Wasteland: My Items Can Be Infinitely Upgraded-Chapter 532 - 261: Shadows of Wolves, Beast Disaster Approaches, Changes and Opportunities
Half of them are equipped on bombers or grenade launchers, used to achieve long-distance strikes beyond visual range. ๐๐ณ๐๐๐๐ฆ๐ฃ๐ฏโด๐ฃ๐ฆ๐.๐ค๐๐
What Lin Feng needed to do was to take them off and upgrade the scopeโs components separately.
Taking the scope off and holding it in his hand, Lin Fengโs peripheral vision then displayed the target attribute information:
"High-magnification Scope Level 19, Red Quality, Branded"
"Basic Attributes: Magnification; Crosshair Lock; Can consume 10 points of life value for a tier jump upgrade"
"Magnification: Can adjust magnification between 8x to 32x, maximum observation distance is 5 kilometers, images are clearer within 2 kilometers"
"Crosshair Lock: Comes with multi-target recognition, moving object tracking lock, and intelligent functions like crosshair lock color change, distance calculation automation, and auto-adjustment"
"Evaluation: One of the important components on the Level 22 Armor-Piercing Cannon. Even as a separate item, it is a very precise observation instrument with Level 19 quality. Can be upgraded separately to a higher grade"
Lin Feng didnโt think much about it and directly consumed 10 points of life value to separately upgrade the scope.
Currently, his stomach still stored a lot of Level 20 Evolutionary Meat, reserved for slow consumption.
For Lin Feng, who had 300 life value points, just 10 points of life was nothing to worry about.
Just by digesting a bit of Level 20 Evolutionary Meat, he could quickly replenish it.
As a stream of energy from within his body merged into the scope he held in his hand, this over half-meter long single tube observation device rapidly transformed in shape.
Because the upgraded equipment was small and Lin Fengโs own level was higher than the scope in his hand, the tier jump upgrade was completed soon:
"High-magnification Telescope Level 20, Orange Quality, Branded"
"Basic Attributes: Magnification; Crosshair Lock; Can consume 10 points of life value for a tier jump upgrade"
"Magnification: Can adjust magnification between 8x and 50x, maximum observation distance is 10 kilometers, images are clearer within 3 kilometers"
"Evaluation: A telescope that can see 10 kilometers away is enough to meet most reconnaissance needs in the wasteland, but the stacking of multiple lenses also results in an excellent focusing effect. Use cautiously, and do not observe high-energy light sources to avoid burn injuries."
After the upgrade, the magnification increased from 32x directly to 50x, and the maximum range doubled, finally allowing visibility up to 10 kilometers away.
After becoming a telescope, the length extended from the previous half meter to nearly one meter.
Although it could be reinstalled back onto the Armor-Piercing Cannon, mounting a more than one-meter-long "scope" always seemed somewhat awkward.
This likely led to retaining the scope at Level 19 Red Quality during the overall upgrade of the Armor-Piercing Cannon, to avoid affecting the weaponโs use.
However, merely as a standalone telescope, it was worth every penny.
Lin Feng immediately raised the extended version of the telescope, aiming it at the faint black shadow 10 kilometers away, to see what these black dots really were.
When the telescope was aimed at the target, the original blurry black dots were magnified by 50 times, appearing as thick as fingers in the display.
And this Level 20 high-magnification telescope also featured image intercept and restoration functions, directly enhancing the blurry images.
The mosaic-like points that formed a puzzle image gradually revealed a rough outline under the telescopeโs automatic restoration.
Finally at this moment, Lin Feng clearly saw what these fleeting black dots 10 kilometers away actually were.
The screenshot appearing in the lens prominently revealed the all-too-familiar silhouettes of the Desert Wolf in Wasteland to Lin Feng.
The color, close to a grey-yellow, made them difficult to see clearly.
But Lin Feng could never forget the silhouette of the Desert Wolf Race, even if he suffered from senility.
Because from the day he opened his eyes and arrived at the Wasteland, he was stalked by a Deserted Old Wolf.
The latter aimed to eat him.
But Lin Feng used every ounce of his strength to successfully counter-attack, which became his first pot of gold in Oasis Town.
Without the Mutated Wolf Fang of that Deserted Old Wolf, Lin Feng might not have made acquaintance with Father Su An, one of the top figures in Oasis Town.
And naturally, there wouldnโt be the subsequent Wolf Pack hunts or the expedition to capture the Rock-Horned Horse in Wild Grand Canyon.
The figures in the image now, racing across 10 kilometers of desert wasteland like flowing sand, each starry speck represented a Desert Wolf.
And based on the environmental ratio in the image and distance magnification effect, the telescope also provided a rough size of these moving targets.
Most of them were over five meters long.
This also meant that the Desert Wolves appearing in the image were at least of the Early Tier One Evolution level.
Based on the dense number Lin Feng saw, there could be thousands, even tens of thousands...
Such a massive number of Desert Wolves, all evolving ones, equals the strength scale of a large settlement.
Itโs known that in all of Oasis Town, without counting the five to six million ordinary Enhanced People around the settlementโs perimeter, just considering the core Oasis Battleship and the Five Major Villages...
The permanent population was about twenty thousand, most of whom were Late-stage Enhanced People, with less than a hundred actual Evolvers in the Fifth Village.
The other four villages, Nongzhuang Village had the most, about seven to eight hundred Tier One Evolvers, while Mechanical Village and Dawn Village together had close to a thousand.
Holy Spring Village, due to the Church background and under Father Su Anโs management, had become a church school, so the number of Evolvers was not many, being an outer defense team with only sixty to seventy Evolvers.
As for Oasis Battleship, besides the two thousand "noble" Oasis Upper Class members in the Upper District, at least Tier One Evolvers, the remaining more than eight thousand slaves were mostly in the middle and late stages of enhancement.
Only fewer than a hundred people inside who were managers had the privilege of being Evolvers.
The remaining Oasis upper echelon and church members had just over two hundred Evolvers in total.
Calculating this way, indeed, excluding the "useless" Upper Class in the Upper District, the number of Evolvers in Oasis Town was just over two thousand, almost equal to the Upper Class population.
Thus, one could understand the resentment and grievances of local families like the Li Family.
The Upper Districtโs existence had consumed a lot of Oasis Townโs development potential.
The cost of maintaining these wastrels was even higher than directly purchasing or capturing Evolver slaves, and there was no need to keep the Upper District.
Without this heavy burden, both the Oasis Church and various families could have further development and growth.
The number of Tier Two Evolvers could at least double.
But because Lord Bishop insisted on implementing the Upper Class policy, coupled with the Upper Classโs protests, it caused the current deadlock.
From Lin Fengโs perspective, the existence of the Upper District might indeed be Bishop Zhang Huiโs means to curb the unchecked expansion of local family powers.
Many talented heirs were once cultivated in the Three Major Villages, but were forcibly moved into the Upper District by the once-powerful Church, granted Upper Class identities.
They missed opportunities for experiential growth, wasting their best decades of youth, ultimately accomplishing nothing and stepping onto the offering altar of the Moonlit Ceremony.
Those who could have been Tier Two Powerhouses lost their path to power due to an Upper Class identity treatment.
Even now...
Although Oasis Town had a decent overall development scale, it was almost at the bottom of the wasteland in terms of evolution power.
Itโs not that its scale of Evolvers had issues, but half of its Evolvers had been raised to be wastrels, with no combat knowledge at all.
Now, the Desert Wolf Race, numbering in the tens of thousands of evolving Desert Wolves, was on the verge of descending en masse...
About to surround the whole Oasis Town!
Realizing this, Lin Feng took a deep breath, gazing at the distant wasteland, his eyes sharp as a hawk.
Such an unprecedented scale was almost equivalent to the entire force of the Desert Wolf Race.
Their leader, Wolf Ao, risked it all by betting the entire tribe on attacking Oasis Town, clearly having understood the changes in the Taishan Ruins.
He knew that the millennium migration of the wasteland was their Desert Wolf Raceโs last chance.
And the audacious attack on the Holy Seeโs Oasis Town to strengthen their clan power marked the advent of chaosโs first historical signal!
Lin Feng was contemplating how to leverage this crisis to maximize his benefits.
The minor scuffles in Oasis Town were set...
But the Town-breaking Beast Calamity stirred by the Desert Wolf Race could yield unexpected results.
Such as large quantities of Desert Wolf Evolutionary Source Material, or the downfall of various factions in Oasis, and the remaining legacies.
And perhaps the destroyed Oasis Battleship, compelled to be abandoned on Oasis Avenue, becoming an unclaimed treasure...
