Chapter 13: Special Rewards
Chen Cang suddenly found the color of the eyelids was yellow.
What does yellow mean?
He remembered clearly.
Healthy organs are green in color, while lesions are red, and now there was yellow.
What does yellow mean?
Ding! Yellow represents the need for repair, indicating further improvement is needed to achieve perfection!
Chen Cang was stunned.
So that's how it is!
However...
When Chen Cang looked up again at Mrs. Qian, he suddenly noticed... the corners of the lips, the root of the nose were all tinged with a hint of yellow.
Did this mean that these areas could be corrected and perfected?
Chen Cang nodded to himself in agreement, so that was the meaning.
He turned around, his mind wandered, and he looked at himself in the Mirror.
He nodded with satisfaction: not bad, no yellow on him, green all over, just perfect!
Good, good!
Green... green... green?!
Pah!
Still wanting green?
Girlfriend-less and still daydreaming, wishful thinking!
This feature was quite practical, appearing whenever he wished, and invisible otherwise, it was indeed a nice skill.
The surgery continued.
Ding! Ordinary single eyelid, a single eyelid despised by its owner, affecting the aesthetic of the face, lv15. Suggestion: Can be corrected to make the eyes more beautiful.
The surgery kept progressing!
Buried suture wasn't difficult, mainly the choice of point location was vital, followed by the process of stitching and burial, which was even more crucial!
The stitching was directly related to the outcome of the surgery, affecting the future appearance of the eyelids.
Zhang Zhixin was very careful!
Using a double-needle suture technique, a size six absorbable suture with double needles was introduced at point A on the conjunctival surface, and then passed through the corresponding point on the skin surface. Another needle did the same, entering at the conjunctival point, piercing subcutaneously for 3mm before emerging at point B accordingly, before finally emerging from the entry point and passing shallowly through the eyelid plate from point A.
The most critical step had come!
Tying a knot!
The knotted suture was buried underneath the skin!
The first point was done!
Chen Cang looked relaxed, but in reality, each stitch on the eyelid had to be precise and careful, with no room for negligence—it was a step-by-step effort!
Chen Cang realized that this was actually a combination of physical and meticulous work.
The next points were to follow.
The surgery lasted nearly an hour, Zhang Zhixin didn't move a muscle, completing each step in turn.
Chen Cang, on the other hand, had many thoughts, but he also felt as if he was getting into the role a bit.
The surgery was finished!
He covered the double eyelids with eye pads!
He said to Mrs. Qian, "Rest here today, and I'll check the results tomorrow. The surgery went very well, and I'm quite satisfied with it. Let the nurses clean and disinfect this area in the next couple of days. Don't touch it yourself, and remember to use the antibiotic eye drops for a week!"
Mrs. Qian nodded, since it was just a local infiltration anesthesia, it hardly counted as any anesthesia.
And moreover...
Chen Cang felt that there was really no need for this upscale operating room...
It could've been done in a treatment room!
Since it was a follow-along surgery, Chen Cang didn't get much of a reward.
But it had opened a window for him.
Surgical skills, you only possess them after you've done them yourself; watching them countless times is not as good as doing it once.
Nevertheless, Chen Cang was gradually getting into the profession.
Today he had done a total of six or seven double eyelid surgeries, with Zhang Zhixin working non-stop, one after another, all by prior appointment.
Chen Cang was also gradually getting into his role, from being at a loss at first to starting to help with retraction, acquiring some fundamental knowledge.
Zhang Zhixin couldn't help but see Chen Cang in a new light.
Just as Chen Bingsheng had said, Chen Cang did have a real talent for surgery, a promising candidate, and moreover, Chen Cang was very young, only in his twenties, which for a surgeon, age is the lifeline of their career!
The earlier one starts, the better!
After a tiring day, Chen Cang didn't feel bored, but rather, quite excited.
The difference between plastic surgery and general surgery lies in finding faults!
General surgery is about locating the lesion to be removed!
While plastic surgery is about finding areas that are not suitable, to repair them.
Very interesting!
Two days passed in the blink of an eye.
Chen Cang also completed the task given by Zhang Zhixin satisfactorily.
Sitting in the office, Zhang Zhixin took out an envelope and handed it over, "You've worked hard these two days, have you gained any insights?"
Chen Cang declined, feeling that he couldn't accept it.
Because he saw very clearly, Zhang Zhixin didn't need his help; he could manage all by himself.
He was mentoring him, training him, or more accurately, cultivating him.
With such kindness from someone else, Chen Cang naturally would not fail to appreciate it.
He couldn't take the money.
Chen Cang nodded slightly, "I've learned a lot, thank you for the mentorship, Mr. Zhang! But... I can't take this money."
Zhang Zhixin's expression suddenly changed, and he stared solemnly at Chen Cang, "Do you think your labor is worthless?"
Chen Cang was startled!
Zhang Zhixin continued, "You are a doctor; your labor is valuable. You must not underestimate your own work. This is not about being polite; I'm not giving out of pity but for cooperation. I pay you money, you do the work for me. Right now, you are like an apprentice, but you know, a talented apprentice is hard to find. Whether I'm training you for your own good or because I want you to make money for me in the future, I'm a businessman as well as a doctor. We adhere to equal cooperation; there is no such thing as obligatory labor here in a private hospital! So, you must take this money. Consider it your internship salary."
Having said that, Zhang Zhixin stood up and added, "Let's go, I'll drive you home."
Chen Cang was dumbfounded.
He suddenly felt that Mr. Zhang's words made a lot of sense.
I've finally found the reason for my poverty.
Sitting in the dominating chair, Chen Cang felt an air of authority enveloping him.
[Ding! Mid-level NPC Zhang Zhixin has issued a task: Assist Zhang Zhixin for two days. Task completed, reward obtained: 1. Special reward; 2. RMB +1000;]
Chen Cang was delighted!
The task was completed.
A thousand yuan, plus whatever was in the envelope Zhang Zhixin gave him, which according to him should be 600, meant a total gain of 1600 in two days.
That felt pretty good!
Keep up the effort next week.
However, what excited Chen Cang even more was the other reward, the special reward!
What was the special reward?
Chen Cang didn't want to check it in the car, in case he would have a hard time explaining if a transformer or a life-size inflatable doll appeared.
Chen Cang lived in an urban village where the rent was cheap.
At the moment, the place was crowded, so Chen Cang said goodbye to Zhang Zhixin early and got out of the car.
He quickly bought something to eat, returned to the rented room in the landlord's self-built house, locked the door, and before he could eat, Chen Cang washed his hands.
After all, who knows whether luck has any use?
He saw a lucky bag on the virtual screen.
Chen Cang clicked to claim it!
[Ding! Would you like to claim the special reward?]
Chen Cang confirmed!
[Ding! Congratulations, you have received the special reward: a lucky bag, which can randomly contain a gift when opened.]
A lucky bag?
What on earth is a lucky bag?
Could there be a great treasure inside?
ps: All suggestions are welcome, thank you!
