Wasteland: My items are infinitely upgraded

#92 - Behind the rock wildebeest industry, tugs of war and privilege

Lin Feng retracted his smile. He had expected the other party to mention this, but he didn't expect Xu Wanshuang to be so straightforward.

Therefore, in Lin Feng's eyes, the big-chested beauty in front of him had another label besides competence: decisiveness.

But thinking about it carefully, who could reach the late stage of the first tier in the wasteland and sit in the vice president's position without being ruthless?

"There are still some, but President Xu should know better than me the value of high-grade horse meat and evolution meat."

Lin Feng replied calmly.

Having faced the Patriarch-level Rockhorn Horse of the second tier, Lin Feng could now remain unaffected in front of a late-stage first-tier existence.

Moreover, the evolution levels of himself and Chen Shanshan had been increasing rapidly. After just one external mission, they had advanced by four or five levels, reaching the mid-stage of the first tier.

Anyone with discerning eyes could naturally see at a glance that Lin Feng's team must have killed mutated wasteland beasts of the mid-stage first tier.

Naturally, they would have high-grade horse meat in hand.

Therefore, there was no need to hide it at all, and this was also Lin Feng's confidence in negotiating a deal.

Seeing Lin Feng's generous admission, Xu Wanshuang narrowed her eyes slightly, understanding what he meant, and went straight to the point:

"The guild will take all of Mr. Lin's two tons of level-nine enhanced meat. As long as Mr. Lin can also sell some high-grade horse meat, the price will be easy to negotiate."

Evolution meat, including high-grade horse meat, is the core product of Farm Village and is never sold externally.

Although it is not a non-sale item, in addition to the value of the evolution meat itself, the other four villages must meet many additional conditions to obtain the purchase qualification besides supplying the Oasis.

And the impact of the latter is always more far-reaching than the price increase.

Because evolution meat and high-grade horse meat are related to the balance of evolutionary power among all parties, the control is extremely strict.

The Li family in Farm Village has always used this to directly control and indirectly influence the situation in Oasis Town.

As for another reason, the main reason is that the output of first-tier mid-stage Rockhorn Horses is extremely limited.

Generally speaking, the value of one mid-stage Rockhorn Horse is higher than that of ten early-stage ones. In addition to the mid-stage Rockhorn Horse's own evolution meat, which can create a mid-stage evolver, the large amount of level-thirteen horse meat in its body can at least cultivate five level-thirteen evolvers.

However, unfortunately, even Farm Village, which has mastered the technology of taming and breeding Rockhorn Horses, has had a very low number of mid-stage first-tier Rockhorn Horses over the years.

The main reason is that the leader-level Rockhorn Horses used as studs have very limited high-quality offspring, and this will continue to decrease with age and declining condition.

One offspring of a leader-level Rockhorn Horse can give birth to up to a hundred mid-stage ones, and after experiencing brutal competition, they have a certain chance of transforming into a new leader-level.

But Farm Village does not have such conditions.

The last time a new leader-level Rockhorn Horse was caught was at least twelve years ago, by Han Tao, the only one who completed the highest-level capture mission.

Now that two wasteland years have passed, the quality and condition of the leader-level Rockhorn Horses have continued to decline, and the production of mid-stage Rockhorn Horses has naturally decreased day by day.

Therefore, in the past year, in order to ensure the stability of the Oasis and their own strength, Farm Village has rarely sold high-grade horse meat and first-tier mid-stage evolution agents to the outside world.

Currently, it only provides a limited amount of early-stage evolution agents and evolution meat paste squeezed from the source material on early-stage Rockhorn Horses.

The number of both is extremely limited, and naturally cannot meet the needs of so many evolvers in Oasis Town.

Like the strengthening period, if evolvers do not eat evolution meat for a long time, not only will their condition decline, but they will also become very weak.

Among them, the Hunting Guild is the most affected.

Holy Spring Village has the power of the church and does not need Li's Rockhorn Horse supply, while Dawn Village and Motorcycle Village have industries that are inseparable from Farm Village, and the three are basically advancing and retreating together.

Therefore, if the guild wants to maintain its strength without declining, it must spend more money to buy from Farm Village, or purchase from the upper-level guilds in the big cities, using the pilgrimage convoy's bi-monthly transportation and paying high logistics fees.

Nowadays, in Oasis Town, being able to get evolution meat or even high-grade horse meat from places other than Farm Village, even if it is just a one-time transaction, can save the guild a lot of manpower and resources.

And although Lin Feng doesn't know much about the power struggles behind the Rockhorn Horse industry…

…he is very clear about one thing, that is, the importance of the limited evolution meat on first-tier Rockhorn Horses to evolvers.

At the same time, this can also directly affect the balance of power between the major forces.

Therefore, evolution meat as a strategic material, as well as the high-grade horse meat stripped from mid-stage Rockhorn Horses, also has a strategic value beyond its own price.

Lin Feng thought for a moment and slowly said:

"We don't have too much evolution meat in reserve, and considering our future mission actions, we need to reserve a portion in advance, so the amount available for trading…"

"…depends on the sincerity of the president and the guild!"

"After all, level-nine enhanced meat is also a hard currency in Oasis Town. We can directly trade it with Motorcycle Village and Dawn Village. Apart from being a bit troublesome, there are no other problems."

Xu Wanshuang frowned slightly, but quickly returned to normal.

Although what Lin Feng said was reasonable, what was really troublesome for the guild was these two families, especially Farm Village's acquisition of evolution meat.

In order to maintain their industrial advantage, they would rather offer a high price than let Lin Feng's high-grade horse meat and evolution meat flow into the market in large quantities.

Especially if it was bought by the guild.

Therefore, no matter what the situation, turning the enhanced meat in Lin Feng's hands into points is a sure profit.

It's just that the man in front of her, who was calm and composed, was not as easy to fool as President Xu had expected.

After considering for a few seconds, Xu Wanshuang decided to tell the truth to the two people in front of her.

Then she replied with a smile:

"The current quote for level-ten horse meat is twenty points per kilogram, and from level-eleven to level-thirteen of the first-tier early stage, it increases by ten points in turn."

"If I'm not mistaken, Mr. Lin should also have a large amount of level-thirteen high-grade horse meat from the mid-stage first-tier Rockhorn Horses?"

"Fifty points per kilogram, this is the standard price given by Farm Village. There will usually be a certain discount in actual transactions, but I can settle with you at the standard price here."

"Their purchase price will only be lower."

"As for the two tons of level-nine enhanced meat, we, the Hunting Guild, will take it all at the highest unit price of six points."

"What do you think?"

As President Xu's soft words fell, a gasp came from the side.

Chen Shanshan took a deep breath, unable to suppress the tension and excitement in her heart.

Among the team's harvest this time, there were 800 kilograms of level-thirteen dried horse meat, which alone was worth 40,000 shopping points. Although Ali, A Ming, Ding Yi, and Liu Qian had consumed 200 kilograms, there were still 600 kilograms left.

But it was also worth 30,000 points!

It was nearly twice as much as three tons of level-nine enhanced meat!

Calculated, the value of one mid-stage Rockhorn Horse could easily reach more than 20,000 points.

And the reward mission previously released by Farm Village, a first-tier male live horse, only gave 1,000 points, which was too black. However, it seemed that the value of the horse meat itself was calculated separately.

The 1,000 points were just an extra reward for the mission…

That was still too little.

It's just that the focus of that mission was on the provision of evolution potions and the qualification of Oasis citizens.

These were what ordinary wasteland people pursued their entire lives.

Thinking of this, Chen Shanshan suddenly realized that Lin Feng was going to the Oasis with Father Su An after handling the horse meat supplies…

Could it be related to the qualification of Oasis citizens?

Compared to Chen Shan Shan's loss of composure, Lin Feng on the side was obviously much more composed. He estimated the value of a mid-stage Rockhorn Horse in his mind to be around twenty to thirty thousand points.

This was about the same as the market price.

However, a considerable portion of the evolution meat and high-grade horse meat on hand had to be reserved as rations for the team.

Now that all seven members of the team had become evolutionaries, their basic daily consumption required half a kilogram of level 10 evolution meat, supplemented by one kilogram of level 9 enhanced meat.

Therefore, even if an evolutionary did nothing, they would need to spend ten points per day to maintain their condition and prevent it from declining.

As the evolutionary level increased, the demand for energy from the evolutionary cells in the body would only become more and more vigorous.

Like Lin Feng and Chen Shan Shan, as mid-stage evolutionaries, they naturally consumed more. Level 9 enhanced meat was no longer useful; they had to eat one kilogram of level 10 horse meat, which cost twenty points per day.

For the seven people in the team, that was one hundred points per day.

And who knew when they would encounter another large migrating beast herd next time.

The Rockhorn Horse taming plan had only just begun.

Therefore, Lin Feng's bottom line was to reserve at least three months' worth of rations, as well as upgrade items and the consumption of two or more hunting expeditions.

Currently, with the three hundred kilograms of level 10 to level 12 evolution meat and six hundred kilograms of level 13 horse jerky on hand, they could only sell half at most.

As for the three hundred kilograms of evolution meat remaining after extracting the life source essence from the two first-order mid-stage male Rockhorn Horses, because the meat quality was high and it was very helpful for restoring life value and condition, Lin Feng did not plan to sell it.

This batch of evolution meat paste would become Lin Feng and Chen Shan Shan's exclusive rations.

After making the plan, Lin Feng slowly opened his mouth and said:

"We still have a portion of level 10 to level 12 evolution meat and level 13 horse jerky left in our hands."

"We can only sell a portion of both."

"How about two hundred kilograms of level 13 horse meat?"

The evolution meat paste of a first-order early-stage Rockhorn Horse could already meet the daily consumption of the team. It would be too extravagant to always eat level 13 horse meat…

Moreover, the latter was worth fifty points per kilogram, so it was better to sell it for a good price.

Leaving four hundred kilograms to replenish upgrade consumption would be enough.

Selling two hundred kilograms would also yield ten thousand points, and Lin Feng believed that he had already shown enough sincerity.

So much level 13 jerky could even cultivate two or three level 13 evolutionaries.

And doing so could also exchange for a high price for enhanced meat, allowing the team to earn an extra two thousand points.

At this moment, hearing that Lin Feng was willing to offer two hundred kilograms of horse meat, and it was still level 13, Xu Wan Shuang was greatly surprised.

Not only did her eyes light up instantly, but she also stared at the man, secretly pondering.

Through this brief contact and conversation, Xu Wan Shuang could already see Lin Feng's general character.

Beneath the appearance of a dashing man, he revealed a meticulous caution. His neither humble nor arrogant answers, without any dragging of feet, made people feel very comfortable.

Moreover, the fact that the other party could give a quota of two hundred kilograms meant that they had at least three to four hundred kilograms of surplus in their hands.

So much high-grade horse jerky…

It meant that Lin Feng's team must have killed more than just two or three first-order Rockhorn Horses this time!

But at least five or more!

While Xu Wan Shuang was staring at the man, Lin Feng was also observing the other party's changes.

Seeing a trace of shock flash in the president's eyes, Lin Feng knew that this transaction was likely to succeed.

It was just that what he thought in his heart was somewhat different from the beautiful and moving President Xu in front of him.

Because what the latter really wanted was the first-order mid-stage evolution meat that Lin Feng was unwilling to sell!

This meat was the most scarce strategic material in Oasis Town today.

Moreover, mid-stage evolution meat had an important function: it could meet the minimum consumption of first-order late-stage evolutionaries, ensuring that their strength did not decline.

And first-order late-stage evolutionaries were the top combat power under Oasis Town.

The Li family of Nongzhuang Village continuously obtained excess profits from the other villages by controlling the buying and selling distribution of mid-stage evolution meat, so as to strengthen themselves.

Therefore, for Xu Wan Shuang, she was more willing to pay a higher price in exchange for the mid-stage evolution meat in the other party's hands.

After listening to the conditions given by Lin Feng, Xu Wan Shuang maintained a smile and replied sincerely:

"No matter how much Mr. Lin is willing to sell, we can accept it all, but there is one point…"

"I wonder if Mr. Lin can bear to part with some of the first-order mid-stage evolution meat?"

Lin Feng's pupils contracted slightly. After hesitating for a moment:

"How much is a portion?"

Seeing that the man did not directly refuse, Xu Wan Shuang realized that there was still a chance. Immediately, she took out a few lists from the stacked folders next to the office and placed them in front of Lin Feng:

"This is the quotation given by Nongzhuang Village. In addition to the standard price of early-stage evolution meat, the current minimum price for mid-stage evolution meat, level 14, is as high as one hundred points per kilogram!"

"And it's limited. The quota given to our guild last month was only one hundred kilograms…"

"If Mr. Lin is willing to offer fifty kilograms, we will price it at one hundred points. If there can be one hundred kilograms, it will be one hundred and fifty points per kilogram!"

Saying that, President Xu also added:

"If the transaction is reached, Mr. Lin, as a distinguished guest of the Hunter Guild, will also be able to enjoy a 10% discount on all goods in the guild store!"

"Of course, only for this week."

"The large-caliber firearms, shells, and even defensive battle armor on the second floor are all included!"

"What do you think?"

After listening, Chen Shan Shan's breathing became unconsciously heavy.

But Lin Feng still looked as usual, weighing the pros and cons in his heart, thinking about whether to agree.

In fact, with him in the team, the demand for weapons and equipment was not high, especially consumable items like firearms. Once purchased, they would basically not be bought again.

Giving a 10% discount was not very meaningful. On the contrary, spending was greater in the stores of Jiche Village and Shuguang Village.

Any battery-powered passenger car would cost three to four thousand points.

So even if he agreed now, what Lin Feng needed was other additional rewards, not just a membership discount.

The woman with fair skin and a beautiful appearance in front of him, her desire for mid-stage evolution meat, suddenly awakened Lin Feng.

The mid-stage evolution meat in his hand could satisfy the daily consumption of first-order late-stage evolutionaries.

It definitely had an extraordinary value in the Rockhorn Horse industry of Oasis Town!

So, after Lin Feng nodded, he asked about something that was not very relevant:

"Can the points we earn in the Oasis Town Guild be used interchangeably in the big cities ahead?"

Xu Wan Shuang was slightly stunned, then reacted.

After nodding to confirm, she added:

"Pilgrimage tickets to the Holy City, including the qualification for permanent residence in the Holy City, our Hunter Guild can help you solve them all!"

Lin Feng shook his head. He did not have such plans for the time being. Oasis Town could meet his needs for now.

After politely refusing, Lin Feng smiled and continued:

"I can sell one hundred kilograms of mid-stage evolution meat."

"But just a shopping discount is far from enough."

"I also want to have the right to exchange guild mission rewards and bonuses, converted into points for deduction."

"For example, this year's mission points ranking, the extra reward for the first place, that set of titanium steel exoskeleton power armor!"

Things that can be bought with money in this world have never been good goods.

The really good things are extensions of power.

And what Lin Feng needed was this kind of privilege!

After saying that, he looked at the female vice president in front of him.

After a long silence, Xu Wan Shuang nodded lightly:

"Okay, but the guild also has two conditions…"
