Wasteland: My Items Can Be Infinitely Upgraded-Chapter 367 - 189: Probe and Deal, 400,000 Points, Interrogation
"Twenty thousand left, does Leader Lin need to exchange for more Enhanced Meat or Evolutionary Meat?"
Life Source Material is not rare for a large-scale breeding force like theirs. After all, with so many generations of Leader Level live horses over the centuries, producing countless offspring, the reserve of Evolution Agents has long piled up like a mountain.
The reason, fundamentally, is that the demand for Evolutionary Meat is greater than that for Life Source Material.
After all, a hundred kilograms of Evolutionary Meat is barely enough for an Evolver to consume for less than a year, and in order to nurture him further, at least a dozen Rock-Horned Horses need to be bred.
This results in an accumulation of surplus Evolution Agents, increasing over time.
For a leader like Lin Feng, who has just established their power, the demand for Evolution Agents among his subordinates is high, but the need for Evolutionary Meat is even higher.
This is precisely why Li Mingquan readily agreed.
If you take away so many Evolution Agents, you must also buy the minimum quota of Evolutionary Meat. Otherwise, the team members will have no combat power due to hunger, and might even fall apart.
And to buy Evolutionary Meat, one is subject to the Li Family of Nongzhuang Village and forced to agree to certain additional conditions.
This is the gap in foundation between the two sides.
The demands made by Lin Feng are something that the Li Family can easily agree to, but the requests made by the Li Family cause Lin Feng to feel restricted.
And to solve the recent Evolution Agent shortfall, as Li Mingquan anticipated, Lin Feng still needs a lot of Evolutionary Meat to sustain such a convoy.
"I need one ton of Level 9 Enhanced Meat and five hundred kilograms of Early Tier One Evolutionary Meat."
Lin Feng spoke slowly and continued:
"Of course, if your village still has surplus Mid-Tier One or Late Tier One Evolutionary Meat, I would be more than happy to accept it."
The Guild sent over five hundred kilograms of Enhanced Meat; the convoy now has fifty-two members, and half of them have already become or are about to become Evolvers, most of them being Early Tier One Evolvers, and the demand for Level 9 Enhanced Meat is only increasing.
As for the Late Tier One and Tier Two higher-ups, there won’t be much change in the short term, at most one addition like Cheng Wentian, so the demand hasn’t changed much, and the current reserves can fully meet it.
Li Mingquan was stunned and evidently hadn’t expected Lin Feng’s needs to be for low-level dried meat.
However, it did not prevent him from using it as leverage.
He pretended to ponder for a while, then replied:
"Leader Lin, you are aware of the current situation in Oasis Town. The Church here has been oppressing our great clans too much, and in recent years, the profits from our Rock-Horned Horse Industry have been decreasing steadily, with many industrial products being forcibly acquired by the Church at low prices, naturally decreasing the production of Evolutionary Meat..."
"In recent years, it has become increasingly difficult to survive. Some elderly Evolvers have even died from weakness due to not having enough Evolutionary Meat."
"So this change is the will of the people in the Oasis; everyone hopes to break free from the high pressure of the Church, especially the continuous exploitation and bloodsucking by the Oasis Upper District..."
"I know that Leader Lin has no intention of staying in the Oasis, nor are you interested in the power struggles within."
"So I would like to ask Mr. Lin to remain an observer, not get involved, and just be a spectator under the Oasis."
The inevitable has arrived!
Lin Feng squinted his eyes, staring at the man in front of him.
Seeing that Lin Feng did not verbally refuse, Li Mingquan decided to strike while the iron was hot and raised the stakes:
"As long as Mr. Lin agrees, not only Early Tier One Evolutionary Meat, but also Mid-Tier and Late Tier One Evolutionary Meats can be offered together in direct transaction."
"If Mr. Lin is still willing to assist, we can deliver in advance, free of charge, not less than five hundred kilograms each of Mid-Tier and Late-Tier Evolutionary Dried Meat!"
Goodness!
Even the Church only has a reserve of five hundred kilograms of Late-Term Evolutionary Meat, which dehydrates to two hundred fifty kilograms of dried meat, of which Lin Feng got one hundred kilograms.
Now Nongzhuang Village’s Li Family is offering five hundred kilograms each straight away, truly generous!
However, Lin Feng has no intention of paying for a ticket on a ship doomed to sink; winning is fine, but losing would certainly draw the Church’s suspicion and breed animosity.
At that time, you’d end up losing the big for the small, not worth the candle!
Most importantly, even if the Li Family does win, leading the Oasis Battleship northward...
A thousand kilometers of long-distance fleeing, whether they can escape unscathed from the giant Saint Spring Sect remains debatable!
The risk is too high, unless the Li Family can produce a large amount of Tier Two Evolution Agents, allowing Lin Feng to smoothly advance to Mid-Tier Two or even Late-Tier Two, only then might he switch sides,
and then consider joining the Salvation Army, recuperating under Bai Ye’s command, waiting for the right timing.
Thinking of this, Lin Feng looked at the expectant face of Li Mingquan and spoke in a deep voice:
"I want to know, Village Chief Li, or the Li Family, what makes you think you can defeat the Church?"
"Even if you finally seize control of the Oasis, you’ll still face the Church’s pursuit and blockade; after all, this is the heart of the Holy Spring Sect’s territory..."
"If even one Church Cultivator escapes and reports the Oasis’s changes, all the Great Saint Cities and subordinate towns will come forth, and there might even be a Tier Three Bishop!"
Hearing Lin Feng’s concerns and questioning, Li Mingquan did not show any distress. Instead, he slightly lifted the corner of his mouth and spoke intriguingly:
"Leader Lin’s rise was sudden, you might not yet know the current situation within the Church, how are you so sure that they are unified and working together?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Lin Feng’s pupils contracted sharply,
connecting this to the various behaviors of the Oasis Church...
A bad premonition instantly arose!
