Everyone's on a time-travel adventure! I'm raising city beasts in a post-apocalyptic world

"Hey, you're back! Perfect timing. Come with me tonight to kill some level 4 monsters, wanna come?"

When Guo Yi saw that it was Lin Feng who came to tease them, he said irritably, "I just got back and haven't even had a sip of water yet, what the hell are you going to do?"

"Do you know what we went through in the ruins? We almost..."

"Alright, alright, just kidding to lighten the mood. It's your fault for sneaking off. If Fang Ling hadn't told me, I would have thought some of you had run off on your own..."

At this moment, Lao Chen and the others also got off the train. Lao Chen walked up to Lin Feng, took out a heavy bag from his pocket, and casually tossed it to Lin Feng: "Here you go."

Lin Feng took it, and it felt heavy in his hand. He opened it and saw that there were more than a dozen level 4 ghost crystals, and the rest were level 3 ghost crystals.

「4级诡晶19颗，3级诡晶510颗，欠你的700诡晶平了。」

"Great job!" Lin Feng gave Old Chen a thumbs up. "You came just in time. Looks like we don't need to go tonight."

Lin Feng discovered that everyone else on the train was gone. There were only about ten people, including the Awakened ones, who got off the train. Out of curiosity, a golden light flashed in his eyes, and he thought to himself, "Holy crap, they can do that!"

"Wow." Lin Feng looked them up and down. "You guys are something else, haven't you? You've been secretly improving your strength again?"

Wang Lie walked over and said in a deep voice, "I was just about to tell you this. There is an altar in the ruins we went to that can grant people a profession and greatly increase their strength. Ordinary people can also gain power, but the price is a death rate of less than one in a hundred."

Lin Feng's expression remained unchanged, as if the lives of those people were of little concern to him: "And then!"

Next, Wang Lie explained the general situation of the altar to Lin Feng, and then said:

"I plan to make it public, to give ordinary people who are unwilling to be hunted by monsters for the rest of their lives a chance. They should have a chance to choose for themselves."

After listening, Lin Feng remained noncommittal: "It's up to you. I'm not the captain. You can decide. You know me. I'll lie down if I can, and I'll lie flat if I can. I'll just live my own life."

"Oh...right, a lot of convoys have come to the camp these past few days, and the camp is in chaos. All sorts of things are happening. Go and take care of it. If you don't come back soon, Zhao Gao will take over as captain."

"Zhao Gao?"

Seeing their puzzled expressions, Lin Feng said, "Zhao Gao is Zhao Dayong. I don't know what got into him, but he changed his name and he's been acting all high and mighty these past few days."

"Um!"

Wang Lie nodded to indicate that he understood.

"I'll announce the altar details after I've finished dealing with the convoy, and then we'll set off."

Lin Feng waved his hand: "I'm leaving. My queen ant is waiting for me to form a contract. Call me when the caravan sets off, and don't disturb me while I'm enjoying my life."

After the person had walked away, Guo Yi suddenly said, "This guy... is even more annoying than before."

"But he did manage to get the camp up and running." Wang Lie looked at the bustling scene in the camp, with tents and people everywhere, and then looked at the torn mountain range. "None of us could have sheltered so many people."

On the way back, Lin Feng pondered the connection between the altar Wang Lie mentioned and his own Tree of Life's core ability, "Altar of Life." If the altar's effect was to grant professions, then he needed to find a way to build it as soon as possible. If that wasn't possible, he should build a miniature version first; even a poor one would be better than a damaged one, and then he could improve everyone's strength.

Although Lin Feng said that whether someone lives or dies is not his concern, wouldn't fewer people mean fewer beautiful women?

"Hmm...yes, I'm doing this for myself, to satisfy my own desires, not for others."

Lin Feng told himself this, but his pace quickened a bit.

Back at the villa, Lin Feng saw everyone chatting in the living room and handed the bag containing the strange crystal to Chen Min.

"Sister Min, this room is full of Level 3 Mystic Crystals. Please distribute them so that Yutong and Qingluan can improve their strength. I'm going to break through to Level 4 first. The Queen Ant is waiting for me."

Without waiting for the women to speak, he went upstairs, closed the door, took out 19 level 4 ghost crystals, and began to absorb one of them.

The energy from the strange crystal flowed through his limbs and bones into his dantian, but the expected breakthrough did not occur.

After circulating through his body several times, the energy seemed to be absorbed by something, then transformed into something more subtle and essential, merging into the depths of his muscles, blood, and bones. The tingling sensation made Lin Feng's body tremble.

Lin Feng opened the panel with a puzzled look.

[Level: Pseudo-Iron 3, Human Bloodline Ascension Progress: 11%]

"Um?"

"No breakthrough? What's going on?" Lin Feng was completely dumbfounded. "Why didn't I break through after absorbing a level 4 Mystic Crystal?"

Lin Feng read it through from beginning to end and then noticed that although the level had not changed, the bloodline sublimation had increased by 1%.

"It's not that there's no improvement, but rather that the effect of level 4 Mystic Crystals is reduced due to the bloodline sublimation? Only level 4 crystals can increase by 1%?"

"Damn it..."

Lin Feng thought to himself, "Damn it!" He quickly did the math and realized that even if he absorbed all the strange crystals given to him by Elder Chen, he would only be able to increase his progress by a maximum of 29%.

"Sigh... let's continue."

Lin Feng gritted his teeth. He had come this far, so there was no point in thinking about anything else. He absorbed the remaining level 4 ghost crystals one by one. The energy of each ghost crystal was 'eaten' by his body and used to strengthen the invisible bloodline foundation. Lin Feng absorbed them all in one go.

The final progress stopped at 29%.

Lin Feng leaned back, staring at the ceiling with a look of utter despair: "Where am I supposed to get more than 70 level 4 ghost crystals in such a short time? I have no choice but to risk my life now."

Suddenly, an idea flashed in Lin Feng's mind, and he sat up.

"Beast Taming Feedback!"

When Xiao Xuan evolved, it showed a 10% progress. So theoretically, other beast evolutions should also show similar progress.

Lin Feng checked his evolution points.

[Current evolution point: 79500.]

"Little Black".

[Evolve using 10000 Evolution Points]

Little Black let out a whimper, and a dark golden light surged from its body. Although its size did not change significantly, the dog's aura underwent a dramatic transformation.

[The natal beast, the Evil-Repelling Dog, automatically evolved into a Black Iron Level 4 due to the influence of its Infinite Evolution talent.]

[You have received feedback on your Beast Taming, Bloodline Enhancement +10%, Current progress 39%]

Lin Feng immediately opened Xiao Hei's panel.
