Beating Instances through Words Left by the Dead

Chapter 457: Chapter 237: Talent: Condensing Void into Reality! (Part 2)

”The uniqueness of Sean’s brain is simply unprecedented. My preliminary estimate suggests that transforming Sean’s brain would require elevating the technology to Level Eight. So, my suggestion is to terminate the surgery now.”

In the past, the difficulties faced in spiritual power activation surgeries were often due to the client’s poor foundation, making it impossible to salvage no matter how it was modified.

But this kind of poor foundation has its limits. At most, a client might come in with a sphere on their face or wearing a gourd, which is already the highest difficulty.

However, Wu Chang’s situation is different. Wu Chang’s brain is like a face with three faces growing on it. Hughes had a hard time trimming the frontal face to a score of nine, but when he turned to the side, he found it wasn’t the jawline that needed attention, but another face entirely.

Hughes had only learned how to perform cosmetic surgery on one face, not on someone with three faces. He didn’t even know what the beauty standard for a client with three faces and a score of nine was.

Not only did he not know, but the AI didn’t know either.

As Hughes spoke, sweat was still streaming down his forehead. Sean’s brain had already shattered his understanding of medicine, and even of human nature.

He originally thought he had glimpsed the true meaning of Life, only to find that he was standing on a castle in the air. This sudden change caused his emotions to crumble somewhat.

Schultz noticed Hughes’ unstable status and calmly said, ”You don’t need to worry about Sean. Humans have existed for millions of years, with accumulations reaching hundreds of billions. There are bound to be a few peculiar ones; one or two, a hundred or two hundred, it’s possible.”

”What we need to focus on is the vast majority of humanity. There’s no need to waste effort on extreme cases. Go and rest, I’ll take over from here.”

Hearing Schultz’s guidance, Hughes’ expression, twisted from frustration and confusion, gradually eased up.

Hughes understood Schultz’s meaning. He knew he shouldn’t get caught up in individual cases. Without performance targets in the future, he would have ample time to study Wu Chang’s brain in his free time.

Looking at the surgery that was halfway through, he hesitatingly asked, ”Chairman, should I terminate this surgery for now?”

Schultz shook his head, ”You don’t have to worry about the next steps.”

”Huh?” Hughes was a bit bewildered, thinking, ”If I don’t handle it, who else can? In the entire Hymn Company, who dares claim they can deal with a surgery that even I can’t complete?”

Could it be, Chairman, that you’re going to do it yourself?

His medical confidence made Hughes somewhat dissatisfied with Schultz’s words, but upon meeting Schultz’s gaze, the discontent within him instantly dissipated. He obediently said:

”I’ll be outside, and if you need me, I can assist at any time.”

Exiting the operating room, Hughes took a deep breath, realizing his back was drenched with sweat.

The gaze exchange with Schultz was even more impactful than the stimulation Sean’s brain gave him. That feeling was like looking up at a towering mountain.

A thought suddenly crossed Hughes’ mind: perhaps Chairman Schultz really could pull it off.

The Spiritual Ability Activation Surgery was a technique he developed with a team, following Schultz’s guidance, after being invited by Schultz.

Theoretically speaking, spiritual power activation surgery should not have existed before he joined the Hymn Company, and no matter how talented one was, a genius could only be naturally lively in the Talent zone. It’s impossible to achieve full development of the Talent zone without modification.

However, in the years he had known Schultz, Schultz’s many traits, such as his abnormal reading speed and endless stream of peculiar ideas, indicated that he had definitely undergone spiritual power activation.

Even the concept of the spiritual power activation surgery was first suggested by Schultz.

So who performed the spiritual power activation surgery for him?

Hughes shuddered, not daring to delve deeper into the thought.

Inside the operating room, Schultz connected the operating system to the AI, and on the other end, linked it to himself.

He modified the surgical mode such that he provided the strategy, while the AI translated his methods into actual operations.

The actual operation of the surgery couldn’t be compensated through knowledge alone. Fortunately, the AI had recorded enough surgeries to use as a tool, even though it couldn’t yet complete complex spiritual power activation surgeries independently.

Gazing at the screen, Schultz murmured to himself;

”Is there a way to completely transform Sean’s brain?”

”I don’t want to know the degree of difficulty; I only need to know whether it can be done or not.”

”Don’t worry about the Spiritual Light. I’ve accumulated enough over the years, more than sufficient for this surgery.”

Schultz appeared to be in a listening posture, and after a moment, he slightly furrowed his brow.

”It will affect the progress of that matter, which is indeed a problem. But that’s alright; I’ll think of other solutions if it comes to that. Let’s begin.”

Once Schultz made his decision, the robotic arm, which had been paused on the screen, commenced movement. Its speed was far faster than when operated by Hughes, indicating the commands it received were dense and precise.

The spiritual ability activation surgery for ordinary people lasts five to six minutes, or up to half an hour. But Wu Chang’s spiritual ability activation surgery lasted a full twelve hours.

Completing just one spiritual ability activation surgery on Wu Chang seemed equivalent to nearly a hundred, but the actual consumption was far more than that.

Only Schultz knew how much he expended to complete this surgery. Forget about a hundred people; even draining a thousand individuals who had undergone spiritual power activation surgery would find it hard to compensate for the Spiritual Light he consumed.

Despite all this, it was all worth it.

As the robotic arm gradually came to a halt, the once tireless Schultz, capable of working continuously for a month during his peak, showed signs of fatigue on his face.
