Chapter 408 - 272: King Arthur’s Help
Lin Qi first placed the Crimson Crystal Stone he had removed from Brother Green Hair’s head onto a tray, preparing to take it to the Doomsday World later.
It wasn’t safe to leave something like this anywhere; it could easily expose him.
The only truly safe place for it was the Doomsday World.
Carrying the tray, Lin Qi first went to his workshop next door.
He placed the Crimson Crystal Stone on the workbench, then returned and injected Brother Green Hair with a drug to reverse the anesthesia.
Brother Green Hair slowly came to.
The drug worked wonderfully. The effects of the anesthetic faded quickly, and Brother Green Hair felt a slight ache in his head.
But despite the pain, Brother Green Hair could clearly feel that his "appetite" had completely vanished.
"Chairman Lin, am I... cured?"
Brother Green Hair was in disbelief.
This was cyber psychosis!
And a special type, different from traditional cyber psychosis at that.
And Lin Qi had actually cured it?
A complete cure, no less?
He was a miracle worker!
Brother Green Hair’s gratitude toward Lin Qi was immense.
"It might not be a complete cure. We still need to observe you for a long time."
This wasn’t Lin Qi being humble; he simply didn’t yet understand the principles behind this method.
From what Lin Qi had observed so far, Brother Green Hair had been invaded by Exotic Spiritual Particles, which was causing his brain to show signs of forming a Crimson Crystal Stone.
But he wasn’t sure how the Exotic Spiritual Particles had entered Brother Green Hair’s head.
If they had evolved from normal Spiritual Particles, then there was still a high chance of relapse.
To figure it out, he had to unmask the true culprit and confirm their methods.
The stone that had just been lifted from Brother Green Hair’s heart was now hanging precariously again.
Lin Qi continued, "The source of the illness was a specific lesion in your brain. Although I’ve removed it, I suspect it was man-made. Since you need to be observed for a while anyway, I hope you can avoid public appearances for now and stay here at the clinic."
"I’ll handle things for you at the company."
Lin Qi believed the culprit was most likely Ning Hao, the Ninghang Technology representative at United Pharmaceutical—the one who carried the sub-sample.
According to Lin Qi’s current plan, it was best for Brother Green Hair not to appear before Ning Hao.
Brother Green Hair’s expression changed slightly.
’Man-made?’
’Who would target a mere company security guard like him?’
But Lin Qi wouldn’t lie to him. Besides, Lin Qi was the one who had personally saved him.
Brother Green Hair agreed to Lin Qi’s request. "Chairman Lin, I believe you!"
Lin Qi nodded and made detailed arrangements for Brother Green Hair.
Starting today, Brother Green Hair would stay at the Prosthetic Clinic temporarily, assisting Doctor Lin.
The level of secrecy wasn’t high, and it wouldn’t be hard for a determined person to investigate.
But this was Red Fruit City, and the Liu Clan were the ones who truly controlled the flow of information in the city.
As an outsider, it would be difficult for Ning Hao to get a complete picture. As long as Brother Green Hair didn’t show his face, it wouldn’t be easy for him to find him.
He would probably just assume Brother Green Hair had been admitted to one of the Liu Clan’s medical facilities.
After explaining everything to Brother Green Hair, Lin Qi left the operating room to find his father and fill him in.
He briefly explained Brother Green Hair’s situation.
Doctor Lin was worried. "From what you’re saying, this involves the power plays between large corporations. Getting mixed up in it is too risky."
Doctor Lin even considered whether he should contact Lin Xin immediately.
Lin Qi’s attitude was resolute. "Dad, don’t forget that I’m a director at United Pharmaceutical now, and it won’t be long before I become an S-Class Pharmaceutical Researcher. I can’t avoid this kind of thing."
"I’ll discuss it carefully with Liu Xuan. The Liu Clan won’t just stand by and do nothing."
Lin Qi had to get involved in this matter.
After all, it might involve a crisis that could sweep across the entire Cyber World.
If the moon of the Cyber World were to suddenly open its eyes, everyone would be dragged into it, Lin Qi included.
More importantly, Lin Qi was a Wizard Professional.
Anyone else might have a reason to run, but a Wizard Professional had to face it head-on.
The connection between Wizards and the Blood Moon was too deep.
Doctor Lin sighed and nodded. "Alright. But you must be careful. If you really get into a bind you can’t get out of, contact your sister. She’ll figure something out."
Lin Qi didn’t disagree with his father’s advice.
Lin Xin’s background was indeed formidable now. She was being trained as a successor by a top figure in the Assassin Alliance, and the resources she could command were far greater than Lin Qi imagined.
After speaking with Doctor Lin, Lin Qi returned to his workshop.
He took out the wristband from within his prosthetic arm and began contacting King Arthur.
Lin Qi had some theories he needed King Arthur to help verify.
[Have you received the Potion? How is it?]
He didn’t jump straight to his questions, instead using the enhanced A-Class Potion as a starting point.
King Arthur’s response was quick. After all, it was still early, just past midnight.
[Received. Dongfang Logistics is truly something else. I suspect a Tier Four Extraordinary delivered it. They brought it right to the underground pipes.]
Dongfang Logistics’s efficiency was as high as ever.
King Arthur’s efficiency was also impressive. She had already taken the enhanced A-Class Potion that Lin Qi had sent.
[I’ve already taken the Potion and was just about to give you my feedback. From my judgment, this Potion’s effect on enhancing a Tier Four Extraordinary’s physical constitution is in no way inferior to an S-Class Potion. However, it lacks the most crucial component of an S-Class Potion: it cannot enhance a Tier Four Extraordinary’s Extraordinary Power.]
[But looking at its overall effects, this Potion is highly valuable. It’s especially useful for Prosthetic Implanters who wield Extraordinary Power, as it can rapidly increase an Implanter’s Prosthetic Body capacity.]
