Wasteland: My Items Can Be Infinitely Upgraded

After deciding on Ding Yi as the third candidate for Tier Two Evolver, Chen Shanshan’s Level 23 evolution is nearing completion.

At this moment, her power has directly doubled compared to the earlier Level 21.

The basic strength of over ten tons has increased to thirty tons, easily erupting to nearly forty tons of terrifying destructive power.

She can shatter steel plates over ten centimeters thick with a single punch.

When wearing power armor, she can effortlessly challenge late Tier Two Evolvers, and even cooperate with dark domain superpowers to achieve cross-level kills.

Once Chen Shanshan becomes familiar with the constantly emerging power within her body, Lin Feng also prepares to undergo his final enhancement at the early Tier Two stage.

A total of four pure Level 20 Evolution Agents, worth four million points in the wasteland, even if sold at half price to the Hunting Wilderness Guild, would still be over two million.

Enough to exchange for ten regular Tier Two Rock Horse Evolution Agents to create an early-stage Level 23 strong person.

Yet these precious resources could only enable Lin Feng to step from Level 22 to Level 23.

With everything ready, Lin Feng consumed five kilograms of Level 20 jerky at once and then injected four pure Evolution Agents consecutively, lying on the experiment table for transformation.

Meanwhile, Ding Yi also discussed future plans with Chen Shanshan.

Currently, aside from the far exceeding leader Lin Feng, the team’s combat power ranks second with Chen Shanshan.

She possesses extremely strong close combat abilities, unlike Lin Feng who easily suppresses groups and factions, Chen Shanshan is especially suited for targeting specific individuals...

And as the number two in the team, her primary task is to assist Lin Feng in maintaining order within the convoy.

Chen Shanshan responded quickly:

"You mean, I need to keep an eye on Ah Lian and also Ma Chenfeng?"

"Ah Lian shouldn’t be a problem, we recruited her from the start, she has participated in several battles and missions, earning our trust."

"The main concern is Ma Chenfeng, he comes from a wanderer background, halfway through, he joined us. Apart from this battle, his origins are unclear."

"Once he becomes a Tier Two Evolver, there’s no telling when he might reach out to his former subordinates during Lin Feng’s absence, leading a mutiny and departing..."

Ding Yi nods, realizing that after all these experiences, Chen Shanshan is no longer the naïve girl she once was, understanding the importance of planning ahead.

However, these analyses only scratch the surface, not realizing the real crisis lurking within the team.

Thinking of this, Ding Yi replied:

"Yes, Ma Chenfeng needs caution, but initially promoting Ah Lian was to allow balance between her and Ma Chenfeng."

"This way, we can maintain middle-tier power equilibrium."

"As a Tier Two Evolver, especially a Level 23 strong person, your objective clearly isn’t just to intimidate a Tier One late-stage Evolver."

Chen Shanshan frowned slightly:

"You and Lin Feng mean not to consider promoting Ah Lian and Ma Chenfeng to Tier Two for now?"

"Then who is the next candidate for Tier Two evolution? It can’t be Ah Ming or the Liu Family siblings, right?"

Among the initial team members, aside from Ah Lian having combat ability, the others were Ah Ming, Liu Mingfei, and Liu Qian.

Only Ah Ming has some combat experience among these three. Since the Wild Rift operation, Liu Mingfei has continuously served as the driver.

Not participating directly in frontline combat with threats.

This is understandable, Lin Feng never forced teammates to risk death, and besides, the team needs a reliable driver to ensure the convoy’s long-term stability.

His sister Liu Qian, meanwhile, has gradually become marginalized due to her awakened superpowers.

Lin Feng and Ding Yi worry that her absorption and release of energy might relate to the Scorching Sun Forbidden Area’s Scorching Sun Curse, easily transforming her into a cursed individual.

If she is at risk of being eroded by the Scorching Sun Curse in the future, she might easily become a Fiery Sun Cultist, spreading the curse to others for her own survival...

Thus, Liu Qian currently only empowers grenades and bullets, keeping her away from other matters.

In this light, only Ah Ming remains among the three who can take on this responsibility and possess some combat capability after promoted to Tier Two.

Yet this approach neglects the essential in pursuit of the peripheral.

Promoting Ah Lian directly would be more effective.

Seeing the confused look on Chen Shanshan’s face, Ding Yi chuckled before continuing:

"Don’t overthink it, the next candidate for Tier Two evolution, after discussing with Lin Feng, has been finalized as me!"

Chen Shanshan looked surprised:

"You?!"

"But you have no combat experience!"

"Even if promoted to Tier Two, you’d only be equivalent to a logistics support personnel, akin to a regular priest in the Church. Even becoming a Tier Two Evolver, your combat power would at most be equivalent to a Level 19 strong person."

"Managing Ma Chenfeng alone might work, but it’s too wasteful of resources, especially since Tier Two Evolvers consume several times the resources of a late Tier One evolution."

Ding Yi adjusted his glasses, disregarding Chen Shanshan’s candid evaluation, he continued:

"What do you think is the most important task for our team right now?"

Chen Shanshan pondered:

"To establish a foothold in the Holy City, then set up a mature industry like Nongzhuang Village, to provide Lin Feng with armed troops and evolutionary resources in the future."

Ding Yi nodded:

"According to our previous plans, this industry is the Desert Wolf evolution path, mass-producing Desert Wolf Essence Evolution Agents, used to suppress Rock Horse Warriors as a selling point, selling at twice the base price for considerable profits."
