Dual Worlds: I Have a Doomsday World

"Director Ding, do you know the effect of the buff those three received?"

Lin Qi asked, though he already had his own suspicions.

As expected, Ding Yang shook his head helplessly. "That’s classified information from Headquarters. I don’t have the clearance to know."

Lin Qi had essentially achieved his goal, but he still didn’t know what this so-called buff actually did.

Seeing Lin Qi’s pensive expression, Ding Yang offered a word of comfort. "Receiving a Special Merit is a good thing, no matter what. According to Headquarters, the buff’s effects will eventually be unlocked. Don’t be too anxious, Lin Qi."

He nodded. ’Obsessing over the buff’s effect is pointless.’

’I’ll just have to wait for it to trigger to find out.’ 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Based on Lin Qi’s estimation, he only had a faint, almost imperceptible feeling for now.

But when the buff triggered, the sensation would surely become much more distinct.

’I’ll find out sooner or later. No need to get worked up about it.’

Before long, two carrying cases were placed in Lin Qi’s hands.

He observed them with his Spiritual Vision—they were indeed two Tier Two Crystal Stones.

While Lin Qi was waiting, the supplies from the truck were also completely unloaded.

The Warriors of Hongshan Camp handled this new batch of equipment with extreme care.

"Director Ding, I’ll be taking my leave. Later today, I’ll arrange for someone to deliver an M-level finished Potion and its documentation to Hongshan Camp."

"Director Ding, please note: these M-level Potions can only be consumed after a person has ingested Crimson Crystal Stones to their absolute limit and their physical constitution has reached Tier One. Make sure there are no mistakes."

Lin Qi added another reminder before he left.

His words left Ding Yang feeling as if he were on pins and needles, eagerly awaiting the Potion’s arrival.

The Zombies were simply getting stronger too quickly, and the pressure on Hongshan Camp was mounting by the day.

Carrying the two Tier Two Crystal Stones, Lin Qi began his journey back.

On the road, Lin Qi carefully weighed the pros and cons of his trip.

Disregarding Ability compatibility for now, he had enough Extraordinary Items to advance to the Second Stage of Tier Three.

He had also obtained a so-called buff, though its effects remained to be seen.

’But I have a strong feeling this buff will only work in the Doomsday World.’

’The sensation it gives me is similar to being watched, but not exactly the same.’

He shook his head, pushing thoughts of the buff aside for the time being.

He went back to thinking about the other major task he’d handled today.

Lin Qi had deliberately revealed the Potion to trade with Ding Yang—or rather, with the Dragon Country government.

On the surface, it looked like Lin Qi had only received two Tier Two Crystal Stones, but the future returns from this deal would be substantial.

Was it a loss?

Or a gain?

Lin Qi felt he hadn’t lost out on the deal.

The true value of Pharmacy lay in the knowledge itself, not in the production of a single Potion or its finished form.

What Lin Qi had promised Ding Yang was merely the formula for one M-level Potion and a finished sample.

With so little information, it would be extremely difficult for the Dragon Country to develop a complete field of Pharmacy.

Not to mention, the difference between M-level and L-Class Potions was night and day; M-level ones didn’t even require Extraordinary Materials.

Besides, even if the Dragon Country managed to develop the rudiments of Pharmacy from this, their research speed could never match Lin Qi’s.

The boost his Spiritual Vision gave to his Pharmacy skills was something even Pharmaceutical Researchers from the Cyber World found unbelievable.

In the future, Lin Qi could leverage many more Potion formulas for significant gains.

Furthermore, L-Class and A-Class Potions could bring him even greater returns.

Acquiring Tier Three and Tier Four Extraordinary Items in the future would most likely depend on his trades with the Dragon Country government.

As for the weapons and equipment he had brought for Ding Yang, those were of secondary importance.

By the time he finished tallying his gains and losses, the truck had already entered the perimeter of the Mo University Camp.

Upon entering the Mo University Camp, the members of the guard squad breathed a sigh of relief.

The inside and outside of Mo University were like two different worlds.

Inside Mo University, aside from the population density, it seemed as if things had returned to how they were in peacetime.

All the Zombies had been cleared out, and the survivors who weren’t strong enough for combat had even started cleaning up the area.

It was as if they were trying to restore Mo University to a state even more pristine than before the doomsday began.

The truck moved much faster than it had outside the Mo University walls.

The truck finally came to a halt in front of the Club Activity Building.

The Mo University Camp’s security was well-organized, so Wang Ziru, having been notified, was already waiting for Lin Qi at the ground-floor entrance.

"Do you have any new instructions for us?"

Wang Ziru was a smart man. He knew that since Lin Qi had personally made a trip to Hongshan Camp, he would likely have new orders upon his return. By proactively coming to ask, he saved Lin Qi the trouble of sending someone to find him.

The way Wang Ziru handled matters always saved Lin Qi a lot of trouble.

"Prepare five doses of the M-level Potion we had produced earlier and send them to Hongshan Camp. Also, make a copy of the technical documentation and send it to Ding Yang as well."

Upon hearing this, Wang Ziru uncharacteristically asked, "We’re just giving it to them for free?"

Wang Ziru had long since decided where his loyalties lay.

The government was the government. While he still felt a certain affinity for them, his current responsibility was to the Mo University Camp, and he had to consider its gains and losses first and foremost.

The interests of the Mo University Camp were Lin Qi’s interests, and Wang Ziru was trying to lighten his leader’s burden.

"Yes and no."

After replying to Wang Ziru, Lin Qi thought for a moment and added, "You should make the trip yourself."

Wang Ziru’s face lit up with joy when he heard this.

This was a sign of Lin Qi’s trust in him!

Asking him to go personally meant Lin Qi wanted him to speak with Ding Yang again to iron out the final details of their transaction.

It was also Lin Qi’s way of acknowledging Wang Ziru’s standing within the Mo University Camp.

It signified that, apart from Lin Qi himself, Wang Ziru could now also represent their faction in certain situations.
