Chapter 38: with translation of chapter title

Two people heard the cry for help, turned back to rescue Director Liu, a mess of chicken feathers.

Liu Tianxing was fine, just angry. Zheng Ren felt Director Pan's retorts had the style of Zhuge Liang, and didn't think this matter had anything to do with him.

Director Pan gave him time off, letting Zheng Ren go home to catch up on sleep.

Although only two or three days had passed, Zheng Ren felt as if he had been separated from the world.

First came Professor Senyu's surgery controversy, then he was possessed by the system, then threatened with extermination, and he worked at the hospital for nearly 30 hours. Originally, if there were still surgeries, Zheng Ren would have prepared to drink that bottle of energy potion.

But since the body seemed still able to support, he decided to conserve a bit.

He didn't feel tired while at the hospital, but as soon as he got home, his whole body felt heavy, and the fatigue accumulated from 30 hours of tense surgery welled up.

Xiao Zhao, who shared the rental, was live streaming.

He is a food-eating livestreamer, bought a pile of seafood at the seafood market, stewed it, and is now eating while the livestream continues.

Zheng Ren carefully avoided the field of view, made a gesture to say hello, and returned to his own room.

The cold, monotonous mechanical female voice did not appear; Zheng Ren took a deep breath of the fresh air in the System Space, like described in an elementary school text, refreshing the heart and spleen, and his energy seemed to have recovered somewhat.

However, this was just speculation, with no systemic data manifestation.

Combine: "【8】 First came Professor Senyu's surgery controversy, then he was possessed by the system, then threatened with extermination, and he worked at the hospital for nearly 30 hours. Originally, if there were still surgeries, Zheng Ren would have prepared to drink that bottle of energy potion."

A child accustomed to poverty from childhood, like a mouse overwintering, prepares various foods so as not to fail to survive the cold winter and freeze to death in the cold wind.

This is the stockpile; after tallying, Zheng Ren began to ponder the reward given by the mission system 【Hostility from Peers】—advanced training in the System Operating Room for 20.83 days.

This is a tremendous reward.

During Zheng Ren's previous entry into the System Operating Room for over 15 days, the General Surgery Department skill rose from advanced to expert level. And the appendectomy surgery was further elevated to perfection.

So what about this time?

Such mission rewards are far more substantial than skill points.

"System Great Bright God, how do I claim the mission reward training?" Zheng Ren asked, looking at the small fox sculpture lying in front of the thatched hut across from him.

【Please select the Skill Tree branch for training.】

This time the system answered Zheng Ren's question.

A light screen fell down, presenting various branches of surgery before Zheng Ren.

Appendectomy surgery had already been learned; Zheng Ren was confident his level of appendectomy was at least top-notch nationwide, possibly among the very few.

So what should be learned next?

Surely it's the general direction of General Surgery, after all the Skill Tree is laid out there. Master one branch to the top, then talk later.

Furthermore, Zheng Ren felt he should consider the demand for Emergency Department surgery. Director Pan valued him highly, and the system even gave him a task to die for a true confidant. It is estimated that in the coming years, he will have to shoulder the Emergency Department of City First Hospital.

After making the preliminary choice, Zheng Ren deleted the surgical procedures that did not meet the conditions.

General Surgery specialty……

Breast surgery, few emergencies, no.

Thyroid surgery, few emergencies, no.

Anal surgery, few emergencies, no.

Hepatobiliary Pancreatic surgery…… this seems feasible.

Gastroenterology surgery…… this also seems feasible.

Zheng Ren set the options to Hepatobiliary Pancreatic and Gastroenterology these two directions, and began to waver.

Acute cholecystitis, hepatic rupture—these diseases are often encountered in the Emergency Department; while acute intestinal obstruction, gastric perforation are also common diseases in the Emergency Department.

Which branch should be chosen?

Zheng Ren stared at the light curtain before him, stunned.

After a long while, Zheng Ren suddenly thought, could he consult the System Space?

But this system of his seems quite unstable; sometimes it answers his questions, most of the time it ignores him completely, and even threatens extermination……

But since it's already bound, what else can he do?

"System Great Bright God, should I choose Hepatobiliary Pancreatic surgery or Gastroenterology surgery?" Zheng Ren posed the question with a tentative attitude.

As soon as his words fell, the light curtain flickered, and immediately all other surgical procedures dimmed, leaving only Hepatobiliary Pancreatic surgery tempting Zheng Ren like a bewitching cheap goods.

Although the system did not use the mechanical female voice to converse with Zheng Ren, this hint was already enough.

Zheng Ren selected the Hepatobiliary Pancreatic surgery option; a flash of light and shadow, and the operating room rose up beside him.

The operating table, experimental subject—everything was so familiar, only this time the condition changed from appendicitis to various acute and chronic cholecystitis.

Zheng Ren: "……"

He had wanted to inventory the stock, then rest properly, replenish spirit before coming to learn the training, but how did he start the training directly under a ghost's prompting?

But regret came too late; after attempting to negotiate with the system to no avail, Zheng Ren was forced to perform the acute cholecystectomy.

This time there was no threat of extermination by the system; Zheng Ren was relatively relaxed and also gained more insight.

For example, doing surgery here he would not feel tired at all, and the more he did, the more energetic he became; even the various literature and materials on hepatobiliary pancreatic surgery he had read over the years clearly surfaced in his mind.

A simple open cholecystectomy, in terms of surgical grading, is the same as an appendectomy—both are grade‑one surgeries.

->47

->48

->49

->50

->51

->52

->53

->54

->55

->56

->57

->58

->59

But in fact, interns may possibly, at the end of the internship, under the close supervision of the teaching Teacher, personally perform an appendectomy.

Yet no one ever dared to let an intern perform a gallbladder removal surgery.

Anatomically speaking, gallbladder removal surgery is far more complex than an appendectomy.

Zheng Ren began with open cholecystectomy, slowly becoming proficient, mainly to get familiar with the anatomical structure, preparing for the complex laparoscopic gallbladder removal.

He forgot the time, only after finishing a surgery would he look up at the countdown timer.

In the System Space, Zheng Ren truly felt that every inch of time was worth an inch of gold.

20.83 days passed, and Zheng Ren felt a bit dazed.

After all, the complexity of hepatobiliary pancreatic surgery far surpasses that of an appendectomy.

This is obvious—appendectomy is merely a primary or secondary procedure in gastroenterology surgery, incomparable to hepatobiliary pancreatic surgery.

When the countdown reached its final second, the operating room vanished before Zheng Ren's eyes, and he instinctively lifted his hand, trying to grasp the disappearing operating room.

Unfortunately, he only grasped air.

At the moment Zheng Ren was slightly dazed, countless crystal-clear white lights surged into the System Space, instantly turning into a gentle stream, making the whole space lively and vibrant.

【Host, please note: the System Mall has unlocked the purchase of surgical study time.】

Huh? Even this can be bought? Zheng Ren quickly opened the System Mall and began searching.

……

……

At the same time, the Surgery Livestream Room on the Xinglin Garden website was restored. The hundreds of doctors who had been waiting rushed in, fearing that the limit would be reached and they'd be shut out.

It was just like when a new game had just launched its server.
