Eating a whole piece of Level 20 Evolutionary Dried Meat, it now takes a kilogram to achieve the fullness he previously felt.
Lin Feng realized that after advancing to Level 21, his body's needs had grown again, or rather, the Level 20 meat no longer had the same stimulating effect on the Level 21 evolutionary cells within him as before.
It's like drinking watered-down milk; as his energy density increases, the original milk flavor seems to get weaker in comparison.
This gave Lin Feng a straightforward data point to assess whether 300 kilograms of evolutionary dried meat could support his future evolution to higher levels.
It takes one piece for Level 21, which means for the upcoming Level 22, it might be two pieces.
If in a battle state, it might need twice as much, which is at least four pieces.
The consumption rate is not low.
The rebellion might last several days, and the enemy, understanding the situation and choosing action, won't launch a full-scale group offensive all at once, instead opting for small reconnaissance team harassments and assassination attempts on Lin Feng personally.
Only after all these efforts fail will they choose to make a last-ditch effort.
So for the Church, as long as they can stall and prevent the Li Family and other Tier Two Powerhouses from breaking into the Oasis control room and seizing command, good defense is enough.
Stalling until the Oasis Battleship passes the fork and enters the territory of the Zhuma Divine Hall will naturally bring Temple Knights for support.
In this way, avoiding high-intensity combat, reducing casualties, and delaying time is the real strategy of the Holy Spring Sect.
Even if their combat strength and experience are far inferior to the self-made Patriarch Li and the leaders of other villages...
As defenders, as long as they can leverage the advantages of terrain and identity, they can make up for the lack of combat power.
Tilting the scales of victory back in their favor.
Plus, Lin Feng can guard Holy Spring Village, freeing up Father Su An and the Church's combat strength.
At the same time, restricting the major villages from sending late-stage Evolvers onto the Oasis for continuous reinforcements, the Church can be said to have victory in their grasp!
For now, Lin Feng's involvement increases their chances of winning by at least seventy percent.
But such victory comes at the cost of Lin Feng acting as a target, drawing the collective attack from the upper echelons of the Three Major Villages.
At that time, besides potential Tier Two Evolvers, there will definitely be a large number of late-stage Evolvers targeting Holy Spring Village.
Thus, the consumption of evolutionary meat will only continue to increase, doubling in growth.
Also needing to reserve a portion for Chen Shanshan, the current 300 kilograms of dried meat on hand may not really be enough.
Lin Feng, while eating a piece of meat, proceeded with the next step of upgrading the Level 20 Armor-Piercing Cannon and High-Explosive Rapid-Fire Cannon attached to his waist.
He also integrated a few Mutated Vajra Wolf Fangs from the Alloy Wolf Head into the two guns, enhancing their armor-piercing capability to target the rebels' Rock Horse Armor.
This upgrade consumed 20 points of Life Value in one go, almost a tenth of Lin Feng's current Life Value, which was not a small expenditure.
Fortunately, eating the evolutionary meat quickly recovered this consumed part, having little impact.
After finishing the whole piece, the invigorated Lin Feng immediately moved to the freezer, opening it to see five Pure Source Materials and three Desert Wolf Source Materials left.
Taking out three of them, he quickly started the next level of evolution while his state was perfect, having just finished the evolutionary meat.
After consuming them in one go, the strong stimulation was even more intense than before with double the amount, yet the body's reaction weakened with each time as if developing resistance.
Yet the time to complete the absorption of Life Source Material and evolve to Level 22 Evolutionary Cells was even quicker than when he evolved to Level 21.
It only took about ten minutes.
If not for the breakthrough in the upper limit of physique strength, reaching thirty tons, Lin Feng would have doubted whether he had truly completed the evolution.
Fortunately, the improvement in physique and the system's prompt both confirmed that Lin Feng had already become a powerful Level 22 Evolver at this moment:
"Lin Feng, lv22/29"
"Life Value: 300, Physique: 300, Spirit: 299; lv22 Attribute Upper Limit 300"
"Superpower Awakening: Power of Branding"
"Power of Branding: Exclusive Equipment; Forced Upgrade; Assembly Synthesis; Accelerated Upgrade"
"Item upgrade limit increased to lv22!"
"Can consume 10 Life Value to continue upgrading the lv21 Machine Cannon Gun, lv21 Rapid Fire Cannon, lv20 Source Filter"
After the evolution, Lin Feng, although feeling the growth in strength, found that, compared to last time, the peak state post-evolution hadn't been maintained for long when a familiar hunger quickly struck.
It reminded Lin Feng of the burning hunger and weakness upon waking, with stomach pains and cold limbs.
The evolutionary meat consumed previously had been entirely digested in the evolution process, with the consumption rate of the Level 22 powerful physique visibly fast.
Lin Feng furrowed his brow, now being in a combat state, with every part of his body, every cell, in a high-speed operational state.
On the surface, there was even an indistinct phenomenon of airflow breathing, with body temperature rapidly rising.
In the cooling from the carriage's air conditioning, heat waves were steaming off the surface, distorting light.
From a distance, it seemed as if a barrier formed with the surrounding space, causing ripples to oscillate.
However, in this state, the reserves of nutrition and energy in Lin Feng's body were rapidly depleting, measured in seconds.
