Lin Feng initially thought the male Rock-Horned Horse they had caught was on its last legs.
After all, with such severe injuries, and being choked around the neck by Chen Shanshan during capture, with several solid punches landing on its head.
As the three of them carried it back, it barely struggled in the latter half of the journey, its breathing gradually weakening.
After the difficult journey back to camp, Lin Feng was ready to evolve another level himself, only for Old Duncan to bring out a bottle of water mixed with sugar and salt, pouring it into the Rock-Horned Horse's mouth.
The stallion, which had previously been unconscious, instantly became alert, shaking off its languid and half-dead state, and began struggling to break free from the ropes on its limbs.
The wounds on the horse's body also started to scab and stop bleeding at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Both Lin Feng and Chen Shanshan were quite astonished.
The Rock-Horned Horse's self-healing speed was truly amazing, much faster than that of humans.
The original cub in the iron cage was removed, and this male Tier One Rock-Horned Horse was stuffed inside. Old Duncan stood to the side, showing a rare and heartfelt smile, becoming more talkative.
He explained to Lin Feng and the others:
"The self-healing abilities of Evolutionary Desolate Beasts are quite strong, especially the males responsible for fighting. As long as there's no major blood loss or direct damage to vital areas like the heart or brain, they can usually survive multiple injuries."
"Evolvers are actually the same; it's just that our bodies are smaller, appearing more fragile compared to Desolate Beasts, but our recovery speed is also several times that of a Level 9 Enhanced Person."
"So, I must thank you both for your assistance this time."
"Without you, it wouldn't have been so easy to take down a Level 13 male Rock-Horned Horse."
Lin Feng nodded, knowing this Rock-Horned Horse would surely evolve smoothly to Mid-Tier One, and it even had a certain chance of advancing to Late Tier One, Leader Level.
A Rock-Horned Horse with such potential, its value is second only to Leader Level, and even if not for Oasis Upper Class qualification, it could at least be exchanged for more than three evolution opportunities.
No wonder Old Duncan was so happy.
After expressing his thanks, Old Duncan immediately had his team members take Lin Feng and the others to dismantle the battery pack.
They removed three sets from their active electric vehicle, and then took out the batteries from two mountain bicycles, handing over a total of five sets.
The weight reached over a hundred kilograms.
"The batteries are old, that's how they were when we bought them. If needed later, you can find an engineer in Dawn Village to refurbish them for some points, or exchange old for new."
Old Duncan personally covered the male Rock-Horned Horse inside the cage with a black cloth to prevent further struggling, and after handling that, he quickly came over to introduce himself to the two.
At this moment, Lin Feng squatted down to inspect the battery packs, catching a glimpse of the results out of the corner of his eye:
"Inferior Lead-Acid Battery Level 6, White Quality"
"Basic Attributes: Can store 1.5 kWh of electricity; Remaining lifespan 480 hours; Durability: 8/10; Can consume one Life Value point for an upgrade"
"Note: Continuous use over a long time will wear down battery durability, reducing lifespan; working continuously for 60 hours will reduce durability by one point"
"Evaluation: Hand-refurbished old lead-acid battery, slow charging, slow discharging, low electricity storage, low power release; besides safety, has no other advantages, yet can endure the bumps of wilderness travel; each set provides a seven-kilometer range, can be combined with the photovoltaic circuit to maintain the fastest speed of twenty kilometers per hour"
Old Duncan continued to introduce:
"One set can store two degrees of electricity and can be fully charged in under an hour, providing a van with a ten-kilometer range. Five sets can run fifty kilometers more, and adding the original power, even after staying here for a few more days, you can easily catch up to the Oasis Town even if it's a hundred kilometers away."
Lin Feng nodded, having become immune to the false advertising of Dawn Village shops.
They would always exaggerate a level in their description.
Inferior items considered as ordinary, ordinary as high-quality, and high-quality as premium goods.
However, as long as the items were in hand and not yet scrapped, no matter how poor the quality, it was just a matter of upgrading time and a few Life Value points for Lin Feng.
He didn't voice any difficulties against Old Duncan, given that the other side was also a victim of greedy shops, and didn't know how to distinguish good from bad. Lin Feng directly took the batteries and left Duncan Squad's camp, returning to his own squad.
Then he called Liu Mingfei for the battery assembly.
When ordering this electric vehicle, Lin Feng had already considered the post-installation of additional batteries, having Mechanical Village and Dawn Village leave space for battery loading in the initial design.
It was placed below the trunk of the electric vehicle.
A two-square-meter groove divided into ten compartments.
Wires on both sides were pre-prepared, allowing the photovoltaic panel's circuitry to connect here, hooking up to the battery and then to the motor, providing stronger power to the electric vehicle.
While Liu Mingfei assembled, Lin Feng also upgraded these five sets of Level 6 inferior batteries, one by one.
During the upgrade, Lin Feng discovered a benefit, that after becoming an Evolver, he could upgrade low-level White Quality equipment to Level 9 in one go.
All it required was the expenditure of a corresponding amount of points, no longer needing to go level by level as before.
Thus, Lin Feng munched on an Evolutionary Meat Pie while updating all five sets of batteries.
After consuming fifteen Life Value points, all batteries were upgraded to Level 9:
"High-Quality Lead-Acid Battery Level 9, White Quality"
"Basic Attributes: Can store 3.0 kWh of electricity; Remaining lifespan one thousand hours; Durability 10/10; Can consume five Life Value points for an upgrade"
"Note: Continuous use over a long time will wear down battery durability, reducing lifespan; continuous operation for one hundred hours will reduce durability by one point"
