Chapter 1173: Chapter 1173: Additional Perks of Solidified Skills

(Thanks to Fujin and the Color Cow eating young grass for the encouragement of monthly tickets)

The development of events is pretty much as everyone expected, and this upcoming surgery has become a hot topic throughout the entire Second Hospital.

Anyway, ever since Liu Banxia went to work, many people have been talking about this matter.

Although Director Xiao from the inpatient department is coming to perform the surgery, we shouldn’t forget Liu Banxia’s own surgical tasks.

This is an extremely challenging collaborative surgery, and if Liu Banxia can handle it, it will indirectly prove that his current surgical skills are really strong.

"Director Liu, today you should rest up in the office and contemplate the surgical plan. Leave the other matters to us; you don’t need to worry," Qi Wentai said.

"Alright, then I won’t stand on ceremony with you guys. This surgery has too many variables; I have to consider more plans," Liu Banxia said.

"Don’t worry, this time, we’ll ensure your surgery won’t experience any interference," Qi Wentai said with a smile.

"After you got off work, we held a small meeting. Even if this surgery doesn’t make it to the news, it is certainly something we can be proud of. This was the consensus, so today you should just stay in the office," Qi Wentai continued.

"Haha, you’re making me feel a bit touched. I’ll leave it all to you then, and focus on studying the surgical plan," Liu Banxia said with a smile and nodded.

He indeed felt very touched in his heart. Everyone spontaneously having this kind of thinking is the best support for him.

No need for any flattering words; support is in these details.

Settling into his seat, he began to calculate.

The general situation of the surgery is already deeply ingrained in his mind. Last night before going to sleep, he even simulated operations in dream space for a few hours.

But the unique aspect of this surgery is whether the encapsulation will rupture on its own.

This is uncontrollable, so even though he has trained, his confidence isn’t very high.

He felt he needed to give himself some confidence. How to give it? Of course, by solidifying skills.

He brought up the panel.

Liu Banxia: Level 63, 239815/240680

Title: Respected Surgeon

Mental: 80 points (Understanding, Memory, Focus increased by 42.86%)

Agility: 80 points (Stability, Speed, Tactile Sensitivity increased by 48.15%)

Strength: 78 points (Power, Instrument Mastery, Instrument Effectiveness increased by 81.40%)

Endurance: 60 points (Tolerance, Stamina increased by 53.85%)

Attribute Points: 5 points

Solidification Stones: 26 pieces

Glory Points: 1870 points

Dressing Technique: Level 5

Suturing Technique: Level 5

Diagnostics: Level 5

Current gem embedding situation: two Mental, one Agility, two Strength, one Endurance. All are delicate gems, each adding 8 attribute points.

Compared to his original Mental value of 56 points, Agility value of 54 points, Strength value of 43 points, and Endurance value of 39 points, he allocated 8 points to Mental, 18 points to Agility, 19 points to Strength, and 13 points to Endurance among these four attributes.

Through his thoughts last night, he felt these four attributes don’t operate in isolation. Instead, they work in "mutual cooperation," allowing him to reach a very good operating state.

In his perspective, the most foundational among these four attributes that can influence the other two is Mental and Endurance.

During surgery, it won’t work without adequate focus, as it easily leads to distraction and affects operations. Additionally, lack of sufficient stamina during surgery is ineffective.

While this surgery won’t take a long time, the stamina consumption for him can be exceptionally large.

Especially when it’s his turn to begin the surgery, a little lack of support may potentially affect surgical operations.

Hence, he is somewhat conflicted now, whether to solidify Mental or Endurance.

He feels that solidified attribute values will have a much better effect than what gems or skill points provide.

However, he has never validated this, and this is the first time — he doesn’t have much Glory Points to waste, needing a decisive two-choice profit.

There are two options: The first is solidifying Mental, with enough Attribute Points. The second is solidifying Endurance, needing to adjust embedded gems for coordination.

Facing some decision paralysis, for his Glory Points, it’s a two-choice profit with no experimentation or opportunity for waste.

After contemplating, he believed solidifying Mental was better.

During the operation, maintaining high concentration is necessary. Although he needs to buy two delicate stones later for embedding, he can initially check the effect after solidifying, to see whether one should go to Endurance.

Despite just having decision paralysis, once he made a decision, he promptly selected solidify skill.

Beep! Please choose the attribute value to solidify.

Seeing the four options pop up, Liu Banxia selected Mental.

Beep! Select Attribute Point Quantity

Another dialog popped up, and Liu Banxia input the number 8.

Beep! Please note, this solidification requires using 8 Skill Points, 8 Solidification Stones, 1600 Glory Points. Upon successful solidification, embedded gems will be automatically destroyed.

For further solidification, attribute Skill Points reset and need re-solidification.

Beep! Do you want to select solidify capability? YES/NO

Looking at the dialog box in front, Liu Banxia sighed in his heart.

Now, I truly understand what it means to reset skill points.

It means that this time, the mental attribute points are solidified, and even if any points are solidified next time, the previously solidified ones are reset to zero.

This also implies that the next solidification is entirely new and still requires a lot of Glory Points and solidification stones for support.

But for him right now, there really is no other choice.

After all, once surgeries accumulate in the future, both Glory Points and solidification stones will be obtainable.

He’s contemplating the system’s intention; it’s about taking the solidification seriously.

The only comfort is that the previously selected attribute points are included, without requiring additional consumption of attribute points. Otherwise, it would be a losing proposition; upgrading is so difficult.

No matter what the system’s idea is, Liu Banxia chose YES.

Ding! Solidification begins...

With the prompt sounding, a radiance emerged in Liu Banxia’s field of vision, growing larger to the point he couldn’t see the interface.

Ding! Solidification successful

Consumed 8 attribute points, 8 solidification stones, 1600 Glory Points, and destroyed two exquisite sapphires

After the prompt, Liu Banxia checked his attribute panel.

Liu Banxia: Level 63, 239815/240680

Title: Respected Surgeon

Mental: 64 points (Understanding, Memory, Focus, Calmness enhancement 0.00%)

Agility: 80 points (Stability, Speed, Touch enhancement 48.15%)

Strength: 78 points (Strength, Instrument Mastery, Instrument Effect enhancement 81.40%)

Endurance: 60 points (Endurance, Stamina enhancement 53.85%)

Attribute Points: 5 points

Solidification Stones: 26 pieces

Glory Points: 270 points

Dressing Technique: Level 5

Suturing: Level 5

Diagnostics: Level 5

He slightly felt it, seeming to detect no difference from usual.

Then he froze; logically, he should feel disappointed, right?

Only then did he notice the mental column, besides understanding, memory, and focus, there was a fourth additional attribute, "Calmness."

After seeing it clearly, Liu Banxia forcefully waved his arm.

This is the effect brought by solidification, and it’s a control over emotions.

During surgery or receiving emergency patients, it is necessary to remain sufficiently calm. Only then can the situations on the scene be accurately assessed to provide the patients with the best treatment.

This is the hidden effect of solidified skills.

Since the mental attribute is solidified now, what about solidifying other attributes in the future? Will new additional attributes be developed?

After being thrilled for a moment, he exchanged for an exquisite sapphire and directly embedded it.

Ding! Successfully embedded exquisite sapphire, gained 8 mental points, now 72 points (Understanding, Memory, Focus, Calmness enhancement 12.50%)

Looking at this effect prompt, Liu Banxia was very satisfied.

He thought slightly; to ensure the success of this surgery, don’t begrudge the hundred Glory Points, continue exchanging.

After exchanging another one, now the mental points were back to 80, but the feeling in his heart was already completely different.

As for endurance, let’s not worry about it for now. If it doesn’t work, there are still 5 free attribute points, which can be temporarily allocated to endurance when needed.

To put it bluntly, solidification is a process of strengthening and point-resetting. It just requires a lot of Glory Points and solidification stones, and the cost is somewhat high.

But for himself, these efforts are worthwhile.

Each additional attribute in the system’s attributes is extremely important. By maintaining this calmness, even in unexpected situations, you still have time to react.

The reason for describing them as "unexpected" implies these uncontrollable things are beyond your expectations. No matter who it is, there’s a momentary pause in thinking during that instant; it’s just a matter of time.

Some people are frightened and frozen at the operating table when encountering unexpected situations, putting the patient in danger. Some handle such unexpected situations well, maintaining enough "calmness."

Anyway, Liu Banxia now feels revitalized, roaming around with hands behind, observing the interns’ operations east and west, offering a few words now and then.

"Senior Sister, have you noticed, Teacher Liu seems a bit different?" Chen Dongmei leaned towards Xu Yino.

"What’s different?" Xu Yino asked curiously.

"I’m not sure how to put it; anyway, I feel when talking with Teacher Liu, it’s like facing those directors. It’s just that feeling, weird," Chen Dongmei reflected.

Xu Yino was a bit confused; what kind of feeling was this?

But what made her a bit annoyed was the feedback from other interns and resident doctors was similar; all said Teacher Liu seemed to have "changed."

Some said he was more authoritative, some said he was more composed, and others said since Teacher Liu came, they no longer feared being reprimanded.

All sorts of mixed situations coming together really made Xu Yino laugh and cry.
