Wasteland: My Items Can Be Infinitely Upgraded-Chapter 416 - 209: Module Levels, Lin Feng vs. Li Hao

This matter is definitely unclear to Xu Wanshuang. As the President, Xu Wanfeng might know, or might not, but it doesn’t affect Lin Feng’s use of it.

Without visible emotion, he consumed a bit of Life Value, integrating this peripheral device that could evade supervision into the Power Armor, completely making it his own possession. Then Lin Feng opened his mouth and asked:

"There should be more advanced models of this thing, right? I have data from tens of thousands of battles, maybe several tens of thousands, or even a hundred thousand battles?"

Xu Wanshuang nodded with a hint of surprise, clearly not expecting Lin Feng to consider it so deeply.

But she had already decided to leverage the rise of the man in front of her to achieve her goals, directly revealing matters that were originally internal secrets of the Guild.

Xu Wanshuang lowered her voice and said:

"That’s right, I don’t know the exact situation either, but once when I went to the branch venue in the Holy City, I saw in an internal order list that the Tier Two combat modules are divided into three levels, corresponding to the early, middle, and late stages of Tier Two Evolution. The number of combat scenarios loaded ranges from over ten thousand to a hundred thousand."

"The early-stage module doesn’t mean it can only handle battles at the Tier Two Early Stage. It ensures a stable win in close combat at the Tier Two Early Stage."

"Generally speaking, the early-stage module can completely handle battles between Tier Two Mid-Stage Evolvers."

"As for the more advanced middle-stage and late-stage modules, with my sister’s current clearance, it’s still not enough to obtain them."

"But once Leader Lin becomes a Guardian, he should be able to exchange for the middle-stage module, or upgrade the early-stage module in hand to the middle-stage."

Lin Feng nodded and immediately asked:

"Then what permissions or cost is required for the late-stage module?"

Xu Wanshuang furrowed her brows slightly and shook her head:

"It’s difficult. Generally, only candidates in the late stages of Tier Two, known as Hunter King Seeds, can exchange for it."

"Besides them, only those who have evolved to the Tier Two Limit, becoming a Level 29 Evolver, and are listed on the Tier Two Evolver Celestial List can obtain this qualification."

"The late-stage module contains the peak confrontations among thousands of Tier Two Late Stage Evolvers, including past Hunter King Seeds and regulars on the Celestial List."

"Acquiring it is akin to gaining a mastery in close combat, allowing an ordinary Tier Two Early Stage Evolver to match a Tier Two Mid-Stage Evolver, or allowing a Tier Two Mid-Stage Evolver to suppress a Tier Two Late Stage in close combat..."

"However, if Leader Lin needs to acquire it, there’s a convenient channel: during his tenure as a Guardian, fostering a good relationship with the Hunter King Seed he protects, helping him to ascend to the Tier Two Late Stage. This way, he can gain the right to use the late-stage module during the competition period."

"Also, if the selected Hunter King candidate becomes a true Tier Three Hunting King, then as a subordinate member, he can obtain additional exemption permissions."

"Given Leader Lin’s identity as a Gunpowder Ability User, even though the Alien Evolution Path of the Rock-Horned Horse is limited, it’s difficult to advance to the Tier Two Late Stage, but he can still be highly sought after, treated as an honored guest, obtaining the late-stage module to shore up the shortcoming in close combat weakness."

"By then, even if Leader Lin is only at Level 26, he can easily defeat Tier Two Late Stage Evolvers, and his ranking on the Tier Two Celestial List might far surpass Li Hao of back then, possibly ranking in the top twenty, even top ten..."

After listening to Xu Wanshuang’s explanation and introduction, Lin Feng realized that the so-called combat data module was actually a grand overt scheme.

Once equipped, it would collect the user’s combat data for aggregate synthesis.

It’s equivalent to contributing data to the Hunting Wilderness Guild for free, aiding them in version iterations.

But the reason it’s called an overt scheme is because if you don’t use it, you can only use the lowest level of combat assistance, which can’t even be called intelligent.

Relying solely on oneself to accumulate combat, without mentioning the hundreds of years in time span, by the time enough experience is gained, the body can’t keep up anymore. And just the risk from thousands to tens of thousands of battles is enough to eliminate most Evolvers.

After all, in Tier Two combat, a slight mistake can cause minor or major injuries, and at worst, life-threatening injuries.

Humans have mastered powerful burst strength with a high upper limit, but haven’t evolved a corresponding sturdy body for their race.

It’s akin to maxing out Agility Attributes, with an accompanying burst in Strength Attributes, but abandoning physical resilience, akin to a high attack, low defense assassin.

This is why the evolutionary path of the Rock-Horned Horse is so welcomed among Evolvers.

Especially with the advent of the Rock Horse Armor, it has filled a major shortcoming for Human Evolvers.

Li Hao once climbed to the top fifty ranks on the Celestial List with the Rock Horse Armor and robust vitality.

But now, the Hunting Wilderness Guild has launched a version of Power Armor that doesn’t require cumbersome thick Battle Armor and can simultaneously accommodate speed, power bursts, and defense, along with combat data modules that can directly turn the wearer into an elite melee fighter comparable to having external enhancements...

Any Tier Two Evolver, as long as they have the resources and qualification to acquire, wouldn’t give up adding this peripheral enhancement to their Power Armor.

Cheating in games only loses face, but not cheating in reality truly loses face—parents included.

That’s why so many geniuses and prodigies are willing to risk themselves, becoming part of the data, installing Tier Two combat modules.

If you don’t equip it, but others do, then others have an extra trump card of potential Tier Jumping ability.

So for the Hunting Wilderness Guild, there’s no concern about the lack of high-level Evolvers willing to act as test subjects.
