Dual Worlds: I Have a Doomsday World

After carefully reviewing what had happened, Lin Qi felt he hadn’t said anything wrong.

’This isn’t my fault!’

’Liu Xuan’s cyber psychosis must be acting up again.’

’When I reach Tier Four, I’ll definitely cure her!’

With this thought in mind, Lin Qi returned to his antique flying vehicle.

Piloting the old relic, Lin Qi set off for the Prosthetic Clinic.

...

About two minutes away from the Prosthetic Clinic, Lin Qi’s Intelligent Brain suddenly notified him that he had received an email.

A faint smile touched his lips, only to vanish the moment he saw the sender was Guang Ling.

He opened Guang Ling’s email:

[The Tier Four Extraordinary Item from the Capitalist, sent via Dongfang Logistics, has been delivered. She used a fully sealed shielding container. The unlock key is in this email’s attachment. You can use this container to ship the S-Class Potions later.]

’A Tier Four Extraordinary Item!’

Lin Qi remembered. The Capitalist had said she would pay him his fee first after receiving the initial batch of Potions.

’I didn’t expect the Capitalist to move so fast.’

Even though Lin Qi hadn’t handed over a single S-Class Potion yet, she wasn’t worried he would run off with the goods.

’Looks like my past actions have built me a good reputation among the members of the Mercenary Corps,’ he thought.

After all, who was the Capitalist?

She was a person who only cared about profit.

If Lin Qi hadn’t worked so hard to build his reputation, she never would have sent him this Tier Four Extraordinary Item before receiving the S-Class Potions.

He unconsciously sped up, and the two-minute journey took him only one.

The old relic’s performance wasn’t half-bad after all.

The first thing Lin Qi did was return to his room, where he saw a metal container sitting on his bed.

Activating his Spiritual Power, Lin Qi observed it with his Spiritual Vision.

It was a box that could block technological scans while also shielding against the perception Abilities of certain special Extraordinary Professionals.

Unless one possessed X-ray Vision, it was impossible to tell what was inside.

’It still can’t block my Spiritual Vision. The technology in this container is limited.’

Lin Qi could not only see the Extraordinary Item itself clearly but also the container’s construction.

It was a layered container.

The container’s outermost layer was an incredibly sturdy S-Class alloy; forcibly breaching it would require S-Class tools at a minimum.

But what truly made the container effective was likely the special metal in its interstitial layer.

’This is an Extraordinary Material, and it can somehow unidirectionally block Spiritual Particles? I wonder how they made it.’

𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Lin Qi’s expression was a little odd.

The Cyber World didn’t even have the concept of Spiritual Particles, yet it had produced an Extraordinary Material with this property.

But materials science always involved a certain element of luck.

Especially when it came to Extraordinary Materials.

Before a material was created, its properties could only be predicted in a general sense, not with any real precision.

Even after it was made, no one could discern all of this Extraordinary Material’s properties without the same kind of Spiritual Vision Lin Qi possessed.

Still, the materials science researchers in the Cyber World weren’t incompetent; they had at least figured out this special application as a shielding container.

His gaze continued to focus inward.

The concentration of Spiritual Particles inside the container had already far surpassed that of the outside world.

This included Spiritual Particles clinging to the Tier Four Extraordinary Item itself, as well as free-floating Spiritual Particles from the outside that had become trapped during transit.

He estimated that the Spiritual Particle concentration inside the container had already reached more than three times that of the Cyber World.

Lin Qi’s mind immediately jumped to the enhanced version of his Potions.

’Maybe I really can create the enhanced Potions in the Cyber World!’

’If I had a large quantity of this material, I could even create a high-concentration Spiritual Particle environment in the Cyber World to help other Extraordinary Professionals advance quickly.’

’This material is incredibly useful! It’s a total waste to use it for these containers!’

In that instant, a thousand possibilities raced through Lin Qi’s mind.

He now valued this Extraordinary Material even more than the Tier Four Extraordinary Item it contained.

Lin Qi sat down. Instead of rushing to open the container, he continued to think:

’Has anyone in the Cyber World discovered this material’s true properties?’

’Probably not. It would take many steps to use this material to create a high-concentration Spiritual Particle environment.’

’Without the ability to directly see Spiritual Particles, it would take an astronomical number of coincidences to actually build one.’

Without a second thought, Lin Qi composed and sent an email to Guang Ling.

[I’m very interested in this shielding container. Could you find out who manufactures it?]

Lin Qi now had a very simple goal.

He had to get his hands on this Extraordinary Material and its manufacturing method.

’This stuff is incredibly useful!’

Whether it was used to conceal the production of his so-called "new Potions" or to create a high-concentration Spiritual Particle environment, it could create value comparable to a mega-corporation, or even an Intercontinental Giant Corporation.

Guang Ling replied quickly. It was clear that even they didn’t know the material’s true value.

[The shielding containers are produced by a small company in the European Administrative Region. While they’re useful, sales have always been low due to the high price. There are already thousands of them on the market.]

’Good news!’

Lin Qi had expected acquiring this Extraordinary Material to be difficult; he never imagined it was produced by a small company.

But it made sense. Its uses were relatively limited, primarily for smuggling high-value goods.

But how many high-value goods like S-Class Potions and Tier Four Extraordinary Items were there, really?

The containers already in circulation were enough to satisfy the demands of Mercenaries, and they could be sold second-hand, third-hand, and so on.

The one in front of him had probably passed through hundreds of hands already.

Who would bother commissioning new ones?

Lin Qi sent another email to Guang Ling:

[I want detailed information on this company.]

Guang Ling didn’t beat around the bush and quoted him a price.

One hundred thousand Credit Points, a fair price for all!

The information was practically an open secret, but Guang Ling still had to charge for their services.

Lin Qi naturally agreed, and before long, he received the intel from Guang Ling.

’A company in the European Administrative Region... Looks like I’ll need King Arthur’s help. I wonder if he’s back in Europe yet. Perfect time to get in touch.’

With that thought, Lin Qi picked up the shielding container and headed for the basement.

He had only taken a few steps when he received another email.

This time, the sender wasn’t Guang Ling, but Liu Xuan.

[The S-Class Prosthetic Body has been delivered to the Prosthetic Clinic’s entrance. Remember to sign for it.]

The words were a bit cold, not nearly as warm as during their long email exchange the day before.

Lin Qi didn’t think too much of it.

’Looks like the cyber psychosis is still in effect,’ he thought.

In his experience, Liu Xuan’s condition would improve as long as he spent a little more time with her.

He could use some time tomorrow to help her feel better.

Lin Qi sent an email:

[Okay, got it!]

The email was remarkably brief.

So efficient!

Lin Qi carried the shielding container down to the first floor, opened the door, and had the Liu Clan’s transport crew help move the Prosthetic Body to the basement.

After everyone had gone, Lin Qi closed the basement door.

’Time to contact King Arthur!’

...

Liu Xuan had since moved back home. Thanks to a recent change in the Successor Bill, Liu Li no longer needed to stay in hiding.

The two sisters were now on the same bed.

Liu Li asked, "Sis, has he not replied to your email?"

"No. He’s probably busy with those Prosthetics. His workshop blocks network signals."

Although Liu Xuan was unhappy, she still made an excuse for Lin Qi.

Liu Li frowned. "Is that an excuse? That’s no excuse! If a man wants to reply to your email, he’ll reply in a second, even if it’s the end of the world!"

Liu Xuan blinked. "But how can he reply without a network signal?"

Liu Li declared righteously, "Couldn’t he just run a cable from his Intelligent Brain to the outside? With all that metal junk on him, is a little modification like that too much for Lin Qi?"
