Chapter 191 - Two-Faced (2/2)

“The conference ends here. If you have any questions, please send me a message on WeChat. If any of you want to see the patients preoperatively, the chief residents will escort you.” Li Haitao opened the curtains and turned off the slideshow.

The winter suns.h.i.+ne was a little dazzling, but Su Yun’s black hair was almost blinding.

“Hey, are you confident?” he asked.

“Huh?” Zheng Ren was startled.

“Be serious. This is a compet.i.tion to be the future leader of interventional radiology.” Su Yun’s expression was grim, which was a rare sight. “Whether the surgery succeeds or fails doesn’t matter, but as long as you win the contest, you can choose to work in the interventional radiology department in any Cla.s.s Three Grade A Hospital in this country. You don’t have to stay in Sea City anymore.”

Su Yun seemed like a completely different man in the moment, as if the part of his soul that had been reluctant to attend the conference had been thrown into a different dimension.

He was now a man with immense fighting spirit burning within him, eager to compete with other surgical t.i.tans.

“Not interested,” replied Zheng Ren.

“You’d have a tenfold, twentyfold or even a hundredfold increase in your monthly income. Are you interested now?” Su Yun’s tone reeked of conceit that would have otherwise earned him ten thousand knuckle sandwiches.

“Not really. That’s not what I have in mind for the time being. Besides, even if I miss this opportunity, I can still earn a good income in the future,” replied Zheng Ren absent-mindedly as he repeatedly read through the patient’s medical record from the scientific research team.

“You’re really boring.” Su Yun brushed his black bangs aside and leaned in closer, whispering, “Are you thinking about becoming a glorious live-in son-in-law of the Xie family?”

“Live-in son-in-law?” The term reminded Zheng Ren of a rotten banana.

“I can see that you’ve been flirting with Xie Yiren, but come on, don’t be such a loser. Let me tell you…” In an unprecedented act, Su Yun decided to offer sincere advice to Zheng Ren.

However, just as he began to speak, the long-forgotten System alert rang out in Zheng Ren’s ears. “Ding-dong!”

A mission!

[Mission: The First Stage of The Great Beginning.

[Task: Obtain the surgery qualification for interventional radiological treatment of the prostate.

[Reward: One Master-ranked skill book, 1000 skill points, 200000 experience points and one gold chest.

[Time: 7 days.]

Zheng Ren was flabbergasted upon receiving the mission, turning a deaf ear to Su Yun’s nagging.

The Great Beginning; this mission alone had rewards exceeding that of everything he had received prior.

A skill book that directly upgraded a random skill to the Master rank… That, coupled with a truly humongous amount of points and long mission duration, left Zheng Ren drooling in antic.i.p.ation.

The points were equivalent to surgery intensive training time in the System!

The flame instantly burned bright within Zheng Ren’s heart, igniting his interest in this surgery.

He needed to complete it!

He had to complete it!

He must complete it!

Zheng Ren stood up abruptly in the midst of Su Yun’s speech.

“What’s wrong?”

“Let’s go see the patients.”

“Huh? What a two-faced b*stard.” Su Yun smirked.

[1] The writer’s original term, PK, most likely refers to a Player Kill challenge: MMORPG slang for a player-versus-player free-for-all in which player characters are killed. Given the writer’s penchant for gaming terms, it’s probably a fair a.s.sumption.
