Wasteland: My items are infinitely upgraded

After Lin Feng brought back a large pile of weapons and equipment, Liu Qian, having nothing to do, began to load bullets into the four rifles and seven pistols.

This process was quite relaxing.

However, during the loading process, Liu Qian suddenly realized that the golden bullets in her hand seemed to have a natural reaction with the energy within her body.

In other words, compared to other substances, these bullets were more suitable for absorbing and containing the energy she released.

While the others were marveling at the expensiveness of the mission reward equipment, Lin Feng noticed the unusual expression on Liu Qian's face.

In fact, he had been wanting to find an opportunity to ask Liu Qian about the specific difficulties of the mental world awakening challenge she faced when she evolved beyond her level.

Generally, its appearance is closely related to the awakened abilities of the evolver.

For example, Lin Feng had to fight his way out of a herd of Rockhorn Horses, and as a result, the power of the Brand was further enhanced.

It could break through the quality limit of the Brand equipment at the cost of consuming one level of his own evolution.

For the red quality equipment corresponding to the first-order evolution, the upgrade limit is level 19. Lin Feng can upgrade it beyond the level to level 20 at level 19, reaching the next quality.

Don't underestimate this small level, but the improvement it can bring is a qualitative leap!

From the level 9 Precision Pistol to the level 10 Explosive Gun, it can be seen that although the damage difference between the two is only ten points, the former is just an ordinary bullet, while the latter has the high damage of an explosion.

Therefore, Lin Feng can completely use the power of the Brand to obtain level 20 weapons and equipment corresponding to the second-order in advance, so as to kill second-order mutated wild beasts, such as the chieftain-level Rockhorn Horse, beyond his level.

As for other people, such as Chen Shanshan, it is a further enhancement of her perception ability, which can shield the target's perception ability, so as to escape from danger.

As for Liu Mingfei, A'lian, and A'ming, the awakening challenge is much simpler.

Enhanced physique or partial strengthening.

Ding Yi's ability, on the other hand, fits her identity as a top student, and because she has not experienced any danger, the maze awakening challenge requires more brainpower to solve than force.

Among the seven members of the team, only Liu Qian's awakened ability made Lin Feng a little unpredictable.

According to her brother's description, it was related to an experience where the two of them almost died in the wilderness before.

Under chaotic circumstances, Liu Qian seemed to be guided by the sun, found a female Rockhorn Horse having a difficult birth, and luckily saved her life.

The ability she subsequently awakened was an extremely rare energy-based ability among physique-based abilities!

She can control the direction of energy flow in her body.

Originally, Lin Feng wouldn't have cared so much.

At most, he would have thought that Liu Qian had some talent.

But since he saw the warning left by the first pioneers on the top of Laoshan Mountain, Lin Feng naturally associated Liu Qian's awakened ability with the sun above his head.

The curse of the Scorching Sun Forbidden Zone…

Contamination by simply gazing, incomprehensible unknown spontaneous combustion, mysterious energy fluctuations…

Lin Feng was worried that Liu Qian's body had already been invaded by the curse of the forbidden zone, planting the seeds of spontaneous combustion.

Just as he was lost in thought, Liu Mingfei, holding the equipment list, slowly said:

"Weapons aside, we have to equip the war chariot first. According to the current results, the seven-ton load of one vehicle is definitely not enough."

"In the future, we will need at least two following vehicles, one is a dedicated storage vehicle, and the other is used as a rest vehicle and equipment storage."

"This way, we can have a load of more than ten tons, and even if we kill the leader-level Rockhorn Horse in the future, we can load it all."

Lin Feng withdrew his gaze and nodded in agreement:

"That's right, and the comfort of long-distance travel is also a guarantee of our condition. After bumping for more than ten hours, we will be dizzy even when standing."

"Liu Mingfei's idea is similar to mine. Now that we have money, we must not only upgrade this war chariot, add a set of motors, and equip the remaining five sets of batteries, but also double the power by relying on dual drives…"

"And we also need to add two more transport vehicles, one dedicated to loading goods, and the other for people to live in and store equipment, such as Ding Yi's incubator."

"We have seven people. We can arrange two more people in each of the two rear vehicles, so that we can take turns driving, which is neither tiring nor crowded."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

The main reason is that on the way back from this hunt, the four people in the back row were squeezed into two seats in a row, and jerky and other supplies filled every corner, leaving no room for two people to stretch their legs.

In addition, the piled-up horse meat, and some of it was not dried, and the evaporated water vapor had a strong meaty smell, which was useless even if the car windows were opened.

As a result, several people now have a lingering stench that cannot be dispelled.

Except for Lin Feng, who rode the Rockhorn Horse all the way, this hunt left a considerable psychological shadow on the remaining six people on the way back.

Naturally, I hope that in future actions, not to mention living in a more comfortable environment, at least it should be clean and spacious.

Therefore, a transport vehicle dedicated to loading goods and a spare rest vehicle for storing weapons and equipment are both necessary.

At this time, Ding Yi opened her mouth and calculated:

"A powered electric vehicle with batteries will cost at least more than 3,000 points, and two vehicles will cost nearly 7,000 points, including other modifications, the budget will require at least 10,000 points."

"Now there are still 43,600 points left. Subtracting 10,000 will leave 33,600. It seems that our budget is quite sufficient…"

Everyone looked at each other. 33,000 seems like a lot, but if it is placed on this equipment list, it can buy at most four or five pieces of equipment, and it is estimated that it is also prepared for Lin Feng and Chen Shanshan.

The remaining five people, especially Liu Mingfei, A'lian, and A'ming, also need personal improvement.

Seeing that everyone was thinking differently, Lin Feng thought for a while and proposed a division plan:

"In this way, a budget of 10,000 points will be used for the modification and purchase of vehicles, but it is estimated that it is not enough, because I want to install air conditioners in all three vehicles…"

"In this case, the budget must be increased by another 5,000 points, raising it to the level of 15,000."

"Subtracting 15,000 leaves 28,600."

"Then take out another 7,000 points, the seven members of the team, an average of 1,000 points per person, as personal points, and everyone can purchase what they need."

"Finally, the remaining 21,600 will be used to purchase mission reward equipment…"

"What do you think?"

After the captain gave a specific plan, the remaining six members of the team thought for a moment, and then nodded in agreement.

The main reason is that 1,000 points is enough for them to add many items, especially personal clothing and daily necessities.

After working hard for five or six days, it is not easy to get rich. If you don't improve your living standards, you can't justify it.

In terms of clothing, food, housing, and transportation, the latter two have already spent 15,000 points, and the clothes and food must naturally be carefully studied.

Although Lin Feng helped add a set of battle armor, a pair of comfortable shoes is also very necessary in daily activities.

Secondly, in terms of eating, although eating horse meat can also fill the stomach, nutritional imbalance and long-term lack of vitamins and various trace elements will have a certain impact on the life span of the evolver.

Ding Yi plans to plant some fruit trees, sea buckthorn or cherry tomatoes, which are sold in Nongzhuang Village.

Moreover, compared to eating jerky, fried meat or grilled meat, adding some salt or monosodium glutamate, as well as some other seasonings, is obviously more in line with the living standards that a wasteland hunting team should have.

These items are all sold in the guild's shops.

Even Old Huang, a permanent resident of the Fifth Village, can occasionally enjoy them. It's unrealistic for Lin Feng's team, one of the top hunting teams in Oasis Town, to maintain a low-quality "caveman" lifestyle.

A thousand points are enough for everyone to purchase equipment and live more like human beings.

If not back to the level of old Earth, at least stronger than 95% of the residents of Oasis Town.

They should be second only to the high-level members of the five major villages and the upper-class citizens of the oasis.

With the distribution plan discussed and finalized, everyone began to think about what items they needed to purchase with their thousand points.

The discussion quickly shifted from equipment lists to daily life matters.

Lin Feng, having excused himself, walked up to Liu Qian and began upgrading the AK rifle and pistol.

A replica AK is level seven, and it only costs two life points to upgrade it to level nine, the upper limit for white quality. Beyond that, unless it's imprinted, it's the upgrade limit for ordinary firearms.

Now evolved to level fifteen, Lin Feng has a life attribute of up to one hundred and ten points, enough to upgrade and refurbish four AK rifles in one go.

During the optimization process, Lin Feng asked Liu Qian:

"What's wrong lately? You seem a bit inactive?"

The latter was stunned, put down the filled magazine in her hand, and shook her head:

"I feel a little strange, the energy in my body..."

Lin Feng then explained:

"Shan Shan should have told you, it's a very rare energy type among the constitution types, similar to releasing electricity or acid, like an electric eel."

"Your superpower allows you to control the flow of energy in your body, gathering it at one point."

Liu Qian nodded and slowly raised her hand.

She concentrated, frowned, and held her breath to mobilize the energy within her...

The next moment, the tip of her extended index finger suddenly lit up.

The light was dim, like a small light bulb.

But it only lasted for four or five seconds before fading away.

Leaving a blackened mark on the fingernail of her fingertip, the edge of the nail charred and carbonized.

Then Liu Qian said with some frustration and depression:

"This is the limit. Even if I compress it to such a small point, the temperature can only be raised to two or three hundred degrees. If it's spread out, the temperature will only increase by a few dozen degrees at most, not enough to even cause a scald..."

"My superpower is so useless."

Lin Feng coughed softly.

This superpower doesn't even seem to be able to light a cigarette. Two or three hundred degrees is only such a small point. It's useless for combat, and not very useful as support either.

It's indeed a bit useless at the moment.

But if these rare abilities grow, with the increase in evolution level, they will definitely be of great use.

However, for Liu Qian, who has a very strong sense of self-esteem and has always been somewhat conceited, she had originally been full of expectations for the cross-level evolution, preparing to soar into the sky, but as a result, she awakened such a garbage and useless superpower...

This blow has made her somewhat silent and unhappy since she woke up.

In Liu Qian's opinion, even awakening the most ordinary physical enhancement ability like her brother would not make her become a waste like she is now.

Now, not only is she completely out of the question for combat missions, but she can only follow Ding Yi in logistics and assist her.

And the work Liu Qian is doing now can be replaced by anyone else, even a non-evolved level nine enhanced human.

So her low mood and disappointment are, at their root, actually fear of the future.

Lin Feng saw this and comforted her:

"Don't look down on the energy control ability. It's weak now because you've just completed evolution and your level is very low. You can only mobilize such a small amount of energy at the moment..."

"Chen Shan Shan was the same at the beginning, only able to obscure the vision of the target's eyes within ten meters."

"And at the moment you first awakened after evolution, the full burst of your superpower could even heat an entire bottle of fresh water to boiling in an instant."

"This huge amount of energy can completely heat metal to thousands of degrees!"

"In short, these rare superpowers have a promising future!"

"Don't be too sad, just hurry up and evolve later!"

After listening to Lin Feng's guidance, Liu Qian wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and nodded vigorously.

Seeing this, Lin Feng then asked what the content of the other party's awakening trial was:

"Then, in the process of awakening your superpower, what kind of predicament did you encounter that ultimately led to the awakening of such a rare ability?"

When it came to this matter, Liu Qian was silent for a while, and then slowly opened her mouth after several seconds:

"My awakening trial was to keep moving forward in the wilderness, exposed to the sun..."

"Unlike your challenges, I didn't know how to end the trial, there was no door or specific task."

"I just kept experiencing being baked by the sun until dehydration, and being sun-dried alive in the wilderness..."

As she spoke, Liu Qian trembled, obviously feeling a little frightened and scared when she thought of the memory of the trial.

Adjusting her state, she continued to talk about that experience:

"Until after restarting more than ten times, I tried to do the same as before, no longer avoiding the sun, but instead thinking about how to embrace it and incorporate it into my body..."

"Then I discovered that after the energy of the sunshine entered my body through the surface of my skin, I could vaguely feel its flow and movement."

"Wherever it gathers, the temperature will rise."

"So I began to guide and control the energy of the sunlight, releasing it into the rocks or the ground through my hands and feet."

"Not letting them accumulate in the body."

Speaking of this, Liu Qian breathed a long sigh of relief.

If it hadn't been for her quick thinking at the time, she would have almost died in the trial, becoming a very low probability case of failed awakening in Father Su An's mouth:

"In this way, with one exploration after another, one failure after another, and accumulating experience, I finally succeeded in mastering how to mobilize the energy in my body and gather it in one place for unified release after dozens of resurrections."

"The last time, I don't know how long I walked, until I suddenly woke up and ended the trial."

"This is the whole process of my awakening..."

"Not as thrilling and exciting as yours, only the sun overhead, always exposing me to the sun."

Even if Liu Qian just simply described it, Lin Feng could feel the kind of powerless despair.

Experiencing dozens of deaths, but a hopeless and helpless situation.

It's no wonder that after waking up, she felt particularly disappointed when faced with the awakened useless superpower.

She experienced so much in her trial, but in the end, it was not even as good as a lighter or a match.

Anyone would feel a little withdrawn.

Fortunately, Lin Feng probably already discovered the best way to use Liu Qian's current useless energy control superpower.

After comforting her for a few more words, Lin Feng took out an ordinary rifle bullet and placed it in Liu Qian's hand:

"Just now I saw you spacing out while looking at the bullets in your hand while you were loading the magazine, were you thinking about what would happen if you injected energy into it?"
