Wasteland: My items are infinitely upgraded

#225 - Persuasion and guidance, Shen Yue’s cooperation

Lin Feng narrowed his eyes slightly, quietly listening to the whispers seventy or eighty meters away.

His ear twitched slightly from time to time, analyzing the vibration frequency of the sound waves.

Soon, this group of young people, led by one in the mid-stage of the first level, left this place.

The leader was the strongest, with a level of sixteen at the upper limit of the mid-stage of the first level, comparable to Shen Yue's evolutionary level. He was also the leader of this group of young people about to start a "self-rescue operation."

This guy probably has a deep connection with the Li family. He is also the oldest and obviously wants to encourage the young people in the upper district to cooperate with the Li family in seizing the oasis warship.

Lin Feng wasn't very interested in these things, but what they were about to do made Lin Feng feel a burst of joy.

What better way to approach the restricted area than to catch someone who violates the rules and enters the restricted area without authorization during patrol and investigation?

Catching them is Lin Feng's reasonable and legal pretext and excuse to explore the oasis's restricted area.

Seeing that this group of people had already started their actions, Lin Feng stopped hesitating and directly called out to Shen Yue, who had just finished eating:

"Let's go, there's work to do."

Shen Yue let out a full burp and was about to pick up the freshly squeezed juice next to her when she suddenly became interested. She drank as she got up and walked to Lin Feng's side.

At this time, night had already fallen in the upper district. Although it wasn't as grand as the Holy Spring Day, the light from the glass at the top had dimmed a lot.

The entire upper district entered dusk.

Fortunately, it wasn't complete darkness because there was no need to hold a moonlit night ceremony, so it didn't need to be completely sealed off. The workers at the top only needed to use mechanical devices to cover two-thirds of the area with photovoltaic panels.

Leaving one-third of the middle area to maintain the original one-third of the brightness in the upper district below.

In the darkness, one couldn't see their fingers. Even if Lin Feng was a second-level evolver, he couldn't see the situation beyond a hundred meters. At most, he could use his senses to explore the surroundings.

The dim environment had some impact on first-level evolvers, but in Lin Feng's eyes, it was no different from daytime.

Seeing that there was nothing different outside the window, Shen Yue was a little puzzled:

"What's the situation? What work? Could it be that the Li family has already secretly taken action?"

What made Shen Yue unable to eat or sleep and worried was the originally agreed rebellion turning into a peaceful arena competition.

In order to stand out in this rebellion, seize the opportunity to change her fate, she had already invested heavily, but in the end, the rebellion was suppressed by the Bishop.

For example, they still insisted on arranging the High Priest to guard outside the oasis command and control room to prevent the enemy from taking advantage of their unpreparedness and forcibly occupying the control room.

As for maintaining the normal operation of the oasis warship, daily patrol tasks were also assigned to the Church's monks.

Although Shen Yue wasn't qualified for the arena competition, daily patrols were completely qualified for a level sixteen evolver.

And her task was to patrol the oasis's upper district, especially the Church area at the bow and the oasis garden at the stern, starting early tomorrow morning.

These two places were the most important.

Conversely, if something happened in the upper district, there was no need to be too nervous.

Even if there were Li family's spies inside, secretly encouraging the young and energetic people to launch a rebellion, indiscriminately causing destruction, or attacking others…

It wouldn't be much of a loss to the Church and the entire oasis.

Once the Holy City Bishop District accepted the oasis in the future, the only role of these upper districts, which were originally just a compromise between various forces, would be to better complete the task of recording the Raging Sun Restricted Area and would no longer have any value.

The upper people would either continue to be consumables, but their treatment would plummet, or they would be reduced to high-level slaves and sold to the Holy City or other royal city forces.

Many powerful people were very fond of this kind of unpolluted, pure and flawless goods. In addition, they had the strength of first-level evolution and could withstand wanton actions…

The price was several times more expensive than normal evolver slaves.

Lin Feng also planned to plunder some this time…

For example, those who wanted to secretly cause destruction just now.

It was very suitable to be demoted to prisoners in advance and pay the due price for their actions.

Lin Feng then said:

"Just now, I saw a group of young people discussing preparing to go to the oasis garden to find some control secret room…"

"I think they want to secretly cause destruction, so it's very interesting."

Hearing this, Shen Yue, who was originally a little puzzled, immediately turned gloomy and frowned.

The oasis garden was the key to the moonlit night ceremony. Even if the main task of Oasis Town in the future was no longer to simply record the Raging Sun Restricted Area, it would still need to conduct the moonlit night ceremony.

There was still an irreplaceable need for the giant lens in the oasis garden. Only such a large mirror could project the shape of the light source from hundreds of miles away into the observation box, and then the sacrificer would use their body as a carrier to record it.

If this group of guys were to damage the lens, the harm caused would be more than just a small riot, but would destroy the foundation of the oasis.

A high-strength, dense giant lens would take at least several years to re-forge.

Thinking of this, Shen Yue was about to turn around and go to the oasis, but on second thought, she was responsible for the daytime security and patrol, and the night security patrol was the responsibility of another team…

Her rash action might be inappropriate.

So, she stopped the steps she had already taken, turned around, and looked at Lin Feng, who had followed behind:

"It's not my team that's responsible for the night. This matter must be reported to the day and night shift as soon as possible. Only if they ask for our assistance can we take action…"

"Please wait here for a moment, I'll be right back."

"Then I'll accompany Chief Lin for the inspection."

Lin Feng frowned slightly. Seeing Shen Yue's solemn expression full of anxiety, but if she said that, his purpose would be difficult to achieve.

He needed someone to lead the way to help him study the construction principle of the Light Prism Curse, but if the guide was not a member, but a large group…

Then it would be impossible to easily fish in troubled waters.

Lin Feng told her all this because Shen Yue was familiar with him before, and this dull-headed, impulsive woman was very easy to fool.

So, in order to achieve his goal, Lin Feng raised his hand and put it on the other party's shoulder, and said earnestly:

"I am now not only the honorary executive officer of the oasis, but also recently awarded the identity of temporary custodian of the oasis key at a conference…"

"This matter is a secret among secrets, only second-level beings who are also executive officers know about it."

"This is also the concession made by the Li family to the Bishop by agreeing to the arena competition, handing over the oasis key to me for temporary safekeeping."

"After the results of the arena competition come out, I will hand over the key to the winning party."

After hearing Lin Feng's words, Shen Yue was so frightened that she jumped up as if she had seen a ghost.

His whole being entered a state of blankness, lasting for three seconds, before he retreated several steps with a nervous expression. He was about to speak when Lin Feng directly interrupted him:

“Shhh! This matter is top secret, even some late-stage first-order evolutionaries are not qualified to know.”

“You just need to know, don’t say it out loud.”

The private dining rooms on the third floor all have soft-padded soundproofing. Lin Feng could also sense that there was no one eavesdropping nearby, so he told her in a low voice.

But Shen Yue wasn't clear on this. If she were to say it loudly, he might lose his chance to move freely and would be forced to stay in some unknown secret room, waiting until the results of the martial arts competition came out.

Fortunately, Shen Yue was not a reckless person. She quickly understood the current situation, suppressed the excitement in her heart, and replied in a similarly low voice:

“I remember the Oasis Key is a symbol of the Oasis. Whoever controls it represents becoming the captain of the Oasis.”

“This thing has been closely guarded by the Bishop ever since Oasis Town was established. I didn’t expect it would be directly handed over to you to protect.”

“In that case, you can now be considered the temporary captain of the Oasis and possess the authority of the Oasis Town Chief…”

“Tsk tsk…”

After saying this, Shen Yue's gaze towards Lin Feng was filled with respect, as well as disbelief and suspicion.

Lin Feng didn't offer any further explanation. Shen Yue's level wasn't high enough for him to take out the key to prove that what he said was true…

What was more important right now was to make Shen Yue completely obey his orders and complete the exploration of the warship.

Besides the Prism Curse, the entire structure and blueprints of the warship were also a considerable wealth.

As long as he memorized them and stored them in the brain of a second-order evolutionary with photographic memory, he would have a clear direction for upgrading his chariots in the future.

So Lin Feng skipped the key and got down to business:

“After I was granted the Oasis Key by the Bishop, I entered the command control room in the core of the Oasis. From there, I learned that the secret control room below the Oasis Garden is not only a necessity for the Moonlit Night Ritual, but also involves some extremely secret super weapon on the Oasis warship.”

“Once these guys achieve their goal and cause irreversible damage to the control room, the consequences will be unimaginable.”

“So we can't delay any longer. Although my mission is to temporarily safeguard the Oasis Key, as long as the key is in my hands for one day, I must shoulder the responsibility of the Oasis Captain and ensure that the Oasis does not suffer any damage.”

“Only in this way can I live up to the Bishop's complete trust in me!”

Shen Yue nodded, her gaze towards the man in front of her becoming more and more respectful. She directly said:

“That's right, now that the Bishop is not here, you are the supreme commander of this Oasis. All arrangements for the Oasis must follow your command.”

“Moreover, with Captain Lin's strength, he is enough to deal with any target below the second order…”

Lin Feng nodded and pressed on while the iron was hot:

“Let's go. When we encounter the patrol team tonight, we will inform them of this matter. After all, I only heard about it by accident and have no actual evidence…”

“Now that the situation is so tense, on the one hand, we can't make a big show of it to avoid alerting the enemy. On the other hand, if Assistant Priest Shen directly catches the perpetrator red-handed!”

“It will confirm their rebellion.”

“In addition, you will have solved a major case and will be able to obtain a large amount of merit.”

“If you tell the night shift training team, even if you carry it out together, the reward that can be distributed to you will probably be less than one-fifth of the original amount.”

“It's best to investigate this matter secretly and handle it quietly.”

“Fortunately, I have the identity of the temporary Oasis Captain and can ask you to take me to inspect the Oasis. Even if the night shift team patrols and interrogates, it will be enough to deal with.”

Under Lin Feng's patient persuasion, Shen Yue instantly understood. Now was a critical period, and even if she had the obligation to report enemy intelligence, she couldn't report unconfirmed intelligence without authorization…

The best way was to investigate on her own and then gain honor as a hero after solving all the problems.

But the only problem with doing this was that once she failed to perfectly solve the enemy and instead caused the damage to worsen repeatedly…

Then even if she had the identity of a formal assistant priest, it would be recorded against her, and she would have no chance of success in this life.

The other party might have several or even a dozen first-order early-mid stage evolutionaries. Although they were not good at fighting, Shen Yue couldn't knock them all down instantly on her own.

The only hope she could rely on was the man in front of her who was encouraging her.

Fortunately, Lin Feng also saw the hope and hesitation in Shen Yue's complicated eyes at the moment, and then decisively spoke to resolve her worries:

“Don't worry, I will definitely help you to the end with this matter. In the beginning, you listened to my persuasion and chose to gamble everything. Now that the development of the situation is not as desired, I also have a certain responsibility…”

“Just treat this helping hand as a compensation for you, but only this once.”

“After catching the people, you still need to continue to take me to inspect the entire Oasis warship. I need to ensure that it is not damaged in any way, at least to hand it over in perfect condition.”

Only in this way could he establish great merit in the eyes of the monks in the Holy City Bishopric and obtain the identity of any deputy town chief.

To lay a good foundation for going to the Holy City later, including building his own second-floor power in the future.

Otherwise, when he arrived at the Holy City, if he wanted to establish such great merit again, he would definitely have frequent contact with the third-order bishop.

So some things that could be done well in a place without supervision must be completed in advance.

Otherwise, if he missed this opportunity, it would not be so easy to seize the next opportunity.

The reason why Lin Feng could rise so quickly was not only due to the help of the system, but also that every opportunity he had since waking up in the wasteland was firmly grasped in his hands.

Achieving a qualitative leap in three steps.

Now that he had reached the most critical moment, he couldn't drop the ball either.

Use Shen Yue to clean up the worms in the Oasis's residential area, and at the same time dig out all the secrets of the Oasis warship to ensure the direction of upgrading his warship in the future.

After reaching a cooperation agreement with Shen Yue, the two quickly left the private dining room one after the other.

Leaving the cafeteria, they came to a deserted street.

On the empty street, only the dim figures behind the curtains of the houses remained, as well as the gazes of observation in the cracks.

Lin Feng narrowed his eyes slightly, sensing that at least five lines of sight were staring at the two of them, from far to near, the farthest being hundreds of meters away.

“Let's go, let's go to the side, there are eyes everywhere here!”
