Wasteland: My items are infinitely upgraded
#136 - Source material transaction, war chess game, brand filter
Obviously, it is currently impossible for Lin Feng to safely sell a large quantity of pure life essence.
Even Bai Ye of the Salvation Army, a second-rate force, with her late-stage Tier 2 strength, can only rely on pure essence to gain some support in terms of position.
For example, the guild's secret support and cooperation, or other untainted Tier 2 powerhouses, forming an alliance of mutual advance and retreat.
Instead of directly shipping out large quantities.
Because the supply is very small, the major top forces either turn a blind eye, or have not yet noticed, or they themselves have intervened and become a link in the chain of interests.
But Lin Feng has neither the strength to guarantee it, nor the protection of certain big shots…
Before his wings are fully fledged, using Bai Ye as a backer to quietly ship out goods is undoubtedly the best choice.
During the last trip to the Wild Rift Valley, he killed five Tier 1 female Rockhorn Horses, three of which were Level 10, one Level 12, and one Level 13, and harvested a total of eight portions of Level 10 life essence.
After giving one portion to Ding Yi, who evolved across tiers at the end, there are still seven portions left, all of which are filtered pure life essence.
According to Bai Ye, each portion is worth 5,000 points, which is 35,000 points in total, while the cost is only 7,000, a 400% profit, which is pure profiteering.
Of course, generally, they will not directly sell it to other wandering forces or the Wasteland Hunter Guild at the market price.
After all, the latter also needs to make money.
But even doubling the original price is quite remarkable.
If he can find a Wasteland Hunter in the guild who needs it, selling it for three to four thousand points should not be a big problem.
And compared to these petty profits, the real deal is obviously not something that Tier 1 pure essence can match.
Even ordinary Tier 2 life essence, 200,000 points is not a small sum.
No wonder the Li family has only produced two Tier 2 evolvers over the years.
However, judging from the price of late-stage evolved meat, stably supplying a Tier 2 evolver is far more expensive than simply cultivating one.
Eating five to six hundred points a day, nearly twenty thousand a month, ten months can buy a portion of Tier 2 life essence again…
No wonder the oasis town with a population of tens of thousands has only a handful of Tier 2 evolvers.
Excluding the Holy Spring Sect and the Wasteland Hunter Guild, there are only five in total, and only Han Tao, a lone wolf who emerged from the Wasteland Hunters.
Sure enough, resources come first.
If there are not enough resources, even if you have Tier 2 life essence and advance to become a Tier 2 evolver, you will not be able to exert the true strength of your Tier 2.
Because as long as you fight, you will definitely consume several times more food than usual, which is equivalent to burning money.
So, if there is no corresponding food supply, even if you evolve to a higher level, you may not be as good as before, at least you will not go hungry and become weak.
Thinking of this, Lin Feng quickly understood why Bai Ye, the leader of the Salvation Army, would agree to his conditions.
It is likely that she is certain that he does not have enough late-stage Tier 1 evolved meat, or Tier 2 evolved meat, and rashly advancing to Tier 2 would be more restricted…
And ultimately be at the mercy of the Salvation Army.
However, what they obviously didn't expect was that Lin Feng had nearly a hundred pieces of Level 18 evolved jerky, a total of one hundred kilograms.
Although the quantity is not large, it should be enough for this relic exploration.
Moreover, Lin Feng is not a true firearm ability evolver. In addition to upgrading and repairing, the two heavy firepower guns and cannons will not consume extra ability and life value at all.
The previous remarks were just Lin Feng's excuse.
As long as he evolves to Tier 2, Lin Feng is fully confident to contend with the entire Salvation Army, and even suppress them.
At that time, he can also buy life essence from Bai Ye at a cheaper price.
And for the Salvation Army and Bai Ye, using pure life essence to conduct some exchange of benefits is definitely more cost-effective than direct points and money transactions.
Moreover, cooperative partners are also more willing to conduct exchanges.
For example, Lin Feng is now going to sell his labor to serve the Salvation Army in exchange for the essence crystal of the Wasteland Wolf and the opportunity to continue to evolve.
So, later Lin Feng can completely use his assistance, consume the free shells in his hand, and exchange for one or two portions of pure life essence as the basis for his secret shipments.
At that time, he can push everything to Bai Ye.
Anyway, she is a wanderer and started doing pure essence business very early.
Lin Feng only spent one or two minutes to analyze all the subsequent plans and future layout clearly.
And Bai Ye in front of him believes that Lin Feng was scared by the price of pure life essence.
After all, hundreds of thousands, tens of thousands of business…
For a survivor who has just awakened in the wasteland and risked life and death to obtain his current status, such a sky-high price means countless life and death crises.
Otherwise, it is estimated that he would not earn it in ten years.
But if there is no pressure, how can there be motivation?
Bai Ye quietly looked at the man in front of her, gaining a sense of controlling everything from his distracted expression.
Incorporating Lin Feng into the plan will greatly increase the success rate of the Salvation Army's plunder this time.
After all, what they lack is the heavy firepower that the other party's firearm ability can provide.
Coming back to his senses, Lin Feng took a long breath:
"Thank you, Chief Bai, for your explanation. If there is a need for pure life essence in the future, I will definitely come to you."
"Of course, if Chief Bai's Salvation Army also has a need for firepower support, just come to me directly. As long as I am free, I will definitely help you with everything I have."
Lin Feng's reply was very beautiful and just suited Bai Ye's wishes.
This silver-haired, white-skinned little beauty nodded with satisfaction, waved her hand, and stuffed the stainless steel thermos cup back into the equipment belt around her waist, and then continued:
"This relic operation will definitely be smooth sailing and successful with Captain Lin escorting us."
"Please Captain Lin be on time in the cave in a few hours to participate in the clearing mission on the first basement level. After completion, I will also prepay a portion of the Level 18 Rockhorn Horse life essence first."
"After solving the second basement level, there will also be a portion of Level 19 essence waiting for you to take and absorb."
"Each increase in evolution level will directly restore the consumed state and the ability in the body."
"In this way, we can ensure the speed of clearing."
"The Lieyang Forbidden Zone behind us will arrive at the Mount Tai relic in less than eight days. We don't have much time left. We must hurry up. Please forgive me, Captain Lin."
Seeing that the other party was so considerate, Lin Feng would not mind these things. Anyway, he would only consume some life value when upgrading the imprint equipment, and half a piece of evolved meat would be enough to restore it.
As for clearing the mutated bodies on the upper three floors, under the sunshine of Lieyang, Lin Feng would not need to consume anything at all, just walk and make up the knife.
But in Bai Ye's view, doing so actually has a bit of a squeeze, because continuous evolution, although it can restore the state of the body and ability, the fatigue of continuous combat can only be replenished by long-term sleep.
But there is no way, time is indeed tight.
The collection of machine tools in the military factory is only one link in the entire operation of the Salvation Army. Now the progress has been slowed down a lot by the riots. Now we can only speed up the clearing.
Fortunately, the man in front of him did not show any displeasure and happily agreed to his arrangement.
Bai Ye breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and then arranged for Lisa to send Lin Feng back to the camp for a good rest.
In fact, when leaving, Lin Feng saw some of the heavy equipment taken off by the Salvation Army members:
Many iron boxes and appliances like sprayers.
And not just one set, but more than a dozen sets.
Then, thinking of the campfire that Lisa and the others were gathered around when they were on the third basement level, Lin Feng asked:
"Did the Salvation Army use flamethrowers to disperse those mutated bodies and enter the underground relic?"
"You actually have so much fuel, is it gasoline?"
You must know that ordinary flamethrowers can only last for less than an hour of continuous combat. Sometimes they consume so fast that the fuel tank's reserves will run out in less than half an hour.
As the most effective means of driving away and killing mutated bodies, Lin Feng has also thought about burning them directly with fire, but the price of fuel made him flinch.
Today, organic fuels, including gasoline, diesel, and other general-purpose fuels produced from petroleum, which was known as the lifeblood of industry in the old Earth era, have become very precious materials.
Only a few global migration routes can pass through the former oil-producing areas, and then extract a small amount of oil every two or three years, and reprocess it into fuel, which is only enough to meet the consumption of the top layer of the top forces.
Fuel oil is rarely seen in Oasis Town.
How could wandering forces be so extravagant?!
Compared with traditional fuel power, the 24-hour sun exposure in the wasteland is obviously more suitable for electric vehicles powered by electricity.
Therefore, most travel tools use electric drive mode. Although there are many required conditions and problems, the only thing they do not lack is energy sources.
And traditional fuels, rather than being used as fuel, are actually more suitable as weapons.
The power of gasoline bombs is no less than that of ordinary explosives, and they are excellent for attacking gathering places or wild beast groups.
If the Salvation Army really has a lot of fuel, why waste it in the relic.
After Lin Feng asked curiously, the corners of Bai Ye's mouth raised slightly, and she slowly said:
"If we could find an oil well, why would we come to the Mount Tai relic? Buying oil would solve everything."
"That's not traditional fuel inside. The Salvation Army can't possibly have so many resources. What's inside is actually hydrogen, or rather, liquid hydrogen after being compressed by me."
"This thing only needs to electrolyze fresh water, but it is only suitable for normal combustion, and it is difficult to transport or use for other purposes."
After mentioning a few words, Bai Ye changed the subject:
"Alright, it's getting late. Captain Lin, you should go back and get some rest. Be on time for 8 PM tonight."
Seeing that Bai Ye was unwilling to explain further and simply issued a subtle eviction order, Lin Feng was too embarrassed to press him.
Under Lisa's lead, he left the cave.
On the way back, Lin Feng inquired about her experiences with the Salvation Army these past few days.
Previously, Lisa had been trembling under the aura of the two big shots, afraid to speak, only burying her head in eating yam and horse meat. Now that she was out of the cave, she opened the floodgates, chattering about her experiences these days:
From when Duncan's group left Wild Rift Valley, all the way to when they arrived at the Mount Tai ruins and joined up with the Salvation Army already stationed there.
After handing over the two trucks of supplies, Lisa obtained pure life essence from the leader, Bai Ye, and completed her flawless evolution.
Afterward, she also joined the Salvation Army as the person in charge of the Rockhorn Horse industry and stayed behind, while the rest of Duncan's team returned to Oasis Town.
Lin Feng nodded, the timeline matched up.
From when his group left the Wild Rift Valley to when they set off again after the Holy Spring Day, it had only been less than two days. It was about the same as the time difference Duncan's team had made.
The two walked together, and as they were about to reach the camp, Lin Feng narrowed his eyes slightly and asked another question in a low voice:
"After you arrived at the Salvation Army, did you encounter any Wasteland Hunter teams from Oasis Town, or any evolved individuals from Oasis Town?"
Lin Feng secretly calculated the timeline. The Salvation Army's attack on the pilgrimage convoy was roughly after Duncan's team arrived at the ruins camp.
So Lisa definitely knew about the Salvation Army's looting of the pilgrimage convoy at that time.
And to specifically understand which vehicle contained the Li family and the supplies on board, in order to carry out a precise surgical strike…
The Salvation Army had to have absolutely accurate information!
To successfully complete the looting, firstly, they had to know which truck was transporting the Li family's supplies, and secondly, they had to know in advance that this pilgrimage convoy had important supplies that the Li family had carefully planned for many years to purchase:
Several portions of leader-level Rockhorn Horse life essence, and that chieftain-level Rockhorn Horse life essence that was crucial to the situation in Oasis Town.
Previously, when Lin Feng heard this news in Oasis Town, he didn't know the value of second-order life essence, nor did he know its strategic significance. He only knew that the price of Rockhorn Horse meat in Oasis Town would definitely rise, and he made a profit by selling level 14 Rockhorn Horse meat.
It wasn't until just now, from Bai Ye, that Lin Feng learned the price of second-order life essence.
It was worth a full two hundred thousand!
Compared to the Li family's huge losses, the price increase in Oasis Town was not worth mentioning at all.
In addition, the Salvation Army was also willing to provide him with a one-stop service from level 18 to level 20, which meant that they had at least one level 18 and one level 19 life essence in their hands.
Then the total value of the Li family's losses was close to three hundred thousand or more. Even if they had been deeply rooted in Oasis Town for many years and earned a lot of profit through the Rockhorn Horse industry…
Such a huge loss would still hurt them a lot.
Moreover, it was at such a critical juncture, when they needed new second-order evolved individuals to enhance the family's strength.
So Lin Feng initially always thought that the Salvation Army had obtained information about the Li family and the pilgrimage convoy from the Church…
But combining Father Su An and Pastor Zheng Yanying's actions and attitudes, as well as the positions of both sides, Lin Feng felt that he had been too presumptuous before.
In the Church's view, the wanderer forces were more hateful and intolerable than the Li family.
All the Li family wanted was control of the oasis.
And the wanderer forces wanted to destroy the entire Oasis Town and carry out a one-time plunder that killed the goose that laid the golden eggs.
In comparison, the Church would obviously not use the Salvation Army's power to bring wolves into the house and transfuse blood to the enemy.
If it wasn't the Church, then the only possibility was the five villages under the oasis…
The news must have come from one of the following: Farm Village, Motorcycle Village, Dawn Village, or Fifth Village.
And this informant had to know the Li family's internal arrangements, have a full understanding and study of the Li family, be able to identify the other party's pilgrimage transport truck, and the important supplies transported by the truck.
Adding these conditions and narrowing the scope, Lin Feng quickly deduced that the snitch was likely an evolved individual who had signed a contract with the Li family!
Then the most likely person was Wang Chen, the experienced evolved individual with mid-first-order strength, whom Qi Shan and Tian Wanrong initially wanted to join!
And he left Oasis Town when Lin Feng's team and Li Hu's team cooperated to hunt down the wild wolf pack. After that, when Lin Feng finished the Rockhorn Horse hunting operation and returned to Oasis Town to participate in the Holy Spring Day, Wang Chen had not returned…
But when Lin Feng and others and Duncan's team arrived at the Wild Great Rift Valley, they did not encounter any other Wasteland Hunter teams, which meant that at that time, Wang Chen had neither hunted Rockhorn Horse herds nor returned to Oasis Town.
And in the nearby wilderness, there was only the Mount Tai ruins, this landmark human gathering place.
Connecting the dots, Lin Feng had already deduced the situation behind the scenes with a high degree of accuracy.
At this moment, after he asked the question, Lisa's expression changed significantly, first with a hint of surprise, then falling into entanglement.
Finally, she nodded and said:
"This matter… Chief Bai and Duncan both told me not to reveal it…"
Lin Feng coughed lightly:
"Then there's no need to say it. Since you've joined the Salvation Army, you must abide by the rules and do a good job of keeping secrets."
Lisa nodded, temporarily relieved.
In fact, for her, who was in a dilemma, reaching this point was already enough for Lin Feng.
As long as he confirmed that a Wasteland Hunter team had been there, then the fact that the Li family had an internal ghost was a foregone conclusion.
Including Duncan's team, they still had to return to Oasis Town, where a fierce struggle was about to break out, and it was clear that they were going to continue to act as internal agents for the Salvation Army's next actions.
A game of chess involving all parties,
gradually emerged in front of Lin Feng…
Now that the Li family was under attack from all sides, they could not escape death…
And he, who was already deeply involved in it, had to ensure that he found a way out while striving to obtain the maximum benefit, depending on which side offered a higher price at that time!
Lin Feng was thinking, and unknowingly arrived at the team's camp where the four electric vehicles were located.
Ding Yi, Chen Shanshan, and others in the team came out to welcome Lisa.
During the last trip to the Wild Rift Valley, Lisa had been of great help to the team, teaching everyone how to dissect Rockhorn Horse corpses and the tricks of catching Rockhorn Horses. Finally, when she left, she also gave away two lasso ropes for free.
Ding Yi took the pressure cooker from Lisa's hand, pulled her to chat under the tent for a while, and gave her a large cup of iced seabuckthorn wine stored in the car.
Lin Feng then returned to the transport truck where the jerky was stored, opened the freezer, and checked the seven pure essence evolution agents.
Now they were Lin Feng's biggest secrets besides the system and equipment.
The most valuable, and also the most deadly.
After confirming that all seven were intact, Lin Feng came to the sundry area at the rear of the carriage and looked for the level 9 purification extraction filter that was lost here.
After a search, he first saw Su Yueyue, who was nestled inside sleeping soundly. Ding Yi had specially found her a blanket, and with the divine dog in her arms, it wasn't too cold.
In order to ensure the freshness of the jerky, the air conditioner in the transport truck was always on, and the temperature was always kept at around twenty degrees Celsius. Staying inside for a long time was still quite cold.
Especially since Su Yueyue was only at the initial strengthening level, and her physique was deteriorating under the torment of the Scorching Sun Curse…
Without covering her with a blanket, she would easily get a fever and get sick.
After Lin Feng approached, the divine dog woke up first and was about to stand up wagging its tail.
Lin Feng pressed it down again and continued to lie down.
After stroking the dog's head twice to comfort it, the divine dog was no longer so excited, lying on its side and continuing to sleep.
The cubs of felines and canines can sleep an average of twenty hours a day. Except for eating, drinking, and excreting, the rest of the time is basically spent sleeping, used to digest food and increase muscle and body size.
After not disturbing their rest, Lin Feng continued to look for the purification extraction filter.
He quickly found this cylindrical long object.
"Purification Extraction Filter lv9, White Quality"
"Basic Attributes: Maximum Pore Size 100 nanometers, First-Order Gene Impurity Filtration Degree: 100%; Usable Times 1; Upgraded to Potential Limit, Upgrade Potential Can Be Improved Through Imprint"
"Evaluation: Can perfectly filter the alien gene impurities in the first-order life essence to obtain pure essence, so as to achieve flawless evolution"
Lin Feng immediately chose to imprint it, and then consumed five points of life value to upgrade it.
After taking the thing out of the transport truck, Lisa, who had exchanged pleasantries, had also returned to the cave camp.
Lin Feng then took the filter and returned to the chariot carriage to rest.
At this moment, after experiencing so many battles, as well as thinking and analyzing, he was also a little tired.
Looking at his own attribute data panel, his life value and physique had not changed much, but his mental attribute had fallen from the upper limit of 130 to 121, almost breaking through the lower limit.
Reflecting in reality, it was the fatigue of the brain, and the whole person became drowsy and particularly lacking in energy.
After instructing the others to take turns guarding, Lin Feng lay down on the back seat of the rear row and fell asleep.
He slept in one breath until after six o'clock in the evening.
At this time, Ding Yi was making dinner.
Because Lin Feng had an action next, and the specific personnel arrangements were only Chen Shanshan, who would enter the negative first floor with him to assist the Salvation Army in clearing out the aberrant bodies.
So they only needed to make food for the two of them.
A two-kilogram serving of level 15 evolved meat.
Lin Feng woke up leisurely, feeling much better.
His mental attribute recovered.
During the meal, Lin Feng suddenly remembered something and then asked Ding Yi about how the Salvation Army's flamethrowers liquefied hydrogen.
Could it be related to Bai Ye's power of space?
She can not only create space, but also compress it?
If that's the case, then it can also explain how the stainless steel thermos cup on her belt turned into a bomb.
