Chapter 355 - 244: Man-made Extraordinary Items (2)
’When did our former big sister get this strong?’
They were completely unprepared...
With that, all thoughts of rebellion were swept away.
As long as Wei Yue and Lin Qi were alive, they could not rebel, could not return to the embrace of the Blood Moon.
...
After watching this unfold, a relaxed Lin Qi returned to the Club Activity Building.
He first went to the conference room, wrote a letter on a paper bill, then folded it and set it aside.
The letter was about this specific group of Moon Worshiper.
This was a matter for Headquarters. Lin Qi needed Ding Yang to take action and compel Headquarters to conduct an internal investigation.
In theory, Headquarters had scattered the various camps to prevent Moon Worshiper and High-tier Monster from silently occupying large areas.
But now, Moon Worshiper had brazenly acquired the status of a rescue team, which was extremely detrimental to the plans of Headquarters.
After writing the letter, Lin Qi headed to the production workshop and saw Wang Ziru, his eyes bloodshot and ringed with dark circles.
Wang Ziru had just been about to take a break. He had been working around the clock for a long time. Just last night, he had spent the entire night in the conference room with Ding Yang and Wang Qiang, and his butt was getting sore...
"Have someone deliver this letter to Ding Yang. You must make sure he finds a secluded place to open it alone, by himself."
Lin Qi could trust Ding Yang, but he couldn’t fully trust the other people in Hongshan Camp.
"Understood, Boss! I’ll personally lead a team and make the trip!"
Wang Ziru could see how important this was to Lin Qi and decided to make the trip himself.
Even though he was so tired he could barely keep his eyes open...
Lin Qi nodded, patted Wang Ziru on the shoulder, and said, "The orderly operation of the Mo University Camp is largely thanks to you."
Wang Ziru instantly perked up. "It’s all in service of the students!" he declared.
Wang Ziru’s words were high-sounding, but there was nothing wrong with them on the surface.
Lin Qi nodded again, offered a few more words of encouragement to Wang Ziru, then returned to the conference room to continue his Meditation.
...
At 1:58 AM on March 24, 2089, it was as if Lin Qi of the Cyber World had merely blinked. Even with high-speed cameras watching, it would have been difficult to notice any change in him.
Returning to the Cyber World, Lin Qi immediately contacted Guang Ling through his Intelligent Brain.
Lin Qi hadn’t forgotten his plan in the Cyber World. Today, he needed to give Aishwarya a glimmer of hope, to let her know that he possessed the ability to remove the Holy Light from the Wizards’ bodies.
But this required him to go out, which naturally meant he needed Guang Ling’s help.
[I need to make a trip to the location of the Aishwarya Clan’s juniors. I need you to block the nearby networked surveillance devices.]
Since this was related to a Mercenary Corps mission, Guang Ling was obligated to provide free technical support.
[It’s already started, but you need to be quick. The scale of the servers I can control right now isn’t enough to provide long-term computing power. You only have one hour to act.]
Lin Qi was surprised to see Guang Ling’s message.
’Why is Guang Ling so short all of a sudden?’
’What happened to the omnipotent hacker?’
’How did he suddenly get so... drained?’
However, Guang Ling had already hinted about this situation before.
It seemed to be related to the Cyber Network Company, but Lin Qi didn’t know the specific details.
’Guang Ling can still organize the Mercenary Corps’s operations and is still willing to have the corps carry out missions.’
’This means either Guang Ling is only restricted and not in any real danger, or the missions the Mercenary Corps is doing now are helping to alleviate the crisis Guang Ling is facing.’
Lin Qi hadn’t forgotten that the missions the Mercenary Corps accepted had always been chosen by Guang Ling.
Although the other members of the Mercenary Corps were happy to do these missions, and were even very interested in them.
But that might also be the result of Guang Ling’s deliberate selection.
A Highest-Level Mercenary Corps could only endure if there were mutual benefits for multiple parties, not just the profits from mission bounties.
Otherwise, with the status of people like Master Ma and the Capitalist, there would be no reason for them to be messing around with the Mercenary Corps.
Although Lin Qi’s thoughts were complex, only a few seconds had passed in reality.
Lin Qi replied to Guang Ling.
[An hour is more than enough. Thanks for the help.]
Guang Ling’s reply was still instantaneous.
[This is a Mercenary Corps mission. Providing technical support is what I’m supposed to do.]
’He can still reply to messages instantly. No need to worry about Guang Ling!’
Lin Qi relaxed and quietly slipped out of his room.
He made very little noise to avoid being heard by Brother Green Hair.
Luckily, Brother Green Hair was a pure Prosthetic Implanter. If he were a Tier Three Extraordinary, even if Lin Qi could evade the surveillance equipment, it would be difficult to avoid an Extraordinary’s senses at such close range.
After leaving the room, Lin Qi moved quickly, rapidly departing the Alliance Mansion and heading toward No. 32, Core Road.
...
No. 32, Core Road. This was a property of the Aishwarya Clan.
Lin Qi didn’t get too close, stopping just at the very edge of his Spiritual Vision’s range.
Within his Spiritual Vision, Lin Qi could already see the scene underground at No. 32, Core Road.
The scene there hadn’t changed much from his last observation, except that the number of Wizards had dropped from six to five.
The unlucky bastard Lin Qi had chosen last time to detonate the Holy Light hadn’t died, but his body had suffered severe trauma.
His kidneys had ruptured, and he had also gone through a transformation into a Tentacle Monster state, which had made his injuries even more severe.
If he hadn’t been an Extraordinary Professional, he probably would have died on the spot.
Now, he had been secretly sent by Aishwarya to another clan’s private doctor for healing.
Besides that one, there were still five Wizards here, each occupying a Meditation Room and conducting routine Meditation Cultivation.
The concentration of Spiritual Particles in the Cyber World was limited, so even if they were in Meditation twenty-four hours a day, they wouldn’t reach the point of Spiritual Power saturation.
However, at this moment, they were somewhat distracted.
They knew what had happened to the unlucky one, and they were well aware that a similar mechanism existed within their own bodies.
’The Europeans really screwed us over! This was their backup plan to get rid of us after we’d served our purpose!’
Distracted, their Meditation efficiency was extremely low.
But out of obedience to Aishwarya’s orders, they maintained their Meditation.
This time, Lin Qi wasn’t here to pick an unlucky bastard, but to pick a Lucky One.
This Lucky One would now be saved by Lin Qi, who would help remove the Holy Light hidden in his body, concentrated in his kidneys, in order to give Aishwarya that glimmer of hope.
Soon, Lin Qi locked onto the Lucky One.
The Lucky One’s Meditation Room was right across the hall from the unlucky one’s.
The reason he was chosen by Lin Qi was simple.
He was the one with the lowest Extraordinary Level. It would be easiest for Lin Qi to act on him.
With a thought, Lin Qi activated Blood Manipulation.
The first step was to make the Lucky One lose consciousness.
Lin Qi didn’t plan on letting him be awake to witness the rescue process.
In a way, Lin Qi’s method for removing the Holy Light was simple and crude.
Let alone an Extraordinary, even an ordinary Prosthetic Doctor could easily handle it if they knew the principle.
The Holy Light’s Exotic Spiritual Particles were concentrated in the kidneys. As long as you cut out the kidney and let him grow a new one, the hidden danger would naturally be eliminated.
The logic was simple; you could even figure it out from the location of the previous unlucky bastard’s injuries.
But Aishwarya cherished her life dearly; she didn’t dare to gamble.
...
Lin Qi’s operation was swift. After knocking the Lucky One unconscious, he used blood as a surgical scalpel for a precise incision.
Leaving a sufficient margin, he removed the kidney along with some surrounding human tissue.
Then, he activated Rapid Growth and restored the Lucky One to his original state.
Finally, he encased the removed kidney, sent it into the Meditation Room’s bathroom, and into the sewer pipe.
’I can’t let Aishwarya figure out my methods. Besides, I can also study this thing. It feels like an excellent weapon to use against fellow Wizards.’
Lin Qi was preparing to retrieve it for his own future use.
However, just as Lin Qi was maneuvering it into the sewer, a subtle change occurred in the kidney and its attached tissue.
Because it wasn’t ruptured, the Exotic Spiritual Particles didn’t erupt.
But as it was detached from a living body, the Exotic Spiritual Particles actually began to fuse with it.
Lin Qi was a little surprised, but he didn’t stop.
He calculated Guang Ling’s remaining time as he headed back to the Alliance Mansion, all while transporting the kidney through the sewers.
Shortly after he returned to the Alliance Mansion, the transformation was complete.
’This is... an Extraordinary Item?’
Lin Qi had originally thought this thing would become an Extraordinary Material, but he never expected the final product of the transformation to be much more advanced than an Extraordinary Material.
It had directly become an Extraordinary Item!
The Level wasn’t high; it was only a Tier One Extraordinary Item.
But compared to the Extraordinary Item itself, its significance was far greater.
’It’s possible to artificially create Extraordinary Items!’
’Spiritual Particles are the key factor, but what exactly is the core difference between Extraordinary Items and Extraordinary Materials?’
