Chapter 400 - 267: Making an S-Class Potion in the Apocalypse
Lin Qi respected Wang Qiang’s decision and understood his mindset.
The Doomsday World was different from the Cyber World. Here, before the apocalypse erupted, politics hadn’t been decentralized. The concept of the nation was deeply ingrained in people’s hearts.
Wang Qiang had grown up in this environment, and his devotion to his home and country even surpassed his own personal gains or losses.
If he put himself in Wang Qiang’s shoes, back before he had crossed over from the Cyber World, Lin Qi might have made a similar decision.
Now, Lin Qi could only respect and understand it, but he wouldn’t make such a choice himself.
But it was precisely because of this devotion that Lin Qi was willing to help him to a certain extent.
"Your current condition is actually very similar to excessive Prosthetic Body implantation. Your nervous system and cerebral cortex are being severely eroded by an external source."
"The pain is just one manifestation of this erosion."
Lin Qi explained his understanding to Wang Qiang.
In Lin Qi’s view, the Extraordinary Item that Wang Qiang had implanted could, with a few simple modifications, even be considered an S-Class Immortal Prosthetic Body from the Cyber World.
The erosion from electrical signals and the erosion from Spiritual Particles were, in essence, solved in the same way.
Suppressing abnormal signals, repairing damaged nerves, slowing down abnormal changes in the brain...
This was the principle behind a Suppressor.
"Coincidentally, when I was developing Prosthetic Bodies at the Mo University Camp, I considered the possibility of excessive implantation and designed a targeted Suppressor."
"I can implant an A-Class Suppressor for you. It will alleviate at least ninety percent of your nerve pain and suppress the possibility of a psychotic break."
"Of course, it’s your body, your choice. If you don’t trust me, you can refuse."
Lin Qi took out the A-Class Suppressor and placed it in front of Wang Qiang.
Wang Qiang was stunned. He never expected things to develop this way.
An A-Class Suppressor?
He recalled the intelligence Headquarters had received.
The Mo University Camp’s technological weapons were graded M, L, and A, with different grades corresponding to different Awakening Levels.
A-Class corresponded to Tier Three!
’Lin Qi has already created technology comparable to Tier Three?’
HISS!
’What kind of genius is this?’
Wang Qiang thought for less than two seconds before giving his answer: "I’m willing!"
After stating his willingness, Wang Qiang even showed a strange smile and praised, "As expected of you, Lin Qi. So forward-thinking, and to have created a product comparable to Tier Three in such a short time..."
Wang Qiang finally understood why Ding Yang was so optimistic about Lin Qi, even willing to vouch for the Mo University Camp at Headquarters.
With such a powerful ally by their side, who wouldn’t do everything to support them?
The Mo University Camp, because of Lin Qi’s existence, had too much potential.
Perhaps in the future, the Mo University Camp’s contribution to the survivors of the apocalypse would even surpass that of Headquarters.
This was a stroke of luck for the human race.
Faced with the praise, Lin Qi’s expression didn’t change. He said to Wang Qiang, "Since you’ve made your decision, go lie down on the operating table."
"I’ll inject you with anesthetic directly. We’ll skip things like disinfection. A Tier Three Extraordinary’s resistance is strong enough. Besides, it saves the Mo University Camp some supplies."
Lin Qi placed the A-Class Suppressor on a metal tray, then turned to prepare the surgical tools.
The infirmary was now fully equipped with instruments for Prosthetic Body surgery, all of which had been personally crafted by the workhorses in the production workshop.
Without hesitation, Wang Qiang decisively got up, walked to the operating table, and lay down steadily.
A glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.
He had thought that while gaining power, he would have to endure endless suffering until the day of his sacrifice.
Who would have thought there would be a light at the end of the tunnel?
Wang Qiang was lying perfectly still when he suddenly heard Lin Qi seemingly start talking to someone else.
"Professor Wang, what are you all...?"
"It’s rare for you to perform surgery yourself, Lin Qi. The students would like to observe."
"I see. Then come on in."
"One moment, Lin Qi. We’ll have them go through a simple disinfection first."
"No need for disinfection. He’s a Tier Three Extraordinary. Bacteria haven’t evolved to that point yet."
"Well, that’s convenient."
Along with the sounds of Lin Qi conversing with the others...
Wang Qiang suddenly turned his head to look, and a whole crowd of people swarmed in.
They all had one thing in common: every one of them was wearing a white lab coat.
It was the professors and medical students from the Mo University Camp’s infirmary.
Wang Qiang’s pain-tormented brain suddenly felt dizzy.
’Is this really necessary?’
’Getting surgery has to be a public spectacle?’
Fortunately, Wang Qiang possessed the outstanding discipline of a Warrior. Although he was embarrassed, not a hint of it showed on his face.
He closed his eyes and pretended they didn’t exist.
However...
As Lin Qi began to work, Wang Qiang heard all sorts of voices, including female ones.
"As expected of a soldier boy. Those abs are way better than the ones on those hastily-trained field agents in the camp."
"An eight-pack! What great muscle Talent."
Although the Mo University Camp was full of potential, it was ultimately composed mostly of young people.
A large portion of them weren’t even twenty years old.
Forced by the apocalypse, these young people, who had yet to leave the ivory tower of academia, had to shoulder the heavy responsibility of fighting for the continuation of human civilization.
In such a high-pressure environment, occasionally cracking a small joke and expressing some primal desires was also a way to relax.
Although Wang Qiang was a battle-hardened veteran, hearing the voices of these young female university students still made him blush involuntarily.
But in the next second, Lin Qi had already injected Wang Qiang with the anesthetic.
A dose measured for a Tier Three Extraordinary!
Amidst the intense neural pain, Wang Qiang didn’t even feel the needle prick before his vision went black and his brain temporarily shut down.
