Chapter 66 - Heartfelt Admiration (1/2)

Ding-dong…

The mission completion sound was indeed heart-warming.

[Sudden Mission: The Opponent’s Submission completed. Completion rate: 100 percent.]

The System’s robotic female voice was like music to Zheng Ren’s ears.

[200 skill points and 10000 experience points obtained. Time used: 2 hours and 15 minutes. Additional 14100 experience points awarded.

[Hidden Side Quest: Heartfelt Admiration completed. The host has acquired the opponent’s admiration. Every reward in this mission will be doubled.]

Zheng Ren was momentarily stunned. According to the System, Cen Meng must have admitted defeat, but because he had achieved a 100-percent completion rate in this surgery, Cen Meng knelt down completely and sincerely without the slightest grievance?

This was actually a thing?

Zheng Ren stopped bothering about Cen Meng and started counting his profit like a hamster trying to survive the winter.

‘48200 experience points and 400 skill points. That’s very good! How good it would be to encounter more opponents like Cen Meng,’ Zheng Ren thought happily.

Zheng Ren currently had 1370 skill points in total—970 points in his inventory plus 400 points acquired from the mission. If he used up all his skill points, he would have a little over 3200 points in his general surgery skill tree, one step closer to the Master rank at 5000 points.

There were 48400 experience points in the inventory, which meant Zheng Ren could once again purchase a few hours of surgery intensive training time. However, he decided to hold onto them as he had no need for training at the time being. Besides, the points would not devalue while in the System, right?

The mission tab gave Zheng Ren a sense of satisfaction.

Every doctor would feel content whether they were saving lives or improving their skills.

Zheng Ren was taken aback when he noticed the main mission’s progression.

An incision and drainage for acute obstructive suppurative cholangitis was considered a tier-three surgery, and thus according to the terms in the main mission, it was equivalent to four tier-one surgeries.

However, the completion rate…

Zheng Ren had completed the main mission—The Best Surgeon—twice after performing several cholecystectomies and appendectomies these past few days.

There was still some progression left after receiving the rewards twice, but Zheng Ren noticed a notification upon seeing the main mission. “The mission has been completed. Please receive the reward.”

The completion rate should be 4+1=5, right? Why was there a reward?

Well, a reward was always good. Zheng Ren immediately clicked the “Receive” b.u.t.ton without hesitation.

After obtaining 10 skill points and 1000 experience points, Zheng Ren then observed that the main mission completion rate was at seven.

In other words, the surgery he had performed just now was actually much more advanced than a tier-four surgery.

Was parasite removal considered a tier-five surgery? Even though Zheng Ren was aware that barely anyone in the world could properly perform a parasite removal surgery, parasitic diseases were still uncommon in China.

Every time a patient with parasitic disease was treated, the doctor in charge would brag about it and enjoyed public admiration by posting it on Xinglin Garden or Zhihu[1].

Zheng Ren was exhilarated to find out that he had completed what had turned out to be a highly advanced surgical procedure.

Even though there was no comprehensive improvement, his total savings of three skill books, nearly 50000 experience points and 1380 skill points put a warm smile on his face.

He had 1975 points in his general surgery skill tree as well.

This surgery had given Zheng Ren lots of benefits.

…

After the patient was transferred back to the ward, Zheng Ren put on a white coat without changing out of surgical attire and went for a ward round.

Since there were not many patients in the emergency ward, almost every patient had the privilege of their own sick room.

Zheng Ren saw Cen Meng taking care of a patient when he walked into the ward.

He knew that his former superior had completely admitted defeat, so he gave Cen Meng a forgiving smile and read the data on the monitor.

The patient’s vital signs were stable. He had fully regained consciousness from general anesthesia and was able to speak fluently.

The initial yellowish discoloration of the skin, just like a Minion, had begun to recover at a rate almost visible to the naked eye.
