Wasteland: My items are infinitely upgraded

"Can a combat priest below level 19 have the confidence to win the martial arts competition?" Lin Feng asked, puzzled.

Level 19, as the upper limit of first-order evolution, is much stronger than level 17 and level 18, which are also in the late stage of first-order evolution.

Although both sides can unleash ten tons of power, the basic strength of a level 17 evolver is only seven tons, and the burst of ten tons can only be maintained for a few seconds at most.

However, a level 19 evolver can continuously output ten tons of power, and some power-specialized beings can even briefly break through the ten-ton limit.

For example, the power amplification of the Berserker's ability.

Under the same equipment, the lower-level side has almost no chance of winning.

Even with the suppression of the Wasteland Wolf bloodline, it can only be on par with the combat power of a level 19 Rock Horse Warrior, and it is still uncertain whether it can win.

After all, Rock Horse Warriors inherit the characteristics of Rockhorn Horses, and are best at fighting protracted battles, with stamina and endurance far exceeding other evolvers or wild beasts.

Except for the slightly lower burst limit, this alien evolution path has almost no flaws, and the technology is also very mature, with very few cases of rejection and distortion, or loss of reason and madness.

After Lin Feng asked, Bishop Zhang Hui nodded:

"You also know that the most important characteristic of Rock Horse Warriors is endurance, a super strong perseverance in continuous combat."

"For this reason, they have abandoned their original explosive power, so most Rock Horse Warriors only have the strength of a normal evolution level, but their defense is particularly outstanding."

"This choice of evolution direction is a very correct idea under the same strength situation, because it is very stable, and in the wild, steadily consuming the opponent to avoid injury is the only way to laugh to the end…"

"But this time it's a life-or-death arena competition. Rock Horse Warriors must wear Rock Horse armor to have a chance to win the game."

"Otherwise, ordinary armor cannot withstand the attack of the Church's special armor."

"And Rock Horse armor must use the body of a second-order Chieftain-level Rockhorn Horse as the basic material for creating biological armor…"

"This also means that Rock Horse armor cannot be of first-order level. Its starting point is second-order level 20, and it must use second-level flesh and blood cells to support the ton-level heavy shield."

"When a Rock Horse Warrior with only first-order evolution wears level 20 Rock Horse armor, it is equivalent to carrying half a Chieftain-level Rockhorn Horse on his body."

"Biological armor is not like powered armor, which can have an intelligent central system and a self-adaptive adjustment mode to match drivers of different evolutionary strengths."

"As biological equipment made of flesh and blood, although they do not possess high intelligence, they are superior in terms of neural reaction matching synchronization and strength amplification."

"But this also means that the load brought by driving biological armor will be several times that of mechanical armor."

Speaking of this, Bishop Zhang Hui took out a thick document, which contained research on Rock Horse Warriors and response plans for this arena competition.

This information was much more detailed than what the High Priest had given Lin Feng before.

Taking advantage of Lin Feng's browsing, the Bishop continued:

"So the problem also arises. If a level 19 Rock Horse Warrior does not wear Rock Horse armor, then he has no chance of winning in front of a combat priest."

"And once they put on Rock Horse armor to fight, their own evolution level and strength level cannot withstand the load and consumption brought by the armor, then the endurance and continuous combat ability that the Rock Horse Warrior is proud of will inevitably be greatly reduced."

"Even with the blessing of Rock Horse armor, which can resist the damage of opponents of the same level, this state will not last long. Their only chance of winning is to end the battle as soon as possible."

"But precisely, quickly defeating the opponent requires an extremely high burst limit…"

"The Rock Horse Warriors in the first stage only have a relatively fast increase in evolution level, and cannot exert the true advantages of the Rockhorn Horse bloodline."

"So, tomorrow's battle is nothing to fear!"

After reading the information, Lin Feng nodded. He had prematurely substituted himself into the sparring match with Li Hao, the head of the Li family, and subconsciously thought that every Rock Horse Warrior was as difficult to deal with as Li Hao.

But in fact, without advancing to the second order and absorbing the life essence of a Chieftain-level Rockhorn Horse, ordinary first-order Rock Horse Warriors are not particularly strong, and the Rockhorn Horse bloodline integrated into their bodies will not bring obvious physical benefits.

Apart from being more convenient to obtain life essence, they don't have many advantages.

Otherwise, if first-order Rock Horse Warriors were so strong, then the evolution path of Rockhorn Horses would definitely not be so easy to obtain and become the mainstream path it is today.

Even with the mature breeding industry of Rockhorn Horses, which can provide a stable supply of evolution meat and evolution agents, those large forces and local clans that control resources would not leak important evolution paths.

In this way, even if a level 18 combat priest is arranged to fight, as long as they rely on their speed and agility advantages to survive the opponent's best state…

…When the Rock Horse armor becomes a burden in the later stage, they can steadily win the martial arts competition.

Lin Feng continued to browse, and suddenly discovered that among the four candidates participating in the martial arts competition, two high priests did not participate in the Wasteland Wolf's source material modification plan…

This also means that they will have to rely on their own human identity to challenge fully armed Rock Horse Warriors.

Lin Feng frowned slightly and pointed this out.

The Bishop smiled:

"These two high priests are still very young. With the merits of protecting the oasis this time, they have a great hope of being promoted to second-order Templar Knights in the future."

"It would be a great pity to waste them here, and they themselves have greater ambitions, so I cannot force them to do something difficult."

"Although I, as a Bishop, am in charge of the Oasis Church, I am only an acting Bishop after all. Unless I am a true third-order Bishop, I cannot issue mandatory orders to the guard force system."

Lin Feng nodded. He had heard Shen Yue introduce this point. The Church is divided into two major systems, one civil and one military. Deacons and priests represent the civil and political system of preaching and spreading faith, while combat priests and Templar Knights are the armed forces that maintain the Church's ruling order.

The two sides are basically in a state of non-interference.

Moreover, the selection and promotion of priests and Templar Knights must follow the instructions of the headquarters in the Holy City.

Even if Bishop Zhang Hui has a high status in Oasis Town and has the final say, he cannot issue mandatory orders to combat priests.

Although in most cases, they will obey the Bishop's instructions, injecting Wasteland Wolf source material is equivalent to passively losing the Church's identity, becoming an ordinary person outside the Church, and having no hope of promotion in this life…

Such a great price is no different from dying for many cultivators.

Therefore, it is understandable that young high priests are unwilling to inject Wasteland Wolf source material and become Wasteland Wolf Warriors.

But Lin Feng didn't know that Bishop Zhang Hui had painstakingly managed the Oasis for nearly eight hundred years. The high-level members of the church stationed here, especially the High Priests who represented the top combat power, had long become the Bishop's confidants.

If they weren't, they would either unfortunately return to the Holy Lord's Kingdom of Heaven due to various accidents, or be transferred back to the Holy City.

In short, they couldn't gain a foothold here and act as the Holy City's eyes and ears.

Having managed the Oasis Town as if it were an iron bucket, Bishop Zhang Hui's arrangement was naturally intended to make the two level 19 young High Priests the future right-hand men of Father Su An in his election for Oasis Bishop.

Together with two second-tier priests who had already embarked on the Wasteland Wolf evolution path, one in the open and one in the shadows, they would cooperate with each other.

"If we don't use the Wasteland Wolf Origin, how can the High Priest break through the defense of the Rock Horse Armor?"

Lin Feng then asked the question in his heart.

The steel fangs evolved from the Wasteland Wolf Warriors, coupled with their explosive power, were the only thing that could deter and break through the defense of the Rock Horse Armor in close combat.

The church's temporary change of its original strategy made Lin Feng feel too risky. Although he also knew that the Bishop might be doing this to preserve strength.

To prepare for stabilizing the Oasis's order in the future.

But if there were mistakes in the four first-tier competitions tomorrow, losing one game would put the church in a passive position. If they lost two games, then the forces that had already retreated somewhat…

I'm afraid they would be instigated by the Li family to start sending reinforcements to the Oasis warships in preparation for unforeseen circumstances.

After all, losing one game would give the rebels a basic ten points. As long as they won the subsequent two second-tier battles, they could win the Oasis key by relying on the majority of victories in the second-tier competition.

And losing two games would basically predetermine victory.

Although they would eventually have to win two second-tier competitions, being able to tie the Oasis Church two to two would indicate that the Rock Horse Warriors could contend equally when facing combat priests.

At least a 50% chance of winning!

This would indirectly reflect the emptiness of the Oasis Church's power.

The Bishop shook his head when he heard Lin Feng's question, his tone relaxed and calm:

“Don't worry, in addition to these two High Priests, the other two level 18 elite combat priests will still undergo surgery to become Wasteland Wolf Warriors.”

“This old man knows that tomorrow's battle is very important to us, but Leader Lin doesn't need to worry too much. Everything is under control.”

Lin Feng was shocked and slowly raised his head, his eyes slightly narrowed as he looked at the Bishop.

This hunched old man under the dim light was now like a mountain, sitting on the bow of the Oasis warship, majestic and unyielding.

It was at this moment that Lin Feng suddenly remembered the real plan that Father Su An had revealed to him.

The old man in front of him no longer cared about winning or losing the arena competition. What he wanted was to severely injure or directly kill Li Hao with his own death, dragging the Li family into the abyss, unable to recover.

In this case, deliberately showing weakness or exposing the church's shortcomings in the early stages could have a better effect.

To make it perish, first make it crazy.

Letting the Li family relax their vigilance would make the Bishop's appearance and attack more effective.

At that time, the only influencing factor in the arena would be the president of the Wasteland Hunting Guild, who was also in the mid-second tier, and Xu Wanfeng would definitely not intervene in the life-and-death battle between a level 29 evolver and a level 26 Rock Horse Warrior because of so-called fairness and the duties of a referee.

So this battle was definitely a sure win for the Bishop.

As long as he could make up his mind and force it with his death.

In that case, the result of the arena competition would not have much impact.

Just as Lin Feng was about to get up and take his leave, the Bishop suddenly said:

“The two High Priests need to participate in the arena battle tomorrow. Someone needs to take over the command and control room that I took you to this evening…”

“Please go to Leader Lin to guard it for a while. It's also a good opportunity to enter the control room and carefully observe it through the Oasis's remote monitoring.”

Lin Feng readily agreed. Anyway, he had nothing to do. Going to the control room would allow him to play for a while, broaden his horizons, and perhaps have unexpected gains.

For example, tonight in the Oasis Garden, he scanned the structure of the Prism Curse and unlocked laser technology-related weapons.

After saying goodbye to the Bishop, Lin Feng came to a bedroom on the edge of the church area, led by a monk.

Although it was simple here, it was comprehensive.

The power armor that Lin Feng had taken off before was also placed here.

Even if others cracked the system program inside the equipment that had been imprinted, they would not be able to drive it away.

The power of imprinting is Lin Feng's own ability, which can form a certain connection with items and equipment, which is equivalent to attaching his own will to the imprinted objects…

It's similar to the Rock Horse Warriors and Rock Horse Armor, although Lin Feng doesn't understand it very well either.

There are many kinds of abilities that humans can awaken. Lin Feng estimates that his imprinting power should be deliberately stimulated by the upgrade system.

Because only it and the upgrade system are the most compatible, resulting in an effect greater than two.

Otherwise, the pure power of imprinting is too weak, too weak, and only the second deep awakening in the second tier can assemble and synthesize, which seems to have some effect.

Lin Feng took a shower, set the power armor to low-energy sentry mode, and then hugged two cannons and the Oasis Secret Key, and fell into a shallow sleep.

In his sleep, Lin Feng vaguely saw a vast ocean, which was still an environment that could not exist in the wasteland today. Only the survivors of the old era vaguely remembered that the reason why the earth was called Blue Star was this blue ocean.

Half-asleep and half-awake, a low sigh came from the sea in Lin Feng's dream.

At this moment, the Oasis Secret Key in his hand flickered with a faint light, and the remaining energy inside gradually flowed into Lin Feng's body.

“Ha!”

Lin Feng suddenly woke up and looked at the time. It was already six o'clock in the morning of the fourth day of the countdown.

He actually slept for eight hours.

This was the first time Lin Feng had slept so long and so deeply since becoming an evolver.

And Lin Feng also found that he was covered in sweat, as if he had experienced a transformation of a higher-level evolution.

He got up and came to the power armor, checked the video recording of the past eight hours, and found nothing unusual.

Just as Lin Feng hesitated, a reminder suddenly popped up in front of him:

「Detected that the host is affected by abnormal energy, experiencing a mental transformation, mental power +1」

「Lin Feng, lv22 / 29」

「Health: 300, Constitution: 300, Spirit: 300; lv22 upper limit of each attribute 300」

「Superpower Awakening: Imprint Power」

「Imprint Power: Exclusive Equipment; Forced Upgrade; Assembly and Synthesis; Accelerated Upgrade」

「Achievement Achieved: Perfect Second-Tier Body」

「Perfect Second-Tier Body: All attributes reach the upper limit of the evolution level, which can increase the upper limit of explosive power by 10%」
