CHAPTER 281: CHAPTER 157: DEDUCTION, SYNTHESIZING TIER TWO EVOLUTIONARY MEAT, SECRETS

The price naturally needs to be multiplied several times.

The reason Bai Ye was willing to spend so much was, of course, because he valued Lin Feng’s role as a Tier Two Gunpowder Ability User, who could play a key role in the upcoming battle in Oasis Town.

But for Lin Feng, even a hundred kilograms of Level 17 Evolutionary Meat would only suffice for one or two battles, especially once they return to Oasis Town, where a Tier Two Evolver might join his team to protect him in close combat.

So by then, the consumption of Tier One Late-Term Evolutionary Meat would increase even faster.

And Lin Feng wanted Tier Two Evolutionary Meat.

Only by consuming them could he quickly recover his state and injuries at critical moments, achieving life-saving or game-changing effects.

Tier One Late-Stage Evolutionary Meat only fills the stomach and recovers slowly, while Tier Two Evolutionary Meat acts like an Energy Potion, capable of briefly unleashing the potential of a Tier Two Evolver.

"Got any Tier Two Evolutionary Meat?"

"No!"

Knowing Lin Feng would ask this, Bai Ye immediately refused without hesitation and explained:

"Tier Two Evolutionary Meat, even we have only managed to exchange for a few hundred pounds from the big city at a considerable cost in the past year. We don’t usually eat it ourselves, which is exactly why we need to establish our own breeding industry."

"Moreover, the Clan Leader-level Desolate Beasts in the Wilderness aren’t easy to kill, especially those at Middle and Late Stages, with intelligence equivalent to humans. They recognize each other."

"Desolate Beasts also huddle together to keep warm."

Lin Feng recalled the situation in Wild Rift, without heavy firearms, they truly couldn’t take down a Clan Leader-level Rock-Horned Horse.

But if that’s the case, what do so many Tier Two Evolvers eat and drink usually:

"If Tier Two Clan Leader-level Desolate Beasts are so hard to kill, then how do Tier Two Mid-to-Late Stage Evolvers survive? They can’t possibly stay in Hibernation Pods all the time?"

"Has the big city already established a breeding industry for Tier Two Desolate Beasts?"

Bai Ye chuckled:

"After advancing to Mid-Tier Two, the cells in your body transform into Tier Two Cells. As long as you’re not in combat, the daily consumption is actually very low, generally eating one pound of Tier Two Evolutionary Meat every two or three days suffices."

"This is the minimum consumption to maintain Evolution Level; in this state, an evolver’s strength won’t grow, and the number of Tier Two Cells in the body remains constant."

"As for the breeding industry for Tier Two Desolate Beasts? Their intelligence is higher than most humans, how would you convince them to willingly be eaten by humans?"

"Besides, who says you have to kill Tier Two Desolate Beasts to get Tier Two Evolutionary Meat?"

Lin Feng’s expression changed slightly as Bai Ye dismissed all possibilities:

"Then it can’t be... cannibalism, right?"

Unlike mutated Desolate Beasts, humans’ Evolutionary Cells are mostly concentrated in the brain and mutated parts of the body, especially the brain tissue; consuming too much can lead to mutation or schizophrenia.

That’s how the refugees on the wasteland came to be.

And a Tier Two Evolver, before dying, would have already transferred their abundant Source Material to their offspring, thus ensuring the stability of family continuation.

Without the support of Source Material, the Evolution Level would plummet, and the Evolutionary Meat naturally no longer exists.

Just like the Desolate Beast Tribe in the Wilderness, where many kin gather around the Clan Leader-level Desolate Beasts, ensuring both the leader doesn’t lose themselves and the tribe’s strength steadily increases.

These two factors complement each other, perpetuating survival.

"Human meat? You’re overthinking it. It’s no longer the barbaric era, top powers have already conquered Tier Two Evolution, capable of cultivating Tier Two Cells artificially, even catalyzing Tier Two Evolvers."

Bai Ye elaborated, her experience far exceeding Lin Feng’s, especially concerning advanced wasteland evolvers knowledge:

"Like the Cultivators of the Holy Spring Sect, they only need to drink Holy Spring Water of the corresponding level to replenish their body’s Evolutionary Cells, as well as all the necessary Energy."

"This is one of the reasons the Church can support so many Cultivators to become a wasteland’s top power."

"They are backed by the great Master of the Holy Spring."

"As for hunters from the Guild and Evolvers from some top powers, including us, we routinely buy necessary advanced materials from the big city."

"Such as synthesized Tier Two Evolutionary Meat, which not only poses no risk of genetic pollution but also is rich in certain Tier Two Source Material, nutritious, and can be preserved for a long time."

"Synthetic Evolutionary Meat?"

Lin Feng was confused; the last time he heard about this was during the Old Earth Era, when a group of vegetarians came up with an intellectual fraud product.

Bai Ye nodded:

"Yes, synthesized, and there’s one in the Holy City in front of Oasis Town. An organization called the Life Farm, which was formerly a biotechnology company, holds the mastery of cultivating Tier Two Evolutionary Cells from Rock-Horned Horses and other Desolate Beasts."

"The Tier Two Source Material of the Li Family is bought from them."

"And to master these technologies, a large number of live experiments must be conducted, so living Tier Two Clan Leader-level Desolate Beasts are far more valuable than dead ones."

"But capturing them is too difficult, without the cooperation of multiple Tier Two Late Stage Evolvers, it’s hard to capture them alive."

"In future, once my breeding farm is up and running, I’ll invite you to hunt and capture a Clan Leader-level Rock-Horned Horse alive; as long as we establish a factory for synthesizing Tier Two Evolutionary Meat, I’ll cover all your Evolutionary Meat needs!"

Lin Feng’s lips twitched. Bai Ye was already promising the moon about something that didn’t even exist—not surprising from the leader of the Salvation Army.

But this also reminded Lin Feng: if they could conquer and grasp artificial cultivation of Tier Two Evolutionary Cells, could Tier Three also be mass-produced?

During the Old Earth Era, because Tier Three Evolvers banded together for warmth, research institutions couldn’t conduct experiments and analysis on them, and even if they did, it was a private team under an evolverbedsdown, their results difficult to benefit the public...

Now, after thousands of years of turmoil, with the rise of All Gods reign supreme and oppressive over the world, research on Tier Three evolution must proceed.

Lin Feng asked about this after, Bai Ye nodded, looking north at the Wilderness:

"I heard that a super-top power ruling in the North has seemingly initially researched artificial Tier Three Cells, but Tier Three Kings don’t need to eat same-tier Evolutionary Meat. The gene radiation they emit can directly alter the surrounding environment and then draw in higher biological material from the environment."

"Just like in the Relic Forbidden Area."

"This is also why Tier Three Kings cultivate their own top powers, all stemming from survival needs..."

"Currently, Tier Three Cell Agents are still in the experimental phase, and some Tier Two Late-Stage Evolvers are trying to implant them, to see if they can cross the chasm from Tier Two to Tier Three."

"But it’s very difficult, as Tier Three requires the transformation of Superpower and the integration of spirit and body. Tier Three Cells are just the foundation and ultimately the result, there’s no shortcut."

Lin Feng nodded, semi-understanding.

He then followed Bai Ye to collect his rewards.

An hour later, Lin Feng carried a sack of dried meat and a small box containing five Pure Evolution Agents back to the nearby camp.

There were only fifty kilograms of Seventeenth-Level Evolutionary Dried Meat, while the remaining half along with the five Evolution Agents would only be handed over to Lin Feng after the Salvation Army attacked Nongzhuang Village of Oasis Town."

Bai Ye had already made the biggest concessions, so Lin Feng also decided to soon complete the task to reduce stay time.

After all, this little dried Evolutionary Meat wouldn’t stop his tunnel cleaning and collection plan.

Once Lin Feng left, Bai Ye immediately ordered the Salvation Army to speed up the packing process.

Lin Feng and his team had already completed their mission; the sunlight reflection frames built at the entrance of the shelter could be taken down and stored.

After verifying the machine tools, Ma Li arrived and led her mechanical repair crew to begin disassembling.

She looked at Lin Feng’s departing figure and spoke slowly:

"That guy probably won’t give up easily, he definitely wants to continue his actions."

Bai Ye shrugged:

"Let him be, I’ve said enough. Even if a bird dies for food, that’s his destiny."

Ma Li nodded, but then thought of something else:

"He must have some backing. From your introduction and his recent performance, there’s no sign of any issues."

"This guy is definitely not simple. The power of his firearms also surpasses that of ordinary Gunpowder Ability Users; maybe there is some secret behind him."

Bai Ye’s lips curved slightly:

"Who doesn’t have a few tricks up their sleeves in the wasteland? Even us, our predecessor had the inheritance of the Royal City, enabling us to reach this point."

"Let’s go, once this operation is successfully resolved, I’ll start taking the final step..."

Ma Li was pleasantly surprised:

"Really? Didn’t you say it would take at least a few more years?"

A layer of blue light floated in Bai Ye’s clear eyes, her internal energy vast and powerful, like a white tiger lurking in its breath, a faint spatial ripple around her body:

"After fighting the Tier Three Distortion King, I had some unexpected insights and gains, it shouldn’t take long now."

"Once I become a Tier Three King, Lin Feng will be stripped of all secrets before us."
