Beating Instances through Words Left by the Dead-Chapter 455 - 236: Spiritual Ability Activation Surgery_3

Chapter 455: Chapter 236: Spiritual Ability Activation Surgery_3

In a certain sense, the power and capability of a ninth-level partner at Hymn Company can be considered as an Item.

Becoming a ninth-level partner means you’ve already left the realm of regular employees, no longer needing to worry about performance. Even if you do nothing, you can steadily receive the company’s profit sharing.

Aside from those with exceptionally strong technical skills or talents temporarily unable to leave, most ninth-level partners do not hold actual positions.

Wu Chang is the same. Back at the office, he needs to prepare for the handover. Once the new manager of the fully automated defense systems department is chosen, he needs to complete all business handover within three days.

For others, this time would surely be busy, but for Wu Chang, aside from handing over the manager’s seal, there is barely anything worthy of the handover.

Besides, in the past two days, Sean hasn’t done much worthy of a handover.

Just as he was contemplating how to spin a tale to continue motivating Fei Guang and others to work hard, his secretary suddenly knocked on his door, telling him the chairman wanted to see him.

This time, Schultz didn’t want him to go to the top office but to the 66th-floor Spiritual Power Activation Lab.

Wu Chang looked at the sign at the lab entrance, took a deep breath, unsure if he should go in.

He had seen the resentment of the Zou brothers and Farrell’s resentment. Whether transformed into Essence Armor or mutated into a Disqualified Monster, it all seemed inseparable from Spiritual Power Activation.

The Spiritual Ability Activation Surgery is publicly declared as a way to develop human potential, giving humans new possibilities.

But the advertisement does not mention whether this possibility is good or bad.

Schultz has always been kind to Sean, but one must remain cautious. What if after the Spiritual Ability Activation Surgery, Schultz adds a step to fast-track him into becoming Essence Armor or a Disqualified Monster? That would be quite a spectacle.

But giving up just like that would not only arouse Schultz’s suspicion, but he himself would also be quite reluctant.

According to public information collected by the Countermeasures Bureau, the Spiritual Ability Activation Surgery is one of the stable ways to obtain Reincarnation, and the obtained Reincarnation is bound to be extremely compatible with oneself.

The prototype for the Knight of Strife Reincarnation is the Secret Magic Knight. The positioning style is close-combat Mage with dual strengths in Power and Energy, more suitable for the True Self possessing a Sea Giant transformation.

His main body’s Reincarnation hasn’t been settled. Currently, the brain development-focused Spiritual Ability Activation Surgery that can only be performed on the main body is practically tailor-made for him; miss this chance, and it’s gone forever.

As he hesitated, a voice came from behind.

"Why aren’t you going in?"

Wu Chang turned around and saw Schultz walking towards him. Perhaps due to being possessed by Sean and influenced by Sean’s memory, he instinctively felt a sense of trust upon seeing Schultz.

Wu Chang decided to trust this feeling.

He smiled and said, "You didn’t let me undergo the Spiritual Ability Activation Surgery before. I often came here while on break, standing at the door wondering when I could go in. Now that you’re letting me in, I’m a bit nervous instead."

Schultz’s serious expression softened, and he said, "Come on, I’ll take you in."

Wu Chang: "Okay."

Schultz took Wu Chang to the surgery waiting area. The lab’s staff were all informed, and no one came to disturb them.

Schultz sat across from Wu Chang and said:

"Do you know why I previously didn’t agree to you undergoing the Spiritual Ability Activation Surgery?"

Wu Chang shook his head, "I don’t know, but you certainly have your reasons."

Schultz’s mouth slightly curled up, showing a hint of helplessness as he said: 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

"To regular people, the Spiritual Ability Activation Surgery is merely a way to develop personal potential and create a gap with them. But they don’t know that all gains inevitably come with costs."

"Spiritual Power Activation is the same. Those who undergo it gain powers beyond ordinary people, and naturally, they must bear the corresponding responsibilities. You weren’t ready for this before, but now you seem prepared."

Wu Chang tentatively asked, "After undergoing the Spiritual Power Activation, what kind of responsibilities will one bear?"

Given his current status as a ninth-level partner, recognized by Schultz, Wu Chang initially thought Schultz would talk about operating Essence Armor, or even becoming Essence Armor or a Disqualified Monster.

To his surprise, Schultz paused for a moment and then said: "Take on the responsibility of facing the worst possible future."

"Get out with your riddles!"

Wu Chang very much wanted to retort Schultz, but his Inspiration told him that Schultz was telling the truth, and it was the literal truth, with no riddles.

His knitted brows slowly relaxed, and he didn’t continue probing. The more he came into contact, the more he felt Schultz was not simple.

Seeing Wu Chang had nothing more to say, Schultz patted Wu Chang on the shoulder and said:

"If you’re ready, then go in. It’s just a minor surgery, no need to be afraid."

As he changed into surgical robes, Wu Chang discontentedly said, "I’m not afraid of the operation anymore."

Schultz pouted, "The company’s hospital director told me that previously, when you needed to have a wisdom tooth extracted, you were only willing to go after being notified three times since it required surgery."

Wu Chang clicked his tongue, "Nosy guy."

As he lay in the surgical pod, a large amount of liquid was injected from around him. The special liquid quickly made Wu Chang relax, his body gradually feeling buoyant, entering a different kind of anesthesia.

The color of the liquid was different from the one in the Zou brothers’ resentment, allowing him to further ease his mind.

Through the transparent glass of the surgical pod, he could see Schultz standing outside, constantly monitoring the instrument’s parameters, looking very attentive.

If Schultz really wanted to harm him, there was no need to personally take action. There shouldn’t be any problems, should there?

When the special liquid filled the surgical pod, he saw several small mechanical arms extending around him, piercing into his skin from the back of his neck.

The mechanical arms were very tiny, almost imperceptible as foreign objects pierced through.

However, through the method of Introspection, Wu Chang could clearly see the mechanical arms entering his brain, making alterations to a certain region.

He couldn’t distinguish exactly what was being altered, but he could feel that as the mechanical arms worked, his senses became sharper, as if a film enveloping him was being pierced and torn open.

Just as the mechanical arms were about to successfully pierce through the membrane, the surgical pod suddenly flashed red, and the surgical room emitted a piercing alarm.

"Alarm, unknown error occurred during surgery! Please immediately stop the surgery!"
