After opening the first Divine Flower Position, it seemed even the Evil Flower had new changes. There were detailed explanations about the Flower Language Ability in the details.
It's just...
Isn't this explanation a bit...
Li Chengyi was speechless, raised his hand, and changed to another flower.
Next to the peony was a small blue flower with petals that looked like a knotted scarf, blue on the outside, pale yellow inside, with a hint of purple in the center petals.
'Blue Iris: Also known as blue butterfly flap-bamboo flowers, cold-resistant, blooms in April to May, benefits include expelling wind, relieving dampness, detoxifying, reducing inflammation, promoting blood circulation, and dispersing blood stasis.'
'Flower Language: Heart of Admiration. (When wearing the Floral Dress with an admirer present, one can obtain a 200% specialized boost.)
(Please note:
1. When the person you admire is female, the boost specializes in endurance.
2. When the person you admire is male, the boost specializes in muscle girth and strength.
3. When the person you admire is of another gender, the boost specializes in physical recovery.)'
'Floral Dress: Insufficient Divine Flower Position, please unlock.'"
"...." Li Chengyi's mouth twitched slightly, this Flower Language Ability was very strong.
Really strong.
It's just not suitable for ordinary people.
Releasing his hand, he reached out to the other side, where a cluster of white flowers were pressed together.
This flower had only four petals each, arranged in a cross-shape, with black and yellow stamens, every three flowers packed together, facing the sunlight like triplets.
'Unnamed Flower: Blooms in April to May, commonly grows in well-lit areas, has extremely long roots with egg-shaped nodules, which can be used in medicine. Benefits include securing fetal position, replenishing qi, drying dampness, and facilitating water flow.'
'Flower Language: Wound Healing. (Can quickly recover from minor physical injuries, and has some effect on psychological trauma.)'
The information on the Floral Dress below didn't change, still unavailable for unlocking.
Li Chengyi let go, he had never seen this flower before, there was no information in the Evil Flower either, but he could still detect the Flower Language Ability, giving him a new idea.
'This means, if I go out into the wild and unlock the second Moon time Divine Flower Position, maybe I can find stronger Flower Language Abilities from various unnamed and undiscovered flowers by humans!'
Of course, this would probably be a matter of the distant future. He hadn't even fully tried out many of the artificially cultivated flowers in the city.
By the roadside, riverbank, in the weeds, there were many places where he might find some unknown small flowers, and with a bit of luck, he might obtain some good Flower Language.
'But the current problem is, how do I maximize the development of the first Divine Flower Position?'
At this moment, Li Chengyi's thoughts finally returned to the evolution of the Wisteria Flowers.
As he looked at the back of his right hand, in the Evil Flower Ring where the slot for the Wisteria Flower pattern was filled, a wisp of purple light suddenly lit up.
Then, a stream of information flowed into his mind, it was an assortment of data about Wisteria Flowers.
Among them, the number of evolutions showed twice.
'Evolution... requires other varieties of the same category of Wisteria Flowers... The requirements are very precise, just randomly trying my luck probably won't allow me to complete the evolution quickly. It seems, I will need to go to a botanical garden, or a large flower shop...'
He quickly had a plan in mind.
The botanical garden housed a great variety of flowers, with large flower shops being the secondary option, after all, Wisteria was not exactly a flower worth selling.
Of course, the best method would be to buy seeds online specifically and grow them myself!
But that would take too long.
Li Chengyi frowned and stood up, quickly taking out his phone, and opened the largest shopping app—Kuai Xuan app.
After closing a bunch of automatically popped-up promotional ads, he typed 'Wisteria Flowers' into the search bar.
Click search.
Snap.
A list of search results about Wisteria Flowers appeared at once.
'Wisteria saplings, guaranteed to live.'
'Shipped with leaves, potted Wisteria Flowers.'
'Wisteria Flower seeds, buy two get one free, climbs walls, blooms in all seasons.'
Line after line was filled with advertisements by businesses promoting Wisteria Flowers, there were even wholesale offers.
'It seems, I am still short on money....' If he had plenty of money, he could entirely buy blooming flowers, stack them at home, or set up his own small garden.
While thinking about things, Li Chengyi was about to continue searching for Wisteria Flower Variants.
Suddenly, a call from an unsaved strange number came through.
The phone screen immediately turned red, and a line of text from the carrier emerged.
'Incoming call flagged by 367 people as advertising sales, please answer with caution.'
Li Chengyi was about to hang up when the red on the screen suddenly turned green, and the text also changed to new content.
'Safe call, please beware of scams.'
Then with a snap, before he could answer, the phone answered by itself.
"Hello, hello, can you hear me?" Xindela's voice came through the handset.
Li Chengyi's heart skipped a beat, quickly picked up the phone and looked around to make sure no one noticed.
Then he put the phone to his ear, covering it tightly.
"I can hear you, go ahead," he said, lowering his voice.
"Can you not be so obvious? Just relax, be natural, relaxed," Xindela said on the phone, somewhat helpless.
"Am I being that obvious?" Li Chengyi countered.
"Yes, you're tense, never mind, just come to this address, I'll wait for you here, someone will be down here to meet you," Xindela replied. "The information, the news you want, can all be found here."
"What address?"
"776 West Kong Street, New Century Building, when you get there, go to the lobby on the first floor, someone will meet you. The company's name is Hongjin Biomedical Company."
"There's a dedicated company? West Kong Street seems to be a bustling commercial district, right?" Li Chengyi said in surprise. His predecessor had just applied for a job at a company there not long ago, and he almost made it to the interview stage, so he had a deep impression of the place.
After all, private enterprises these days that don't mind his major in plant maintenance are truly rare.
"Yes, busier places are also safer, that's what everyone thinks," Xindela said, uttering a statement of deep meaning.
The call ended automatically.
Li Chengyi put away his phone, took a deep breath, and without hesitation, he began to walk straight out of the park.
First, he would learn about the relevant information concerning the 'blind spot'.
No matter what Xindela's intentions were, at the very least his understanding of the 'blind spot', as well as his technical proficiency in mobile communication networks, far surpassed what he could imagine as an ordinary college graduate.
Since the location was in the heart of the busiest commercial district, he decided to go there first and check it out.
After all, no one would dare to cause trouble in the most populous commercial district.
After leaving the park, he waited at the bus stop for a while, boarded a bus, and headed to West Kong Street in the city center.
Standing in the bus, the scenery outside the window transitioned from the quiet suburbs to bustling activity.
The roads gradually went from sparse to crowded.
Honks of car horns rose and fell in succession.
People constantly got on and off the bus, and soon Li Chengyi also found a seat and quickly sat down.
The blue hardened plastic seats were cool, and with many holes underneath, they were even more refreshing.
Li Chengyi leaned back in his seat, comfortably stretched his spine, and let his sore muscles relax as much as possible.
He turned his face to look out the window.
To his left were rows of gray-white residential high-rises, roughly ten stories tall, with rows of green evergreen trees planted below.
Underneath the trees was a bike lane, with people of various colors on bicycles, whether commuting or dropping off children, moving forward in the same direction as the bus.
"About four hundred and fifty meters ahead, entering the roundabout," a gentle electronic female voice suddenly announced inside the bus.
Li Chengyi looked back inside the bus.
The bus had two rows of seats, ten on the left and twelve on the right, with no driver; it was an automated vehicle.
A faint smell of disinfectant wafted throughout the bus, slightly pungent.
A few school students standing and waiting for a seat coughed occasionally, seemingly irritated by the smell.
Li Chengyi noticed that most people inside the bus would sporadically lower their heads to check their phones.
But a few of them behaved somewhat abnormally.
These individuals leaned back comfortably in their seats, or against any support they could find on the bus, while one hand continuously moved in front of them, making various gestures.
He was a bit puzzled, but soon retrieved the corresponding item from his predecessor's memory—augmented reality glasses.
He noticed that these individuals all wore thin, tea-colored glasses, which he surmised to be the so-called augmented reality glasses.
'No wonder this world seems so technologically advanced on the internet and in books, but it's hard to tell in everyday life.'
Filled with curiosity, Li Chengyi closely observed the actions of those wearing augmented reality glasses.
Soon, the bus began to slow down, turn, and drive up the slope onto the roundabout overpass.
Watching those people for a while, a wave of drowsiness rose again, and he realized that his overtaxed body still needed a lot of time to recover. He glanced out the window to assess the situation.
At this point, after getting onto the overpass, the bus made several turns, and all that was visible on both sides were silver-colored walls, about five or six meters high.
With no scenery to pass the time, he simply shifted his body, set his phone to vibrate for alerts, and began to rest with his eyes closed.
When it was time for his stop, the phone would automatically vibrate to wake him.
Time trickled by.
One minute, two minutes, five minutes, ten minutes...
Hum.
A powerful vibration brought Li Chengyi back from his daydreaming state.
He opened his eyes wide, saw the bus doors open right in front of him, quickly got up, and joined the others in getting off the bus.
At the station platform he faced, a few elderly men with grocery bags were in a rush to board from beside him.
"I'll pay."
"Why should it be you? I'll do it."
"Stop being polite! Next time it's your turn, I'll pay this time, and that's settled!"
The voices of the elderly men jockeying with each other came from behind, and Li Chengyi's tense nerves relaxed with the ordinary daily life bustle, easing gradually.
He looked around.
On one side of the platform stood a sign: West Kong Road · Xichuan Road Station.
There was also an electronic screen on the sign continuously scrolling through the numbers of the buses about to arrive.
Drawing back his gaze, Li Chengyi moved a few steps to the left before he could clearly see where he stood.
He was standing at a crossroad intersection, right beside the platform was a zebra crossing, with bustling crowds moving back and forth across it.
Crossing the zebra crossing, he saw rows of gray-white buildings on the opposite side of the road.
Among them, one silver building stood out from the rest due to its height and the large red metallic plaque on its rooftop that hollowed out the words: New Century Leisure Life Plaza.
"...It certainly is eye-catching enough..." Li Chengyi saw his destination at first glance.
This building, in his predecessor's memory, had been a landmark of Suiyang City since his childhood.
If not for the influx of newer high-end shopping centers in recent years that had stolen the customer flow, New Century would still be considered Suiyang's premier leisure and shopping center.
He steadied himself, took a step forward onto the zebra crossing, and blended with the crowd as he walked towards the tallest building.
