Chapter 178 Gathering

After hanging up, Li Cheng颐 once again felt fortunate that he had chosen Xindela as his boss. This level of support, to say nothing else, involved a stream of pure, white money being thrown out without any expectation of return.

Which capitalist could spend so lavishly?

After making the last call, he finally had some peace.

He plopped down on the sofa and began to carefully consider what to say and do when they met later.

A team, built from scratch, must be centered around his framework and his operational convenience. But this would inevitably affect other members.

How to persuade others, or rather, how to minimize this impact and prevent the team from getting bogged down in internal friction, was the key.

"Let's start with the hacker aspect. The boss is gone, so hacking is the priority. Otherwise, let alone anything else, I definitely won't be able to transform into the Evil Flower. The city is full of cameras. Without someone to help cover me, even a brief collection of traces and entry/exit times would be enough to determine my real identity."

Li Cheng颐 knew how much the boss had helped him. Many things went unsaid by the boss, but that didn't mean he wasn't aware.

He sat and pondered for a while. Soon, the doorbell at the botanical garden's gate rang. Li Cheng颐 quickly called Old Li at the entrance and told him to let them in.

A few minutes later.

Three cars entered the parking lot below the small building in succession.

A white SUV, a bright red bat-winged sports car, and a gray "old-man happy scooter." People emerged from each vehicle.

Li Cheng颐 walked onto the balcony and looked down.

Two very hairy, burly men got out of the SUV. Their hair was disheveled, with large beards, and they were bare-chested, exposing their chest hair. These two were at least 1.9 meters tall, dressed in camouflage fatigues, clearly foreigners. A small, white-skinned girl with twin ponytails got out of the red sports car.

The black ponytails were braided into two long, thin pigtails, like two antennae, curving down from either side of her head. "Like cockroaches..."

That was Li Cheng颐's first impression of the girl.

The twin-tailed girl wore a black, off-the-shoulder lace dress, which was very form-fitting, but her clearly meager figure made the tight fit meaningless.

The only consolation was that she was very pale, the exposed shoulders and facial skin glowing white. This paleness also highlighted her cherry-red lips, like small cherries.

A relatively shy, short-haired girl got out of the car with the twin-tailed girl. Her shoulder-length hair and curved eyebrows gave her a petite and gentle aura.

Although not as beautiful as the twin-tailed girl, she was still considered lovely. Li Cheng颐 shifted his gaze to the last vehicle, the "old-man happy scooter."

The contrast of this small car was so great that the people inside immediately attracted the attention of the first two groups. Two people got out of the "old-man happy scooter."

One was thin, and the other was fat. Both were boys, not very old, at most in their early twenties.

The thin one had a gentle appearance, wearing a blue and white tracksuit, carrying a basket... a basket of eggs and cured meat.

The fat one wore a faded yellow shirt and gray athletic shorts, with a dark red mohawk on his head. His hands were in his pockets, his expression was cold, and he seemed indifferent to the powerful auras of the other two groups.

The three groups exchanged glances and quickly headed towards the small building.

Li Cheng颐 stood on the balcony and glanced back at his room's living room, confirming that the living room simply couldn't accommodate so many people.

He simply flipped over the balcony and jumped lightly.

His whole body fell straight down from the third floor, landing on the ground with a thud.

Amid the muffled impact, he rolled to dissipate the force, then got up nimbly, dusting off his clothes.

Although Li Cheng颐 also reached out and grabbed the windowsills during his fall to reduce the gravity and cushion the impact, his entrance of jumping directly from the third floor still stunned the three groups present. There was a moment of silence.

The twin-tailed girl was the first to speak. "Netizen Cheng Yi?"

Her big eyes, adorned with colorful makeup, stared intently at Li Cheng颐. From this angle, you could see some star-like silver glitter painted under the corners of her eyes.

"That's right." Li Cheng颐 nodded seriously. "I'm Cheng Yi, the netizen who just arranged to meet you."

"Pureblood?" One of the bearded, hairy brothers, a brown-bearded man, stepped forward and asked in broken Ying country language.

"Not much." Li Cheng颐 admitted.

Gene potion, without that, it would be really hard to explain how he got this enhanced body. Now that there's the pureblood route, he can totally cover it up by saying he secretly took medicine.

Hiss...

Hearing the response, everyone was immediately in awe.

Pureblood Zhimeng师... It requires a high level of willpower. Because body modification is really difficult, requiring a lot of investment, injecting a lot of things into the body, and then extreme training to ensure that the compatibility with the Fei Yi remains unchanged.

The effort involved was the subject of a special exposé some time ago.

Ordinary people may not be able to find this information, but the people present were all veterans who had survived more than one corner of death and were no longer as simple as ordinary people.

No one who can survive in the desperate situation of the dead corner is ordinary.

"The space upstairs isn't big, let's just chat here." Li Cheng颐 said directly.

"I'm forming a small team of three to five people, with the main purpose of helping each other. I need hackers and logistics. If you're strong in other areas and have outstanding strengths, I'm not absolutely against it."

He now vaguely understood how much market value his strong willpower had on the outside. So now it was his turn to make demands.

"I'm Rainbow Candy, and she's my teammate, Da Xiong. I'm good at network security, and she's good at logistics. Choosing us is the most suitable!" The twin-tailed girl, unsurprisingly, was indeed the netizen Rainbow Candy.

"If it's network security, I can do it too." The black-bearded brother on the side walked out and said in a deep voice.

"I'm a member of the Sinit International Federation. Before I joined, I worked in several large companies and was recognized as a network security expert in the industry."

"As for logistics, it depends on what you need. My brother used to be a tour guide, and he's best at arranging routes and ensuring accommodation and food."

At the end, he seemed to remember that he hadn't introduced himself.

"Um, our online name is Emperor-Level Refugees. We both use one. I'm the older brother, and he's the younger brother," the black-bearded man introduced.

Relatively speaking, these two brothers seemed very reliable. They also gave a strong sense of trust. Li Cheng颐 smiled friendly at them, then turned his attention to the last two people.

These two, one fat and one thin, both dressed in a strong country style. But the more they were like this, the more everyone dared not underestimate them.

Because a country style represents ignorance, and driving an "old-man happy scooter" represents poverty.

So, the question is.

What did the two skinny and fat guys, who are likely to be ignorant and poor, rely on to survive in the crisis-ridden dead corner until now?

Seeing everyone's attention focused on them. The skinny man smiled shyly and took a step forward.

"My online name is Rural Trident. I'm definitely not good at network security. But, I'm very confident in logistics."

The fat man behind him patted his chest, shaking his red mohawk.

"I'm with him. My online name is Abyssal Farmhouse. You can call me Chicken Bro. I know a thing or two about network security."

These two people's self-introductions were simple, but they left a deep impression on everyone else.

Pfft.

Rainbow Candy suddenly couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"What kind of online names are you two? You look so poor, how can you still be alive? Are you deliberately pretending to be poor?"

"Being poor doesn't mean I don't have the ability to make money." Rural Trident smiled gently. "I like the countryside, I like peace and quiet. As for money, if it's gone, I'll just get some more. Enough is enough."

"That's right, just get some more. Anyone who passes through our village, once they enter my farmhouse, don't even think about leaving alive." The mohawked fat man patted his chest.

"Abyssal Farmhouse... You're probably the one who runs the black shop... Zhenyang Chicken Bro?!" The black-bearded man on the side suddenly reacted, seeming to remember something. His eyes widened, and he stared intently at the mohawked fat man.

"So, what you mean by 'get some more' is just going up and robbing people..." Rainbow Candy was speechless. She had also heard the legend of Zhenyang Chicken Bro, but she didn't expect to meet the real person here.

Li Cheng颐 was also a little dumbfounded.

Everyone in front of him seemed to be very awesome, but he couldn't possibly take them all.

"There are a few too many people. More will be coming later. If you don't mind, I'd like to choose the most powerful network security expert among you." He said sincerely.

"Then let's have a match," the black-bearded Emperor-Level Refugee said indifferently.

"I don't have the equipment here. It's too expensive to buy," Li Cheng颐 said honestly.

"I have my own," the black-bearded man waved his hand. www.

"I have a supercomputer at home. It's worth it to pick me!" Rainbow Candy crossed her arms, trying to squeeze out some curves.

"You're all great. All I can do is make sure that Tianyan can't find me," Abyssal Farmhouse scratched his head.

"Then... let's have a match?" Li Cheng颐 blinked. He suddenly felt that happiness had come too suddenly. "What's the topic?" Rainbow Candy looked at him. "You're a national treasure, so you get to decide."

"It's like this. A friend of mine accidentally offended a local force, a family behind a local association member. So, let's take their personal information as the target. Within an hour, whoever can quickly locate all their members will win."

"If everyone can do it, then we'll see who's the fastest and most accurate."

"I can't do this," Abyssal Farmhouse said somewhat disappointedly. "Looks like it's not going to work."

"It's okay, we just came to try our luck. Let's just treat it as a vacation," Rural Trident on the side comforted him.

"Then it'll be a match between the two of us," the black-bearded man looked at Rainbow Candy, his eyes serious.

"Idiot, you think it's just you? Look over there!" Rainbow Candy pointed a finger. Everyone looked towards the entrance, where groups of people were constantly coming in.

These people were all dressed in highly personalized ways, some even dressed strangely or in clothing of the opposite sex. Obviously, the dead corner was the best place to express individuality.

Anyone who went in would want to indulge themselves.

"It's okay, the more the merrier," Li Cheng颐 smiled. "Anyway, I just want the strongest..."
