Apocalypse: My Items Can Upgrade Infinitely

"Holy shit, you’re still alive!"

Hu Fei’s shocked, flustered voice came from the other end of the line.

Lin Feng, however, was surprised that Hu Fei remembered his voice after they’d only met once.

"We still have a big deal to discuss."

"As a businessman, I’d think you’d have more confidence in your partners."

"Otherwise, who would trust you with their goods?"

Lin Feng’s playful tone held a veiled warning, which Hu Fei quickly picked up on, immediately changing his attitude.

"You’re right, Mr. Lin. I sincerely apologize for my previous oversight. I will arrive at the toll station in an hour and a half. Please wait for me."

"Also, I’ll inform the person in charge of the supermarket at the toll station. You can take whatever supplies you want as compensation for my unauthorized withdrawal."

Lin Feng nodded. He had to maintain a position of strength. To Hu Fei, in a market where demand far outstripped supply, Lin Feng was the client who needed to be courted.

"An hour and a half? Did you flee all the way to Jin City?"

"I think you should hurry. After all, this sound is going to attract a lot of other buyers."

As he spoke, Lin Feng moved the phone closer to the Giant Mandible of a Black Spine Zerg. The familiar hissing sound made Hu Fei realize the urgency of the situation.

"I’ll be there within the hour, definitely. Please forgive me, I just need a little time to put together a generous price you can’t refuse."

Hu Fei’s rushed words came through the phone. He clearly sounded anxious and hung up as soon as he finished speaking.

Lin Feng put down his phone, a faint smile on his face.

At that moment, his own back-to-back level-ups had completed: 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

「Lin Feng, Lv. 12/19」

「Life Value: 80, Physique: 75, Spirit: 80」

「Equipment: Blast Gun Lv. 12/19 (Upgrading), Red Quality; Highly Modified RV Lv. 11/19 (Heavy Wear, Upgradable), Red Quality」

「Skills: Identification, Upgrade, Copy」

Leveling up twice didn’t bring any special changes, just a 20-point increase to each of his Attributes. The equipment section, however, did remind Lin Feng that the RV could be upgraded further.

Lin Feng thought for a moment and decided to wait for Hu Fei to see what price he would offer. Then he’d decide how many materials to keep for the upgrade fusion.

And he would definitely keep the Giant Mandibles from the Lv. 14 Black Spine Zergs. Lin Feng didn’t want the front of his RV to be half-wrecked after just a few collisions on future missions.

After a short rest, Chen Yanyan finished cleaning up the chaotic RV, clearing out a pile of ruined items. Many fruits and vegetables had been crushed and squashed, and ceramic bowls and basins were smashed all over the floor.

She changed her clothes in the bedroom, emerging in one of Lin Feng’s T-shirts and a pair of denim shorts.

Her pair of fair, well-proportioned long legs were exceptionally eye-catching, even in the dim light.

"I’m going to the supermarket to stock up. We also need toiletries. I don’t think we brought any from the villa, but I wouldn’t dare use those anyway."

Chen Yanyan said, dropping a large bag of trash.

Lin Feng nodded. He wanted to take advantage of the situation before the supermarket’s goods were all packed up and shipped out, going on a "zero-dollar" shopping spree.

"Alright, let’s go to the supermarket next door and restock."

Chen Yanyan took out her wallet, then a thought occurred to her.

"Can we still use Federation currency?"

Lin Feng shrugged.

"You can, but it’s devaluing too quickly. Plus, this is a frontline warzone. A hundred might not even be worth what ten was before. Besides, the supermarket here uses a point system and is only open to internal staff."

Chen Yanyan looked a little dejected.

"Then what do we do? Our mission is considered complete, right? We should have some points for it?"

Lin Feng nodded. He walked to the entrance of the auto repair shop and saw Liu Yueqi walking over, a few white bandages wrapped around her head. She had apparently finished venting to her aunt.

"Take Liu Yueqi to the supermarket and grab whatever you want. Bring back everything you need."

"Especially medical supplies, hemostatic medicine, things like that."

Chen Yanyan’s eyes lit up.

"For free? Is it a reward for the mission?"

Lin Feng looked at the employees packing up goods in the supermarket across the way and said calmly,

"It’s a personal gift from Hu Fei. Just mention my name. Go on, hurry up. And grab some water to refill the water tank while you’re at it."

Hearing Lin Feng’s answer, Chen Yanyan’s gloom turned to joy. She walked up and gave Lin Feng a peck on the cheek.

"Looks like our business partner is getting impatient."

Having survived this life-or-death ordeal, Chen Yanyan was gradually letting go of her inhibitions around Lin Feng and becoming bolder.

"There shouldn’t be anything else happening for a while, right?"

Chen Yanyan asked suddenly after the kiss.

Lin Feng smiled and nodded.

"The Zerg Race also needs some time to consolidate their gains."

"Both sides need a temporary reprieve. But small skirmishes and minor conflicts won’t stop. This is our chance. You need to achieve your Superpower Awakening as soon as possible."

Chen Yanyan hummed in agreement and muttered under her breath,

"Then there will definitely be time to sleep."

As she spoke, she walked right over, pulled Liu Yueqi along, and headed for the shopping center across the street.

Watching Chen Yanyan’s departing figure, Lin Feng could still feel the lingering warmth from his Upgrade, making him feel an itch deep inside.

After sleeping with Sister-in-law Yurou yesterday, Lin Feng thought he had become indifferent to carnal matters. He hadn’t expected that after the tense and exciting battle, all sorts of distracting thoughts would build up inside him again. Right now, all he wanted was a satisfying release.

Chen Yanyan’s slender, perfect legs were like a pair of bowstrings, constantly plucking at the strings of a man’s desire.

Lin Feng’s Evaluation of them was a perfect score.

Seeing that both women had gone shopping, Lin Feng lay back in his chair to rest and pulled out his phone to scroll through the news.

There were reports from all over about newly emerged Superpower Awakeners, related criminal cases, and various conflicts between Awakeners and ordinary people, as well as among Awakeners themselves.

Many Awakeners had also taken to the battlefield, distinguishing themselves in the fight against the Zerg Race.

Meanwhile, on many hidden trading websites, businesses had already popped up selling live Zergs for the purpose of enhancement and Awakening.

The price of a single common Red-Armored Beetle had been driven up to several hundred grams of gold, while Black Spine Zergs above Lv. 10 were priceless and unavailable. Even if someone offered tens of millions, no one was taking the order.

Red-Armored Beetles were one thing; a team of ordinary Enhanced People could hunt and capture them. But because of their nature, only a team of Awakeners equipped with heavy firepower could successfully capture a live Black Spine Zerg.

This was also why Hu Fei was in such a rush. If he was a step too late and Lin Feng sold the live Black Spine Zergs to someone else, it would be a massive loss for him.

In the eyes of a competent businessman, when an item’s value exceeded what could be measured by money, the returns it could bring were no longer just about wealth.

It was about something more than just riches.

For instance, the personal friendship of a powerful figure, or the exclusive rights to a particular franchise.

This was what Hu Fei was really after.

And because of this, he could make Lin Feng an offer he couldn’t refuse.

Forty minutes later, Hu Fei kept his promise and arrived at the service area early. He was in a modified commercial van, followed by a container truck.

The two vehicles stopped in front of the repair shop. Hu Fei got out and walked briskly over to Lin Feng. This time, however, he didn’t sit down right away. Instead, he stood to the side, staring at the trembling tarp behind the RV.

His intuition told him that the thing he so desperately wanted was right inside.

"Sit down and let’s talk."

Lin Feng put down his phone and said calmly.

Hu Fei swallowed hard. Realizing there might be more than one live creature under the tarp, he immediately mustered his utmost enthusiasm.

He sat down on the bench across from Lin Feng, clapped his hands, and ordered his subordinate to open the electric sliding door of the van’s rear compartment.

Inside sat a row of beautiful young women. There were sexy and glamorous ones in black stockings and garter belts, cute and playful ones in short skirts and white shirts, and even a hot, blonde, blue-eyed Western woman...

"Sorry to keep you waiting, Mr. Lin!"

"This isn’t the best place to talk business. How about we go to a private room at the hotel on the second floor of the administration building? We can relax a little while we discuss this big deal."

Lin Feng glanced over and saw the women in the van smiling at him, acting coy and flirtatious...

The corners of his mouth slowly curved upward.
