Dual Worlds: I Have Chapter 114: Preparation Method for Extraordinary Materials

Chapter 114: Chapter 114: Preparation Method for Extraordinary Materials

’Xiaodong?’

’Is this old guy really that flexible?’

To the side, Liu Weicai had expected this all along.

That old coot Dong Wenlong seemed arrogant, but he was actually a pushover. Apply a little pressure, and he’d change his tune in an instant.

It was a personality trait Liu Weicai disliked.

But despite that, the old coot Dong Wenlong was truly accomplished when it came to research in Pharmacy.

Though he was unlikely to ever reach S-Class, he was an absolute pillar among A-level Researchers, producing at least one A-Class achievement nearly every year.

Dong Wenlong was talented, which was the only reason Liu Weicai tolerated his personality.

Liu Weicai continued to pat Dong Wenlong’s shoulder as he carefully instructed, "Researcher Lin Qi is one of the company’s priority talents. Though he became an A-level Researcher at a young age, he still lacks experience. If he runs into any issues during the upcoming research process, make sure you answer his questions patiently."

In previous research projects, Lin Qi could use his status as an A-level Researcher to ensure the M-Class and L-level Researchers didn’t dare talk back.

But Dong Wenlong, after all, was his peer.

To ensure the upcoming research process went smoothly, Liu Weicai was repeatedly cautioning Dong Wenlong.

"Okay, I understand."

Dong Wenlong’s demeanor had undergone a complete transformation; not a trace of his earlier arrogance remained.

He was an old hand at the company, so he knew exactly how much weight a person with connections carried.

’A person important enough for Liu Weicai to personally come down and give instructions... their connections must be sky-high.’

Finally satisfied with Dong Wenlong’s attitude, Liu Weicai exchanged a few more words with Lin Qi and then left the lab.

"Hello, sir. Might I ask about the specifics of our research project?"

Dong Wenlong’s attitude remained cautious; he was absolutely unwilling to cause Lin Qi the slightest displeasure.

’The cost of offending someone with connections was far more terrifying than suffering a physical attack.’

’A megacorporation would crush any long-time employee who didn’t show respect to someone with connections.’

"Mr. Dong... sir. I’d like to learn some of the fundamentals of A-Class Pharmacy. For example, given my weak foundation, what literature should I start with?"

"Oh, and I’m quite interested in Extraordinary Materials."

Lin Qi stated his request.

Just as he’d done with M-Class and L-Class work, he needed to build a solid foundation before actually starting the project.

Hearing this, Dong Wenlong was stunned.

’Thank god I was cautious enough!’

’This is no ordinary person with connections!’

’He’s nowhere near A-Class level, yet he’s been given an A-Class title!’

’I’m not here for a research collaboration. I’m here to gift-wrap my achievements for someone with connections.’

’Teach him, do the research, and then sign the results over to him.’

Dong Wenlong instantly understood Liu Weicai’s scheme.

He breathed a sigh of relief.

’This type of person is the easiest to deal with. As long as you satisfy all their requests, you’ll never offend them.’

"I recommend you read..."

Inside the lab, under Dong Wenlong’s guidance, Lin Qi began to read A-Class literature on Pharmacy.

The first document he read was titled "Standardized Preparation of Extraordinary Materials and Their Application in L-Class and A-Class Potions".

The preparation of Extraordinary Materials, as expected, was A-Class Pharmacy knowledge and was considered a classified document in the company’s database.

It wasn’t even open to all A-level Researchers.

As for Lin Qi, his clearance was naturally sufficient.

Back when Liu Xuan had transferred Lin Qi, she had opened up all A-Class permissions for him.

Perhaps Liu Xuan had intended for Lin Qi to learn some new things in Greenfield City all along.

...

For Lin Qi, learning was a pleasure; it was a process of laying the groundwork for his own future development.

Because of this, Lin Qi barely felt the passage of time as he read the documents.

By the time Lin Qi finished the document—all two hundred niy thousand characters of it—two full hours had passed.

He lifted his head, a trace of horror flashing in his eyes.

The preparation methods for Extraordinary Materials were completely different from what Lin Qi had imagined.

The document listed three methods for preparing Extraordinary Materials.

The first method: shattering Extraordinary Items.

Physically shattering an Extraordinary Item that possessed an Extraordinary Ability would yield what was considered an Extraordinary Material.

The Extraordinary Materials obtained through this method were of extremely high quality.

But its drawback was the instability of its properties.

It was difficult to use it in standardized Potion preparation.

Generally, only S-Class or higher Pharmaceutical Researchers could master the materials obtained through this method.

And any Potions made from these materials were never below A-Class.

The second method was called Funnel Immersion.

Every megacorporation that produced Extraordinary Materials possessed, to some degree, a few Extraordinary Items.

Regardless of the Level of the Extraordinary Item, it could be used to create Extraordinary Materials.

This production method didn’t require destroying the Extraordinary Item. Instead, the Extraordinary Item needed to be placed at the bottom of a funnel-shaped container.

Afterward, other raw materials were added to the funnel—these could be metallic materials, or raw materials from plants and animals.

After the additions were complete, the container was sealed and buried in soil at a depth of over ten meters.

After no less than thirty days of immersion, the materials in the funnel would become multiple tiers of Extraordinary Materials, stratified according to their depth in the funnel.

The Extraordinary Materials prepared this way had stable properties.

But the drawback was its extremely low yield, making it difficult to satisfy the needs of large-scale Potion production.

Therefore, this type of Extraordinary Material was mostly used as a neutralizing agent in various Potions.

The third method was the one that shocked Lin Qi the most.

It was also the one that made Lin Qi understand why Liu’s Heavy Industries—a megacorporation specializing in the production of Prosthetic Bodies—had become a premier supplier of Extraordinary Materials.

This method was called Extraordinary Organism Preparation.

The Cyber World was desperately short of Extraordinary Items. This was something everyone knew, and it was one of the reasons why the Wizard Profession was so difficult to advance in.

But some unknown genius had invented this third method of preparing Extraordinary Materials, causing Pharmacy to flourish to an unprecedented degree.

Extraordinary organisms—or to put it more bluntly, human Extraordinary Professionals—their bodies were, in themselves, a type of Extraordinary Material.

From Lin Qi’s perspective, it meant that the bodies of Extraordinary Professionals, having been steeped in Spiritual Particles for a long time, naturally gained an affinity for them.

By using the bodies of Extraordinary Professionals as materials, it was of course possible to create Potions.

And so, for this bizarre reason, Liu’s Heavy Industries had experienced a second renaissance.

As the leading name in the Prosthetic Body industry within the Asian Administrative Region, Liu’s Heavy Industries owned numerous Prosthetic Clinics.

Replacing a Prosthetic Body would generate medical waste.

That is, the legally harvested organs and parts from various Extraordinary Professionals.

These human parts naturally became assets of Liu’s Heavy Industries.

After secondary processing, these parts became Extraordinary Materials.

The entire process was legal and compliant, not violating any rules set by the Big Business Alliance.
