Wasteland: My Items Can Be Infinitely Upgraded-Chapter 529 - 260: Trade, Warning of Vigilance, Unknown Black Spot

Father Su An wanted to keep four special Wolf Fang Armor-Piercing Weapons, which took Lin Feng by surprise.

He originally thought three would have been more than enough.

After all, only two matches remained in the ring tournament. In the Oasis Church, apart from Father Su An and Lord Bishop, there was only one other person who had just advanced to a Tier Two Grand Priest.

As for the remaining two second-tier priests, they lacked combat experience, and having the weapons wouldn’t be much use to them, while the other two Level 19 Grand Priests, who were still capable of fighting, found their evolution level limited. Even with the Armor-Piercing Wolf Spear, it was hard for them to fully utilize its destructive power.

The reason is simple: the armor-piercing effect of the Fine Steel Wolf Fang relies on the power being at the same level. While its armor-piercing ability is top-notch, it requires substantial strength to wield.

Level 19 Grand Priests, even when paired with the Undying Holy Armor, can only briefly burst out with Level 20 evolution power but cannot sustain such outbursts continuously.

And the batch of simulated Level 26 armor-piercing weapons forged by Father Su An requires at least thirty to forty tons of force to easily break through the early Tier Two Rock Horse Armor.

When facing Li Hao’s Level 25 Rock Horse Armor, forty to fifty tons of massive force would be needed to bring out the true power of the Armor-Piercing Wolf Spear.

Thus, three weapons are already the limit that the Oasis Church can currently utilize.

However, this requirement is trivial compared to the trade rewards offered by Father Su An.

Although Lin Feng has little interest in breeding Rock-Horned Horses, if he truly establishes a second-tier influence in the future, a town-level medium-sized settlement, a stable meat output factory would still be necessary.

Gathering a group of industry-related personnel early as a technical reserve is also a good choice.

What Lin Feng values more, however, are the Dawn and Locomotive of the other two villages. One is capable of producing important components for vehicles, and the other can assemble and modify the final product, adding various weapons and functions.

It’s equivalent to having a basic industrial foundation.

Even though there isn’t systematic professional training, it is enough to meet most needs in the wasteland.

Simultaneously, it compensates for the shortcomings of Lin Feng’s internal upgrade system, as without Branding, it can only upgrade the attributes of target equipment to their potential upper limit.

While the Power of Branding is useful, it still remains Lin Feng’s exclusive branded equipment, and once affixed with Lin Feng’s personal mark, others cannot use it.

This slightly improves the shortcomings of the upgrade system but only solves Lin Feng’s personal issues; establishing a fully armed force requires building a comprehensive industrial system.

The upgrade system acts like a quantitative accelerator, effectively speeding up the progress from one to ten.

But from zero to one, from nothing to something, that qualitative leap requires Lin Feng to achieve it himself.

So, a large batch of equipment with a minimum quality level of Level 10, comprised of large-caliber firearms, is necessary to enhance the firepower strength of the entire team.

Solely relying on Empowerment Shell cannot truly achieve unlimited firepower.

The future positioning for the production of shells is not for mass production of low-level shells, but for top-tier heavy artillery with large-scale destructive power, or even high-precision long-range missiles.

With the empowerment effect, they would possess terrifying power capable of threatening or even killing Tier Two Evolvers.

And ordinary standardized weapons need to be completely updated from scratch.

These heavy weapons, in the current wasteland, are either buried in bottomless underground shelters or tightly controlled by top-tier forces.

Even many ordinary first-tier forces, like Tier Three Royal City, only have light weapon firearms capable of causing widespread damage; heavy firepower has always been closely held and forbidden to be leaked by top-tier forces.

With luck, one might find a few firearms through the Hunting Wilderness Guild or the black market, but equipping hundreds of soldiers or arming a second-tier influence clearly isn’t possible.

Moreover, Lin Feng intends to build a super warship, uniquely his own, to serve as a mobile base fortress, requiring a large number of skilled workers to transform resources into giant war machines.

If Father Su An, representing the Church, agrees to let him take some permanent residents from the Three Major Villages, then Lin Feng could have a foundation like the Salvation Army.

This also lays the groundwork for building a first-tier Royal City in the future.

And the cost is merely an Armor-Piercing Wolf Spear crafted from forty kilograms of Refined Steel Wolf Bone.

So Lin Feng didn’t think much, and after pondering for a while, reluctantly agreed.

After reaching an agreement, Lin Feng took the opportunity to tell Father Su An about the issues he encountered in the Oasis Upper District.

The main issue was rescuing people.

Rong Yan, the lady boss of the Upper District canteen, hoped Lin Feng could help get her son, who was arrested for wrongdoing, released from the Oasis Church’s prison.

Although Li Mingquan, acting as an intermediary, already perished in the first Tier Two ring tournament, even without his connection and guarantee, Lin Feng wasn’t going to take money without acting.

Moreover, he had already received a large amount of Tier Two Evolutionary Meat, which, despite being only Level 20, was still quite valuable.

Ten kilograms of it were enough to exchange for ten thousand points, and that was at standard price. Given the current turmoil in Oasis Town, the market price might increase several times.

Even in the frontlines of the Great Saint City, Level 20 Evolutionary Meat is the hardest currency among Evolvers, typically only accessible to Tier Two Evolvers for transactions.
