After Ling Ran was done carrying out debridement and suturing on a patient, he went back to his seat to rest .
The reporter dragged the cameraman along as he walked toward Ling Ran . They started talking about everything and nothing at the same time .
Of course, he was the sole person talking, Ling Ran did not even bother talking .
Zuo Cidian noticed that it was almost time, so he walked over to interrupt them . He promised the reporter that he would give him some information, and the latter finally left reluctantly .
Chief Physician Li was envious and sad at the same time when he saw their interaction .
He no longer had the chance to become the department director of the General Surgery Department of Yun Hua Provincial Hospital . Hence, he had given up and gotten involved in public health instead . However, it was impossible for him not to start fantasizing about things when he saw a reporter .
While it was already impossible for him to become the department director of the General Surgery Department, Chief Physician Li did not mind becoming the department director of a newly established Department of Public Health .
After working in the field for many years, different doctors might have different aims in life . But their work aspirations would be almost the same . Was there any doctor who did not dream of becoming a department director?
Even though most doctors would not get this opportunity until the end of their careers, a chief physician like Chief Physician Li was only one step away from becoming a department director .
It was a shame that he did not really have anyone backing him up .
Chief Physician Li watched as the reporter left the emergency room, and he could do nothing but let out a soft sigh .
The media could have done a good job of backing him up . However, the reporter did not seem interested in him, and even if the reporter were to force himself to write an article about him, it would be meaningless .
“I’ll be taking my leave, then . ” Chief Physician Li did not feel like staying in the emergency room and watching a young doctor like Ling Ran work .

“Let’s head out together,” Associate Chief Physician Deng said with a smile . He was also a little emotional . However, as the young and capable leader of a treatment group, he still had a bright future ahead of him . Hence, he was not as despondent as chief physician Li .
Lu Wenbin, who was standing beside Ling Ran and flexing his muscles, sighed softly too . He relaxed his muscles, and he looked like a buff doctor .
“Doctor Ling, there’re no more patients in the waiting room . Do you want to take a short rest?” Zuo Cidian handed Ling Ran a bottle of mineral water and whispered .
Ling Ran was a little surprised . “I’ve only treated one patient, and we’ve now run out of patients?”
“Yeah, there are no more patients . There was a patient with a stomach ache just now, and he was already treated . ” Zuo Cidian flashed a wan smile . Doctors like Ling Ran who began their career in a tertiary Grade A hospital might find this situation, where there were more doctors compared to patients, weird . However, this was basically what Zuo Cidian encountered every day during the first half of his career .
Ling Ran dejectedly whipped out his phone . He thought about it for a moment and decided to open the Ling Treatment Group’s WeChat group . He asked everyone a question . [What should be done during the preoperative period for patients with chronic Achilles tendon rupture?]
The doctors in the Ling Treatment Group could choose to give a long or short answer, and this was just the right question to ask them under the current circumstances .
Ling Ran was very satisfied with the question he came up with . He felt more at ease as he continued to play with his phone .
He played a game, and as expected, he lost . Ling Ran did not immediately start another game . Instead, he started pondering about things .
He was thinking about his “Perfect Surgery” mission .
It was relatively difficult to achieve perfection when it came to major surgeries like hepatectomy, and it was naturally easier to do so with minor surgeries . However, since the reward for the mission was only a Basic Treasure Chest, Ling Ran was not willing to spend too much energy on the mission .
It was not like he was looking down on Basic Treasure Chests, but lately, Basic Treasure Chests rarely gave him anything great .
When Ling Ran thought of this, he waved, and 37 basic treasure chests immediately appeared before him .

He had managed to perform 37 perfect surgeries, but he had opened none of the Basic Treasure Chests he received .
On one hand, it was because Ling Ran had way too many bottles of Energy Serum in his inventory . On the other hand, he would like to accumulate more Basic Treasure Chests in case he needed them at a later date .
But after receiving a notification regarding the mission right now, Ling Ran had the urge to open his Basic Treasure Chests .
There was no need to hesitate before opening Basic Treasure Chests, anyway, and 37 happened to be a prime number . Ling Ran waved and opened all the Basic Treasure Chests .
An array of… Energy Serums appeared before him . There was no surprise at all in that .
“Give me 37 more Basic Treasure Chests,” Ling Ran muttered internally, and 37 shiny Basic Treasure Chests appeared before him .
They opened to reveal another batch of Energy Serums .
“Thirty-seven more,” Ling Ran requested again .
The system gave him 37 more Basic Treasure Chests .
He repeated the same process four times before a skill book showed up .
It was a Single Skill Book, and he obtained a skill branch—Gastrointestinal Perforation Repair (Master Level) .
“The probability of obtaining a skill book is a little low . ” Ling Ran raised his chin . He was not very satisfied, and he did not plan to open more Basic Treasure Chests .
Ling Ran did not possess any skills related to the intestine right now, and Gastrointestinal Perforation Repair changed that . However, Ling Ran had no intention of carrying out intestinal surgery . This skill would most probably be a backup, and Ling Ran reckoned that he would never put it to use .
After opening four batches of Basic Treasure Chests, Ling Ran was left with fewer than 1,000 Basic Treasure Chests . He now had a total of 962 Basic Treasure Chests, and most of them Sincere Gratitude Basic Treasure Chests . Only a small part of them was from missions, and the number of Peers’ Admiration Basic Treasure Chests was about the same .
Ling Ran did the math, and he felt that he should save some Basic Treasure Chests for later . It was not easy to collect 1,000 Basic Treasure Chests .
“Where’s Yu Yuan?” Ling Ran looked around and realized that everyone was already getting started with the paperwork . Hence, he prepared to do some paperwork too .
Yu Yuan craned her head out from behind a corner .
“Let’s write a research paper . ” Ling Ran squeezed some alcohol-based hand sanitizer onto his hand . He rubbed his hands and switched on his laptop .
Yu Yuan hummed in acknowledgment and asked, “What kind of research paper would you like to write?”
“Since we’ve been carrying out hepatectomy lately, I have some ideas,” Ling Ran said as he thought about it .
Yu Yuan immediately switched on her laptop and said, “We do have quite a number of hepatectomy cases . ”
“I think that the classification regarding ways to deal with hepatectomy done using a laparoscope, via a small incision, or via a big incision can be further fine-tuned,” Ling Ran described his thoughts .
Ren Qi, who came from a county hospital, was sitting beside them right now . He was writing medical records with his laptop propped up on his belly, which was of above-average size . He was in a little bit of a daze .
‘Are you guys intending to write a research paper because you’re bored?
‘Do you guys get any kind of cases you guys want?
‘Aren’t you boasting a little too much right now?
‘When will my life be this great?’
Ren Qi was listening closely to their conversation . Ling Ran suddenly changed the topic and talked about a new idea .
“We can write a standalone research paper about hepatectomy done via small incisions .
“Since the current trend is still to carry out hepatectomy using a laparoscope and via large incisions, we should have accumulated quite a number of cases lately . ”
Ling Ran described his thought process as he spoke, and he made some notes on his laptop .
After carrying out surgeries for so many consecutive days, there were a lot of ideas in Ling Ran’s mind .
These ideas were different before Ling Ran mentally sorted them out and put them to paper . However, once he decided to materialize these ideas into words, he had to put in another round of hard work and think long and hard .
“Elevation of skill . Perfect Level hepatectomy is achieved . ” At some point in time, the system’s voice rang out in Ling Ran’s mind .
