Wasteland Border Inspector - Chapter 909

Chapter 909: Chapter 292: Enhanced Rewards, Special Dual Superpowers!

“But Yiyi’s superpower is real! Could it have come from your grandfather or father?” Luo Xiaoxue asked urgently.

If they can’t even trace the source of the superpower, it would be even more difficult to solve the potential risks Yiyi faces.

“No way, my grandfather and father are both ordinary people, as ordinary as they can get.”

Liu Bi assured her, then comforted, “Maybe your uncle didn’t make things clear back then, or maybe there are other unexpected situations. Don’t worry yet. The superpower itself won’t be fatal. Over the years, I’ve seen too many superpower users, and most lose themselves in their power, meeting an early demise. As long as we keep an eye on Yiyi, and ensure she doesn’t touch strange plants, she’ll be just like any other normal child.”

“Brother B, I have an idea,” Cheng Ye chimed in timely with a suggestion, “If our next fieldwork is in Guang Province, let’s visit Luo You again to thoroughly question him about Sister Luo’s grandfather Luo Feng, especially the name and origin of that ‘artifact.’ I’ve also been investigating recently and found no leads. Perhaps that thing was an extraordinary item from the start, and Luo Feng, trying not to attract attention, deliberately passed it off as an ordinary treasure.”

Liu Bi’s ability to remain calm is undoubtedly the best outcome.

Even if Liu Yi’s superpower awakens quickly, considering the average growth rate of superpower users, it would take another year or two to truly show its power.

Given this time, he doesn’t know how many times he could search or how many beneficial discoveries he could make. Though he might not completely solve the risks, he could at least suppress the side effects of the superpower, ensuring Yiyi can live a normal life.

“Yes, we definitely need to ask Luo You clearly.”

Liu Bi said, turning to look at Luo Xiaoxue, his tone firm, “Besides, when I last went to Guang Province, your uncle was doing quite well; he even opened a large trading company, traveling frequently, saying he wants to gather Luo family members scattered everywhere. It’s been seven years in the blink of an eye, even if he doesn’t know the details from back then, if there are other Luo family members around, gathering some relevant information shouldn’t be hard.”

The so-called concern leads to confusion. As a full-time housewife, Luo Xiaoxue’s mind is focused entirely on Liu Yi. With no one to confide in these days, carrying this worry alone inevitably breeds anxiety.

Now seeing that both her husband and Cheng Ye remain composed and calm, the worry on her face slowly fades, and her smile becomes much more natural.

“Shall I pack up our things, and we move today?” Luo Xiaoxue stood up and asked.

“Okay, you pack up; I’ll chat with Cheng Ye a bit more.” Liu Bi nodded in agreement. As Luo Xiaoxue walked into the kitchen, she began rummaging through a burlap sack to pack miscellaneous items.

Cheng Ye first made a phone call, asking Long to send a few people from the community to help move things.

Then the two of them went downstairs, standing in the open area in front of the building. It was only then that Liu Bi’s expression suddenly changed.

“Cheng Ye, I never told you that Sister Luo’s uncle Luo You is a superpower user…”

“What?” Cheng Ye’s face tightened in genuine surprise, “Luo You has a superpower too? Doesn’t that prove Luo Feng is an extraordinary?”

“Of course he does; otherwise, how could he thrive so well in Guang Province?” Liu Bi paced back and forth, his expression changing, “His reason for searching out those Luo family members is to see if anyone else inherited this kind of superpower and could help expand his business force.”

“Then Yiyi’s superpower awakening…”

“You probably don’t know that inheriting a superpower has its intricacies. It might pass to males but not females or to females but not males. It alters parts of genetic expression, so not every descendant can inherit it. That’s why I didn’t tell you about Sister Luo’s situation.”

Repressing his inner turmoil, Liu Bi continued, “Luo You’s power should lean towards brain enhancement. He can remember everything that happened from childhood to adulthood, with thinking speed rivaling a calculator, single-handedly managing a company of hundreds of people. But according to what you said, Yiyi’s ability clearly leans toward plant alteration, which is fundamentally different from Luo You’s.”

Brain enhancement, rapid thought process?

What kind of ability is this? It sounds quite powerful?

If it could be obtained, wouldn’t learning… and even managing Dapo Town be much easier?

“Not the same superpower?”

After pondering for a few seconds, Cheng Ye couldn’t help but ask again, “Brother B, are you sure your grandfather, your father, that no one in your family was extraordinary?”

“I can vouch for it.” Liu Bi’s tone was very assured, “My grandfather was just a breakfast seller, caught in the chaos as the extraordinary era began, innocently killed. My father was an early inspector, earning merits in the infection tide, and that’s how I got the chance to become an inspector. It has nothing to do with being extraordinary.”

He paused, then added, “If my father were extraordinary, there would definitely be records in the inspection station. Besides, someone extraordinary wouldn’t perish in an infection tide of tide level scale, right, even if not as strong as you are now?”

“Then what are you implying?”

Cheng Ye carefully considered and speculated, “Could it be that the treasure… the extraordinary item that Luo Feng acquired back then wasn’t just one but two, with the possibility of being inherited by both males and females?”

“Very likely, but what’s strange is that Luo You confidently assured me that Luo Feng wasn’t extraordinary; otherwise, he wouldn’t have ventured into the Black Zone again, seeking fortune, only to get lost within it and vanish.”

As he mused, Liu Bi suddenly stopped in his tracks and asked,

“Is there a possibility that Luo Feng didn’t hoard the treasure he found but instead shared it equally among the discoverers and those around him?”

“Or perhaps the extraordinary item he found wasn’t whole, making it impossible to gain that power?”

Hmm?

Why does this sound so familiar?

A thought crossed Cheng Ye’s mind, and for some reason, he suddenly recalled the life blessing, a tier lower than extraordinary.

“If you’re going to Guang Province for fieldwork, Luo You is stationed at the Qinyang Shelter City, not far from Rainbow Light. Once we find him, we’ll be able to clarify this matter and see if any other Luo family members have similar issues!”

“Alright!”
