Chapter 191: Intimidation, Empowerment Grenade, Camp Intruder
Lin Feng finished speaking and didn't wait for Li Mingquan to respond before directly pushing the door open and leaving.
The latter stared at his departing figure as he boarded the battle vehicle, and his stiff smile immediately vanished, replaced by a very icy gaze.
The invitation from the opponent was nothing more than a demonstration of their own powerful strength, intending to intimidate everyone present.
It was a warning that even if they bought a large number of grenades, they would not pose a threat to the seller, and they should not act recklessly.
However, Li Mingquan also wanted to witness for himself what was so remarkable about the gunpowder ability user, who was said to be extraordinary...
What exactly made them so powerful!
In fact, even his understanding of the terrifying nature of the gunpowder ability user was merely hearsay. Although there were similar Evolvers in the Holy City, the secondary awakening trial for this ability was extremely challenging, so it was rare for them to reach Tier Two.
The strongest few at the late Tier One had the strength to rival an ordinary Tier Two Early Stage Evolver, equivalent to a medium-sized artillery that could hit targets precisely.
Although it was indeed powerful, it was far from being fearsome, as the Holy City, being a large settlement and first-class power, did not lack various types of artillery.
But when Li Mingquan handed over the background information on this newly emerged Tier Two powerhouse to his grandfather Li Hao, who was the Patriarch of the Li Family and an experienced Tier Two powerhouse who had been a dominating figure in the Holy City for hundreds of years, the usually composed Li Hao...
For the first time, showed an expression of surprise.
Li Mingquan had been raised by Li Hao, and this was also the first time he had seen Li Hao lose his composure.
One must know that back then, when he had a conflict with Deputy Bishop Zhang Hui, he remained calm and carried an imposing presence without anger.
What puzzled and worried Li Mingquan even more was that he detected a faint trace of fear in his grandfather's shocked eyes.
Though fleeting, it was unmistakably there.
Later, Li Hao didn't explain much but merely recounted an incident from his early years:
When he was at the peak of his time in the Holy City, he first met a gunpowder ability user at the Late Tier Two stage during a Celestial List ranking battle of the Hunting Wilderness Guild.
And that gunpowder ability user was also a Temple Knight of the Church, single-handedly challenging the top ten on the Celestial List.
This individual's strength was comparable to the number one beneath Tier Three!
One must know that at that time, Li Hao could barely squeeze into the top thirty of the Tier Two Celestial List, and while strong, he was not considered a Tier Three king-level entity.
This kind of story and description greatly shocked Li Mingquan, making him anxious and restless for two days.
Thus, he proactively sought a meeting.
"Alright then, let me see what power you have to stand and earn money!"
He finished speaking in a low voice, glanced at Cheng Mountain, the head of Dawn Village, snorted coldly, and turned to leave.
On the other side, Lin Feng, who returned fully loaded with goods traded with Dawn Village, introduced the six new members to his team.
For this reason, Lin Feng specifically established a mechanical repair team, naturally led by the Level 1 master, Cheng Wentian.
The other five third-level apprentices were already his students, all Level 9 Enhanced People, and quickly adapted.
Unfortunately, during Lin Feng's discussion with Li Mingquan, he did not see the proactively seeking allegiance Level 1 master or Level 2 skilled workers.
It was likely Li Mingquan's presence that intimidated them, considering their safety.
Although Lin Feng promised to fulfill his commitment to directly improve the Evolution stage by three levels for all those pledging allegiance, there were no corresponding protective measures.
In other words, technical workers with no combat experience would face life-threatening situations once they left Dawn Village.
However, Lin Feng believed that after the weapon test action ended tomorrow afternoon, when everyone witnessed the power of the gunpowder ability user, it would surely lead to a flood of people redeeming themselves to pledge allegiance.
By then, the convoy's size would expand even further.
Through previous compensation and arms trading, Lin Feng obtained not only five ordinary transport vehicles but a total of two hundred and sixty photovoltaic panels and twenty-eight motors.
And four hundred battery sets.
Apart from repairing battle vehicles and heavy truck transporters, the remaining materials were enough to refurbish and reorganize the four old vehicles brought by Ma Chenfeng, optimizing them into ordinary transport vehicles.
The remaining materials were kept as backups, as the team would undertake long journeys in the future, with a total of nineteen vehicles of various sizes, requiring replacement of many parts.
After assigning the mechanical repair team's tasks, the number of team members increased from fifty-two to fifty-eight.
The daily consumption was considerable.
Fortunately, they would trade with Li Mingquan tomorrow morning to exchange for urgently needed Enhanced Meat and Evolutionary Meat, as well as Life Source Material to reassure people.
After making arrangements, Lin Feng first went to the ammunition production workshop.
It was actually just the compartment of a heavy truck transporter.
After being moved here, the production efficiency had significantly improved, mostly due to a sufficient energy supply and the overall space being large.
Although it required two people to complete production, Ah Ming and Liu Qian could fully attend to grenade production while managing the vehicle's movement.
When Lin Feng arrived, he found that the two had already advanced to become Tier One Mid-Stage Evolvers, becoming the highest ranked individuals in the team apart from Lin Feng and the five other captains.
Seeing the leader's arrival, the two immediately came to the workshop.
Currently, the ammunition production machine was highly automated, only needing two people to handle feeding production materials, and another at the conveyor belt exit to check for grenade quality and for packing.
These tasks were ones that ordinary people could handle.
