Chapter 354
Matt sat in his office as he tried not to look at the vast fields of rifts visible outside his window.
Things had been going far better than he could have ever hoped. Kees ran a tight ship and kept everything on task, and the things Matt needed to deal with on a weekly basis amounted to a few hours of work, but those hours were precious.
Now that the other aperologists were settled in and working, the guild was crunching through rifts and rift testing at an incredible speed, and they all felt they were close to the breakthrough of creating other types of aura rifts besides those of the basic elements. Team three had been on such a roll that Matt’s competitiveness was nagging him to beat them, and time spent in his office wasn’t conducive to winning.
This was, however, what he had signed up for when he decided to create a guild. And he couldn’t complain too much when Kees was handling ninety nine percent of the work.
And there were some interesting ideas coming out of the various departments.
A few years might not be a lot of time, but a year and a nearly unlimited budget was a recipe to create miracles.
Or at least the seeds of them.
The alchemy team had developed a prototype for a new Tier 10 durability potion that lasted a full four hours, which was a full thirty percent increase of the current potions on the market. Better yet, the only side effect was explosive diarrhea, which they were confident in fixing with some more tweaks to the formula. After that, it was just a process of simplifying the formula and standardizing the steps so Tier 10 or 12 alchemists could produce it.
He hoped they would then be able to downstep the potion to at least Tier 5, but for only having a year of time it was a great first step. Matt had publicly rewarded the team in question with their bonus.
