Apocalypse: My Items Can Upgrade Infinitely

Beautiful women were always dangerous. The more beautiful and single they were, the more dangerous they became.

This was a piece of worldly wisdom Lin Feng treated as gospel.

It was a constant reminder to stay vigilant and always have an ace up his sleeve when dealing with beautiful women.

That was why he hadn’t told Sister-in-law Yurou everything, nor had he been completely honest with Chen Yanyan, even after she had confessed her feelings for him.

And now, facing the most beautiful woman in the world, even someone as resolute as Lin Feng had almost fallen for her tricks.

After all, who could have guessed that this shy, tender, charming, and seemingly harmless beauty would have an early Awakening of such a covert Spiritual Superpower?

And the most difficult kind to detect, at that: Mind Control.

Paired with her divinely gorgeous face and her tall, voluptuous, stunning figure, it pushed her charm to the absolute maximum—a perfect match for her Superpower.

If not for Lin Feng’s well-developed habit of prioritizing caution, he might not have snapped out of it. After all, she had only said a few words, which were far from being a threat to his physical safety.

But now that he had seen through her little tricks, no matter how beautiful the woman before him was, she lost that filtered halo in Lin Feng’s eyes. He temporarily suppressed the stirring desire within him.

His rational mind had once again taken control.

Once Chen Yanyan, the only other person present, had left, Lin Feng chose to lay his cards on the table. He watched as the beauty before him trembled, the color draining from her face as it filled with terror...

He smiled faintly and took his hand off the grip of his gun.

"Shhh, don’t move. And don’t call for anyone."

"Slowly, place what’s in your palm on the table."

Jiang Yun’er swallowed hard. She didn’t know when he had broken free of her charm. Before the other woman left, everything had been going so smoothly.

She had been just one final step—or even half a step—away.

’Could it be that this handsome, smiling man has been playing along with my act from the very beginning?!’

At this thought, Jiang Yun’er grew even more panicked. When the ability she was so proud of failed to work, her mental defenses crumbled like a bursting dam, washed away in an instant.

Her long legs, which had been crossed, were now uncrossed as she moved her hands. She pressed her flawless, toned legs tightly together, muscles tensed to stop her whole body from trembling.

She tried to regain her composure.

’I haven’t lost yet. Even if he’s seen through my plan, he wouldn’t dare do anything to me.’

’Besides, the camera in the back is still recording. As soon as I leave this repair shop, I’m still Jiang Yun’er, the world-famous superstar.’

When she placed the recording pen from her palm onto the table, Lin Feng reached over and picked it up. He crushed it into pieces right in front of her horrified eyes.

Then he picked up the kettle and poured her a cup of tea.

"Miss Jiang, don’t you understand that you should come to a negotiation with sincerity?"

"You were lucky this time. You ran into me, and I’m a reasonable person. If you run into someone else next time, the thing that gets crushed might not be just this little toy."

"Don’t be in such a hurry to leave. We’re not finished here."

"Of course, I can’t force you to stay if you want to leave. But for tomorrow’s mission to film the slaying of the Black Spine Zergs, I imagine Miss Jiang will be able to have a nice chat with the Tier One Zergs."

"Right? That Charm Ability of yours is really useful."

The man’s calm, unhurried words thundered in Jiang Yun’er’s ears like a clap of thunder, echoing relentlessly.

Not only had he ignored her mind-charming ability, but he had also seen through all of her plans.

It even made Jiang Yun’er suspect that Lin Feng’s awakened Superpower was mind-reading, that he could see her very thoughts.

But now was not the time for suspicion. The man before her was waiting for a response, and he was not one to be refused. This made Jiang Yun’er extremely uncomfortable; in her twenty-two years of life, she had never been in such an awkward and embarrassing situation.

But the man’s gaze was like a sharp knife pressing against her throat.

Steeling herself, Jiang Yun’er’s voice trembled.

"I... I’m sorry, Mr. Lin..."

"It was my fault for using my Superpower on you without permission."

"It’s just that I can’t really control it. It always seems to activate without me realizing it."

Lin Feng’s brow furrowed, his smile vanishing.

"For adults, an apology is more than just a few words."

"I know you have a powerful background, maybe you’re the illegitimate child of some big shot. But this is the front line. This is where we face the Zerg Race’s attacks head-on."

"In a world where you don’t know if you’ll live to see the next day, when things get desperate, no one cares about your background. So many of Hai City’s elite have died under the mandibles of the Zerg Race..."

"Their bones are gone, and they died as insignificantly as rats and ants."

"Here, only strength earns respect. Remember to be more respectful toward Awakened."

"Alright, so what can you offer as compensation for your ’unintentional’ offense toward me?"

Jiang Yun’er’s body flushed with heat. Tiny beads of sweat formed on her snow-white skin. Lin Feng’s deep voice was like a demon’s whisper, pushing her step by step into a bottomless abyss.

It was a harsh lesson for a life that had been nothing but smooth sailing.

’Thinking it over, based on what Lin Feng said, the only thing I have to offer... is myself.’

Immediately, some indecent images flashed through Jiang Yun’er’s mind, but she knew she couldn’t give in and agree!

Her status as a top-tier international superstar, her own position and influence—she couldn’t possibly submit to a petty man who wasn’t even a military officer.

After a moment of struggle, Jiang Yun’er’s tone became firm.

"For my unintentional offense, as compensation..."

"I can give you my private contact information."

"In the future, if there’s anything you need, as long as it’s something I can do for you, just ask. Except for..."

Lin Feng nodded and replied coldly,

"Control those idiots under you. I don’t want to see any mention of me in the promotional videos or news reports that get released."

Hearing the man’s demand, Jiang Yun’er breathed a sigh of relief. She immediately promised and gave her word again and again, even making a solemn vow, terrified that Lin Feng wouldn’t believe her.

Seeing Lin Feng nod in agreement, Jiang Yun’er stood up at once, wanting only to escape the awkward atmosphere of the repair shop and return to her comfortable, private RV.

However, just as she turned, the man’s indifferent voice, which sent a chill down her spine, came from behind her:

"Did I say we were done?"

As his words fell, the click of a pistol hammer being cocked sounded in unison, causing Jiang Yun’er to freeze and slowly turn back around.

Lin Feng smiled and spoke calmly:

"My woman had to go rest early because of you. So, you’ll have to take over and finish what’s left."

Jiang Yun’er’s expression changed. She hadn’t expected Lin Feng to refuse to let her off the hook after all. A resolute look appeared in her misty, tear-filled eyes, but her voice carried a sob.

"I told you, I won’t do that kind of thing. And you already agreed..."

Lin Feng grunted.

"I’m not going to touch you. It’s just washing my feet, helping me bathe, and giving a massage to soothe my muscles. If you’ve never taken care of someone before, then you can start learning now."

"If you continue to be willful, opportunities like this will only become more frequent in the future."

With that, Lin Feng stood up and walked into the RV behind him, leaving one last sentence before he disappeared.

"You make your living with that mouth of yours. You’re articulate, so use that silver tongue of yours to persuade me."

Jiang Yun’er stood frozen, watching Lin Feng’s figure disappear into the dark doorway of the RV. After a few minutes of struggle, she finally made up her mind.

She picked up the teacup from the table, drained it in one gulp, then took a step, walked into the RV, and removed her veil.

Looking at the man sitting on the sofa, she lowered her proud head, her eyes welling with tears.

"Promise me you’ll help me complete my full Awakening."

Half an hour later, with her veil back on, Jiang Yun’er strode out of the Armored RV and hurried back to her own.

She grabbed a bottle of mountain spring water and poured it into her mouth.

...

Inside the Armored RV, Chen Yanyan walked out of the bedroom, holding a phone that had just recorded a video, and handed it to Lin Feng.

"Do we really have to go this far?"

"We might need her help in the future."

Lin Feng shrugged. Looking at the new friend request he had just accepted on his phone—from a user with the screen name "Yun’er"—he broke into a satisfied smile.

"Don’t worry. This is just a precaution. A taste of her own medicine."

"What goes around, comes around."

"With this, won’t she be much more obedient?"

Chen Yanyan nodded.

"Alright then. After this mission is over, I’ll send her a few screenshots."

Lin Feng stood up, tightening his belt.

"Remember to censor it."

He then walked out of the RV, looked at the ten pairs of Black Spine Zerg Giant Mandibles piled to the side under a tarp, and initiated the fusion Upgrade for the Lv12 Armored RV.

[Armored RV Lv12/19, Red Quality]

[Upgrade Points 10/10 (Upgradeable), Damage 50, Defense Power 80, Average Speed 120 km/h, Range 450km]

[Consume one bound synchronous upgrade to perform a fusion modification?]

[Optional Materials: Black Spine Zerg Giant Mandible, Machine Cannon, Divine-level Pistol Replica]

Lin Feng selected "Yes" without hesitation.

A red light shot from his body into the Armored RV and the ten pairs of cleaned Giant Mandibles nearby. The next moment, the Black Spine Zerg’s Giant Mandibles slowly faded and disappeared, while a faint red glow appeared on the surface of the RV.

The previously fused Fine Steel Armor began to twist and deform, gradually taking the shape of several Divine-level Pistols.

After initiating the evolution, Lin Feng went back into the RV and into the bedroom. On the bed, Chen Yanyan was already waiting.

Lin Feng took off his clothes when his eyes suddenly lit up. He hadn’t expected that the Lv16 Machine Cannon at his waist, which had been undergoing a long night of upgrading...

...had finally finished in the early hours of the morning:

[Grenade Cannon Lv17/19, Red Quality]

[Upgrade Points 0/9, Damage 150, Effective Range 6 kilometers, Remaining Bullets 4000/4000]
