When the Doctor Uses A Hack

Chapter 7: I Have Expanded

Translator: 549690339

[Suture Needle (White), any suture needle you use in the future will have the attribute: Sharpness +1!]

Chen Cang finally understood, it meant that from now on, whenever he used a suture needle, it would possess the attribute of Sharpness +1.

But… what exactly does Sharpness +1 entail?

Mystified!

Forget it, it must just mean really sharp, right?

After the surgery, the patient suddenly asked, “Doctor, where’s my appendix?”

Chen Cang: …

Such an obsession!?

A nurse, carrying a tray, approached the man, “Look, this is your appendix!”

Upon seeing it, the man immediately felt nauseous, “No! It’s your appendix now, take it… even my dog wouldn’t eat this thing, it’s too disgusting.”

“Damn, this isn’t like what I found on Baidu online. How can it look like this? So gross!”

Chen Cang coughed and said, This is not your average appendix.

Indeed, it was an acutely inflamed, perforating appendix!

It was an appendix that, in an effort to resist its host’s habit of eating and drinking recklessly, rebelled and strived to grow into a rare appendiceal monstrosity!

The nurse smiled and took it back.

She was long unfazed by such things, to the point where she could continue eating her meal, unimpeded by its presence!

Chen Bingsheng said, “Send it to pathological department for a biopsy.”

The young nurse nodded and left.

It seemed that the anesthesia was wearing off the man quickly, his mind was sharp, “Doctor, my stomach got anesthetized, so logically, my stomach should be numb too, right? Then how come I felt like throwing up when I saw that thing? I still felt nauseated?”

Chen Cang felt that the man had raised a very profound question!

How can you feel nauseated with an anesthetized stomach? Quite philosophical!

Chen Bingsheng laughed, “That’s disgust! A mental issue!”

The nurses in the operating room couldn’t hold back any longer and burst out laughing!

Even Chen Cang laughed heartily.

The man scratched his head, “Makes sense!”

The effects of the anesthesia didn’t seem to have worn off completely yet; he hadn’t quite caught on, but he was already being wheeled out of the operating room and to the ward.

Anesthesiologist Liu Jian came over, and seeing that Chen Cang had finished the surgery, he smiled, “How did it feel to lead a surgery for the first time?”

Chen Cang sighed, “I didn’t get the thrill of being the chief surgeon!”

Liu Jian was taken aback, “What kind of thrill is there to being the chief surgeon?”

Chen Cang, “To have an assistant do the work! As my life’s first assistant, Chen Senior didn’t even acknowledge me, let alone assist.”

Liu Jian was speechless, “You little rascal, you’re acting coy after getting a bargain? Expecting Chen Bingsheng to assist you? You’re gutsy, eh?”

Chen Cang laughed; he was only joking.

He left the operating room together with Chen Senior and when they washed their hands with no one else around, Chen Bingsheng couldn’t help but complain, “You should practice your suturing when you get back. What the hell kind of stitching was that? It’s damn ugly. I was too embarrassed to mention it in front of everyone; bringing it up would be humiliating for me!”

Chen Cang awkwardly smiled.

[Ding! High-level NPC Chen Bingsheng issues a quest: Improve suturing skill to advanced level! Reward: One skill point.]

Chen Cang was delighted!

What an unexpected windfall!

Skin Wound Suturing: Intermediate: 1679/2000.

Time to buckle down these next few days and focus on improving it. Using skill points now seems wasteful; it’s better to wait a while.

But what’s the use of skill points?

Chen Cang was quite curious.

[Ding! Skill level upgrade from beginner to intermediate requires one skill point, intermediate to advanced requires two skill points, advanced to master requires four, and master to perfect requires eight skill points!]

Chen Cang nodded; so that’s how it is!

Skill points are used to improve skill levels.

He’d better save this precious skill point.

The morning had been very fruitful indeed.

[Ding! NPC Chen Bingsheng’s quest complete, successfully performed two appendicitis surgeries with good results. Reward: Chen Bingsheng’s Appendix Surgery Insights*1]

Insights on the appendix surgery from Chen Senior?

Is that useful?

Chen Cang clicked to receive the reward, and a series of information instantly zipped into his mind.

Intrusion!

Unbearable!

Inside were all scenes of blood and gore, Senior Chen’s surgical insights, which he had accumulated from performing surgery time and again.

Until they culminated in Senior Chen’s realizations.

Chen Cang slowly savored them, and gradually made them his own.

He digested and absorbed them in his mind…

Merging…

[Ding! You’ve absorbed Chen Bingsheng’s appendix surgery insights and gained +1000 appendectomy experience points!]

[Ding! Your appendectomy skill has advanced to intermediate: Appendectomy: 300/2000 (Intermediate);]

Chen Cang was thrilled!

A straight thousand points of appendectomy experience, how rich is that!

Awesome!

At that moment, Chen Cang felt as if he had ascended, the feeling was indescribable.

Big Chen, do you have any more insights?

In one morning, two surgeries netted me 300 yuan, pretty sweet.

Ah, so much money, how should I spend it?

The life of the wealthy is just so tedious…

And dull!

After returning to the department, Chen Bingsheng went home for dinner feeling happy, while Chen Cang couldn’t be bothered to go back and forth and preferred the comfort of the duty room.

I’ll just order some takeout on my phone.

Thinking of the money I made today, Chen Cang decided to treat himself!

There’s a decent Lanzhou beef noodle place nearby, so he went straight to the app.

The only issue with the Lanzhou beef noodles was that there was too little meat, despite the taste being quite good, with just two slices in a bowl!

Maybe…

I should go for the ‘beef freedom’ option???

Chen Cang suddenly had a terrible thought.

Considering the unexpected income of over three hundred yuan today, Chen Cang felt he was growing bolder.

Even daring to think about getting extra beef while ordering Lanzhou beef noodles!

He ordered a bowl of beef noodles for 12 yuan.

But adding an extra portion of beef cost 3 yuan more, and Chen Cang gritted his teeth and added ten portions!

Thirty yuan—Chen Daren decided to indulge in the luxury of ‘beef freedom’!

Thinking of the shop owner’s stunned and admiring expression, Chen Cang smacked his lips to keep the saliva from dripping out.

Ah, the life of the rich is just so tedious…

Daring to add ten portions of beef to their beef noodles.

This must be the life of the rich…

He scrolled through his phone for a while, checking out updates from his favorite authors.

Without realizing it, half an hour passed, the takeout arrived, and Chen Cang eagerly opened the packaging, ready to indulge in the delight of wolfing down meat, when suddenly…

He was stunned by the sight before him!

This…

Is this supposed to be the 30-yuan beef?

Is this the so-called ‘beef freedom’?

Chen Cang saw dozens of beef slices as thin as cicada wings floating on top of the noodles, emitting a faint fragrance…

This is barely twenty slices, isn’t it?

And Chen Cang felt he could finish all this beef in one bite if it were bunched together!

So this is what 30-yuan beef is…

Chen Cang felt like crying.

For 30 yuan, I could buy a kilo to stew at home!

Taking a deep breath, Chen Cang ate his expensive bowl of beef noodles with tears in his eyes.

What a loss!

However, it was at this moment that something dawned on Chen Cang!

With 20 slices of beef for 30 yuan, each bowl only comes with two slices!

This meant that it could make ten bowls of beef noodles, and with each bowl costing twelve yuan, it would total 120 yuan, which meant that the owner could make 120 yuan from these 20 slices of beef!

And selling them to me for only 30 yuan meant!

The owner lost 90 yuan!

Even though I lost 30 yuan,

The owner also lost ninety yuan to me!

That being the case, there was only one truth!

This round, it couldn’t be considered a failure, at most a pyrrhic victory.

Ah…

I swear I’m a genius!

Buying a bowl of noodles has become a battle of wits with the owner.

So tiring.

I’ll have spicy hot pot tomorrow…
