Chapter 226: Chapter 227: Bai Qiuen’s Mask
Everyone suddenly realized that Chen Cang was no longer beside the operating table.
Where did he go?
Turning around, they saw that Chen Cang had already:
taken off his gloves,
removed his mask,
picked up his phone,
and was taking pictures.
Chen Cang was also curious about what this worm inside the cyst looked like now that it had burst.
The cyst had burst, and Chen Cang saw inside… well, it was fascinating, and quite appetite-stirring, a bit like the wide rice noodles you find in hot pot, also somewhat resembling soaked rice paper… Hmm, those bits around it, anyone with trypophobia would absolutely love it! Eh? It’s even pink in color!
This was Chen Cang’s first time seeing such a thing; naturally, he found it fresh and began snapping photos with his phone, click-click-click.
The doctor next to him couldn’t help but ask, “Dr. Chen, what are you doing?”
Chen Cang smiled, “It’s not every day you see a hydatid cyst in the lung. Shouldn’t I take a photo to cherish the moment?”
Upon hearing this, everyone agreed it made sense.
They took out their phones and started taking photos en masse.
The nurse who had finished cleaning up looked at Chen Cang, finding him more and more exciting the more she watched.
This Dr. Chen was truly impressive!
Handsome and skilled, with a pair of skilled hands… Art!
Nurse A, watching Chen Cang, couldn’t help but pick up her phone to take photos as well, “Dr. Chen is so compassionate!”
Nurse B nodded, “Yeah, Dr. Chen must really like small animals, right?”
Nurse C added, “They say people who like small animals are tender to their wives.”
The head nurse chimed in, “That’s right! Little Chen must have a lot of girls who like him!”
Everyone was stunned, was there such logic?
We had no idea!
Chen Cang just awkwardly smiled, feeling a bit strange being praised by so many people, and a bunch of women at that… emmmmm, but quite enjoyed it?
Meanwhile, Jing Ran’s scalp tingled as he watched the group of nurses, his eyelids twitching. Wasn’t this flattery a bit too much?
Just because you like echinococcus means you like small animals?
Could you at least be a bit more heartfelt with your flattery?
Fangirling is fangirling… don’t be like this, please.
But Jing Ran knew the importance of an operating room’s nurses. As the team with the strongest influence in the surgical field, maintaining good relations with them, becoming one of them! It was crucial for the promotion and propagation of his future image, staying in line with the operating room nurses was especially important for his career development!
With this in mind, Jing Ran forced a smile, “Right! It’s quite cute, I’ll take a photo too!”
As he spoke, he picked up his phone and began taking pictures.
Nurse A was taken aback, “Dr. Jing… your taste is so unique, to find this parasite cute!”
Nurse B agreed, “Dr. Jing has quite the peculiar taste!”
Nurse C exclaimed, “Eek… it looks so disgusting.”
The head nurse commented, “Dr. Jing is a true thoracic surgery expert, to think he’d take a liking to parasites.”
Jing Ran: …
What did I do wrong?
Why must you torment me like this!
Chen Cang takes pictures and he’s considered an animal lover with a big heart, but when I take pictures, I get labeled as a pervert?
Is the difference just because I called it ‘cute’?
Jing Ran was at a loss.
Is there no justice left?
Is there no law of the land!
I’m a post-doctorate, aren’t I? A post-doc at the Chinese Academy of Sciences Fuwai Hospital! Deputy Director of the First Hospital of Dongda, with a promising future…
Chen Cang is… just a first-year grad student brother, alright?
Can’t you judge people by their abilities instead of their appearance!
Can being handsome give you free rein to do whatever you want?
Besides, I’m quite handsome too, right?
As long as I’m not standing next to Chen Cang, I’m the Chinese Academy’s male idol.
Jing Ran felt he was developing a bit of a pneumothorax, probably from the irritation.
He felt he couldn’t stay here too long; what if his pneumothorax turned into a hemothorax?
Then, if he were to collapse onto a sickbed, it would definitely be Chen Cang performing the surgery on him.
With that thought, Jing Ran felt restless. What if Chen Cang started showing off during the surgery and the nurses were cheering for his handsomeness; could he die from anger?
He sighed.
Heartache.
…
…
The patient would need to contact his family for further postoperative care, but for the time being, he would be kept at the thoracic surgery department of the Provincial People’s Hospital for further treatment.
The surgery went smoothly, and everyone left the operating room.
Chen Cang had just left the doors of the operating room.
[Ding! By defeating a level 51 Echinococcosis cyst monster of a higher level, you’ve gained +2 levels; you’ve obtained special equipment: Bai Qiuen’s Mask;]
Chen Cang suddenly stopped in his tracks.
He actually dropped this thing!
It was really quite rare.
Bai Qiuen’s Mask, a purple item.
Chen Cang had originally thought how could a rare monster have such a great drop, but it was pretty rare after all, having dropped Bai Qiuen’s mask from his set.
[Bai Qiuen’s Mask: As an important part of Bai Qiuen’s set, filter +5, defense +5.]
This time, there were no special effects or skills, just two boosts in stats.
The filter boost was easy to understand, but how did a mask add to defense?
Could it be…
Chen Cang suddenly felt that this defense probably had to do with contagion.
After all, the only medical-related defense Chen Cang could think of was infectious diseases…
Chen Cang wondered if this meant that increasing defense… could reduce the chance of getting infected?
Very likely!
If that was really the case, Chen Cang felt that this defense attribute was rather impressive.
At least for the safety of medical workers, it was definitely a good thing.
Pleased as punch, he had finally gotten the third piece of Bai Qiuen’s set; now he could summon Bai Qiuen to possess him.
[Ding! With the three-piece Bai Qiuen’s set, a special skill is triggered: Bai Qiuen’s Possession. Reminder: Bai Qiuen: lv99, a master in the field of cardiovascular surgery, proficient and skilled in the diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular diseases, highly adept at cardiac surgery; after possession, you will get up to 5 hours of possession time, once a month.]
Chen Cang swallowed hard, my goodness, it’s a big shot!
A level 99 big shot, that’s… at the level of a national celebrity doctor, isn’t it?
No, it’s almost level 100.
So strong!
But, Bai Qiuen isn’t going to take over his body, is he?
Chen Cang shook his head.
Seeing Chen Cang suddenly stop, Jing Ran froze for a moment, then seeing the corners of Chen Cang’s mouth betraying a smirk, he couldn’t help but ask.
“Doctor Chen, what’s wrong?”
Chen Cang shook his head, pulling out his phone, “I just thought of something happy.”
Jing Ran smiled, “Oh? Care to share?”
Chen Cang nodded, “It’s nothing much, just thought this Echinococcosis was pretty rare, I’ll send it to my friend to take a look.”
As he spoke, Chen Cang picked up his phone and sent Qin Yue a message:
“Had dinner yet?”
Qin Yue replied instantly, “What are you treating me to?”
Chen Cang, “You wish, I was just asking if you’ve eaten.”
Qin Yue, “Scram, I’m having dinner right now, don’t wanna talk, I have night shift later!”
Chen Cang, “Oh! You’re eating? That’s good, I’m sending over something nice for you to enjoy with your meal!”
Qin Yue was startled; could it be that Chen Cang was eating something delicious?
This scumbag!
With that thought, Qin Yue sneered, “My dad’s cooking today!”
Qin Xiaoyuan chuckled as he watched Qin Yue holding her phone and pouting her lips, responding to messages. He couldn’t resist saying, “Don’t play with your phone during dinner!”
Qin Yue nodded, and at that moment, Chen Cang suddenly sent over a photo. As soon as Qin Yue opened it, she was instantly…
“Holy shit! You bastard…!”
A cry of “holy shit” nearly caused Qin Xiaoyuan to tremble with fright!
The piece of pork he had just picked up fell to the ground,
Such a pity!
It was expensive!
Looking at the food in front of her, Qin Yue suddenly didn’t have any appetite left.
The bite she had just taken seemed to have a strange taste now!
Hearing Qin Yue’s exclamation, Qin Xiaoyuan’s face darkened as he glared at her, unable to refrain from scolding, “Qin Yue, you’re a young lady, what are you doing! Show some manners!”
Qin Yue’s mother also glanced at her, “What’s the fuss about now?”
In the middle of speaking, she picked up Qin Yue’s phone and saw an indescribable scene; a feeling of discomfort rose from her stomach, “Oh! I need to go to the bathroom.”
This utterly stunned Qin Xiaoyuan, who casually grabbed the phone, and his eyelids began to twitch!
This… this… what the hell is this?
So disgusting!
Eating dinner here and you send a parasite!
Qin Xiaoyuan had to acknowledge his professionalism, recognizing the parasite at a glance, but… recognition aside, this pretty much ruined the meal!
With that, Qin Xiaoyuan felt a tingle of horror as his hard effort in cooking was wrecked by one photo!
Taking a look at the phone, it read: “From: Chen Cang!”
