"Remember, they’re ordinary survivors. I don’t want any rumors spreading in the camp."

Lin Qi didn’t tell Wang Ziru the truth. The Moon Worshiper issue was extremely sensitive for the authorities, and Lin Qi didn’t want word of it to spread too far.

Wang Ziru nodded solemnly. "Understood."

Wang Ziru had a vague idea of what was going on.

’That girl, Wei Yue, she must be—she must be the boss’s mistress!’

’And the other six? They must be a smokescreen to cover for him.’

Lin Qi wasn’t going to publicly reveal their identities in the camp, which meant this group posed no threat to his own position.

As for Xia Chu?

Wang Ziru would definitely keep this under wraps and ensure no gossip reached her ears.

Lin Qi patted Wang Ziru on the shoulder.

Lin Qi had great faith in the master’s degree holder’s ability to get things done.

After arranging everything, Lin Qi returned to the sixth floor.

The Blood Moon Descent Objects would soon be destroyed by the various action squads from Mo University.

The only remaining threat was the Tier Three Monster in Beining District.

’According to Wei Yue’s description, that Tier Three Monster is currently dormant. It needs to accumulate power using the environment created by the Blood Moon Descent Objects and wait for the next Blood Moon to awaken and complete its final transformation.’

’Once the transformation is complete, it will become a Tier Four Monster. At the same time, a special quality will emerge in Beining District—a quality that can help a Moon Worshiper become a Blood Moon Envoy.’

’Become a Blood Moon Envoy?’

In Lin Qi’s eyes, a Blood Moon Envoy was almost equivalent to a Wizard.

Lin Qi had no need for such a quality.

As for Extraordinary Items...

Tier Four was too high; Lin Qi had no use for it at all.

The Extraordinary Items Lin Qi truly lacked were still Tier Three.

’I need to get a sufficiently powerful weapon from the Cyber World to take care of that Tier Three Monster.’

’First, to prevent the Blood Moon from suddenly awakening and creating a huge problem like a Tier Four Monster in Beining District. Second, to prevent the Dragon Country authorities from actually dropping a nuke on Beining District.’

Having decided on his next course of action, Lin Qi closed his eyes in the conference room and began to meditate.

Not long after he started his Meditation, Lin Qi noticed that the activity of the Spiritual Particles had increased slightly again.

And it increased again every few minutes.

The increments were small, but after more than ten consecutive increases, the returns from Lin Qi’s Meditation grew higher and higher.

He estimated that this must be the Mo University action squads destroying the deployed Blood Moon Descent Objects one by one.

This time, Lin Qi didn’t interrupt his Meditation.

He was already used to it. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

If things continued like this, his Meditation efficiency in the Doomsday World would sooner or later reach dozens, or even a hundred times, that of the Cyber World.

Even now, it was already over thirty times, approaching forty times.

This made the current Lin Qi have absolutely no desire to meditate in the Cyber World.

’That kind of low Meditation efficiency is just a waste of energy, a waste of time, a waste of life.’

’With that time, I’d be better off studying Pharmacy and Prosthetic Engineering, or figuring out how to quickly spend the forty-eight million I have and convert it into personal strength.’

In the end, the range of Lin Qi’s Spiritual Vision settled at four hundred twenty-four meters.

This wasn’t its limit, but rather the cooldown for the [Door] had finished, and Lin Qi was forcibly sent back to the Cyber World.

Sensing the concentration of Spiritual Particles around him, and their lifeless state, Lin Qi felt no desire to meditate whatsoever.

Taking out his bracelet, Lin Qi sent a message to King Arthur.

"I urgently need an S-Class Weapon with small-area-of-effect damage, but my channels are limited in Greenfield City. Can you get one?"

It was already past two in the morning, but King Arthur replied to Lin Qi’s message instantly.

King Arthur was currently hiding in the underground pipes, bored out of his mind.

Although he had just caused trouble at Si’s Twin Towers A Tower, the ambushed Si Li had no energy to search for King Arthur.

For Si Li, the complete annihilation of the Round Table Conference’s Tier Three Knights was the top priority.

This meant that Si Pharmaceutical had quietly arrived at the edge of a cliff.

They had seemingly suffered no losses, but they were already caught between the Asian Political Zone Big Business Alliance and the European Political Zone Big Business Alliance.

Their only room for maneuver was that the Asian Political Zone Big Business Alliance had no evidence of the Si Clan’s betrayal.

Therefore, two paths now lay before the Si Clan.

One was to go all in on their dark path, find a way to completely crush Liu’s Heavy Industries, and present it as a pledge of allegiance to the European Political Zone Big Business Alliance.

The second was to take a gamble that the Liu Clan truly had no direct evidence of the Si Clan’s betrayal.

In that case, although the strategic alliance between the Si and Liu Clans would be broken, Si Pharmaceutical could still survive by relying on its influence in the Asian Administrative Region, though the company would suffer a heavy blow.

How would Si Li choose?

King Arthur didn’t care. All King Arthur knew was that, given the current situation, the day the Greenfield City Iron Curtain opened was not far off.

King Arthur replied to Lin Qi’s message: "S-Class Weapons? What do you need something like that for at a time like this? You’re not planning to make another move against the Si Clan, are you?"

King Arthur was starting to suspect Lin Qi’s motives.

Before this, King Arthur had suspected that the Wizard’s identity had some connection to the Liu Clan, perhaps that he was their true heir or something.

It was just that some of Lin Qi’s decisions had dispelled King Arthur’s reasonable suspicions.

Lin Qi responded, "It has nothing to do with the situation in Greenfield City, but it’s for something important."

King Arthur hesitated for a moment, then sent a message: "Outside of Greenfield City, S-Class Weapons are hard to get, but not impossible if you’re willing to spend the money."

"But right now, the Iron Curtain is still up, and the only company in the city that can produce S-Class Weapons, Liu’s Heavy Industries, is in a precarious situation. It’s very difficult to get an S-Class Weapon inside Greenfield City."

Lin Qi was actually mentally prepared for this.

If he couldn’t count on King Arthur, his only other option would be to try and modify the A-Class Prosthetic Body he had on hand.

However, with his L-Class Prosthetic Engineering skills, Lin Qi couldn’t be sure if a modified A-Class Prosthetic Body would be lethal enough against a Tier Three Monster.

Fortunately, King Arthur’s words weren’t meant to reject Lin Qi.

They were a lead-up to the final five words he sent.

"Gotta pay more Credit Points!"

Would Lin Qi, holding a staggering forty-eight million Credit Points, be short on cash?

Of course not!

"No problem. How much?" Lin Qi began to inquire about the price.

King Arthur’s reply was also quick: "To be honest, I happen to have an S-Class Weapon on me. I bought it a long time ago."

"An S-Class Ultrahigh-Frequency Acoustic Resonator. Original price was 7.88 million. I’ll charge you just 10 million! For an S-Class Weapon in Greenfield City right now, I’m definitely not ripping you off with this price!"

King Arthur was making his own calculations.

’This thing... it’s expensive, and it’s S-Class, but I have no use for it at all!’

King Arthur had wanted to sell this thing for a long time.

When Lin Qi heard this, he froze for a second, then a few research papers flashed through his mind.

The papers were widely circulated among the Prosthetic Engineering researchers at Liu’s Heavy Industries. They were about a major design failure from Liu’s Heavy Industries.
