Wrap It up and Go Home

"Peak's stuff isn't enough? What about theirs and Chaoyang's combined together?"

Hand in hand, Yun Che and Xing Feng stood side by side, looking at Jiang Wanshan. After discerning Yun Che's purpose, Xing Feng and Mo Wenyang decided to take the trip. Although they weren't sure how Yun Che led things to this, this was actually a one-in-a-million opportunity, if they didn't grasp it, they would be idiots or too stupid to compete with the other two armies.

"Uh…"

Jiang Wanshan didn't know what to say. No one else would be eligible if the mighty Chaoyang and the mysterious Peak combined together weren't enough. In that case, things would be out of the authorities' hand.

No one here was stupid, everybody knew about Chaoyang's background and their buddy, Mo Army. And Chaoyang's partner would be Peak, a lean but powerful squad, even the girl, Zhan Yafei was tougher than most captains. All who used to join Peak's quests knew that they had a large amount of supplies. They could still remember the supermarkets and malls during the trip to the provincial capital city. They heard that because Yun Che's Space was boundless, he had emptied all the supermarkets and malls. The total amount would be beyond everybody's imagination.

Up to this point, no one dared to question Yun Che's words. He was threatening the authorities.

The superfunction possessors looked at Yun Che with more admiration and respect in their eyes. This was the real man who had the gut to challenge the authorities, even the military. He did live up to his name, the leader of the superfunction possessor community. Too bad he wasn't willing to be the chairman, otherwise, the Superfunction Association could have been the fifth force in Southwest Base.

"Don't pull a long face, Mr. Jiang, I'm not trying to give you a hard time. You deliver what I said word by word to the higher office, and add this, we superfunction possessors aren't pushovers, don't try to fool us around."

After that, Yun Che turned around and didn't say another word to Jiang Wanshan. He spoke to the crowd after making eye contact with Xing Feng. "Anyway, I'm partially responsible for whatever has happened to Superfunction Association, and I'm sorry that you'll have no quest to do in the following days. Any registered superfunction squad or individual superfunction possessor, please come to claim the subsidy that I'll personally take out of my own pocket in the afternoon in Chaoyang community. Take a few days off, when the chairman is decided, the Superfunction Association will be rebuilt, we'll be doing quests thereafter. And enough of strolling in the towns and villages, it's time for us to have fun downtown."

He thought that if the higher authority didn't want to upset the entire superfunction possessor community, they would agree to an election, but Wei and Wang Army and the government wouldn't stay put in the coming couple of days. The most useful approach would be bribing the superfunction possessors, prodding them into voting for the person that they wanted them to vote for, also, drawing a bright picture. It wouldn't matter if it could come true or not, the most important thing was to ensure that Mo Wenyang got the chairman position. Most squads wouldn't care about the subsidy. The top 20 squads weren't those who were on the breadline. The first part of his sentence was kind of meaningless, the second part was the key. Where would people get the most supplies? Downtown, of course. Currently, there were only two squads, Peak and Chaoyang, that were capable of going back from the cities safe and sound. The three military squads might be able to come back alive but zero casualties were quite unlikely.

"Supplies? Come on, Captain Yun. We'll just take a few days off, it's like a short vacation."

"Yeah, Captain Yun, you don't have to subsidize us. We aren't in the same squad, but we're in the same superfunction possessor community. How can we take your stuff?"

"Right, right, plus, it wasn't your fault anyway. The Doomsday Shura is gone, the Superfunction Association is still there, the Association should compensate us. We can't take your stuff."

"Captain Yun is the real man…"

The superfunction possessors all declined Yun Che's offer after getting what he was saying. The subsidy was far too little compared to the lucrative trips downtown. In fact, it would be embarrassing if they did take Yun Che's stuff. Some superfunction possessors were a bit slower than the smart ones, but they came around soon. Anyone with a sensible mind would understand that long-term sustainable resources would be far more valuable than short-term interest. Compared with Yun Che's promise, the subsidy was nothing.

The members of Overlord Flower, Sky Challengers, Incense listened to the talks with a heavy heart. Yun Che was so slick, he knew precisely what people wanted. Also, he had a good reputation among the superfunction possessors, it would be too difficult for them to defeat Mo Army in the election, unless they chose to give it all out. But that didn't seem to be the original idea.

"Hehe, OK, I won't prepare the stuff, then. Just come to us if you need anything. We're off."

Now that the goal had been achieved, Yun Che wouldn't want to waste more time here. He walked out of the crowd with Xing Feng. The superfunction possessors made way and said goodbye to them. They both nodded and smiled at everybody in silence. Gu Mingxuan touched his nose, he couldn't help but feel their presence didn't really make a difference. Xing Feng almost fled after getting Che's idea. What a submissive guardian beast.

"Che, we aren't going home. I'll take Xu out to learn the roads and collect crystal nuclei since we got nothing better to do."

Before they left, Zhou Zeyu said so on behalf of everybody. They didn't care about the rewards, nor did they care if there was any quest. They had been doing quests for points. Yes, Peak was powerful, but the ranking was also important.

"Yeah, OK. Collect as many supplies as you can, too. I'm tired already, I won't go with you."

Yun Che nodded. In the past, if he didn't go to quests with the gang, his people would give all the stuff to the other squads apart from the quest-required items. Now that they got another space superfunction possessor, they could be collecting the supplies during quests. The supplies weren't essential, but they could come in handy as "bribery".

"All right, I got it."

After waving hands, the guys got into the Land Cruiser and left. They weren't going downtown, so they wouldn't encounter too many level-3 zombies. All the crystal nuclei they'd been collecting were low-level ones. Yun Cheng wasn't a picky eater before, but now he ate only level-3 ones. The good news being, some squads or superfunction possessors in the base needed more level-1 or level-2 crystal nuclei than level-3 ones, so Peak could swap with them. They would collect every crystal nucleus they could get.

"You messed up our plan altogether. Now that Wei and Wang and the government haven't gained anything here, they won't give the lab away so easily."

In the luxury RV, Yun Che kicked back. Xing Feng shook head at him. What he said sounded serious, but the look on his face suggested otherwise.

"Even if I didn't cut in, they wouldn't have given in easily. I knew it couldn't be easy, so why don't I get hold of what I can get. It's been a tough day, Major General Mo has to make it up to me. I even gave myself out for his stupid chairman job. Damn."

Yun Che sighed in the end as if he did have suffered a great loss. Xing Feng was amused, though, because he knew Yun Che too well. He pulled Yun Che close and lay on his lap. Gu Ming immediately sat straight and put all his attention on the road. He wished he could set this love-showing couple on fire.

"What on earth happened? How many squads are on our side now?"

Asked Xing Feng seemingly casually when his finger stroke Yun Che's temple. With the information he had in hand, he was 90% sure of Yun Che's means and purpose.

"Joy and Loser. Don't blame me, they basically offered the chance to me, so I might as well take it."

Yun Che assumed that the high-ranking officials in the military couldn't be that stupid. Most likely, they had only ordered these four squads to try to befriend with superfunction possessors and undermine Peak and Chaoyang's reputation among superfunction possessors. Luo Huai's hesitant and discreet action was the best proof. Much as the office had made the right decision, the guys who actually did the job were a bunch of idiots. They basically ruined the beautiful plan.

"Hehe. Wei Kan and Wang Wei would be furious if they could hear you."

What Doomsday Shura did wasn't a total mistake, they were just rushed, too eager to prove themselves through the ranking. It would have been perfect if they had topped Peak. That was why they prevented all the other squads from earning points through quests with every means, and ended up incurring the hate and grudge. Maybe they took Joy lightly because they only had about 100 people and the trust of thousands of other superfunction possessors was far more important. But what they failed to take into consideration was, only the squads at the top of the ranking chart got to lead the public opinion.

And what they did with Peak was, they just wanted to test the water, or else Luo Huai would have stopped that space superfunction possessor from provoking Peak at once. Unfortunately, they misjudged Yun Che and underestimated the rest of Peak, and got themselves screwed up.

"I wished they could get so furious that they would have a seizure and die. Heiyu, can you stop eating. You're making annoying noises."

Looking back at the puppy who was ripping off the wrapping paper of the energy bar, Yun Che scowled at him and rolled his eyes. Ever since he mentioned the manufacturing machine to Heiyu, the dog stopped saving the energy bars. Whenever Heiyu wasn't speaking, he was chewing his energy bars somewhere, showing no grandeur of the god beast at all.

"What else can I do? Watch two dudes have a relationship and get myself disgusted? I have never seen anyone like you two before, do you mind not showing off your love in public? You've got a god beast and a single man here.

After devouring the rest of the energy bar, Heiyu rubbed his belly with satisfaction, wearing a disgusted look on the face. Gu Mingxuan sadly was implied again.

"Are you disgusted to death? Well, we can be sweeter."

Yun Che closed his heavy eyes after giving Heiyu a glare. Maybe it was too comfortable sitting in the cruiser, he kind of wanted to sleep. It had been a really tiring morning.

"Not really. It's not that easy to screw me up. Tell you what? I'm…"

"Heiyu!"

Yun Che just made a joke, Heiyu actually took it seriously. Right before he tried to make a speech, Xing Feng hushed him in a low, quick voice and pointed his finger at Yun Che. Heiyu rolled his little eyes. As Yun Che's breaths eased down, Heiyu shut up and lied down on the seat opposite Yun Che. He would have followed Leng Yehan to kill zombies if he had known it would be this boring. "How about I go play with Chenchen when we're home or… No, I'll hang out with Chaoyang guys. OK, good, that's decided."
