Family of Freaks

"Duh, of course not."

It wasn't possible for anyone's coercion to produce a blasting effect.

Yun Che and Leng Yehan also had their mouths wide open in shock. It was natural for them to react this way, since Yun Cheng was usually like an innocent, pure child, and they weren't used to him suddenly showing his prowess. But come to think of it, even level-3 zombies had powerful superfunction attributes, let alone Yun Cheng? How could he not show his fighting prowess when he really flew into a rage?

"I suppose that was Cheng's superfunction attribute?"

Although he wasn't very sure either, he was very happy that his younger brother had such abilities, for at least he didn't have to worry about him being bullied. Nonetheless, he felt a little sympathetic towards his brother's future opponents. Wouldn't they explode into pieces if he did the same thing again?

"Should I say you brothers are freaks?"

After finally calming down, Xing Feng turned his head and looked at him with an ambiguous smile. To think that they were always so protective of Yun Cheng. He didn't need anyone to protect him given his combat abilities!

"Exactly, Master. Your family is full of freaks, and Chenchen is also a little freak. Luckily you have only one younger brother and one nephew, or others are gonna suffer."

Heiyu made use of the opportunity to roast him. Yun Che turned to look at them one after another before suddenly curling his lips into a smile, "I'll take that to mean that you two are jealous."

Only Yun Che would say such shameless words so calmly. Xing Feng smiled, thinking that his shamelessness was exactly what he liked about him.

"I've never seen anyone more shameless than you, Master. Your narcissism is freaking unprecedented in history. You are the first and only, and even I feel embarrassed comparing myself to you."

Heiyu thought that he was really modest compared to his master.

"You should call this self-confidence!"

Yun Che still sounded very calm, and Heiyu was rendered speechless by his shamelessness. Although he found it difficult to define what self-confidence was, he felt that his master had already transitioned from self-confidence to narcissism no matter how he looked at it. He had seen on the Internet that a person would suddenly feel enlightened once he decided to be shameless. He would feel no pressure doing or saying things that he previously didn't dare to, and might even receive applause if lucky. The way he saw it, his master fitted the description.

"Cheng!"

After being stunned for a moment, Leng Yehan who was at the other side ran over to hold Yun Cheng and took a good look at him, "Are you okay? Are you hurt? Tell us if you feel any pain."

Even the usually calm Leng Yehan started rambling when he got worried, and became disoriented when it came to things concerning Yun Cheng, so much so that he had even forgotten that Yun Cheng couldn't feel any pain. Although he could feel something after taking the Heart of Trees and was able to sense something when being touched or kissed, he still couldn't feel any pain.

"I'm not okay."

Yun Cheng pouted unhappily, giving Leng Yehan a shock, "Where? Show me."

"My clothes are dirty."

"Ermm…"

Leng Yehan was immediately dumbstruck, and was unable to collect himself even after a long while. Yun Che went up to them and smiled helplessly, "It's okay. I'll get you new clothes to change into after we settle the mutant tree."

Yun Cheng was too much of a clean freak, and Leng Yehan was getting a nervous breakdown from it.

"Is that the one?"

Yun Cheng frowned unhappily before turning and suddenly pointing at a huge elm tree at the side with green and round elm fruits growing on it. Although there were a few other thick trees next to it that looked like mutant trees, it should be the one that attacked them earlier on.

"Yes! What are you doing? Be careful…"

"Bang boommm…"

Immediately after Yun Che nodded, Yun Cheng walked over and placed his hands on the tree trunk. With everyone staring in shock, the huge elm tree produced a series of loud noise as its hard outer bark fell off.

"Boomm…"

The whole tree exploded into pieces and collapsed in less than a minute, and a dark pink tree heart the size of a goose egg appeared at the crack. Smelling something familiar, Yun Cheng grabbed the tree heart and ran back, "Brother, can I eat this?"

His fair and handsome face was filled with desire as he had felt really good after eating something similar previously. He always wanted to eat more of it and didn't expect to see it here.

"Yeah…errmm…you can."

Yun Che, who was still in shock, stammered and nodded as he wondered exactly how powerful Cheng was. It had taken dozens of them the whole day to deal with a level-2 mutant tree previously, but he had actually gotten the heart of this level-3 mutant tree in less than a minute this time. It seemed like their combat abilities weren't of the same level!

But then again, since Yun Cheng's inner ability was at least level-6 to 7, a level-3 mutant tree to him was just like a level-0 zombie to them, so it was probably normal for him to deal with it without much effort?

"Brother, can you help me wash it? Brother?"

After taking a look at the Heart of Trees and his brother, Yun Cheng handed him the Heart of Trees, but Yun Che didn't respond to him immediately. Yun Cheng tilted his head and looked at Leng Yehan again, wondering what was wrong with his brother.

But Yun Cheng soon realized that other than his brother, even Leng Yehan who could always read his mind didn't seem to hear him asking for help. He then turned to look at Xing Feng, Heiyu and the Wolf King, but he didn't get any response from them either. Yun Cheng was totally confused and didn't understand what was wrong with them.

"Ahem… give it to me."

After a while, Yun Che finally collected himself and stretched out his hand. Yun Cheng immediately put his confusion behind and happily handed him the tree heart, while not forgetting to request, "Brother, I wanna change my clothes, they're dirty!"

"No biggie, Cheng, but shall we do that later? There are still so many mutant trees around."

Yun Che had decided to make use of his younger brother. One of his purposes for this trip was to collect the tree hearts, and since Yun Cheng was so powerful, wouldn't it be a waste if he didn't make use of him?

"Do they also have this pinkish egg?"

Yun Cheng asked innocently, pointing to the tree heart in his hand.

"Yes, every mutant tree has it."

"Okay, leave it to me, brother."

With that said, Yun Cheng wasn't in a hurry to change his clothes anymore, but instead rolled up his sleeves and walked towards one of the mutant trees, looking like a child who was eager to show his abilities. After recovering from their shock, Xing Feng, Leng Yehan and Heiyu couldn't help but give Yun Che a look of contempt. What kind of older brother was he to make use of his younger brother like this? He was simply treating Yun Cheng as a free blasting tool!

Yun Che, who wasn't at all pressurized by their contemptuous eyes, conveniently threw the tree hearts into the Space and soaked them in the spring water. Absorbing the spring water would increase the vitality of the tree hearts, which would increase the benefit to those who took them. At the same time, Yun Cheng got another tree heart very quickly and threw it over, "Brother, take this!"

"All right!"

The two brothers—one in charge of collecting and the other just had to stand there and wait for the tree hearts to be thrown over—got rid of all the mutant trees within a radius of ten meters in just half an hour. Yun Cheng's superfunction attribute had indeed made him a blaster machine.

"All right, Cheng, that's enough for today. We'll come back again."

Yun Che quickly stopped Yun Cheng when he saw him turning to the next mutant tree. They had already collected more than thirty tree hearts.

"Okay!"

After taking a look at the mutant tree in front of him regretfully, Yun Cheng mumbled, "I'll come for you again."

Luckily the mutant tree couldn't speak, nor was it psychic like a mutant beast. Otherwise, it would probably be trembling with fear after hearing that he was going to come back for it.

"There, go get changed."

After taking out a fully automatic extension tent and setting it up on the ground, Yun Che took out a black sportswear with white stripes and handed it to him. Yun Cheng obediently took the clothes and went into the tent. Seeing Xing Feng, Leng Yehan and Heiyu looking at him, Yun Che let out a sigh, "Seems like the blasting superfunction to me. I know there's such a thing, but this is my first time seeing it."

There were simply too many different types of superfunction attributes. In his previous life, he had seen many strange attributes, such as culinary skill enhancement, and even one where the possessor would smell so bad when nervous that even zombies dared not go near him. The blasting superfunction, like his air superfunction, was also one of the superfunction attributes calculated by scientists. It seemed like there were no real blasting superfunction possessors, or it could be he just hadn't met any of them. After all, those whom he had come into contact with in his previous life were mostly from the bottom of society, so he wouldn't know those that were rare.

"I always thought that Cheng's superfunction attribute was strength enhancement."

Leng Yehan turned his gaze to the swishing tent again. They all knew that Yun Cheng was very strong.

"Could he be a double-attribute superfunction possessor?"

Xing Feng raised a reasonable doubt, but Yun Che shook his head and said with certainty, "No, have you forgotten that even ordinary zombies are very strong, let alone Cheng? I think his strength is just what normal zombies have."

Xing Feng and Leng Yehan both nodded after hearing what he said. Not only were zombies strong, level-3 zombies even had increased speed and agility, which would probably increase further as their level got higher.

"Master, Cheng's blasting superfunction is much more powerful than your thunder superfunction. Do you want to take him with you when you go on quests next time?"

Wouldn't they then be able to look cool and powerful anytime, anywhere? Heiyu was elated thinking about it, but luckily no one could tell that a dog was laughing madly from his expression.

"Nonsense, are we even of the same level?"

Yun Che shot him a dirty look before looking around, and his gaze suddenly fixed on a few black dots on the opposite side of the cliff. He brought up the air panel and saw that there were indeed many tiny blue spots in the corresponding positions, two of which were level-3, the rest were level-2, and none were level-1 and level-0.

"What's wrong?"

Xing Feng, who noticed his unusual behavior, followed his gaze and saw that there seemed to be a few huge caves on the opposite cliff. There were also things moving at the entrance of the caves and he soon understood what they were. Xing Feng then looked back at him, unconsciously curling his lips.

"Brother, I'm done."

After finally changing into clean clothes, Yun Cheng got out of the tent and handed his soiled clothes to Yun Che before looking at him with eager eyes. Knowing what he was eyeing on, Yun Che smiled helplessly and said, "All right, the tree hearts have a great effect on you. It'll be disastrous if you don't react well to them. Eat them when we get back, okay?"

The tree hearts would all be his anyway. If the tree hearts could replace crystal nuclei to give him strength, they could just bring him into the mountains often since it didn't require him much effort to collect them anyway.

"Okay."

Since he had no tree hearts to eat, Yun Cheng took out a level-3 crystal nucleus from his pocket and started biting it. It was better than nothing, and luckily he always carried them with him.

"By the way, Cheng, when did you learn how to do the…explosion? Are you able to control it?"

Yun Che suddenly asked as they walked to the entrance of the cliff. The blasting superfunction was indeed very powerful, but it would be disastrous if he accidentally injured their own people. He had no wish to help his family members piece their corpses together someday. He knew he was reading too much into it, but he couldn't rule out this possibility since Cheng was an exceptional case.
