Lin Qi gave the master's brother a nod of approval with his eyes.
Lin Qi didn't consider himself a leader. To get survivors to work for him, Lin Qi had two advantages:
Mastery of extraordinary powers, and mastery of technological advantage.
These two points were crucial for survival in the apocalypse. Mastering them meant controlling all the survivors.
Lin Qi spoke, "Exactly, we need weapons, we need power!"

"Since the outbreak, I believe those who responded to the first official broadcast have discovered that consuming Crimson Crystals can strengthen our physical condition."
"Furthermore, after being exposed to the Scarlet Moon, a very small number of people have gained more special powers, which I call extraordinary powers."
Lin Qi looked at Xia Chu, who understood immediately.
A half-empty bottle of mineral water was manipulated by Xia Chu, freezing into ice and hovering beside her.
Most survivors looked surprised, while a few seemed to realize something.
Among the more than 300 survivors, a small number of lucky individuals had become extraordinary, with varied abilities.
Lin Qi continued, "Fortunately, I am one of those very few people. Unfortunately, my extraordinary power is very weak; it only enhanced my intelligence. That's why I designed and built the Exoskeleton and mechs."
Lin Qi found an excuse for the source of his technology.
It was crude, but under the circumstances, it was enough to convince people.
A smart master's student in automotive engineering immediately spoke up, "Big brother, you're too humble. Intelligence is the most powerful thing; intelligence is what makes humans supreme."
Lin Qi looked at the master's brother again. The brother had great potential.
The master's brother understood and said, "Please teach us, big brother!"
With the brother's presence, Lin Qi's speech became much easier.
"I hope we, the survivors of Modu University, can unite. I will also share some Exoskeleton designs."
"The experimental workshop on the sixth floor has already been renovated, and the materials college warehouse has a large stock of metal."
"All survivors in science and engineering, please follow me to the experimental workshop."
At this point, Lin Qi didn't need to say much more.
The survivors of Modu University already had a strong will to survive, and this first batch of rescued survivors possessed top-tier initiative.
With just one call to action, over two hundred survivors stood up.
Looking at the ratio, it seemed that the survival rate of science and engineering students was much higher than that of liberal arts students.
However, it was also possible that Modu University had more science and engineering students than liberal arts students.
Lin Qi looked in the direction of the master's brother. "Brother, come with me for a moment."
While calling the master's brother over, Lin Qi also instructed Xia Chu to arrange living quarters for the survivors.
Lin Qi couldn't possibly teach over two hundred survivors one-on-one.
Lin Qi was very busy tonight, not only with survivor affairs but also using his Wizard abilities to analyze Extraordinary Items.
In the Cyber World, Lin Qi faced even bigger problems. Lin Qi knew what was more important.
The master's brother quickly came to Lin Qi's side.
"Hello, my name is Lin Qi," Lin Qi extended his hand.
Having lived two lives, Lin Qi didn't reject a handshake. He had only refused Si Ying earlier because he simply disliked the person.
The master's brother was emotionally charged. "Hello, big brother. My name is Wang Ziru."
Hearing the name, Lin Qi paused, then smiled.
A good name!
This name sounded like it belonged to a capable person.
"Brother Wang, to be honest, although I have some insights in terms of technology, I am not good at management."
"Now that we have gathered over 300 survivors, it's quite a sizable survivor base. From your conversation, I can tell your technical level is not only at the master's level, but you should also be very capable in management."
Wang Ziru immediately put on a touched expression. "Thank you for your trust, big brother. To be honest, I'm not a full-time student. I've been a senior manager at the frontline automotive company Gemi Group for a long time. If you trust me, I will do my best to assist you."
A talent!
As expected of Modu (Shanghai) University, there were so many talented people.
Lin Qi naturally chose to trust him. In the context of the apocalypse, all power came from strength.
As long as he possessed strength, Lin Qi wouldn't have to worry too much.
Moreover, Lin Qi's goal was never to become a king or conqueror. Lin Qi just needed enough people to help him search for traces of Extraordinary Items.
He handed a laptop to Wang Ziru. "Inside are two simple designs for electric-powered Exoskeletons that I've designed. With the equipment and materials in the workshop, we can produce over a hundred sets. In the folder on the bottom right of the desktop, there's also a design for an Electromagnetic Pistol."
"The designs are simple; you just need to follow the steps to produce and assemble them."
"This task is yours, Brother. Produce enough equipment as quickly as possible. Zombies change much faster than we imagine, and we need to acquire more resources to produce more powerful weapons."
"I plan to turn the Magic University into an apocalyptic fortress, waiting for the rescue team to rendezvous with us."
Wang Ziru's eyes gleamed, "Boss, over 300 people is a bit insufficient. Once we craft our equipment, we'll need to continue rescuing those on the outer fringes..."
Lin Qi interrupted, "You handle the arrangements."
Time was tight, and the sky had already darkened. Only six hours remained until the [Door]'s cooldown.
In the Cyber World, Lin Qi could choose not to activate the [Door]. However, in the apocalyptic world, the [Door] would immediately send Lin Qi back to the Cyber World upon completing its cooldown.
Lin Qi needed to analyze and absorb a crystal to enhance his Wizard power before returning to the Cyber World.
Greenland City held too many dangers; his First Rank Wizard power was far from enough for self-preservation.
After bidding farewell to Wang Ziru, Lin Qi instructed Xia Chu, "Stay by Wang Ziru's side and keep an eye on things. I need to think about new designs."
Xia Chu nodded in agreement. The entire camp's operation relied entirely on Lin Qi's advanced designs; this was fundamental to their survival.
Entering an empty room, Lin Qi sat in a chair.
Three crystals lay before him.
"Which one should I analyze?"
"The extraordinary abilities a Wizard gains through analysis have a certain correlation with the Extraordinary Item itself. While not exactly the same, the direction is consistent."
"Speed, strength, mental power. It seems the upper limit for mental power might be higher, but it's not urgent for now. The fourth ability slot for a First Rank Wizard can be reserved for mental aspects."
"What I need now is a life-saving ability."
"Speed, that's the real necessity. I have an entire apocalyptic world to acquire resources from. Only by staying alive can I gain greater power in the future."
After his thoughts concluded, Lin Qi chose the pink crystal.
Within his Psychic Vision, the Wizard's bizarre, tentacle-like mental power came into contact with the pink crystal.
The mental power slowly seeped into it.
Analysis.
This was an innate talent unique to the Wizard, an ability the Wizard himself couldn't fully comprehend.
After an unknown period, the pink crystal quietly vanished, and a brand-new power was mastered by Lin Qi.
"I thought it would be speed, but this ability... seems a bit exaggerated. Is this a First Rank?"
