Wasteland: My items are infinitely upgraded.

Chapter 189: Probing and Transaction, Points, Questioning
Hearing Chengshan's words, Lin Feng narrowed his eyes slightly.

After thinking for a few seconds, he nodded and said:
"Since Village Chief Li is so kind, let him come and see me. I'll be waiting for him at the village gate."

Chengshan was stunned for a moment, then reacted.

Chief Lin was worried that there was a scam and he had fallen into a trap.

However, he was just delivering a message. Since Lin Feng agreed to meet him, he just had to report the truth.

Chengshan nodded, took twenty boxes of grenades and quickly left the place and went deep into the village.

Three or four minutes later, a specially modified medium-sized tank drove out of the village.

Its style is different from the light tank behind Lin Feng. It has a layer of heavy armor welded on it, especially the front and rear, and has been reinforced many times. The bulletproof windows on all four sides are equipped with iron nets, making it invulnerable to swords and guns.

Its eye-catching appearance is very different from the vehicles in Shuguang Village, and you can tell at a glance that it is not from the same village.

As it slowly approached, Lin Feng also clearly felt a second-level aura, which was as strong as his own.

When the chariot stopped accelerating and kept a distance of ten meters from the crowd, a young man in casual clothes walked out from the side door.

He is only about thirty years old, only slightly older than Lin Feng, but his actual age is several times older.

However, for a second-level evolver, there will be no changes in appearance in the first three hundred years of his life. Of course, if he wants to stay young forever, it is even easier for some female evolvers who have the need.

For example, the Salvation Army’s White Night.

But the youthful appearance cannot hide the weakness and old age in his aura.

The young man walking out in front of him, just like Lin Feng, exudes vitality and has an imposing aura.

He is not like the bishop, who is old and dying, or like Father Suan, who has a strong and powerful aura and is obviously a veteran second-level strongman.

So when Lin Feng and he met eyes, both of them could see the confidence and pride in each other's eyes.

This is Li Mingquan, the most promising young man in the entire oasis and the successor to the head of the Li family in Nongzhuang Village.

As the inviter, Li Mingquan took the initiative to step forward and came to Lin Feng, speaking with a hint of emotion:

"Chief Lin, long time no see."

Lin Feng looked at the man in front of him and realized that he might be his strongest opponent in this rebellion suppression process.

So he stretched out his hand calmly:
"The Li family has only two second-level evolvers. I've heard of Village Chief Li's great name for a long time."

Li Mingquan then extended his hand to shake hands.

The two of them clenched their right hands and exerted force secretly in an instant, and both sides understood the specific evolution level of the other.

Lin Feng narrowed his eyes slightly. Li Mingquan's strength was also at the early second stage, level 22, which surprised him a little.

After all, for the Li family who are in charge of the farm village, they almost control the industry of the entire oasis. Just by relying on the enhanced meat and evolved meat provided by the rock wildebeest breeding, they can earn half of the profits of the oasis town market. It should be very easy to cultivate and support a second-level evolver.

Even if he hadn't reached the middle stage of the second stage, he should have reached the upper limit of the early stage of the second stage, which is level 23. It's impossible that he was still stuck at level 22 after hundreds of years.

There is only one level difference between the two, which requires four level 20 evolution agents, but it is equivalent to more than 800,000 points.

The other forces in Oasis Town may not be able to come up with the money for the time being, after all, it is a cash flow of nearly one million.

But for the Li family, there is definitely no problem.

In the face of such an important event, a major pillar of the family is still only at the twenty-second level of evolution...

Regarding the evolution agent, Lin Feng suddenly realized that the Li family was not unprepared, but this preparation was accidentally intercepted by the Salvation Army.

In the end, it was a bargain for myself!

The original level 20 Rockhorn Evolution Agent was given to Lin Feng by Bai Ye as a reward for covering his exploration deep into the ruins.

If the pilgrim convoy had not been attacked, the evolution agents escorted in the convoy would have been delivered to the Li family as originally planned, and the head of the family, Li Hao, obviously no longer needed the early evolution agents. It could only be Li Mingquan in front of him, or other late evolutionists who could be arranged to be promoted to the second level.

But no matter what, Lin Feng's own rapid progress is attributed to the Li family's rebellion and seizure.

It turns out that chaos is the best ladder to rise!
Without the intensification of the conflict between the two sides, it would be difficult to advance to the second-level strongman by relying on one's own silent development, even if it takes more than ten years.

Compared to Lin Feng's surprise, Li Mingquan, who shook hands with him and sensed the same result, was shocked and terrified!

After all, the man in front of him had just returned two days ago and had just been fortunately promoted to a second-level evolver. This matter has been verified by many parties and is accurate.

But within just two days, he made rapid progress, one level a day, and became a level 22 evolver, absorbing five levels of level 20 evolution agents!
Li Mingquan knew very well that this could not be the work of the church. After all, they had the corresponding second-level holy spring water, which was enough to feed a bunch of second-level evolvers, so they were not interested in other source materials and would not stockpile them in large quantities.

As for the guild, it is even more impossible!

Therefore, the source of evolution of the young and powerful man in front of him can only be possessed by himself.

In this pilgrimage caravan, the Li family only ordered one level 20 rockhorn beetle source material, which was not enough to meet Lin Feng's evolutionary needs.

After thinking about it, there is only one possibility...

After going to the Taishan ruins, Lin Feng obtained a great opportunity. He not only harvested a large amount of weapons and ammunition from the military factory, but also a huge amount of life essence.

Even the raw materials needed for the wasteland wolf essence absorption and transformation that the church is currently carrying out come from Lin Feng's donation.

Now Lin Feng has become a level 22 evolver, on par with himself.

If it were before, Li Mingquan still had the confidence that he could defeat Lin Feng, who was only level 20, by relying on the difference in evolution levels and suppression.

Now he has to face a firearms psychic of the same level, who is fully armed with power armor. Even if Li Mingquan controls the Rock Horse armor, he is not sure of victory, and it is extremely difficult to even slow down the opponent's pace.

Once the two sides fight, they will inevitably be severely suppressed by Lin Feng's long-range firepower output.

Fortunately, after two days of intelligence gathering, Li Mingquan has a certain understanding of Lin Feng's role, role and attitude in the chaos in Oasis Town.

The other party's sale of artillery to Shuguang Village also indirectly confirms those views.

Lin Feng is not a loyal believer of the Holy Spring Sect!

As long as it is profitable, it is not impossible to turn enemies into friends, or remain neutral like the Hunting Guild.

So when the spy from Shuguang Village came to report that Lin Feng was trading artillery shells with the village chief Chengshan, Li Mingquan immediately decided to take this opportunity to come and have a chat.

Test the other party to see if there is any possibility of relief.

At this moment, the two of them finished their greetings and released their hands. Li Mingquan then spoke:

"I think there are still many things between us that need to be discussed in detail."

"Regarding Oasis Town, Holy Spring Village, and the transaction involving those grenades..."

Having said that, without waiting for Lin Feng's response, he asked Cheng Shan beside him to arrange a high-end conference car to come.

Then he invited Lin Feng in and sat on both sides of a set of sofas, blocking the left and right, leaving only the two of them.

Lin Feng originally wanted to refuse, but when he heard that the Li family also needed to purchase grenades, he decided to get in the car and listen.

A Lian and Ma Chenfeng at the village entrance outside the car looked at each other and secretly observed the situation. If something went wrong, they would take the lead to support and cover the leader's evacuation.

After all, close combat was not Lin Feng's strong point. If Li Mingquan had not come unarmed and with sincerity, Lin Feng would not have met him at all.

At this moment, the two of them were sitting in a vehicle with a closed compartment and good sound insulation, and began to discuss.

Li Mingquan spoke first:

"35mm grenades are priced at 200 points each. Since Shuguang Village has already ordered 1,000, our Farm Village also plans to order 1,000, as well as Motorcycle Village. That's a total of 2,000, worth 400,000 points."

"You can pay with anything, whether it's guild points or physical delivery..."

"For example, enhanced meat, evolved meat, and Rockhorn biological products, Rock Armor Shields, and even Rockhorn Battle Armor. For Chief Lin, who is also an Evolver of the Rockhorn Path, they are much more suitable than this unrepairable power armor."

"Besides that, there are also vehicles or live Rockhorn horses that Chief Lin needs. As long as our Farm Village and Motorcycle Village can provide them, just ask for them."

Lin Feng opened the visor of his armor and looked at the man in front of him. He was not worried about how much threat selling these grenades to the other party would pose to his convoy.

A 35mm grenade only has 90 points of damage, which can still cause damage to ordinary trams, but it is like a tickle and has no killing power against either the Wolf Armor Tank or the upgraded heavy truck.

After these vehicles were integrated with alloy wolf bones, they were like wearing a layer of five or six centimeters thick titanium armor. Without 60mm caliber artillery shells, it was difficult to break through the defense.

Although the damage of the grenades purchased by the Li family is average, they cannot be used on the Oasis battleships. Otherwise, if they are not careful, the battleships may stop working, and they will end up losing more than they gain, and be forced to flee.

The reason for placing large orders is, on the one hand, because the opportunity is rare, and on the other hand, it is for self-protection. In case the final outcome is that they become the loser, with grenades in hand, everyone can evacuate this place safely.

Lin Feng only thought about it for a moment, then agreed immediately:
"No problem. I guess we won't have time to trade today. Let's leave it for tomorrow morning."

It is now the eighth day and night, and in seven days it will be the fork in the road to the next Holy Spring Day.

Lin Feng said this in order to delay the Li family and others as much as possible and take action more slowly.

Li Mingquan nodded without changing his expression, but in his heart he was surprised at the huge amount of ammunition in Lin Feng's hands. He sold three thousand in one go without even blinking an eye.

This just shows that the other party must have gained unimaginable amounts from this trip and does not care about these few shells.

If you think about it carefully, what firearms psychics have always been proud of is their own firepower. As long as they are there, that's enough. No matter how powerful the grenades are, they are not as powerful as a full-strength attack from one's own strength.

Thinking of this, Li Mingquan nodded slightly:
"What does Chief Lin need? If you don't have the desired trade item, you can convert it into 400,000 points and transfer it to you from the Farm Village account."

Lin Feng had already made arrangements in his mind and replied directly:
"I need ten level 17 evolution agents, thirty level 14 evolution agents, and seventy level 10 evolution agents."

"The Farm Village has been raising rock wildebeests for years, but they've never sold any life essence. They must have a large reserve of evolutionary agents!"

Li Mingquan nodded and agreed happily:
"The average price of a seventeenth-level evolution potion is eight thousand to ten thousand points. Calculated at eight thousand, that's eighty thousand points. A fourteenth-level evolution potion costs five thousand points, which is one hundred and fifty thousand. Seventy tenth-level potions cost seventy thousand, so the total is three hundred thousand."

"There are still two hundred thousand left. Chief Lin, do you need to exchange for some more enhanced meat or evolved meat?"

Life essence is not rare for a large-scale breeding force like theirs. After all, over the past hundreds of years, so many leader-level horses have produced countless offspring, and the reserves of evolutionary agents have long been piled up like mountains.

The reason is that the demand for evolved meat is greater than that for life essence.

After all, a piece of evolution meat weighing 100 kilograms is only enough for an evolver to eat for less than a year, and if you want to support him in the future, you will need to raise at least a dozen rock wildebeests.

This leads to redundancy of evolution agents, which accumulates more and more over time.

For a leader of a newly established force like Lin Feng, his subordinates have a great demand for evolution agents, but their demand for evolution meat is even greater.

This is exactly why Li Mingquan agreed immediately.

If you take away so many evolution agents, you must also purchase the minimum amount of evolution meat. Otherwise, your teammates will become powerless due to hunger and may even fall apart.

If one wants to buy evolved meat, he or she will be subject to the control of the Li family in Nongzhuang Village and be forced to agree to some additional requirements.

This is the difference in foundation between the two sides.

The Li family could readily agree to Lin Feng's requests, but the Li family's requests made Lin Feng feel constrained.

Lin Feng, who solved the recent shortage of evolution agents, just as Li Mingquan thought, still needed a large amount of evolution meat to maintain such a team.

"I need one ton of level nine enhanced meat and five hundred kilograms of level one early evolutionary meat."

Lin Feng spoke slowly and continued:
"Of course, if your village still has extra mid- to late-stage evolutionary meat, I'd be happy to accept it."

The guild sent over 500 kilograms of enhanced meat. Now the team has 52 members, half of whom have become or are about to become evolvers, and most of them are in the early stage of first-level evolution. The demand for ninth-level enhanced meat will only become more and more vigorous.

As for the late first stage and high-level second stage, there will not be much increase or decrease in the short term. At most, one Cheng Wentian will be added, so the demand will not change much, and the current reserves can fully meet the needs.

Li Mingquan was stunned when he saw this, obviously he didn't expect that Lin Feng would ask for low-grade dried meat.

But that didn't stop him from writing about it.

After pretending to be silent for a while, he replied:
"Chief Lin, you're well aware of the current situation in Oasis Town. The church here has been oppressing our clan too much. In recent years, the profits of our rockhorn beetle industry have been declining. Many of our products have been forcibly acquired by the church at low prices, and the production of evolved meat has naturally also been declining..."

"In recent years, it has become increasingly difficult to survive. Some elderly evolvers have even died from weakness due to lack of evolved meat."

"So this change is what the people of the Oasis want. Everyone hopes to escape the oppressive pressure of the Church, especially the constant exploitation and bloodsucking of the upper-class residents of the Oasis..."

"I know that Chief Lin has no intention of staying in the oasis, and he has no interest in the struggles among the various factions there."

"So I would like to ask Mr. Lin to stay out of this, stay under the oasis, and just be a spectator."

It's time to come!
Lin Feng narrowed his eyes and stared at the man in front of him.

Seeing that Lin Feng did not refuse, Li Mingquan decided to strike while the iron was hot and increase the stakes:
"As long as Mr. Lin agrees, not only will we have the first-stage early-stage evolutionary meat, but we will also provide the mid-stage and late-stage evolutionary meat, and we can trade directly."

"If Mr. Lin is still willing to help, we can deliver the mid- and late-stage evolutionary jerky ahead of time, free of charge, at least 500 kilograms each!"

Good guy!
Even the church only had 500 kilograms of late-stage evolutionary meat in reserve, which after dehydration was only 250 kilograms of dried meat, 100 kilograms of which was given to Lin Feng.

Now the Li family from Nongzhuang Village asked for 500 kilograms each, which is really a big deal!

However, Lin Feng had no intention of buying a ticket on a ship that was bound to sink. If he won, it would be fine, but if he lost, he would definitely be suspected by the church and become resentful.

You will end up picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelons, which is not worth it!
The most important thing is, even if the Li family really won and took the Oasis warships and headed north...

After a long escape of thousands of kilometers, it remains to be seen whether he can escape from the behemoth that is the Holy Spring Sect!
The risk is too high. Unless the Li family can produce a large amount of second-level evolutionary agents to allow Lin Feng to successfully advance to the middle or even late stage of the second level, they will turn against him.

Then he turned around and joined the Savior Army, hiding under Bai Ye's command to recuperate and wait for the right time.

Thinking of this, Lin Feng looked at Li Mingquan who was looking forward to it, and said in a deep voice:

"I want to know why Village Chief Li, or the Li family, thinks they can defeat the church?"

"Even if you finally seize control of the oasis, you will still face pursuit and interception by the entire church. You must know that this is the heart of the Holy Spring Church's territory..."

"As long as a monk from the church escapes and reports the changes in the oasis, all the major holy cities and subordinate towns will come, and even a third-level bishop will come!"

Hearing Lin Feng's concerns and questions, Li Mingquan did not show any sadness. Instead, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he said meaningfully:

"Chief Lin's rise to power was sudden, and he likely doesn't know the current state of the church. How can you be so sure they are united and working together?"

As soon as these words came out, Lin Feng's pupils shrank sharply.

In connection with the various manifestations of Oasis Church...

I suddenly had a bad feeling!
