Wasteland: My Items Can Be Infinitely Upgraded-Chapter 476 - 236: VIP Private Room, The Cheongsam Beauty’s Deal (Part 2)
When working in construction, I often accompanied the supervisor to entertain the client’s representatives, frequenting restaurants every day.
The interior soft-pack style is almost identical to the old era, but the dishes on the table definitely have a Wasteland feel.
Braised giant lizard, deep-fried round-headed insect, and a rare snake soup, with canned food served as pickles.
Besides that, there’s the locally distinctive Rock-Horned Horse Evolutionary Meat.
What surprised Lin Feng, though, was the addition of extremely delicate vegetarian dishes this time.
For example, the stir-fried cabbage hearts, made from only the tenderest parts of the cabbage and stir-fried with expensive animal fats, boasting a unique flavor.
Also included are tender buds of yam bean, among others.
These ingredients themselves aren’t too valuable; they’re also available in the cafeteria downstairs.
But compared to the cheap raw materials, focusing solely on the best-tasting parts shows the organizer’s meticulous effort.
From this, it can be seen that Li Mingquan, sitting at the head of the table, is determined to succeed in this negotiation.
At this VIP booth, Li Mingquan has reserved it solely to entertain Lin Feng.
Upon Lin Feng’s arrival, the host enthusiastically rose:
"Finally meeting again, Leader Lin now sits as Governor, holding the fate of Oasis, and is far busier than before; not easy to invite at all."
Lin Feng chuckled and nodded:
"Everyone in Oasis entrusts me with such responsibilities, I dare not be negligent, fearing any slip-up might cause Oasis to plunge into chaos."
Li Mingquan echoed with a smile:
"Have a seat; to invite you, I’ve spared no expense! Here’s the braised Level 20 Rock-Horned Horse Meat, a single bite restores your stamina."
With that said, before Lin Feng fully sits down, Li Mingquan eagerly tore off a large, glistening piece of skin and placed it in Lin Feng’s bowl.
He also served a piece to the cheongsam-wearing lady who sat down beside him, giving himself only a small piece.
Lin Feng glanced in surprise at the woman who sat down next to him before turning his gaze back to the braised meat in his bowl.
The braised meat exudes a rich aroma.
There’s a lot of anise, cinnamon, and other spices.
In this Wasteland Era, pure white table salt is a luxury, and being able to gather so many spices is a cost even comparable to Tier One Evolutionary Meat.
Indeed, it’s quite extravagant.
Moreover, the energy within the meat made Lin Feng’s mouth water at the thought.
Li Mingquan was right; this is a typical piece of Level 20 Rock-Horned Horse Evolutionary Meat, and it’s very fresh, unlike those frozen for a long time, which would ruin the cellular fiber structure, resulting in a mushy texture when cooked.
Its time of death is probably less than a year.
Unlike the many Advanced Rock-Horned Horse Evolutionary Meat Lin Feng obtained before, which could only be dehydrated into jerky after being cooked.
No way to make dishes with rich texture from them.
Seeing Lin Feng staring at the meat in his bowl but not moving his chopsticks, Li Mingquan decisively gulped down his own meat.
The cheongsam lady beside him started eating as well.
After seeing that the two showed no adverse effects, Lin Feng also began tasting it.
In fact, for Tier Two Powerhouses, their body’s cells have evolved to such a strength, achieving continuous replication and division, much like cancer cells, with no limit to division.
Hence, they are also called Immortal Bodies.
Trying to harm a Tier Two through poisoning food is unrealistic.
Because any toxin or anomaly would immediately be felt during chewing in the mouth, leaving no chance to invade the viscera.
Except through direct injection, allowing a large amount of toxin to enter the blood circulation to quickly paralyze muscles and spread throughout the body.
Lin Feng knew the other party has requests, so they wouldn’t resort to such petty tricks.
While savoring the free Level 20 Rock-Horned Horse Evolutionary Meat, Li Mingquan, having finished eating, retrieved a dark yellow bottle from the cabinet.
Lin Feng glanced at it and found it was a rare white wine, more accurately, high-proof brandy.
He had tasted this wine a long time ago; compared to traditional white liquor, it’s nothing special, except it has a fruity scent. When mixed with Sprite or iced tea, the alcohol stimulus of forty to fifty degrees is not felt, allowing him to drink several glasses without issue.
It’s just easy to blackout at the next event.
But this applies to ordinary people; for Tier Two Evolvers, even consuming ninety-eight degree Water of Life is just like injecting sedatives into rapidly dividing evolutionary cells.
Li Mingquan introduced:
"This is a treasure acquired from Holy City, a hundred-year-old grape wine, previously called brandy, as well due to the large day-night temperature difference there, making it exceedingly sweet."
"This bottle of wine is worth ten kilograms of Late-Term Evolutionary Meat, equivalent to five thousand points, with a thousand per glass, making it worthy of its price tag!"
Saying so, he poured Lin Feng a full glass.
After everyone at the table had their glasses filled, Li Mingquan raised his glass, introducing Lin Feng to:
"This is Madam Rong Yan, the controller behind Oasis Cafeteria, the big boss of this hotel."
"Additionally, Madam Rong is one of the few from Oasis Upper District to break through to Late Tier One, thus evading the fate of sacrifice."
Lin Feng was slightly moved; the former part he had somewhat anticipated, but the latter experience is extremely rare.
Such a strong person deserves respect.
Lin Feng raised his glass and nodded towards her.
Being able to stand out from Oasis Upper Class are geniuses among geniuses.
Though this place has ample food and clothing, evolutionary resources are incredibly scarce.
The Church nurtures the finest cattle, not selecting and breeding strong persons, so the well-off Upper District is ironically a cage with locked ascension channels.
Lin Feng realized this back then and resolutely rejected the Church’s proposition.
Rong Yan managed to break free from this, undoubtedly an exceptional individual. No wonder she later managed such a vital cafeteria, with her Evolution Level reaching Tier One Limit, Level 19.
Li Mingquan continued to introduce and praise Lin Feng’s background information to Rong Yan.
After mutual introductions, Li Mingquan spoke with some emotion:
"Our meeting today is not by chance, but due to shared needs."
"Here’s to us achieving the desired outcome!"
Lin Feng raised an eyebrow, detecting from Li Mingquan’s words regret and determination, not the attitude expected from the dominant Li Family.
After the three downed their glasses, this special banquet started to get into the main topic.
Li Mingquan gave Lin Feng another large piece of Level 20 Evolutionary Meat and said:
"Eat up; having so much Evolutionary Meat this time is thanks to Madam Rong’s generous contribution."
Lin Feng’s eyes narrowed, putting down his chopsticks.
Li Mingquan seeing this, continued:
"Leader Lin now holds a high position and power, practically reigning supreme in Oasis..."
"Actually, the matters between my family and the Church are purely internal, just escalated by interested parties, now affecting those below."
"Everyone is anxious, seeking to find retreat beforehand, ensure survival during upheaval and change."
"Don’t you agree?"
Lin Feng nodded noncommittally.
He’s seen plenty of such situations.
Li Mingquan coughed lightly.
Rong Yan understood and took out a piece of sealed jerky from under the table, handing it to Lin Feng:
"This is what he struggles to gather; we hope Governor Lin could accept it graciously."
The meat emitted Level 20 vibes.
Weighing over ten kilograms.
Worth several tens of thousands.
Lin Feng stared blankly, looking at Li Mingquan beside him.
The latter finally spoke:
"Madam Rong has an elder daughter and younger son, the latter made a mistake and was detained by the Church."
"We wish you could intervene and help."
"Moreover, Madam Rong hopes after this affair ends, her children follow your convoy to Holy City."
Lin Feng furrowed his brow:
"If I guess correctly, Madam Rong’s daughter and son should both be Upper Class; how can they leave here?"
Li Mingquan shrugged:
"You and I both know, regardless of Oasis’s final ownership, upper districts have no more reason to exist."
"Their fate would be even more tragic than the Hunters and Deserters below."
Lin Feng pondered briefly.
Rong Yan decisively supplemented:
"After matters settle, there’s Late Tier One Evolutionary Meat and some Level 20 Evolutionary Meat as additional compensation."
Lin Feng thought it over and agreed.
He’d already considered snatching a batch of Upper Class in the chaos for compensation for these days.
After discussing one issue, everyone ate several more rounds.
Rong Yan then stood up to excuse herself, leaving Li Mingquan and Lin Feng alone.
The former solemnly spoke, delivering words that shocked Lin Feng:
"What do you think, if I defect from my family now and join you, what are the chances of the Church not settling scores with me?"
