Chapter 376: Mass Production of Elites
Matthew was extremely patient with Yaya's involvement.
Even someone as exceptionally talented as Yaya found learning to be so difficult despite the numerous advantages Matthew provided.
It would undoubtedly be even harder for others!
It was better to let Yaya try repeatedly, letting her make all the mistakes that new learners might make.
One hour later.
The twentieth experimental subject completed the second surgery under Yaya's "assistance."
"Huh? Did it succeed?"
Yaya, with her strong nerves, turned her head, looking at Matthew with anticipation.
Looking at the experimental subject soaking in the nutrient solution, Matthew smiled and nodded:
"It succeeded. Well done."
The subject, originally a Level 4 warrior.
Not only did the super feat Steel Reinforced Bones manifest.
But his challenge rating also instantly jumped from Level 4 to Level 7+!
From an ordinary professional, he had become a powerful elite unit.
It should be noted that this was without learning the numerous feats of Bay Territory, without utilizing various weapons and equipment.
Simply put, the challenge rating was a measure of individual combat capability compared to an ordinary human professional.
Take the weak kobold, for example, even if their class level reached Level 4, their challenge rating compared to a human professional would only be around 2.
If they were an elite unit, like a kobold diviner or a draconic kobold.
Then their actual combat power would far surpass that of an ordinary Level 4 professional, and their challenge rating would reach 4+!
This meant that it would take multiple Level 4 professionals or even a small team to have a chance of defeating them.
Elite units represented the benchmark for combat strength at their level!
And some of the elites, true elite units, possessed combat power beyond their level!
Their challenge rating would rise by 2-4 levels!
Take the soldiers of Bay Territory, for instance.
They had mastered many feats and skills at their level and even a level above.
Their average class level had gradually reached Level 4, and their challenge rating could barely be considered 4+!
Even with enchanted gear and weapons, their challenge rating only floated up to about 5+!
They still only fell within the elite category!
After completing the first and second surgeries, they could move from an ordinary combat unit to a true elite spanning several tiers.
Even though he was prepared, Matthew was still shocked and pleasantly surprised.
If such results could be achieved with ordinary experimental subjects, it would be extraordinary when applied to Bay Territory soldiers.
However, Matthew wasn't considering that for now.
While surgical enhancements were excellent, the future impact remained unknown.
Matthew had prepared it as the last option for when their potential was fully exhausted.
However, that didn't stop Matthew from expanding the scope of the surgeries.
Yaya operated on another twenty people; apart from one weak individual, the rest survived.
Twelve of the subjects succeeded, successfully completing the second surgery.
For the last five subjects, Matthew began teaching Yaya how to maximize their potential activation and enhance the surgical effects.
Yaya, satisfied and eager, prepared to continue with more surgeries.
She intended to observe Matthew's surgical process, identify her shortcomings, and address her weaknesses.
As her understanding of the enhancement surgeries deepened, Yaya gradually began to comprehend the connection between the entire surgery and the human body.
At the same time, Yaya also began to feel a close connection between this surgery and the changes in her own body during this period.
Those profound and complex spell models and arcane knowledge made Yaya highly interested in these blood-based spells and modification surgeries.
Matthew noticed this, and under the terrified gaze of the other experimental subjects, he began teaching Yaya while performing surgeries.
"Although time is tight for these surgeries, time is on our side."
"Break down the entire surgical process into segments of varying difficulty, complete each segment carefully, and the overall effect will be excellent."
"For example, injecting the surgical potion into each bone."
"Small bones react quickly, so they can be interspersed during the reaction of larger bones."
"Based on the shape of larger bones, you can inject at both ends simultaneously, allowing the center and the periphery to react together."
"Manage time well, and the reactions and strengthening of the bones will be more stable..."
Hearing Matthew's detailed breakdown, Yaya's eyes lit up, and she examined the skeletal model carefully, gesturing at the terrified experimental subjects.
In less than half a day, Yaya had already become the second most terrifying existence in their minds, right after Matthew.
Their fear of her exceeded that of Matthew!
While guiding Yaya, Matthew gained a more detailed understanding of the entire surgical procedure and gathered more data.
For those experimental subjects who met the surgery standards, Matthew could now achieve an 80% success rate and a 100% survival rate.
Watching the survivors who had narrowly escaped death, Matthew continued to teach Yaya with a smile:
"Their sins can only be repaid by death; it is the right of the victims!"
In Bay Territory, no leniency was allowed!
Over the next three days.
Matthew performed the second surgery for 264 Bay Territory soldiers who had passed the first surgery.
Again, no one died, including fifty-three soldiers who barely passed the first surgery.
Two hundred soldiers succeeded in their surgeries, greatly enhancing their strength.
The effect of the surgeries was even better than Matthew had anticipated.
Excluding over a hundred soldiers with bodily deficiencies, severe injuries, and advanced age, the average challenge rating rose from Level 4 to Level 7+!
All of them completed the leap from ordinary soldiers to elites.
Mass production of elites achieved!
"Now is not the time to relax. In about a month, we will proceed with the third surgery."
"If the third surgery is successful, then the fourth surgery to activate self-healing will be essentially problem-free."
"By that time, you will have younger, stronger, and healthier bodies."
After receiving Matthew's instructions.
The soldiers, who had grown an average of fifteen centimeters taller, rested for three days.
They then followed his plan, striving to adapt and train.
The future was full of hope; no one wanted to be eliminated now.
After refining and summarizing the process of the second surgery, Matthew looked at the empty Fate Points reserve, and couldn't help but lick his lips:
"A man without sudden wealth cannot prosper, and a horse without night grazing won't grow strong. I must find a way to reap some rewards."
For others, suitable opportunities might be hard to come by, and finding suitable targets or opponents could be difficult.
But for Matthew, this was quite simple.
Because he had gathered many "tools."
Matthew issued a summons for all stewards, outstanding talents, and gifted potential figures in the territory to attend the Bay Territory Development Conference.
Ostensibly, the task of this meeting was to discuss the future development of Bay Territory, clarify everyone's tasks, and outline their directions for effort.
In reality, Matthew intended to harvest the "fortune" accumulated by the "tools!"
