“Let me take a picture.” Associate Hospital Director Zhou gasped in amazement and brought out her phone before she took a few pictures around the egg. She then started to edit her WeChat Moments. [Today, I witnessed Doctor Ling’s great skills. He took three minutes to engrave two sentences on a raw egg.]
After Associate Hospital Director Zhou finished taking pictures, it was Department Director Huo’s turn, followed by Zuo Cidian and Lu Wenbin. To avoid looking as if they were not conforming to the group, Department Director Kang and He Liang also followed them to take some pictures.
After the raw egg was placed aside, the waiters in the private room became excited. They continuously took pictures, videos, and selfies. They did not even bother listening to the instructions from their leader.
The pharmaceutical sales representative who came deliberately to pay for the meal was reluctant to let go of this egg. He even wanted to pack this egg with his phone and take it away.
“I knew that Doctor Ling could perform surgery very well, but I did not expect him to have put in so much effort behind the scenes.” Associate Hospital Director Zhou sighed a little. Engraving a raw egg was very difficult, and engraving it like Ling Ran did was extremely rare.
Ling Ran only smiled and said, “I did not do any special practice. I just performed many surgeries and got familiar with operating using a scalpel.”
Ling Ran did not improve in a profound manner when it came to basic operations like incisions. However, surgeries like hepatectomy would naturally improve his incision skills, so performing surgeries continuously also meant nonstop training.
Ling Ran did not give too much of a response toward everyone’s surprise.
The people around him had always been like that, and many of them made a fuss about him, which was why his facial expression did not change much.
He Liang, who had been observing him all this while, finally showed admiration to Ling Ran.
Before this, he could not help but dream of the moment he won against Ling Ran.
In his head, He Liang had imagined countless scenarios. Even if he knew it was impossible, he still imagined himself being admired. After all, imagining things was not an illegal act.
And in reality, He Liang had also thought of what he should say and do in front of Associate Hospital Director Zhou and Huo Congjun after his victory…
However, Ling Ran obviously did something to the shell of the raw egg that very few people could do. He Liang also did not expect him to react so calmly to it.
‘Perhaps it’s because Ling Ran usually has too many impressive achievements.’ When He Liang thought about things this way, he admired Ling Ran more.
At this time, Ling Ran looked at He Liang.
Because in his mind, a mission notification popped up.
[Mission: Show Your Skills (1/2)]
[Mission Details: You can also show your skills outside the operating theater. Make Kang Jian and He Liang provide you with Peers’ Admiration Basic Treasure Chests by using your skills outside the operating theater. Then, from this, you can obtain more surgeries along with more freedom to choose your surgeries.]
[Mission Progress: He Liang (Completed)]
[Reward: Intermediate Treasure Chest]
At the same time, a Peers’ Admiration Basic Treasure Chest also appeared in front of Ling Ran.
This was the treasure chest given by He Liang.
Therefore, Ling Ran understood that he had completed his part with He Liang, but Department Director Kang had still not given him any Peers’ Admiration.
Ling Ran subconsciously muttered to himself.
He had not expected He Liang’s Peers’ Admiration Basic Treasure Chest to be obtained so easily. Neither did he expect Department Director Kang to remain completely unmoved.
In this case, completing the next task would be more troublesome. Perhaps he truly required Department Director Kang to suffer from myocardial infarction.
Ling Ran looked at Department Director Kang carefully. He had rosy cheeks as he drank wine, and he did not show any symptoms of him about to immediately suffer from myocardial infarction.
‘I’ll just let fate do its work.’ Ling Ran thought. Department Director Kang was not old enough. At his age, he only performed ten to twenty surgeries every week. Even if he did not eat quite healthily and drank quite a lot, it was still not easy for him to get a heart attack.
If he was dealing with department directors from departments like the General Surgery Department and Neurocranial Surgery Department, when the department directors were busy, they would not even be able to accept bribes like sexual bribery. When they were free to accept it, it was far too normal for them to get a heart attack or cerebral infarction instead.
Ling Ran then casually opened Peers’ Admiration Basic Treasure Chest given by He Liang before he picked up another piece of lobster and slowly ate it.
Under the bright and familiar light, a thick book emerged from the blue light.
Ling Ran blinked. Then, he saw the thick book opening, and a sentence of words appeared.
[Regional Anatomical Dissection Experience: Ten Times Heart Anatomical Dissection Experience]
Ling Ran frowned, but what he thought in his head was, ‘Does the book have to be so thick for just ten heart anatomical dissection experiences? Is the system clear with the concept of thickness?’
The book floating in the air shuddered until Ling Ran waved his hand to put it away. Then, the blue light disappeared completely. Next, a few searching gazes were exposed in front of Ling Ran.
“Doctor Ling, is the light suitable?” The head waiter obviously noticed Ling Ran narrowing his eyes just now, so he immediately came forward and asked.
“It’s good, you don’t have to adjust it.” Ling Ran added the last phrase on purpose, because he knew that if he did not deliberately state it, the waiters would probably come up with the idea of adjusting the brightness with the thought that this would be better.
The head waiter should have understood what he said, so he smiled and nodded. However, he did not immediately leave. He just hesitated slightly and whispered, “Doctor Ling, our colleague filmed you engraving on the raw egg just now in a Tik Tok video, can we upload it?”
“Oh.” Ling Ran already saw the waiter who took the video just now when he was still engraving the egg, so when he heard the question, he politely answered, “You can upload it.”
Ling Ran had a lot of photos and videos on the internet about himself, but most of them did not ask for his opinion about whether they could upload his videos or photos. Now, when they asked about his opinion, Ling Ran did not even have any reason to reject it.
The head waiter immediately expressed his gratitude. Then, he stood at the back happily.
Department Director Kang smiled as he raised his glass and said, “Actually, there is another way to play with a raw egg. You open the egg shell, make an incision on the membrane, and suture it. If the liquid from the egg does not leak out when it is turned over, then it’s counted as a successful suture. But you will need a microscope for that…”
“I brought surgical magnifying glasses over,” Ling Ran quickly answered and waved his hand. Then, Zuo Cidian gave him his surgical magnifying glasses.
Department Director Kang was stunned. “Why would you bring along surgical magnifying glasses when you come out?”
“To avoid encountering patients with ruptured Achilles tendons or severed fingers. It’s very inconvenient without the corresponding instruments.” After Ling Ran answered, he cast a meaningful glance at Department Director Kang.
Department Director Kang felt chills run down his spine because of Ling Ran’s stare, so he laughed subconsciously. “Doctor Ling, you’re pretty amusing.”
“Doctor Ling really said that when he asked us to bring the instruments over.” Zuo Cidian coughed and said, “I think I still need to clarify certain things, or else everyone will think that Doctor Ling brings along these instruments everyday.”
“True.” Department Director Kang laughed out loudly and said, “Many people think doctors will bring along the instruments when they go out, but how is this possible, right?”
“I will still bring along the tracheotomy pack.” Ling Ran corrected Department Director Kang. Then, he put on the surgical magnifying glasses, picked up the scalpel, positioned the egg until he was sure it was stable, and knocked it gently.
A number of phones were positioned from all directions at that moment.
