The 30-minute peak experience was an eye-opener for Zheng Ren.
When the time was up, exhaustion from the depths of his soul washed over him like a tidal wave. He wanted nothing more than to lie down and sleep.
However, Zheng Ren knew he could not do that now. Go home and study the System. That was the only thought in his mind.
There was only a scrub nurse and an anesthesiologist in the operating theater. Zheng Ren greeted them and left in a hurry.
Zheng Ren did not have time to take a shower. He quickly changed his clothes and hailed a cab back to his house.
…
…
Although the property prices in Sea City were not as high as those in Imperial Capital or Sorcery Capital, it was still a provincial capital. With his current salary, Zheng Ren would never be able to buy a house in full in his lifetime.
He was an orphan who grew up in an orphanage. After he entered university, he relied on the financial support from kind-hearted people and the annual first-class scholarship to barely survive for five years and obtain a degree and graduation certificate.
However, that was the end of his ivory tower life. Due to financial constraints, he had to reject the chance to be exempted from postgraduate studies and work in Sea City First People's Hospital.
No matter how hardworking he was, his salary and bonus were limited. He had no choice but to rent a room with someone nearby.
Zheng Ren returned to his room of a few square meters and exhausted the last of his strength.
However, he did not want to rest. The curiosity in his heart was like a kitten scratching at it. He closed his eyes and focused, his consciousness entering an unknown space.
Green mountains, clear water, and fresh air were refreshing. It was a completely different world.
Zheng Ren looked around and found himself in a valley. In front of him was a thatched hut with a white fox statue lying at the door.
The statue was lifelike with every strand of hair clearly visible. Zheng Ren would not be surprised if the statue came to life in the next moment.
There was a small pond between Zheng Ren and the thatched hut. The water was so clear that he could see the bottom.
Was he dreaming? Zheng Ren was in a trance.
"Welcome to the System. Please receive your reward for the newbie mission," the cold robotic female voice said again.
Zheng Ren listened carefully. The voice came from all directions and there was no way to locate the speaker.
As soon as the voice finished, the space in front of Zheng Ren fluctuated slightly and an ancient wooden box appeared in front of him.
This was the System's reward? Zheng Ren picked up the box and weighed it in his hand.
The box was made of ordinary wood and was not heavy. Zheng Ren waited for a while, but the robotic voice did not continue.
Zheng Ren took a deep breath and solemnly opened the wooden box. It was probably for him to receive the reward.
A bright light flashed, and the mechanical voice appeared again.
"Talent System unlocked. The host has obtained a novice reward of 5 experience points and 1 Energy Potion."
The brilliance flew out of Zheng Ren's hand like a meteor and landed on the grass not far away.
A floating, translucent panel appeared in front of him with the words "325 General Surgery Skill Points" clearly displayed on it.
Is this a skill tree? Zheng Ren observed carefully. There was an explanation of the classification next to it.
Beginner Skill Points: 0100
Intermediate 101,300 skill points.
Advanced Skill Points 3011,000.
Expert Skill Points: 10,015,000
There were also markings for Master, Grandmaster, Master, and Pinnacle, but they were all gray. It seemed that they weren't open to him yet.
Zheng Ren pondered in his heart. The beginner level was probably equivalent to that of a resident doctor who had just started working. The intermediate level was equivalent to an attending physician. His general surgery skills had already surpassed the intermediate level and reached the advanced level. He should have already reached the level of an associate chief physician. This was related to his accumulation over the years.
As for the Master, Grandmaster, and Legend ranks, Zheng Ren was very curious about their level. If the Pinnacle experience represented the final pinnacle, then Professor Ichiro Moriyu's ability was probably between the Grandmaster and Legend ranks.
Zheng Ren could not help but click his tongue at the thought.
The world's top professor was not even at the Pinnacle level. The System's requirements were too strict.
If he could reach it … Zheng Ren's heart burned with passion.
However, he remembered that he had only accumulated 325 skill points after five years of hard work. He was still far from the Expert level, let alone the Grandmaster or Pinnacle level.
The best general surgery skill was at the intermediate level. Other imaging, internal medicine, physical examination, and so on were only at the beginner level, and the experience points were just at the intermediate level. The weakest skill was gynecology, which only had a few skill points.
'I should strengthen the general surgery skill.' Zheng Ren thought for a while and invested all the 5 experience points he obtained from the novice reward into the general surgery skill.
A bright number confirmed that the general surgery skill had reached 330 points.
Zheng Ren carefully observed his surroundings and tried to walk further away. He soon realized that the Intermediate level of movement was only about 100 square meters, and there was an invisible wall around it that isolated the small space.
The cold, mechanical female voice of the System did not appear again.
"System, are there any other missions?" Zheng Ren asked tentatively.
There was no reply. The entire space was unusually quiet, and Zheng Ren could almost hear the echoes.
How strange. Did the System not announce the next mission so that the host could continue to grow stronger? That was how it was in web novels. Why was it different for his System?
However, the air here was really fresh. Zheng Ren gradually calmed down and took a deep breath, almost suffering from oxygen poisoning.
It seemed that he was used to inhaling smog and could not adapt to the normal oxygen concentration, Zheng Ren teased himself.
Zheng Ren soon felt tired because he did not expect the exciting scene.
It seemed that the Pinnacle experience had consumed too much of his energy. Should he try an energy serum?
The thought flashed through Zheng Ren's mind before he killed it.
It was too extravagant. It was better to rely on sleep to complete the body's recovery.
Zheng Ren's consciousness returned to the real world, and he quickly fell into a deep sleep as he thought about the various strange things that happened today.
…
…
Zheng Ren was awakened from his deep sleep by an ear-piercing ringtone. Reflexively, he bounced out of bed and answered the call.
It was a necessary skill for a young surgeon to answer emergency calls 24 hours a day.
Zheng Ren had already maxed out his skill tree on this skill.
"Zheng Ren, what the hell did you do today?!"
Chief Surgeon Liu from the first general surgery department roared and cursed at Zheng Ren. Zheng Ren could almost feel Chief Surgeon Liu's saliva splattering all over the phone and landing on his face.
"Chief Surgeon Liu, what's wrong?" Zheng Ren asked calmly.
"You know very well what you've done!" Chief Surgeon Liu did not answer Zheng Ren's question directly. "You skipped the surgery and disobeyed the orders of your superiors. Do you think a pancreaticoduodenectomy is something you can do?! You'll be responsible for the consequences of the patient's condition! "
Chief Surgeon Liu seemed to have forgotten that he had told Zheng Ren to continue with the surgery when the operating theater had vibrated inexplicably.
Consequences? A smile appeared at the corner of Zheng Ren's mouth. What a joke. The Pinnacle experience was definitely not a problem.
"Report to the emergency department tomorrow. This is Director Fu's order." After that, Chief Surgeon Liu hung up without giving Zheng Ren a chance to defend himself.
Uh … Zheng Ren was not annoyed by Chief Surgeon Liu's bad attitude, but his mood was a little down.
The unreliable System seemed to have disappeared. He entered the previous space and looked around, but nothing had changed.
Was his surgical career about to end?
