Wasteland: My items are infinitely upgraded
#105 - Mutual encouragement, restless hearts
"Are you so sure that I can evolve to the late stage of Tier 1 without becoming one of the sacrificial victims sent to the church?"
Lin Feng looked at the young woman in front of him with interest and asked with a smile.
He already understood the truth and had even less interest in staying in Oasis Town.
Shen Yue, with a lollipop in her mouth, nodded:
"Of course. The second-class citizens in the upper district, who are descendants of the first-class citizens, have a limit of ninety years."
"That is, if they cannot evolve to the late stage of Tier 1 within ninety years, they will become one of the sacrificial victims. Every Holy Spring Day, they must participate in the Moonlit Night Ceremony, drawing lots to decide who will be the sacrificial victim of the Moonlit Night."
"But for outsiders who have just been promoted to citizens, the ninety-year limit is calculated from the year they joined. So, Mr. Lin still has a full ninety years after becoming a citizen."
"With so much time, even if you save one thousand points a year, ninety years would be ninety thousand points, enough to exchange for a late-stage evolution serum. I don't think it will take ten years. With Lord Su An's arrangement, you will definitely be able to complete the late-stage evolution."
Shen Yue frowned slightly, bit off the lollipop in her mouth, and stared at the man in front of her:
"Oasis Town will forever be illuminated by the Lord's glory."
"As long as the Church exists for one day, any conspiracy of petty villains will not be able to change this fact."
Lin Feng maintained a faint smile, looking at the woman:
"There's no need to say official platitudes."
"I can meet with Father Su An and the Bishop alone in the secret chamber. Do you think I wouldn't know anything? I'm just new to the wasteland and don't know about the curse of the Scorching Sun Forbidden Zone, but the struggles between the major forces…"
"I experienced much more than you during the construction of the shelter!"
"It seems that the Li family will make a move soon. The Bishop needs me to stay and assist the Church in completing the reconstruction of order after the struggle…"
"That's the real reason why Father Su An arranged for you to persuade me to join Oasis and become a citizen."
After listening, Shen Yue showed a shocked expression. Because of the slight opening of her mouth, the lollipop stick fell directly to the ground.
After picking up the stick, Shen Yue looked at Lin Feng with a solemn expression:
"Is the situation really that serious?"
Lin Feng frowned slightly, but then he thought that the other party was just a Tier 1 early-stage assistant priest who had just come to Oasis Town not long ago, so it was normal not to know the core secrets.
After nodding in agreement, Lin Feng's lips curled up slightly:
"It's enough for you to know about this matter, remember to keep it a secret."
"But you can also prepare early, choose to protect yourself, or take this opportunity to go a step further."
"As the saying goes, chaos is the ladder of progress."
"As long as you can grasp it, it may not be an opportunity to change your destiny and prove your loyalty to the Lord of the Holy Spring!"
Lin Feng's plain words seemed to have more magic than Shen Yue's invitation. In a few words, he made the young woman in front of him breathe heavily and her pupils dilate.
Shen Yue felt restless all over. Besides being a big eater in the Cardinal Academy of the Holy City, she also had another title, "She-Hulk."
The energy absorbed and stored by her developed digestive system allowed her to maintain an explosive state, equivalent to a berserker without time limit.
But the premise was that she had to be well-fed and accumulate enough stored energy.
Being assigned to Oasis Town made Shen Yue very unhappy. Her restless heart over the years had long wanted to establish enough merit to return to the Holy City.
It was a pity that the peaceful Oasis Town was like a pool of stagnant water, without any waves.
Day after day, year after year.
Shen Yue could only repeat the chanting, giving psychological counseling to the group of pigs in the upper district who were raised to be slaughtered, making them believe in the greatness of their sacrifice and willingly step onto the sacrificial stage.
At first, Shen Yue also believed that what she was doing was very meaningful.
Until she watched the citizens being burned alive in pain, even she, who was full of emotion and enthusiasm, became numb like the other monks in the Church.
Because only numbness can face all this.
The senior who was responsible for recording and observing the screen once told her not to have feelings for the citizens. The meaning of their cultivation was to be like livestock waiting to be slaughtered. When the time came, they had to be pushed to the execution platform to offer their final value.
In fact, for humans struggling in the wasteland, being able to live like this for ninety years was more attractive and worthwhile than struggling at the bottom for nine hundred years.
Ninety years was enough for ordinary humans in the Old Earth era to complete their lives.
But for Shen Yue, what really changed her view was a certain statement circulating among the younger generation in the upper district in recent years.
Someone was instigating the young citizens of the new generation to end their lives directly before the age of ninety.
Because they knew that under the surveillance of the nine governors and dozens of Tier 1 late-stage supervisors, there was no possibility of resistance or escape.
Only an early death could avoid the painful ending of being sacrificed and burned.
For this reason, there were also incidents of servants secretly transporting poison to them among those responsible for taking care of the citizens.
But what really made Shen Yue feel angry and disappointed was not the petty villains who secretly instigated the young citizens, but that after these guys enjoyed wealth and glory, they even wanted to escape and abandon their only responsibility that they should have undertaken because of the pain during the sacrifice.
In Shen Yue's view, this was the truly unforgivable thing. For this reason, she also lost her last sympathy for this group of young citizens.
Now, all her energy was put on how to accumulate enough merit, so that one day she could be transferred away as soon as possible and return to the Holy City with the pilgrimage team.
Now, this opportunity was about to be placed in front of Shen Yue, and her excitement and heartbeat were even deeper than Lin Feng's.
The latter was just a free man facing the choice of whether to stay or leave.
And Shen Yue had been trapped here for many years.
If nothing unexpected happened, this might be her last chance in this life.
In the future, as the situation gradually stabilized, Shen Yue might have to spend her life in eternal weariness and silence until death.
As her breathing became lower and lower, Shen Yue stared at the man in front of her with a half-smile, completely unaware that the identities and positions of the two at this moment had undergone a 180-degree reversal compared to an hour ago.
At this moment, she had been reduced to a lower-ranking supplicant:
"The Church… Father and the Bishop… they… when… when are they planning to make a move… how will they do it…"
"Besides the Li family, who else is on the list of targets to be eliminated?"
After saying these words, Shen Yue almost exhausted all the strength in her body. At this moment, her blood surged and her mouth was dry.
Lin Feng still maintained a smile, quietly watching the change in the woman in front of him:
"It shouldn't be too many days. When my team completes the task assigned by Father Su An, it is estimated that we will start to act against the Li family."
"As for the list of targets to be eliminated…"
