Chapter 358 - A Man Is Handsome When He Is Focused (2/2)

To be in the top five globally, he truly had the actual credentials to back himself up.

The professor had performed TIPS surgeries before, probably more than the common doctor in a province-level hospital had ever done in their lifetime.

TIPS surgery was regarded as a new procedure in a prefecture-level hospital like Sea City General Hospital.

The professor’s countless clinical experiences made up for Zheng Ren’s lack of real-life exposure. The simulation mannequins were not 100% representative of human patients.

Moreover, there was a time limit in the System’s training room, which meant less attention was paid to the details. Professor Rudolf was able to contribute in that aspect.

As the afternoon gave way to night, Zheng Ren and Professor Rudolf’s research into the new method had almost been perfected.

The two men were jolted from their discussion when Chang Yue bid them goodbye. It was after working hours.

At the sight of the time, Zheng Ren checked his phone. There was a red dot next to Xie Yiren’s icon.

He quickly tapped on the message.

[What do you want for dinner?]

[If there’s no emergency case, let’s have a nice dinner. We won’t get to eat well tomorrow.]

[I see you’re discussing a case with the professor. You look quite handsome when you’re so focused.]

The few messages sent a warm and tingly sensation down Zheng Ren’s spine.

Professor Rudolf was trying to get his attention with something about the work. Zheng Ren quickly swatted away the question and told him what they had planned was solid. The excited professor wanted to talk more about their discovery and Zheng Ren was the only person who understood him.

But on the other hand, Zheng Ren wanted to spend the night with Xie Yiren.

[I’m good with anything. What do you want to eat?]

Zheng Ren replied to the messages.

He thought for a moment and felt that single reply was not enough.

[I was speaking to the professor about the TIPS surgery. Tomorrow there’s a second surgery to retrieve a stent and a TIPS surgery. It won’t be too long, maybe about an hour or so.]

Zheng Ren sent the message. He felt much better after that.

At that moment, a bell sounded in his ears.

[Main Mission: The Crown Jewel – Second Stage

[Mission Details: Complete 10 TIPS surgeries with a 100% score.

[Mission Rewards: Interventional surgery success rate +2, 100000 experience points and 3000 radiofrequency ablation cases worth of experience.

[Mission Duration: 1 month.]

The second stage of the mission was finally here. Zheng Ren read through the mission. Ten TIPS surgeries cases were no longer a challenge to him.

Zheng Ren had managed to perform an emergency TIPS surgery, so the routine variant would pose no difficulties to him, especially with a world cla.s.s a.s.sistant like Professor Rudolf Wagner.

The rewards were interesting.

3000 radiofrequency ablation cases worth of experience!

In Zheng Ren’s memory, the System had never provided a single-procedure skill as a reward. The liver dissection was an exception.

Radiofrequency ablation… Zheng Ren sighed.

It was almost time for Zheng Yunxia’s follow-up.

Slowly, Zheng Ren was beginning to understand how the System worked. Each skill and reward was preparing him for a future encounter.

This was not a coincidence but rather, the System’s meticulous calculation or some unknown predictive powers at work.

Zheng Ren deduced the procedure would come into play in Zheng Yunxia’s upcoming surgery.

He had one month to complete this second stage mission.

Getting patients with decompensated cirrhosis was the problem. In one month, the hospital could have 20 patients or none.

It was all up to Lady Luck.
