Chapter 304: Chapter 221: Tier Five Extraordinary Items
Lin Qi already had a good idea of what this Ability would be.
And in fact, it wasn’t too different from what he had imagined.
The Ability was simple, summed up in a single word: Splitting.
When he activated this Ability, Lin Qi could manipulate his own cells, making them split off to form a malformed individual. This entity possessed no self-awareness, but Lin Qi could control it remotely as long as it was within his Spiritual Vision.
’The individual created by Splitting can’t use my Wizard Abilities, but...’
Lin Qi’s gaze was deep and discerning as he focused on Ding Yang through his Spiritual Vision.
The next second, a small clump of cells split from Lin Qi’s body, and he instantly lost several pounds of flesh.
This was the Ability’s drawback: the mass for the new individual had to come from the main body, and its potential size was also limited by the mass of the original.
But Lin Qi possessed "Rapid Growth." A mere few pounds of flesh was nothing; he could grow it back in seconds.
Not only could he grow it back on himself, but he could also direct the "malformed individual" to undergo targeted growth.
By channeling the power of "Rapid Growth" through his Spiritual Vision and onto the malformed individual, the creature—which weighed only a few pounds—grew rapidly, slowly transforming into... Ding Yang!
That’s right, it turned directly into Ding Yang!
Before splitting off the malformed individual, Lin Qi had also used the power of Decomposition Mimicry.
Analyzing an ordinary person like Ding Yang took only an instant.
Then, using Mimicry, he altered some of his own cells, turning them into a perfect copy of Ding Yang’s.
This was a transformation granted at the Extraordinary Level. Even if subjected to a DNA test, it would show up as Ding Yang’s DNA. But in the Extraordinary Domain, it was still judged to be a part of Lin Qi that he had split off after using Mimicry.
He had absolute control over this malformed individual composed of "Ding Yang’s" cells.
Looking at the naked, malformed individual before him that now wore Ding Yang’s appearance, Lin Qi frowned. He then activated his Prosthetic Body, and a laser burn instantly reduced "Ding Yang" to a pile of charred blackness.
The destruction of the malformed individual wouldn’t cause any sort of backlash for Lin Qi.
However, the consumed Spiritual Power would need time to recover, and he couldn’t create an unlimited number of these malformed individuals.
After all, the process of using "Decomposition Mimicry," "Splitting," "Rapid Growth," and "Spiritual Vision" all consumed Spiritual Power.
Using this method against an enemy consumed far more energy than his conventional tactics.
But the advantages were also clear. It was exceptionally insidious, and his true self would remain completely unexposed from start to finish.
’The malformed individual can change into the appearance of other people by combining Decomposition Mimicry and Rapid Growth.’
’Not just their appearance, but even their Physical Strength. If I analyze a Knight or Martial Artist with sufficiently high Physical Strength and equip the malformed individual with a High-Level Prosthetic Body, it will have impressive combat capabilities.’
’And even if it fails and is captured, its DNA will belong to someone else. There’s no way it could be traced back to me.’
’I can analyze an individual from the Doomsday World and then use Mimicry and Splitting in the Cyber World. That way, there would be absolutely no evidence.’
Linking different Abilities to form special combinations was something Lin Qi had considered for a long time.
His analysis of this Tier Two Crystal Stone was a deliberate effort to combine Abilities, to create a synergy of skills.
’Although it has many limitations, I can slowly figure out the best ways to use it.’
In any case, this combination of Abilities would definitely be effective in the Cyber World, especially when paired with a Prosthetic Body.
Lin Qi stood up and walked out of the room.
As soon as he stepped out, a member of the Mo University Camp said to him, "Boss, Wang Ziru and the people from Hongshan Camp are waiting for you in the conference room on the first floor."
Lin Qi nodded and headed for the elevator.
Ding Yang and Wang Qiang had been waiting for a long time, and Wang Ziru was doing his best to keep them placated.
Fortunately, both men were still reeling from the shock of "Lin Qi can actually build a rocket," so they weren’t in the mood to give Wang Ziru a hard time.
He took the elevator to the first floor and entered the conference room.
Wang Ziru breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Lin Qi arrive. This time, Lin Qi’s "seclusion" had lasted over three hours longer than usual, and Wang Ziru had no idea when he would emerge.
Thankfully, he had finally appeared.
If it had been much longer, Wang Ziru worried that the arrogant guy from Headquarters would lose his temper.
"Director Ding, Wang Ziru should have told you about the rocket, right?" Lin Qi said, looking at Wang Ziru.
When Ding Yang visited yesterday, Lin Qi hadn’t directly agreed to his request.
After all, before contacting Guang Ling and King Arthur, Lin Qi wasn’t sure if he could actually manage to build a rocket.
Generally, that kind of thing was only developed by an Intercontinental Giant Corporation. As it happened, however, King Arthur’s background was anything but simple.
Ding Yang nodded repeatedly. "Lin Qi, I truly never expected you to have such powerful research and development capabilities. Your decisiveness is just as impressive—to achieve such significant results in a single night truly puts my generation to shame."
"It is truly a blessing for our generation that the Dragon Country has you."
As Ding Yang praised Lin Qi, he quickly kicked Wang Qiang twice under the table.
The mission had been issued by Headquarters, and Wang Qiang was the one with all the details. Ding Yang wasn’t a specialist, and his understanding of the specifics, filtered through Wang Qiang’s retelling, was shallow.
Even now, Ding Yang had no idea if the rocket Lin Qi had come up with would actually meet their requirements.
Wang Qiang, now looking at Lin Qi, was thoroughly impressed.
