Chapter 523 326: King Arthur: Wizard, You're at a Loss

Guang Ling didn't send any new messages in the group chat. No one knew what Guang Ling was thinking.

It was as if Guang Ling hadn't understood the point of Lin Qi's message at all. An email appeared in Lin Qi's inbox.

The sender was listed as a Highest Level secure mailbox, which meant it was from Guang Ling.

[I've taken control of this area's network. Do you need me to set up a block for you now?]

Lin Qi looked at the email and thought for a moment.

Theoretically, Guang Ling didn't know that Lin Qi was already carrying the Potions on him.

Lin Qi thought Guang Ling was mysterious, but in Guang Ling's eyes, Lin Qi was just as enigmatic.

Supplies would occasionally disappear or appear out of nowhere, and his Spiritual Power level was rising at an incredible speed...

This was Lin Qi from Guang Ling's perspective.

Even with Guang Ling's supreme control over the cyber network, it couldn't get any information about the Doomsday World.

'Thankfully, after I joined the Mercenary Corps and met Guang Ling, I designed and modified all my Prosthetic Body parts myself.'

'All the software is real-time responsive, incapable of storing information. Even the Intelligent Brain uses a cloud framework, losing 99% of its functionality when offline.'

'Otherwise, the Doomsday World might have been exposed to Guang Ling's surveillance. If that were ever made public, I'd become the public enemy of the entire Cyber World.'

Lin Qi was quite glad for his past caution.

For now, Guang Ling's interests didn't conflict with his own, so it wouldn't rashly probe his mysteries and would just turn a blind eye for the time being.

'There's no need for me to go out of my way to hide it. Guang Ling has probably suspected something for a while now anyway.'

Thinking of this, Lin Qi replied to the email directly:

[I can deploy the Potions now. Thanks for the trouble, I appreciate it.]

The reply was polite, with no trace of scheming.

Guang Ling replied instantly:

[The block is active. Send me the exact coordinates after you complete the drop, and I'll inform the others individually.]

After receiving the reply, Lin Qi took action immediately.

The weapon compartments in both his arms opened simultaneously, revealing they were stuffed to the brim.

Lin Qi was practically using his arms as warehouses.

After the weapon compartments opened, a mass of cells immediately split off from Lin Qi's body.

The cell mass moved to the weapon compartments and enveloped all the Potions inside.

It exited through the window of the flying vehicle and quickly entered the sewer system.

A full 99 Potions were removed from the weapon compartments, and Lin Qi felt his arms become a little lighter.

About five minutes later, Lin Qi had divided the Potions into three batches.

One S-Class Potion for Master Ma, two S-Class Potions for King Arthur, and four sets of L-Class and four sets of A-Class for the Capitalist.

He placed them in concealed spots within the underground pipe system, each about two hundred meters apart.

Master Ma and King Arthur were currently operating together. The underground pipes were practically King Arthur's backyard, so it was very convenient for the two of them to pick up the goods.

As for the Capitalist?

She didn't need to act herself; she had a loyal stooge.

Other than communicating with the Capitalist, Jingang almost never interacted with the other members of the Highest-Level Mercenary Corps, as if he were afraid the Capitalist would get the wrong idea.

After dropping off the Potions, Lin Qi sent the coordinates to Guang Ling, then piloted his flying vehicle back to the Prosthetic Clinic.

...

A few hours later, in the Highest-Level Mercenary Corps' temporary chat window.

Guang Ling: "Although the mission failed this time, all participating members have successfully evacuated. If you need to debrief, you can do so now. The temporary chat will close in five minutes. I need to reallocate computing power, as I'm currently engaged in a large-scale data attack and defense with cyber hackers from the Eastern Alliance."

Capitalist: "@Wizard, I've received the Potions. There's no rush for the subsequent S-Class Potions. I can give you the Tier Four Extraordinary Items in advance. Just send your shipping address to Guang Ling later."

Master Ma: "@Wizard, I've also received the Potions, but I need to get back to a safe location before I can test them. I'll sync the data with Guang Ling to be relayed to you within three days at the latest."

King Arthur: "Master, you really get more timid the older you get. I went straight into the underground pipes of the industrial wasteland. I've already taken the one with the relatively lower concentration of Will Power."

King Arthur: "@Wizard, I think you're being too modest! You can't be like this! The effect of this Potion is incredible! It's much stronger than the one I got from the Si Clan. The Will Power is almost one and a half times that of the Si Clan's!"

King Arthur: "For you to call this kind of Potion a 'defective product' is way too humble. I think the market value of this Potion should be at least 120 million. The other, stronger Potion has nearly double the Will Power concentration—it should be worth over 160 million!"

King Arthur: "Holy crap! I just remembered you traded 12 S-Class Potions for the Tier Four Extraordinary Items from the Capitalist. Wizard, you took a huge loss!"

King Arthur was nothing if not dedicated. He had just fled the scene but was already acting as a guinea pig for Lin Qi.

He was even willing to waste some of the S-Class Potion's effectiveness just to spare some of his focus and speak up for Lin Qi during the last five minutes the temporary chat window was open.

Lin Qi hadn't expected the Doomsday World version of the S-Class Potions to be so outrageously effective.

After all, the Will Power in the Potions was what remained after the Blood Moon Will clashed with the Holy Light!

'Did I take a loss? Not really. S-Class Potions have almost no cost for me.'

Lin Qi held the resources of the Doomsday World in his hands, and he had the help of his Spiritual Vision.

The two biggest costs for S-Class Potions—the cost of Extraordinary Materials and the energy cost for an S-Class Alchemist—were extremely low for him.
