Wasteland: My items are infinitely upgraded.

Chapter 348 Chen Shanshan's Evolution, Filter and Pure Source Material
Resources are scarce, especially advanced evolutionary resources in the mid-to-late stages of the second tier.

To advance to the late stage in solo combat, one must either participate in the siege of other top-tier forces in the wasteland or hunt down late-stage Tier 2 wasteland behemoths.

As for excavating from the remains of a prehistoric refuge, the probability is even lower than hunting a giant beast.

At least the existence of the behemoth is certain.

For example, Wolf Ao, the leader of the Wilderness Wolf Clan, and the ten-headed late-stage Rockhorse Giant of the Rockhorse Clan.

Regardless of the method, it is something that second-tier evolvers can only hope to encounter once in a while.

It takes a long wait to be lucky enough to encounter it.

This is why Bai Ye, with her auxiliary abilities, is ranked among the top ten in the second-tier rankings.

The latter utilizes hibernation technology to achieve centuries of age freeze, waking up only at crucial times to participate in various major events.

Based on the normal life experience of a second-tier evolver, to accumulate enough resources to advance to the peak of the second tier, one would be at least four or five hundred years old at present.

This is equivalent to having lived half of one's lifespan.

The probability of breaking through to the third stage at this middle age is extremely slim.

Bai Ye, however, still maintains the physical and mental state of an eighty-year-old, which is extremely rare in the wasteland.

This is precisely why she was able to make up for her lack of background and cultural foundation.

Like other exceptionally talented second-tier evolvers, they were at least born into first-class royal city forces, with a third-tier king as their ancestor.

Father Suan, backed by the Holy Spring Church, a top-tier force, has no shortage of resources for training as long as he is outstanding enough.

After the mission in Oasis Town is completed, the Oasis warship and its settlement will be successfully returned to the control of the Holy City. Having completed the mission assigned to him by the Holy City, Father Suan can at least be promoted to the late stage of the second tier based on this achievement.

At that time, he will be able to become a powerful late-stage second-tier expert before the age of forty.

Even Lin Feng, who was not yet thirty, could only look up at him from behind.

After all, leaving behind the resources provided by large forces and following Bai Ye to the Chaotic Land, it might not be difficult to obtain mid-stage second-tier evolution resources.

However, the late-stage second-tier resources, which are precious resources that only top-tier forces can control, are extremely difficult to obtain unless they involve core interests, such as helping the rulers of top-tier royal cities or third-tier kings.

In addition, such opportunities are rare, often requiring a wait of decades or even centuries.

By then, the opportunity will probably be too late.

Therefore, if you want to break through to the late stage of the second tier as soon as possible, you can only contact the large first-class forces in the Holy City, such as obtaining the late-stage Rockhorn Evolution Agent from the Life Farm.

Alternatively, one can proceed as planned, taking on an important position within the Hunter's Guild and participating in the Hunter King Plan to obtain the qualification for exchange.

After completing the transaction and returning to camp, Lin Feng ordered the troops to continue their advance.

The entire convoy slowly set off.

Three hundred vehicles of different sizes and models raced across the wasteland, creating a spectacular sight.

At the rear of the convoy followed an additional convoy.

It was the Li family who had followed the group fleeing Oasis Town.

There were only 150 people in total, traveling in 30 vehicles, forming a small convoy, following behind Lin Feng's main force.

Most of them are ordinary transport vehicles.

There were only five armored vehicles and only one large heavy truck, which was used to store important supplies.

However, the members of their team are all core members of the Li family, all of whom started as first-tier evolvers, and most of them are still in the mid-to-late stages of first-tier evolution.

Only a few skilled technicians who have mastered the aquaculture industry, or promising young talents, can leave with them at a level of ninth-level enhancement or early first-order evolution.

To escape the fate of being purged and enslaved by the bishopric.

However, for the surviving members of the Li family today, the future remains uncertain and full of unknowns.

They might suffer heavy losses, or even be wiped out, if they were attacked by the Wilderness Wolf Clan or harassed by wanderers on their way.

In short, if they want to arrive in the Holy City safely in the days to come, they will need Lin Feng's help.

Otherwise, any unexpected event could cause this small convoy to fall apart.

The main problem is that the strength of the first-order evolution is too weak. Even among the wanderers, they are at the bottom level and can easily be plundered and swallowed up by other forces.

If there is still a second-tier being in charge, even if the Li family loses its most important industry, Farm Village, they can recover quickly.

Their purpose in going to the Holy City was precisely to cultivate a new second-tier family head for the family as soon as possible by making prior arrangements there.

As the convoy moved forward, Lin Feng's thousand-person convoy slowly followed behind the Salvation Army and the Wilderness Hunter Guild, creating some distance between them.

Lin Feng looked back and saw that the Salvation Army was already in contact with the Wilderness Hunter Guild. He could see Bai Ye's figure entering the Wilderness Hunter Guild headquarters building.

The core buildings of both sides are of similar height, and can be clearly distinguished even when they are four or five kilometers apart.

After the handover was completed, Lin Feng walked back to his desk in the office, where Chen Shanshan and Ding Yi knocked on the door and came in.

The two women carried the second-tier evolution agent they had just exchanged, along with 300 kilograms of level 20 evolution jerky, to the second floor of the office.

With Lin Feng in charge, this is the safest place in the entire team, even safer than the Wild Wolf Chariot.

Lin Feng looked at the twelve second-tier evolution agents in the freezer and then told Chen Shanshan to get ready.

She was the first to use these, initiating the evolution.

Because he is stronger, he can provide protection for Chen Shanshan.

Even if he is the only one in the team, a second-tier evolved being can easily deal with various emergencies, such as an attack by the wasteland wolf clan.

Once Chen Shanshan evolves to a higher level and possesses the strength to stand on her own, Lin Feng can rest assured that he can evolve on his own.

Seven of the twelve evolution agents were taken out, and Ding Yi was instructed to retrieve a batch of source material extraction filters that had been purchased from the Oasis Church from the Wild Wolf Chariot.

Two of them have already been upgraded by Lin Feng to nano-level source material filters.

As Lin Feng received the source material filter, the device's level and attribute information appeared before his eyes:
"Nano-grade source material filter level 18, red quality, brand"

"Basic Attributes: Maximum Aperture 10 nanometers, First-Order Genetic Impurity Filtration: 100%; Second-Order Impurity Filtration: 100%; Usage Times: 1; Upgrades consume health points."

"Evaluation: Can perfectly filter out foreign genetic impurities from first- and second-order life essences, obtaining pure essences to achieve immaculate evolution. The degree of filtration of third-order life essences is limited, requiring a maximum pore size of 1 nanometer to achieve complete filtration of impurities."

The 18-stage source material filter has a filter membrane pore size of only 10 nanometers, which can perfectly filter out genetic impurities in the source material, mainly large protein chains.

Although Chen Shanshan is already a level 21 evolver, she wouldn't suffer too much contamination even if she used the Rockhorn Evolution Agent directly. But since she has the means to use pure source matter, there's no need to save this little bit of energy.

After all, updating the level 18 filter only requires five health points.

For Lin Feng, this was the amount of meat jerky consumed in two 20-level evolutions, which was only about 100 grams.

One-tenth of a standard one-kilogram piece of jerky.

Even if you filter out all ten source substances in one go, it's still just a piece of jerky.

The real bulk of the consumption actually comes from other first-order source matter.

According to Ding Yi's current statistics, all the first-tier evolved wild wolves captured in this war can yield at least 3,500 level 10 evolution agents, 1,000 level 14 mid-stage evolution agents, and 150 level 17 late-stage first-tier evolution agents.

Roughly calculated, if all of them were filtered into pure medicine, it would require more than 4,600 filtrations...

Lin Feng then grabbed at the other ordinary filters:

「Purification Extraction Filter Level 9, White Quality」

"Basic Attributes: Maximum pore size 100 nanometers, First-order genetic impurity filtration rate: 100%; Uses: 1; Upgraded to potential limit, can be increased through branding."

"Evaluation: Able to perfectly filter out foreign genetic impurities from first-order life essence, obtaining pure essence to achieve immaculate evolution."

This is a filter that has undergone two normal upgrades. It can perfectly filter out genetic impurities in first-order life essence, and only consumes a little life value each time.

Although it's only a little, the quantity makes up for it.

Four thousand six hundred health points, which translates to at least ninety-two pieces of level twenty evolved jerky, or ninety-two kilograms in weight.

Not to mention the enormous consumption of jerky, at a price of 2,000 points per piece, it would require 184,000 points...

Lin Feng himself will also be overdrawn in terms of energy through continuous consumption and replenishment, and will need a long period of rest to recover.

Moreover, the investment of 184,000 points alone is a considerable expense.

Although Pure Evolution Agent is expensive, costing five times as much as Rockhorn Evolution Agent of the same level.

For example, a level 10 Rockhorse evolution agent costs 1,000 points, a level 14 costs 5,000 points, and a level 17 costs 30,000 points. Converted to pure evolution agents, these amounts to 5,000 and 25,000 points, respectively, and the most expensive one below the second tier costs 150,000 points.

Once the property is sold, Lin Feng will instantly become a top-tier tycoon in this wasteland, and it will only be a matter of time before he builds his own Tier 3 royal city and super land-based warships.

The problem is that he has a hard time selling them.

Not to mention the small market size, although there is demand, it is limited to the major first-class forces, making it difficult to promote, after all, there are also restrictions imposed by the top large forces.

If Lin Feng dares to openly sell his services, the Holy Spring Church's Templar Knights will come knocking on his door the very next day to offer their assistance.

Even the Salvation Royal City couldn't withstand the double blow from the combined forces of the Holy See and the giant corporation back then. Lin Feng, who is only at the second stage of evolution now, can at most secretly sell some things under the guise of the Salvation Army.

At most, only one-tenth of the current number, which is about 460.

Moreover, a portion of it was used to train the Immaculate Evolvers within their own teams.

The former were merely tools on Lin Feng's path to becoming stronger, while the Immaculate Evolvers he carefully cultivated were his comrades-in-arms in his fight against the various forces and gods.

Because of their status and position, they are the least likely subordinates to betray Lin Feng.

Only when Lin Feng achieves transcendence and defeats the other gods can he find a path to break the curse of the blazing sun and achieve complete liberation for them and all of humanity.

Instead of becoming livestock raised and herded by the gods, driven away for millennia to come by the forbidden zone of the blazing sun behind them.

After removing one-tenth, the remaining nine-tenths will become Ding Yi's experimental materials.

And when the Steppenwolf evolution path matures in the future, it will be used to manufacture Steppenwolf Evolution Agent, which will then be sold to various settlements at double the price.

Currently, there are at least a million Rockhorn Warriors in the entire wasteland, and the newly born Wild Wolf Warriors are simply the natural nemesis of the Rockhorn Warriors.

The Wild Wolf Warrior can easily repel Rock Horse Warriors that outnumber it several times over, and can also quickly kill Rock Horse Warriors of the same level, or even defeat Rock Horse Warriors of a higher level.

In short, the effects of this approach can be even more intense than those of pure potions in the short term.

Most importantly, it can perfectly avoid offending top powers and prevent them from launching devastating attacks.

Completely legal and compliant, the leaders of various small and medium-sized settlements, as well as some local small families, would probably hate the Wasteland Wolf Path and Lin Feng to the bone.

But Lin Feng didn't need to worry about that at all. After all, he not only had a thousand-strong force under his command, but more importantly, he had his mount and most loyal comrade-in-arms, Wolf Ao.

A leader-level giant wolf that is about to advance to the second tier.

It could completely intimidate countless rock horse warriors.

Those two fresh, early-stage Tier 2 wild wolf behemoths will also serve as stepping stones for Lang Ao's breakthrough, helping him lay the most solid foundation.

At that time, Chen Shanshan, the God's Child who controls the Dark Domain, will be present...

And the Divine Dog, the successor to the third-tier Wolf King...

With the assistance of two top-tier second-tier evolved beings, the three-person formation is capable of both offense and defense, combining ranged and melee combat, as well as the intimidating presence of their massive size and endurance in battle...

The team's combat strength is comparable to that of a peak second-tier evolver. Not only can they gain a foothold in the Holy City, but they can even go further and seize the opportunity to break through to the third tier in one fell swoop!

Of course, advancing to the third tier is not easy; many people get stuck here for life.

No matter how glamorous the past was, no matter how extraordinary one's talent was, one will lose all confidence in front of this threshold.

The most difficult part is to fully combine one's own internal essence and genes, so that the two become one and become the source of power.

This is also the realm that Bai Ye, at the peak of the second tier, has already touched upon and reached.

For those who evolve into pure beings, this path is not easy, unlike other fusion evolutions or heterogeneous evolutions where predecessors have already paved the way for advancement.

You need to explore and understand it yourself.

Ultimately, he grasped the method of fusion, combining and refining the life essence that filled his entire body to extract the power of origin.

Besides this, there is another important shortcut.

That is the pure third-order origin that has been refined and filtered!
Although pure Tier 3 primordial power is difficult to maintain in a polluted environment, it is not impossible to create.

After filtering the seven level 20 evolution agents, Lin Feng handed the pure potion to Chen Shanshan, and then looked at the pile of filter materials brought by Ding Yi.

The longest one of them is the picometer-level filter that he enhanced using his branding and upgrade abilities!
It is also the only tool that can obtain the pure source:
"Picometer-level source material filter level 20, orange quality, brand"

"Basic attributes: Maximum pore size 100 picometers..."
