Wasteland for All: I Can Infinitely Upgrade My Vault

With Yue Qingnian and his men helping, the scavenger camp was quickly cleared, and the spoils were loaded onto vehicles. Driven by Seele, the vehicles kicked up two trails of dust on the wasteland and sped towards the Dark Merchant's stronghold.

Yue Qingnian is truly a very intelligent young man, or more precisely, someone with extremely high emotional intelligence.

Among the spoils, he also found the two packages of goods that had been stolen by the scavengers, but he simply threw them in the carriage without mentioning getting them back, naturally assuming that these were the spoils Zhong Li obtained from clearing out the scavengers' camp.

If someone were more naive, they would most likely ask Zhongli to return the items to them.

After all, many people subconsciously believe that good people deserve to be held at gunpoint.

Although the two bags of loot contained nothing of value, just basic spoils, Zhong Li probably wouldn't care. But whether he cares or not, whether he asks to take them back is another matter entirely.

Yue Qingnian showed great emotional intelligence in this regard, never mentioning the matter, and only requesting to continue to the Dark Merchant's stronghold.

Zhong Li guessed that there might be some valuable items in his personal backpack that he wanted to sell.

But Zhong Li generously didn't interfere, believing that talent is always more important than a little bit of wealth.

So Zhongli agreed to take him on the road, and then inspected the three items that Hongluan had handed over in the carriage.

First, there are the wasteland relics. After these battles, you'll have accumulated quite a bit of experience and wasteland relics.

There were 115 wasteland relics alone. Of these, 65 were obtained in the fierce battle near the airdrop crate, 15 were obtained in this scavenger camp, and the remaining 35 were saved by Suzaku and the others for Zhongli.

Clearly, Zhongli now carries the hopes of the entire village on his shoulders.

This feeling of bearing a heavy burden made Zhong Li feel somewhat heavy-hearted.

But for the sake of the expectant gazes of countless people, he had to pull himself together and look at Hongluan, asking, "How's your leveling progress?"

Hongluan glanced at her attribute panel and said, "I've already reached level 6, but I'm still a bit far from level 7."

Zhongli then looked at Huowu, who said, "I just leveled up to level 5 in this battle."

He was the closest to leveling up. Zhongli checked his attribute panel and found that he had already reached level 4 with a total of 1752 experience points. He needed 2500 experience points to level up to level 5.

Zhongli then used all the basic relics and gained 1460 experience points.

The experience gained from basic relics is 10-30 points, and Zhong Li clearly felt that the experience value of relics left by the Red Erosion Creatures in the wasteland was higher.

With this experience, he leveled up to lv5, but chose to sacrifice all the attribute points he gained in exchange for +2 Faith.

Before he knew it, Zhongli had 5 points of faith!

还剩下712点经验值，锺离又消耗500点把断罪之枪提升到了lv3，消耗100点经验值把鲜血祷告升到了lv2.

[Blood Prayer Lv2: Life is a prison, death is liberation. Death is atonement, blood is prayer. Upon killing an elite or higher-level unit, you will be cleansed with blood, gaining a state of invulnerability, unaffected by control effects, lasting 2.5 seconds. After the invulnerability ends, you will recover 1 point of spiritual energy and 1 point of health.]

【Judgment Spear Lv3: The flames of judgment illuminate the darkness. The fire of judgment burns away evil. It is high noon! Consume 1 point of psionic energy to simultaneously attack up to 9 targets within a 65-meter radius. Guaranteed hit, and deals (2.5) times faith damage. Cooldown: 55 seconds.】 (Restricted to ranged weapon classes)

Zhong Li discovered that the effect of this level increase was quite significant, with each level bringing both quantitative and qualitative changes.

In addition to the increased stats, Blood Prayer also grants 1 point of health regeneration.

The Spear of Judgment has a larger attack range, but its psionic energy is halved. More for the same price!

Zhong Li now truly felt the absolute advantage of the cult's armed forces. No wonder Huo Wu said that the cult's armed forces were usually stronger than those of other forces.

A level 5 [Punishment Knight] has base stats that aren't much lower than soldiers from other wasteland factions. But the difference in their special attribute, Faith, is huge.

With Zhongli now activated [Spear of Judgment], a single shot can deal 13 points of holy damage.

Even a minor boss like a mutant hunter can be taken down with a single shot.

At this moment, he also felt a bit of the terror of an elite witcher, being able to rush into the mutant camp alone and kill more than a dozen mutants with headshots.

If he can advance to the champion-level template, with a damage calculation bonus of +100%, he will also be able to deal fatal damage to eroded creatures.

The only weakness right now is the long cooldown period of his skills. With a 55-second cooldown on his ultimate, monsters can tear him apart hundreds of times over.

However, it's only level 5 now, so there's still a lot of room for improvement in the future.

After relaxing for a moment, Zhong Li continued to look at the other two props.

[Primary Gene Harmonizer (3.57% low concentration): The Primary Gene Harmonizer is a standard agent developed by every corporation in the wasteland. Injection significantly reduces the probability of failure and mutation when taking Awakening Biochemical Agents.]

Biochemical agents are considered the lowest level among gene agents. All biochemical agents carry risks, with a chance of reduced properties or malignant mutations. Different biochemical agents can also conflict with each other. Gene harmonizing agents can, to some extent, improve the shortcomings of biochemical agents and reduce risks.

This was an essential item for cultivating superhumans, as one would inevitably encounter superhumans sooner or later in the wasteland. Zhong Li carefully stored this precious concoction in his personal backpack.

And the last item, the [Superior Grade Crystal Chip], is truly amazing!

It's like a super-enhanced version of digital technology, containing the memories of an elite soldier.

As long as you have a [Plain Body Printer], you can produce an elite-level soldier.

This is like combining a brain-computer interface chip and a clone creation chamber.

If you can obtain an [Unactivated Superior-Grade Crystal Chip], you can record the memories of an elite soldier, and then reactivate the soldier at the [Physical Imprinter] by consuming biomass.

This means that Huo Wu can be summoned repeatedly, and apart from not having any new memories, her body is no different from before.

To record Hongluan's memories, a [Perfect-grade Crystal Chip] is needed. Using a [Superior-grade Crystal Chip] is also possible, but the printed soldiers will only be elite-grade.

However, all of this is still quite far from Zhongli's reach. He currently has neither an inactive crystal chip nor a physical printer, and his focus is still on the transactions at the Dark Merchant's base.

As the sun rose, Seele's furiously driven Bull and Horse was very close to the Dark Merchant's stronghold.
