Chapter 40 begins: The Gaze of the Senior Doctor!

"Your surgery upgrade is a bit too fast. Did you have any insights after you went back?" the system NPC asked.

Ji Xiang paused for a moment, looking slightly confused.

"Originally, based on my life experience, I divided the surgery into three stages," the system NPC explained to Ji Xiang, smelling the scent of the white lingzhi mushroom.

"The first stage is when you see a mountain as a mountain. To paraphrase Wang Guowei's poem in 'Renjian Cihua', it is like the line: 'Last night the west wind withered the green trees, I climbed the high tower alone, and gazed to the ends of the earth.'"

"That corresponds to your LV1-LV4 levels."

Ji Xiang listened attentively.

I leveled up too quickly, so I didn't fully grasp some of the more abstract concepts. The system NPC recounted his long life's experience with surgery, summarizing and concluding with theoretical insights.

It may sound useless, but every single word is incredibly useful.

"The second stage is when one sees mountains as not mountains, and is also called 'I grow thinner and thinner, yet I have no regrets, for I am wasting away for her.'"

"I was exhausted yesterday," Ji Xiang said with a smile.

"That's nothing." The system NPC waved his hand, took a deep sniff of the smoke, and said, "That corresponds to levels 4-7."

"Finally, when you reach level 9 and the peak, you should experience the state of 'seeing mountains as mountains again.' As described in 'Renjian Cihua,' it is Xin Qiji's line: 'I searched for him a thousand times in the crowd, then suddenly turning around, I found him where the lights were dim.'"

Although Ji Xiang didn't understand, he memorized every word and phrase of the system NPC so that he could carefully review them when he performed surgery later.

"I used to perform sutures by hand, and later I used a suture device for circumcision. Although I don't specialize in this, I have my own experiences with the process."

"This is related to each person's understanding, state of mind, and environment. You will have your own experience, and this is your own path."

The system NPC didn't go into the details today, but instead gave a high-level explanation of the basis for the classification and his own experience.

"Unfortunately, fewer and fewer people are able to calmly and patiently work on their work. Later, Zhou Congwen and his colleagues revised the initial plan, which I felt would lead to an unstable foundation."

"How can we ensure stability?" Ji Xiang asked.

"Interact more with clinicians; experience joy and sorrow, happiness and sadness. It may seem unrelated to medicine, but it's all part of the medical process," the system NPC said. "Do you have any surgeries today?"

"Yes, we need to go to a private hospital with Professor Mo for the surgery."

"Go." The system NPC waved its hand, its deformed hand firmly holding the white Ganoderma lucidum, as if it were everything to the system NPC.

"Teacher, I'll head back now."

Ji Xiang left the system and carefully pondered the stages mentioned by the system NPC, but he didn't gain anything.

He also knew that such general and summarizing things required time to understand, so he wasn't in a hurry.

Yesterday, I made an appointment with Mo Chenggui to go to the urology hospital for surgery this morning.

After taking stock of his achievements, Ji Xiang, full of energy, had breakfast with the old man and then rode his bicycle to the urology hospital.

Looking at his son's radiant appearance, Ji Xiang's father couldn't help but chuckle as he recalled his worries from the previous night.

But it's a bit strange that my son's body sometimes seems to be overworked and other times he's full of energy.

When Ji Xiang arrived at the urology hospital, he didn't go in but stood outside waiting for Mo Chenggui.

Today, an expert from the capital city is coming to perform a lengthening procedure, so the appointment time between the two of them was moved up a bit.

"Good morning, Dr. Ji." Mo Chenggui drove to the hospital and greeted Ji Xiang when he saw that Ji Xiang had already arrived.

This young man was very punctual, and Mo Chenggui already had a very good impression of Ji Xiang, so he was even more impressed now.

"Good morning, Professor Mo," Jixiang said with a smile.

Having upgraded his circumcision skill to level 9 and received a ton of rewards, and having listened to a sermon by a system NPC, Ji Xiang was in a particularly good mood.

"There aren't many surgeries today, only 10," Mo Chenggui said. "I'll schedule the rest for tomorrow."

"Oh." Ji Xiang knew that Mo Chenggui was going to observe the lengthening technique of the big shots in the capital.

Actually, Ji Xiang also wanted to see it.

Observing high-level surgeries is a way to learn from others' experiences and improve one's own skills.

Upon arriving at the operating room, they changed their clothes and began the surgery without saying a word.

Mo Chenggui originally thought he had understood Ji Xiang and knew just how far this exceptionally talented young man could go.

When he first entered clinical practice, the surgical completion rate was just as high as his own, and even surpassed his own in terms of hand speed. Professor Mo thought about it for a long time before accepting this fact.

but!

As soon as he reached out today, Mo Chenggui felt that something was wrong.

The two had worked together on dozens of surgeries and had developed some rapport. But today, as soon as they started, Mo Chenggui felt that the surgical process was bumpy and difficult.

Although it was extremely fast, something felt off.

The problem lies with myself; I couldn't keep up with Ji Xiang's pace!

The little guy who performed the surgery so skillfully and quickly yesterday seemed to be deliberately hiding something, or perhaps he improved after sleeping all night...

After realizing this, Mo Chenggui felt bewildered.

Ji Xiang's hand speed is extremely fast, but for some reason today, it's even faster.

The circumcision surgery, which normally takes 4 minutes, was completed in just 3 minutes and 43 seconds, even with poor teamwork.

"Dr. Xiao Ji...you..." Mo Chenggui was speechless.

Ji Xiang was a little embarrassed. "Professor Mo, I'm sorry, I'll take a little longer to finish the surgery."

"..." Mo Chenggui was in tears.

This is too honest! For the first time, Mo Chenggui hated the fine quality of honesty.

Despite his speed, Ji Xiang performed the surgery with remarkable steadiness, paying attention to every step without any negligence. As a result, Professor Mo felt as if he were observing a top surgeon in Beijing or Shanghai as Ji Xiang performed his operation.

He reflected on his own surgical procedure and gained some vague insights.

After six surgeries, Mo Chenggui and Ji Xiang gradually found their optimal pace of cooperation, and their collaboration became increasingly harmonious.

Mo Chenggui was also helpless.

He knew young people had fast hands, but he never expected Ji Xiang's hands to be so fast, to the point that it made him feel intimidated.

This child is growing at an inhumanly fast pace.

Perhaps, this is talent?

"Dr. Gu, this is our operating room. To prevent patients from getting infected during surgery, it was built as a laminar flow operating room according to the strictest regulations. It's no exaggeration to say that it's not much different from the operating rooms in your hospital," came the voice of Dean Li introducing the operating room.

Ji Xiang focused on the surgery, wanting to see the difference between a top-tier surgeon in China and a system NPC performing the procedure.

"What standard?" an old voice asked jokingly.

"The U.S. federal standard Class 1000 is defined as ≤1000 particles ≥0.5μm per cubic foot of air or ≤35 particles per liter of air." Dean Li knew the standard by heart.

"Hmm." The aged voice was clearly satisfied.

The operating room door opened, and Dean Li introduced, "This operating room is for circumcision, performed by Professor Mo from the Second Affiliated Hospital..."

Before he could utter the words "chief surgeon," Dean Li saw Mo Chenggui standing in the assistant's position, while the surgeon was that young man who spoke in a taunting manner and was as wild as a small beast.

To say that Professor Mo was the surgeon would be a blatant lie, and Old Master Gu would certainly be dissatisfied.

Old Gu exclaimed "Eh?" and stepped inside.

He stood behind Ji Xiang, and a few seconds later, Professor Zhou Tianbo immediately picked up a footstool and placed it at Gu Lao's feet.

While Professor Zhou was examining the surgery, Ji Xiang was already pulling the trigger and driving in nails.

Old Gu didn't say a word. After the surgery was completed, Ji Xiang checked the frenulum and other areas for bleeding as if he had an obsessive-compulsive disorder. He repaired a few more places, then turned and left without comment.

"Professor Gu, Professor Mo also insisted on bringing a student along and even letting the student perform the surgery." Dean Li explained to Professor Gu as soon as he came out of the operating room, as he did not want his hospital to leave any stain on Professor Gu's reputation.

"The child's surgery went well," Professor Zhou said frankly.

"Just not bad?" Old Gu lowered his head in thought, and when he heard Professor Zhou say this, he turned around and glanced at him.

"Oh? It's very good." Professor Zhou was taken aback by the question.

Old Gu shook his head slightly, seemingly lost in thought.

……

As the next patient was brought in, Mo Chenggui said, "Dr. Xiao Ji, the surgery over there is about to begin."

Ji Xiang understood.

Then let's go all out with our hands!

Surgery is surgery; we can't just focus on speed. We also need to do it well and avoid any future problems.

The scenes that Ji Xiang empathized with were things he didn't want to experience himself, nor did he want his patients to experience.

Unleash your ultimate attack!

As the next patient was brought in, Ji Xiang prepared to showcase his new skills.

However, when he tried to activate the skill, a screen appeared that said, "Insufficient energy. Please add surgical points to activate the skill."

Emmm, it requires one surgery point to unlock.

Although you have some surgery points now, they are a form of hard currency and can be used to buy medicine.

Ji Xiang hesitated when he thought about the practicality of the endurance potion.

Should we use this skill or not?

It's unbearable that a single "broken" skill requires you to consume surgery points!

"Dr. Ji?" Professor Mo patted Ji Xiang when he saw him in a daze and handed him a syringe filled with anesthetic.

Ji Xiang sighed, realizing he could only use a few surgical points to activate [Superior Doctor's Gaze].

If it doesn't work well, I'll use it less in the future. After all, things like +100% compatibility seem unnecessary, Ji Xiang thought to himself.

As Ji Xiang used the skill, he didn't feel anything, but Mo Chenggui, who was standing next to him, froze. A vast and unparalleled power suddenly appeared beside him, and his mind was almost crushed in an instant.

What's going on? Mo Chenggui barely managed to calm himself down, then realized with horror.

Without realizing it, his waist had already bent slightly.

It's just a circumcision, why are you so nervous?

The last time I was this nervous was when I was a graduate student, when I went on stage for the first time to perform surgery with my late professor.

Mo Chenggui came from a prestigious medical school, and no one in the Department of Urology at the Second Affiliated Hospital could put such pressure on him. Or rather, since his teacher passed away, no one has put such pressure on him, and no one has truly become his superior doctor.

He chuckled self-deprecatingly. Damn it, was he just too eager to see Old Master Gu have surgery?

It's just a lengthening procedure.

Only.

He tried to relax, and the next second, the hemostat slammed onto the radial styloid process with a "snap".

"Focus your attention."

A cold voice came from behind.
