Wasteland: My items are infinitely upgraded

The gains from this trip were countless, so much so that Lin Feng used up a large amount of his stored evolution meat just to filter and purify the Wasteland Wolf source essence.

Originally, he had one hundred kilograms of level eighteen dried evolution meat, but after this relic exploration mission, he only had one-third left. In the early stages, it was fine, but after Lin Feng became a second-stage evolver, he had to eat at least ten kilograms of dried evolution meat each time he returned from underground to restore himself to his peak condition.

However, the real bulk of the meat consumption was in the filtering of the source essence.

Over a ton of Wasteland Wolf evolution meat came from the corpses of four second-stage Wasteland Wolves: two early second-stage corpse wolves and one mid second-stage corpse wolf found inside the tunnel.

Stimulated by the Wolf King's body in the Wolf King's Tomb, the corpse wolves' evolution levels were all at the upper limit within their small stages, so the cost of filtering was very high, but correspondingly, the amount of pure source essence filtered out was also very large.

In addition to the evolution meat collected from the four wolf corpses, Lin Feng extracted a total of eight portions of level twenty source essence and three portions of level twenty-four source essence after filtering and purifying the remaining evolution meat dug out from the corpse wolves' bodies.

Because they were all pure source essence, the former, originally worth 200,000 points, was now worth as much as one million points.

As for the latter, Lin Feng estimated that one portion could sell for over three million points, after all, the original price was 600,000 points.

If he added the five portions of source essence from the four wolf corpses, he could easily break through a total value of twenty million points.

However, Lin Feng didn't plan to extract pure source essence from the evolution meat of the four wolf corpses for the time being. Handing them over to the Church would yield more benefits.

Mainly to conceal the fact that he had killed second-stage corpse wolves and possessed a large amount of second-stage source essence.

After all, a rapid increase in evolution level would inevitably arouse suspicion from all sides.

But if he could exchange the source essence from the wolf corpses for rockhorn horse evolution meat, which was rich in source essence, from the Holy Spring Church, he could reasonably explain his rapid strengthening.

Handing over the source essence from the wolf corpses was also more reasonable than the corpse wolves' "zombie meat."

Moreover, the second-stage wolf corpses at the train station didn't have the Wolf King's third-stage cells in their bodies. Only the corpse wolves responsible for guarding the tunnel entrance and resurrecting had some trace amounts of third-stage cells in their evolution meat to maintain their activity.

At this moment, after Lin Feng finished processing the corpse wolves' evolution meat, he looked at the third-stage cell tissue that had been dug out to the side.

Two early second-stage and one mid second-stage, only a palm-sized amount of third-stage evolution meat was dug out in total, about one kilogram, and it was placed in the black box as one of the sources of pollution.

Zong Shiyue guided Lin Feng throughout the process:

"These third-stage cells are only at the early third-stage, while the old Wolf King back then was an existence that had entered the late third-stage, with ninety percent of the cell tissue in its body evolved to the mid third-stage…"

"So the third-stage cells in these corpse wolves' bodies have degenerated several levels, and at the same time, the influence of radiation is also very small. For evolvers, as long as they are not directly exposed to contact, there will be no mental pollution."

"Especially under the sunlight on the surface, the pollution formed by the third-stage cell tissue will also be severely suppressed, so there is no need to worry too much."

Lin Feng nodded, then asked about the filtering of third-stage evolution meat, mentioning a few theories he had heard from Bai Ye to Zong Shiyue.

At this time, Lin Feng had already spent ten points of source essence to clear the mental pollution energy in his brain. The reason why he could still see Zong Shiyue's figure appearing was mainly because he was close enough to the black box containing the distorted origin and within Zong Shiyue's limited range of influence.

According to it, he only needed to periodically feed it some evolution meat to maintain the consumption of condensing the projection, but it couldn't appear in direct sunlight, because there would be a risk of self-immolation.

"Direct third-stage pure source essence is rare, but third-stage evolution cells exist in large quantities, especially early third-stage cells, which can maintain purity for a period of time in a pure environment after being filtered."

"Moreover, late second-stage existences themselves have a certain ability to influence the environment. As long as they stay in a sterile room for a period of time, they can fill it with their own genetic information."

"At this time, sending the filtered clean third-stage source essence into it, even if it is polluted by the environment, it is still the own genetic information, and after absorption, it can stimulate a batch of third-stage cells in the body."

As he spoke, Zong Shiyue seemed to remember something and introduced another matter related to the third-stage king:

"Of course, if you want to become a true third-stage king, absorbing third-stage source essence and catalyzing third-stage cells is only the most basic standard…"

"In addition to third-stage cells, there is also the transformation of abilities. In fact, it is the combination of ability cells and spirit, such as the leader of the Salvation Army who entered the bottom of the ruins with you to explore before."

"That very talented little girl has already touched the threshold of third-stage abilities, integrating her ability with her own thoughts and spirit. From then on, the ability is the body's instinct, communicating with the heart, and accompanied by the release of radiation energy in the body."

"This transformed ability is also called artistic conception, which is another realm in the third stage of evolution, and also the embodiment of the strength of the third-stage king."

"Now that you are determined to embark on the path of transcendence, understanding it earlier can also help with the promotion to the third stage."

Lin Feng nodded thoughtfully.

The essence of third-stage evolution is the self-consciousness integrated into the genetic sequence of the body, and the fusion of abilities and consciousness is to completely activate the ability expression contained in the genetic sequence.

Before the third stage, consciousness integrates into genes, relying on the catalysis of third-stage source essence to carry it, becoming a way to solve the problem of consciousness decay in the second stage. After this step is completed, the intention of combining consciousness with ability genes becomes the expression form of third-stage power.

At this time, the former is the cause, and the latter is the effect.

Lin Feng had already seen the improvement brought about by the transformation of abilities into artistic conception in Bai Ye's combat form.

At that time, Bai Ye could directly take off on the spot, using the extremely high potential of spatial abilities to achieve many incredible phenomena.

When Zong Shiyue introduced the third-stage Gun King back then, during the siege, the Gun King melted hundreds of kilometers of desert area under his full burst.

Forming a landscape of obsidian crystals, this power is comparable to several nuclear bombs.

As for what kind of artistic conception Lin Feng's own brand ability will transform into after being promoted to the third-stage king in the future, even Lin Feng himself cannot predict this.

After all, the power of the brand showed outstanding ability effects during the second-stage evolution, allowing Lin Feng to directly obtain the strength to challenge beyond his level.

However, this matter is still too far away. After thinking for a while, Lin Feng stopped thinking about it and looked at the black box in front of him:

"So these early third-stage Wolf King cells are useless for the time being, right?"

Zong Shiyue nodded:

"That's right, unless you have already been promoted to the late second-stage and have enough strength and foundation to carry the third-stage transformation of the second-stage cells in your body, otherwise rashly absorbing third-stage source essence, even if it is filtered pure source essence, will lead to excessive catalysis, consuming yourself to death…"

"Finally, it will be condensed into a third-order evolution meat containing its own genetic information."

After finishing with a sinister smile, Zong Shiyue turned his head to look at the black box containing the third-order Wolf King cells, his face filled with disgust and disdain:

"Anyway, it's useless now, take it further away, don't contaminate my source flesh and blood."

"But you seem to have raised a desert wolf cub? When it is promoted to a chieftain-level desert wolf, you can feed it some early third-order Wolf King flesh and blood."

Lin Feng was stunned:

"Can I feed it at the second-order? Is there no impact?"

Zong Shiyue nodded as a matter of course:

"Of course, there is no impact. That is its ancestor's flesh and blood, inherited from the same lineage. Moreover, by absorbing the third-order Wolf King cells, it can increase its strength several times in a short period of time, between the late second-order and the third-order."

"Adding a little during promotion can stabilize its strength. In the future, when the Scorching Sun Forbidden Zone is transferred, it will be able to take the lead in the Wolf King inheritance battle and be more adaptable to the third-order source substance in the Wolf King's body."

After speaking, he disappeared and returned to the black box filled with source flesh and blood.

Lin Feng closed the black box containing the third-order Wolf King cells in front of him and placed it in another corner of the trunk.

It seems that after returning to the oasis, I will have to buy a special car to transport the third-order flesh and blood, and at the same time order everyone not to approach it, so as to avoid pollution and leakage.

After chatting with Zong Shiyue, Lin Feng put away the purified source substance he had filtered out and put it in the refrigerator next to him.

At this moment, there are still twelve pure evolution agents inside, seven of which are Lin Feng's own, and five are the cooperation rewards paid in advance by Bai Ye.

These tenth-level pure source substances are just extras in the transaction with the Hunter Guild. One portion sells for 5,000 points, while Lin Feng's ex-factory price is at most about 3,000 points.

In total, it's 36,000 points.

Although it sounds like a lot, in reality, it can only buy dozens of pounds of late-stage evolution meat.

According to the current situation in Oasis Town, it is estimated that it will be cut in half.

However, first-order pure source substances are all extras, the real main course depends on the remaining large amount of source substances.

The eight portions of twentieth-level pure source substance and three portions of twenty-fourth-level pure source substance that were just filtered out.

Lin Feng plans to use one of them to trade for a hundred kilograms of second-order evolution meat from the guild.

Although one portion of twentieth-level pure source substance is several times that of the same level of evolution meat, the price of evolution meat in Oasis Town has also increased several times.

Only when enough evolution meat is exchanged can Lin Feng have the confidence and strength to wait for the price in the conflict between the Li family and the church, and seize the most benefits.

Just as Lin Feng was still immersed in the joy of the source substance harvest, Liu Mingfei's call came from the front:

"Captain, we're here!"

Abruptly closing the refrigerator door, Lin Feng came to the car window and saw a straight avenue in the distance.

Now it has only been about six days since everyone left Oasis Town. The oasis has advanced about 120 kilometers and is still one day away from the Tai Mountain ruins.

Less than twenty kilometers.

Liu Mingfei then turned around and drove back.

Zheng Yanying and others had calculated the direction in advance and accurately found the current location of Oasis Town.

Lin Feng and others, in order to escape from Feicheng Shelter and avoid the wolf clan army in Meteor Wolf Valley, drove south all the way in a daze, and it took only seven or eight hours to reach the Oasis Avenue.

Under Lin Feng's order, Liu Mingfei turned around and headed east towards Oasis Town.

Because the terrain of Oasis Avenue is flat, the speed of the convoy suddenly increased several times, and it took less than an hour to reach Oasis Town, which was more than ten kilometers away.

The crowd's cars parked on the right side of the avenue, watching the huge Oasis battleship leading the convoys of the five major villages, slowly driving in mightily.

Lin Feng's team of four were already accustomed to Oasis Town, while Ma Chenfeng's newly joined team showed a look of shock.

Through simple communication, Lin Feng and others learned that Ma Chenfeng's team had been active in the north. Because there was a wanted order on them, they could only struggle to survive in the depths of the wilderness. The little materials they collected had to be exploited in transactions with hunter teams.

If they were lucky enough to encounter a second-rate gathering place, they could send their members to exchange for some urgently needed living materials.

Large mobile bases like the Oasis battleship generally do not appear in town-level gathering places. It is the special nature of the oasis that provides important intelligence, so warships are sent to it.

When Oasis Town arrived in front of everyone, Lin Feng, as the leader, took a deep breath, stood on the slope, and looked at the nearby Holy Spring Village:

"Let's go, Father Su'an is probably waiting impatiently."

Everyone nodded and returned to their respective cars.

When Lin Feng was sitting in the Rock Horse chariot and entered Oasis Avenue to come near Holy Spring Village, he saw as many as sixty guards in armor and armed with guns guarding the cars on the periphery from afar.

Especially at the gate, there were more than a dozen guards standing, including fully armed evolutionists, early first-order combat priests in armor.

The guard strength is several times stronger than before.

It seems that the situation has reached a critical point, and only the high-level officials on both sides need to announce the start.

When Lin Feng's convoy approached the gate of Holy Spring Village, there were still a hundred meters away, a group of guards raised their guns and ordered to stop accelerating and not to enter within a hundred meters of Holy Spring Village.

It was not until the former guard captain reported to the combat priest in charge that the latter suddenly realized and took the initiative to jump off the chariot and walk over.

Stopping beside the Rock Horse chariot, he spoke politely to Lin Feng, who was sitting in the passenger seat:

"Mr. Lin, the situation in the oasis has been tense recently. Holy Spring Village has been completely under martial law and does not allow any foreign vehicles to enter. I have already arranged for someone to report to Sir Su'an. If Mr. Lin is in a hurry, he can get out of the car and enter the village to meet Sir Su'an."

"The remaining vehicles and personnel need to stay outside the village."

"Please forgive me, Mr. Lin."

Lin Feng nodded, told his subordinates to wait outside, and he himself took two portions of second-order desert wolf source substance and two cannons under his cloak, and entered Holy Spring Village under the leadership of the combat priest.

At this time, the village could no longer hear the laughter of the past. After school, the students went back to the dormitory car to study and rest early after dinner.

When Lin Feng arrived at the familiar office car and entered it to see Father Su'an, the latter looked haggard.

Even the mid-second-order aura on his body became weak, no longer as majestic and profound as before.

Obviously, he has spent and overdrawn too much energy for the upcoming war.

Seeing Lin Feng, he took out a tube of evolution agent as thick as an arm from his arms and handed it over:

"Zheng Yanying has already reported the matter of the ruins to me. Thank you for taking care of Yue Yue and for your efforts in finding the second-order wolf corpses."

"This is the reward we agreed upon."

Lin Feng looked at the second-order evolution agent in front of him, nodded, but did not reach out to take it.

A slight smile then appeared on Father Su'an's slightly haggard face:

"Then next… …"

"Tell me about the extra good news you brought!"

Good news, finally home, the follow-up update will be stable, and will gradually explode even more!
