Wasteland: My Items Can Be Infinitely Upgraded

Unless a large amount of money is spent and meticulous cultivation is conducted, it is extremely difficult to encounter among the average Evolvers.

After all, even if an Evolver can optimize their physique and appearance during a tier jump transformation, the traces of ultraviolet aging from early years and the wear from combat training have already become genetic traits, deeply rooted from then on.

Although equally beautiful, there are still details that cannot compare with the Upper Class.

However, the Upper Class is only suitable as playthings or pure-blooded clean experimental subjects; they are extremely unsuited to the wasteland environment, and it is destined that they do not have much enhancement value.

Like a group of meticulously bred pet dogs.

From Lin Feng’s Tier Two Evolution perspective, it is exactly so.

The Upper Class before him seemed more like a pile of objects or pets than Evolvers.

Therefore, he had no emotional waves towards the pleas and temptations of the Upper Class and directly released his Tier Two aura.

The powerful aura and pressure instantly frightened the people before him, and a patrolling team from the Church quickly rushed over sensing the disturbance.

The leader was none other than Shen Yue, who had entered the Late Stage.

The latter smiled faintly at Lin Feng and then ordered his subordinates to drag the Upper Class from both sides away and lock them in the house.

In just over ten seconds, a path was opened for Lin Feng.

Shen Yue led the way for Lin Feng ahead:

"Lord Su An has been waiting for a long time, please follow me, Leader Lin, it is within the Church District."

Lin Feng murmured a response and followed up ahead.

The two left the Upper District and entered the Great Cathedral.

At this moment inside the cathedral, a white-haired old man was quietly sitting in the main seat of the lecture platform, below sat Father Su An, Leader Bai Ye of the Salvation Army, and the President of the Hunting Wilderness Guild.

The three were speaking in hushed tones, discussing the possibility of a second sneak attack by the Desert Wolf Race.

Seeing Lin Feng coming, the three immediately came to greet him.

Right now, the people present were the strongest force in the Oasis.

Father Su An showed a long-lost smile and nodded to Lin Feng, praising:

"Leader Bai has already recounted to me the process and details of the battle. This crisis was resolved in advance, thanks to your intelligence and decisiveness, along with your firearms superpower."

"The Town-breaking Beast Calamity has been initially resolved, and the reward promised by the Church remains unchanged. You should also select the personnel and equipment you want to take away as soon as possible according to our previous agreement, to avoid any delays."

Lin Feng nodded and then spoke:

"There is one thing I want to say in advance."

Father Su An narrowed his eyes slightly and nodded slightly.

Lin Feng then revealed his distribution plan:

"Originally, I was to receive thirty percent of the personnel and equipment. I want to change this to source three parts from Nongzhuang Village, with the remaining two parts coming from Dawn Village and Mechanical Village."

"Mainly because the convoy has just been expanded and assembled, and for the extension of the Yan Jiao Horse Industry, there is not much demand for solar panels and electric vehicles. On the contrary, the Rock-Horned Horses themselves require a breeding industry to provide a large amount of Evolutionary Flesh to meet member demand."

"I wonder if the Church agrees with this."

Hearing Lin Feng’s additional condition, Father Su An fell into contemplation.

Originally, a thirty percent reward, Lord Bishop agreed verbally, as long as Lin Feng acted swiftly, even if people from Holy City came to take over afterward, the responsibility could only be recorded under Lord Bishop.

And now Bishop Zhang Hui is about to pass away.

As they say, the debts are wiped clean once someone dies, and so it is unlikely to be further pursued.

But now Lin Feng’s request is equivalent to splitting away nearly half of Nongzhuang Village, the foundation of Oasis Town.

Such an outrageous request, Lord Bishop certainly would not have agreed to it at the time, and to bear responsibility would undoubtedly fall on Father Su An currently in charge.

When handing over power to the Cultivator from Holy City, it would be difficult to provide an explanation.

Seeing Father Su An’s hesitation, Lin Feng immediately added:

"The quota to take away from Nongzhuang Village, about one thousand three hundred people, I will hand over four hundred of them as support reward for Oasis Town to the Salvation Army."

"This way, the burden on the Church is also alleviated."

"It’s equivalent to giving two parts of the reward, making it easier to explain to Holy City."

"After all, for an external force like the Salvation Army, hiring a Tier Two Peak existence to assist, plus a team of hundreds of Evolvers, is not too high a price."

Upon hearing Lin Feng’s planned arrangement, Father Su An immediately changed from worry to joy, readily agreeing:

"Alright! If that’s the arrangement, then there’s no big problem!"

"You should proceed as soon as possible; by then, there is me for Holy City’s side."

"Besides these, you can take the surviving Deserters if you wish, as without your last-minute intervention, they would hardly have survived."

"Alright, let’s discuss the serious matter."

"Lin Feng, how likely do you think it is for the Desert Wolf Race to pursue and counterattack?"

Lin Feng’s eyes narrowed slightly, then he looked at Bai Ye, who, though silent, raised his eyebrows thoughtfully when the reward of four hundred people was proposed.

Seeing this, Lin Feng directly gave his analysis:

"There will be no shortage of pursuit and harassment along the way unless the Wolf Race can confirm that reinforcement forces from Holy City have already arrived. Otherwise, there are bound to be small discontented wolf packs following all the way."

"As for a counterattack or a second war, the likelihood is not very high, as Wolf Ao is now severely injured and temporarily unable to fight again."

"Of the remaining three-headed Desolate Wolf Beasts, two have been slain under the cannons, and the remaining one is slightly injured as well."

"The last retreat they made, two giant beasts seemed to retreat towards the right side of Oasis Avenue, likely having decided after realizing the total failure of besieging the Salvation Army, to hunt and escape from Han Tao."

"By the way, about Han Tao’s situation..."

Father Su An sighed:

"I have already learned about this from Chairman Xu, but I didn’t expect Governor Han to be so cowardly, thinking of escaping alone when faced with a pack of wolves."

"If it weren’t for the rescue operation, his actions would have already amounted to desertion."

"Yet, nobody expected that Oasis Town would manage to escape a calamity easily. If he had stayed back, he might have become a contributor and earned a share of the spoils."

"Now being chased by Wolf Ao and the Desolate Wolf Beast, it’s poetic justice, reaping what one sows!"

Lin Feng nodded, knowing that had it not been for Han Tao’s unforeseen action at the time, it would probably have been more difficult for Wolf Ao to choose to give up the attack and retreat entirely.

After all, given an option of retreat, no one would risk their life to continue fighting.

Estimating currently, Han Tao might have already perished at the wolves’ maw, and even if he narrowly escaped death, he would no longer pose a threat to Lin Feng.

Having heard Lin Feng’s insight, Father Su An exhaled a long breath and addressed everyone:

"In this way, everyone’s opinions are quite unified. Now let’s lift the crisis; it’s estimated that about half a day remains for the convoy led by Father Wan Hai to reach the Oasis from Holy City."

"Lin Feng, you and Leader Bai should best leave before Holy Spring Day, taking the three-way junction ahead, veering off Oasis Avenue to the west and directly traversing that piece of Wilderness."

"This way, you can avoid Holy City’s team and enter the main migration road ahead of time."

Having said that, Father Su An took out a voucher and handed it to Bai Ye:

"This is an amnesty certificate issued by Lord Bishop, with the Holy Spring Badge on it. Within the Holy See’s territorial jurisdiction, when encountering interception teams, presenting this will let them pass."

"Regarding the amnesty of the Salvation Army, it still needs Holy City’s approval to pass, thereafter disseminating to the major Great Saint Cities and then delegated to town-level powers. Quickly, it takes several months. In the meantime, you should use this."

"By the time the badge loses its effectiveness, the amnesty message should have already been notified."

Bai Ye nodded, respectfully accepting the badge, then took his leave.

Xu Wanfeng also followed, leaving the cathedral.

Only Father Su An and Lin Feng were left, along with the unconscious Lord Bishop.

Seeing no other people around, Father Su An slowly withdrew his smile and looked gravely at Lin Feng.

The latter’s breath immediately caught.

A foreboding feeling surged from Lin Feng’s heart.

Father Su An first glanced at Lord Bishop, then spoke in a low tone:

"Something’s happened..."

"The reinforcement force sent by Holy City, a large team led by the Knight Commander, according to the plan, should have arrived at Oasis Town half a day ago."

"They encountered an attack a hundred kilometers ahead, in Ancient Zhengzhou City, with the majority of the members missing..."
