Dual Worlds: I Have a Doomsday World
Chapter 283 - 211: Lin Qi: Guang Ling Didn’t Lie to Me
Just as Lin Qi was starting to feel a pang of guilt, another message from King Arthur arrived.
[I’m checking the current T2-class Spacecraft inventory. Do you have any other requirements? There are quite a few types of miniaturized T2-class spacecraft. If you have more specific needs, it’ll make it easier for me to find the corresponding blueprints and stock.]
’Oh crap!’
’Now I feel even more guilty!’
Lin Qi felt he wasn’t just a petty man anymore; he had become the king of petty men, as if he were judging a gentleman by his own lowly standards.
But did Lin Qi regret his actions?
The answer was a definitive no.
Every choice Lin Qi made was for the sake of survival, and for the sake of living a better life.
Regardless, Lin Qi had never betrayed any member of the Highest-Level Mercenary Corps, and he would never regret his choices.
He composed a message and sent it to King Arthur.
[If possible, I need the spacecraft to be as small as possible and highly modular. The core components should be connectable with simpler modules, and it would be even better if the material strength requirements were lower...]
Lin Qi’s requests were based on the actual conditions of the Doomsday World.
First, the miniaturization and modularity were for the sake of portability. The number of items Lin Qi could take to the Doomsday World was extremely limited.
He had experimented before and found he couldn’t even bring a suitcase through.
Therefore, Lin Qi had to opt for a modular design.
He would have to dismantle it, combine the parts with his own Exoskeleton, and carry the core components to the Doomsday World over several trips.
While transporting the core components, he could manufacture the other non-essential parts in the Doomsday World according to the blueprints.
Only then would it be possible to manufacture and assemble the spacecraft within seven days, in time for the Blood Moon mutation.
Lin Qi believed that the Cyber World definitely had this kind of technology.
Whether King Arthur could find it, however, was hard to say.
But King Arthur continued to bring pleasant surprises.
[Your requirements sound familiar. You’re not planning on pulling off something big and then assembling a spacecraft on the spot to escape, are you? During the last corporate war, plenty of Extraordinaries used this method to flee after their operations. They flew every which way—some even went straight to Mars.]
[There are quite a few spacecraft of this model, and plenty of leftover stock from back then.]
[I picked one that’s the simplest to produce and assemble. Its parameters match your requirements. The blueprints, two core propulsion modules, and one smart control module will cost you seven million Credit Points. You can pay me later. How does that sound?]
This was absolutely great news.
Seven million Credit Points was actually a bargain.
Developing a spacecraft like this from scratch would cost far more than seven million.
Without King Arthur’s help, Lin Qi might not have been able to go to the Doomsday World for a long time. He would have had to wait until he could save up for such a spacecraft before he could go again, which would have greatly affected how quickly he could grow stronger.
[A very fair price.]
After sending the message, Lin Qi hesitated for a moment, then decided to contact Guang Ling.
He composed an email, selecting the destination: a Highest-Level secure mailbox.
Its security level was even higher than Lin Xin’s own mailbox.
As for the contents of the email Lin Qi composed...
[Guang Ling, I have a big favor to ask.]
The moment Lin Qi sent the email, a reply from Guang Ling came back.
[Dongfang Logistics. Secure delivery costs three million, next-day arrival. I can cover it for you; just owe me another favor.]
Of course. Guang Ling was Guang Ling, after all. He understood Lin Qi better than anyone, knowing he was so poor he was drowning in debt.
Lin Qi had no intention of keeping his secrets from Guang Ling; he was fairly certain Guang Ling already knew he had them.
Although Lin Qi’s previous operations had been quite covert, they had most likely not escaped Guang Ling’s surveillance network.
Since Guang Ling hadn’t caused him any trouble yet, it meant that, for now at least, his intentions were good.
Of course, there was no such thing as unmotivated goodwill in this world, even though Lin Qi could bring some benefits to Guang Ling.
But the value of those benefits was, in truth, quite limited.
Lin Qi had long ago mentally prepared himself for the possibility that Guang Ling might screw him over in a big way someday.
Lin Qi couldn’t plan too far into the future, and there was no need to be overly wary of Guang Ling.
It was better to live in the present and get stronger as quickly as possible.
Once he possessed the power of Tier Four or Tier Five, what seemed like a huge problem now might be something he could solve with a single sentence then.
[Thank you.]
Right now, Lin Qi had neither the desire nor the need to refuse Guang Ling’s goodwill. After expressing his thanks, Lin Qi finalized the details with King Arthur, then put away his wrist device.
Moving and communicating at the same time, Lin Qi had already reached the first floor of the Alliance Mansion.
With Guang Ling’s help, Lin Qi’s actions drew no attention from anyone.
Even the A-Class Implanter that Si Ranran had arranged to monitor Lin Qi had failed to notice his departure.
Forget him—even Brother Green Hair, his diligent bodyguard, hadn’t noticed!
Lin Qi was being extremely cautious.
He opened his Spiritual Vision, covering a radius of nearly a kilometer.
Such a massive area of coverage for his Spiritual Vision was enough for Lin Qi to notice a lot of information he hadn’t paid attention to before.
For example... the regional flow trends of Spiritual Particles.
Based on Lin Qi’s past experience, Spiritual Class Extraordinary Professionals created a pull on Spiritual Particles when they were in Meditation, with the pull from Wizards being particularly obvious.
If multiple Extraordinary Professionals were meditating simultaneously within Alliance City, and there were Wizards among them, the flow patterns of the Spiritual Particles would be very obvious.
