Wasteland: My Items Can Be Infinitely Upgraded-Chapter 487 - 242: The Tier Two Battle Begins Ahead of Schedule
Lin Feng’s brow furrowed slightly. Facing Zheng Yan Ying’s refusal made him realize that earning ten kilograms of Level 20 Evolutionary Meat wasn’t going to be easy.
However, a promise is a promise, and one can’t give up because of a little setback.
After all, there are still three days left until everything is settled, and during this time, Lin Feng’s reputation must remain intact.
The titles of Honorary Governor and Oasis Acting Captain must be prestigious.
Zheng Yan Ying, being an Elite Combat Priest with only Late Stage Tier One Evolutionary Power, wasn’t very informed about certain secret internal information, so there was no issue with her enforcing the law impartially.
Lin Feng knew that arguing with her would only make things more complicated and chaotic.
The best way to resolve this was to have the Priest or Lord Bishop speak directly.
After all, at their level, they were very aware of the future of the Oasis Battleship and Oasis Town.
Once Holy City takes over, the so-called Upper Class and Permanent Residents, and the regulations established to maintain the development of the Oasis, will all turn into vapour.
Anyone of value will become slaves.
Including the strong Deserters on the outskirts.
And pardoning a few petty offending Upper Class individuals was actually considered a good deed.
Otherwise, their future fate would be to become tools of pleasure for the noblemen of the Holy City, trapped in a miserable existence neither living nor dying.
As for giving Lin Feng some face now, it’s just a few Upper Class members, which is completely insignificant.
For the high-levels of the Oasis Church, it’s like using the gains originally taken by the Diocese to earn Lin Feng’s favor, which is absolutely worth it.
During the previous Oasis Supreme Council meeting, when Lin Feng was promoted to Honorary Governor and given the task of Special Guardian of the Oasis Key, the Church should have compensated Lin Feng for temporarily changing plans.
Especially later, when things turned into a duel between Lin Feng and Li Hao due to Patriarch Li’s interference, almost leaving Lin Feng seriously injured.
The Church bears major responsibility for this.
Now, Lin Feng is merely using his position to collect some interest.
After being snubbed by Zheng Yan Ying, Lin Feng wasn’t too concerned. He only confirmed that Rong Xuan, Rong Yan’s son, was in an okay state in prison and hadn’t been physically harmed during the Combat Priest’s interrogation, and then he left the patrol squad’s camp.
To deal with these pampered Upper Class citizens, there was no need to use harsh methods. Under normal interrogation and electric shocks, they would soon recall all sorts of past events.
Wishing to accuse everyone they knew.
After Lin Feng left, Shen Yue shook her head at Zheng Yan Ying, suggesting she shouldn’t have acted this way.
The latter didn’t mind and continued to hold the camp, arranging for the team members to patrol.
She was a battle-born Priest. Promotions and dismissals were not arranged by the Oasis Church, so she naturally didn’t care about high-level thoughts. Except for the Oasis Deputy Bishop, who could affect her position, people like Lin Feng, an outsider to the Church, even with the identity of a Governor and the power of a Tier Two Evolver, couldn’t control her actions.
However, compared to the rigid and stubborn Combat Priest, Shen Yue, who came from an Assistant Priest background, was clearly more adept at reading the situation and knowing the timing, very aware of Lin Feng’s current status.
Especially his special treatment within the Oasis Church.
Unfortunately, Zheng Yan Ying, as the main manager in charge of patrols and handling traitors and spies, had much more say over this matter than Shen Yue, who was just an Assistant Priest.
Otherwise, Shen Yue would have been happy to help Lin Feng handle such trivial matters.
After failing to secure the release, Lin Feng retrieved the Oasis Key from the Branded Armor and arrived at the Great Cathedral. Through a hidden passage, he entered the Command Control Room.
At this moment, both Battle Grand Priests had returned to the front of the tungsten-alloy gate outside the Command Control Room to continue their guard duty.
Having just experienced a great battle during the day, although the aura around them was high in spirit, it was actually a facade of strength with internal exhaustion.
As long as Lin Feng released the aura of a Tier Two Evolver and pressed forward, the two of them would immediately show flaws, revealing their exhausted state after exerting themselves completely.
This is also a major flaw of Evolvers.
After an outburst, even if they manage to replenish energy nutrients quickly, they cannot return to their peak and can only exert normal combat strength.
The endurance of muscle cells and the fatigue following the overexertion of the Spirit is not something Evolutionary Meat can make up for, requiring a slow recovery process.
This is also why the strongest nameholder in Oasis, Patriarch Li, Li Hao, doesn’t fight three rounds in a row in the upcoming Tier Two duels.
Even if he can use Ascension Potion to exhaust all his potential, even sacrificing part of his Life Force to win all the battles...
He will still face issues of insufficient combat strength after.
A Mid-Tier Two Rock Horse Warrior in a weakened state can’t defeat Father Su An at Mid-Tier Two nor can he face the joint attack of Lord Bishop at Late Stage.
Li Hao must ensure that he wins the duel while consuming the Church’s Power, while also preserving more than half his state to prevent the Church from turning hostile after the duel ends.
So it is likely the Church didn’t send the other two Battle Grand Priests to participate in yesterday’s Tier One duel for similar considerations.
Fearing that if all four Grand Priests were deployed, it would cause significant fluctuations in the Church’s core Power in the following days.
Leaving the Li Family and other rebels itching to act, wanting to take preemptive action under the cover of the duel.
As for the Great Assistant Priest urging Lin Feng to come, he likely wished to leverage Lin Feng’s Power to ensure that the Command Control Room was not spied upon.
