Before going to sleep, Li Ling meticulously applied a super subtle layer of makeup on her face.

It was the kind of subtle makeup look that was applied so meticulously that any straight guy would not be able to tell that she was wearing makeup even if they were to carefully study her face.

Her best friend looked at Li Ling, who once again looked like a young woman who would score 90 out of 100 marks. She went against her conscience and praised Li Ling for a bit. She then asked, “He has even seen your goop before. Isn’t it too late to put on makeup now?”

Li Ling chuckled. Her gaze was electric. “So what? On the bright side, since he has seen me at my ugliest, there’s nothing that I need to be afraid of.”

“Are you afraid of losing?” her best friend asked in a soft voice.

Li Ling pouted. “It’s impossible that I will lose.”

Her best friend smiled.

“Look at my chest. Look at my slim waist,” Li Ling said solemnly, “These won’t lie.”

Her best friend gave a light tap on her a*s and nodded in agreement. “But Doctor Ling is truly handsome.”

“There’s nothing to be afraid of. Do you know what the best thing about young and handsome men is?

“The fact that they’re young!” Li Ling said with a determined gaze. “Since they’re young, it means that they’re unwise. No matter how handsome a man is, as long as he hasn’t seen the world yet, they would fall into our traps at the end of the day.”

When her best friend heard the word “our”, her eyes immediately lit up, and she started fantasizing.

Li Ling did not even need to turn to look at her best friend to know what was going on. “Stop thinking nonsense. By ‘us’, I mean that I’ll be seducing him, and you’ll be my wingwoman.”

“Go ahead and seduce him. I’ll be your wingwoman.” Her best friend flashed a plastic smile, showcasing friendship at its finest.

At three in the morning, Li Ling was woken up, and the first thing she did was to check her makeup.

“Time to get ready for the operation.” The nurse glanced at her, but she did not give any comment.

Li Ling hummed in acknowledgment and said, “Let me touch up my makeup.”

Even until she was being placed on the operating table, Li Ling refused to let go of her mirror.

The circulating nurse was too lazy to tell her off. She scolded the new medical interns who were standing around the operating table one by one.

“Tuck your scrubs into your pants.”

“Your hair shouldn’t be visible. All of you, get out of here and only come in after you tidy up.”

“Did you wear a bra? Who was the one who told you that you shouldn’t wear a bra?! Go and wear a bra before coming in again!”

When Li Ling heard this, she could not help but curse under her breath. ‘Must be some sl*t…’

This was when a familiar voice that was cool and handsome rang out. “Administer the anesthetics.”

Li Ling wanted to raise her head, but her eyelids started feeling heavy.

“Let’s get started,” Ling Ran asked for a medical instrument before making a curved incision above Li Ling’s belly button.

Zhang Anmin was his assistant. He stood between the patient’s leg and helped raise up the abdominal wall around the belly button using a pair of towel forceps.

Next, Ling Ran extended his hand and asked for a trocar. He inserted it into the patient’s abdominal cavity and started creating a pneumoperitoneum.

He was very familiar with these maneuvers, and to the audience, there were no problems at all.

Surgeons actually follow a lot of formulae, and most surgical maneuvers were fixed. Take the single-site umbilical laparoscopy that was going on right now as an example. The laparoscope was inserted via the umbilical cord, and for normal human beings, after a pneumoperitoneum was created, the anatomical structures inside were basically the same. Hence, the steps were also the same.

If any changes were made, it meant that the surgical method was being improved.

From the perspective of both doctors and patients, the fact that a surgical method followed a formula was a good thing.

With all the steps being adhered to, the surgery could be said to have gone smoothly. The prognosis might not be perfect, but a certain standard would be achieved.

For ordinary doctors, all they wanted was for a surgery to be completed without any accident. It would be even better if the surgery went even smoother, or if they were faster.

However, Ling Ran did not feel the same.

Unlike the skills that were given to him by the system, Ling Ran only possessed Specialist Level Cholecystectomy right now. So, he was not as skillful as his other skills.

He could handle an ordinary three site laparoscopy well. However, single-site laparoscopy had a higher requirement when it came to skills, and he felt an obvious difference.

Now that Ling Ran thought about it, he had carried out fewer than a hundred cholecystectomy via single-site laparoscopy.

To ordinary doctors, this was not a small number.

This was especially true for young doctors. Even after they got promoted to attending physician, they would only have acted as chief surgeon for a certain surgical method for about a hundred surgeries. Many resident doctors would not even have achieved this tally. Aside from common surgical methods such as appendectomy, they would at most have acted as chief surgeon in a couple dozens of surgery in other surgical methods.

If a person were to be even more specific and divide the surgical methods based on whether they were an open abdominal surgery, three-site laparoscopy or single-site laparoscopy, the doctors would only have acted as chief surgeons in an even smaller number of these surgeries.

Even some of the experienced attending physicians could not carry out as many surgeries as they want to.

Everyone spent most of their time and energy on the surgical methods that they were focused on, and it was inevitable that they might not be able to catch up when it came to some of the other surgical methods.

However, this situation did not apply to Ling Ran.

As Ling Ran operated on the patient, he thought about the similarities and differences of each surgical method.

This was not something that could be felt by patients, or even doctors who were watching the surgery. This was especially true for the doctors who did not possess any master-level skills. They would not make many discoveries just by watching a minor surgery like cholecystectomy.

Ling Ran would not fool himself.

“How many surgeries do we have lined up after this?” Ling Ran asked as he stared at the screen and lifted the patient’s gallbladder with a pair of forceps.

The operating theater immediately became silent.

Ling Ran did not usually like to chit-chat in the operating theater, but whenever he spoke, all the doctors would pay a lot of attention to him.

“Five more,” Zhang Anmin immediately answered.

According to what Zuo Cidian had scheduled, most of the patients today were from the Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery. Even though nowadays, the Emergency Medical Center and the Department of Hepatobiliary Surgery enjoyed an extremely close relationship, for the purpose of convenience, it was better to occupy the hospital beds in other departments as well as operate on the patients of other departments first.

Ling Ran, though, did not feel like operating on any more patients. He shook his head slowly and said, “There’s too many. Can you take over?”

Zhang Anmin froze for a moment. “I can, but…”

“Then, I’ll leave all five of them to you,” Ling Ran said decisively.

Zhang Anmin hummed in acknowledgment. He then asked subconsciously, “How about you?”

“I’ll think about it.” Ling Ran himself had not thought of what to do either. The Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic surgery of Yun Hua Hospital was weak, and their best surgeon, He Yuanzheng was focused on liver surgery. Ling Ran would rather study cholecystectomy himself than learn from He Yuanzheng.

The surgeons from the General Surgery Department were adept at cholecystectomy too, but he did not even know if their department director possessed Master Level Cholecystectomy.

Before Ling Ran could figure out what to do, the system had already given him a mission.

[Mission: The Quest for Knowledge]

[Mission Details: Elevate your cholecystectomy skills to Master Level]

[Mission Reward: Intermediate Treasure Chest]

Ling Ran pouted and commented internally. ‘I got an Intermediate Treasure Chest after elevating my cholecystectomy skills to Specialist Level, and I’m getting the same reward if I level up to Master Level? Isn’t this reward a little too unreasonable?’

The notification sparkled, but the words on it did not change.
