Chapter 682 - 339: Don't Stop Me from Ascending!

"I've told you, whether you tell your master or not is up to you, but I need to call for help."

Lu Cheng began to search through his contacts!

Dai Linfang's face turned stiff, reaching out to grab Lu Cheng, his eyes tense: "Who are you going to call?"

"What did you just tell me?"

Lu Cheng put down his phone: "Ascension, it's the realm you explained to me. Achieving enlightenment on the spot."

Dai Linfang's mouth and face twitched: "Lu Cheng, this joke is not funny at all."

"That's a truly legendary realm, not something you can reach by just talking about it!"

"Our Xiangya Hospital, such a big hospital, has produced only two or three of them in recent decades!"

What counts as enlightenment?

In medicine, there are such definitions.

For example, if you worked on a project like Teacher Tu Youyou and directly defined a standard treatment for a disease, saving people from suffering!

That's considered enlightenment.

Secondly, take Elder Chen Zhongwei, who innovated a surgery, filled a gap in medical science, and taught the world that surgery could be done differently.

That's also enlightenment.

Further, there's operational enlightenment, relatively lesser, but still a legitimate major path.

If you can do what others can't, the same surgery is just routine for others, but you can turn it into something brilliant.

Giving all colleagues in the industry a shocking revelation.

They can set the rules casually, without referencing your operations, and they shouldn't use rules to constrain you.

You can't be constrained!

If you like, you could even help set the rules.

Such a person deserves to be called a National Master!

Not just in name, but a true National Master, in the eyes of surgeons.

"Why would I joke with you like that?" Lu Cheng glanced at Dai Linfang.

"Your envy and jealousy are useless to me!"

Lu Cheng picked up his phone, dialed Professor Chen Song's number, sounding amiable and polite: "Teacher Chen, are you up?"

Chen Song replied: "I am up!"

"Could you come to our hospital for a visit? I have some exciting news to report to you." Lu Cheng asked.

Chen Song's tone was hard to keep calm: "Are you sure it's good news?"

Chen Song was supposed to come after mid-May, and it's only May 11 now.

Of course, Chen Song has mostly gone through the procedures at the hospital, soon he could leave Ji City.

"Yes, Teacher Chen, it's really good news, and very, very good, so I wish to report it to you as soon as I can." Lu Cheng said.

"What is it?"

"I just promised to take your master out for a stroll…" Chen Song seemed a bit troubled.

Lu Cheng hurriedly said, "Never mind then, Teacher Chen, you go have fun first, we can talk when you arrive."

Chen Song raised his voice: "What is it, spill it!"

Lu Cheng said: "I've recently been feeling that my mindset isn't quite right, feels like my operations have reached another realm."

"But I can't be sure myself."

"Coincidentally, didn't you explain those specific operational levels to me?"

"I'm quite eager for that legendary level, so I thought..."

From Chen Song's phone came his wife's voice: "Who's calling you?"

Lu Cheng paused.

Chen Song continued, stiffened.

"Speak up? If you're busy, you can return to work."

"I'll just buy clothes and go home!" his wife said.

"Are you okay?" his wife asked with concern, perhaps even touching Chen Song's forehead.

Chen Song's consciousness quickly returned, breathing heavily, he shushed: "Don't joke about this!"

"Lu Cheng, this joke is really not funny at all."

Lu Cheng thought for a moment and said: "Teacher Chen, I know! You go ahead, there's no rush at the moment."

"I didn't know you were out shopping with your wife!"

Chen Song raised his voice again: "Lu Cheng, this joke is really not funny at all!"

"Don't joke with me!!!"

Lu Cheng: "It's truly not a joke, Teacher Chen, how could I joke with you like this?"

"I'll come this afternoon!~"

"I'll bring someone along." Chen Song gave a precise reply immediately.

Afterwards, apologies from Chen Song to his wife came quickly over the phone: "Honey, I'm sorry, this is important."

"I know, I'm used to it..."

Chen Song forgot to hang up: "It's really extremely important... could even relate to..."

As the rest involved privacy, Lu Cheng took the initiative to hang up the call independently.

"Why didn't you say anything this morning?" After confirming Lu Cheng wasn't joking, Dai Linfang's face stiffened and relaxed.

Stiffened to the point of trembling, relaxed to the extent of being uncontrollable.

Unlike Dai Linfang, Lu Cheng's demeanor was quite relaxed: "Why didn't you mention I didn't tell you last night?"

"Should I have started calling you at six in the morning?"

"Something earth-shattering to discuss during rest time?"

"When I got to the department, I encountered a bunch of messy issues."

Dai Linfang's voice sounded off:"Is the issue at the department even comparable to your matter?"

Lu Cheng: "It made me feel bad."

"And also, wasn't it just that the operations got a bit smoother? What's the big deal."

Lu Cheng, being the one with the ability, couldn't be taken away, nor stolen.

So he spoke, understandably, with a carefree tone.

Actually, Lu Cheng was quite happy; he now wanted to perform another surgery to fully experience that 'near-ecstasy' feeling.

This was a sort of craving.

Say, if I suddenly got 50 billion, you'd better let me splurge on something expensive.

Don't talk about instant noodles, it should be at least a few million.

Similar to retaliatory consumption, Lu Cheng wanted a surgery with slightly higher difficulty.

"You?" Dai Linfang pursed his lips, was choking on his own saliva.

Lu Cheng, with hands behind his back: "Calm down, calm down…"

"I'll calm down when your sister does!"

Dai Linfang stood up, began pacing around the lounge, walking back and forth.

Like a monkey jumping around, occasionally giving Lu Cheng a glance.

"Really?" After five or six minutes, he asked again.

Lu Cheng replied: "I can't be sure! I haven't seen what that level looks like."

"I've only heard about it."

Obviously, such skill is rare nationwide.

Even when studying in Han City, the tales of Professor Lan from Zhongnan Hospital were legendary, but Lu Cheng couldn't comprehend his level.

At the very least, Lu Cheng hadn't heard anyone mention if Professor Lan reached that realm.

According to Dai Linfang, such mastery might only exist among one in a hundred thousand surgeons.

One in a hundred thousand surgeons, not just doctors.

Dai Linfang said: "Well, can I call my teacher over?"

"Professor Huang?"

"Is this appropriate?" Lu Cheng decided to tell Dai Linfang, hoping for an outside perspective to confirm his level.

Knowledge must not be blind.

There exist many impressive individuals with broader experience than mine.

"Whether appropriate or not, it needs to be. It's really a big deal."

"I'll step out for a bit!~" Dai Linfang turned and left.

At the door, he still firmly held his phone, glanced back at Lu Cheng, and then confidently walked out.

Watching Dai Linfang's back, Lu Cheng's mood gradually settled.

Expert levels are common, within Xiangzhou Renmin Hospital, they exist.

But above expert level, truly rare indeed.

Learning advancements for geniuses, from reaching expert level, is merely a matter of dozens of experience points.

Yet, the expert level itself requires a 200-point progress.

Lu Cheng can ascend quickly by allocating points!

But for ordinary people?

They rely on gradually honing.

Moreover, to break through eventually, requires a 200 experience point infusion!

Average folks, without external aid, nowhere have such opportune circumstances?

'Ruyi'?

Such level likely isn't just child's play!~
