After binding with the system, I became a proctology expert.

After finishing his outpatient clinic, Lu Renxin, who was starving, was finally able to go to the cafeteria for a meal.

Back in the ward, Lin Bo, a burly man, approached him with a slightly flushed face, looking rather awkward.

Lu Renxin had never seen Lin Bo like this before. In his impression, Lin Bo had always been a straightforward and easygoing person.

What's going on today? Have I been possessed?

Lu Renxin stared at him suspiciously, his eyes conveying a signal:

Why are you behaving like this, kid? Spit it out.

Lin Bo cleared his throat and said apologetically:

"Brother Lu, it's my shift tomorrow. I'd like to switch shifts with you."

Just switch shifts, it's not a big deal, why are you so shy?

Lu Renxin was even more puzzled. He glanced at the schedule:

"Sure, but I don't have any Thursday shifts this month. Which one would you like to switch with?"

Upon hearing that Lu Renxin was willing to make the switch, Lin Bo hurriedly agreed:

"Just change to this Friday's."

Lu Renxin rested his chin on his right hand:

Something's not right, this kid's acting strangely.

Shift changes are common; all sorts of things always happen.

Sometimes, if I can't get away from the night shift, we'll switch shifts internally.

However, doctors are on duty from Monday to Sunday, and there are differences between shifts; they are not switched arbitrarily.

For example, those on duty on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday are considered to be one level lower than those on Monday through Thursday.

Of the weekdays, Thursday is the best time to be on duty, and it's known as the "golden shift".

Because the shift usually lasts from 8 a.m. the previous day until noon the next day.

If there's nothing to do the next afternoon, you can rest; this is called "night rest".

The reason why Friday, Saturday, and Sunday are bad is because they cut out the normal weekend rest time.

Being on duty on Thursday means you can rest on Friday afternoon, which, combined with the weekend, is equivalent to a two-and-a-half-day mini-holiday, making it the most popular option.

Lin Bo wanted to switch to Friday, but his second day on duty was Saturday, which would mean sacrificing half a day of his rest time for nothing.

Moreover, they didn't get a night shift; in the morning, they had to work with the doctor on duty that day to change all the patients' medications.

Lin Bo changed shifts so hastily, even using his prime-time shift to do so; based on my understanding of him, something must be going on.

"Tell me honestly, what's going on?"

Lin Bo's eyes darted around:

"No, I just suddenly had something to do on Thursday."

"Are you going to tell me or not? If you don't, we won't change it."

This puts Lin Bo's lifeline in its grasp:

"No, no, no."

Seeing that he could no longer hide it, he finally confessed:

I'm going on a date Thursday night.

"What?! A date?!"

Lu Renxin looked shocked, and his voice rose several octaves.

"Brother Lu, Brother Lu, you're the best, please help me out."

Lin Bo clasped his hands together in prayer.

"Tell me honestly, when did you get a girlfriend?"

"She's dating someone behind her brother's back, who is it?"

As Lu Renxin pressed for answers, Lin Bo's dark skin flushed even more, and he said embarrassedly:

"We just started talking to her. You know her too, Fang Yuanyuan, a second-year graduate student who came to our department for a rotation last month."

"Oh, it's my junior sister!"

Lu Renxin remembered her; she was a girl from the gastroenterology department, with short hair, fair skin, and a quiet, gentle appearance.

"You're a lucky guy."

"No offense, bro, but you're dating right before graduation. What about your thesis?"

As close friends, Lin Bo's research skills are on par with Lu Renxin's, and he is also among the group of people preparing to extend their studies.

Speaking of this, Lin Bo revealed the Dragon King's signature crooked smile:

"Sorry, bro, I can't help you worry about your thesis."

"I wrote a thesis in my first year of graduate school, and that's how I graduated."

Lu Renxin knew about Lin Bo's article; his mentor had been commissioned by a magazine and asked him to write one and submit it.

"Wait a minute, isn't that a regular publication? It doesn't meet the school's graduation requirements."

Lin Bo continued to gloat:

"Yes, it was originally a regular publication, but the magazine publisher was ambitious and upgraded it to a core journal this year."

Lu Renxin: ...Is this even possible?

"You're still so lucky, kid."

Lu Renxin couldn't help but sigh.

Lin Bo is truly a chosen one.

When he was taking the postgraduate entrance exam, there was someone with similar qualifications to him.

But his advisor chose him.

It's not because he has a special skill, nor because he's exceptionally outstanding in any aspect.

Simply because his name is well-chosen.

After a master's degree comes a doctorate, and once you get a doctorate, people will call you "Dr. X".

Lin Bo's mentor praised him at the time:

"Lin Bo is a good name; it sounds like someone who will get a doctorate."

They only found out after hiring him that he was a research failure, and they regretted it immensely.

Also, the school required a passing grade of CET-6 for graduation, and he just happened to get 426.

Now, you don't even need to work on your own papers; you can rely on magazines to do so.

How enviable!

But I'm not unlucky either; I have a system too.

Lin Bo continued with a sweet smile on his face:

"Her department is very busy, and since she finally has some time tomorrow, I'm planning to ask her to go see a newly released movie."

Indeed, Lu Renxin deeply understands; it's like the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl meeting when resident trainees from different departments fall in love.

Either you're on duty or I'm working overtime; it's harder than climbing to heaven for the two of us to be free at the same time.

Since that's the case, as a good brother, I have no choice but to do it.

He readily put his arm around Lin Bo's shoulder:

"What else is there to say? It's not like I'm the one who's at a disadvantage. I'm on duty tomorrow, so you can go on your date."

……

Having finished his work for the day, Lu Renxin dragged his weary steps home, hoping to get some rest early.

He had just been lying on the bed in a starfish position when he heard the WeChat notification sound.

[AAAA Mentor Zhang]: Xiao Lu, I've read your article and given you some feedback.

【悠然见南山】: Received, thank you teacher.

"Hey—get to work."

He sprang up from the bed and sat back down at his desk.

I sent it to the teacher around 4 PM, and I've already finished reading it.

Teacher, you have so much energy!

Upon opening the document, the first thing you see is his proposed title: "Analysis of the Role of Phellodendron bark in Postoperative Patients with Anal Fistula".

The tutor commented beside the name: "[A good name]"

Lu Renxin's tense mood calmed down a bit.

Scroll down further to the summary.

I saw another comment: "[Okay, you can delete everything from here]"

……

After watching it from beginning to end, Lu Renxin experienced the mentor's sharp comments:

What are you discussing? What's your point of view? You're just talking nonsense, saying absolutely nothing.

[This passage is very well written; it would have definitely gotten you a degree forty years ago. Unfortunately, it was discovered to be wrong three years ago; you were born too late.]

After reading your paper, I bought two sleeping pills because only medication can make me fall asleep.

Your article has made no contribution to academia, but it has ruined my reputation in the education field.

……

Lu Renxin blushed. He knew his writing was bad, but he didn't expect it to be this bad.

But he can swear that he really tried.

I studied the English and Chinese documents carefully, copied them exactly, and then produced a huge mess.

Sometimes you have to admit that no one is perfect, and he really didn't have much scientific research talent.

I earned another 6.1 healing points today, bringing my total balance to 18.5.

I wonder how the system will help me publish my paper after I've accumulated enough healing points?

Is it about altering everyone's memories?

Or should we just generate a perfect paper directly?
