I’ve search but didn’t find an answer to this.

I want to do a select option field, but the values (options) be added by a mysql query (or a JSON), so they can be dynamic (it will change along the time, with more items).

Also, is there any way to get a field to increment a value and store it on the mysql database/JSON?

1) A select fields choices can be populated from anywhere https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/dynamically-populate-a-select-fields-choices/

2) You would use a this filter and do what you need to do https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/acf-save_post/
