Dual Worlds: I Have a Doomsday World

Walking into the basement, several A-Class Alloy Armor doors slowly opened before Lin Qi.

What greeted his eyes were dozens of unreleased products from the cutting-edge labs of Liu’s Heavy Industries.

These products were either hung on the walls or arranged inside glass display cases.

Directly beneath each product, an offline display screen listed its function and class.

[S-Class Prototype Firearm S-G-029 - Widowmaker: An Electromagnetic Kinetic Energy Sniper Rifle compatible with Hard-Core Armor-Piercing Ammunition, High-Temperature Melting Spray Ammunition...]

[S-Class Prototype Powerful Prosthetic Enhancement - S-M-021 - Lone Brave: Can be used as an expansion for A-Class Prosthetic Bodies to enhance ejection and burst-type prosthetics (Note: Use will cause permanent damage to the A-Class Prosthetic Body)]

[S-Class Prototype Dual-Mode Mini Cruise Missile - Little Flying Stick 04: A dual-shot design that uses an A-Class Prosthetic Body as a launch platform. Features dual-mode functionality: Intelligent Recognition and Tracking / Direct link with Liu’s A-3 Generation and Above Neural Operating System.]

Looking at the wall full of weapons, Lin Qi felt as if they were all tailor-made for him.

Almost all of them were expansions for A-Class Implanters, capable of giving an A-Class Implanter firepower and combat strength that approached S-Class.

Better yet, due to the nature of these expansions, they placed almost no strain on the user’s prosthetic capacity. Lin Qi could use them without worry.

His gaze swept past the prototype weapons, landing on the center of the room.

Two mannequins stood there, each fitted with a different set of full-body prosthetic implants.

[Liu’s A-Type Suit-style Prosthetic Body: Includes Subcutaneous Armor, Metal Muscles, Attached Skeleton, Whole Body Arm Components, Whole Leg Components, Spinal Connector, 5th Generation Prototype Operating System, Level 7 Personal Safety Network Protection...]

[Liu’s S-A Type Suit-style Prosthetic Body (S-Class Capacity: 25%): Includes Subcutaneous Armor...]

Two sets of Prosthetic Bodies, each corresponding to a different class.

The second set, in particular, was nearly comparable to the Jingang model Lin Qi had seen in Alliance City.

With an S-Class capacity under 30%, the user wouldn’t be classified as an S-Class Implanter and wouldn’t require monitoring. The configuration was almost identical to Jingang’s own Prosthetic Body.

’What a shame. My talent for prosthetic implantation is actually pretty average. My Spiritual Power has reached Tier Three and my Physical Strength is at Tier Two, but even a full A-Class Prosthetic Body set puts considerable strain on me.’

Lin Qi looked at the Half-Step S-Class Prosthetic Body with deep regret. If he could equip that set, it would give him an enormous boost in combat power.

Unfortunately, his body’s tolerance for prosthetics wasn’t high enough, and Lin Qi had no desire to give himself cyber psychosis.

In the end, Lin Qi’s gaze fell upon the [Liu’s A-Type Suit-style Prosthetic Body]. The components of this suit-style body shared data with each other, which reduced the strain on the user’s nervous system while increasing their combat effectiveness.

If he paired this suit with the pile of experimental expansions from the lab, Lin Qi could take on at least three A-Class Implanters of Brother Green Hair’s caliber, relying on his prosthetics alone.

Products designed as a complete system provided a more direct boost to combat power.

Aside from being expensive, products like these had no other drawbacks.

Of course, its expense wasn’t a flaw in the Prosthetic Body, but rather a flaw in the Implanter.

’The total value of all this must be over fifty million Credit Points. That’s almost enough to outfit half an S-Class Implanter.’

Lin Qi estimated the value of the equipment. Even after excluding the most expensive item—the [Liu’s S-A Type Suit-style Prosthetic Body]—the total was staggering. With all the prototype lab expansions included, the value could only be higher, not lower.

Lin Qi didn’t stand on ceremony with Liu Xuan. After all, what he was doing would benefit the Liu Clan.

Lin Qi took the equipment with a clear conscience.

Lin Qi found a transport case in the corner and began to pack.

The A-Class suit-style Prosthetic Body? Took it.

The Powerful Prosthetic Enhancement? Took it.

The Widowmaker? Took it.

The Little Flying Stick? Took it.

He took everything he could use.

Especially the weapons.

He might not need them in the Cyber World, but in the Doomsday World, this gear would be invaluable.

Originally, Lin Qi had only planned to let the Moon Worshippers experience what thirty million Credit Points’ worth of firepower felt like.

But now, what awaited those Moon Worshippers was the terror of cutting-edge experimental products from Liu’s Heavy Industries!

Lin Qi left the basement, carrying the transport case.

He didn’t have time to install everything now. Lin Qi planned to do it tonight after returning to the Prosthetic Clinic.

He checked the time. There was still a while before his shift started.

Lin Qi first took the transport case back to his room.

Lying on his bed, Lin Qi thought for a moment, then accessed his Intelligent Brain and began to compose an email.

Just as he had told Liu Xuan, it would be extremely unwise to clash head-on with a Tier Four Extraordinary—let alone the faction behind them—using only his own strength.

He had to get the right people involved. That was the only way to minimize the pressure on himself.

[The old man and I encountered a strange case at the Prosthetic Clinic. He detected non-standard indicators of cyber psychosis in the patient. Not only is it difficult to diagnose, but the patient’s symptoms are also very odd. According to his self-report, he’s developed an urge to consume his own kind...]

[If it’s not too much trouble, could you help me look into related cases? The patient is one of the company’s security guards, and something of a friend.]

Lin Qi didn’t rush to drag the Eastern Alliance into this. Instead, he took a gradual approach.

First, he would ask Lin Xin to help investigate this new type of cyber psychosis. Then, once the results of the Liu Clan’s internal investigation were available, he would pass more information along to her.

Dumping all the information on them at once would easily arouse the Eastern Alliance’s suspicion.
