Wasteland: My items are infinitely upgraded.

Chapter 237 Li Mingquan's Rebellion, Unexpected Result
Hearing Li Mingquan's low voice, Lin Feng was stunned for a few seconds, then laughed:
"Brother Li, you're joking. The Li family now has the upper hand and can win more than one match in the late stage of the first stage. In this way, in the second stage battle, only two wins out of three rounds are needed to secure victory."

"The future owner of the oasis will probably be named Li!"

Li Mingquan laughed twice, but the paleness on his face did not fade at all. He lowered his voice and continued:

"But even if there is such an opportunity, I am afraid I won't be able to see it with my own eyes..."

"Chief Lin may not know that our family was able to win the battle just now because the contestants fought desperately, burning their lives to unleash the full potential of the Rock Horse Armor."

"I didn't know there would be such a strong side effect before, but right after the first battle, Li Dehai, the most talented of the fifth generation of the Li family, who is also my great-nephew, was promoted to the 19th level of Evolver before he was even 80 years old, and he also seized the position of the next second-level..."

"His talent is no less than mine, yet he ended up like this!"

Having said that, Lin Feng roughly understood why Li Mingquan said what he just said.

It turned out to be this guy who was worried that he would also be sacrificed by Li Hao and become a victim of the evolution of the biological magic armor.

But if you think about it carefully, it is really possible. After all, Li Hao was a member of the Heavenly Ranking back then. He was ambitious when he was young. He has been dormant for hundreds of years and still wants to risk his life before he turns 500 years old. Naturally, he did not regard his family as too important.

Such a selfish person always puts personal interests first. Li Mingquan is just a talented grandchild among his grandchildren.

Although he is being trained as an heir, when Li Hao can make further progress, even if the heir needs to be sacrificed, it will not be a big problem.

What has been confirmed now is that Life Farm has the technology that can advance the Rockhorn Beetle to the late second stage of its evolutionary path.

Lin Feng guessed that the other party had even mastered the third-level promotion of the Rockhorn Horse.

As for the technical route, he had not thought about it before, but when the biological magic armor appeared, Lin Feng immediately had a shocking idea.

The autonomous evolution and consciousness awakening possessed by the magic armor may not prevent it from becoming a semi-living being and evolving into the third-stage evolutionary cells of the rock wildebeest.

As long as the combat experience is recorded in the genetic sequence, one can become stronger and stronger in battles. This is similar to the normal third-level promotion path.

The existence of the third stage of evolution can achieve true immortality. The most important thing is to solve the problem of premature aging in the second stage, such as gradually blurred memory and continuous decline of spirit due to the long lifespan of individuals.

Therefore, most second-level evolvers only have a lifespan of about a thousand years.

If it lasts any longer, consciousness will gradually become blurred, and brain cells will have reached their limit. Even if new tissues can continue to divide, they will not be able to inherit the original memory.

Eventually, he became a walking corpse without self-awareness and in a daze.

The third stage of evolution is the ability to record self-awareness, including spirit and memory, into genes.

By doing this, as long as the body is not destroyed, it can be resurrected from the proliferation of tiny body cells.

To achieve the effect of immortality.

At the same time, the high-energy-density third-order cells in the body can also form genetic radiation, gradually affecting and even distorting the genetic sequences of surrounding life forms.

If Life Farm masters the third-level rock wildebeest gene, then in the future this organization will be able to command up to one million rock wildebeest warriors in the entire wasteland.

And Li Hao wanted to get a piece of the pie, make up for the regrets he had felt for many years, and realize the dream that was originally impossible to achieve...

Then everything starts to make sense.

What does a family of subordinates matter? As long as Li Hao can become a rare second-stage rock horse warrior, or even a third-stage horse king...

By then, he would be able to rebuild an ordinary second-rate family like this with just a snap of his fingers.

Moreover, it must be stronger than the current Li family and be able to provide more evolutionary resources.

Therefore, in order to win the competition and gain the advantage of the first move, Li Hao must ensure that he can win two rounds of the second-level battle in the next three days.

I have to play myself, but if I need to fight for three consecutive days, it will definitely have unnecessary impact on the subsequent handover of the Oasis Key.

In order to increase the chances of winning, we must conduct tests and collect intelligence.

That is to say, use all means to force the Oasis Church to use its trump card first.

The leaders of the other two villages, Shuguang Village and Jiche Village, would not be coerced by Li Hao. They would only add fuel to the fire and add icing on the cake when they have the advantage.

Instead of providing timely assistance, he risked his own life to fight a decisive battle with the second-level wild wolf warriors sent by the church and collect combat intelligence from the enemy.

Then the best candidate in Li Hao's hand is undoubtedly the only second-level person in the family.

At this moment, in front of Lin Feng, there was Li Mingquan, with a dull face and a dead heart.

This guy used to be in Oasis Town, with the support of the Li family and its head, Li Hao, and he was also a very powerful figure...

Now that it is his time to contribute, he only thinks about surviving.

As expected, they are just for show and cannot be reused.

However, as a potential opponent, Lin Feng still hopes that there are as many people like him as possible.

At this moment, Lin Feng's heart was filled with contempt and disdain, but on the surface he remained calm and said comfortingly:

"Brother Li, you're worrying too much. Are you referring to the contestant who disappeared from his armor during the first competition?"

"That guy overexerted himself, and the Rock Horse Armor, which was running at full speed, overheated internally and was digested, right?"

"I also encountered this situation when I was sparring with Chief Li. He emitted a large amount of water vapor from his body, and the temperature was probably around 50 or 60 degrees."

Li Mingquan nodded:

"That's fine, after all, if you can't handle the heat, you can surrender before you faint..."

As he spoke, Li Mingquan lowered his voice and continued in a tone that was almost only lip-synced:

"Li Hao once sent several sets of armor accumulated by his family to the Life Farm in the Holy City for upgrading and replacing them with more advanced Rockhorn Evolution Cells."

"I only heard him reveal that he added many new modules and functions to the armor, including the ability to automatically inject and release a drug called a sublimator."

"It can instantly improve the combat performance of the armor and rock horse warriors, bringing an increase of no less than 50%."

"It's enough to make up for the armor's lack of explosive power."

"But he never told me there would be such serious side effects, or even the risk of death."

"And it was such a horrible and terrifying way to die!"

When he said this, a hint of fear and madness flashed in Li Mingquan's eyes, as if the horrifying scene he had just seen reappeared before his eyes very vividly.

After a moment of trance, he continued to describe in a low voice that only Lin Feng beside him could hear:

"After the sublimation potion is injected into the Rock Horse Armor, it will enter a frenzied state, and the Rock Horse Warriors driving it will also fight endlessly to defeat the target."

"Until eventually, my own flesh is transformed into explosive nutrients for the armor, satisfying its combat consumption."

"This is also why the driver of the Rock Horse Armor can't be seen inside. He's been completely digested, leaving only a pile of bloody bones scattered at the bottom." "A fully alive person, without his consciousness under control, was devoured bit by bit, losing skin, muscles, blood vessels, and finally his internal organs and brain..."

"We haven't even won yet, and there's no one left."

Having said that, Li Mingquan gulped down a whole glass of brandy, took a long breath, and relieved the anxiety and fear in his heart.

Then he looked at Lin Feng beside him:
"Chief Lin, do you think it would be like this if I were to go on stage?"

"This thing is too evil. Li Hao is really going to any lengths to take control of Oasis!"

Lin Feng nodded, but sneered in his heart.

A few days ago, you, as the beneficiary, were arrogantly negotiating with me in Shuguang Village. But now that it's my turn to contribute, you run away faster than anyone else.

"The amplification mode of this armor is truly sinister. If the opponent wasn't a fully-armored Battle Priest, he would have won the match long before his energy reserves were depleted."

"I watched the second match. Your performance against the 18th-level Battle Priest wasn't that bad. After injecting the Ascension Potion, you won the fight in just two minutes."

"Also, the Rock Horse warrior in the back just fainted due to excessive force, and did not die suddenly like before."

As he spoke, Lin Feng patted Li Mingquan on the shoulder:

"Don't worry, the second-level evolvers on the church's side, except for Father Su An, the other two are in the early stage."

"And I heard they are all clerical priests, and they are not as experienced as you in fighting."

"With Brother Li's strength, even if the church performs surgery on second-level priests, injecting them with wild wolf essence and transforming them into wild wolf warriors..."

"I guess at best we can only fight the Rock Horse Warriors on equal terms. Even if we really need to use the Sublimation Potion, it won't drag on to a stalemate."

"Brother Li, you're worried for no reason."

After hearing Lin Feng's words of comfort, Li Mingquan seemed to have regained his confidence.

In fact, although Li Mingquan has a lot of halos, his actual combat ability is not strong. Firstly, he completed the second-level promotion under the protection and training of Li Hao.

Although they also have actual combat experience and have followed Li Hao hunting many times, the leader-level or patriarch-level rock horn horses have also had friction and battles with wasteland wanderers.

But after all, he had a smooth journey, without suffering much hardship or going through many hardships.

He is a second-generation evolver among the upper echelons of Oasis Town.

If a life-and-death duel really came to pass, he would probably be no match for another young, second-level warrior in Oasis, Han Tao, who was also a consul.

This guy is a real deal, he worked his way up to become a second-level evolver on his own.

He is on the same level as the leaders of the three villages.

Even though he was only at level 21, he could still challenge Li Mingquan at level 22.

It's a pity that this guy is probably waiting for a good price and has not completely surrendered to the Li family and joined this arena competition. Otherwise, the subsequent second-level battle would definitely be very exciting.

Li Mingquan, who was comforted at the moment, regained his former confidence. After drinking a few glasses with Lin Feng, he said:

"Actually, I came here for another matter."

Lin Feng narrowed his eyes slightly, ate another piece of elbow meat that had evolved to level 20, and nodded:

"Tell me, as long as I can help, I will definitely not refuse."

"If Brother Li truly wishes to join the good, I will inform the Bishop tonight. I believe that if you can show sufficient sincerity as a token of your loyalty..."

"The church may agree to your request. Even if they want to liquidate Li Hao and others, they will let you go."

"Then I can act as your guarantor and take you to the Holy City for development, away from this remote and troubled place."

"Didn't your Li family transfer some of their bloodline and resources to the Holy City during the last pilgrimage caravan? When you go there, won't you be able to legitimately take over these resources and continue living a good life?"

After Lin Feng finished speaking, the anxiety in Li Mingquan's eyes suddenly disappeared, and was replaced by a look of desire and hope. It was obvious that he was quite yearning for and looking forward to the prospects described by Lin Feng.

As a result, he put aside the other thing he was going to mention and began to think about the possibility of going to the Holy City to develop after betraying his family.

His family also has some industries in the Holy City, including some gray industries outside the city that serve the Life Farm in the city.

If I go there and take over the business as a second-level evolver and provide protection, it will be completely feasible as Lin Feng said.

Even though the profits from these businesses and the resources they can provide are not as good as those in Oasis Town, they can still allow me, a second-stage early evolver, to live a safe and worry-free life.

Should I become a wanderer and escape to the wasteland, facing an unknown fate and risks, or should I enjoy these thousand years in peace and tranquility?

Li Mingquan had already made his choice in his heart.

Lin Feng just gave him a push on this point, making him more convinced that the latter was right.

Thinking of this, Li Mingquan suddenly made up his mind, his tone changed, and he said:

"My family, no, Li Hao actually has a deep connection with the Life Farm in the Holy City."

"In order to advance further, this guy even sacrificed me, a descendant of the second rank, and the entire family."

"Actually, he called me here this time because he wanted me to test you and find out about the church's arrangements for the competition."

"Especially in the next three second-level battles, which one will Father Suan be assigned to fight in?"

"Also, why did two of the four high priests in the church not participate in today's battle, but instead hid in Holy Spring Village..."

Before Li Mingquan could finish his words, the intercom on Lin Feng's chest and the pager on his waist...

At the same time, a beeping sound was heard.

Lin Feng took it out and saw Shen Yue's voice coming from the intercom given by the church:

"Lin Feng, we're in trouble. We lost the fourth game too!"

"It's 2-2 now, and the score is even. For the next three days, we have to win two out of three!"

After Lin Feng hung up the call, he looked at Li Mingquan beside him.

The latter obviously didn't expect that the Li family would have such a big advantage. Although they still needed to win two out of three games, the Li family was able to win both games today...

This is enough to show that in the battle with the church, the experienced rock horse warriors can have the upper hand.

At this moment in the VIP box,
The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.
