Wasteland: My Items Can Be Infinitely Upgraded-Chapter 314 - 170: Weapon Control, Mutual Probing, Guild President
After the Oasis separated from the Holy City that year, the Church conscripted some families from the city, promising numerous benefits to ensure the logistics operation of the Oasis Battleship thereafter.
But who could have expected that the environment where Oasis Town was located would be so harsh and desolate; it was a veritable wasteland.
The Church only wanted to maintain the acquisition of intelligence from the Restricted Area, while continuously exploiting the newly arrived commoners and Deserters, which has sown the seeds of conflict since then.
Eventually, the local major families, once their wings were fully grown, would resist, seeking more living space, growing increasingly dissatisfied with the Church, cultivating discord.
This would lead to opposition and even confrontation!
The Guild was only aware that the Salvation Army would target the military factory at the Taishan Ruins, unaware that Bai Ye’s original target was actually the Li Family’s Rock-Horned Horse industry.
The cost and time taken to nurture the animal husbandry were no match for the ease of simply taking it.
But these matters had little to do with the Guild, and perhaps even aligned with the Guild’s interests more.
After all, a now dilapidated and depleted Oasis Settlement would more than ever need the Guild’s assistance in providing materials and equipment for reconstruction.
Apart from profiting from this rebellion, what the Guild cared about most was the acquisition of pure Source Material.
So when Lin Feng mentioned the Salvation Army and Bai Ye, Xu Wanshuang immediately wanted to know the details of their cooperation.
But as she spoke, she suddenly realized her indiscretion, revealing her and the Guild’s intentions.
The man before her, with a faint smile, gazed at the excited and trembling Xu Wanshuang, whose face was flushed with blood.
Lin Feng knew that the Guild was not surprised by his meeting with the Salvation Army, meaning that there had already been transactions and cooperation between them.
And what the Hunting Wilderness Guild was seeking was none other than pure Life Source Material.
So after Xu Wanshuang lowered her head and calmed down, Lin Feng slowly spoke:
"I wonder what kind of reward Chairman Xu hopes for?"
Xu Wanshuang took a deep breath, calmed herself, and resumed the smile on her face:
"Mr. Lin, as a Gunpowder Ability User, is surely favored by the Salvation Army’s Leader Bai, and they want to recruit you with generous terms."
"But if it’s just cooperation, it’s surely related to the Salvation Army’s purpose this time, penetrating deep into the Taishan Ruins to search for the legendary military factory."
"That’s why Mr. Lin was attacked by the Corruptor, which allowed the previous exploration team to die in peace."
Lin Feng smiled:
"It seems the Guild’s cooperation with the Salvation Army is not trivial."
Xu Wanshuang raised her eyebrows; this kind of talk should not be discussed openly, especially under the rule of the Holy Spring Sect, where the Wandering Force had committed countless crimes and was globally wanted.
That’s why the transactions between the two sides were so secretive and cautious; though everyone tacitly understood behind the scenes, no one would admit it publicly.
Shaking her head slightly, Xu Wanshuang replied:
"The Guild is just a trading platform, handling all commission tasks, finding suitable contractors for the clients, or helping connect needs."
"We will recycle valuable items, and anyone in need can consult us."
"We are fair and impartial, only trading."
"Dealing with matters and materials, not with people."
Lin Feng nodded; indeed, those in high positions are different, saying something that seems to say nothing yet everything.
With that, Lin Feng did not further probe, and directly went to the point:
"No need to rush; the Salvation Army is just a Wandering Force. What good things could they have?"
"What Chairman Xu needs may not necessarily be the reward that can help me; I came this time also to cash it out, just wondering what price Chairman Xu can offer."
Xu Wanshuang squinted her eyes; she didn’t expect Lin Feng to react so quickly, also speaking in riddles.
She did not directly ask back but turned to another matter:
"I wonder if Mr. Lin ultimately helped the Salvation Army complete the commission?"
Lin Feng nodded and frankly admitted:
"Fortunately, I did not fail. With the cooperation of Leader Bai, I killed a Tier Three Mutant King."
"Ultimately assisted the Salvation Army to leave fully loaded."
Listening to this, Xu Wanshuang was both surprised and delighted, disregarding her loss of composure, and asked eagerly:
"Is there Tier Two material?"
Lin Feng neither admitted nor denied, only smiling calmly.
Xu Wanshuang assumed she understood, her expression shifted from surprise to a weighty seriousness, and she slowly spoke:
"The matter is significant, and I can’t make a decision on my own."
"Especially since the items Mr. Lin wants to exchange are not things I can sign into effect; according to regulations, the Guild President must have a face-to-face negotiation with Mr. Lin."
"Please, Mr. Lin, be patient and rest for a moment."
After speaking, Xu Wanshuang stood to arrange for Lin Feng to sit on a nearby sofa, then went outside to task another Late Tier One steward, Qin Lang, in the guild to quickly head to the Oasis and notify the President of the urgent matter to discuss.
Lastly, she had a service girl from the VIP room downstairs bring over refreshments and tea, personally entertaining Lin Feng in the office.
At this moment, Lin Feng was seated on the sofa, with a tall, graceful shadow only a few centimeters away, able to smell a faint fragrance.
Xu Wanshuang, with her legs straight and together, bent down to pour tea for Lin Feng, her perfect curves exposed without reservation.
It seemed that Vice President Xu had other trade ideas for this young Tier Two Evolver besides dealing in physical items.
However, Lin Feng had no such need for now, even though Xu Wanshuang was impeccable in every aspect, whether in figure, appearance, or strength and status.
Compared to her, the Deserters or residents outside seemed like savages.
