Wasteland: My items are infinitely upgraded.

Chapter 157: Deduction, Synthesis of Second-Order Evolutionary Meat, Secret

"I'm planning to go down again later to see if I can collect more second-level steppe wolf essence from the station tunnel."

"After all, I need more resources now to exchange for the high-level evolutionary meat I need. Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't even be able to protect myself in the subsequent battles."

Lin Feng spoke slowly, directly admitting that he still needed to go to the field, as well as his current shortcomings:

After crossing several levels and quickly being promoted to a second-level evolver, there is a crisis of not having enough high-quality food.

In fact, Bai Ye knew this problem very well.

Or maybe this is one of the reasons why Bai Ye dared to sponsor Lin Feng and help him quickly advance to the second level, in addition to the fact that he is an evolver of the Rockhorn Horse Path.

Even if one becomes a second-level evolver, without sufficient food reserves, their combat effectiveness can only last for a few hours, and even less than an hour when they burst out at full strength.

So for the Salvation Army, even if Lin Feng became a second-level evolver, he would not be much of a threat.

In subsequent actions, the Salvation Army can make better use of this to restrain Lin Feng and keep him working for the Salvation Army.

The only problem now is that Lin Feng is a little too eager for success and seems to have been contaminated by some dirt.

Bai Ye looked at the man in front of him and recalled the strange behavior he had exhibited when he was moving military equipment.

This made the leader of the Salvation Army a little worried.

As she is about to be promoted to the third level, she actually values ​​Lin Feng very much, especially since he is a firearms mutant. Even if he only has the evolutionary limit of the middle stage of the second level in the future, his strength will definitely be the number one person below the third level.

This kind of person neither threatens him nor can release a killing power that is no less than that of a third-level king. He is simply a perfect subordinate and thug.

When he builds a new royal city in the future and obtains a large amount of second-level evolution agents or second-level evolution meat, he can use them to "hire" Lin Feng to help him dominate the area.

So Bai Ye doesn't want such a good seedling to die prematurely and be wasted in the operations in this restricted area of ​​the ruins and Oasis Town.

In the future, Lin Feng will shine brightly on the stage of the wasteland city.

And now, looking at a faint black aura emerging between his brows, Bai Ye felt deeply worried.

So she whispered:
"Are you feeling okay? You should feel better after some sun exposure, right?"

Lin Feng narrowed his eyes, nodded, then turned around and waved to his teammates at the cave entrance, signaling them to go back first.

Then he asked in return:

"There's a strong risk of mental contamination in the bottom three layers of the ruins. Wasn't Chief Bai aware of this before?"

Hearing the doubt and criticism in Lin Feng's tone, Bai Ye frowned slightly and shook his head:

"What happened in the Tarzan Refuge happened thousands of years ago. The City of Savior hadn't been built yet, and I hadn't woken up yet."

"Besides, I've only been here two or three times. I only know that the old Wolf King is buried in the Taishan ruins. The specific events of that time are only recorded in the historical documents of major forces."

Speaking of this, Bai Ye suddenly realized something:
"Could it be that the source of pollution at the bottom of the Feicheng Ruins is really the body of a third-level king?!"

Lin Feng looked a little gloomy and did not comment.

This is not an ordinary third-level body, but a top-level powerful body that is about to achieve transcendence.

According to the current name, a great god should be buried in the ruins of Feicheng. Although he has not taken the final step and cannot be considered a true god, he can at least be compared with the gods of the Shepherd's Law.

The leaders of the battle for the Tarzan Sanctuary must have been led by the gods.

The Wolf King and the wolf clan he leads are just a cloak to cover up the despicable means of the gods. They themselves are just destructive tools to stop Zong Shiyue and complete his transformation.

In a real battle, it is not the turn of a third-level wolf king to intervene.

Bai Ye sighed and said earnestly:
"So I suggest you try not to go down there anymore. Who knows what kind of monster will be born and evolve in a polluted third-level body."

"Especially since you've just entered the second stage of evolution. Although you have a certain resistance to genetic pollution, your foundation is unstable. At this time, you are most vulnerable to mental invasion."

Lin Feng nodded and raised the rapid-fire cannon in his hand:
"But I need to evolve my flesh, otherwise the transformation of Oasis Town will be in vain."

Bai Ye thought for a moment and replied:
"You can't eat the evolved meat of a corpse wolf. Although it's not seriously contaminated, it's basically contaminated with the third-level cells of the Wolf King. It's fine for steppe wolves to eat it, but not for humans, especially those who have evolved from the Rockhorn Horse Path."

"However, the current reserves of evolutionary meat in the oasis are not too much. With the war approaching, the relevant evolutionary meat jerky will definitely be more scarce than the second-level life essence."

"How about this? I'll convert ten of the original twenty pure first-order essences into a hundred kilograms of late-stage first-order evolutionary meat, level seventeen, which will still be effective for you."

Lin Feng was slightly stunned. He didn't expect that Bai Ye was really willing to make concessions just because he complained.

Although the selling price of a piece of pure source material is as high as 5,000 points, which is equivalent to ten kilograms of level 19 evolutionary meat, that is the final selling price of the guild, and Bai Ye's shipping price is only about 2,000 to 3,000 points.

The unit price of level 17 evolution meat is 300 points per kilogram. Ten bottles of pure evolution agents are equivalent to 100 kilograms of level 17 evolution meat. On the eve of the war when prices in Oasis Town were soaring, this was actually quite good.

Lin Feng estimated that the late-stage first-order evolutionary meat, as the minimum standard meal for second-order evolutionists, has become a strategic reserve for all forces. If he wants to dig some out of them, even the early-stage second-order life source will not work.

The price will naturally increase several times.

The reason why Bai Ye was willing to spend so much money was, of course, because he saw that Lin Feng, as a second-level firearms ability user, could play a key role in the upcoming battle in Oasis Town.

But for Lin Feng, just one hundred kilograms of level seventeen evolved meat can only handle one or two battles at most. Especially after returning to Oasis Town, his team may have an additional level two evolver to protect himself in close combat.

So by then, the consumption of the first-stage late evolutionary meat will become faster.

And what Lin Feng wants is the second-level evolved meat.

Only by eating them can one quickly recover from injuries at the most critical moment, thereby saving one's life or turning the tide of battle.

The first-stage late evolutionary meat can only fill the stomach and has a relatively slow recovery speed, while the second-stage evolutionary meat is like an energy supplement that can stimulate the potential of the second-stage evolver in a short period of time.

"Is there any second-level evolutionary meat?"

"no!"

Until Lin Feng asked about this, Bai Ye refused without hesitation and explained:

"For Level 2 Evolutionary Meat, we've only been able to buy a few hundred kilograms in the big city over the past year, spending quite a bit of money to exchange. We normally wouldn't even be able to eat it ourselves, which is why we need to establish our own breeding industry."

"Furthermore, the patriarch-level wild beasts in the wasteland are not so easy to kill, especially those in the middle and late stages. Their intelligence is no different from that of humans, and they all know each other."

"Wild beasts also huddle together for warmth."

Lin Feng thought of the situation in the Wild Rift. Without heavy artillery, it was impossible to kill the patriarch-level rock hornbill.

But if that's the case, what do so many second-level evolvers usually eat and drink?
"If a second-order clan leader-level wild beast is so difficult to kill, then how do mid-to-late-stage second-order evolvers survive? They can't just stay in a hibernation pod all day."

"Could it be that the big cities have already established a breeding industry for second-level wild beasts?"

Bai Ye smiled:
"After advancing to the middle stage of the second stage, all cells in the body transform into second-stage cells. As long as you're not in combat mode, your daily consumption is actually very low. Generally, you only need to eat a pound of second-stage evolved meat every two or three days." "This is the minimum consumption required to maintain the evolutionary level. In this state, the evolver's strength will not increase, which means that the number of second-stage cells in the body remains constant."

"As for the second-level wild beast breeding industry? Their intelligence is higher than most humans. How can you convince them to be eaten by humans?"

"Besides, who said that in order to obtain the second-level evolutionary meat, we must kill the second-level wild beast?"

Lin Feng's expression changed slightly, and Bai Ye rejected all possibilities:
"You can't...eat human flesh, right?"

Unlike mutated wild beasts, most of human's evolutionary cells are concentrated in the brain and alienated parts of the body, especially brain tissue. Eating too much of it can easily lead to deformation or schizophrenia.

This is how refugees in the wasteland came about.

A second-level evolver transfers the rich essence in his body to his offspring before his death, thus ensuring the stability of the family continuation.

Without the blessing of the source essence, the evolution level will plummet and the evolutionary meat will naturally no longer exist.

Just like the wild beast tribe in the wasteland, having so many of the same kind gathered around the patriarch-level wild beast can, on the one hand, ensure that the patriarch does not lose himself, and on the other hand, ensure that the strength of the race steadily improves.

The two complement each other and continue to survive.

"Human flesh? You're overthinking it. This is no longer the barbaric era. Top forces have already conquered the second stage of evolution. They can artificially cultivate second stage cells and even catalyze the creation of second stage evolvers."

Bai Ye spoke eloquently. Her experience far exceeded Lin Feng's, especially her common sense about wasteland advanced evolutionists:

"For monks like the Holy Spring Cult, simply drinking Holy Spring water of the corresponding level will replenish their evolutionary cells and all the energy they need."

"This is also one of the reasons why the church can support so many monks and become the top force in the wasteland."

"Behind them stands the great Lord of the Holy Spring."

"As for the guild's hunters, some evolvers from top-tier forces, including us, we purchase the high-end supplies we need in big cities on a daily basis."

"For example, synthesized second-level evolved meat not only has no risk of genetic contamination, but is also rich in a certain amount of second-level essence, is nutritious, and can be preserved for a long time."

"Synthetic evolution meat?"

Lin Feng was a little puzzled. The last time he heard about this was during the old Earth era when a group of vegetarians created this IQ tax product.

Bai Ye nodded:
"Yes, it's synthesized, and it's in the Holy City in front of Oasis Town. An organization called Life Farm, formerly a biotech company, controls the cultivation of second-stage evolutionary cells for rockhorn horses and other wild beasts."

"The Li family bought their second-level essence from it."

"And to master these techniques, we must conduct a large number of live experiments. Therefore, a living second-order clan leader-level wild beast is far more valuable than a dead one."

"It's just that it's too difficult to capture him alive. Without the cooperation of multiple late-stage second-stage evolvers, it's difficult to capture him alive."

"When my breeding farm is running smoothly in the future, I'll invite you to hunt and capture a Chieftain-level Rock Wildebeest together. As long as we build a second-level evolutionary meat synthesis factory, I'll take care of all your evolutionary meat needs!"

Lin Feng's mouth twitched. Bai Ye had already started to make promises before anything happened. He was indeed worthy of being the leader of the Salvation Army.

However, this also reminded Lin Feng that if he could conquer and master the artificial cultivation technology of the second-order evolved cells, then whether the third-order could also be mass-produced.

Back in the old Earth, because the third-level evolvers banded together for support, research institutions were unable to conduct experiments and analysis on them. Even if they did, they were private teams under the control of the evolvers, and the results were difficult to benefit the public...

Now, after thousands of years of turmoil, with the gods rising to rule, holding power and oppressing the world, research on the third level of evolution can definitely be carried out.

After Lin Feng asked about this, Bai Ye nodded and looked towards the northern wasteland:

"I heard that the super-powerful force that rules the North seems to have initially developed artificial third-order cells. However, third-order kings do not need to consume the meat of evolved cells of the same order. The genetic radiation they release can directly change the surrounding environment, and then absorb higher-level biomass from it."

"Just like in the restricted area of ​​the ruins."

"This is also why third-level kings cultivate their own first-class forces. It's all due to the need for survival..."

"Currently, the third-level cellular agent is still in the experimental stage. Some late-stage second-level evolvers are also trying to implant it to see if they can bridge the gap between the second and third levels."

"But it's difficult. The third level requires the transformation of superpowers and the fusion of spirit and body. The third level cells are just the foundation, but also the result. There is no shortcut."

Lin Feng nodded, not quite understanding.

Then he followed Bai Ye and took away the reward.

An hour later, Lin Feng returned to the camp not far away, carrying a sack of dried meat and a small box containing five pure evolution agents.

There are only fifty kilograms of level seventeen evolutionary jerky. The remaining half, together with five evolution agents, will be delivered to Lin Feng when the Savior Army attacks the farm village in Oasis Town.

Bai Ye had already made the biggest concession, so Lin Feng also decided to wait and complete the task as soon as possible to reduce the length of stay.

After all, this little bit of evolved jerky couldn't stop his tunnel clearing and collection plan.

After Lin Feng left, Bai Ye immediately ordered the Salvation Army to speed up their packing.

Lin Feng and others have completed the task, and the sunlight-reflecting rack built at the entrance of the shelter can be dismantled and put away.

After inspecting the machine tools, Ma Li came over and led her mechanics to start dismantling the equipment.

She looked at Lin Feng's receding figure and spoke slowly:
"This guy probably won't give up so easily. He definitely wants to go down and continue the action."

Bai Ye shrugged:

"Let him be. That's all I have to say. Even if the bird dies for food, it's what he deserves."

Ma Li nodded, but then she thought of something else:

"He should have someone to rely on. From what you've said and his behavior just now, he doesn't seem to be in trouble at all."

"This guy is definitely not simple. The power of the artillery in his hands is much stronger than that of ordinary firearms psychics. Maybe there is some secret behind this."

Bai Ye's mouth corners slightly raised:

"Who can make it in the wasteland without some skills? Even we have the legacy of the royal city that allowed us to get to where we are today."

"Let's go. Once this operation is successfully concluded, I will also take the final step..."

Ma Li was slightly surprised:

"Really? Doesn't it take at least a few years?"

A layer of blue light appeared in Bai Ye's clear eyes, and the aura in his body was long and powerful, like a dormant white tiger breathing out, and ripples of distorted space were faintly appearing around him:

"After fighting the third-order distortion king, I gained some unexpected insights and gains. It shouldn't take long."

"Once he becomes a third-level king, Lin Feng will have no secrets left in front of us."
