Wasteland: My Items Can Be Infinitely Upgraded-Chapter 470 - 234: Primal Impulse and Life Farm’s Criteria

In Lin Feng’s impression, the gentle-natured Rock-Horned Horses barely struggle even when facing death, only managing a fifty to one hundred percent boost in state.

Their evolutionary choices, made to better adapt to the harsh environment of the wasteland, have gradually abandoned the adrenaline stimulation effect at the genetic and cellular levels.

In return, their cells have gained high durability, capable of enduring continuous contractions and expansions, maintaining motor functions.

But only once, outside the Wild Rift, did Lin Feng witness a Rock-Horned Horse erupt in fierce combat, where even an Early Tier One Rock-Horned Horse dared to challenge a Mid-Tier One being.

That was all for the dominance and mating rights of the herd, where a bunch of young Male Rock-Horned Horses sparred in the underbrush of the Rift Valley, honing their techniques.

Then they went to provoke the Mid-stage male herd leader, trying to seize the herd’s dominance from him.

Under the genetic stimulation to reproduce, the young male Rock-Horned Horse snorted vapor from its nostrils, breathed heavily, its eyes turning red...

And suddenly its combat power multiplied, able to challenge males of Level 14 or higher with a Level 13 evolution.

This impulsive nature derived from genes can bring the most intense stimulation effect.

After the Great Assistant Priest described all this, Lin Feng immediately thought of what he saw outside the Wild Rift.

The Great Assistant Priest, when questioned by Lin Feng, was stunned for several seconds before nodding:

"That’s not wrong..."

"Because only during the breeding period will male Rock-Horned Horses use all means to attack each other to seize mating rights for the herd, even fighting to the death under the urge to reproduce."

"During this period, excellent young male Rock-Horned Horses will erupt with massive strength augmentation, able to achieve tier jumps and defeat leaders of higher evolution levels."

"Thus, the excellent genes of young male Rock-Horned Horses can be passed down."

"From a certain perspective, this feature is the gene’s solution to the herd’s internal competition, allowing only the best genes to propagate and continuously strengthen the individual."

"What the Life Farm does is extract substances that activate this primitive gene, akin to hormones, and make them into Ascension Potion, essentially the adrenaline of the Rock Horse Warrior."

"After injection, it can enhance physique and state by at least fifty percent, and increasing the dosage can even exceed a hundred percent."

"Equivalent to a Level 13 Rock Horse Warrior gaining the strength of Level 16 evolution for a short time."

"The terrifying thing about this augmentation is that it has the same effect even on Late Tier One or Early Tier Two Rock Horse Warriors."

"Unlike our Power Armor, where attribute augmentation decreases as the driver’s evolution level increases."

Lin Feng nodded, as this was the consistent logic of attenuation; after all, the initial augmentation mostly comes from the armor’s inherent strength, and later, if the driver’s evolution level far exceeds the armor tier, the attribute augmentation naturally decreases.

Even the Power Armor he wore, strengthened by the Power of Branding, could only provide a fifty percent strength augmentation, with speed at eighty percent.

To achieve a one hundred percent augmentation, aside from the armor’s inherent strength and energy reserve, whether it could withstand such intense consumption...

The driver could also not endure the sudden boost.

It’s like letting a novice who just passed the basic driving test rush to drive a hundred-ton king’s heavy truck.

But these only apply to mechanical body enhancement upper limits, whereas it’s hard to say when applied to biological organisms or biotic implants.

After all, just humans, under the boost of adrenaline, can briefly erupt with power several times greater than normal state, even footage exists of a seventy-year-old grandmother lifting a ton-heavy small car when her grandchild was trapped under it.

And there are countless examples of survival instincts elsewhere.

In nature, many beasts in desperate situations exhibit extraordinary physical qualities, like an enraged elephant, or wolves in a long-distance chase, or stampeding buffalo flattening the grassland.

With all sorts of hormonal boosts, life as the most advanced and sophisticated "mechanical body" nurtured by nature can erupt with power several times its original.

From cell molecular-level high-speed spinning motors to constantly breaking speed and power upper limits, as long as life exists, it continuously breaks upper limits.

If Life Farm really cracks the evolutionary desolate beast’s genetic stimulation method and develops an adrenaline potion for them...

Then on the current wasteland, millions of Human Evolvers, among which there are equally millions on the Rock-Horned Horse Path, can gain strength to jump tiers through potion injection in a short time.

Bear in mind, except for lack of explosive power, the Rock-Horned Horse is flawless in other aspects.

Once this shortcoming is supplemented...

Then even the Grand Priest clad in Undying Holy Armor would struggle to resist.

However, when Lin Feng looked at the screen, the Grand Priest who fled from the dust cloud had already been locked on again by the Rock Horse Warrior that reacted.

Nevertheless, after about a minute of hide-and-seek, the Rock Horse Warrior striking again no longer seemed as fierce and violent.
