Wasteland: My items are infinitely upgraded

Lin Feng first opened the bullet production machine. Now its importance was even higher than the two cannons, as it involved a large arms deal and determined whether the profits could be maximized.

As his gaze flickered, the various attribute data of the level 21 bullet production machine were displayed:

«Ammunition Production Machine lv21, Orange Quality, Branded»

«Basic Attributes: Automation Level 7/10; Durability 10/10; Currently capable of producing ammunition below 25mm caliber; Can consume ten points of health to upgrade»

«Additional Attributes: Ammunition Production (When raw materials are sufficient, 9mm bullets 3600/h, 7.62mm bullets 3000/h, 12.7mm bullets/grenades 300/h)»

«Note: Has become a branded equipment. The next upgrade can choose to strengthen the upgrade direction: automation level, production efficiency, product caliber, etc.»

Branding was indeed powerful, directly breaking through the original 20mm production limit, and the automation level was further improved. Now only three people were needed to start production.

Moreover, with the breakthrough of the upper limit, the equipment name was changed from the previous 'Bullet Production Machine' to 'Ammunition Production Machine', capable of producing different calibers of bullets and small grenades simultaneously.

Lin Feng then went to the transport vehicle behind him to check the upgraded level 21 ammunition production machine.

He quickly found the production data sheet displayed on the side.

The sheet listed the materials required for producing various specifications of ammunition, as well as the power of the finished product after firing:

«9mm pistol/submachine gun bullets, 10g metal, 5g gunpowder; effective range 150 meters, damage 20 points»

«7.62mm rifle bullets, 10g metal, 10g gunpowder; effective range 600 meters, damage 40 points»

«12.7mm heavy bullets, 60g metal, 60g gunpowder; effective range 1500 meters, damage 60 points»

«25mm small-caliber grenade, 100g metal, 100g gunpowder; effective range 500 meters, kill range: 1 meter, damage 80 points»

The 25mm caliber grenade had a damage of up to eighty points, easily killing a Tier 1 early-stage evolver with one shot.

The maximum health value among early-stage evolvers, a level 13 evolver, was only ninety points. Coupled with the one-meter kill range, as long as it hit the target, no matter which part of the body, it could cause instant serious damage or direct kill.

The upper limit of mid-stage evolvers was level 16, and their health value was only one hundred and twenty points. The 25mm grenade was enough to kill them.

However, to deal with late-stage evolvers, the current eighty points of damage would be very limited after being blocked by armor.

Therefore, Lin Feng did not hesitate too much and directly started further upgrading the equipment, choosing to continue expanding the caliber of the finished ammunition.

If the caliber was larger and the power was stronger, it could also pose a direct life threat to Tier 1 late-stage evolvers.

However, this power should not be too great, at least not enough to break through the defense of his own chariots and the upgraded power armor.

In this way, he could safely sell the produced shells and exchange them for a large amount of needed materials.

Thinking of this, Lin Feng frowned slightly.

There were still several chariots and heavy-duty transport vehicles, as well as four sets of power armor, that needed to be upgraded. This set would consume several kilograms of evolutionary meat.

With the current reserves, it was really not enough.

Lin Feng took a deep breath, checked the ammunition production equipment, and then turned to check the two weapons on his waist.

Their power was the key to determining whether to continue absorbing Source Energy and improve his evolutionary level.

As the data of the two cannons were displayed in front of him, Lin Feng's eyes widened:

«Armor-Piercing Cannon lv21, Orange Quality, Branded»

«Basic Attributes: Damage 250, Effective Range 3000 meters, Kill Coverage 15 meters, Remaining Tungsten Core Armor-Piercing Shells 100; Can consume ten points of health to upgrade»

«Additional Attributes: Ammo Recovery 1/1h; Space Magazine 100 rounds; Area Damage (Coverage Radius 16 meters, Center 3 meters Damage 250); Fire Coverage (Six rounds per second for five seconds); Wolf Fang Armor-Piercing Shells (Armor-Piercing Ability increased by 100%, Damage +75)»

«Note: Integrated lv23 Fine Steel Wolf Fang during upgrade, additional armor-piercing damage increased by 25, a total of 75, capable of penetrating the defense level of Tier 2 early-stage quality»

«Note: Can freely switch back to lv19 Armor-Piercing Cannon, or lv9 Precision Pistol»

The basic damage was increased to two hundred and fifty. With the increase brought by the integrated Fine Steel Wolf Fang, the maximum damage of a single shell currently reached three hundred and twenty-five points.

Moreover, these wolf fangs had their own armor-piercing attribute, originally intended to break through the defense of herbivorous wasteland beasts, and also greatly improved the armor-piercing ability of the shells.

«Basic Attributes: Damage 180, Effective Range 5000 meters, Kill Coverage 10 meters, Remaining High-Explosive Shells 1200; Can consume ten points of health to upgrade»

«Additional Attributes: Ammo Recovery 1/h; Space Magazine 1200 rounds; Area Damage (Coverage Radius 10 meters, Center 2 meters Damage 180); Extreme Speed Pursuit (Automatic mode fires ten rounds per second)»

«Note: Can freely switch back to lv19 Rapid-Fire Cannon, or lv9 Fine AK»

The improvement of the rapid-fire cannon was not so strong, because the direction Lin Feng branded was the amount of ammo.

Low recoil, fast rate of fire, easy to hold.

Its main role was for fire coverage and long-range suppression, rather than one-hit kills.

So this upgrade directly increased the ammo by two hundred. This was a rapid-fire cannon with a power comparable to a 105mm howitzer, capable of tearing apart any Tier 1 defensive armor.

Enough to kill two hundred Tier 1 late-stage evolvers, or more than a dozen Tier 2 early-stage evolvers.

The current amount of ammo had also reached one thousand two hundred rounds.

Compared to this, the fifty rounds of ammo added by the armor-piercing cannon upgrade seemed a bit insignificant, but its strengthening direction was damage, and it didn't matter if there was less ammo.

After all, it was impossible to face dozens of Tier 2 powerhouses at the same time. The armor-piercing cannon only needed to kill a few of the same tier to complete its mission.

As for the stronger Tier 2 mid-to-late-stage evolvers, they had to be handed over to the Tier 2 new function of the Branded Power:

The incredibly powerful assembly synthesis.

Last time, he synthesized a level 25 rapid-fire armor-piercing cannon with a damage of up to five hundred and fifty, and could also activate automatic mode, frantically sweeping ten rounds per second.

It was like a 120mm anti-aircraft gun.

One shot could destroy an entire basketball court.

Coupled with a thousand rounds of terrifying ammo, the power was so great, like a thousand rockets, directly covering the area with firepower.

If both cannons were upgraded by one level, the power of the synthesized weapon would only be stronger.

However, the only drawback was that each synthesis had to consume ten points of health, and could only last for ten minutes. If it wasn't a battle situation, Lin Feng was really a little reluctant.

After all, ten points of health could already be used to upgrade a Tier 2 weapon or equipment once.

So Lin Feng decided to further upgrade the armor-piercing cannon and rapid-fire cannon, and upgrade them all to the current level 22 limit, and then choose an opportunity to assemble and synthesize them to test his maximum output.

By the way, he could shock the hidden villains.

At the same time, he could also make the ammunition he produced more salable.

After all, things like forced buying and selling, and spending money to buy peace, have existed since ancient times.

If these customers are willing to offer their utmost sincerity, Lin Feng would naturally be happy to provide protection.

Especially when his strength is already comparable to a Tier 2 mid-stage or even late-stage evolver, even a single word of promise from him is worth a fortune.

So, Lin Feng immediately took out several fine steel wolf teeth and spent another twenty points of health to upgrade the two level 21 imprinted weapons.

After doing all this, Lin Feng glanced at his attribute panel. After three consecutive upgrades, his health had dropped to 270 points, and he felt a wave of weakness.

The pleasant feeling of being full that he had just experienced vanished, and hunger struck again, making him want to replenish his condition with food.

Locking the transport vehicle door, Lin Feng returned to the Rock Horse chariot and took out more than half a piece of level 20 evolved meat, which was just enough to restore thirty points of health.

His reserves were tight at the moment, and he couldn't afford to waste a single bit.

While all the weapons and equipment were being upgraded, Lin Feng sat by the window, eating meat to restore his condition while looking outside.

A Ming and Liu Qian were lecturing the eight new members, explaining the rules.

Seven men and one woman stood outside two ordinary transport vehicles, each with a solemn expression but eyes full of hope.

Their attire was fairly neat and decent, without the ragged appearance of the lowest-level wastelanders. Although their complexions were dark and weather-beaten, they were full of strong muscles and in good condition.

Similar to the scavenging team led by Li Hu in the past, they belonged to the top tier among the entire 50,000 to 60,000 wastelanders.

As the leaders or captains of these teams, they were even wealthier than some down-on-their-luck fifth-district residents.

Of course, they couldn't compare to teams like Duncan's, after all, although they were nominally just scavenging teams, they were actually outposts planted by the Salvation Army to monitor Oasis Town, while also maintaining contact with the Scavenging Guild.

The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ said ⊥ at ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥ ⊥ book ⊥ ⊥ bar ⊥ ⊥ first ⊥ hair!

However, although Li Hu and others had limited strength, they had struggled in the wasteland for many years and had rich survival experience. Even if they led them headlong into the desert, there wouldn't be too many non-combat attrition cases.

What Lin Feng needed was this kind of subordinate.

Although compared to starting from the bottom and cultivating them, there was a lack of loyalty and belonging, at least they were easier to manage and control than those evolvers with ulterior motives.

It was just the personnel arrangement that gave Lin Feng some trouble.

Although it had been determined that A Lian and Ma Chenfeng would be team leaders, there weren't enough candidates for the sub-team leader positions.

After some arrangement, Lin Feng found that although A Lian was managing the official members, she didn't have many people under her anymore.

Unlike Ma Chenfeng, who seamlessly integrated his original team.

Currently, Chen Shanshan was following him, and Ding Yi was responsible for promoting the biological cultivation vehicle. When the ammunition production machine was put into operation later, at least two members would be needed to operate it.

But now, there were only Liu Mingfei, Liu Qian, and A Ming left as official members.

Lin Feng preferred to have Liu Mingfei as the driver, and Liu Qian and A Ming to start production.

They only needed to be responsible for delivering the raw materials and checking whether the products were qualified. Lin Feng would start the equipment, which had already achieved integrated autonomous production.

Even so, Lin Feng was a little worried about letting the newcomers do it.

On the one hand, there was the issue of trust, and on the other hand, their professional knowledge and skills were not enough, and they might mess up the production.

But in this case, A Lian would become a lone commander, with all outsiders under her.

While Lin Feng was thinking about this, A Ming and Liu Qian, who had finished their lecture in the distance, walked towards the chariot.

Liu Qian knocked on the door and, after receiving Lin Feng's order, opened the door and entered, starting to report the matters:

"After screening, we have temporarily selected eight qualified recruitment targets. They are currently assigned to a transport vehicle, which will serve as a dormitory vehicle for the time being."

"The two new vehicles were delivered by the guild. They are both 90% new, with a payload of nearly ten tons, and can transport ten people plus weapons and equipment."

"Currently, Ding Yi and Ma Chenfeng are in charge of the recruitment venue. In addition, Chen Shanshan, A Lian, and my brother are handing over the other four vehicles with the guild and inspecting them."

Lin Feng nodded. When he looked at A Ming, he suddenly thought of a solution and asked the two of them:

"When you were scavengers or wastelanders, if you have any good friends you know, you can also recruit them. Even if their strength is a little lower, just entering the late stage of strengthening is fine."

"The only requirement is that they are still young, have the potential to evolve, and have the motivation to continue to become stronger, and at the same time, there are no major problems with their character."

Liu Qian and A Ming looked at each other and quickly guessed the leader's intention.

After the expansion, the original seven old members would have to be responsible for their respective matters, and there was already a shortage of manpower.

So, some less important things could be done by people who were slightly more trustworthy.

This was the extension of the relationship network.

But Lin Feng had only awakened not long ago, and Ding Yi was in the same situation. Although Chen Shanshan had endured for five or six years, she had no circle among the bottom people.

After her master disappeared from the ruins, she became a wastelander, taciturn and very withdrawn.

So, Lin Feng pinned his hopes on the Liu siblings and the A Lian sisters.

Unfortunately, after hearing Lin Feng's inquiry, Liu Qian showed a hint of confusion, thought for a long time, and finally shook her head:

"I've only been awake in the wasteland for less than half a year. The scavenger team I joined was also very ordinary. After we went our separate ways that time, there was no more contact."

"I don't know anyone trustworthy."

After explaining, Liu Qian looked at A Ming beside her.

She and A Lian used to be the leaders of Li Hu's team. They had been in the wasteland for many years and were knowledgeable. They must know many wastelanders and Tier 9 strengthened scavengers.

Especially the scavengers, who were also outstanding among Tier 9 in terms of strength, and could hunt and kill wild beasts in the mid and late stages of strengthening.

After thinking for a while, A Ming nodded:

"There are some people, mainly depending on the current needs of the team, because most of them are not combat personnel, and they have to be useful to us before they can be recruited."

Lin Feng hummed:

"It's okay if they are not combat personnel, they can be responsible for maintaining logistics, such as driving, cooking, cleaning, and so on."

"In the future, there will be a lot of trivial matters that will have to be handed over to other people, and there is no need to do everything personally."

"And all combat members cannot maintain the daily operation of a large team."

"In this way, in addition to the retinue team, I will give you ten more places as logistics personnel. The only requirement is that they can be trusted and there are no problems."

"At the same time, recruit a few acquaintances into the retinue team to serve as A Lian's subordinates."

"When there are some evolution quotas, they will be rewarded down, so that the new members are prepared, and the strongest will be given priority."

The two women took their orders and then took their leave.

Before leaving, Lin Feng instructed:

"Now take your guns with you when you go out, and it's best to wear armor. Although the enemy doesn't dare to act blatantly, they have the guts to attack you who are only in the early stages of Tier 1."

"Be careful when passing through Motorcycle Village and Dawn Village on the way back and forth, and be twelve points spirited."

Liu Qian and A Ming took a deep breath and nodded seriously.

Not long after they left, two reminders popped up in the corner of Lin Feng's eye.

The two cannons took the lead in completing the upgrade, becoming powerful level 22 weapons.

Next, he had to start experimenting.

His strongest combat power at the moment!
