CHAPTER 155: CHAPTER 116: READY TO GO, LEVEL 17 ARMOR-PIERCING CANNON AND RAPID FIRE CANNON

These two items alone cost twenty-four thousand points.

But Lin Feng sternly stuffed the one-thousand-point card into her hands.

Because the two task reward equipment pieces are considered the team’s common assets, just like the unlimited bullet AK and Level 14 Titanium Armor after everyone’s upgrade. They belong to the team as a whole, not personal equipment.

This also means the only thing truly belonging to an individual is this one thousand points.

Although it seems small, in other Desert Hunting Teams such a privilege doesn’t exist; everything is the personal property of the leader or captain.

Lin Feng carefully delineated this because of the serious blow his team suffered from the internal strife and disbandment of Chen Shanshan’s Deserted Village Squad.

Even if someone wants to leave in the future, they can’t reasonably take the team’s public assets with them.

This is the balance Lin Feng chose between a dictatorship style and a fair model.

So these one thousand points weren’t an extra bonus from Lin Feng’s generosity to Shanshan, but rather a clear division and reclaim of ownership of the two reward equipment pieces.

However, Chen Shanshan didn’t understand the deeper meaning, and, out of personal guilt and obligation, tried to refuse.

When Lin Feng insisted on giving them to her, she felt too embarrassed to spend it with the other women, so she secretly gave the points card to Ding Yi to buy some supplies needed by the team.

Such as medicines, first aid kits, or bullets required for firearms.

As the four women walked away, Lin Feng went to the back of the transport vehicle, checking the two hundred kilograms of late-stage Evolutionary Meat remaining after the Life Source Material had been extracted.

Eighteen-level evolutionary meat allows for ten points of Life Value recovery per kilogram consumed, yielding one hundred kilograms of dried meat once dried, compressed from the original mass of meat paste into block form.

Each block is one kilogram, exactly one hundred blocks.

Each block can restore twenty points of Life Value.

Since its level is one above Lin Feng’s Evolution Level, one block meets his daily consumption needs for two days.

Lin Feng estimates a block of such Level 18 Evolutionary Dried Meat could sell for more than a thousand points.

After all, mid-tier meat dried to Level 14 has risen from the original 150 points to almost 250 points.

Extrapolating, Level 15 meat would be 300 points, Level 16 meat 400 points, and Level 17 late-stage Evolutionary Meat would be at least 700-800 points.

So it’s unsurprising that Level 18 Evolutionary Meat sells for over a thousand points.

Moreover, in Oasis Town, late-stage Evolutionary Meat is constantly in demand but unavailable, with only a handful of Tier Two Evolvers eligible to consume.

Lin Feng cautiously stored the one hundred dried meat blocks into a nearby low-temperature cooler.

Aside from the various level evolutionary meats used as daily rations, there were also seven remaining Evolution Agents.

During their last hunt, besides a living Early Tier One male, the team killed seven Rock-Horned Horses, including two Mid-stage male leaders at Evolution Levels 14 and 15; Lin Feng and Chen Shanshan each absorbed their Life Source Material.

The remaining five mares included three at Level 10, one at Level 11, and another at Level 12.

Enough to refine eight portions of Level 10 Evolution Agents.

After the final use by evolver Ding Yi, seven Level 10 Evolution Agents remained.

According to the market price, each can sell for at least a thousand points.

Lin Feng originally considered selling them.

Because if the team doesn’t bring in new members, they won’t be of much use, and keeping them for too long could significantly reduce their effect.

Later, however, with the prices of Enhanced Meat and Evolutionary Meat skyrocketing, Lin Feng ignored the seven Evolution Agents in the cooler.

Discovering them again now, the idea of selling them had been discarded.

Understanding the significance of Purity Evolution, Lin Feng is clear about the value of these Pure Life Source Materials, unmatched by the Rock-Horned Horse Life Source Material provided by Nongzhuang Village.

Lin Feng estimates selling to the right person could fetch a sky-high price not lower than five thousand points!

Genuine evolution after all.

Other evolving surgeries, including those from Holy Spring Village, are mere symbiotic evolutions borrowed from others.

On a harsher note, no different from domesticated Rock-Horned Horses or Oasis Upper Class, another form of parasitism.

If using Pure Life Source Material to achieve Tier Jump Evolution, the evolver becomes truly independent.

Known as Purity Evolution.

Even if it seems like only the Hunting Wilderness Guild in Oasis Town is interested in Pure Life Source Material, Lin Feng believes that upon reaching Holy City in the future...

This batch of source material will bring considerable rewards.

Even potentially lead to wealth.

The premise, of course, is avoiding Church oversight.

Thus, gaining the Church’s recognition and friendship is crucial for future development towards Holy City.

This is why Lin Feng refused Xu Wanshuang’s offer.

The Guild’s promises lack guaranteed effectiveness.

Supporting Holy Spring Sect can provide Lin Feng’s team more resources and connections.

Lin Feng slowly closed the cooler and took a deep breath.

At that moment, a prompt appeared in the corner of his eye:

"Level 16 Machine Cannon upgrade complete!"

"Level 16 Rapid Fire Gun upgrade complete!"

Lin Feng then drew from his waist a weapon comparable to a small rocket launcher.

"Armor-Piercing Cannon Level 17, Red Quality, Brand"

"Basic Attributes: Damage 140, Effective Range 2000 meters, Damage Coverage 10 meters, Remaining Tungsten Core Armor-Piercing Cannon 300; upgraded to Host Level Limit"

"Extra Attributes: Bullet Recovery 1/1h; Space Magazine 300 units; Area Damage (Coverage Radius 10m, Center 2m Damage 150); Fire Coverage (six rounds per second for five seconds); Armor-Piercing Shell (Armor-Piercing Ability boosted by 100%, Damage +10)"

"Note: Can freely switch back to Level 9 Precision Pistol"

With this upgrade, damage not only increased by fifteen points, but twenty Tungsten Core Armor-Piercing Shells were integrated, successfully applying the original Armor-Piercing Shell attributes across all reserves.

And gained an additional ten points Damage Bonus.

In total, it can deal one hundred fifty points of damage...

This means with current evolutionary improvements, even if the Tier One Evolution Upper Limit is a Level 19 lifeform, it has, at most, one hundred fifty Life Value points.

Holding the Level 17 Armor-Piercing Cannon, a single Armor-Piercing Shell could lethally one-shot any late-stage evolver.

With three hundred Tungsten Core Armor-Piercing Shells, Lin Feng even has the confidence to take down thirty armored tanks or thirty leader-level Rock-Horned Horses.

Though requiring teammates’ cover, since firing speed is a weakness, and greater power means stronger recoil, targets wouldn’t stand idly by waiting for a headshot.

Having examined the new heavy weapon Armor-Piercing Cannon, Lin Feng took his back-slung Large-Caliber Rifle for detailed observation.

Although its AK structure persists, inside it has been upgraded and optimized like a revolver cannon,

into a small machine cannon over thirty millimeters in caliber:

"Rapid Fire Cannon Level 17, Red Quality, Brand"

"Basic Attributes: Damage 100, Effective Range 2000 meters, Damage Coverage 5 meters, Remaining Explosive Shells 3000; upgraded to Host Level Limit"

"Extra Attributes: Bullet Recovery 1/1s; Space Magazine 3000 units; Area Damage (Coverage Radius 5m, Center 1m Damage 100)"

"New Extra Attribute: Rapid Pursuit"

"Rapid Pursuit: Manually switch to Automatic Mode, increasing Explosive Cannon firing rate to ten rounds per second, six hundred rounds per minute"

"Note: Can freely switch back to Level 9 High-quality AK"

"Evaluation: With extremely fast bullet recovery speed, a super-large capacity Space Magazine, and gaining ultra-high firing speed Automatic Mode, although its base damage is akin to an ordinary Level 14 Machine Cannon Gun, it has extremely strong firepower output; ten shells in one second, delivering 1000 damage, proving difficult even for Heavy Armor, and decisively killing leader-level Rock-Horned Horses; exercise caution using Rapid Pursuit during horizontal fire to avoid friendly fire."

According to previous upgrade plans, Lin Feng’s requirement for this auxiliary weapon was ultimate shell firing rate and capacity.

Thus continuously enhancing two Bullet Recovery and three Space Magazine, the last two on firing speed.

From an initial Fire Coverage of six rounds per second to Rapid Pursuit’s ten rounds per second now, without time limitations, making it a genuine Rapid Fire Cannon.

Only the Explosive Shell damage is just one hundred points.

But with absolute firing speed, as long as damage hits the minimum threshold, whether against hundreds or thousands of Mutated Desolate Beasts, Lin Feng can use the Rapid Fire Cannon to wipe them out within minutes.

Three thousand reserve shells, enough for five-minute sweep fire.

Subsequent one-per-second Bullet Recovery also ensures sustained firepower output.

Overall, the main and auxiliary weapons complement and offset each other, allowing Lin Feng to tackle crises in various situations.

Upon completing the massive personal equipment upgrade, Lin Feng prepared to return to the battle vehicle.

At that moment, Chen Shanshan approached,

looking at Lin Feng putting away his guns and cannons,

hesitant and serious, she spoke:

"Ding Yi came forward to ask, whether Su Yueyue had been implanted with Desert Wolf genes?"
