Chapter 67: 0066 Heartfelt Submission and Kneeling

Ding-dong~~~

The sound of the completed mission was refreshing and delightful.

【Emergency Mission: Opponent's submission completed. Completion rate, 100%】.

The system's mechanical female voice sounded a few degrees more pleasant to Zheng Ren.

【Host gained 200 Skill points, 10000 Experience Points. Time taken 2 hours 05 minutes, gained additional 14100 Experience Points.

【Hidden side mission: Wholehearted submission completed, host gained opponent's admiration, this reward doubled.】.

Zheng Ren was stunned for a moment; according to the system, Cen Meng should have knelt. But because his own Shou Bing completion rate reached 100%, he knelt very thoroughly, without a hint of resentment, wholeheartedly submitting?

Is there such a thing?

As for how Cen Meng was, Zheng Ren didn't really care; he started tallying his gains like a hamster preparing for winter.

Experience Points: 48200 points. Skill points: 400 points. Not bad; if there were more opponents like Cen Meng, how great that would be, Zheng Ren thought happily.

Currently stored skill points 970 points, plus the 400 points gained from the mission, totalling 1370 skill points. If Zheng Ren now adds all his skill points, General Surgery Department skill would exceed 3200 points, already approaching the master level of 5000 points.

Experience Points total 48400 points, plus several more hours of Shou Bing training time; Zheng Ren currently has no need, so he stores them anyway. After all, skill points exist in the system and won't depreciate.

Looking at the mission board, Zheng Ren felt a sense of satisfaction.

Whether it's himself growing stronger or treating patients, both bring the doctor a unique satisfaction.

But when Zheng Ren saw the Main Line Quest, he was startled.

Opening drainage for acute obstructive suppurative cholangitis counts as a level‑3 Shou Bing. According to the mission description, it can be counted as four level‑1 Shou Bing.

But the mission completion rate……

Over the past few days, the cholecystectomies and appendectomies Zheng Ren performed have let him complete two rounds of the Main Line Quest—Best Surgeon.

After two rounds, there was still a bit left. But when Zheng Ren saw the Main Line Quest, he suddenly noticed a prompt saying the mission was already completed, please claim the reward.

The completion rate should be 4+1=5, right? Where did the reward come from?

But having a reward is best; Zheng Ren didn't hesitate and immediately clicked to claim it.

10 skill points and 1000 experience points were claimed; Zheng Ren then saw the mission completion rate was 7 points.

That is to say, the Shou Bing just performed was actually calculated as a higher‑level Shou Bing technique than a level‑4 Shou Bing.

Removing a worm counts as a level‑5 Shou Bing? Zheng Ren knows that worm‑removal Shou Bing is something few can do well worldwide, but there aren't many patients with parasitic diseases domestically either, right?

Every time a parasitic disease patient is treated, the doctor shows off—either posting on Xinglin Yuan or on Bihu, for everyone to admire.

It actually counts as an unknown high‑level technique; performing this Shou Bing is a first, Zheng Ren is delighted.

After finishing up, although he didn't receive an all‑round boost, Zheng Ren felt warm inside seeing three skill books, nearly 50000 Experience Points, and a stored 1380 Skill points.

Glancing at the Skill Tree, General Surgery Department skill had grown to 1975 points.

This Shou Bing brought Zheng Ren considerable gains.

……

……

After sending the patient back, Zheng Ren put on an Isolation Gown, draped a White Coat, and went on rounds.

In the Jizhenbingfang there weren't many patients; almost everyone had a single room, conditions were quite good.

Entering the ward, Zheng Ren saw Cen Meng attending to a patient.

He knew this former senior doctor had knelt, and done so thoroughly, so he no longer worried; he gave Cen Meng a slight smile and glanced at the monitor.

Vital signs were stable; the patient had woken from general anesthesia and spoke clearly.

The previous little yellow people's fully yellow‑tinged skin had begun to ease, recovering at a speed almost visible to the naked eye.

"Zheng Ren, thank you." Cen Meng said, a little embarrassed.

"It's fine." Zheng Ren waved his hand and smiled: "With you here taking care of things, I can relax tonight."

The Shou Bing went well, and there's nothing special post‑op.

The two exchanged awkward pleasantries; previously Cen Meng had set traps step by step, but Zheng Ren repaid hatred with virtue, making Cen Meng feel deeply guilty.

But Zheng Ren didn't care at all—not even throwing the slightest mockery—making Cen Meng feel ashamed. He didn't know the system had already told Zheng Ren that he had knelt, and that it was a wholehearted submission.

After rounds, Zheng Ren wandered through other wards and saw Chang Yue chatting with a patient. No matter if it was the patient or their family, their attitude toward Chang Yue was like treating their own family—enthusiastic to the point of completely ignoring Zheng Ren, the surgeon.

Really, she has her ways; Zheng Ren felt a bit moved.

Seeing Zheng Ren enter, Chang Yue immediately stopped small talk.

To her, chatting is merely a means to enhance feelings with patients and their families—similar to psychotherapy, helping patients recover better.

Chang Yue stood half a step behind Zheng Ren's side and began to explain the condition.

Chang Yue described even the small details usually overlooked, clearly and thoroughly; without looking at the patient, just listening to her, one could tell the extent of recovery.

Most importantly, the condition Chang Yue described and the condition shown by the system in the upper‑right corner of Zheng Ren's view were almost identical.

There were some differences, but they weren't Chang Yue's fault; they were just rather obscure matters.

This attending physician is genuinely worth having; Zheng Ren nodded.

He doesn't praise people; before he was just a junior doctor, nobody prompted him to praise. Now he has just been promoted to Inpatient Chief and hasn't had time to get used to this situation.

Taking Chang Yue on a walk through the ward, the patients' recovery speed was all quick, and Chang Yue expressed surprise.

But when she spoke with Zheng Ren, she wasn't as pleasant as when talking to patients; she was rather direct, probably because all her patience had been spent on the patients, leaving no inclination to flatter Zheng Ren, this "direct superior".

Earlier, Chang Yue's affairs had caused a city‑wide uproar, and Zheng Ren had heard about it.

Looking at Chang Yue's temper, it's practically more infuriating than his own, and Zheng Ren also found it interesting.

He especially liked Chang Yue's frank personality; as a doctor, being able to cure patients' ailments is a tremendous ability, and if he were always scheming, he would be unworthy of the white coat on his body and the conscience beneath it.

After finishing rounds, Zheng Ren returned to the office, planning to read a bit, seizing every moment to increase his skills and soon reach master level.

Just as he opened the book, his phone rang.

It was a group created by Xie Yiren, containing Xie Yiren, the Chu Family Sisters, Chang Yue, and Zheng Ren.

This group is a work group; it only posts things related to work.

So Zheng Ren didn't turn off the new message notifications, for fear that if something urgent came up he wouldn't get the news.

"Chief Zheng, you really disgusted me today." Chu Yan zhi.

"Same feeling, I need comfort." Xie Yiren.

"If you don't treat us to a meal, this won't be over, hehe." Chu Yanran.

"What should we eat?"

"There's a newly opened restaurant on Jianshe Road; reportedly it's not bad."

……

……

There's no need for Zheng Ren to speak; the girls have already chatted among themselves and decided that today Zheng Ren should treat everyone, and they're all going to have boiled fish.

Zheng Renye also feels helpless; Zheng Ren, who can absolutely average 400+ APM during Shou Bing, when chatting, is simply no match for those girls, and quickly loses.
