Wasteland: My Items Can Be Infinitely Upgraded-Chapter 568 - 277: High-Quality Evolutionary Meat, Insider Information
Under the personal reception of Rong Yan, Lin Feng once again arrived at an extremely secretive and upscale private room on the third floor of the Upper District dining hall.
Last time, it was Li Mingquan who arranged the meeting, but this time, things have changed, leaving only Lin Feng and Rong Yan.
In such a situation, there’s no need for excessive politeness or probing anymore.
After a dish of braised Rock-Horned Horse meat at Level 20 was brought to the table, Rong Yan personally served Lin Feng a large plate of marbled braised horse meat and poured a glass of expensive red wine...
He directly spoke:
"This time, I must thank Governor Lin for stepping in to save my son."
"But it seems the Church hasn’t restored Rong Xuan’s Upper Class status?"
Lin Feng picked up a piece of meat, placed it in his mouth, and tasted this rare delicacy, while speaking:
"That’s right, after committing that incident, everyone involved has been permanently stripped of Upper Class status."
"Now, Rong Xuan is already a prisoner of the Holy See, and even if I want to get him out, it would require a significant price to persuade the most powerful person in Oasis, Lord Bishop, to agree."
"So, as I help the Church bear the pressure brought by the enemies, Rong Xuan has become one of my private slaves."
"You should have seen the electronic collar around his neck just now. Inside, it contains gunpowder with a power equivalent to a hand grenade. As long as I press a button, it will instantly explode even from a kilometer away."
"This is a product of the slave trade industry in the Holy City, specifically used to control Evolutionary-tier slaves, and it’s called Death’s Grip!"
"Even a powerful Tier Two Evolver cannot escape from the grasp of Death’s Grip."
"Whether the wearer attempts to flee beyond the remote sensing range, or attempts to dismantle or damage the collar by force, it will immediately trigger the explosion of the entire electronic collar."
"Therefore, once wearing this device, unless someone buys it at a high price, there is absolutely no chance of escape."
Hearing Lin Feng’s chilling explanation, Rong Yan swallowed a mouthful of saliva, nodded, and said:
"Thank you, Governor Lin, for informing me, and thank you for your dedication to Rong Xuan’s matter. I will do my best to offer you a satisfactory gift to compensate for your efforts in this matter."
After speaking, Rong Yan clapped his hands, and saw a simply-dressed woman in a plain qipao walk in from outside, looking very dignified and elegant, with a refined face similar to Rong Yan.
As for the figure beneath the qipao, it was equally delicate, yet lacked the voluptuous allure of Rong Yan, but had a hint of pure grace as she walked gracefully.
Like a young Jiangnan woman who has yet to be betrothed.
In a remote place like Oasis Town, cultivating such a presence probably required significant resources, raising her in affluence since childhood.
Lin Feng slowly turned his head to meet her gaze.
The young and beautiful woman had clear, bright eyes and exuded confidence without any hint of fear.
This was rare, given that Lin Feng was a prominent Tier Two figure, a big shot in Oasis Town...
Yet she remained calm and composed, evidently experienced, not like those ordinary Upper Class citizens living idly.
And this maid-dressed woman held a food box approximately half a meter high, with five layers in total.
The woman set the food box beside Rong Yan, then stepped back behind her without leaving.
At this moment, Rong Yan, while opening the food box, introduced to Lin Feng:
"This is my eldest daughter, Rong Zhiyun, also Rong Xuan’s sister, currently in charge of managing the first and second floors of the dining hall."
"Come, greet Governor Lin."
Rong Zhiyun immediately stepped forward, slightly bowed, and said:
"Greetings, Lord Lin."
Lin Feng nodded thoughtfully, then asked:
"With only Mid-Tier One evolutionary power, can an Upper Class citizen really serve as a manager on the Oasis Battleship?"
Rong Zhiyun immediately replied:
"For affairs in the Upper District, the main requirement is not to be the highest department manager. Specific matters can be handled by Upper Class citizens, which is more suitable."
Lin Feng acknowledged with a sound, seeming to understand that Rong Yan was preparing her daughter to take her place by familiarizing her with the management of the dining hall in advance.
This also indirectly showed that Rong Yan held her daughter in higher regard and gave her more importance compared to Rong Xuan.
The woman, inheriting Rong Yan’s beauty and wisdom, was the future successor to the dining hall.
However, none of this had much to do with Lin Feng, as he only knew the young woman before him was more important than her brother Rong Xuan in Rong Yan’s eyes.
Moreover, she was an Upper Class citizen, seemingly unable to escape the fate of eventually becoming a slave in the short term.
Thus, the one hundred, no, now ninety-nine slots in Lin Feng’s possession would become exceptionally valuable.
After Lin Feng finished speaking, Rong Yan continued:
"Rong Zhiyun is now Level 16, and with the accumulated rewards and performance from her dining hall position, she has a great chance to advance to Late Tier One before turning a hundred."
"By that time, she can successfully escape the sacrificial fate."
As he spoke, there was a hint of pride in his voice.
After all, nurturing a successor to Late Tier One and rescuing future generations from the death curse of sacrifice, the effort behind it all is worthy of a mother’s pride.
The only regret now is the uncertain fate that her son Rong Xuan is about to face.
And whether he lives or dies is entirely in the hands of the man before her.
Thinking of this, Rong Yan promptly opened the food box in her hand and redirected the conversation back to the main topic:
