The canteen at Beijing University of Traditional Chinese Medicine is huge, almost as big as a food street.
They sell almost anything edible; that's probably what it means to be rich and powerful!
Su Zhengnan was pulled to the cafeteria by his second senior brother, Mo Chaoyang, to eat together, accompanied by several other masters of traditional Chinese medicine. It felt as if he was the main character of the day.
The school cafeteria had already prepared several tables of sumptuous dishes, prepared according to the school's standard hospitality criteria, and there was absolutely no excess.
"Come on, everyone, sit down and eat slowly. Let's chat while we eat."
Mo Chaoyang gestured for everyone to sit down, and then pulled Su Zhengnan to sit next to him.
Su Zhengnan pursed his lips and sat down to the side, feeling a little uncomfortable, as if he wasn't used to eating with strangers.
Mo Chaoyang didn't care about any of that. He invited everyone to start eating and then chatted and laughed with the several masters of traditional Chinese medicine.
Seeing that Su Zhengnan hadn't said anything for a while, Mo Chaoyang smiled and asked him, "What's wrong, Junior Brother? Aren't you interested in this kind of dinner party?"
Su Zhengnan smiled and nodded, saying, "It's alright, but we're all not familiar with each other, so I don't know what to talk about."
"It's alright. These people here are all old acquaintances of mine. Junior brother, you can talk about whatever you want. If you really don't want to talk, I'll have someone drive you home after dinner."
Mo Chaoyang could tell that his junior brother didn't like eating with a lot of people he wasn't familiar with, so he didn't force him.
"Thank you, senior brother!"
Su Zhengnan smiled and said something, then silently picked at the food in front of him without saying anything more.
After lunch.
Mo Chaoyang didn't try to stop him any further and had his driver take Su Zhengnan back to the Beijing Film Academy.
As the acting dean of the Beijing College of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Mo Chaoyang naturally had his own driver.
This is the capital city.
Upon returning to the Beijing Film Academy, Su Zhengnan sighed softly as he walked along the school's path, glancing at the task data panel for the day.
The data panel displayed:
[Host: Su Zhengnan.]
[Bound Identity: Beijing Film Academy School Doctor (Traditional Chinese Medicine)]
[Daily Task: Consult ten female students to receive the reward "Herbal Pair Proficiency Level". Current progress: 0/10 (Incomplete).]
[Special Mission: Participate in a large-scale accident scene rescue operation. Reward: 'Fire Needle Acupuncture Technique'. Current progress: 0/1 (Incomplete).]
[Hidden Quest: Teach ten students on-campus health preservation techniques. You will receive the reward 'Mastery of the Complete Text of Traditional Chinese Medicine's Zhuyou Branch'. Current progress: 3/10 (Incomplete).]
.........
There's no need to look at these daily tasks.
Today is Saturday, and no students are coming to see a doctor, so we can't finish at all.
As for the other special mission, that's rather intriguing.
This special mission didn't specify anything about the school; it only said to participate in the rescue of a major accident. Does that mean I have to go outside to participate in the rescue?
After all, major accidents are generally not found on school grounds; they are more likely to occur outside of schools.
Su Zhengnan was a little confused about this special mission that the system had refreshed. If a major accident were to happen, it seemed that he would be unable to stop it even if he wanted to.
However, one thing is certain...
Any task that is refreshed by the system must be a situation that the system anticipated would definitely occur; the only question is whether or not the user will perform it.
Ring ring!
Just as Su Zhengnan was thinking about these things.
His phone suddenly rang.
Su Zhengnan answered the phone and saw that it was his fifth senior brother, Li Huai'an, calling. A look of surprise flashed across his face.
What's going on here?
I had only just returned from my second senior brother's place when my fifth senior brother called me again.
Su Zhengnan answered the phone with great surprise, saying, "Hello, senior brother, is there something you need for this sudden call?"
As the saying goes, people don't contact each other unless there's something to discuss; if they do, there must be something.
This is probably a kind of rule among relatives and friends, and it's actually quite the same among fellow students.
Li Huai'an laughed on the other end of the phone and said, "Haha, I don't have anything to say. I just wanted to ask if you're interested in traditional Chinese medicine surgery. We have a special traditional Chinese medicine surgical procedure coming up this afternoon. Would you like to come and observe?"
"Special TCM surgical procedures? How special are they?"
Su Zhengnan paused slightly, looking somewhat curious.
For Li Huai'an, who works at the First People's Hospital of Beijing, what kind of cases hasn't he seen?
Therefore, if he calls it a special surgery, then it must truly be special.
Li Huai'an replied with a smile, "Cauda equina tumor separation surgery, would you be interested in coming over to watch?"
"Okay, what time does the surgery start this afternoon?"
Su Zhengnan immediately became interested upon hearing the term "cauda equina neuroma," because he had never heard of anyone being able to isolate a cauda equina neuroma.
Because these neuromas adhere to many nerves, surgical dissection is extremely difficult and can easily damage other nerve systems during surgery.
Therefore, traditional surgical procedures are not very effective, and even if the tumor is removed, it usually grows back shortly after the operation.
Western medicine cannot explain the causes of cauda equina tumors, let alone treat them.
It's important to know that the cauda equina is a nerve root located below the conus medullaris in the lumbosacral region, and its nervous system connects to the entire spine.
If the nerves in this area become diseased, it can easily lead to various spinal disorders or even quadriplegia.
Therefore, many doctors dare not touch the difficult problem of cauda equina tumors, let alone surgically remove them.
Li Huai'an seemed very confident about the surgery, and said with a smile, "The surgery will start at 2 pm and is expected to take about four hours. If you want to come and observe, just arrive half an hour in advance."
"Okay, I understand. I'll get there early and call you then."
Su Zhengnan smiled and nodded, clearly very interested in the special surgery that his fifth senior brother, Li Huai'an, had mentioned.
Especially since the other party was referring to traditional Chinese medicine surgery.
This means that the surgery mainly used traditional Chinese medicine treatments. Whether it was medication or surgery, traditional Chinese medicine methods had to account for at least 75% to be called traditional Chinese medicine surgery.
Afterwards, Su Zhengnan chatted with his fifth senior brother Li Huai'an for a few more minutes before hanging up the phone.
After all, as the director of the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine at the First People's Hospital of Beijing, Li Huai'an was far busier than the average doctor.
