Chapter 70: 0069 A Surgery With No Highlights

In Xinglin Yuan, the Surgery Livestream Room started broadcasting.

After the phone notification rang, many doctors who had nothing very important they couldn't leave entered the livestream room to watch the surgery.

【Dashen started surgery again, I'm still watching the recording of the previous surgery.】

【I watched it twice, but I still don't understand how to remove the worm.】

【My gut tells me Dashen might be an e-sports expert. Look at that hand speed—at least an average APM of 500, crushing all kinds of e-sports masters. Speed isn't enough; the key is accuracy. When manipulating such tiny tweezers externally, each time clamping the parasite, not even the serosal layer is damaged. It's truly awe‑inspiring, making one want to prostrate in admiration.】

【I just bought tofu, the most tender kind, and prepared some fine cotton thread. I don't believe that after practicing for one week I could still reach Dashen's level.】

【Go dream on, you'll never reach Dashen's level in your lifetime.】

Everyone chatted, exchanging insights and experiences about learning surgery. But this relaxed and comfortable moment was brief, only during the intermission when the operator in the livestream room disinfected and prepared.

Afterwards, when the operator began the surgery, nobody wanted a crucial step to be blocked by danmaku.

Xie Yiren lightly patted the scalpel into Zheng Ren's hand, and with one cut opened the skin.

【I feel this is a patient with an inguinal hernia? The location indeed matches, but how could Dashen perform such a basic surgery?】

【You didn't check the case? This is a patient with the simplest inguinal hernia, you didn't get it wrong, kid.】

【What's there to see? Dashen actually didn't do laparoscopic hernia repair—has he returned to simplicity?】

The inguinal hernia repair procedure indeed has nothing remarkable; the patient's condition is simple, and Zheng Ren's surgical technique is even more simple and swift.

The anatomical structure was clear, each step exactly as written in surgical textbooks, with no deviation.

How strange—just now he performed a bile duct worm removal that nobody had seen before, and then he came to do the simplest hernia repair. Is Dashen's surgical range really that wide? Will he be doing surgeries from other departments in the future?

Recalling that the first surgery in the livestream room was a simple wound debridement and suturing, some doctors began to let their imaginations run wild.

【Really, there's nothing to see—this simple hernia repair, our hospital eliminated it fifteen years ago.】

【Yes, Dashen's level is still there; the repair site used a continuous reinforced suture to prevent postoperative recurrence—these are flawless, but it's really hard to see anything special about it.】

【Can anyone tell me if you've spotted any highlights in the surgery?】

Three minutes later, the surgery ended.

In the livestream room, a few danmaku floated out weakly.

Everyone's appetite had been spoiled by the operator in the livestream room; watching a flawless hernia repair couldn't satisfy their hungry hearts.

Who can't do a hernia repair? Moreover, everyone does laparoscopic hernia repair with mesh; this surgery truly has no highlights, and the doctors watching the broadcast seemed somewhat disappointed.

The surgery ended, the broadcast ended.

【I've heard that professors in Di Du and Modu rarely consider saving money for patients; those who can go there for treatment aren't lacking even a few melons and dates.】

【These days, simple hernia repair is rarely seen; it looks nostalgic.】

【Despairing face, I just learned laparoscopic hernia repair, and suddenly I felt a stir to go back and find an opportunity to learn ordinary hernia repair. If I really encounter a patient without money, I'd indeed have to do this procedure.】

We're all doctors—who doesn't know the pros and cons of these two techniques?

The operator broadcasting such an ordinary, highlight‑less surgery—what for? It goes without saying.

……

The surgery ended, the patient was sent back to the ward.

No pain pump, everything is the simplest, most basic treatment.

The mother and daughter knew the surgery was very successful; when the chance of recurrence afterward was nearly zero, a huge stone fell from their hearts.

Joy welling up from deep within their hearts overflowed onto their faces.

Ding‑dong~~~

【First stage of the continuous task "Doctor's Parental Heart" completed.】

The system's mechanical female voice appeared beside Zheng Ren's ear.

Hmm? Isn't this a regular task? How did it become a continuous task?

Will it become a main line quest later? The system really is unreliable—Zheng Ren muttered to himself.

【The host gained 50 skill points, 1000 experience points. Treatment time: 2 hours 28 minutes, the host completed the task early, gaining reward experience points 163920.】

Zheng Ren had previously estimated that the system gave two days to complete the task, which was just a big gift package.

But when the number 163920 appeared before his eyes, he was still stunned.

If the system had told Zheng Renhe had less than two days, he would have thought it was nothing special; but laying out the figure of 160,000 outright left him stunned.

This is simply too generous.

For Zheng Ren, this number was perhaps overly huge; he gazed at the reward, delighted, staring without blinking for three minutes.

This is over forty hours of surgical training time!

Since the hostile task from peers, the system no longer calculates rewards in days or hours, but switched to calculating experience points per second, and opened the mall—this is all a trick, full of tricks.

Zheng Ren had an illusion that the system seemed to be constantly evolving itself; it was basically a Big Pig Trotter.

Forty hours of surgical training—really good.

Surgical training is especially suited to Zheng Ren, who is somewhat stubborn, obstinate, and once he latches onto an opportunity he won't let go—a steel‑straight man. People with flexible minds find it hard to spend several or even ten‑plus hours doing one type of surgery undistracted, let alone repeat it a thousand times.

Perhaps there are people who have performed a thousand surgeries of the same type, but those like Zheng Ren, who can draw the needed nourishment from each surgery and continually improve, are even fewer.

He has perseverance and comprehension; aside from not understanding romance, he… looks quite ordinary, and in such a looks‑oriented society, he can only make a living by talent.

So, to Zheng Ren, these experience points are his lunchbox; he'll rely on them to get by—how could he not be happy?

After the joy, Zheng Ren tasted it a bit and felt the system was simply sunshine, full of positive energy.

"Doctor's parental heart"—this phrase is rarely mentioned nowadays. Most of the time, patients or their families say, "Doctor Zheng, your service attitude is really good."

Whenever this happens, Zheng Ren feels a little uncomfortable.

Doctor, parental heart.

This task name of the system quite matches Zheng Ren's worldview.

……

Hai Cheng, City First Hospital, Jizhen Da Lou second-floor emergency ward, a spacious corridor, a shy girl with very black hair, a bit dirty. But the dirt and mess couldn't hide her lively eyes.

She looked around like a thief, seeing no one, she quickly opened the trash can of the big black bag and took out several lunch boxes from inside.

In the hospital's fire escape, the girl and a middle-aged woman squatted on the ground; the lunch box they had just picked up was opened, inside there were no vegetables, only some vegetable soup, about half of it spilled.

The young girl was tall with long legs; squatting on the ground to eat, she looked especially strange. He held a dry, crumbly steamed bun that fell apart at a touch, carefully tore off a piece, dipped it in the vegetable soup from the lunch box, and ate it bite by bite.

Their expressions were unpretentious, full of happiness. It seemed as if a bowl of leftover soup had improved their lives, and they especially enjoyed it.
