Dual Worlds: I Have a Doomsday World

「Half an hour later, at the Hongshan Camp.」

When Ding Yang learned that someone from Mo University Camp had arrived—and that it was Lin Qi himself—he immediately went to the camp entrance to greet him personally.

"Lin Qi, have you come to Hongshan Camp today on important business?"

Ding Yang’s attitude was as warm as ever, and he hadn’t changed how he addressed Lin Qi.

Lin Qi nodded. "That’s right. Mo University Camp has been facing some resource bottlenecks lately."

Bottlenecks?

Hearing this, Ding Yang knew not to take it lightly and hurriedly said, "Lin Qi, let’s go inside the camp and sit down to talk."

Ding Yang saw Wang Ziru standing beside Lin Qi, and the briefcase Wang Ziru was carrying, and understood that they were about to discuss official business.

He quickly led Lin Qi and Wang Ziru into the Hongshan Camp’s conference room.

Hongshan Camp had been converted from a station, so it had a full suite of functional rooms. The command room was usually set up in the middle of an open area only for the sake of better management and intimidating the survivors.

Now that he was discussing important matters with Lin Qi, Ding Yang would naturally not be remiss.

Inside the conference room, the lights were bright, and even the air conditioning was running.

This was largely thanks to Mo University Camp; their previous deal had included power support.

Under Wang Ziru’s direction, technicians from both Mo University Camp and Hongshan Camp had worked together. Mo University Camp’s reactor power had been integrated into the grid, restoring transmission to parts of the network.

It could be said that Hongshan Camp’s current high quality of life was inextricably linked to the support from Mo University Camp.

After both parties were seated, Lin Qi got straight to the point. "Director Ding, I’ve come to Hongshan Camp this time mainly for two types of resources. Mo University Camp’s need is urgent."

Ding Yang immediately thumped his chest and replied, "Lin Qi, just say the word. As long as it’s within my Ability, I will fully support Mo University Camp. What Mo University Camp has done to help us at Hongshan Camp, and even its contributions to the Dragon Country... I, Ding Yang, will never forget it."

Ding Yang wasn’t exaggerating. If Lin Qi made a request, not only would Hongshan Camp mobilize immediately, but even Headquarters would respond.

Lin Qi had previously wiped out a group of Blood Moon Envoys, which had caused a significant shift in attitude at Headquarters.

In any case, Ding Yang had heard that Headquarters had already held several consecutive meetings. The main topic was whether to fully support Mo University Camp and shift the strategic focus established at the beginning of the apocalypse.

"Right now, Mo University Camp urgently needs Tier Three Extraordinary Items and Tier Four Extraordinary Items. We also need a large supply of Extraordinary Materials—with an emphasis on variety, not just quantity."

"Of course, I don’t expect to get these things for free. Mo University Camp is willing to provide a batch of Potions, Prosthetic Bodies, and even the formulas for some M-Class and L-Class Potions."

"In addition, Mo University Camp is willing to send personnel to help the major camps in the Modu Region completely restore their energy supply by building temporary nuclear reactors."

Lin Qi briefly outlined the direction of the deal, leaving the specific details for Wang Ziru and Ding Yang to negotiate.

In short, Lin Qi’s needs were very clear: Extraordinary Items and Extraordinary Materials!

Everything had to make way for the Level promotion of his Extraordinary Profession.

The recent events in the Cyber World had left Lin Qi feeling increasingly insecure.

The appearance of the sole Bearer, the probing from Baili Xueyuan, Guang Ling’s abnormality...

Tier Three power was no longer enough.

To that end, Lin Qi was willing to give up some of the so-called "long-term" benefits in the Doomsday World.

’So what if I have to trade technology for it?’

Lin Qi refused to believe that Headquarters didn’t possess a single Tier Four Extraordinary Item!

It was just a matter of Headquarters not trusting him enough, and the price he was offering not yet being high enough.

Ding Yang and Wang Ziru discussed for a long time before Ding Yang finally turned to Lin Qi. "Lin Qi, the Extraordinary Materials and Tier Three Extraordinary Items aren’t a problem. As far as I know, Headquarters has a considerable number of Tier Three Extraordinary Items that they haven’t yet found a use for."

"But as for Tier Four Extraordinary Items..."

Ding Yang paused, but he still chose to trust Lin Qi and revealed the intelligence he had gathered from Headquarters. "Headquarters has only ever obtained one Tier Four Extraordinary Item. Currently, their method for dealing with Tier Four Monsters is still to use nuclear weapons."

"The power of a nuclear weapon is enough to destroy a Tier Four Monster, but the Extraordinary Item is also annihilated in the blast."

Lin Qi frowned at Ding Yang’s answer.

The supply of Tier Four Extraordinary Items in the Doomsday World was lower than Lin Qi had expected.

But the root cause wasn’t a scarcity of Tier Four Monsters, but rather humanity’s inadequate ability to fight them in the Doomsday World.

Lin Qi didn’t respond immediately, but instead began to ponder:

’What I urgently need right now are Tier Three Extraordinary Items. My final two Tier Three Abilities must grant me powerful, immediate combat strength. According to Ding Yang, it shouldn’t be difficult to obtain Tier Three Extraordinary Items from Headquarters through a trade.’

’But the Tier Four Extraordinary Items are more troublesome. Am I supposed to just sit here and stare at the treasure trove that is the Doomsday World? Am I forced to rely only on the precarious supply of Tier Four items from the Cyber World?’

Currently, Lin Qi had only locked down one Tier Four Extraordinary Item, which came from a deal with the Capitalist.

That was a stroke of luck; it would be very difficult for Lin Qi to find another.

His only hope was to "chum the waters" with a large quantity of S-Class Potions, demanding that they could only be traded for Tier Four Extraordinary Items.

But if he did that, even with Guang Ling around, Lin Qi would easily become a target.

Not to mention, a rift had already formed between Guang Ling and the members of the Mercenary Corps; the conflict simply hadn’t erupted yet.
