Wasteland: My items are infinitely upgraded.

Chapter 260 The Transaction: A Warning Against Unknown Dangers
Father Su An wanted to leave behind four special wolf-tooth armor-piercing weapons, which was somewhat unexpected by Lin Feng.

He originally thought three would be enough.

After all, there are only two matches left in the arena. Now, besides Father Suan and the bishop, the only other person in the Oasis Church who can fight is a high priest who has just been promoted to the second rank.

As for the remaining two second-tier priests, they lack practical experience and are of little use with them. The other two level-nineteen archpriests, who are still capable of fighting, are limited by their evolution levels, so even if they use the Armor-Piercing Wolf Spear, they will find it difficult to unleash its full destructive power.

The reason is simple: the armor-piercing effect of the steel wolf fangs requires the strength of the same level to be achieved. Although their armor-piercing ability is top-notch, they still require a lot of strength to control them.

A level 19 Grand Priest, equipped with the Undying Holy Armor, can briefly unleash the power of a level 20 evolved being, but cannot continuously overdraw his power for such bursts.

However, the batch of armor-piercing weapons forged by Father Suan, which resembled level 26 armor-piercing weapons, required at least 30 to 40 tons of force to easily break through the early stage of the second tier Rock Horse Armor with a single blow.

When facing Li Hao's level 25 Rock Horse Armor, it would take a force of 40 to 50 tons to unleash the true power of the Armor-Piercing Wolf Spear.

Therefore, the three handles represent the limit that the Oasis Church can currently control and use.

However, this request was utterly insignificant compared to the reward offered by Father Suan.

Although Lin Feng was not interested in breeding rock horned horses, if he were to establish a second-rate power in the future, a medium-sized settlement at the town level would still need such a stable meat production plant.

Gathering a group of people from related industries as a technical reserve as soon as possible is also a good option.

Lin Feng was more concerned about Dawn and Motorcycle from the other two villages. One village could produce important parts for vehicles, and the other could assemble, repair, and modify the final products, adding various weapons and functions.

It is equivalent to the foundation of basic industries.

Although there is no systematic professional training, it is sufficient to meet most of the needs in the wasteland.

At the same time, it makes up for the shortcomings of Lin Feng's internal upgrade system. Without imprinting, it can only upgrade the attribute level of the target item equipment to the potential limit.

Although the power of the brand is useful, it is only Lin Feng's exclusive brand equipment. Once Lin Feng's personal label is applied, no one else can use it.

While this can slightly improve the shortcomings of the upgrade system, it only solves Lin Feng's own problems. To arm his entire force, he still needs to establish a complete industrial system.

The upgraded system is like a quantitative accelerator, which can effectively speed up the progress from one to ten.

But the qualitative leap from zero to one, from nothing to something, still needs to be accomplished by Lin Feng himself.

Therefore, it is necessary to equip a large number of large-caliber guns and cannons, with a minimum quality of level 10, in order to improve the firepower of the entire team.

Simply relying on empowered shells cannot truly achieve unlimited firepower.

The future direction of artillery shell production machines is not low-volume, low-grade shells, but top-tier heavy artillery with wide-area destructive power, or even high-precision long-range missiles.

Through empowerment effects, it gains terrifying power to threaten or even kill second-tier evolved beings.

Ordinary standard weapons, of course, need to be updated and replaced from scratch.

These heavy weapons are either buried in bottomless underground shelters in today's wasteland, or have long been firmly controlled by top powers.

Even many ordinary first-class forces, such as third-tier royal cities, only have light weapons bullets and firearms. Heavy firepower that can cause widespread damage has always been a contraband that top forces strictly control and prohibit from leaving the country.

With a bit of luck, one might be able to snag a few cannons through the Hunter Guild or the black market, but equipping hundreds of soldiers or arming a second-rate force is clearly out of the question.

In addition, Lin Feng plans to build his own super warship as a mobile base fortress, which will require a large number of skilled technicians to transform resources into a giant war machine.

If Father Su An, representing the church, agrees to let him take some of the permanent residents of the three major villages, then Lin Feng will be able to have his own group, just like the Salvation Army.

It is also the foundation for building a first-class royal city in the future.

The price paid was merely a wolf-piercing spear forged from forty kilograms of refined steel wolf bones.

So Lin Feng didn't think much of it, and after pondering for a while, he reluctantly agreed.

After the two parties reached an agreement, Lin Feng took the opportunity to tell Father Su An about the problems he had encountered in the Oasis Upper District.

The main issue is getting people out of trouble.

Rong Yan, the female owner of the canteen in Shangmin District, hopes to get her youngest son, who has been arrested for committing a crime, released from the Oasis Church prison through Lin Feng.

Although Li Mingquan, who acted as the middleman, had unfortunately perished in the first second-tier arena competition, even without his matchmaking and guarantee, Lin Feng would not take the money and not do the job for the benefit of his own credit.

Moreover, he had already collected a large amount of Tier 2 evolution meat, which, although only level 20, was still quite valuable.

Ten kilograms is enough to earn 10,000 points, and that's the standard price. Given the current turbulent situation in Oasis Town, the buying and selling price could probably increase several times over.

Even in the Great Holy City ahead, level 20 evolved meat is the hardest currency among evolved beings. Usually, only second-tier evolved beings are qualified to obtain it and use it for trade.

In the mid-to-late stages of the second tier, the points issued by the Hunter's Guild become difficult to circulate, since high-level materials are scarce, and in most cases, transactions are conducted through barter.

Because the guild's warehouse contains very few valuable treasures for mid-to-late stage second-tier evolvers.

Unless one joins the Wilderness Hunter Guild and becomes a core member, like Xu Wanfeng, or participates in the guild's King Hunter Project, one is qualified to access advanced evolution resources.

Therefore, only in urgent situations that require a large number of points will second-tier evolvers use points for trading.

For example, the promise Father Suan is making now is a real division of the Oasis forces in exchange for a number of key technical personnel.

Instead of using the church's points in the guild to exchange for the key armor-piercing materials in Lin Feng's hands.

Father Su An, speaking over the walkie-talkie, couldn't help but chuckle twice after hearing Lin Feng's question.

"It's probably no use talking to me about this. The priests in the Oasis are mostly the bishop's confidants. Even the priests sent from the Holy City have a hard time commanding them."

"However, at this critical juncture, it's just a few people from the Upper District. His Holiness the Bishop won't care too much. You can just mention it when the time comes."

"If all else fails, I'll speak to the bishop for you when I get to the oasis."

Lin Feng nodded. It would definitely be more convenient for Father Su An to handle this matter than for him to do it himself, since he was a member of the church and also the future heir to Oasis Town.

Moreover, the bishop has been disappearing frequently lately, and Lin Feng is an outsider in the church district. The only people he can contact are people like Shen Yue. It's far more convenient for Lin Feng to find Bishop Zhang Hui than for him to find Su An.

Everything had been discussed, and Father Su An was preparing to leave. Lin Feng also needed to contact Chen Shanshan again to explain the new allocation plan.

Then he suddenly remembered that if Liu Qian felt the inexplicable agitation of the blazing sun energy within her, wouldn't Su Yueyue, whose curse was even deeper and had penetrated to the bone marrow, be in an even more serious situation?

Thinking of this, before Father Su An could hang up, Lin Feng quickly came up with a way to respond and hurriedly reminded him:

“Just now, during the battle, my lab reported that the mutant cells synthesized from the second-tier Wasteland Wolf cells exhibited abnormalities for a period of time, aging at an accelerated rate.” “We suspect that during that period, there were frequent and intense fluctuations in the intense solar energy nearby, causing these defective genetically mutated cells to die on a large scale.”

"I'm worried that Su Yueyue will be affected..."

Upon hearing Lin Feng's words, Father Su An's expression changed slightly, and he became anxious inside, but on the surface, he remained calm and replied:
"There shouldn't be any major problems. During the surgical modification, in order to prepare Su Yueyue for the upcoming Wild Wolf Source Modification, I specially had her lie in a hibernation chamber filled with holy spring water."

"The protection of the holy spring water can effectively isolate the transmission and interference of internal and external energy. Originally intended to alleviate her condition, it can now also have a counteracting effect."

"The previously agreed-upon deals and plans will proceed as scheduled, and I will prioritize ensuring the forging output of armor-piercing weapons."

"Remember to tell me the shape and specifications of the six weapons you have over there when you hand over the materials."

Lin Feng nodded, thinking about the current situation in Holy Spring Village, where, due to the overexertion and injuries of the second-tier archpriest, only one second-tier archpriest remained...

When Father Suan boarded the Oasis warship, the village's defenses would be at their weakest.

The Li family's defeat in the first arena battle was primarily due to the Rock Horse Warriors created through the modification surgery. This would fuel Li Hao's interest in Holy Spring Village and his hatred for Father Su An, the instigator.

With these two factors combined, Li Hao might even take the risk of retaliating against Father Su An and Shengquan Village.

For example, they could destroy the laboratory used for surgical modifications, or kidnap key personnel close to Father Suan.

Father Suan has a sickly and frail daughter, which is not a secret in Oasis. Most of the high-ranking officials in Oasis Town, who have planted spies in Holy Spring Village, know about it.

Therefore, kidnapping Father Suan's daughter, threatening and coercing him to give up and admit defeat during the duel could be a winning strategy.

Although it's a bit underhanded, at least we can win.

Even if Father Suan is loyal to the Vatican and neglects his daughter, he can still use this incident to interfere with and influence the opponent's fighting mentality.

As long as there are no more two second-tier powerhouses in Holy Spring Village, Li Hao can completely destroy Holy Spring Village while dealing with one of them.

The perfect opportunity came when Father Suan left Holy Spring Village and set foot on the oasis.

At this moment, there is only one second-tier Grand Priest in Holy Spring Village, who still has the strength to fight. However, he has only just entered level 20. Even if he enters beast form and transforms into a Wild Wolf Warrior, he cannot withstand the repeated attacks of Li Hao, who is level 26.

The moment Father Suan leaves will be the most dangerous moment for Holy Spring Village.

Lin Feng immediately told Su An his concerns and offered a solution before Su An could hang up:
“You said before that you wanted to entrust Su Yueyue to me for temporary care, so it’s a good time to send her over ahead of schedule.”

"No matter how cunning Li Hao is, he would never have imagined that Yueyue would be in my convoy."

"Moreover, my subordinate Chen Shanshan has already become a second-tier evolver. With her special abilities, even if she can't break through the Rock Horse Armor's defenses, if Li Hao wants to make the attack flawless, he will definitely travel light."

"Wearing the bulky Rock Horse Armor is tantamount to announcing one's identity, so if he were to risk taking action, he certainly wouldn't use the Rock Horse Armor."

"In this state, even if he is a level 26 Rock Horse Warrior, he won't have an advantage against Chen Shanshan. Just the perception shield alone will be enough to give him a hard time!"

Lin Feng's proposal was quickly and highly approved by Father Su An.

As the situation gradually deteriorates, Father Suan will undoubtedly be overwhelmed with dealing with the Li family and other rebel forces, as well as the impending arrival of the Holy City Diocese forces.

Rather than keeping Yueyue in the hibernation pod and risking being discovered, it's better to entrust her to Lin Feng for safekeeping.

As an outsider and a gun-wielding superhuman, he possesses abnormally strong firepower. Neither the Li family nor the higher-ups of the diocese would easily offend this wandering church hunter.

Su Yueyue is safer in his team than by his side.

After both parties finalized the plan and follow-up arrangements, they hung up the communication.

Lin Feng then took out the team's walkie-talkie and reconnected with Chen Shanshan.

Inform the other party of any changes to the transaction details and any subsequent tasks.

After explaining everything, Lin Feng prepared to leave the aerial pavilion.

He could already feel the effects of the blazing sun behind him. Even if the fluctuations in the sun's energy were very weak, long-term exposure to strong ultraviolet rays would accelerate cell aging, leading to darkening and sagging of the skin.

Not to mention that Lin Feng had been at this height of sixty or seventy meters above the ground for nearly half an hour, and even with his back to the blazing sun, he could feel a slight stinging pain in his back and neck.

Just as Lin Feng finished packing up and was about to leave, some small dots began to appear faintly on both sides of the Oasis Avenue ahead, above the layers of withered yellow wasteland.

In Lin Feng's view, they were like ants, in groups of four or five, crossing the horizon or the tops of earthen slopes and hills.

It then disappeared into the shadows on the back slope.

Because they come and go so quickly, only appearing briefly on mountaintops or slopes, they are difficult to spot.

If Lin Feng hadn't frequently used his cannon for long-range aiming training, ordinary evolved beings would never have noticed this.

They would only assume it was due to uneven heating and cooling in the distance, causing light refraction caused by rising air currents.

But Lin Feng found it very suspicious.

Because of this martial arts competition, the total number of people sent by both sides was only about one hundred.

Moreover, the arena is located on the right side of Oasis Avenue.

However, the black spots that appeared were present in all directions, including north, south, left, and right.

Most importantly, although these moving black dots are smaller than ants in Lin Feng's eyes, they are objects comparable in size to transport vehicles when they come close.

The distance between the two sides is at least fifteen kilometers.

Is this the Holy City convoy that came to provide support?
Or was it a backup plan arranged by the Li family, or a plundering brigade assembled by wanderers?

Countless thoughts flashed through Lin Feng's mind, including Bai Ye's Salvation Army.

But as these black dots of light appeared more and more densely, Lin Feng suddenly had a very uneasy premonition...

Just then, the walkie-talkie on my waist rang again.

Chen Shanshan called, sounding slightly excited:

"The divine dog has awakened! With Ding Yi's help, it has successfully completed its first metamorphosis and evolution, becoming a first-tier evolved wild beast!"
