"Dear contestants, the rules for today's competition are different from yesterday's."
Li Leqian, holding the microphone, interrupted everyone's discussion, "Today, we will adopt a two-team challenge format."
"Challenge?"
"Is the plan to have the two teams face off directly?"
"How exactly will the challenge be conducted?"
People in the audience immediately started whispering among themselves.
"The specific rules are as follows: We will invite the captains of each team to the stage later, and you will draw lots to determine your opponents for today."
After whetting everyone's appetite, Li Leqian finally began to explain.
"Drawing lots to determine the opponent? This means it'll be a one-on-one duel."
"So, the winners stay, and the losers are eliminated?"
"That's good, it saves us from having as much trouble as yesterday."
The venue immediately became lively.
"Captain, it looks like today's going to be a tough battle!"
Liang Shaoqing said in a low voice.
"After the team captains draw lots to select their opponents, the official match will begin."
Li Leqian controlled the pace of the meeting and said seriously, "We have prepared anesthetized laboratory mice for each team."
"White mice? What are you going to do with these?"
"You can't just do research while on stage, can you?"
The audience erupted in uproar.
"You need to complete a surgical incision and suturing of anesthetized mice within two hours."
Li Leqian continued, "Most importantly, we need to implant the designated biological materials into the mice."
Nanoscale biomimetic bone powder is used to repair sternal damage in mice.
"Surgery on mice? And they need to implant such advanced technology?"
"Mice have such delicate blood vessels and nerves; they can die if you're not careful."
"Don't you think that two hours is the most dangerous part?"
The team members started discussing it amongst themselves.
As doctors, we all felt that this was extremely difficult!
"Performing implantation surgery on mice? That's much more difficult than on humans."
Zhang Lanyu's eyes widened. "This is not only a test of skills and experience, but also requires sufficient mental fortitude."
"yes."
Sun Wencai also frowned, "The incision must be precise; even the slightest deviation in position can damage blood vessels."
The implantation space is also small, making it difficult to control the force.
The most dangerous part is the suturing; errors in depth or superficiality can be fatal.
"This also requires a high level of teamwork; any mistake in any link can be fatal."
Xu Qiuyue was also in a difficult position.
"In addition... if the mice survive two hours after the surgery, it will be considered a success."
"If all the mice in the same team survive the surgery, your overall performance will be evaluated based on the entire procedure."
Li Leqian continued her explanation.
"It wasn't that easy after all!"
"The pressure is too much. Are they treating us like robots?"
"The difficulty level has increased dramatically since we entered this competition!"
The contestants were full of complaints.
"In addition... there is another special rule."
Li Leqian's voice rose a few decibels.
This sound indeed interrupted the contestants' discussion, and they all looked towards the stage.
"Because the Shanghai team won first place in yesterday's competition, they have the opportunity to choose their opponent first today, without having to participate in the draw."
"Just a reminder, the Shanghai team cannot be selected from the top three ranked teams."
After her reminder, all eyes turned to the Shanghai team.
The purpose of this rule is to keep the suspense of the competition until the very end.
Song Zhiqiang, the captain of the Shanghai team, walked onto the podium.
"Choose carefully."
Li Leqian handed the microphone to Song Zhiqiang.
"Thanks."
Song Zhiqiang took the microphone and looked at the line below.
Finally, the camera focused on the direction of the Jiangsu Province team.
"I choose—"
Song Zhiqiang drawled, "The Jiangsu Province team!"
The sound wasn't loud, but it carried clearly throughout the entire venue.
"Song Zhiqiang is selected to represent Jiangsu Province?"
"What was the Shanghai team thinking? They had to pick the weakest team! That's so beneath them."
"Is that even a question? To be on the safe side, I just want to advance easily."
The audience members were buzzing with discussion.
"Song Zhiqiang is looking down on people!"
"The Shanghai team chose a weaker team, perhaps to conserve their strength."
"Don't forget, Captain Su has Lin Fan. He was phenomenal yesterday."
"What's the use of one person being strong? If the other team members can't keep up, it's all nonsense."
The live stream chat exploded with excitement.
The atmosphere in the rest area of the Jiangsu Province team became tense.
One came in first, and the other came in last by cheating!
The difference between the two is simply too great!
"Damn it, this guy surnamed Song is going too far!"
Zhang Lanyu muttered curses.
"Zhang Lanyu, stop pretending."
"You should know which areas each of us is good at."
"None of us are skilled in minimally invasive surgery even if we work together."
Lu Jianye said from the side.
"What do you mean? Explain yourself clearly."
Zhang Lanyu immediately became anxious.
This guy is still bringing up what happened yesterday.
"What do you mean? You'll have to ask me that!"
"Song Zhiqiang chose us without saying a word as soon as he came on stage. Isn't that obvious enough?"
Lu Xiaowei glanced at him.
"You're talking nonsense!"
"What does this have to do with me?"
Zhang Lanyu immediately became anxious.
“Shi Junfeng from the Shanghai team is your classmate. You’ve been getting so close to him these past few days.”
