Dual Worlds: I Have a Doomsday World

"Boss, we really want the implants for ourselves. It has nothing to do with anyone else."

Brother Dian, Yu Wen, was one of Lin Qi’s "devout believers." He waved his hands repeatedly, explaining it was just his personal preference and that Lin Qi shouldn’t worry about it.

A hint of a smile was in Lin Qi’s eyes, but he feigned a serious expression, looked at the group, and asked, "Are you sure you’ve all thought this through?"

"Prosthetic Implantation isn’t as simple as just cutting off an arm or a leg. To truly gain enough combat power through it, replacing your arms and legs is just the bare minimum."

"L-Class already involves other organs, such as the heart and kidneys. To even further reduce the weaknesses of the flesh, prosthetic designs might even include types like the ’Divine Iron Bull’."

"Although the designs I have for you don’t include this for now, it will definitely be part of the plan later on."

Lin Qi made Prosthetic Implantation sound somewhat terrifying. Cutting off arms and legs was just the beginning; in the end, you’d even cut off your...

HISS...

Yu Wen and the others sucked in a sharp breath.

’They have to cut off that much?’

’And they even have to cut that off?’

’Doesn’t that mean we can’t have kids?’

Fear flickered in his heart, but Yu Wen quickly convinced himself.

’Cut!’

’No point overthinking things in the Doomsday World.’

’The flesh is weak, so mechanical ascension is the natural path!’

’If I keep this rotten flesh, who knows when the apocalypse will mutate again and I’ll just turn into a Zombie.’

’What if, after I’m converted into a machine, I won’t have to fear mutation anymore?’

He quickly finished brainwashing himself.

Yu Wen said resolutely to Lin Qi, "Boss, the flesh is weak! I want mechanical ascension! I’d rather be rid of this rotten flesh!"

At his side, the few engineering students who had come with Yu Wen were so shocked their pupils seemed to quake.

’Holy shit!’

’He’s that determined?’

In that instant, a flood of thoughts rushed through their minds.

They thought of the past, and they thought of the future.

But as they thought, their minds drifted to their families, far away, their fates unknown.

’In a world like this, it’s hard enough just to stay alive. Now that we have a chance to live, to grow stronger, and to lead the continuation of our race and civilization, what are we hesitating for?’

’Cut!’

’In ancient times, there were men like Dongfang Bubai and Lin Pingzhi. Now, with even grander ideals, what’s stopping us!’

Their gazes grew more and more resolute, and the students immediately made a promise to Lin Qi.

"Boss, let us be the first batch of Prosthetic Implantations! We’re all volunteers!"

Watching the change in their expressions, Lin Qi was deeply moved.

’Humans are always like this. At critical junctures, they’re capable of anything for the survival of their race and civilization.’

"For the people of the Cyber World, Prosthetic Implantation was like eating and drinking, but for the people of the Doomsday World, it was an agonizing choice."

"Actually, you don’t need to be so worried. While Prosthetic Implantation has its flaws, and there’s a risk of developing cyber psychosis..."

"...the world today isn’t just seeing advances in technology. Extraordinary Power has also emerged."

"And combining Extraordinary Power with technology often produces... miracles."

Lin Qi’s words were a bit mystifying, and the group didn’t understand.

But Lin Qi then explained, "Someone in our camp has mastered an Extraordinary Power called Rapid Growth."

"It allows for the targeted differentiation of designated cells, ignoring the normal differentiation process, and the speed of this growth is extremely fast. I think you understand what this implies."

’What did this imply?’

As students of Mo University, even though they were in engineering, their fundamental knowledge was enough for them to grasp his meaning.

"Boss, do you mean that even if we install a Prosthetic Body, if negative symptoms appear, we can... regrow... the parts we cut off?"

Yu Wen, their leader, stared with wide eyes.

’There’s a move like that?’

He instantly thought of the several Extraordinaries in the Mo University Camp. Each one wielded an Extraordinary Power that science couldn’t explain.

’Extraordinary Powers were strange and varied; one like Rapid Growth wasn’t so hard to imagine.’

"We understand now! Thank you, Boss! So you’d already thought of everything. We were just overthinking it."

Yu Wen quickly added that they had simply been worrying for nothing.

Lin Qi continued, "Don’t be surprised. While this is a result of Extraordinary Power, as long as the Mo University Camp exists, we will definitely be able to develop similar technology in the future, even without the help of Extraordinary Power."

"Medical technology also advances over time."

Lin Qi wasn’t bluffing. In the Cyber World, technology for regenerating severed limbs wasn’t complex.

Ordinary Prosthetic Implantations who wanted to recover could do so easily. As long as they were willing to pay, the corresponding medical services were available.

Only the most top-tier Prosthetic Implantations—some of whom had cut away everything but their brains, and some who had even cut away a significant part of their brains—

—were the ones who couldn’t be restored.

For now, the Doomsday World didn’t require such extreme implantation methods.

And for the time being, Lin Qi wouldn’t let the Mo University Camp survivors’ prosthetic conversion rate exceed sixty-five percent.

After hearing this news, Yu Wen and the others were completely at ease. They all volunteered to Lin Qi, ready to start frontline work on Prosthetic Body production.

Lin Qi told them that Wang Ziru would arrange the relevant work.

Immediately after, Lin Qi left the lab and headed for a lecture hall on the first floor of the Club Activity Building.

The number of survivors in the Mo University Camp was limited, only around four hundred people.

Among them, about one hundred were scattered throughout the Mo University Camp, responsible for security.

The remaining survivors had already gathered in the lecture hall, waiting for Lin Qi to arrive.

Entering the lecture hall, Lin Qi walked to the podium and began to speak.
