall stature.’

“!?!” Li Chengyi was somewhat stunned.

He remembered that before he took over, he had visited this place and seen the Sunflowers thriving magnificently and beautifully, which pleased him at that time.

Back then, he didn’t reach out to touch them.

Now, upon closer inspection…

These were all Sunflowers, but they seemed different from before…

With a snap, he grabbed a passing aunty who was working nearby.

“I’d like to ask, what varieties are these Sunflowers?”

The old aunty was an original employee here and recognized Li Chengyi’s identity.

This new boss had come several times, and because he was young, the manager had circulated a photo of him beforehand, so everyone remembered him.

“Mr. Li, this side has always been Titan and Crown of Radiance. These two are the most popular, they look very beautiful either as cut flowers or ornamentals,” the old aunty honestly answered.

“Titan…” Li Chengyi turned back to look carefully and indeed, half of the Sunflowers in the field were noticeably taller.

And only now did he notice that the ground of the Sunflower field was specially constructed with elevated stone terraces.

A large part of the Sunflower’s root and stem was growing beneath these stone terraces.

This meant that people only saw the short portion of the Sunflower above the ground, where the flower disk was.

“They’re all planted in layers. Each Titan is about four to five meters tall, too high to plant normally or appreciate as they are, so we dig pits for them, lowering the base part. This way, it’s easier to view and harvest the flowers,” the old aunty explained.

Li Chengyi took a breath and walked back to the Titan Sunflower.

No wonder the flower disk was so large…

Among the Titans, this flower disk might even be considered mediocre. Some were even larger, with diameters of over half a meter.

Li Chengyi looked at the number of Sunflowers in the field and noticed that the ones still blooming splendidly were all Titans. The smaller Crown of Radiance ones were already dying, clearly about to be out of bloom.

‘Let’s check the Flower Language Technique first!’ He immediately reached out again and grabbed another Sunflower disk.

If the flowers were this large, they had to be stronger than common ones, right?
