After Li Lei slowly left, Doctor Zhou's gaze was fixed on the concert ticket in Ling Ran's hand .
"Do you know how much Meng Xue's concert ticket costs?" Doctor Zhou's voice was trembling . The ticket Ling Ran got was a front seat ticket . As of then, the current price of a scalper's ticket for that seat was more expensive than finding a medical expert in Beijing .
"I know . "
"Hmm . . . you know it? Why would you know of this kind of thing?" Doctor Zhou looked at Ling Ran with amazement .
Ling Ran chuckled and said, "My mom listens to Meng Xue's songs . "
"Ah . . . alright . " Doctor Zhou gave up dejectedly and said, annoyed . "Why can't I meet such a great patient?"
Ling Ran looked him like how one would look at a person without ambitions for a few seconds, and showed a beaming smile . Doctor Zhou turned around and pretended not to see it .
By lunchtime, the crowd that was lined up had dispersed . Ling Ran opened his four recent Basic Treasure Chests he obtained from Sincere Gratitudes as he followed Doctor Zhou to the cafeteria . He only received four Energy Serums .
In terms of the number of people, the probability of receiving Sincere Gratitude for doing osteopathic manipulation treatment was low, and it was concentrated in the first half of the period . Ling Ran speculated that it was probably because the time for doing the osteopathic manipulation treatment was short . In just two or three minutes, although it made many people's cervical vertebra relax, their gratitude and sincerity was not much .
Moreover, it was likely to be related to a lack of comparison . Not everyone had tried osteopathic manipulation in the hospital .
Ling Ran would have gotten several times more Sincere Gratitude if everyone had tried osteopathic manipulation in the hospital before, accompanied by the praise of a white-haired authoritative doctor figure, and a shift in venue of the massage place from outdoors into the much more luxurious indoor setting .
Ling Ran started pondering over whether he should start farming for a new stack of Sincere Gratitude rewards .

Doctor Zhou saw that Ling Ran was a little dazed and was watching a television show that had some singing and dancing . He could not help but worry . "You aren't really considering becoming a celebrity, are you?"
Ling Ran was a good doctor . When he was here, not only did the business volume of the Emergency Department rise, he also never grumbled when they occasionally used him for the Debridement Room . He was unlike the other doctors . The younger ones would not make you feel at ease, and the older ones were crafty ghouls .
Moreover, Doctor Zhou really felt that Ling Ran could have a bright development on the medicine route . Not to mention that Ling Ran's M-Tang technique already had a good reputation . With his workload and obsessive-compulsive disorder, those could guarantee his future development .
In comparison, what good would it do to become a celebrity?
Celebrities would undoubtedly earn more money than doctors, their customer relations would be better than doctors, and the clothes they wear would be more beautiful than doctors . However, the work pressure of celebrities would be lesser than that of doctors . They would face fewer grandmothers than doctors, and their disputes were not as demanding as doctors . . .
Ling Ran was still staring at the television in a daze .
Doctor Zhou said a little nervously, "Although they look like they're singing and dancing happily, but off-stage, they have to toil away in the practice room . Rumor has it that some would need to rehearse for ten hours a day . "
Ling Ran just replied with an "oh" .
Doctor Zhou patted his head and scolded himself in silence, 'What am I thinking? This guy stays in the operating theater for more than ten hours every day . '
"What are you thinking now?" Doctor Zhou asked Ling Ren with a guilty conscience .
Ling Ran drank a bit of mineral water from the canteen, and slowly said, "I think the technique of cervical spinal manipulation could be applied to other places . However, it wouldn't be good to try without any former experience . "
"Huh? You were thinking about this?" exclaimed Doctor Zhou incredulously .

"What else would I be thinking about?" Ling Ran somehow felt that Doctor Zhou was a little lacking in IQ today .
Doctor Zhou awkwardly chuckled four times and asked, "If you were thinking about massage manipulation, why were you staring at TV?"
"Should I have closed my eyes?"
"No, I mean . . . forget it . " Embarrassed, Doctor Zhou sighed and returned to the topic, saying, "If you want to do massage manipulation, that's easy . I can let you massage my body any way you want for two hours . "
Doctor Zhou gave Ling Ran a heroic look .
How comfortable it would be to be massaged . Who had not gotten any cervical spondylosis, disc herniation, bone hyperplasia, carpal tunnel syndrome, or synovitis before?
"That won't work . " Ling Ran now had a basic understanding towards massage manipulation . He shook his head . "If I make a mistake, it may lead to paralysis . "
"Well, if that's the case . . . " Doctor Zhou could not help but hesitate .
A line suddenly appeared before Ling Ran, accompanied by the system's voice .
[Limited Time Mission: In three days, extra rewards can be obtained by using the massage manipulation method to relieve a patient's pain . ]
[Mission Details: Relieving pain is one of the many things which render value to a doctor's existence . By using massage manipulation methods, relieve the patient's pain for an accumulative ten thousand hours . ]
[Reward: Random massage manipulation method . ]
Ling Ran carefully read it through and immediately asked the system, "If I accumulate twenty thousand hours of pain relief, I would get two random massage manipulation methods?"
"Yes," the system replied clearly .
"By accumulating a total of ten thousand… if I cure a patient's cervical spondylosis, does that mean the remaining lifetime after he is cured would be counted as well?"
"The expected time of pain relapse would be the end time . "
Ling Ran curled his lips . Diseases such as cervical spondylosis could basically be regarded as an occupational disease . It would appear largely and frequently within a specific profession which required the person to work at a desk . Otherwise, not even one occurrence would be found .
Therefore, even if the cervical spondylosis was really cured, the time of it recurring would probably happen quite soon . The more likely situation to really cure it from the root was to completely change the habits of one's lifestyle; the massage could only alleviate the pain temporarily .
But no matter what, the mission must be done .
After Ling Ran thought up to this point, he picked up his bowl and began to eat ferociously .
Compared with the barbecue from the day before, today's canteen was somewhat lacking in good food . The oily eggplant stew was very mushy, the braised tofu was too tender, and the fried eggs with tomatoes were too soft . The only good thing was that they went well with rice; they could be easily swallowed into the stomach with the porridge-like rice .
"I'm full . " Ling Ran completed the task of eating at a rapid pace .
This was a skill he had practiced for many years . If it was the meal made by his mother Tao Ping, he would chew slowly and carefully taste it . If it was just glutinous rice that his old man had simply made, he would just swallow and devour it to only fill up his stomach .
Doctor Zhou looked at his plate in distress and looked somewhat like he was ambushed . The food inside his stomach was not even half-digested .
"You can continue eating . I'm going back to give people a massage . " Ling Ran took the plate and left . He did not even ask Doctor Zhou if he wanted to follow him .
Doctor Zhou became more indecisive . If he left now, his stomach would not be fed . If he did not leave, what if Ling Ran got snatched away?
Doctor Zhou thought about it while he ate . After contemplating it for about ten minutes, he decided to leave and took away the empty plate .
The courtyard .
There was a chair in front of Ling Ran . Behind the chair was a table with a row of alcohol-based hand sanitizers, and a thick stack of white towels . Behind the table was a crowd lining up .
People who had enjoyed the massage service in the morning not only lined themselves up, but were also constantly persuading the people around them to join the queue .
Ling Ran did not refuse anyone who came . Although some people's necks had been massaged in the morning, further massage could strengthen and extend the effect of the morning's massage .
In the hospital's Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment Department, the doctor would often request the patient to undergo massaging multiple times in order to strengthen and extend the effect of the massage .
Since the effect of a massage would last for some time, it would be best if the patients were massaged multiple times so that the effect would be prolonged . At this time, Ling Ran also chose a new method of massaging, focusing on pressure points, tapping, holding, and kneading, with the goal of balancing muscle strength .
He looked at the system prompts while he massaged .
[10/10000] kept jumping out .
[11/10000] . . . A number like [14/10000] was a keen reminder of the effects of his massage .
Ling Ran massaged and pondered as he tried to relieve the pain with the correct postures .
At this time, even if there were no mission, as long as there were numerical prompts, Ling Ran could not bear to stop .
