Healing Doctor

Chapter 190 Teacher Zhao, I'm Sorry (Bonus Chapter by Alliance Leader Deng Chaohong x1)

When a microcoil is inserted, the proliferating blood vessels are embolized, and blood flow is blocked.

A second angiography showed that the tumor had disappeared, the embolization effect was satisfactory, and the surgical preparation was complete.

It was only then that Ling Tian realized he had overlooked a detail in his moment of distraction—the angle of the unnamed vessel, a branch of the right subclavian artery, was extremely tricky. Yet, in the short time he had been distracted, Ji Xiang had completed the most difficult superselection!

If I were in the position of the practitioner...

What Ji Xiang can do, I certainly can't do.

Assuming that the tumor is definitely supplied by a branch of the subclavian artery, it would take at least an hour of probing to ensure successful superselection, and that's still an underestimate.

If Ling Tian could figure it out within an hour, he wouldn't think he was highly skilled, but rather that he was lucky.

The surgery was incredibly difficult, but Ji Xiang accomplished it with remarkable ease...

If only he weren't so stubborn and had shown the boss enough respect. Even if he insisted on surgery, the boss might have been able to accept it if he phrased it differently.

Ling Tian was restless, with countless distracting thoughts arising in his mind, and before he knew it, the surgery was over.

Ji Xiang has removed the arterial sheath and begun applying pressure to stop the bleeding.

Ling Tian's eyelids kept twitching wildly. "Damn this feudal superstition," Ling Tian cursed inwardly.

He turned his head, wanting to see what instructions the boss had.

But the next second, Ling Tian only saw an empty seat on the lead-glass side, with the technician standing blankly in front of the control panel.

The boss is gone!

The boss actually left!

Ling Tian's hand felt a little numb.

"Teacher Ling, the surgery is over," Ji Xiang said calmly. "Could you lend me a hand? I'll lift the patient onto the stretcher and go out to apply pressure to stop the bleeding."

"Oh," Ling Tian replied blankly.

His mind was filled with Ji Xiang's final Super Select move. How did Ji Xiang manage to do that?!

"Teacher Ling, can I still observe the lesson tomorrow?" Ji Xiang asked.

"What?"

"I'll just observe," Ji Xiang said. "I probably won't have a chance to give a report, but I'd like to hear your opinions on the development of the discipline and their guiding significance for future work."

Damn, you're already this good. You can decide your own career path from now on. Why do you need to look after others?

Ling Tian cursed inwardly.

With this level of skill, even Academician Teng would be delighted to see him and would be willing to break ties with the boss to bring Ji Xiang away.

Perhaps because he was distracted, Ling Tian accidentally blurted out some profanities.

"I don't know what the future holds, so I'll have to see what the teachers say." Ji Xiang reverted to his former naive self. "Teacher Ling, is this alright?"

"..."

Ling Tian remained silent.

I want to cry without tears.

A complex mix of emotions swirled within him, and even he himself didn't know what he was thinking.

……

……

The patient was lifted onto a stretcher and taken to the corridor.

Ji Xiang pressed on the femoral artery puncture site and chatted with the patient in a light and casual manner, trying to calm the patient down.

Because the patient could see the situation during the operation to some extent, Ji Xiang explained the entire process to him, which was full of ups and downs and ended perfectly, like a fairy tale.

Ji Xiang only breathed a sigh of relief after the attending physician sent the patient away with a blank expression.

"Ding-dong~"

Main Quest: Challenge! Completed.

Task objective: Conduct three superselection tests to locate abnormal blood vessels supplying the tumor.

Task duration: 2 hours.

Quest Rewards: 20000 Experience Points, 100 Surgery Points, and 1 Random Attribute Value.

Special reward: Senior Physician's Gaze skill level +1.

Without hesitation, Ji Xiang added the random attribute to Luck, then glanced at the upgraded [Superior Doctor's Gaze].

The system didn't mention any changes to the skills, but there was a small line of text below: "The definition of a senior doctor is not limited to the operating table."

The system is always so secretive, speaking as if it's constipated. Couldn't it ever demonstrate some skills? Ji Xiang thought to himself.

The figure that appeared before him was not a system NPC, but Professor Zhou, whom he had encountered during a time of shared empathy.

This thing was definitely designed by Zhou Congwen, absolutely!

The task rewards were one aspect, but Ji Xiang clearly remembered that the system changed when he was engrossed in watching the movie.

Pulling up the light screen, Ji Xiang saw a line of text.

Congratulations on entering a flow state for the first time! You are rewarded with a one-time temporary skill – Empathy.

This skill is temporary and can only be used once, allowing a designated person to experience the same feeling.

What's the use of this?

Ji Xiang focused his attention on the flow state, a concept he had heard his grandfather mention before, but he never expected to enter it unintentionally.

He ignored the one-time skill and, seeing Zhao Zhe walk out looking bewildered, said somewhat apologetically, "Teacher Zhao, I'm really sorry."

"Sorry?" Zhao Zhe was taken aback by Ji Xiang's words.

"I don't think your project will be able to be presented at the conference," Ji Xiang said regretfully. "I think I offended Professor Qin; he left without even saying goodbye."

"..."

"If you won't let us join the club, I'll treat you to Disneyland and let you watch the fireworks."

"No need, no need." Zhao Zhe realized what was happening. Although he was a little disappointed, he had been used to it after being beaten down by society for so many years.

For Zhao Zhe, failure is the norm, while success is something he can only dream of.

"Dr. Xiao Ji, what you did... to be honest, I think it's a bit of a pity," Zhao Zhe said softly. "These kinds of things happen everywhere, why bother?"

Zhao Zhe's voice grew softer and softer, revealing his inner turmoil.

Ji Xiang smiled calmly.

Indeed, when faced with immense benefits, one might not appreciate them if they hadn't personally experienced them.

Qin Chu's actions were actually quite normal.

Remembering the "warning" from the system NPC, this time, experiencing it firsthand might change my worldview.

Indeed, the long process of "waiting to die" changed Ji Xiang's worldview.

Therefore, he strongly disagreed with Qin Chu's actions and even threw his big purse in Qin Chu's face.

Ji Xiang didn't care about Qin Chu's thoughts, but he felt a little sorry for Zhao Zhe.

To live up to both Buddha and love—how easy is that?

"Teacher Zhao, I'm so sorry." Ji Xiang apologized to Zhao Zhe again.

"Look at what you said." Zhao Zhe glanced at Ling Tian, ​​who hadn't come out and was continuing with the next surgery in the operating room. He sighed, "Let's go, let's find a place to have a drink."

"I don't drink," Ji Xiang said.

"If you don't smoke or drink, you've wasted your life," Zhao Zhe laughed. "It's all trivial; I'm used to it. If people don't like us, we'll just do our own thing and be true to ourselves."

"Actually, I also want to... if I could change them, maybe..."

"Have you seen Mr. Donkey? The lines in it are classic. If you can't even handle the things in front of you, how can you expect to do anything else? You'll be assimilated eventually. This is a good thing to do, I think it's a good thing."

Seeing that the situation was beyond repair, Zhao Zhe could only keep comforting Ji Xiang.

Ji Xiang went to greet Ling Tian, ​​but Ling Tian didn't say a word, so he went to change clothes with Zhao Zhe.

He came in high spirits but left in a bit of a hurry. However, Ji Xiang was satisfied with what he wanted, and his eyes were full of smiles.
