Apocalypse: My Items Can Upgrade Infinitely

Lin Feng was overjoyed to see the notification.

He immediately ordered a return to the Taihu Lake Service Area.

On the way back, Lin Feng headed to the lower deck of the battleship. He found the door to the storage space—converted from the vehicle’s original trunk—and carried out a Tier Two Zerg Egg.

He dragged the massive Zerg Egg into the living room, where it took up almost the entire space.

Chen Yanyan, who was piloting the battleship, heard a series of thumps behind her. She set a course back to the city, began piloting the vessel with her Remote Control superpower, and then stepped into the living room behind the cockpit, where she saw the still-squirming Zerg Egg.

The flawless, pure white Tier Two Zerg Egg looked like a huge slab of glistening fat. As it swayed from side to side, it sent fleshy waves rippling across its surface.

She then saw Lin Feng standing nearby, aiming his gun at the egg, and asked:

"Was what you said earlier really true?"

Lin Feng had already told Chen Yanyan about his deal with the Ling Yi Mother Empress. As a core member of the team and the woman he trusted most, there was no need to hide such matters from her.

So, Chen Yanyan wasn’t asking if the Mother Empress had handed over the Zerg Eggs out of fear. She wanted to know if what Lin Feng had announced to everyone earlier—that they could gain upgrades by killing the eggs—was actually true.

After all, judging by his current actions, Lin Feng seemed just as eager to verify it himself.

Lin Feng switched the Level 25 Armor-Piercing Magnetic Cannon in his hands to its Level 9 Divine-level Pistol mode.

Although the Damage dropped from 500 to 40, it wouldn’t damage the battleship.

As for whether it could kill the Zerg Egg...

Thanks to the close contact while moving it just now, Lin Feng’s Identification Skill had already provided the most detailed results:

[Tier Two Tiger Spine Zerg Egg, Lv. 20]

[Life Value: 205, Physique: 30, Spirit: 0]

[Attributes: Consuming it will increase satiety by 100%, rapidly restore the physical condition of a Tier Two Awakener, and accelerate the healing of all bodily tissues except the brain. Each egg consumed adds an additional 10 points to the Physique Attribute Value.]

[Evaluation: This is the transitional stage where a Tier One Late Stage Black Spine Zerg evolves into a Tier Two Tiger Spine Zerg. The egg contains the Upgrade Energy of the Tier Two Zerg Race. Its specific organs are not yet fully developed, and its hard Giant Mandibles have not yet formed. However, killing it will grant the Upgrade Points required for Tier Two.]

[Note: A rare material for both upgrading and satisfying hunger. The primordial organic fluid inside the egg is safe to consume.]

[Note: If killed by bound equipment, the egg will lose all of its attribute effects.]

Lin Feng couldn’t stop the grin from spreading across his face as he read the full attribute description. He nodded at Chen Yanyan.

His finger, which had been about to pull the trigger, slowly relaxed.

Right now, because he lacked Orange Quality Fusion Materials, there wasn’t much point in upgrading the Land Patrol Battleship. The minor boost to its base stats wasn’t as good as adding a couple more pairs of Tier Two Tiger Spine Zerg Giant Mandibles.

It was a pity that during the last hunt for the Tiger Spine Zergs under Ling Yi, all the Giant Mandibles had been used to upgrade the Flying Tiger Armor. Back then, Lin Feng never imagined he would soon have such an easy opportunity to farm Upgrade Points.

Since he couldn’t get any from the Ling Yi Mother Empress, his only option was to target the Hai City Mother Empress.

Therefore, with this first batch of fifty Tier Two Zerg Eggs, Lin Feng planned to first get his Level 25 Armor-Piercing Magnetic Cannon to its Full Level.

He calculated that he would need at least thirty-four eggs to successfully upgrade it into a Level 29 Top-Grade Orange Weapon.

He didn’t have an immediate use for the remaining sixteen, so he would give them to his companions to help them reach their Tier Two Awakening.

After all, they needed the ability to protect themselves from enemies for the times Lin Feng was out on his own.

And the one who needed it most was his closest girlfriend and comrade-in-arms, Chen Yanyan, who was standing right before him.

So, Lin Feng put away the Armor-Piercing Magnetic Cannon and instead took an ordinary long saber down from where it hung on the kitchen wall.

Although it was ordinary, Lin Feng had also upgraded it to Level 9:

[Ordinary Long Saber Lv. 9/9, White Quality]

[Durability: 10/10, Damage: 50, State: Good]

[Evaluation: A fine close combat weapon capable of inflicting massive damage. It has reached its Full Level.]

[Tier Jumping Upgrade Conditions: Kill Tier One Zerg Race (0/1)]

[Note: Due to its inferior base material, this weapon requires additional Red Quality metal for a Fusion Upgrade. Otherwise, there is a high probability it will shatter, causing the upgrade to fail.]

Lin Feng only gave it a cursory glance before handing the Level 9 Ordinary Long Saber to Chen Yanyan.

In fact, back in his Tier One Late Stage, before his Secondary Awakening, he had already conducted upgrade experiments with a large number of close combat weapons.

Unfortunately, most of the Level 9 melee weapons shattered and were ruined during the upgrade process, failing to reach Red Quality.

This was also why he had been inquiring about Liu Yueqi’s whereabouts. The Thousand Slash Saber she carried might not have the potential to reach Orange Quality, but upgrading it to Red Quality above level ten was definitely possible.

Unfortunately, ever since the refugee group entered Jin City, they had vanished without a trace, like a fish released into the sea.

Lin Feng could only pin his hopes on Hu Fei and Han Yuxin, hoping they had some good channels to acquire melee weapons with excellent materials and great potential.

He was also counting on Ding Chenghai to quickly forge a battle saber comparable to a Tier Two Tiger Spine Zerg Giant Mandible, which Lin Feng could then upgrade and modify into a peerless blade.

Now, Chen Yanyan took the long saber and, under Lin Feng’s encouraging gaze, walked toward the rather disgusting Zerg Egg.

The still-living Tier Two Zerg Egg resembled a larva from a hornet’s nest, with a pair of pincer-like mouthparts on its head for eating and absorbing nutrients.

It had no limbs, so it couldn’t move. It could only continuously open and close its mouthparts, making a rustling sound to signal to any nearby Red-Armored Beetle hive-nannies that it needed to be fed.

Unfortunately, what was brought to its mouth wasn’t high-energy food, but the cold, gleaming edge of a blade.
