Strange Flower Danmu

The tense two days of the college entrance examination quickly passed. Bai Ge relied on his genuine abilities; after all, knowledge absorbed into his brain was truly his.

During the last English exam on the second day, Bai Ge finished the paper early.

Bored, he pretended to check his answers, but in reality, he closed his eyes, propped his head up, and let his thoughts sink into his brain hole.

"The final fruit... almost ready..."

At this moment, Bai Ge was designing a stunningly beautiful yellow, exotic flower in his mind. The materials were various plants and herbs he had bought from the flower market after finishing his exams yesterday.

He was actually secretly studying his abilities in the exam hall. Of course, no one would discover his brain hole; at most, they'd think he was dozing off.

"This flower I've made is probably the most beautiful flower in the world."

The idea of a super processing plant wasn't impossible to achieve.

Since modifying real-world materials consumed energy, he couldn't pursue quantity but only quality.

Scarcity makes things valuable. For the same amount of consumption, instead of making a pile of crafts, it would be better to create something unique and strange that doesn't exist in reality.

If he brought in steel bars and rare earth elements, even if the things Bai Ge created were extremely beautiful, they would at most have artistic value. How much could they be worth?

Diamonds, however, were worth something. He made a few, but they looked a bit cloudy. Clearly, he hadn't yet mastered this kind of shaping to the level of molecular structure.

Plants were different. After decomposing them and removing their souls, he could control them and combine them as he pleased, creating a seemingly brand-new plant.

Moreover, he firmly believed that what others didn't have was the most valuable.

"Done, Danmu!"

At this moment, a very beautiful flower floated in his brain hole.

The petals were golden yellow, the stem deep red, straight and long, with dense roots. It had sixteen petals, resembling an orchid but with a large fruit.

In the center of the flower was a vermilion fruit, round and crystal clear, like a drop of blood.

This was the product of Bai Ge extracting various medicinal herbs and processing and shaping them in his brain hole world.

The design was based on 'Danmu,' from the Classic of Mountains and Seas. It was an exotic flower from the Western Mountains Classic, and the vermilion fruit in the center, when eaten, could grant fire resistance.

This appearance didn't exist in reality; searching the entire world, one wouldn't find such a uniquely beautiful flower.

"It's a shame that once I bring it out, besides its appearance, reality won't acknowledge anything else. Sigh."

Bai Ge admired the Danmu. He had endowed the Danmu with many characteristics, and coupled with its real-world material basis, it could be said that this flower was the ultimate divine item in the universe of his brain hole.

However, in reality, it could only be sold as a beautiful flower.

"I wonder how much it will sell for. I've heard of flowers selling for millions. People who truly love flowers, upon seeing such a marvelous plant, would surely be willing to pay a high price."

As soon as time was up, Bai Ge immediately handed in his paper.

The college entrance examination was over, and he couldn't wait to find a wealthy buyer for this flower.

Bai Ge walked out of the examination hall with a relaxed expression.

Bai Ge looked around. A large group of students were complaining to their parents with worried faces.

They all grumbled that the exam questions were incredibly difficult and all obscure.

And he couldn't wait to promote the exotic flower from his brain hole.

To sell flowers, one would normally go to a flower market.

However, Bai Ge knew that if he went there, no one would offer a high price for his exotic flower.

Fortunately, when he was looking for new clients, he had investigated many wealthy individuals.

Although he didn't know everything, he had a slight understanding of the interests and hobbies of many rich people.

Suddenly, he thought of someone. If it were that person, they would definitely offer a high price.

"I should find Manager Chen; I need him to introduce me."

Bai Ge walked out of the school and called Manager Chen as soon as he got into the car.

After the other party answered, Bai Ge didn't mention the flower. Instead, he first asked about the follow-up to their last task.

For twenty thousand yuan, Bai Ge had helped Manager Chen steal an equity agreement worth tens of millions.

He had kept this matter in mind, always wanting to quickly wrap things up.

"Manager Chen, can those things be retrieved now?"

Then, a voice from the other end of the phone said, "Oh, Xiao Bai. Your information is still so well-informed... Haha, come over. I'm at Hu Hanlong's house right now. No... this is my house from now on."

Bai Ge was stunned. Hu Hanlong was the person whose company he had stolen from last time. He hadn't expected Manager Chen to buy the villa.

Clearly, Hu Hanlong's business had encountered major problems because of his task last time.

"Okay, I'll be there immediately."

After hanging up the phone, Bai Ge immediately rushed to Huangjia Garden.

This time, he didn't need to avoid cameras. He directly entered Hu Hanlong's house.

As expected, this place was already Manager Chen's property.

As soon as he arrived, a plump, round man with a smiling face greeted him, accompanied by a bodyguard.

The so-called Manager Chen, named Chen Song, ran a construction company and was quite wealthy. However, Bai Ge had secretly investigated and found that Chen Song owed the bank a hundred million in loans.

His wife had once conspired with his brother to cheat him out of his business. It was Bai Ge who had proactively informed Chen Song about this, which led to their acquaintance, and he gradually became an old client.

"Little Bai, you did a good job last time, and I already paid you the final installment, so we're even. But I know you like to finish what you start, so don't worry. To prevent any mishaps, I specifically bought this villa. I've cleared out everything for you to install your equipment," Chen Song said with a smile.

Bai Ge understood the man and knew that buying this villa was definitely taking advantage of the situation, likely at a very low price.

He had been researching brain holes these past few days and had forgotten to investigate Hu Hanlong's situation. But he figured he must have already collapsed.

"Then thank you for your thoughtfulness, Manager Chen. May I see the equipment that was cleared out?" Bai Ge asked with a smile.

Chen Song was taken aback and said, "I've already had people dispose of it. What? You don't believe me?"

After speaking, his expression turned cold.

He was feeling proud and confident now, no longer the mess Bai Ge had met him in. He wanted to show off his authority.

Bai Ge quickly smiled and said, "How could I not believe you? It's just..."

As he spoke, he suddenly walked over to a painting and reached out, taking a listening device from it.

"It's just that your people probably didn't get everything."

Chen Song's face stiffened. Seeing the listening device in Bai Ge's hand, he glared fiercely at the bodyguard.

The bodyguard looked wronged and quickly explained, "I didn't mean to! It's just that some of them couldn't be found..."

Chen Song roared in anger, "It was on the painting, so obvious, and you couldn't find it? And you lied to me saying you found them all!"

Bai Ge smiled and said to the bodyguard, "Excuse me, how many did you find?"

The things he hid were not easily found. He figured this bodyguard must have searched for a long time and couldn't find several, so he claimed to have found them all to get the job done.

Indeed, the bodyguard said, "There are still six cameras... and I didn't find any listening devices."

Upon hearing the bodyguard's words, Chen Song became furious and cursed the bodyguard. Then, he realized that he still needed Bai Ge.

After all, cameras were relatively easy to find; one could identify the angle of the shot from surveillance footage.

In this situation, with six still missing, it was enough to prove how secretly Bai Ge had placed them.

When he calmed down, he turned his head and found Bai Ge had already made a full circuit of the room, holding six cameras and twelve listening devices in his hands.

Bai Ge had found all the remaining equipment.

Chen Song quickly softened his tone again, "You're really amazing! My people are far from your level, they're all useless."

Bai Ge smiled, "You're too kind, we all have our specialties!"

Chen Song shook his head, "Honestly, I owe a lot of my success to you. I don't have anyone around me who can do the kind of work you do. Why don't you work for me? I can give you two million a year!"

"I get paid for what I do. I don't accept long-term employment, sorry," Bai Ge refused decisively.

Chen Song's expression darkened, feeling a bit annoyed, but he restrained himself.

Although he had managed to drag Bai Ge into his mess last time, making Bai Ge no longer entirely clean, he also knew that Bai Ge knew even more about him. It was unrealistic to threaten or control Bai Ge.

"Sigh, think it over. You can always find me," Chen Song said, disappointed.

Bai Ge smiled, "I didn't expect to be valued so highly. Actually, I came here hoping Manager Chen could introduce me to some major clients."

Hearing Bai Ge say this, Chen Song knew his idea of taking Bai Ge under his wing was even more remote.

However, he still smiled, "Actually, I've mentioned you to a few friends, but I didn't tell them your name or contact information. Since you've said so, I can introduce you."

Bai Ge understood what was going on.

Chen Song had always intended to recruit Bai Ge and naturally didn't mention Bai Ge's name to others, lest they hire him away.

But now, it seemed he had given up on that and decided to maintain a good relationship with Bai Ge instead.

Bai Ge asked, "Manager Chen, do you know... Luo Wendi?"

Chen Song was startled, "You want to meet Young Master Luo? I can only speak to him with some effort, and I can't give you his number. He'll have to contact you himself."

Bai Ge pondered, "Please tell him that I have a rare flower for him to admire."

"A rare flower?" Chen Song countered, "I've never heard of Young Master Luo being fond of flowers."

"Luo Wendi indeed doesn't care for flowers and plants, but he has twice purchased rare orchid varieties at high prices. Someone who doesn't love flowers doing this can only mean... there is someone very important to him who loves rare flowers and plants," Bai Ge said.

Chen Song was stunned and sighed, "It seems you're very well-prepared. And it's true, back then I didn't even know my brother and my ex-wife... betrayed me, but you knew... Sigh."

He then added, "What kind of rare flower is it that makes you so confident you can get close to him?"

Bai Ge smiled, "This flower is one of a kind, the only one in the world!"
