"You're overthinking it. I'm just a father who isn't resigned to his fate, with a little money and a little power, who wants to find his son." Xindela shook his head.

"So, when does it start? How does it start?" Li Cheng颐 asked.

"First, you get a full medical checkup. After the results come out tomorrow, I'll arrange a training course.

Now, you also need to describe in detail all the scenes of the dead angle you entered, to facilitate modeling and reconstruction."

"What can be done after the reconstruction?" Li Cheng颐 frowned.

"Dead angles are places that once existed but later disappeared. Only by finding traces can we find a way to leave completely," Xindela replied.

Li Cheng颐 messed around in the New Century Building until after four o'clock in the afternoon before he walked out exhausted. He stopped at the bus stop at the exit of the parking lot, quietly waiting for the vehicle to arrive.

Modeling requires depicting many characteristic details, and then letting him check them against the examples found, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive.

Fortunately, it's done now, the modeling is completely successful, and all that's left is to wait for the results.

'Next is to consider the matter of the Flower Scale Armor... Perhaps the botanical garden has the most other variants of wisteria.'

Li Cheng颐 took out his phone and looked at the time, four fifteen.

Then he quickly searched for the nearest botanical garden.

Entering "botanical garden" on the phone map, different options nearby quickly popped up.

He decisively chose the nearest one.

'Four point three kilometers, not too far.'

Having determined the target, he then let the map automatically plan the route.

He planned to look for botanical gardens one by one, and at the same time contact flower and grass sellers online to ask if they could order finished wisteria flowers.

Of course, it would be best if the botanical garden had them for free. If not, he would have to spend a lot of money to build his own garden.

After all, the Flower Scale Armor needs to absorb living flowers to repair when it is damaged, so growing his own is naturally the most convenient.

'In addition, the specific strength, amplification, and abilities of the Flower Scale Armor must be thoroughly tested. With outsiders present, there is no way to test it confidentially. I can only spend money to build a test site myself. All of this requires money, a lot of money...'

Thinking about it, Li Cheng颐 suddenly felt that the salary Xindela gave was far from enough.

The testing of the Flower Scale Armor was imminent. He had to know which weapons he could defend against when he wore the Flower Scale Armor, and whether it could block bullets.

This was related to the direction of his training afterwards.

Soon, as he was thinking, the unmanned bus arrived. Following the crowd onto the bus, he grabbed the handrail, and with the swaying of the bus, he headed all the way towards the nearest Dongsheng Botanical Garden.

Unfortunately, after wandering around the botanical garden for more than an hour, they were about to close.

Helpless, Li Cheng颐 could only leave.

He touched a lot of other flowers, but he really didn't find any variants of wisteria.

In the evening, he sat on the bus home, exhausted.

Sitting in his seat, his eyes were dazed, and drowsiness kept surging up. He almost fell asleep several times.

The people around the seats changed batch after batch.

Li Cheng颐 didn't care at all, just wanting to take advantage of this time to rest.

But a few elementary school students standing by the seats, chattering and chatting with their schoolbags on their backs, caught his attention.

They were three children in blue and white elementary school uniforms, two boys and a girl.

"The succulent my mom brought me today grew a layer of green fuzz. Do your succulents have that?" the little girl asked sadly.

"I don't," another little boy wiped the snot that was about to flow out and wiped it on his pants.

"I do! I watered my succulent with milk and shampoo! The shampoo is colorful, and it looks super good mixed with milk. Now it's discolored in several places, and some of the flesh has turned yellow. It looks so good!" the last crew-cut boy said loudly, with a proud expression.

"Won't shampoo kill it?" the little girl asked worriedly.

"How could it? We use it to wash our hair, and we're fine. My dad said my succulent is very resilient. As long as you don't mess with it, it definitely won't die," the crew-cut boy said confidently.

"Amazing. I want a discolored succulent too..." the little girl's eyes began to light up.

"Let me tell you, I even secretly poured my dad's hair restorer on it..." the crew-cut boy said in a whisper, but his voice was very loud.

"Won't that kill it?" the runny-nosed boy asked.

"What's going to die? Some plants have super strong vitality. They'll absorb nutrients themselves. Maybe if you just feed it some nutrients, you can even create a mutated variety," the crew-cut boy replied.

Mutation??!

This last sentence made a light flash in Li Cheng颐's mind.

It seemed like an inspiration flashed through his mind.

'That's right! How did plant variants come about in the first place?'

He suddenly thought of this.

Immediately, he woke up and quickly searched on his phone.

A row of various information immediately appeared on the screen.

Soon he found the answer.

'The reasons for plant mutation are: 1. Influence of chemical substances, such as watering and soaking with special medicinal solutions. 2. Radiation treatment from radiation sources, such as space breeding. 3. Virus invasion. 4. Large changes in the water and soil of the growing environment, leading to long-term adaptation.'

"In other words, I can completely induce and create variants myself!"

Li Cheng颐 had an idea.

However, this should be in the future, after all the existing variants have been absorbed and are useless, then he will create variants himself.

Secretly noting this, Li Cheng颐 felt a lot more anticipation on the way back.

He also had a lot of ideas about the direction of development of the Evil Flower.

When he returned home, his sister Li Cheng Jiu was already back and talking to his parents. She didn't react to him entering the door.

Instead, his mother, Feng Yu Rong, got up and quickly added rice and handed him chopsticks.

Li Cheng颐's mind was focused on how to evolve the Flower Scale Armor, and he had no interest in the previous owner's sister at this time.

After eating a hasty meal, he lay on the bed and browsed his phone.

The phone could provide him with a lot of various information, common sense, and news, which allowed him to quickly recall the forgotten and vague parts of the previous owner's memory.

Suiyang City, Blue District.

In a semi-mountainous villa area, in a villa near the corner.

In the backyard lawn, Meng Dongdong suddenly woke up from a nightmare, covered in sweat on the deck chair, her heart beating almost one hundred and forty times a minute.

She wiped the sweat from her forehead and propped herself up from the deck chair. Looking at the surrounding courtyard walls of her home, even though the walls were lined with electric fences and spikes, she still didn't feel any sense of security in her heart.

Picking up her phone, she quickly dialed a number. After waiting for the tone, the call was connected.

"Hello, Dad, is there a way yet?"

There was silence on the other end of the phone.

"I asked an expert. To get out safely, one person must die each time."

"Die one person?" Meng Dongdong's pupils shrank involuntarily.

She remembered that last time, if it hadn't been for the gunman attracting the monster's attention, she would have been the one to die. Later, she came out for no apparent reason. It was likely because someone had died among the other two...

"Yes, as long as one person dies, the others can quickly escape. So, if you want to survive, you can only... let someone else die!" the man on the other end of the phone replied.

"..." Meng Dongdong was completely silent when she heard this.

"You described three entrants in total, excluding you, there are two others.

You came out inexplicably last time. One person should have already died, so the remaining person, if there are no new people, he is the object you need to confront next time," the man explained.

"Is there no other way?" Meng Dongdong gently bit her lip.

"Draw a portrait of the person, and your mother and I will help you find them. Compare the portraits, plus they are likely to be locals. As long as we find their identity, everything will be easy to handle," the man continued.

"Dad... you want to...!" Meng Dongdong knew that her company had some gray background, but listening to her father's tone at this time, he seemed to have made some preparations.

"I asked an expert. As long as we find the other participants, when it's almost time to go in, killing the others outside can also prolong the interval time," the man said.

"Dad..." Meng Dongdong's body trembled, and she wanted to say something.

"I won't let you die, Dongdong," the man interrupted her. "You have to prepare yourself mentally. Next time you go in, you have to train how to use a gun. I will prepare everything for you."

Waking up to a clear sky.

Early the next morning, Li Cheng颐 hurriedly got up, cooked a bowl of egg noodles, and went out to take the bus to New Century.

Nothing happened along the way. After about fifteen minutes, he arrived at Hongjin Biomedical Company, which was Xindela's shell company. The woman who had led the way before was already waiting for him at the door.

"The boss hasn't arrived yet. I'll take you to the place to exercise your physical fitness and start testing your physical qualities first."

The woman had a smile on her face, an extremely formulaic expression.

"Also, I am your exclusive contact person. You can contact me for anything in the future. The boss may not always be available, but I will find time to tell him," she added.

"Understood," Li Cheng頤 nodded to show his understanding.

The two still went around the side and took the elevator to the eighteenth floor.

As soon as the elevator door opened, he was greeted by a rhythmic drumbeat.

There was no corridor, no transition. Outside the elevator was a floor covered with gray soft pads.

Directly opposite the elevator entrance was a rectangular, spacious space.

Li Cheng颐 walked out of the elevator and looked up.

Above were rows of bright, high-power light bulbs, and the entire wall on the right was a mirror.

On the left were rows of various black exercise equipment.

At a glance, there were no less than twenty items.

In the corner on the soft pad were two dumbbell racks, and a blonde, blue-eyed woman with a short ponytail was holding one in each hand, doing forearm muscle training.

Seeing Li Cheng颐 come in, the woman stood up, put down the dumbbells, and walked towards him.

"Christine," she held out her hand, suspended between the two of them.

"Cheng Yi," Li Cheng颐 reached out and shook her hand. "Are you not from Yi Country (Y Country)?"

"Yes, I'm from White Star, Elunbaru State. I'm your physical fitness teacher," the blonde woman replied. Her Yi Country language was very authentic. If you didn't look at her appearance, you couldn't tell she wasn't a local.

"I have three White Star professional-level fitness training certifications, fifteen years of experience in the industry, and have been invited to teach physical fitness enhancement courses at several Star Ring Universities. So in terms of physical fitness, I am the most professional."

"Then I'll leave it to you," Li Cheng颐 nodded seriously.

The Star Ring University system is the top education certification system in White Star, a top university alliance composed of the best thirty universities, representing the highest and best in White Star, and also the highest and best group of universities in the world.

Being able to teach physical fitness enhancement courses in one of them, the blonde woman in front of him must have a very high salary.

"The boss's suggestion is to complete physical fitness enhancement and reshaping in the shortest time. So, you have to work hard, young man," Christine said coldly.

"Understood!"

The more readily he agreed, the more painful it was after the training.

A whole day of training, plus massage, medicinal bath, and stretching recovery, made Li Cheng颐 confirm that others could not see the Evil Flower on the back of his hand.

It also made him see for himself how bad his body was.

Endurance training alone exhausted him. After completing the standard amount, he didn't even have the strength to get up.

Fortunately, Xindela had prepared various powerful recovery methods. After the massage and medicinal bath, he could at least stand up and go home.

Time passed slowly day by day.

Every morning he went to the company for training, and in the evening he left to stroll around flower shops and botanical gardens, looking for wisteria variants, and also collecting the abilities of other flowers to prepare for the future.

At the same time, after receiving the salary issued by Xindela, Li Cheng颐 immediately ordered a lot of finished wisteria flowers and seeds online, preparing to find a place to plant them himself.

In the blink of an eye, a week passed, and the ordered goods finally arrived. The new wisteria variant was named: White Flower Wisteria.
