Wasteland: My items are infinitely upgraded.

Chapter 10 Trading, Slave Market, Lin Feng lv4
Lin Feng yawned and woke up slowly.

This was the most comfortable sleep he had had since waking up in the wasteland.

I glanced at the old-fashioned clock hanging on the front of the car. It was only twelve o'clock in the afternoon. I had only slept for four or five hours, but it had swept away the mental fatigue that had accumulated before.

Even the injury on his right leg is almost completely healed.

Sleep is the best way to recover, although this is also related to his increased strength.

The higher the enhancement level, the stronger the self-healing ability.

Ding Yi, who was lying on the middle bunk, also woke up.

The two got off the bus with the captain and saw Boss Huang, with a slicked-back hair and wearing sunglasses, cooking on an induction cooker powered by the car's battery, under the bus's photovoltaic panels.

The fried wolf meat sizzles.

The aroma of meat is everywhere.

A folding table and four benches have been set up to the side, giving you the feeling of camping next door in the wilderness.

As the fried wolf meat came out of the pan, it was divided into four plates and served on the table.

The sumptuous lunch officially began.

“Taste the master craftsmanship!”

"For this meal of wolf meat, I added the most precious cumin seasoning!"

Boss Huang put his hands together, expressed his gratitude symbolically, and then couldn't wait to pick up his knife and fork and start tasting.

The other three people who were seated also tried it.

The barbecue flavor is paired with the medium-rare wolf meat, and the seasoning can well cover up the fishy smell. The texture and taste are both unique.

There was a pound of meat on each person's plate, which was naturally provided extra by Chen Shanshan. Boss Huang's share was considered the processing fee.

For this meal, the bus owner also specially provided each person with a glass of wasteland-flavored sea buckthorn wine.

"This is a specialty of the farm. It's made from high-quality sea buckthorn berries, mixed with grass root juice, and naturally fermented."

"One liter of sea buckthorn wine costs half a pound of dried meat. It's rare to find steppe wolf meat, so this is a bargain for you!"

Boss Huang raised his glass and continued to celebrate:

"Come on, toast to this fucking world!"

Everyone then clinked their glasses.

Lin Feng tasted the slightly sweet and sour orange wine, which had a low alcohol content and a strong fruity aroma.

"Sea buckthorn fruit contains 25 times more vitamin C than lemon. It's known as the king of vitamin C and is a hot commodity in the wasteland."

Ding Yi began to introduce the ingredients of the juice.

Lin Feng thought of the barbarians he saw at the beginning. Due to long-term malnutrition, their teeth were black and their gums were bleeding. Perhaps this was related to it.

After drinking a cup of sea buckthorn wine, I feel full and satisfied.

A warm current spread from the stomach to the whole body.

Lin Feng glanced at the attribute panel out of the corner of his eye. His health and physical fitness were approaching the upper limit of 20. He estimated that it would not be long before the next enhancement.

Chen Shanshan wiped her mouth, put down her mask, slowly stood up and prepared to leave.

In order to avoid attracting attention, the three of them discussed and decided that Ding Yi would stay behind to guard the house and look after the 40 kilograms of wolf meat in the compartment, while the other two would take the remaining wolf meat and internal organs and bones for trading and go to the central market of the fifth village.

The wolf meat shrank by half after being dried, and the original 60 kilograms was reduced to more than 60 kilograms. Chen Shanshan took away 20 kilograms of it, 20 kilograms of internal organs, and a batch of wolf bones.

Shortly after leaving the bus, Lin Feng asked why Ding Yi was asked to guard the important wolf meat supplies, fearing that something might happen.

Chen Shanshan shrugged:

"The monk may escape, but the temple cannot. Besides, a motel is worth much more than a few pounds of wolf meat. Old Huang is a registered resident of the Fifth Village, with an official status. Plus, with his enhanced strength, no one dares to attack him."

"Official villagers can draw their guns, unlike us outsiders."

Lin Feng nodded silently. After a meal, he also realized that the living standards of the residents in the convoy were much better than those of the barbarians in the rear.

No wonder so many people from the wilderness are trying their best to get in.

After seeing the life of the caravan, who would want to continue wandering in the barren and dangerous wilderness?

According to what he saw and heard in the Fifth Village, Oasis Town was not actually short of resources, at least not water.

With water and solar energy, you basically have everything.

They were so extravagant that they could use grain to make wine and set up bathhouses. The supplies were abundant enough to support tens of thousands of people.

But they didn’t do that…

Lin Feng raised his head and looked at a giant steel beast that was dozens of meters tall and stood quietly on the wasteland, with lush green branches and leaves on its top. It was about a kilometer away.

That is the Mobile Oasis, the core of Oasis Town.

The place where the upper class people live, the true paradise of the wasteland, the supreme existence that is closely followed by thousands of cars and looked up to by tens of thousands of wasteland people.

They are the makers of the wasteland order.

Lin Feng licked his lips, wondering when he would be qualified to board this steel behemoth.

But for now, I should first find a way to settle down in the convoy following behind me and avoid the hardship of traveling.

Following Chen Shanshan all the way into the central area of ​​the Fifth Village, there were many small carts that looked like shops, selling all kinds of things.

From food and water to daily household items, it felt like a traditional market, almost like a wholesale market. Because the two of them were carrying hundreds of pounds of dried meat and bones, it was difficult to carry them all, so Chen Shanshan went straight to the clothing store and traded half a pound of wolf meat for two large woven cloth bags.

After loading the supplies into it, you can trade.

"Isn't there a unified currency here? Bartering and bargaining wouldn't be a hassle."

Lin Feng saw people coming and going in the bustling market. Everyone was carrying a bag of things or carrying a trailer, and he couldn't help but ask.

Chen Shanshan has locked onto the target and explained:
"Because most of the desert dwellers live from day to day, keeping money in their hands is just a burden. Food and water are more practical. Dried meat is the hard currency here."

To put it bluntly, the scale of the market's commodity economy is not enough to support the issuance and circulation of currency.

Lin Feng nodded and continued to follow her.

The captain, who entered the shopping state, changed from the silent and taciturn person in the wilderness, and seemed to become a different person. He was very talkative and did not hesitate to bargain.

In the end, she spent ten kilograms of wolf meat and ten kilograms of offal in exchange for a bunch of stuff.

It includes flatbread buns baked with plant roots, a water filter, and a metal bucket filled with 200 liters of water.

It’s enough for three people to spend a month or so in the wasteland.

Holy Spring Day is also the time when fresh water is the cheapest.

In addition, what surprised Lin Feng the most was that the captain also exchanged it for a solar cooker.

In fact, it is a focusing mirror with a diameter of one meter. The inner concave surface is covered with a layer of reflective metal film, which can form a focusing point on the iron frame.

You can boil water with an iron kettle, and you can steam with an iron pot.

It's just a little slow, it takes an hour or so.

It is direct and convenient without a car battery.

But its advantage is that it has a simple structure and is not easily damaged by aging.

With this thing, hunting in the wilderness will be much more convenient, and you don't have to live the life of a savage eating raw meat and drinking blood.

After buying most of the daily necessities, the two of them walked to the end of the market with their hands full of things.

Suddenly, Lin Feng smelled an inappropriate stench, the stench of urine and feces. Although the smell was not strong, it was very abrupt in the relatively clean market.

He looked in the direction of the smell, and the scene before him made him stunned.

There were countless ragged men imprisoned in a group of rusty iron cages, and outside the cages were women with handcuffs and shackles, who were also listless and half-naked.

"This is the slave market. Besides food and water, it's the third largest business in the wasteland."

Chen Shanshan's voice came from beside her. She was used to it, having been one of them back then:
"Don't look at it. The slaves in this kind of place will only be bought by some caravans or wealthy people in the village and exploited to death. They have no fighting ability."

As she spoke, Chen Shanshan found an open space beside the slave market and placed the remaining viscera and wolf bones in the bag, as well as the remaining eighteen fine steel wolf fangs, on the linen cloth.

"You stay here and sell it to anyone who wants it. I'll go get other supplies. Medicines have to go to a special place. I'll push the cart over after I'm done buying them."

"The wolf teeth can be sold at a higher price. Specifically, they just need to be more expensive than twenty kilograms of dried meat."

Lin Feng nodded and sat in front of the stall.

The official actually accepts these things, but will only offer a guaranteed minimum price. If you really can't sell them, you will consider the Hunting Guild.

"Team...captain..."

"Captain Chen..."

At this time, several very faint calls were heard from the iron cage not far away.

Lin Feng looked up and saw several familiar faces. However, compared to their pale and skinny appearance at the beginning, these former team members who had left with Qi Shan had been tortured beyond recognition.

The eye sockets are deep and the cheekbones are prominent, which makes one look haggard.

Chen Shanshan didn't even look at them, picked up the remaining ten pounds of dried meat, turned around and left.

Lin Feng watched her leave, then turned his head and revealed a hint of a sneer. He took out the dried wolf meat he had left from his pocket, stuffed it into his mouth, and drank water in big gulps.

This piece of dried meat is the thigh meat from the hind legs of the steppe wolf. It is rich in nutrients and can help you improve your enhancement level.

He gulped down his meat and drank water, making his former teammates in the iron cage envious and jealous, their eyes bulging with envy, veins standing up, and shaking the rusty railings.

The slave owner standing by immediately scolded and whipped him.

Lin Feng took a careful look and found that Qi Shan's younger brother, including the woman who was performing a duet with him, was not among them.

They are all potential threats.

Soon after, as the wolf meat in his stomach was digested, an extremely comfortable warm current flowed through his whole body.

Lin Feng completed the upgrade and was promoted to lv4 mid-term enhanced person:
"Lin Feng, lv4/9"

「生命值24，体质：24，精神：23；lv4各属性上限25」

"Item upgrade limit increased to level 4"

"You can upgrade your Level 1 fine revolver by consuming 3 health point."

"You can upgrade the level 1 water filter by consuming 1 health point."

"You can upgrade the level 1 solar stove by consuming 1 health point."

But before Lin Feng could finish his careful reading, two figures stopped in front of the stall:

"Are these iron teeth wolf teeth?"
