Chapter 341 Level 20 Evolution Agent and Evolution Meat, Achievements

Seeing Lin Feng's firm refusal, Bai Ye did not press the matter further.

He felt a little regretful and disappointed that he couldn't take Lin Feng with him to Beiyuan.

After all, having such a powerful gun-wielding ability user, who has no hope of advancing to the third tier in the short term, to assist him in conquering all sides...

It can make Bai Ye's path to the third tier incredibly smooth.

But Lin Feng's repeated refusals showed his determination to go to the Holy City.

Bai Ye knew that he had close ties with the church. Although the bishop had died this time, Su An, who took over the oasis, became a rising star in the church. In the future, he might even rise rapidly in the Storm Holy City bishop district and had a high probability of becoming the new third-level bishop.

Therefore, Lin Feng's trip to the Holy City, thanks to his relationship with Father Su An, actually allowed him to gain ample room for development and access to the Church's authority and resources.

In comparison, following Bai Ye to the North to make a living is actually full of uncertainties and carries a high risk factor.

Even if Bai Ye does break through to the third tier in the future, lead the Salvation Army to regain its status as a first-rate power, and build its own third-tier royal city...

That was also Bai Ye's own achievement.

Even if Lin Feng were willing to pledge his complete loyalty to Bai Ye, he would still be an outsider who joined halfway through the journey and would not be able to gain Bai Ye's full support.

Following Father Su An would be a completely different story. The latter is backed by the top-tier Holy Spring Church, and even a tiny bit of resources from the Vatican would allow Lin Feng to live a comfortable and free life.

Understanding this, Bai Ye let out a long breath, nodded, and said:

"That's settled then. But I don't have that many level 20 evolution potions on hand right now. After all, I already gave you one during our last trip to the Mount Tai ruins."

"There are twelve left now. Ten of them are ordinary rock horse behemoth evolution agents, and the other two have been filtered and purified by me and have transformed into pure source material, which can enable the late-stage first-order immaculate evolvers to achieve second-order immaculate evolution."

"Its value far exceeds that of a regular Tier 2 evolution potion. Within the Hunter's Guild, it sells for as much as a million points. I'll just say you have 500,000 points..."

"You can keep it for your own people, or you can sell it to the Hunting Wilderness Guild after you arrive in the Holy City. Although you can't exchange it for a million points, you can easily get three ordinary level 20 Rockhorse Evolution Agents."

"That's equivalent to earning 100,000 points per item, so it's not a loss."

Lin Feng nodded and followed Bai Ye's words, saying:

"Those two pure level 20 evolution agents are worth one million points. Add the ten ordinary ones, and that's two million points, for a total of three million points."

"The total value of the transactions is 3.75 million, still short 750,000..."

"If there's nothing else worth mentioning, the 2,500 wasteland dwellers that these 750,000 points can be deducted from the total."

Bai Ye shook his head slightly:

"Need not."

"Once this opportunity is gone, it's gone forever. After all, even if you subdue the wandering tribes in the wasteland, they're still a bunch of unruly scoundrels. The wasteland people in Oasis Town are much easier to tame."

"We're still short 750,000. Let's use the Tier 1 Evolution Agent. We don't have much Evolution Meat either; we can only give you a hundred kilograms of Tier 20 Evolution Meat Jerky at most..."

"As for the first stage of evolution meat, with your achievements and gains in the attack of the evolutionary wild wolf army this time, you should not lack this much."

"With the addition of ten level 20 evolution potions, the number of second-tier evolvers in the team will be at least as many as possible in the future. It will always be useful to store up more second-tier evolved meat."

Lin Feng nodded; Bai Ye was right.

This town-wide beast plague that struck Oasis Town was a disaster for the Oasis Church and the townspeople.

But for Lin Feng and his convoy, who were outside the area, it was a hunting feast comparable to the Wild Grand Canyon.

The last time Lin Feng faced a herd of thousands of Rockhorse Beasts, he was only at the early stage of first-order evolution and could only watch helplessly as they rode away and disappeared on the horizon of the wasteland.

Now that he has become a second-tier powerhouse, he naturally wants to seize the opportunity and make a big score while the Wilderness Wolf Clan is attacking.

And Lin Feng did indeed do it.

After all, they collected the corpses of more than 1,850 evolved wild wolves, accumulating over a thousand tons of evolved flesh and blood, and also killed two second-tier wild wolf behemoths.

Although the latter only contains a few hundred kilograms of second-tier flesh and blood, the rest of its body, weighing over a hundred tons, consists of level nineteen cellular tissues.

Accumulated over time, this can yield tens of tons of level 19 evolution jerky, which can help late-stage first-tier evolvers quickly advance to the late-stage upper limit of level 19 evolution.

Therefore, Lin Feng does not lack first-stage evolution resources at the moment; on the contrary, he needs reserves of second-stage resources even more.

Because after obtaining the second-tier evolution agent, he, including Chen Shanshan, will definitely break through to level twenty-three, the upper limit of the early stage of the second tier.

At that time, level 19 evolved meat will only be enough for their daily survival. If they are to engage in intense second-tier battles, they will definitely need to consume at least level 20 evolved meat.

Later, when the divine dog advanced to a second-tier wild wolf behemoth, its daily meat consumption became enormous...

The team should have at least two Tier 2 beings, so that when Lin Feng goes out, they can keep the caravan in check and deter his subordinates and other forces.

If you calculate it that way, the second-tier evolved meat stripped from the two giant wild wolf beasts is simply not enough.

Lin Feng's stockpile of 100 kilograms of level 20 evolved jerky has been more than half used up after this great battle and is about to run out.

Although a large amount of Tier 2 early evolution meat can be obtained through the Life Farm after arriving in the Holy City, the journey to the Holy City is fraught with danger, so we must make preparations in advance.

Therefore, Lin Feng readily agreed.

"No problem, I'll buy as much level 20 evolved meat as you can get."

Bai Ye hummed in agreement, then replied:

"There wasn't much left to begin with, but now that Ma Li is seriously injured and unable to get out of bed, and there are no other new Tier 2 members in the team, we can spare about 300 kilograms for you."

"Probably enough for a second-tier early-stage evolved being, a whole year's worth of rations..."

"According to market prices, one kilogram of fresh meat costs 1,000 points, while dehydrated jerky costs double that, 2,000 points."

"Three hundred kilograms is six hundred thousand."

“Deducting the 600,000, you’re left with 150,000 points from the 750,000. That’s equivalent to 5,000 points for a single bottle of early-stage Tier 1 Pure Evolution Agent. I can give you 30 bottles.”

Lin Feng nodded and readily agreed.

The last thirty Level 10 Pure Evolution Agents were essentially just an extra bonus.

The key items are still the Level 20 Evolution Agent and the Second-Tier Jerky; these are what he truly needs.

After finalizing the details of the deal, Lin Feng didn't linger any longer. He immediately got up to take his leave and return to the convoy camp as soon as possible to arrange manpower and begin the recruitment plan.

Before leaving, Bai Ye said one last thing: "If you can't make it in the Holy City in the future, you can come to the North to find me. You're welcome anytime."

"The gun-related abilities you have awakened originate from an ancient ruin in the north, around which many gunpowder and weapons industries have sprung up..."

"For example, in the town of Benniu, which is rich in sulfur and saltpeter, the interior of these areas is where the first gun-wielding ability user from the Old Earth era was buried, the body of a third-tier gun king."

"The Rockhorn Horse Path is ultimately just a side path for alien races and cannot perfectly integrate with our human genes. Even if it is forcibly combined with biotechnology and promoted to a third-tier horse king, it will fall into madness due to the conflict at the source and eventually become a third-tier mad king with a confused mind."

As he spoke, Bai Ye lowered his voice and continued:

"Once I advance to the third-tier king level, my spatial abilities will awaken again, allowing me to observe and manipulate the microscopic realm."

"Since we can extract Rockhorse genetic impurities from Rockhorse source material, we can naturally perform gene purification surgery on Rockhorse pathway evolvers..."

"This technology is extremely taxing on the body and requires the removal of most of the body's tissues and organs. Ordinary evolved beings would certainly find it difficult to withstand, but second-tier evolved beings have extremely strong recovery and self-healing abilities."

"As long as you can pull through, even if you are severely injured, you can transform into an Immaculate Evolver and have more options on the path to the third-tier advancement."

"If Chief Lin is willing, I will do everything in my power to help you remove the part of your body contaminated by the Rockhorn Horse gene. I wish you to become the new third-tier Gun King in the past tens of thousands of years!"

Hearing Bai Ye's heroic words, if Lin Feng were to truly embark on the path of the Rockhorn Horse's evolution, he would definitely be moved by it, and might even be as eager as the Rockhorn Warriors were to flock to the Life Farm, serving it faithfully and following its lead.

After all, being able to break free from the shackles of the Rockhorn bloodline is the lifelong dream of countless Rockhorn evolutionists.

Unfortunately, Lin Feng was already an Immaculate Evolution, so he didn't need to go through any extra steps and was able to forge his own path to the third tier advancement.

However, he still had to maintain a polite facade, so Lin Feng immediately feigned surprise and replied with a slightly exaggerated tone:
"What else is happening?!"

"Then I'll have to trouble Chief Bai. If it really succeeds, when I become a late-stage second-tier being, I will definitely go through fire and water for Chief Bai without hesitation!"

After saying this, Lin Feng cupped his hands in greeting, turned around, and left.

On his way back to the convoy camp, he saw a convoy of more than ten tanks and transport vehicles mixed together on the wasteland outside the Oasis Avenue to the right of the convoy.

The leading vehicle was Lin Feng's ride, the Wild Wolf War Chariot, which combined defense and offense.

In the passenger seat, Chen Shanshan excitedly leaned out and waved her long gun at Lin Feng.

The combat team that went to pursue the wolf army and collect the corpses of evolved wild wolves that the Salvation Army had escaped with has finally returned safely.

The ordinary transport trucks at the rear of the convoy, their tires flattened, were fully loaded with the spoils of their victory, returning home triumphant.

After the two sides met, Chen Shanshan couldn't wait to report:

"This trip was quite fruitful. I also led a small team to kill many evolved wild wolves that devoured the corpses of their own kind..."

At this point, Chen Shanshan seemed to remember something and continued with a hint of regret:
"However, on the way back, we unexpectedly encountered a second-tier early-stage wild wolf behemoth. Judging from its size, it was probably the smallest one, only at the twenty-first stage of evolution..."

"Unfortunately, this guy is cunning, cautious, and suspicious by nature."

"After spotting us from afar, they immediately turned and fled, plunging into the depths of the wasteland without looking back, and we had no means of long-range attacks."

"If it's about a hundred or two hundred meters away from me, I'm absolutely confident that I can take it down with this level 26 armor-piercing wolf spear, which has been enhanced by the Formless Demon Spear!"

Lin Feng nodded.

It seems that the weakest of the giant wild wolves is actually the smartest one, and it's also quite lucky.

Fortunately, Chen Shanshan let it go; otherwise, having lost three heirs in succession, Lang Ao might have spared no effort to drag everyone down with him.

Leaving behind the weakest of the giant wild wolves would give it a way out, preventing it from going to extremes.

After listening to Chen Shanshan's report, Lin Feng immediately asked about the main points of the trip:
"Approximately how many evolved wolf corpses are there?"

Chen Shanshan scratched her head and looked back:

"In order to catch up with the main force, we didn't keep track of the exact number of trucks along the way, but all nine trucks were fully loaded, each with a load capacity of at least fifty tons, so we collected about five hundred tons of wolf carcasses..."

Lin Feng nodded, leaving the inventory and summary to the logistics department.

The weight is five hundred tons, which includes at least four or five hundred corpses of evolved wild wolves...

Although Lin Feng killed more than four or five hundred wolves along the way during the Salvation Army's breakout, considering the wolf clan's consumption and recycling of their own corpses, as well as the Salvation Army's own collection along the way, it was already quite good that they were able to recover even a small portion of them.

After all, only about two thousand wasteland wolves were killed in the entire Oasis Town. Just by going back, they collected a quarter of the number from the main battlefield. It was not a wasted trip.

Lin Feng boarded the Wild Wolf chariot and followed the convoy back to the camp on the right side of the oasis.

At this moment, many newly joined industrial technicians and ordinary citizens in the camp saw the transport trucks returning fully loaded with dozens of evolved wild wolves, and their eyes widened in shock, while their morale soared.

As a result, I became more confident.

The fear of the wolves in the wilderness was evident in the gradually disappearing piles of wolf carcasses above the bus.

Even the strongest evolved wild wolves, even second-tier wild wolf behemoths, cannot defeat the caravan. They will only become the chief's cannon fodder and be transported back as spoils of war.

Ding Yi, accompanied by Rong Yan, quickly came to greet them, followed by a group of newly promoted support staff, half of whom were original members and the other half were newly joined members of the Shangmin team.

They directed the selected logistics team to move the piles of wolf carcasses to the platform used for repairs in the former locomotive village, so that they could be slaughtered, sorted, dried, and preserved later.

At the same time, it begins to count and accumulate, calculate the final amount of gains, as well as the evolution level classification and the amount recorded by the weight of flesh and blood tissue.

Taking this opportunity, Lin Feng took Chen Shanshan back to the Fifth Village, which they hadn't visited in a long time.

I saw a little girl playing with a dog on the road.

It was Su Yueyue who had secretly run away from Shengquan Village.

Lin Feng thought for a moment, then summoned him and they went to the Fifth Village together.

Having survived a town-wide beast calamity and a large influx of deserters, the Fifth Village is no longer what it used to be.

The area was bustling with people, and the scene was chaotic.

Many vehicles were carrying more than twice their capacity, moving at a snail's pace.

The only option was to get off the vehicle and walk, taking turns getting back on to rest, so that the vehicles could catch up with the main group.

Lin Feng quickly found the most conspicuous Hunting Wilderness Guild among them.

When it comes to recruiting people, Lin Feng needs a trusted and prestigious leader to assist him.
