Chapter 31: One Good Deed a Day

Zhou Jiaoshou was moved by what Ji Xiang said; what man doesn't have a dream of mecha?

Compared to the "pale, thin, and young" aesthetic, mecha is more aesthetically pleasing.

So he clapped his hands in agreement, slightly excited.

But as soon as the words left his mouth, he realized something was wrong and quickly stopped.

"Doctor Xiao Ji, right?" Zhou Jiaoshou Tianbo felt a bit awkward and tried his best to squeeze out a smile, "You really know how to joke."

"I was just stating my own thoughts; they don't represent all young people, but they should have some reference value."

"Reference value?" Dean Li was very disdainful.

"Mecha is just one of them. When I applied to medical school, my thought at the time was..."

"To heal the wounded and rescue the dying? Or to install mecha?" The mockery at the corner of Dean Li's mouth grew a bit thicker.

"Neither. I was pondering that besides body parts like elbows, humans should also have offensive means, such as bone blades. Perhaps the treatment of bone hyperplasia caused this offensive means in humans to disappear, so I was preparing to study it."

"..."

"..."

"..."

The three middle-aged and elderly men in the room were dumbfounded.

This line of thinking from Ji Xiang was truly bizarre as hell.

But thinking about it carefully, what Ji Xiang said seemed to have a bit of twisted logic.

"I wish you a successful surgery tomorrow." Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, and that the oppressive atmosphere of Dean Li secretly beating around the bush and trying to persuade him had been swept away, Mo Jiaoshou felt grateful and stood up to say to Zhou Jiaoshou, "I will come to watch Gu's surgery tomorrow."

"You are welcome." Zhou Jiaoshou also cast the mecha aside, stood up, and said with a smile.

Dean Li was a bit annoyed; he had originally wanted to use the momentum of Professor Gu coming for a Flying Knife Surgery to persuade Mo Chenggui to agree to perform Extension Surgery.

Mo Chenggui was just like a rock in a latrine, both smelly and hard.

He refuses to perform a high-paying surgery like Extension Surgery and spends his days cutting foreskins—he must have a hole in his head!

Not just him, even the student he brought had water in his brain.

But the originally serious topic had been led astray by that young man, actually dragging it off to something like mecha; the topic couldn't continue, so it naturally lost its meaning.

Forget it.

Dean Li sent Mo Chenggui and Ji Xiang out the door, then turned back and sighed.

"Zhou Jiaoshou, what do you think?"

"Heh heh, that young man named Ji Xiang is quite interesting." Zhou Jiaoshou covered up his inner awkwardness.

Ji Xiang's words had touched his heart.

That kind of cool mecha-girl is really attractive; if there were an Inner Mode and it could go Berserk and undergo Beastification... if such a thing really existed, he would definitely hold it and sleep with it every day, never leaving it for a second.

*Slurp*, Zhou Jiaoshou sucked in a mouthful of saliva.

Tsk tsk, Inner Mode, Beastification, Berserk—simply perfect!

Ji Xiang and Mo Chenggui arrived at the operating room.

"Doctor Xiao Ji, thanks." Mo Jiaoshou thanked him indifferently.

"Mo Jiaoshou, may I ask, why are you unwilling to perform Extension Surgery? Is it just because of the indications?"

Actually, Ji Xiang still wanted to perform Extension Surgery.

Victoria Andrology Hospital clearly had a source of patients.

Whether it makes money or not means nothing to someone like Ji Xiang; he cares more about grinding surgical experience, proficiency, and leveling up.

If it weren't for feeling Dahai's emotions at the time, as well as the very annoying complications, Ji Xiang would definitely have stood on the side of Dean Li and Zhou Jiaoshou.

"It was chaotic in the past few years." Mo Jiaoshou said in a deep voice while walking, "The higher-ups stopped allocating funds, and the hospital couldn't pay wages all of a sudden, so many public hospitals outsourced their Urology Departments."

"The methods back then were low-level; the simplest practice was to insist on giving patients Baking Therapy after cutting the foreskin. I've seen many cases of necrosis. Maybe I'm old and can't adapt to the new environment." Mo Jiaoshou said halfway and began to mock himself.

Ji Xiang frowned slightly. He didn't respond, but took the opportunity while changing clothes to find a quiet place, held his breath, and entered the System Space.

The System NPC seemed to have never moved; he stood in the corridor with his hands behind his back and his waist hunched, looking at Ji Xiang with a smile.

"Teacher."

"What is it?"

Ji Xiang told the System NPC about what he had seen and heard today.

"Teacher, what is your take on Extension Surgery?" Ji Xiang asked.

The System NPC shook his head, "I have no opinion."

"Ah?" Ji Xiang was startled.

In his consciousness, this System NPC was a top-tier Surgeon, and even his diagnostics were so awesome that they reached the Extreme Point, with no one able to see his back.

Yet for such a simple matter, the System NPC actually said he had no thoughts. Ji Xiang had originally wanted him to help strengthen his own confidence.

"You have to look at the specific path yourself. I don't really like performing plastic surgery—of course, that doesn't include patients with facial burns. But once, after I finished surgery on a girl with burns, many of her friends came to find me through connections after she recovered."

As the System NPC said this, a helpless smile appeared on his face.

"Teacher..."

Ji Xiang truly felt that the System NPC was humble-bragging at every moment.

He spoke very vaguely, but Ji Xiang could understand.

A disfigured girl's appearance was elevated to a new level after the System NPC's miraculous hands, and perhaps there were other buffs like looking quite natural.

Ji Xiang felt that this conversation couldn't go on.

"I'm very busy; there are many critically ill patients waiting for me to perform surgery. Who has time to do plastic surgery?" The System NPC sighed and said, "But whose patient isn't a patient, and whose child isn't the apple of their eye?"

"Then what did you do in the end?" Ji Xiang asked curiously.

"So, Zhou Congwen worked with others to create this Brain-Computer Interface Learning System," the System NPC smiled.

Zhou Congwen, this was the Nth time Ji Xiang had heard this name, but he had gone home and searched online, and there was absolutely no trace of this person ever existing.

Who knows, perhaps they are a great power from another world.

"I won't ramble on anymore; they all say behind my back that I like to brainwash, feed people chicken soup for the soul, and preach grand principles."

"I think it's fine, Teacher, could you say more?"

The System NPC glanced at Ji Xiang, "Let's just go out. I can't grasp the surgical indications for Extension Surgery either. Just like breast augmentation or plastic surgery, you tell me, does it improve the patient's future quality of life?"

"This kind of speculative matter is very complicated."

"It mainly depends on what you think yourself."

Ji Xiang felt a bit lost after what the System NPC said and left the System Space.

After changing his clothes, Ji Xiang saw that Mo Chenggui's expression was solemn, so he asked, "Mo Jiaoshou, who is the Teacher Gu you mentioned earlier?"

"A big shot in domestic Urology Department. If you have read the Urology Department textbook... he is the deputy editor-in-chief."

"!!!"

Ji Xiang was stunned for a moment.

The System NPC had told him to read the third edition of "Urology Department", and the deputy editor-in-chief was indeed surnamed Gu. He hadn't expected that such a big shot who wrote textbooks would actually come to perform Flying Knife, doing a "minor" surgery like Extension Surgery.

"Zhou Jiaoshou is also very impressive." Mo Chenggui had been lectured by the young man today and was feeling slightly down; he gossiped with Ji Xiang after changing his clothes.

"Oh, please tell me in detail."

"He graduated with an undergraduate degree and was doing his Standardized Residency Training at Teacher Gu's hospital. In the first year of Standardized Residency Training, you have to take the Practicing Physician Qualification exam, you know."

Ji Xiang nodded.

"Supposedly, Teacher Gu hasn't taken on students for a long time," Mo Jiaoshou said. "Do you know why?"

"There are too many people pulling strings to find Teacher Gu; offending anyone would be bad."

Mo Chenggui had just asked offhandedly, but he hadn't expected to hear the correct answer from Ji Xiang's mouth.

"How do you know?"

"My grandmother was sick a long time ago, and she saw an Expert in domestic Neurological Intervention. I heard it from my family. They said that when the reform and opening up first started, a domestic giant made an exception and recruited 8 vocational students, and in the end, their success rate was quite high.

It seems that the big shots in domestic Neurological Intervention are all students of those few vocational students."

Mo Chenggui actually didn't know the gossip Ji Xiang was talking about!

This made Mo Chenggui quite bewildered.

As an old senior, shouldn't he be the one leaving Ji Xiang stunned? How did it seem to be the other way around?

"Mo Jiaoshou, what happened later?" Ji Xiang pressed.

Mo Jiaoshou smiled helplessly, not bothering to investigate whether what Ji Xiang said was true or false, and continued, "Zhou Jiaoshou's score on the Practicing Physician Qualification exam was the highest in the country, missing a perfect score by just a little!"

"Impressive!"

Ji Xiang exclaimed in admiration.

"So when Gu Lao learned that this Standardized Training Student was in his hospital, he was moved and decided to observe him."

"But why is Zhou Jiaoshou here with us?"

"To perform Kidney Transplant," Mo Jiaoshou stood up and led Ji Xiang into the operating room.

"Mo Jiaoshou is here," the young and beautiful Nurse greeted Mo Jiaoshou.

Actually, private hospitals are countless times better than the Second Affiliated Hospital, at least in terms of the nurses' looks.

And their attitude is also much better than the Second Affiliated Hospital.

"How many surgeries today?"

"19."

"Then let's begin." Mo Jiaoshou and Ji Xiang went to scrub in.

"Wang Daxiao didn't come?" the Nurse asked while preparing things.

"He has something to take care of at home, so I brought Ji Xiang."

The Nurse stole a glance; Ji Xiang's 1.88-meter height was particularly eye-catching.

Although she couldn't see his face behind the cap and mask, the Nurse had already preemptively decided that Ji Xiang's looks were top-tier, quite top-tier, and her favorability rating maxed out instantly.

But she didn't interact with Ji Xiang, instead preparing the items needed for the surgery in a very professional and efficient manner.

After scrubbing in, Ji Xiang began to disinfect the surgical area.

"It's a bit cold, not painful, don't be afraid," Ji Xiang said to the Patient with a smile.

"Doctor, I'm not afraid," the Patient said.

"University student?"

"Yeah, sophomore," the Patient said. "It's vacation, and I was thinking..."

After all, with the Nurse present, the Patient was thin-skinned, and on top of being nervous, their speech was stuttering.

"Don't be nervous, having this surgery is for the sake of doing one good deed a day," Ji Xiang said with a smile. "You can't just go around doing good deeds when you get back, at least wait 21 days, remember that."

Mo Chenggui was a bit confused; what does a circumcision have to do with doing good deeds? How did Ji Xiang's mouth lead to this?

"Pfft." The young Nurse couldn't hold it in and burst out laughing.

"I'm serious, don't laugh," Ji Xiang said. "Scars are a man's medals; in the future, when you do one good deed a day, you can..."

What followed was the set of comforting words for the Patient that Mo Jiaoshou was familiar with.

But everything was so unfamiliar.

Mo Jiaoshou felt a bit dazed; he felt that ever since Ji Xiang arrived, the life he was familiar with, which had never changed, had undergone a earth-shattering transformation.
