Wasteland: My items are infinitely upgraded

#95 - Hunter's license, cigars and mints

In reality, Lin Feng was planning to purchase battle armor in bulk.

The level nine combat suit could no longer be upgraded because the foundation was too poor, and the upper limit was white quality equipment. Unless higher-level materials were fused, or through imprinting, the limitations could be lifted.

And high-level materials are obviously more suitable for direct addition to high-level equipment. Integrating them into ordinary combat suits has limited improvement and is too wasteful.

So Lin Feng's plan was to first buy six sets of light steel armor, with a red quality foundation, and then upgrade through fusion, adding materials such as the Rockhorn Horse's horns and bones to create armor with better defensive effects and that is also lighter.

In this way, he could save a lot of points and get better armor, killing two birds with one stone.

Ordinary light steel armor, the basic level ten model, only costs 350 points per set, while higher-level twelve and thirteen armor starts at thousands of points.

As for the more advanced level fourteen titanium steel armor, according to the store manager's introduction, it could withstand three to four tons of impact, but the price required 2,500 points.

Seven sets would cost 17,000, and Lin Feng suddenly felt that the 47,000 points he had were not so abundant.

After all, they had even higher-level reward equipment from the mission points that they hadn't checked yet.

At that time, the prices were estimated to be several thousand points.

So he had to be careful with his spending.

Therefore, in the end, Lin Feng only ordered six sets of light armor in the store manager's suspicious gaze, costing only 2,100 points in total.

There were also four rifles, each costing 250 points, totaling 1,000. In addition to the ones for Liu Mingfei and the other two, Lin Feng also prepared a spare weapon for himself, intending to verify the different strengthening directions of the imprinting power.

Finally, there were the close-range self-defense pistols. Because they were cheap, only seventy or so points, Lin Feng directly bought seven, one for each team member, totaling 500.

So, the total cost came to 3,600 points. Lin Feng was originally too lazy to bargain, thinking it would be fine to just get some free bullets.

But at Chen Shanshan's insistence, he still spent some time haggling.

The same went for the pistols, two magazines and 300 bullets.

After bargaining, he only paid 3,300 points. Although the store manager still made a profit at this price, the profit was certainly not as high as before.

As a result, when Lin Feng and the others left with a sack of weapons, the store manager, with a dark line on his face, could only go to the warehouse to search for light armor, working himself to death to earn a delivery fee.

After ordering the team's uniform weapons and equipment, Lin Feng then came downstairs and sold a small low-temperature refrigerator, 300 liters, in the Dawn Village store.

It cost another 100 points.

At this time, Manager Qian hurriedly came to inform the two that their special hunter licenses had been approved.

Following the manager to the VIP room in the back, the two began to go through the relevant procedures.

When filling in the personal profile information, Lin Feng wrote 'Gun-type Ability' in the superpower column.

Afterwards, the two obtained a special badge the size of a palm, similar to a police badge.

Compared to the previous small booklet certificate, the silver license in front of them was much more impressive.

Manager Qian, who was responsible for guiding and serving, introduced with a slightly envious expression:

"You two adults can hang the license on your coat or armor. This is a symbol of status. Especially in wasteland operations, hunters can take care of each other, and other forces will also be wary of it."

Lin Feng nodded. It seemed that the identity of a special hunter was still useful.

At least it represented the face of the Hunter Association.

"What about the list of advanced weapons and equipment? It shouldn't be just the ones written on the list, right?"

Manager Qian nodded, looking at the two newly born special hunters in front of him, his expression becoming more and more respectful:

"Please wait a moment, adults. The materials piled up in the warehouse haven't been sorted out for many years and need to be re-counted and evaluated. Here is a statistical list from the last wasteland year. You can take a look first."

"The latest list may have to wait until tomorrow. Recently, the guild is short of staff, and the warehouse is too busy."

"You two adults can wait in the VIP room for a while. We also provide free food, accommodation, and other relaxing entertainment activities."

Lin Feng remembered the chubby supervisor in the warehouse when he settled the evolutionary meat before and shook his head:

"No rush, take your time."

Then he looked at the list in his hand and found that an ordinary exoskeleton power armor cost as much as 10,000 points, and the rest of the equipment or weapons were also four to five thousand.

The cheapest of them was a multi-functional titanium shield worth more than 2,000 points, and a one-time single-soldier rocket launcher… …

Lin Feng's breathing stagnated, he picked up the cup and drank the juice in the cup in one gulp, then coughed lightly, got up and said:

"I'll take this list first. I need to discuss the items inside with my teammates. I'll come again tomorrow."

Manager Qian nodded quickly:

"No problem, please take your time, you two adults… …"

Then he helped carry the guns and equipment and respectfully escorted the two from the side door of the guild, all the way to the Rockhorn Horse chariot.

Looking at the unique shape of the chariot in front of him, Manager Qian couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Lin Feng sat in the passenger seat, waved his hand, and prepared to say goodbye.

Seeing the driver smoking outside the car, Manager Qian immediately asked Lin Feng and his party to wait a moment, then quickly ran back to the guild.

Before long, he came running over, panting, and took out two small iron boxes from his pocket.

He stepped forward and handed them to Lin Feng.

Lin Feng took the iron boxes and opened them. One box contained five finger-thick, standard-issue cigars, while the other was filled with snow-white sugar.

Manager Qian took a deep breath and began to introduce them:

"Sir, these cigars are not the low-quality goods from the farm village, but rather the high-end, internal goods specially supplied to the Guild by a family in Holy City that specializes in tobacco leaves. They are fragrant, mellow, and strong, especially suitable for Evolvers to enjoy. One cigar can be smoked for an hour or so, enough to keep you energized during long journeys through the wasteland."

"This box contains concentrated mints. Eating one under the blazing sun will invigorate your mind and provide instant coolness."

"These are both items not listed on the manifest."

Lin Feng nodded:

"Thank you for your trouble."

He handed the sugar to the three women in the back row, then asked Chen Shanshan to bring five kilograms of Level 10 evolved meat, which he passed to the man outside the vehicle through the window:

"Manager Qian, you've just been promoted to Evolver, right? This Tier 1 evolved meat will help you stabilize your evolved strength. Take it."

If Level 9 enhanced meat was the hard currency among the permanent residents of the five major villages, then evolved meat was the soft gold among Evolvers.

At that moment, Manager Qian ecstatically accepted the dried meat, thanking him repeatedly with an excited expression.

He watched the war chariot leave, and only after Lin Feng and his group disappeared into the distance did he return to the Guild, clutching the evolved meat.

The two boxes of luxury goods he had offered, although worth several hundred points, were nothing compared to the evolved meat in his hand, which had a purchase price of only twenty points per kilogram.

However, this was a limited quantity. Low-level Evolvers within the Guild, such as clerical staff like him who were not combat-oriented, received less than half a kilogram of evolved meat per day.

As for the price on the outside market, it had long been inflated to forty or fifty points per kilogram, and was even often unavailable at any price.

After seeing Lin Feng and the others become Special Hunters, Manager Qian keenly seized the opportunity, successfully exchanging useless high-end luxury goods for the evolved meat he truly needed.

Meanwhile, on the road back to Farm Village.

Lin Feng opened the iron box, took out one of the cigars, and sniffed it. It indeed had a rich tobacco aroma, with a hint of mint, making it fragrant and mellow.

Liu Mingfei, who was driving, couldn't help but swallow his saliva, his attention completely shifting from the sack of weapons and equipment to the high-end cigar in Lin Feng's hand.

After confirming the quality was acceptable, Lin Feng put the cigar box into the drawer in front of the passenger seat, then instructed:

"Don't smoke now. Smoke one on the road during a mission when you need to keep your spirits up during long journeys. If you really want to smoke, use your points to buy one at the farm village's store."

Liu Mingfei nodded, suppressing his inner urge, and comforted himself that since no one else in the team smoked, this box of high-end cigars would eventually be his.

At this moment, Ah Lian, who was sitting in the back row, leaned forward, holding a mint in her hand, and handed it to Lin Feng.

At the same time, she said:

"I also smoke. How many points per cigar? I'm willing to have it deducted from my points!"

Lin Feng frowned slightly and took the mint:

"Although I don't know the price, since it's for internal use only, let's say one hundred points per cigar."

"If you want to smoke, deduct it directly from your personal points during the next allocation."

Ah Lian nodded, then smiled at Liu Mingfei, whose expression had changed:

"Don't worry, I'll only exchange for one, just to taste it."

The concentrated mint released its flavor in Lin Feng's mouth, like a midnight storm, a chill rushing straight to his head.

If Evolvers could feel it so intensely, it would probably cause ordinary humans or enhanced humans to lose their sense of taste in their mouths.

"Unless you're in combat, it's best to eat less of these in the future, lest you develop a resistance."

Lin Feng reminded her.

A box of concentrated mints had thirty or forty pieces, so there was no need to worry about finishing them all at once.

Chen Shanshan nodded and carefully put away the box of mints.

Back at the right-side camp outside Holy Spring Village, Lin Feng informed everyone of the subsequent plans.

The main thing was the exchange of equipment from the mission rewards.

After distributing a mint to Ding Yi and Liu Qian, the group of seven gathered in the back of the war chariot, listening to Lin Feng's speech:

"This time, we sold most of the enhanced meat, two hundred kilograms of Level 13 horse meat, and one hundred kilograms of Level 14 evolved meat, for a total of 47,000 points."

"Of course, we still have twenty-four high-grade photovoltaic rock armor plates that we haven't sold, but I suggest using them to modify the subsequent war chariot. It would be a bit of a loss to sell them."

"This trip also cost 3,300 points for the purchase of battle armor and firearms for everyone, and 100 points for a refrigerator to store Tier 1 horse meat…"

"That leaves us with 43,600 points."

"But these are just the team's standard-issue weapons. Even with optimization, their power can only suppress early-stage Tier 1 Evolvers at most, and they can't be used as powerful weapons."

"So, in the future, we will need to spend a considerable amount of points to exchange for high-level weapons that the Guild doesn't sell to outsiders!"

As he spoke, Lin Feng placed the list in his hand on the seat cushion, handing it to everyone to circulate.

The others glanced at the price column on the list, and the joy and excitement they had been immersed in from the sudden wealth…

At this moment, they all gasped in cold air!

They were ridiculously and absurdly expensive!

Lin Feng's attention, however, was focused on Liu Qian, who was loading bullets into a pistol magazine on the side.

She held the bullets in her hand, lost in thought.
