Wasteland: My items are infinitely upgraded

After acknowledging Lin Feng's assessment of the situation, Bishop-sama offered two choices.

Lin Feng immediately launched into a brainstorming session, quickly analyzing the different implications behind these two choices.

The first option was to become an Oasis citizen and take over the farm village after the Li family's disappearance, continuing to provide a large supply of Rockhorn Horse meat to stabilize Oasis Town.

This was no small undertaking.

Lin Feng estimated that he would have to kill at least two Rank 1 Initial Stage Rockhorn Horses every day to meet the needs of the two thousand Oasis citizens and twenty thousand permanent residents.

Life afterward would still not be easy.

Because his strength was limited, whether he became a puppet manipulated by the upper echelons or found an opportunity to advance to Rank 2, he would eventually be confined to Oasis Town.

Lin Feng certainly didn't want to become a puppet, and the outcome of evolving beyond his level to the Second Stage was the same as the current Li family.

So, the first option, seemingly offering generous conditions, was full of traps, only temporarily glorious, but would only benefit others in the future.

Moreover, Lin Feng never intended to stay in Oasis Town forever from the start.

As for the second option, it was a buyout.

A piece of Leader-grade Rockhorn Horse's evolution meat was enough for Lin Feng to step into Rank 1 Late Stage, and the price was the complete transfer of the horse-taming technology.

After that, the transformation of the farm village would have nothing to do with Lin Feng, equivalent to being an outsider in this vortex of struggle.

In fact, Lin Feng had also thought about what generous trading conditions the Holy Spring Church would offer.

Including Oasis citizen status, shopping points, and evolution potions.

But what Lin Feng needed most right now was undoubtedly the evolution meat provided by Bishop-sama.

He had to improve his strength as soon as possible to cope with the upcoming relic exploration mission and the impending turmoil in Oasis Town.

After thinking for more than ten seconds, Lin Feng no longer hesitated and decisively chose the second option:

"I am willing to obtain the Leader-grade Rockhorn Horse's evolution meat. In exchange, I will develop a toxin that can paralyze Rank 1 Late Stage Leader-grade Rockhorn Horses!"

"If the injected dose is large enough, I think it will have some effect even on Rank 2 Chieftain-grade Rockhorn Horses."

Lin Feng's choice surprised both Father Su'an and Bishop-sama present.

Although Su'an had tested him before and knew that Lin Feng was unwilling to become an Oasis citizen, the conditions offered by Bishop-sama were not just about citizen status.

It also included the entire remaining farm village after the Li family was eliminated!

This meant that in time, Lin Feng could also establish a great wasteland family like the Li family!

At least it could be passed down for five hundred years.

If he was fortunate enough to evolve to Rank 2, it was not impossible for his power and status to be extended for another thousand years!

Such generous treatment, taking over a large family of thousands of people and hundreds of years of accumulation, anyone would agree to it without hesitation…

But the young man in front of him chose the latter, which had the lowest return.

After a moment of surprise, Bishop-sama took a deep look at Lin Feng in front of him and nodded:

"Good, after the Gospel Ceremony is over, I will send someone to deliver the Leader-grade Rockhorn Horse's evolution meat to Holy Spring Village."

"Since you're new here, take advantage of the Holy Spring Day to stay in the Oasis for a while longer, wander around, and take a look. Perhaps after a deeper understanding of life in the Oasis, you will change your current thoughts."

After speaking, Bishop-sama lowered his head and continued to study the worn-out ancient book on the table.

Father Su'an then signaled Lin Feng to step down.

Before leaving and closing the door, he instructed:

"I have arranged an acolyte outside to be your guide to visit the Oasis. There will also be a Holy Spring Ceremony later, so watch it together."

Lin Feng nodded and left immediately.

After the door was closed, Father Su'an returned to Bishop-sama's side and said:

"It seems he has no sense of belonging to Oasis Town."

Bishop-sama pushed his thick glasses:

"A firearms-type ability evolver is a first-class existence even in the Holy City. There is indeed no need to stay in Oasis Town and live an ordinary life."

"It's not a bad thing for young people to have some lofty ambitions. We'll find someone else to take over the farm village when the time comes."

"There's one more thing…"

Saying that, Bishop-sama slowly closed the book:

"The last pilgrimage caravan did not return on time. They were attacked by wanderers."

Father Su'an frowned slightly:

"Recently, around Oasis Town, the only group that could pose a threat to the pilgrimage caravan is a branch of the Salvation Army."

"They came here for the Mount Tai Relic, wanting to explore the deep forbidden area inside."

Bishop-sama nodded:

"A combat priest broke out in advance and has returned to the Holy Spring Pool to recover."

"According to him, only the Li family of the farm village was attacked this time. In addition to the daily purchase of breeding farm tools, growth hormones and other veterinary drugs, there was also a life essence of a Chieftain-grade Rockhorn Horse that they spent a lot of money to order from the Holy City's Life Farm…"

"It is estimated that they wanted to improve the quality and prolong the life of the Leader-grade Rockhorn Horse in the farm village."

"Now that it has been snatched away by the attackers, if they can't catch a new Leader-grade Rockhorn Horse in the future, all the plans of the Li family will be in vain."

Father Su'an raised an eyebrow:

"So, this Salvation Army has helped us instead. If the Li family cannot provide mid-term evolution meat, they will first be betrayed by their relatives and lose the support of Dawn and Motorcycle Village."

"Then they will be criticized and attacked by the crowd…"

Bishop-sama took off his glasses, his eyes were like torches, and the aura on his body gradually increased, transforming from a frail old man into a powerful Rank 2 evolver:

"No. We should be more worried that the Li family will become desperate and take action in advance to directly seize control of the Oasis warship."

Father Su'an's expression was solemn:

"Understood."

"The analysis of the wasteland wolf's evolution cells has also achieved initial results. As long as the Lin Feng team can obtain the source essence scattered by the Wolf King in the great battle in the Mount Tai Relic, they can make the Mad Wolf Potion."

"According to the experimental records left by predecessors, injection can increase physical strength by 40%, and even Rank 2 evolvers can gain a 20% increase, growing fangs and sharp teeth enough to tear through ceramic steel armor."

"It has a special attack effect against the Li family's Rockhorn Horse warriors."

"Once formed, even the head of the Li family will not be our opponent."

Bishop-sama nodded and looked at the world map hanging on the wall on one side of the door.

In the dim light, the northern hemisphere of the map was marked with dozens of global routes that human forces had explored and excavated.

"On the next Holy Spring Day, the Oasis, which is advancing three hundred kilometers, will pass by the Mount Tai Relic, and then there will be the Holy Land pilgrimage once every six years. At that time, there will be Temple Knights to help, and the Li family will definitely not drag it until then…"

Bishop slowly opened his mouth, analyzing the situation:

"And after passing by the Mount Tai Relic, the Oasis will encounter a fork in the road."

"Their time to act can only be before the next Holy Spring Day at the latest, and as long as they succeed, they can manipulate the Oasis warship to deviate from the original planned route and drive all the way north into the Northern Border."

Father Su'an nodded, feeling the urgency of time and the severity of the situation, and promised:

"I will let Lin Feng and the others set off as soon as possible to ensure that they can complete the Mount Tai Relic mission within five days after the Holy Spring Day."

Bishop-sama nodded slightly.

At this time, Su'an thought of the wanderers near Oasis Town and added:

"That Salvation Army only robbed the Li family's goods, which shows that this was premeditated. Could it be that they also have plans for the Rockhorn Horse breeding industry in the farm village?"

Bishop-sama had already walked to the door and opened it.

"Our mission is the Oasis, no need to worry about the rest."

… … … …

After leaving Bishop-sama's secret room, Lin Feng quickly left the narrow corridor, and only after walking into the spacious aisle of the church did he breathe a sigh of relief.

The heart that had been hanging in his throat and beating non-stop was finally able to relax a little.

Just now, facing two incomparably powerful evolvers,

Lin Feng really felt a lot of pressure.

Not to mention Father Su'an, Lin Feng estimated that his evolution level was Rank 2 Initial-Mid Stage, several times stronger than himself at present.

As for Bishop-sama…

Lin Feng couldn't even feel the aura on his body.

And the last time this happened was when Lin Feng was facing Father Su'an before he achieved cross-level evolution.

Lin Feng estimated that he could only sense the existence of one level stronger than himself.

For example, at the ninth level of strengthening, he could clearly sense the aura of a Rank 1 evolver, and after being promoted to Rank 1 Mid Stage, he could roughly deduce Father Su'an's strength.

Now that he couldn't detect Bishop-sama's aura, there was only one possibility, that was, the other party's strength had already entered Rank 2 Late Stage, or even stronger.

Lin Feng felt like he was being penetrated just by standing in front of him.

Like ordinary humans facing evolvers.

The gap between the two is likely to be ten times or even higher.

Bishop-sama only needs to move his fingers to easily crush Lin Feng like crushing an ant.

In addition, without weapons, Lin Feng's inner anxiety and tension reached their peak.

Moreover, being in a small secret room, the invisible pressure of claustrophobia also magnified the anxiety in his heart invisibly.

If it was the first audience, in the prayer hall of the church, coupled with the bright light, Lin Feng estimated that he would not have so much pressure, let alone show such fear afterward.

Fortunately, everything is over now.

Lin Feng followed his inner thoughts and chose the optimal solution.

"Hello, are you Mr. Lin?"

At this time, a female voice sounded from behind.

Lin Feng turned his head sharply and saw a young white-robed acolyte, or rather, a female acolyte, appearing behind him with a smile on her face.

The other party's footsteps were silent and unpredictable.

At this moment, Lin Feng was like a frightened bird. After calming his inner tension, he nodded and said:

"Are you the acolyte who is taking me to visit and tour the Oasis?"

The young woman, who looked about twenty years old, nodded:

"My name is Shen Yue, please follow me, Mr. Lin."

"There are still several hours before the Holy Spring Prayer Ceremony. Mr. Lin hasn't eaten yet, right? Let's go to the Oasis cafeteria for a meal first!"
