Wasteland: My items are infinitely upgraded

After Father Su An finished speaking, Lin Feng nodded and directly took out the meat chunks he had packed in a bag.

These were "zombie meat" containing two portions of level 20 life essence.

Previously, Zheng Yanying and the others had already retrieved one portion from the train station and successfully escorted it to Oasis Town.

And just now, Father Su An had extracted a portion of second-tier Wasteland Wolf essence from it to transform a different kind of evolver of the Wasteland Wolf path.

If they added two more portions, then the subsequent encirclement and suppression operation against the two evolvers of the Li family in Farm Village would become more certain.

After all, one portion of second-tier essence was only enough to allow a second-tier early-stage novice priest to become an evolver of the Wasteland Wolf path, which was not guaranteed to be enough to challenge the two Rock Horse warriors of the Li family.

The church in Oasis Town had a total of five second-tier evolvers. Excluding Father Wan Hai, who was guarding and protecting the pilgrimage convoy, there were four left.

However, these four second-tier powerhouses not only had uneven strengths, but their conditions were also mixed.

The Bishop was already in his twilight years. Temporarily changing his evolution path would not only have minimal effect but also risk gene conflicts causing rejection reactions, leading to severe damage to his vitality or even death.

As for Su An himself and the other two priests...

Su An had already advanced to the mid-stage of the second tier, becoming an official priest, while the other two were only in the early stages, just novice priests.

Therefore, for Father Su An, the degree of alienation after absorbing and fusing the level 20 Wasteland Wolf essence would only be lower, making it impossible to proliferate and mutate into fine steel wolf fangs and wolf claws commensurate with his strength.

In the battle with the Li family, especially in the battle with the family head Li Hao, it would be difficult to form a suppressing force.

To ensure the enhancement effect of combat power after fusion, the candidate was arranged to be one of the two novice priests.

Currently, the church lacked high-end combat power at the second tier.

Although the evolution limit of a different kind of evolution path was extremely low, its strength was among the best in the same tier, especially after evolving to the second stage, which was equivalent to having the blessing of two abilities.

For example, the Rock Horse warrior, known for his defense, could naturally take on two opponents on his own in a second-tier battle, relying on the protection of the Rock Horse armor.

Father Su An glanced at the "zombie meat" rich in Wasteland Wolf essence that Lin Feng had taken out and sighed softly.

Then he began to analyze the current situation for Lin Feng:

Currently, among the high-end combat power in Oasis Town, in addition to the Li family's own two second-tier evolvers, the mid-stage family head and the early-stage member, there were also Dawn Village and Motorcycle Village, which had been won over.

The family leaders behind the two villages were also early-stage second-tier evolvers, and they had all evolved through the Rockhorn Horse path.

Because this was the easiest second-tier essence to obtain.

In the holy city in front, the biological breeding technology from the Life Farm could allow second-tier cells to continuously proliferate, thereby condensing second-tier life essence.

And the Rockhorn Horse, without a third-tier king commander, was the easiest evolutionary species to be researched and analyzed.

Therefore, the church had to face four second-tier Rock Horse warriors. It was also because of this that the leaders of the three villages would unite and act in unison.

Four Rock Horse warriors required at least eight ordinary second-tier evolvers to cope with.

This was also why the church needed to use the Wasteland Wolf's essence to transform and suppress the Oasis rebellion.

In the Oasis's highest council, in addition to the church and the local clans, which were about to break out in conflict, there were two other forces.

One was the executive officer Han Tao, and the other was the president of the Wilderness Hunter Guild.

Speaking of this, Father Su An sighed again:

Although these two have maintained a neutral attitude, if they want to maintain balance, they must stand on the weaker side to ensure the stability of the current order. Not taking sides, in a sense, is already taking sides.

"In this way, there will be as many as five Rock Horse warriors, one of whom is a mid-stage second-tier existence!"

"With the church's current strength, even if there are two more second-tier Wasteland Wolf essences that can transform three Wasteland Wolf warriors, there is no guarantee of complete victory..."

Lin Feng narrowed his eyes slightly, already guessing what Father Su An was going to say next.

It was nothing more than trying to persuade himself to assist the church and be responsible for suppressing the subsequent rebellion of the great clans.

But just as Su An himself analyzed, once the rebels had five Rock Horse warriors, their strength would become exceptionally powerful.

After Lin Feng had advanced to the second tier and personally understood the power of second-tier evolvers, he knew even more clearly what these five second-tier Rock Horse warriors meant.

They were not like mutated bodies or second-tier corpse wolves, who would sit and wait to be aimed and killed by artillery fire.

Moreover, although Lin Feng was an evolver with gun abilities and had powerful firepower output, the real purpose of this battle was to suppress the rebellion, not to exterminate the Li family.

The battle under the Oasis warship was fine, after all, the terrain was vast, which was conducive to Lin Feng's long-range delivery of firepower to provide fierce output.

But if the battle took place on the Oasis warship, in a narrow environment, using a slightly less powerful first-tier armor-piercing gun or rapid-fire gun might not even be able to break through the thick biological armor on the Rock Horse warrior.

And the same level of second-tier orange weapons, especially the level 20 armor-piercing gun, had a killing range covering fifteen meters, and the explosion affected more than twenty or thirty meters away.

It was one thing to easily injure oneself by mistake, but compared to breaking the enemy's Rock Horse armor's defense, it would first blow up the Oasis warship.

The destructive power of a gun ability evolver was too strong and did not have defensive or protective attributes.

Once the Oasis stopped, with the arrival of the Blazing Sun Forbidden Zone behind it, the entire Oasis Town, including tens of thousands of permanent residents and the following sixty to seventy thousand wastelanders, would lose the basis for survival. After scattering in a swarm, they would wither on the wasteland.

The huge settlement would also disappear with the disappearance of the Oasis's water source.

This was the result that neither the church nor the Li family wanted to see. The ownership of the Oasis warship was the fuse that ignited the conflict between the two sides.

If the Oasis was gone, there would naturally be no reason or need to start a battle.

But in comparison, the Holy Spring Church needed the Oasis warship to exist even more. As a local clan that was enslaved and oppressed, even if the rebellion failed and the Oasis warship was destroyed, the Li family could completely transfer to the vast wasteland and become one of the many wanderers.

Relying on their centuries of accumulated foundation and family property, becoming a top existence among second-rate forces was no problem.

They could even compete with the Savior Army led by Bai Ye.

If they added Dawn Village and Motorcycle Village, with a scale of tens of thousands of people, they might not be able to reorganize a medium-sized settlement and rely on the Rockhorn Horse's industrial chain to join those large forces sitting in town with third-tier kings.

Therefore, in this rebellion, the Holy Spring Church, as the guardian of the old order, was always the passive party.

Lin Feng expressed his consideration. If he could not use large-caliber artillery on the Oasis warship, then he would be reduced to an ordinary second-tier evolver, even inferior to an ability user with enhanced physique.

At least the latter could explode with a basic strength and speed of level 22 or 23 when evolving at level 20.

And without equipment assistance, Lin Feng would find it difficult to deal with a fully armed second-tier Rock Horse warrior in the same tier, let alone those old second-tier evolvers above level 20.

Father Su An nodded. He naturally knew this:

You don't need to participate in the internal battle on the Oasis. In fact, this matter has the least to do with you. If you want to go to a big city to develop, you should choose to leave now instead of staying and wading through this muddy water.

"But the church really lacks help, and I didn't expect that the person I inadvertently helped in the beginning because of the Wasteland Wolf path plan would grow to this point."

"So I hope you can stay, assist the church, guard Holy Spring Village, and suppress the attacks of the other three villages' first-tier evolvers at the same time."

"The three major villages are all under the Oasis. You can freely release your gun abilities and use artillery weapons."

Lin Feng nodded. Father Su An's promotion and help to him were crucial in the early stages of his growth.

Although it came with a mission purpose, the promised rewards were all delivered in a timely manner, and he also answered many of Lin Feng's doubts.

Without Father Su An's care, Lin Feng estimated that he was still thinking about how to accumulate resources to achieve a qualitative leap from the early to the late stages of the first tier.

After all, the Wild Rift Valley was counting down the last few days of hunting, and once missed, it would have to wait a few years.

So Lin Feng didn't hesitate much and directly agreed to stay under the oasis to deal with the farm village. It was originally a cooperative action with Bai Ye, which was exactly what he wanted.

Seeing Lin Feng nod, Father Su An immediately added:

“When the time comes, there is likely to be a Tier 2 evolver arranged among the rebels to contain you. Are you confident?”

Lin Feng shrugged his shoulders:

“As long as it’s not in the mid-stage of Tier 2, the early-stage Rock Horse Warrior can’t do anything to me!”

Su An nodded, finally showing a smile.

He had already heard about Lin Feng's growth and current strength in Zheng Yanying's report.

This young man, whose living age is no more than thirty years old, used only two short months to grow from a strengthened person to a Tier 2 powerhouse.

This could be ranked among the top in the early days of the Great Cataclysm of the Old Earth, and now in the wasteland era, it is even more of an exceptionally talented child of evolution…

The only pity is that he chose alien evolution too early. Otherwise, if he was absorbed into the church, there would be a great chance of becoming a powerful Templar Knight, or even an Archbishop of the third stage.

Now Lin Feng's strength, with the help of firearm abilities, has reached an incredible level, enough to kill a Tier 3 Aberrant King whose strength is comparable to the late stage of Tier 2 at the Tier 2 threshold of level 20.

The newest novels are first published on 69shu.

Although the enemy was not wearing armor, it was enough to prove Lin Feng's strength.

Supplementing enough energy and maintaining a full state, even a fully armed Tier 2 mid-stage evolver, Lin Feng can fight against him.

Therefore, arranging him to stay in Holy Spring Village to be responsible for containing a major general of the enemy, while suppressing hundreds of Tier 1 mid-to-late stage evolvers, is the best choice.

After discussing the specific requirements of the mission, especially after obtaining Lin Feng's consent and agreement, the haggardness on Father Su An's face improved significantly, and he said with a smile:

“So, what reward do you need for these two Wasteland Wolf Source Essences, plus the subsequent mission?”

“Bishop has already said that anything the church can do now can be promised!”

Hearing this, Lin Feng felt a temporary sigh of relief in his heart, but his face remained calm:

“I need a lot of evolution meat, at least Tier 1 late-stage evolution dried meat, preferably Tier 2 dried meat.”

“Because of my ability, it consumes a lot of state, especially in terms of physical strength. Only by eating better can I provide stronger firepower output.”

“Eating Tier 2 evolution meat is enough to kill any Tier 2 early-stage evolver, even those wearing Rock Horse Battle Armor.”

“I once experimented with full output on the outskirts of the Mount Tai ruins. The lethality directly melted the rocks and could easily kill Rockhorn Horses of the same level.”

“Dealing with Rock Horse Warriors is naturally no problem!”

Hearing Lin Feng's first request, Father Su An frowned slightly, and said helplessly:

“You know, after cooperating with Zheng Yanying and the others, the monks and clergy of the church do not rely on evolution meat to maintain their evolution level on a daily basis.”

“The evolutionary cells in our bodies only need to regularly ingest Holy Spring Water to continue to grow.”

“So, there is not much evolution meat reserves in the Holy Treasury at present. Usually, only battle priests or Templar Knights will use it as an extra supplement during fierce battles.”

“There is no Tier 2 evolution meat for the time being. Apart from the evolution meat that was given to you as a reward last time, there is still a quota of one thousand kilograms left, which are level eighteen and nineteen respectively. Since you took out two Wasteland Wolf Source Essences, then I will give you two copies in return.”

“Two hundred kilograms each for level eighteen and nineteen.”

Lin Feng nodded. Tier 1 late-stage evolution meat rich in Source Essence can also be exchanged for a Tier 20 Source Essence. After all, the price of evolution meat in the oasis has already been炒 to several times higher than before.

But only four hundred kilograms is far from enough.

After dehydration, there are only two hundred kilograms left. According to my current appetite, as well as the upcoming equipment upgrades and the consumption of team members during the war, at least five hundred kilograms of dried meat reserves are needed to be considered safe.

So Lin Feng continued to say:

“Now there are a total of three Wasteland Wolf Source Essences, which can only arm three Tier 2 evolvers. If there is still a need, you can use late-stage evolution meat to exchange more Wasteland Wolf Source Essence with me.”

Father Su An's pupils shrank slightly, obviously not expecting that Lin Feng still had Wasteland Wolf Source Essence in his hands.

It seems that the two “zombie meats” in front of him were just used by him to test the Holy Spring Sect.

However, the church can no longer provide more evolution meat. During the subsequent battle, the battle priests also need dried evolution meat to replenish their state in time.

Father Su An shook his head:

“I'm sorry, the church can no longer take out more evolution meat, because the remaining six hundred kilograms of raw meat needs to be given to the elite battle priests first to improve their strength.”

“The Source Essence filtered out from these Wasteland Wolf evolution meat will only be given to the priests for use, and the two that you have now taken out will be given to two level nineteen battle priests for cross-level upgrades.”

“Although doing so will cut off their future evolution path and they will never be able to become Templar Knights in this life, they are willing to dedicate themselves for the Holy Spring Sect.”

“So the remaining evolution meat, including the Source Essence inside, must be used to help them improve their strength and become level nineteen elite archpriests as soon as possible. During the subsequent battle, these dried evolution meat will also be one of the state supplies.”

Lin Feng nodded, it seems that this is an unsolvable problem.

If you want to exchange for more evolution meat, you must first trade Tier 2 Wasteland Wolf Source Essence, and more Source Essence will also increase the church's demand for evolution meat.

Trading two copies now is the limit.

Since there is no more evolution meat, Lin Feng then proposed the reward for the mission:

“Currently, there is nothing in the church that I urgently need…”

“Then let’s do this. After the mission is completed and the church wins a complete victory, I need the Bishop to issue a letter of introduction to help my team in the future to settle down smoothly when going to the Holy City.”

“It’s best to give a formal identity so that you can move freely within the sphere of influence of the Holy City.”

Father Su An breathed a sigh of relief. Obviously, the request made by Lin Feng was not stressful for the Holy Spring Sect. The tone of his reply also became lighter:

“This is completely no problem. As a great hero in this rebellion, you can serve as one of the executives of the Oasis Supreme Council, and you will also receive the title of Honorary Deputy Mayor of the Oasis.”

“As long as the oasis is still under the direct rule of the church, your title is your identity, and your status is the same as that of the Grand Priest, second only to the Bishop level.”

After resolving the worries in his heart, Father Su An's mood and state improved significantly, and he became more and more pleasing and valued the young man in front of him, and continued to add:

“With the addition of this identity, if you want to build your own power in the future, as long as you swear allegiance to the church, you can be given priority to be recognized and accepted by the church.”

“It is equivalent to temporarily giving a vacant position, but as long as your strength improves, such as打击 the wandering forces and establishing a settlement, you can successfully turn the vacancy into reality…”

“Become a legal force under the rule of the Holy Spring Sect.”

“You can enjoy the right to use the Global Migration Avenue and trade equally with major towns.”

After listening to Father Su An's introduction, Lin Feng nodded very satisfied.

With this identity, future activities and development in the Holy City, as well as his own improvement and development, will undoubtedly be much smoother.

After the two parties finished talking, Lin Feng didn't delay any longer and got up to leave.

Father Su An stepped forward and patted his thick shoulder. The height and body shape of the two parties were already similar:

“Let’s go, go to the oasis with me.”

“Retrieve the evolution meat you need!”

“Now everyone knows that a Tier 2 evolver has emerged in Oasis Town. It’s time to show off the cannon on your waist and let everyone see it!”

The corners of Lin Feng's mouth twitched, always feeling that something was wrong in this sentence.

However, this matter was obviously the credit of Ding Yi and the three daughters, who helped him publicize it.

But what Lin Feng wanted was this kind of effect.

Otherwise, this negotiation and cooperation with the church would not have been so smooth.

And Father Su An also intends to take this opportunity to let the eager enemies see this newly promoted Tier 2 evolver who is standing on the side of the church!
