Lin Qi entered the cold storage, where he saw the Zombie corpses stacked and sorted.

How were they sorted?

By gender, age, and Zombie type, of course...

"The original plan was to have those ten robots do the dirty work, but now I have to do it myself."

He sighed, but Lin Qi didn’t want to waste any time.

The sooner he obtained a sufficient quantity and variety of Extraordinary Materials, the sooner he could begin research on L-Class Potions for the Doomsday World.

With Lin Qi’s current level of skill in Pharmacy, developing a brand new L-Class Potion wasn’t a difficult task for him.

Even without cheating by using his Spiritual Vision, Lin Qi could still complete the research; it would just be less efficient.

Clearing his mind of miscellaneous thoughts, Lin Qi got to work.

According to the literature he had read in the Cyber World, Extraordinary Materials prepared from extraordinary creatures needed to have a certain degree of material consistency.

That is, in terms of Extraordinary Professions, parts of the body used, and so on.

Zombies counted as extraordinary creatures, and he didn’t have to worry about them having different Extraordinary Professions.

In fact, with a large enough sample size, a single trip out onto the streets could bring back a huge batch.

Lin Qi had even subdivided them by gender and age.

As long as the resulting Extraordinary Materials differed by more than ten percent, they could be classified as new materials, which would aid in Potion research and development.

As for now, Lin Qi’s work was relatively simple.

Dismember, debone, and feed into the pulverizer.

Next, he mixed in the ordinary M-level Potion ingredients that he’d arranged to have stored in advance—various alloy powders and medicines. He then put the mixture through sedimentation, filtration, and crystallization.

After this series of operations, the material poured into the molds was the final Extraordinary Material.

The Level of the material could be determined by the adhesion effect of the Spiritual Particles on the material itself.

This was typical dirty work, not much different from cleaning up after a murder.

The only thing missing was some creepy Underworld music to set the mood.

Lin Qi was highly efficient and felt no psychological or physiological discomfort.

For people from the Cyber World, this was a commonplace scene.

This was especially true for Lin Qi, who came from a Prosthetic Doctor Family and had experience helping Doctor Lin since childhood.

Severed limbs, organs, human offal...

Lin Qi had been exposed to these things since he was a child.

He wasn’t repulsed by it, but that didn’t stop him from thinking it was dirty work that should be handled by robots.

This was something that could be standardized and automated, not requiring the personal supervision of a Pharmaceutical Researcher like himself.

Lin Qi only needed to control the final quality of the materials.

"It’s about what I expected. The quality of the Zombie corpses isn’t as good as a Tier One Extraordinary’s, but it’s close. I was indeed able to prepare L-Class Extraordinary Materials."

"And by subdividing them by age and gender, the variance between the materials reached over fifteen percent, which is enough to complete the Potion research."

"But the overall uniformity of the material is too high. Relying solely on Zombies as ingredients won’t be enough to produce the L-Class Potion."

Although Lin Qi didn’t have any equipment on hand, he was able to analyze the situation and spot the issues using his Spiritual Vision.

His gaze shifted to the remaining mutated Zombies.

Lin Qi shook his head again. The number of mutated Zombies was too small to form a stable supply of materials.

’Perhaps after being processed into Extraordinary Materials, they could be combined with other materials to create Potions.’

’But in Pharmacy, the inability to mass-produce is the biggest drawback.’

Lin Qi had to consider the mass production of the Potion.

By creating an above-spec version of the L-Class Potion, Lin Qi wasn’t just looking to enhance his own physical attributes; he also hoped to pursue greater profits.

After finishing his simple experiment, Lin Qi left the Sixth Dining Hall’s cold storage.

He would leave the remaining materials for the robots to process once they were fully operational. There was no need for Lin Qi to waste his time.

After leaving the Sixth Dining Hall, Lin Qi headed straight for the building where the Moon Worshipers were being held.

Lin Qi thought of the standardized preparation of Extraordinary Materials, and of the so-called Blood Moon Descent Object.

It was an Extraordinary Item, and one that could be mass-produced.

Using shattered Extraordinary Items to create Potion ingredients was one of the three major methods for preparing Extraordinary Materials.

However, the Cyber World was constrained by the scarcity of Extraordinary Items, and Lin Qi had never even heard of anyone in the Cyber World being able to create them.

This preparation method was therefore difficult to mass-produce in the Cyber World.

But the Blood Moon Descent Objects made by the Moon Worshipers...

Lin Qi planned to make good use of them.

Arriving at the building where the Moon Worshipers were under house arrest, the squad responsible for guarding—or rather, monitoring—them immediately saluted Lin Qi upon his arrival.

Perhaps because the Mo University Camp had been interacting more and more with the Hongshan Rescue Team recently, the camp’s squad members had gradually picked up some of the habits of official military units.

They looked sharp and had a sense of ceremony.

This made the Mo University Camp seem more and more like a regular army.

Lin Qi, however, didn’t share the habit. He just nodded before entering the building.

Activating his Spiritual Vision, Lin Qi saw Wei Yue, as well as the other Moon Worshipers.

They seemed to be arguing.

Without alerting them, Lin Qi silently approached the outside of their room.

...

"Sister Wei, do you really think this Blood Moon Envoy is fulfilling our ideals? I think he’s been completely co-opted by the officials!"

"No, he hasn’t been co-opted by the officials! He just can’t stand the thought of a new Blood Moon Envoy being born!"

"Sister Wei, snap out of it! We can’t just sit here and wait to die! We have to leave Mo University! We must find a new way to help the Blood Moon complete its descent!"

"Sister Wei, I seriously doubt his identity as the Blood Moon Envoy! We’ve definitely been tricked!"

Several people were voicing their dissatisfaction to Wei Yue.

They were all fanatical believers of the Blood Moon, with only one ideal in their hearts: to see the Blood Moon complete its descent.

But ever since Lin Qi appeared, everything had changed.

The Tier Three Monster was eliminated, the Blood Moon Descent Object was destroyed, and they themselves were even placed under house arrest here.

Hearing these words, Wei Yue’s brow furrowed.

’Doesn’t she know?’

She understood all of this perfectly well.

But for some reason, she felt from the bottom of her heart that Lin Qi must have his reasons for doing things this way.

As a first-generation Moon Worshiper, her obedience to the Blood Moon Envoy came from her very soul.

It was as if Lin Qi had become the Blood Moon’s regent on earth; even when he wasn’t around, she wouldn’t—and more importantly, wouldn’t dare—question the purpose of any of his actions.

"All of you, shut up! The Blood Moon Envoy is not someone you can question."

Wei Yue was agitated, but her stance was extremely firm.

There seemed to be a fundamental difference between the first-generation Moon Worshipers and those who converted later.

The group fell silent for a long time.

It wasn’t that they agreed with Wei Yue; they were building up to something.

Finally, someone couldn’t hold back any longer and spoke up. "Sister Wei, in that case, please forgive us, but we can no longer follow you. For the sake of the great Blood Moon, we must forge our own path!"

As soon as he said this, the other Moon Worshipers also stood up. "Sister Wei, we’ve already thought it through. There are two squads watching us in this building, only eight people in total. Their guard isn’t high. As long as we catch them by surprise, take a few of them down quickly, and seize their guns, we can definitely fight our way out."

"And we definitely can’t stay here. With that fake Blood Moon Envoy around, it’ll be hard to complete our great plan here. We have to leave. We need to go to a smaller county town; only there can we fulfill our plan."

It was obvious the group had been talking behind Wei Yue’s back and had already formulated a plan.

Only Wei Yue was completely in the dark.

Instantly, Wei Yue’s expression changed drastically. An invisible Spiritual Power radiated from her, forming a unique pressure that only a first-generation Moon Worshiper could exert.

Wei Yue blocked the door. "Go ahead, try to force your way through."

Wei Yue’s voice was ice-cold, even filled with killing intent.

The invisible Spiritual Power had an effect.

As their Moon Summoner, Wei Yue naturally held a higher rank than them, and the group showed expressions of pain.

But even in their pain, their eyes still held a crazed look.

"Sister Wei, don’t blame us! This is all for the great Blood Moon!"

"May the Blood Moon hang high, and may all life yearn for it!" 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

The six of them then lunged at Wei Yue.
