Chapter 106: Idea 3
“What’s that sound?”
Li Chengyi, who had just parked the car, pulled open the door and looked up towards the distant sky.
That place was the wilderness far from Suiyang, no longer considered a suburb, but a wasteland between cities.
In such an era, with this level of technology, the existence of such wastelands was almost unbelievable.
But they were indeed real, a haven for all kinds of criminals and exiles, and completely unmonitored chaos.
After glancing around and seeing nothing, Li Chengyi withdrew his gaze and surveyed his surroundings.
Above, the enormous White Star bathed the ground in moonlight.
He and his SUV were parked by the side of a small forest road.
The road was littered with gravel and fine sand, with the gray dust being ground so many times that it had become extremely fine.
The light breeze would occasionally kick up a faint cloud of dust and sand.
The narrow road was only about three meters wide, flanked on both sides by sparse grassland about a dozen meters across, leading into bushes and shrubs along the edges.
Further beyond lay the dense, gloomy forest.
At night, the SUV’s headlights shone like two white pillars, casting straight onto the road ahead and attracting numerous insects that fluttered around.
Leaning back against the car door, Li Chengyi took out a new, cheap phone to send a text message to all the parents.
Then, with a flash of gold, he sliced the phone into several pieces and casually threw them far into the woods.
After finishing, he checked the feedback from his Mark of the Evil Flower.
‘Evil Thoughts: 31%’.
‘Too slow. And I’ve crashed through several places in a row,’ he thought helplessly. People nowadays were really too fragile.
So many minions, brawlers, and they hadn’t been able to accumulate enough evil thoughts to complete the second evolution of the Wisteria Flowers.
He just stood there by the car door, head slightly lifted, leaning against the car, eyes closed in rest.
Now, his only thought was that he hoped the parents arriving later would be more capable.
Time passed, little by little.
About twenty minutes later.
Faint groans of people regaining consciousness came from the car, but this time Li Chengyi didn’t knock them out again.
Instead, he opened his eyes, his gaze falling on the wilderness in the distance.
‘Finally, they’re here…’ He stepped forward, and suddenly countless golden petals appeared all around him.
The petals swirled like a sandstorm, coalescing into the Gladiolus Floral Dress.
The light from the car’s headlights illuminated his entire body from behind, reflecting a slightly blinding gold.
Zzzt.
Quickly, two black hover cars sped from a distance, then slowed down and landed.
The intense airflow scattered the nearby dust and flattened the grass on both sides.
The car doors swung open, and several burly men in bulletproof vests and night vision combat helmets, dressed almost like special forces, jumped out quickly.
Although they looked the part, their disorganized stances upon landing suggested they were far from being real soldiers.
Li Chengyi crossed his arms and stood quietly in the spotlight, watching as more men jumped out of the hover cars.
The bright light reflecting off his Armor made it almost impossible to look at directly.
A total of ten men, the last one an especially strong and tall man.
He wore a metal facemask, a bulletproof helmet, and was clad in dark blue Exoskeleton Armor, covering vital areas, with one hand carrying a riot shield and the other a submachine gun.
“Full Exoskeleton?” The man looked intently at Li Chengyi not far away, his gaze through the night vision falling on his Armor.
“To get your hands on an Exoskeleton of this caliber, you must have good connections, buddy.”
“Anyone else?” Li Chengyi looked over the group of people.
“Where’s my son!”
“Where’s my daughter!?”
Two others in the group, Chen Sui and Song Chengtao, stepped forward, aiming large-caliber firearms at Li Chengyi. They were the other two he had chosen.
“Relax, they’re all fine,” Li Chengyi said, feeling the feedback from the Evil Flower.
‘Murderous Intent +3.’
‘Murderous Intent +2.’
‘Murderous Intent +3.’
‘Murderous Intent +2.’
The continuous flow of evil thoughts lifted his spirits.
“You brought the gold bars?” he asked gravely.
The two exchanged a glance with Long Shangui, each holding a black case as they stepped forward.
The cases weren’t large, they clicked open to reveal neatly arranged gold bars bearing a mark.
There were three cases in total—three cases of gold, nearly thirty million in value.
About a hundred kilograms.
“The gold is all here, all from Xiangyun, purity four nines,” stated Long Shangui gravely.
The three men set the cases gently on the ground in front of Li Chengyi, uncaring as the surrounding dust settled on them.
Only when they backed away did Li Chengyi step forward to pick up a gold bar to check it.
The producer’s name, Xiangyun, was in the middle of the gold bar, with the purity of four nines below it, followed by a small row of serial numbers and weight.
“Not bad. Now, if you fulfill my final request, you can take your children home,” he said, closing the cases and standing up to face the ten men.
“Buddy, you’re asking for a bit much,” said Long Shangui, holding back Chen Sui who wanted to curse out loud.
“Greed can lead to trouble.”
“I’m not greedy,” Li Chengyi said with a smile.
He reached behind him and drew out a Golden Sword.
“From the beginning, I just wanted to play a simple game with you all.”
He took a step towards them.
Bang!!
Suddenly, his figure flashed; with speed several times that of an ordinary person, he crossed the distance of more than ten meters and charged into the crowd.
Pop pop pop!
The sound of gunfire erupted suddenly, becoming continuous.
Everyone’s hearts skipped a beat at his sudden burst of speed.
He was too fast!!
That kind of explosive power simply shouldn’t be possible for an exoskeleton.
“Complete Body!!” Suddenly, Long Shangui realized.
His submachine gun tried to aim at Li Chengyi, but the bullets didn’t even seem to know where they were spraying.
The others were the same, in haste they simply couldn’t aim properly.
Hiss hiss hiss!!
Three muffled sounds in a row, three bodies clutched their throats and slumped to the ground.
Blood gushed out profusely, soaking the grass on both sides.
Two more were accidentally shot by their own comrades. Even with bulletproof vests at close range, they staggered and bent over as if punched hard, losing the ability to fight.
“Ditch the guns, hand-to-hand!”
Long Shangui was the first to snap to his senses, dropping his gun and raising his right arm, making a fist.
His exoskeleton’s spiked fist, he smashed viciously at the fleeting golden figure.
Years of combat training and routine drug enhancements allowed him to seize the fleeting opportunity.
He actually landed the punch.
Thud!!

The spiked fist hit Li Chengyi’s open left hand dead on.
The hand firmly caught the fist.
Crack.
The powerful grip even made a slight twisting noise in Long Shangui’s gauntlet.
“You’re quite good,” said Li Chengyi, lifting one hand, and unbelievably lifting Long Shangui, along with his arm, off the ground.
He then smashed him backwards.
Thud!
Long Shangui, after all, was just a somewhat stronger common man. Even with drug enhancements, his strength was limited; a blow that could break a concrete wall slammed into him.
Though he was wearing exoskeleton armor with shock absorption, he was in intense pain all over, felt woozy in his head, and had slowed reactions.
By the time he struggled to stand up from the ground, there was no second person left standing around him.
Chen Sui, Song Chengtao, were already on the ground, faces covered in blood, dazed, obviously severely injured.
And the others lay in pools of blood, lifeless.
Thud!!
There was sudden loud noise.
Li Chengyi held a greatsword and viciously pierced through a hover car’s hood.
The golden greatsword was incredibly sharp, easily perforating the vehicle with a large hole.
He then did the same to another hover car, rendering it useless.
“Now, let’s play a game,” Li Chengyi said, pulling out the sword, turning around, and looking at Long Shangui and his two companions, and the few young men and women waking up in the SUV.
“How could someone like me, just a gang leader, deserve the attention of a ‘Complete Body’ like you, when even the police have trouble with you?” Long Shangui pulled off the fragmented metal mask, revealing a bloodstained chin.
“No matter the game, I’m in! Just spare my son, and I will cooperate with whatever you want!”
“Dad!!” Inside the SUV not far away, Long Yuanfu finally couldn’t hold back, shouting and crying out.
‘Intent to Kill +4’
‘Rage +7’
‘Anger +5’
‘Hatred +1’
Feeling the accelerating increase in Evil Thoughts, Li Chengyi’s mood became even more pleasant.
This alone gave him seventeen points of Evil Thoughts, a rate of increase that who knows how much faster than before.
He watched as the Evil Thoughts rapidly exceeded 60 and kept soaring upwards.
The corners of his mouth, under his helmet, grew wider.
“Good… The name of this game is ‘Garden of Fate’…”
“Garden of Fate?” Long Shangui and his two companions suppressed their emotions, spread out, and got to their feet, staring intently at Li Chengyi, ready for whatever he might do.
Li Chengyi sheathed the Golden Sword at his back.
“Starting now, every ten minutes, I will make a move and randomly kill one of you.”
“You need to guess aloud who I intend to strike when the time comes.
If you’re correct, I will refrain from that move.”
He didn’t say what would happen if they were wrong, but naturally, being wrong meant the target would certainly die.
“What the hell kind of game is this!!” Long Yuanfu inside the SUV couldn’t hold back any longer and roared out loud.
“Dad, just go, don’t worry about me!” He still had some guts.
But Long Shangui didn’t pay the slightest attention to his son, instead staring intently at Li Chengyi.
“How many times? How long do we have to play?” He asked coldly, enduring the intense pain in his body, without blinking an eye.
“Five times.” Li Chengyi spread his palm open, “After five times, I’ll let you go.”
Bang!
Suddenly, a gunshot sounded.
A small spark appeared dead center on Li Chengyi’s forehead.
But it was futile; he merely slightly tilted his head backward before returning to normal.
“Naughty children require punishment.”
In an instant, a figure flashed, and he rushed to the side of the SUV, the Golden Sword slashing through.
Feng Sihe, who had secretly fired the shot, had his right arm sliced cleanly in two, his hand holding the small pistol also released, letting the gun roll away on the ground.
He writhed and struggled, screaming in agony as blood gushed out, splattering all over inside the vehicle.
The few young men and women inside started to scream, terrified, their faces turning pale, Feng Haijiao burst into tears on the spot, her legs kicking wildly, head tilted to one side, eyes shut tight, refusing to look.
Having seen her own father’s arm chopped off by a single sword strike, the intense shock caused an immense fear of Li Chengyi to grow inside her.
‘Fear +2’
Li Chengyi glanced at Feng Haijiao.
‘Waste.’
That state of nearly peeing herself from fear only gave two points.
It turns out that waste really is waste, and a low-quality product can never become a high-quality fertilizer.
Luckily, the others were more cooperative.
He turned around, facing Long Shangui and his two companions.
“Now. The game can begin.”
