Wasteland: My Items Can Be Infinitely Upgraded-Chapter 530 - 260: Trade, Warning of Vigilance, Unknown Black Spot
By the mid-to-late stage of Tier Two, the points issued by the Hunting Wilderness Guild are already hard to circulate. After all, advanced materials are scarce, and most transactions are done through barter.
This is because the guild’s warehouse has very few valuable treasures for mid-to-late stage Tier Two Evolvers.
Unless you join the Hunting Wilderness Guild and become a core member like Xu Wanfeng, or participate in the Guild’s Hunting King plan, you won’t be eligible to access advanced evolutionary resources.
Therefore, unless there is an urgent matter requiring a large expenditure of points, Tier Two Evolvers rarely use points for trade.
For example, the promise given by Father Su An right now is a practical division of Oasis forces in exchange for a portion of key technical personnel.
Instead of using the Church’s points in the guild to exchange for the crucial armor-piercing materials in Lin Feng’s possession.
At this moment, in the walkie-talkie, Father Su An couldn’t help but chuckle twice after hearing Lin Feng’s inquiry:
"I’m afraid talking to me won’t help with this matter. Most of the priests in the Oasis team are personal confidants of Lord Bishop. Even the priests sent from Holy City have difficulty commanding them."
"However, at this critical moment, a few people from the Upper District, Lord Bishop won’t pay too much attention to, you just need to mention it when the time comes."
"If that doesn’t work, wait for me to come to Oasis, and I’ll speak to Lord Bishop on your behalf."
Lin Feng nodded. It would certainly be more convenient for Father Su An to intervene than himself, after all, he is with the Church and is also the future heir of Oasis Town.
Moreover, Lord Bishop has been disappearing frequently lately, and Lin Feng is an outsider in the Church District. The only contact he has is Shen Yue, finding Bishop Zhang Hui is far less convenient than reaching out to Su An.
After discussing everything, Father Su An was ready to set off and leave, while Lin Feng needed to reconnect with Chen Shanshan to discuss a brand new allocation plan.
At this moment, he suddenly remembered that if Liu Qian sensed the random agitation of the Fiery Sun energy within her body, then the deeply cursed Su Yueyue, who has it deep in her bones, might be even more severe!
Thinking of this, Lin Feng quickly thought of a way to phrase it and promptly reminded while Father Su An had not yet hung up:
"During the battle, my lab reported a situation where there was an abnormal condition in the mutating cells synthesized from Desert Wolf Tier Two cells for some time, with an accelerated aging process."
"Suspecting whether during that period there were frequent intense Fiery Sun energy waves nearby, causing a mass die-off of these imperfect mutant genes."
"I’m worried that Su Yueyue might be affected..."
After hearing what Lin Feng said, Father Su An’s face changed slightly, his heart grew anxious, but he calmly replied on the surface:
"There shouldn’t be much of a problem. During the surgical modification, to prepare Su Yueyue for the upcoming Desert Wolf Source Material modification, I especially let her lie in a stasis chamber filled with Holy Spring Water."
"The protection of Holy Spring Water can effectively isolate the transmission and interference of internal and external energies, originally intended to alleviate her condition, now it can also counteract."
"The previously agreed-upon transactions and plans will proceed as usual, and I will prioritize ensuring the production of armor-piercing weapons."
"Remember to report the shape and specifications of the six weapons on your side when handing over the materials."
Lin Feng nodded, considering that currently in Holy Spring Village, due to the exhaustion and injuries of the two Tier Two Grand Priests, only one Tier Two Grand Priest remains...
Once Father Su An boards the Oasis Battleship, it will be the weakest period for village defense forces.
Li Family’s failure in the first martial arts tournament was mainly due to the Ruinborn Rock Horse Warriors created through modification surgery, which might incite Li Hao’s desire to explore Holy Spring Village and hatred for the instigator, Father Su An.
With these overlapping factors, Li Hao might even take a chance to retaliate against Father Su An and Holy Spring Village.
For instance, by destroying the modification lab or kidnapping important personnel around Father Su An.
Father Su An has a frail, sickly precious daughter, which is not a secret in the Oasis. Most of the upper levels of Oasis Town know about it once they’ve planted spies in Holy Spring Village.
So kidnapping Father Su An’s daughter and threatening him to lose on purpose during the fight in the ring could be a way to win.
Although it might seem disgraceful, at least it can result in a victory.
At the same time, even if Father Su An remains loyal to the Holy See and disregards his daughter, this situation can still disturb his mental state during combat.
As long as there is no Tier Two powerhouse in Holy Spring Village, Li Hao can fully attack the village while dealing with one of them.
And when Father Su An leaves Holy Spring Village to board the Oasis, it would be the perfect opportunity.
At the moment, there is only one Tier Two Grand Priest in Holy Spring Village capable of fighting, but he has just reached Level 20. Even if he assumes a beastification form as a Desert Wolf Warrior, he cannot withstand the consecutive attacks from the Level 26 Li Hao.
Once Father Su An leaves, it will be the most dangerous time for Holy Spring Village.
Lin Feng quickly voiced his concerns to Father Su An before he could hang up and offered a solution:
"Earlier, you mentioned entrusting Su Yueyue to me for a while, it would be perfect to send her over in advance."
"Even if Li Hao is cunning, he would never expect Yueyue to be among my convoy."
"Moreover, Chen Shanshan under me has already become a Tier Two Evolver. Even if she can’t break through the Rock Horse Armor defense, if Li Hao wants his attack to be flawless, he will surely travel light."
"Wearing the cumbersome Rock Horse Armor would be like announcing himself, so if he dares to take action, he wouldn’t use the Rock Horse Armor."
"In such a state when dealing with Chen Shanshan, even as a Level 26 Rock Horse Warrior, he’d gain nothing. Just the perception shield itself can be quite problematic for him!"
Lin Feng’s proposal was soon highly approved by Father Su An.
As the situation progressively deteriorates, Father Su An will certainly be overwhelmed dealing with the Li Family, the rebel army, and the impending forces of the Holy City Diocese.
Rather than letting Yueyue stay in the stasis chamber, risking discovery, it’s better to entrust her to Lin Feng’s care.
He, as an outsider and a Gunpowder Ability User, possessing bizarrely powerful super firepower, neither the Li Family nor the high-ranking officials of the diocese would easily provoke this wandering church hunter.
Su Yueyue is safer in his entourage than staying by his side.
After finalizing the plans and subsequent arrangements, they hung up the communication.
Lin Feng then brought out the team walkie-talkie to reconnect with Chen Shanshan.
He informed her about the changes in the transaction details and the subsequent tasks.
After issuing all instructions, Lin Feng prepared to leave this sky loft.
He could already feel the effect of the Scorching Sun exposure. Even if the Fiery Sun Energy’s waves were very faint, prolonged exposure to intense ultraviolet light would accelerate the aging of his cells, causing the skin to darken and wrinkle.
Let alone, Lin Feng stayed at this location, sixty to seventy meters above the ground, for almost half an hour, he could feel the mild sting from his back and neck from the sun exposure.
Just as Lin Feng tidied everything up and was about to leave, on both sides of Oasis Avenue, small dots emerged faintly on the yellow wasteland.
In Lin Feng’s view, they appeared ant-sized, grouped in fours and fives, crossing the horizon or the top of mounds and hills.
Then they disappeared into the shadow of a slope, vanishing from sight.
They moved so swiftly, only a fleeting glimpse on the hilltops or slope tops made them hard to detect.
If it weren’t for Lin Feng regularly using his firearms for long-range aiming training, an ordinary evolver would never notice it.
Most would assume it’s just refraction caused by air currents rising due to uneven heating in the distance.
Yet, Lin Feng found it highly suspicious.
Because this upcoming martial contest involved only about a hundred participants on both sides.
Moreover, the arena is situated on the right side of Oasis Avenue.
But the black dots are showing up north and south, left and right.
The most crucial point is, those small moving black dots might seem tinier than ants to Lin Feng, but when they get nearer, they’re comparable in size to transport vehicles.
The distance between both sides is at least more than fifteen kilometers.
Are these supporting convoys from Holy City?
Or is it a contingency by the Li Family or a raiding party of gathered Wanderers?
Numerous thoughts flashed across Lin Feng’s mind, including the Salvation Army under Bai Ye.
But as the black dots appeared more densely, Lin Feng immediately felt a deep sense of foreboding...
Just then, the walkie-talkie on his waist beeped again.
Chen Shanshan called with a hint of excitement:
"The Divine Dog has awakened! With Ding Yi’s help, it successfully underwent its first transformation evolution, becoming a Tier One Evolved Desolate Beast!"
