Chapter 511 - 320: Making the Second S-Class Potion

Baili Xueyuan glared at Master Ma, her teeth clenched, then suddenly broke into a smile. "Of course, I know you. But why are *you* in Red Fruit City, too?"

Baili Xueyuan stared straight at Master Ma, putting heavy emphasis on the word "too."

Master Ma let out a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

’It’s not official business!’

Baili Xueyuan was pretending not to have recognized him, giving him a way to save face.

After a moment of thought, Master Ma said, "I heard the Divine Iron Bull at Red Fruit City’s No. 1 Prosthetic Clinic is quite famous, and that they even offer custom modifications. I came specifically to check it out."

’Divine Iron Bull?’

Hearing those three words, Baili Xueyuan was clearly taken aback for a moment.

Her gaze shifted down to look at Master Ma, then over to Lin Qi, and she fell silent for a moment.

Seeing this, Lin Qi couldn’t help but feel embarrassed for Master Ma.

Lin Qi had no desire to watch this drama unfold. He said to Master Ma, "Uncle, since you two know each other, you can chat. Later, when your companion is out of surgery, you can just settle the bill with me."

With that, Lin Qi put on an unconcerned expression and turned to walk up to the second floor.

Baili Xueyuan watched Lin Qi’s retreating back and considered something for a moment.

’Lin Qi probably has no connection to that Dead Ghost’s Mercenary Corps. Otherwise, he never would have let that Dead Ghost come here. This must be a coincidence.’

Using this reverse logic, Baili Xueyuan actually cleared Lin Qi of suspicion in her own mind.

Then, Baili Xueyuan’s gaze returned to Master Ma.

Her tone laced with sarcasm and coldness, she continued, "A companion? Is that companion of yours also here to get a Divine Iron Bull installed?"

Master Ma, shameless, paid no mind to whether King Arthur would have an issue with it. He said, "We’re just trying it out. After all, it’s the most popular Prosthetic Body on the market right now."

"Heh heh..."

Baili Xueyuan let out a cold laugh.

Hearing the two of them talking behind him, Lin Qi shook his head slightly and walked back into his room.

After all that, it was already past four in the morning. The cooldown for the [Door] was almost over.

Lin Qi hadn’t forgotten his deal with King Arthur, Master Ma, and Capitalist. After he went to the Doomsday World today, he would need to spend time making the Potions.

He glanced at the temporary chat for the Highest-Level Mercenary Corps; there were no new messages for now.

’King Arthur and Master Ma will need Capitalist’s help to escape Red Fruit City safely. There probably won’t be any new messages until morning.’

After just a single glance, Lin Qi lay back down on his bed, quietly waiting for time to pass.

On March 32, 2089, at 4:40 a.m., the instant the [Door]’s cooldown finished, Lin Qi took the initiative and traveled to the Doomsday World.

...

At the Mo University Camp’s Club Activity Building, on the 6th floor, Lin Qi didn’t rush into Meditation. Instead, he first went out to find Wang Ziru.

He had Wang Ziru fetch a batch of Potions from the inventory.

They were L-Class and A-Class Potions, all Physical Enhancement Type, four sets of each.

That was a total of eight sets of Potions, a grand total of ninety-six vials.

’Good thing I switched to a real Prosthetic Body. If I still had my old Exoskeleton, I’m afraid it wouldn’t have had enough capacity to store this many Potions.’

Lin Qi opened all the weapon compartments in his arms, moved the Prosthetic Body’s built-in weapons aside, and stuffed the Potions inside.

These Potions were his bargaining chips for the trade with Capitalist.

In addition to this batch of Potions, to make the trade value equal, Lin Qi still owed Capitalist one set of S-Class Potions.

Production would take about twelve days.

This meant that in twelve days, Lin Qi would obtain his first Tier Four Extraordinary Item.

For a Wizard Professional, the significance of this was extraordinary.

Tier Four was a threshold. Reaching Tier Four granted one a certain degree of influence and a higher probability of continuing to acquire Tier Four Extraordinary Items.

In the Cyber World, the Extraordinary paths of too many Wizards had come to an end because of this threshold.

Only after stowing the Potions safely did Lin Qi finally begin to Meditate.

’I just broke through to the Second Stage of Tier Three not long ago. It should take about another week for my Spiritual Power to be full again. For today, I’ll focus on the Potion business. Tomorrow, I might need to make a trip to Hongshan Camp and scheme for a few Tier Three Extraordinary Items.’

While Meditating, Lin Qi’s attention was focused on the last two Tier Three Extraordinary Items in the conference room.

One was from the Beining District—the first Tier Three Extraordinary Item Lin Qi had obtained. Its Ability seemed to be related to Charm.

But having analyzed two Tier Three Extraordinary Items before, Lin Qi knew that the power of Tier Three could not be judged by its surface-level appearance.

Perhaps there was no such thing as a truly weak Tier Three power.

The other Extraordinary Item was a two-in-one combination of that Dragon Country Medal and its certificate. The two were a single entity, and its Level was also Tier Three.

’I can’t use this item for analysis yet. I still need it to help me create S-Class Potions.’

’The risk of creating S-Class Potions in the Doomsday World is too high. Without this item, I’d have to figure out a way to erase the Blood Moon Will myself.’

Lin Qi valued this item greatly. Its very existence was worth more than a Tier Three Extraordinary Item itself.

However...

’But I have a better understanding now of the true nature of a Wizard’s analysis of Extraordinary Items. The so-called ’analysis’ is actually a ’fusion’.’

’If I were to analyze this Extraordinary Item, would its original function really disappear?’

This was a recent speculation of Lin Qi’s, but he had no way to verify it for now. After all, this was the only Extraordinary Item he possessed whose function he already knew.
