Chapter 156: Healing the World (Part 2)
It wasn't easy for Dong Yexi to build a reputation quickly. However, he had the "Healing the World" tag card, which would definitely have a bonus effect. He used this card to replace the "Fitness Expert" tag.
After some research, he found out that [ENFJ (Heroic Personality)] could replace [Social Master], so he changed to it, hoping to enhance his presence.
At the beginning, those wealthy businessmen and politicians would definitely not believe that a student who had not yet graduated could save them, so they had to cure a few terminally ill patients first to build their reputation.
This step still requires the help of big brother.
At first, his eldest brother disagreed with helping him build a reputation as a "miracle doctor." He knew full well that no doctor could achieve a 100% cure rate. Doctors are not gods, and they cannot guarantee that every patient can be successfully saved.
Moreover, the greater the fame, the greater the pressure. If a case is not successfully treated, Dong Yexi will suffer backlash.
However, in order to lure the Black Organization's boss, Dong Yexi had to do this. He knew that doctors were not omnipotent, and his only reliance was the system.
Dong Yexi told his elder brother some of the reasons, and it took a long time to get his consent.
In order to make him famous, the eldest brother directly gave him a list of seriously ill patients in the group's hospital and let him choose the patients to treat.
Dong Yexi was shocked by the dozen or so thick medical records. Any page he opened would show diseases such as advanced cancer, which were currently incurable.
He couldn't help but sigh inwardly at the impermanence of life, and then skipped over these illnesses. Even with the system's cheat code, it couldn't cure every disease; he still had this little self-awareness. Furthermore, time was running out, and he couldn't choose a patient who wouldn't see immediate results.
After selecting for a long time, he still couldn't find a suitable one. Then, he received a message from the group that someone had an accident on the construction site and a steel bar had pierced through his chest. The situation was very critical.
After hearing this, Dong Yexi quickly went to the hospital to take over the patient.
He thought he should start with cardiac surgery and thoracic surgery.
The patient's condition was indeed grim, and Higashino Higashi spent over seven hours completing the surgery. However, a single application of the "Living Hua Tuo" technique lasted twelve hours, so to avoid wasting time, he temporarily participated in another heart valve replacement surgery. Fortunately, the patient's condition was not serious, and the surgery was relatively short.
When the elder brother learned that his younger brother had undergone two major surgeries in a row without a break, his brow furrowed so tightly that it could kill a mosquito. He rushed to the hospital, ready to give his younger brother a good lecture on the importance of a balance between work and rest, but he saw that his younger brother had fallen asleep on the cot in the office, exhausted.
The eldest brother sighed, silently closed the office door and walked out.
Forget it, I'll tell him after he wakes up.
The eldest brother was about to persuade Dong Yexi to rest, and then Dong Yexi didn't go to the hospital for the next two days. He was feeling relieved, but on the third day, he heard that he had undergone three operations in one day.
Big Brother: ...
This isn't the way to combine work and rest, right?
Dong Yexi had no other choice. [The Living Hua Tuo] had to cool down for 48 hours after each use, so he had to make full use of his time.
So his subsequent work schedule became to perform surgery for twelve hours, then take two days off, and then perform surgery again.
This schedule baffled the doctors and nurses he was temporarily working with. They said he was pushing himself too hard, but he was actually working two days on and four days off. They also said he was just slacking off, but once he was on the operating table, he wouldn't rest, working a full twelve-hour shift. His longest day was four surgeries! Despite all the fatigue, his hands didn't shake at the end of the surgery, and he didn't make a single mistake. He was truly inhuman!
However, Dong Yexi's strange habit also deepened the patient's impression of him. These days, if you don't have some strange habits, you can't be called a genius.
Thanks to Higashino Higashino's unremitting efforts, a super-rich man finally came to him and asked him to be his attending physician. His illness happened to require a heart transplant.
Higashino accepted the offer without hesitation and recommended artificial organ technology to the wealthy man. He had already found a suitable heart donor, but the donor still had a while to live. He had no other options but to wait. He couldn't just kill the person and take the heart, could he? Furthermore, given the wealthy man and the donor's current situation, there was no telling who would die first. Furthermore, even a suitable match could still cause rejection. If an organ was grown from one's own cells and tissue, rejection would be almost negligible. This was the conclusion drawn from Jinger and several other patients.
The wealthy man hadn't anticipated the advancement of technology, and he immediately decided to use artificial organs and requested surgery as soon as possible. He didn't want to experience the near-death experience of heart problems again.
Dong Yexi would of course meet the client's requirements. Once the laboratory had prepared the heart source, he immediately pushed the patient into the operating room.
The operation went very smoothly.
When the rich man woke up, he felt his heart beating strongly in his chest and almost cried out. He finally had a new heart!
The rich man was so excited that he boasted about it to his friends before he was even discharged from the hospital, praising Dong Yexi and his artificial organ technology to the sky.
His friends initially thought the old man had been duped by some sloppy articles. How could such advanced technology exist? It must be fake! Those soft articles love to use these black technologies to trick old people into buying traffic.
Later they discovered that this guy had actually undergone surgery and had a new heart replaced!
The old friends couldn't sit still anymore and called him to inquire about the situation. The rich man was praising him on the phone again, even exaggerating so much that it seemed like he was bragging.
Some people don't believe it, but some do. Especially those elderly friends who suffer from various diseases caused by aging organs. If possible, they would also like to replace their heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys...
As a result, artificial organ technology and Dong Yexi's reputation began to spread in the upper class, bringing a new group of customers to Dong Yexi.
And only half a month has passed.
Vermouth, who has been following Higashino Hiroshi: ...
Does Dong Yexi really have this ability?!
Although there were no news reports about Higashino Hiroshi's deeds, he was the talk of the town in the upper class recently, and Vermouth didn't even need to ask about it. This could be considered as achieving his original goal.
Vermouth just found it incredible.
However, Dong Yexi's fame is largely due to the wealthy circles. When wealth accumulates to a certain level, the only hardships in life are birth, old age, sickness, and death. Illness and aging treat everyone equally; they truly treat everyone equally.
Karasuma Renya isn't the only one who wants immortality; the more power and wealth one possesses, the stronger this desire becomes. Of course, normal people aren't as crazy as him; they'd be happy if they had a doctor who could extend their lifespan by a few years.
So, when one of them experienced Dong Yexi's abilities firsthand, they naturally spread the word. Ordinary people, when they encounter a good doctor, would be eager to share their experiences with their fellow patients. How much more so for wealthy individuals? Their desire to show off would only intensify.
Since Higashino Hiroshi had achieved his stated goal, Vermouth began to consider his suggestion. However, Higashino Hiroshi's reputation wasn't yet strong enough to convince the stubborn boss. He could perform a few more heart transplants. With more successful cases, the boss would be more easily swayed.
As for the Institute summoning Yui Hatori back... well, as long as the boss didn't push her, she could find a way to delay it for a while. She'd been servile to the Institute countless times, and this wasn't the only one.
While Dong Yexi was busy saving people, others were also busy. The FBI played a big role in his being known by the super-rich man.
Meanwhile, Amuro Toru had finally gotten a good grasp of the organization's base. There might be some that slipped through the net, but as long as the major bases were taken down, these small contact points wouldn't matter.
However, what they didn't expect was that without anyone leaking the plan, Edogawa Conan actually analyzed the clues and figured out what they were up to, and guessed most of their plan.
Looking at Edogawa Conan, who came rushing to "demand punishment" with such a fierce momentum, Higashino Xi couldn't help but applaud in his heart. He was the protagonist, after all, and his brain was worth three. Even if he wasn't included in the play, he would find a way to participate on his own.
Edogawa Conan looked at Higashino Xi with resentment in his eyes and said, "I thought that after you two cooperated, my actions would be more convenient; but I didn't expect that you would directly exclude me. The same thing happened with Rum before. You said that you wanted me to protect Xiaolan and my uncle, but in fact you sent me out of the battlefield. How can you kill me like this!"
Dong Yexi patted his little head and said, "How pitiful! He's so angry that he's confused. Why did you call yourself a donkey?"
Conan Edogawa shook his head and shook off his hand, advising: "You have been too high-profile recently. I'm afraid the organization will send someone to arrest you." He had the same worry as Shuichi Akai.
Dong Yexi waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "Even if they kidnap me, I have a way to make them send me back on their own initiative. This is not a problem." He pressed Edogawa Conan's head and said, "If you really want to participate, you can go and help scout the bases found by Amuro Toru. Some of the bases are hidden in the city, so it is not convenient to send people to investigate. Since you are a child, you can lower their vigilance."
"Really?!" Seeing that he was so easy to talk to, Edogawa Conan looked at him with some doubt. When Higashino Xi nodded again, he almost jumped up with excitement.
"But you have to be careful." Higashino squatted down, put his hands on his shoulders, and said seriously, "You can't install eavesdropping devices, you can't test everywhere, and you can't follow suspicious people. You can only use your own eyes and ears. If you can still distinguish who are the members of the organization under these restrictions, I will let Akai Shuichi take you with us during the decisive battle."
Higashino Hiroshi's three "no's" increased the difficulty of the mission by more than one level. However, Edogawa Conan is a man who becomes more courageous with each setback. He looked at Higashino Hiroshi, his lips curled slightly, and said, "I accept this challenge!" His confident expression was exactly the same as that of Kudo Shinichi in the past.
Edogawa Conan received the task from the NPC as if he was playing a game, and immediately went to run the map.
Higashino Xi felt that with Conan's smart little head and the aura of the protagonist, this task should not be difficult for him and he could complete it easily.
After that, I told Akai Shuichi to take Conan with him during the decisive battle and put him in a place like the command room at the back. This way, I can borrow his aura and keep an eye on him so that he won't run around and get into danger. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
This wasn't just childish talk. Taking Conan to the rear was already the biggest concession he could make. Even if he turned back into Kudo Shinichi, the police wouldn't immediately agree to take a minor on such a dangerous mission.
How does this not count as participating in the decisive battle?
