Materials prepared using this third method have stable properties and a stable supply, making them very popular with potion companies.

The Liu Clan has conducted deep research on this category of materials.

They have even classified the material types according to different professions and the specific prosthetic body parts being replaced.

For example, the primary raw ingredient for the Extraordinary Material designated "Liu Clan-L-12" is the right arm of a Tier One Martial Artist.

Another example is the Extraordinary Material "Liu Clan-L-16," whose main ingredient is the right arm of a Tier One Knight.

Prosthetic Body companies produce prosthetics, replace them for Low Tier Extraordinary Professionals, and acquire Extraordinary Materials.

Potion companies produce potions, tempting large numbers of ordinary people to walk the path of highly common Extraordinary Professions like Martial Artist and Knight, creating a large population of Low Tier Extraordinary Professionals.

This group of Low Tier Extraordinary Professionals then takes out loans from large corporations to replace their prosthetic bodies, thereby providing the Extraordinary Materials.

It’s a self-contained, sustainable industrial chain.

Lin Qi was utterly shocked.

’Wait a minute,’ he thought. ’If the bodies of human Extraordinary Professionals can be used in potions, then what about Zombies?’

’The bodies of human Extraordinary Professionals and Zombies are not fundamentally different. Both are products of long-term saturation by Spiritual Particles.’

’Doesn’t this mean Zombies can also be used in potions?’

Lin Qi’s thoughts raced.

His focus wasn’t limited to just the Cyber World.

Putting down the research document, Lin Qi continued to read the next one.

It also discussed the preparation of Extraordinary Materials, and the article was from one of the Liu Clan’s internal researchers.

It elaborated on the details of preparing materials from extraordinary biological sources.

The more Lin Qi read, the more certain he became: the Zombies from the Doomsday World could definitely be used in potions.

Moreover, the Extraordinary Materials produced from Zombies would most likely be even better than those produced by the Liu Clan.

After all, the creation of Zombies was far more standardized than the promotion standards for Extraordinary Professionals like Martial Artists and Knights.

’Extraordinary Materials prepared from Zombies will inevitably have highly stable properties,’ he mused. ’They’d be perfect for the mass production of L-Class Potions.’

Deeply engrossed in the literature, Lin Qi gained a profound understanding of the extraordinary biological preparation method.

The preparation process was rather complex, requiring numerous steps to remove impurities.

By the end of the preparation, almost all organic matter would be filtered out, with the remaining material consisting mostly of inorganic substances.

This was the core reason why Lin Qi hadn’t previously discovered that Zombies could be used in potions.

Nearby, Dong Wenlong watched the literature-obsessed Lin Qi, his heart full of doubt.

’This kid who got in through connections seems to be working hard.’

’Forcing himself to read research papers with zero foundation... can he even understand any of it?’

Dong Wenlong didn’t know that Lin Qi’s comprehension, enhanced by his Wizard Ability, far surpassed that of an ordinary person.

Furthermore, on his path in Pharmacy, the aid of his Spiritual Vision had allowed Lin Qi to grasp the very essence of the field from the beginning.

Reading Pharmacy literature from this perspective was like looking down from a high-rise, giving him a commanding overview.

His efficiency was extremely high.

After a long while, Lin Qi put down the documents, his mind now filled with a number of questions.

Lin Qi began to ask his questions.

The incisiveness of his questions was exactly the same as when he had been studying M-Class and L-Class topics.

The only difference was that back then, Lin Qi had been "humbly asking his inferiors," and the researchers often couldn’t resolve his doubts.

But Dong Wenlong was different. From the time he joined the Greenfield City branch of Liu’s Heavy Industries at the age of twenty, he had been specifically groomed by the company in the direction of Pharmacy.

He had been immersed in the Pharmacy Domain for a full forty-one years.

And he had been an A-level Researcher for eighteen years.

Dong Wenlong’s understanding of A-Class Pharmacy was arguably the most extensive in all of Liu’s Heavy Industries.

The reason he hadn’t become S-Class was a matter of Talent, not a lack of effort on his part.

As a result, Dong Wenlong could answer most of Lin Qi’s questions fluently, without needing much time to ponder.

Lin Qi had never had such a smooth learning experience.

His enthusiasm immediately soared.

Ask questions, read documents, encounter new doubts, ask more questions, read more documents.

In this repeating cycle, time unknowingly crept up to quitting time.

By now, Dong Wenlong’s expression was completely different from when he had first arrived at the lab.

’Is this damn kid really just someone with connections?’

’What kind of nepotism hire has a Talent for learning this strong?’

Dong Wenlong could clearly sense it from the questions Lin Qi was asking.

Lin Qi was progressing at an incomprehensible speed. Perhaps tomorrow, perhaps the very next moment, Lin Qi would truly step through the door to the A-Class level of the Pharmacy Domain.

At least in Dong Wenlong’s eyes, much of Lin Qi’s understanding of Pharmacy had already surpassed the L-Class scope.

’This kid is truly terrifying!’

Looking up at Lin Qi, Dong Wenlong’s gaze became incredibly complex.

Suddenly, Lin Qi’s eyes left the documents again, clearly having a new question to ask.

Dong Wenlong quickly cut him off. "It’s quitting time! How about we continue tomorrow?"

Dong Wenlong’s tone was a bit weak.

It wasn’t that he couldn’t answer Lin Qi’s questions, but that he was getting tired.

’I’m a sixty-one-year-old man, can’t you show some respect for an old man’s Physical Strength?’

Dong Wenlong had no Prosthetic Body modifications anywhere on his person. His body had only reached the threshold of Tier One after taking an M-level Potion.

Furthermore, Dong Wenlong hadn’t mastered the Cultivation method of any Extraordinary Profession; he was just an ordinary old man who was slightly stronger than average.

"Quitting time?"

Lin Qi finally looked at the time.

Indeed, it was already 9:12, a full twelve minutes past closing time.

Activating his Spiritual Vision, Lin Qi also noticed that Dong Wenlong’s physical condition was not high, and he was clearly exhausted.

"Thank you for your guidance today, Elder Dong. Let’s continue tomorrow."

Lin Qi was very satisfied with Dong Wenlong’s professionalism.

If he maintained today’s efficiency, it wouldn’t be long before Lin Qi could justifiably shed the label of "nepotism hire" and become a true A-level Researcher.

Just as this thought formed, Lin Qi saw the diligent Dong Wenlong, who hadn’t moved a single step before Lin Qi had left the lab.

’On second thought,’ he considered, ’being a nepotism hire isn’t so bad.’

’As long as Liu’s Heavy Industries doesn’t fall, I should try to get an S-Class big shot to teach me in the future.’

’Having connections is great! I’ll keep using them in the future.’

Taking the lead, Lin Qi walked out of the laboratory.

The next second, Lin Qi heard the lights and power in the lab shut off in unison as Dong Wenlong hurried out.

Lin Qi had seen this kind of behavior before!

It was very familiar!

It was practically a carbon copy of himself back in the Red Fruit City days.

’If you’re not eager to clock out, there’s something wrong with your mindset!’

Shaking his head, Lin Qi entered the elevator and rode down to the first floor with Dong Wenlong.

The elevator doors slowly opened. The doors of the elevator opposite them didn’t budge in the slightest.

Today, Lin Qi once again didn’t see the two sisters, Liu Xuan and Liu Li.

He walked out of the company’s main entrance and headed for the public rail transport platform.

Suddenly, Lin Qi received an email. It was from a Highest Level secure mailbox, and the sender was Guang Ling.
