Chapter 236 236 Leaving Four

"You won, Thug."

Liu Tongbei looked at Chen Tingyun, who had completely lost the will to fight. "I will represent Jiu Yi and the Association to urge Zhong Yi University to provide corresponding compensation. Don't worry, Chen Tingyun comes from a prominent family. Even if the school doesn't acknowledge it, his own family is a noble family and can afford the compensation."

"A noble family?" Li Cheng颐 was taken aback. The noble families of Yi State were a level that ordinary people rarely had contact with.

This was because the nobles of Yi State mainly lived in the self-circulating cities and rarely went out to ordinary cities.

"Then I'll trouble you, Commissioner Liu." He politely thanked Liu Tongbei.

"You're welcome. It's what I should do," Liu Tongbei said with a smile.

Li Cheng颐 finally glanced at Li Shenhui and Chen Tingyun, both of whom seemed to have lost their spirits.

Their worldviews had obviously been completely shattered.

He shook his head inwardly. Such willpower was far inferior to even Qiong An, whom he had just taken in. They were just two wastes with strong talents and resources.

Turning around, purple particle streams sprayed out behind him, propelling him rapidly into the distance.

"He's already modified a flight mode?" Liu Tongbei clicked his tongue in admiration.

It seemed that with the support of Rainbow Candy's father, Thug's technological reserves were getting stronger and stronger.

Three o'clock in the afternoon.

The Destiny Garden team gathered again in the basement of the villa.

Qiong An had been sent back to Suiyang for surgery. She still had to undergo careful examination to see if she was qualified to join.

This woman was ruthless, extremely strong-willed, and somewhat crazy. Li Cheng颐 planned to observe her for a long time before making a decision.

So, those still present were Rainbow Candy, Xindela, Xiao Zong, Da Xiong, who had just rushed over, and Longmendiao, who had sneaked out.

Everyone had arrived.

Li Cheng颐 had specifically dragged a rectangular wooden table into the basement, arranging chairs for everyone to discuss matters.

"I just completed the transaction手续 for this house. In the future, this can be used as our temporary Long An base." Rainbow Candy was the first to speak, licking a lollipop.

"Is there enough company funds?" Li Cheng颐 asked.

"Yes, I didn't use the company's money. My own private money is enough," Rainbow Candy said casually.

"Candy-jie is awesome!!" Longmendiao quickly applauded.

Immediately, everyone's attention focused on him.

Everyone's eyes were a little strange.

A black-haired girl with Rainbow Candy's face, the same voice, and a similar figure. Just taller, with a kind of 御姐 (yujie, mature woman) temperament.

She was wearing a set of gorgeous silver armor, making her look like she had walked out of some exoskeleton laboratory.

Overall, this armor was not much different from many heavy exoskeletons.

That is, there were three crystal red lines on her chest, like three squinting eyes.

The face could be freely opened and closed with a silver metal mask.

And there was a superfluous long hair covering the armor on her back.

Everywhere else, it looked like a high-end exoskeleton.

"Longmen, how do you feel now?" Da Xiong asked curiously, "Is it still there below?"

".Of course!" A trace of unnaturalness flashed across Longmendiao's face, but he immediately straightened his chest. "Don't think that I've changed like this, but my gender hasn't changed."

Xiao Ke wasn't without it!

"Then what do you do when you take a bath?" Da Xiong asked a sharp question.

"Of course, I take it off and just casually..." Longmendiao didn't finish his words when he felt a bone-chilling coldness shoot out of thin air beside him.

"I just casually close my eyes and wash! Hehe" He gave a dry laugh, turning his head to give Rainbow Candy a flattering smile.

"Can you go back now?" Li Cheng颐 asked.

"Uh... I don't know what's going on for the time being, I can't. But I can feel that as long as I give it some time, I can freely choose to switch," Longmendiao replied.

"You sneaked out, won't your family worry?" Da Xiong asked.

"Worry about what? I came out swaggeringly, they don't even recognize me, hey, I even secretly took my sister-in-law's clothes to wear out. You didn't see my brother's expression, his eyes were staring straight, hahahaha!"

Longmendiao obviously hadn't realized that he had gradually entered the ranks of some non-combustible material…

The people around him all had twitching faces, quietly moving away from him.

"You say, if I go seduce my brother, make something happen between him and my sister-in-law's family, and then suddenly reveal my identity, what would his reaction be?" Longmendiao's thinking had obviously started to take a special detour, and didn't know where it had gone wrong.

"You son of a bitch... don't use my face to do that! Thing! Ah!!!"

Rainbow Candy's face turned red, and she jumped up, slapping Longmendiao hard.

Pa.

Her hand was firmly grasped by Longmendiao.

"Hahaha, Candy-jie, you're not working anymore! Your current reaction is like a snail in my eyes, you are no longer my opponent!" Longmendiao laughed.

"Is that so!?" Rainbow Candy's eyes darkened, and suddenly her eyes lit up with rainbow-like fluorescence.

Her whole body was instantly covered with large silver magnolia petals. The petals quickly condensed and covered her body, turning into a smaller set of silver metal armor.

The armor looked exactly the same as Longmendiao's, just a little smaller.

In this instant, the weight ratio of the two people changed abruptly.

Bang!!

Longmendiao was slapped hard, hitting the side of his face, and the whole person flew out horizontally, hitting the basement wall and smashing a small range of subtle cracks.

A shallow pit was smashed into the wall.

"You son of a bitch! Say that again if you have the guts!! Ah!?" Rainbow Candy rushed up, continuing to beat up Longmendiao.

Huge impact sounds continued to explode, hurting the eardrums of the others, and the basement reverberated with echoes.

"Okay, let's go out and find a place to fight slowly later, let's talk about business first," Li Cheng颐 said in a deep voice.

He tapped his finger lightly on the table.

Rainbow Candy then let go, carrying Longmendiao with a swollen face back to the table.

"As you can see, after obtaining Longmen's awakening method, I also found a way to activate this Huahuan Yi (Flower Phantom Garment). I have to say, the technology of this armor has touched on space transmission, biological fusion parasitism, gene-directed amplification, and so on. If this technology is exposed, it may cause great turmoil. So we better have a unified story." Rainbow Candy took a breath and said.

"That's right, space jump transmission is generally only used for a wide range. This kind of small-scale precision transmission, even for White Star, is probably still in the laboratory stage, and there is still a long way to go before application," Xindela said.

"So I hope everyone keeps this matter secret." Li Cheng颐 nodded.

"Next, we need to carefully consider whether to go to Sutan immediately to find the next location of the Book of Records. Leann's team member Haines carries the Book of Records, he is a Sutanese, we may be able to find clues there.

In addition, when Qiong An came out of the Dead Angle, she didn't return to the location where she entered that year. Does this mean that there are other rules in the Dead Angle that we haven't been able to explore? Has anyone tried two people contacting each other to leave together?" Li Cheng颐 asked.

"There have been two new Dead Angle people appearing in the company, and the locations after they left are basically in one place. This is indeed not an isolated case." Da Xiong, as a manager, was very clear about these aspects.

"That is to say, if a team can connect each other through some method, then it is possible to realize entering and exiting the Dead Angle at one location?" Xindela asked.

"Yes." Da Xiong nodded, "In addition, I scanned and detected the Golden Eye Snake ring that Brother Yi brought out and found that it is not pure gold. But also hidden are some things similar to bone-like human tissue. They are wrapped inside the gold metal, and I suspect it may be related to the location of the transmission."

"Is it to allow all of Leann's team members to enter and exit at the same location, so they created the Golden Eye Snake ring?" Xiao Zong guessed.

"Afterwards, I'll trouble Da Xiong and Xiao Zong to analyze it. If possible, we can also imitate and implement this function. Jointly entering and exiting a Dead Angle may be very convenient at times," Li Cheng颐 said in a deep voice.

"Okay."

"Leave it to me!"

The two responded in unison.

"We have suppressed Zhong Yi University, and there will be no problems in a short time, but this may attract more attention. I hope everyone pays attention to this." Li Cheng颐 said.

"The Noir Group incident last time will not happen again. I have re-improved the new monitoring network. Now Suiyang is our reserved land. Even if Jiu Yi comes, we can detect it immediately." Rainbow Candy sat back in her seat and said in a deep voice.

Several people carefully discussed the development and planning of the team. Da Xiong proposed absorbing several new members to join, and everyone decided to examine them first.

The current number of people is actually enough. There is no rush for the time being. Unless there are particularly excellent and very few Dead Angle people.

This discussion lasted until late at night before everyone dispersed.

"Boss."

Before leaving, Li Cheng颐 suddenly stopped Xindela.

"What's wrong?" Xindela turned around. His legs and feet were now completely healed, and the Huahuan Yi (Flower Phantom Garment) that had gradually begun to strengthen was feeding back to his all-around physique.

"Can we talk?" Li Cheng颐 said.

"...Of course." Xindela smiled. Looking at Li Cheng颐, the starlight of White Star sprinkled on the other's young face under the night.

For a time, he seemed to see Leann more than ten years ago.

That was their last meeting at White Star.

Whether it was Li Cheng颐 or Leann back then, they were so confident, talented, and had the courage and confidence that ordinary people could not imagine.

Actually, thinking about it, if they didn't have enough confidence and self-confidence, they wouldn't dare to truly embark on the path of pursuing the origin of the Dead Angle.

The two returned to the villa and came to a small garden in the backyard, slowly strolling around the garden.

It was March, and the humidity of early spring was blown onto their clothes by the wind, as if their whole bodies were covered with moisture.

"Boss, actually, having reached this point, I have many, many doubts and many, many questions. I have no one to ask, because I feel that many people around me are not qualified to answer me. Only you." Li Cheng颐 thought, deliberating how to ask his question.

"Don't worry, youth is the cost of trial and error," Xindela said with a smile. "You are already much better than many other people."

"It's different... I'm actually just an ordinary college student. Compared to many people, I don't know much, my level is not high, and I don't see far enough." Li Cheng颐 said in a low voice, "Even if I formed this team, I consciously don't have the qualifications to lead everyone forward. Tangtang and Da Xiong have more leadership skills than me. In fact, they are more suitable to lead everyone forward."

"What you said is actually not wrong." Xindela smiled, "But you have overlooked one of the most important core aspects."

"What?"

"Why did we gather together?"

"Because... I'm a high-frequency Flicker." Li Cheng颐 replied.

"Is that all?" Xindela shook his head.

"Is there anything else?" Li Cheng颐 asked back, puzzled.

"If it was just this one reason, the team should have disintegrated when you first encountered difficulties," Xindela said.

"Yes... why is everyone willing to gather around me?" Li Cheng颐 was also puzzled.

"Actually, the reason is very simple. It's not that they can't, but that they are unwilling." Xindela took a few steps forward, looking up at the night sky.

"Just as you said, Rainbow Candy and Da Xiong both have the ability and strength to serve as leaders. But why don't they?"

"Because... of personality?"

"Yes, because they don't want to, they are unwilling. And you are the reason, the core, for them to gather together." Xindela sighed slightly.

"The most important thing a leader needs is not strength, but responsibility and foresight!"

"In one event after another, you have shown responsibility. Faced with difficulties and strong enemies, you were the first to rush out, support the overall situation, and finally turn defeat into victory! This is your responsibility."

"In the process of tracking down the Dead Angle clues, you can constantly correct the direction, ensure that the team is on the right path, and constantly find new progress and clues. This is your foresight!"

Xindela's words made Li Cheng颐 thoughtful.

"Actually, I just think that the weak should not become a drag on the team, so I need to ensure that I am not weak...." He frowned slightly. "Then, how can I become a successful and powerful leader? When I was in Dark City, I discovered many traces of Leann. There is no doubt that his strength is not as good as mine, but in comprehensive aspects, in terms of being a leader, he is stronger than me! If he had my strength... he would definitely do better than me!"

"Leann is a very charismatic person, he always gives people a kind of warmth and hope." Xindela said with a little nostalgia, "No matter what difficulties he encountered, he always had a smile on his face. But he has his path, and you have your path. You are inherently two different individuals."

"Powerful and successful leaders should have something in common, right?" Li Cheng颐 asked seriously.

"Of course." Xindela nodded. "A truly powerful leader, someone who can stand tall, must have several common characteristics. These should become your goals for the future."

"Is it leadership? Aggregation? Eloquence?" Li Cheng颐 guessed.

"No, these are not the basics." Xindela shook his head.

He held up his index finger.

"The first step for a successful and powerful leader is to..."

"Reduce weaknesses!"

"Reduce weaknesses?"

"That's right. The most basic thing for a person to become a leader is to first ensure that they themselves can stand tall!"
