Chapter 782 - 259: Plant Affinity, Liu Yi’s Mutation! (Part 3)
Fortunately, there is still 10% charging value left, enough for a Lv1 skill search.
He silently recited the instruction "search," and Liu Yi’s detailed panel slowly unfolded.

[Lv1 skill]: Plant affinity, Induction of primary traits
...
"There are two skills!"
Cheng Ye’s gaze swept over them, surprised, he somewhat understood why there were cabbages of different colors.
He casually tapped on the induction of primary traits, added it to the skill bar, and turned back to the bedroom.
Squatting in front of the flower pot, he gently touched those colorful cabbages. With the help of the Vital Rune, he could see the green energy flowing inside the cabbage directly.
And the ability given to him by Tan Ming was to pull out these green light points and convert them into the Blood Shadow Corps through the Withered Rune.
Only after deactivating Tan Ming’s envoy, simply using the induction of primary traits could weakly move the green energy.
After probing for a while, Cheng Ye got up and returned to the living room, contemplated and asked, "Yiyi, your cabbages are really special. When you were planting them, did you purposely think of growing different colors?"
"Yes, yes!" Liu Yi nodded vigorously, her eyes shining, "Yiyi wanted to grow a lot of different colored cabbages to give to friends as gifts!"
The truth revealed.
Cheng Ye raised an eyebrow and turned to Luo Xiaoxue and asked, "Sister Luo, did you or my Brother B have any ancestors who were Extraordinary or Superpower Users?"
"Well..." Luo Xiaoxue furrowed her brow, thinking carefully, "Are you suggesting superpowers could be inherited? There shouldn’t be anyone on your Brother B’s side. But my grandfather did indeed obtain a rare artifact back in his days, though he never became Extraordinary or a Superpower User..."
After speaking, she quickly walked into the bedroom, rummaged through boxes and closets for a while, finally finding a yellowed notebook.
She opened it to the middle, where several pages recorded a series of family relations, though many of the writings have been crossed out, blurry and unclear.
"My grandfather, Luo Feng, disappeared shortly after obtaining that artifact. In my father’s generation, he died affected by battles among Extraordinary after having me, during the chaotic era. It’s truly difficult to trace back those events." Luo Xiaoxue’s finger slid across the names in the notebook, her tone filled with longing.
"Yiyi has likely awakened a superpower, mostly related to the artifact your grandfather obtained back then. Is there any way to trace the clues now?"
Cheng Ye quickly scanned the notebook, where the crossed-out names obviously belonged to the deceased, though still a significant portion remained, perhaps hiding clues.
"My uncle, my grandfather’s brother, his son might know some inside information."
Luo Xiaoxue’s finger slightly moved, finally resting on two words.
Luo You.
"But he’s not in Happiness City, rather in neighboring Guang Province. Last time my Brother B went to Guang Province to reconnect with him was seven years ago."
"So long ago..." Cheng Ye couldn’t help but sigh.
But undeniably, this is the norm in the Wasteland, family scattered across regions, perhaps hard to ever meet again.
Only someone like Liu Bi, a Fourth-stage Inspector, traversing regions, could possibly meet family.
"Is there any way to contact him remotely?" Cheng Ye pursued.
Luo Xiaoxue shook her head: "No way, how about I find a caravan heading to Guang Province tomorrow and have them deliver the message?"
"Hmm..." Cheng Ye pondered, waved his hand, "Leaving this matter to a caravan might take a long time to return. My next field task will likely take me to Guang Province. I’ll simply go with Brother B to ask in person for detailed clarity."
This matter concerning superpowers and artifacts, remote message delivery easily results in errors. Face-to-face communication is the only way to get the most accurate information.
Liu Yi’s current ability clearly falls under the category of a Dominant Mutant Ability User.
As Matthew Lee mentioned earlier, using such superpowers once results in bodily damage, the more frequently used, the greater the impact on lifespan.
To thoroughly understand the inner workings of this superpower, the best way is to trace its induction source.
Cheng Ye’s tone suddenly grew serious, "During this time, I will look into Sister Luo’s family history and that related artifact. But before finding any clues, Sister Luo, Yiyi absolutely cannot come into contact with any plants again!"
"I understand." Luo Xiaoxue nodded, "I’ve already locked those flower pots in the bedroom, didn’t dare let her touch them again."
"Mm, don’t worry too much." Cheng Ye softened his tone, "Now is different from before. Even if Yiyi’s superpower poses risks, I can assure you, as long as she stays away from plants, she can live healthily like an ordinary person for decades."
As Cheng Ye spoke, his gaze turned to Liu Yi sitting obediently on the sofa, feeling a bit reluctant.
Making a child who loves plants stay completely away from them is undoubtedly killing her greatest interest.
However, his gaze shifted again to the Vital Rune in his hand, considering the nearly identical principle of vital induction.
He shook his head, confirming once more, "Don’t worry, leave this matter to me!"
