Wasteland: My Items Can Be Infinitely Upgraded-Chapter 233 - 142: Invitation, Escape Plan, Second Awakening Trial
Looking at the thermos flask on the table in front of him, within his reach, he wanted to know why Bai Ye had changed:
"Old Duncan and Lisa once hoped that I would join the Salvation Army with them and become one of you, but I had clearly refused at that time."
"I want to know why Leader Bai is bringing it up again now. The Tier Three Mutant King is completely dead and, for the time being, there’s nothing to threaten your actions anymore."
"Our transactions and cooperation are about to enter their final stage from now on..."
"Is it because of this Clan Leader Level Rock-Horned Horse Source Material, or is it me who is about to advance to Tier Two?"
Bai Ye shook her head after listening:
"Your strength is only part of it. More importantly, it’s your urgent desire to evolve. When the Salvation Army becomes a first-class power in the future, I need a strong member to be my right-hand man."
"For example, managing the Yan Jiao Horse Industry while also providing powerful fire support."
"Armaments, stable food supply, and organized members are the three essential elements of a large force."
"The equipment in the armory can only steadily supply some light weapons and bullets at most, while heavy firepower like giant cannons is strictly controlled by top forces. The Salvation Army very much needs you to fill this gap."
"Moreover, I also believe, with the full support of the Salvation Army in the future, you will definitely become the first Tier Three King to evolve into the Rock-Horned Horse pathway, and at that time, you will also lead all the migrating horse herds in the Wasteland."
"Not only will you manage and develop the Salvation Army well, but you’ll also make it possible for it to become a top force."
"Think of it as me savoring the benefits and planning to invest in you in advance again."
"As long as you agree, once you advance to Tier Two, the Salvation Army can provide the Tier Two Evolutionary Meat you need, ensuring your strength grows steadily without affecting your combat status."
"The value of Tier Two Evolutionary Meat doesn’t need to be elaborated by me. They cost hundreds of thousands, even millions of points, and have no price on the market—they are obtained by exchanging for pure Source Material."
"Even if you wanted to earn by your own hands, the Guild doesn’t have that many tasks and rewards, and the barren wasteland can’t provide such rich resources."
"Therefore, advancing to Tier Two rashly without a certain background and foundation is not a good policy. Instead, it might trap you in the maintenance of your Evolution Level, gradually becoming a slave to evolution..."
"But by joining us, you can not only gain combat power equal to a Tier Three King in a short time but also not worry about the need for Evolutionary Meat!"
As the conditions were continually sweetened, Bai Ye saw the man in front of her still showed no reaction, with no sign of movement, which made her internally anxious...
So she decided to show her utmost sincerity:
"If you’re still hesitant, consider it as the continuation of the transaction between you and me. I’ll continue to provide the Evolution Agent and Evolutionary Meat you need, while you provide fire support protection for the Salvation Army."
"Including all the members of your squad, at that time, they can act with us."
"What do you think?"
This was already the best condition Bai Ye could give, and it was also the bottom line.
Now, as long as Lin Feng is convinced to leave, other matters can be discussed later.
Even if it means using a honey trap, he must stay within the team.
A gifted Gunpowder Ability User, after evolving to the Second Stage, in some sense, is no different from a medium-sized armory.
Moreover, one that can refresh automatically!
It’s like having an infinite artillery and ammunition depot.
This is crucial for the future Salvation Army in facing various challenges in becoming a first-class force.
Only by being strong enough can other top forces and King’s City acknowledge you, establishing a new King’s City and a new order in the wasteland!
For this day, Bai Ye has been planning for hundreds of years, and now hope is right before her; she cannot give up.
However, the man’s words once again exceeded her expectations. The other party did not care about how generous the resources and rewards provided by Bai Ye were. Instead, he asked about something else:
"I want to know, in becoming a Tier Three King, establishing a first-class force, going through so much effort, is your Salvation Army really trying to save the world?"
"Is it for satisfying personal desires, or do you truly wish to save this desolate Wasteland World?"
"Please answer after thinking carefully."
This was the answer Father Su An had given earlier.
Warning Lin Feng to be cautious of the Wandering Force.
And after Lin Feng finished speaking, Bai Ye’s bright blue eyes were fixed on the man in front who had asked three consecutive questions.
She didn’t know how to answer, nor how to answer to align with Lin Feng’s inner answer.
But she knew Lin Feng wasn’t selfish.
This could be seen from his teammates.
So Bai Ye decided to follow her heart:
"This world is rotten, whether it’s the harsh environment of Three Days in the Sky or the ugly faces of humans still stuck in struggles for power and profit in such an environment..."
"My purpose in establishing a first-class force is merely to rescue people like us, those who still hold hope for the world."
"This world isn’t worth saving, nor can it be saved, so I am indeed acting for personal desires..."
Saying so, Bai Ye pointed to the sky:
"Do you remember I told you about the era war between the geocentric theory and heliocentric theory?"
"I am a supporter of the heliocentric theory because I want to escape here, board a spaceship, and leave this gradually sinking hell with the members of the Salvation Army..."
