"Why are you all in such a hurry to leave? I haven't even had enough to eat yet; I was too busy fiddling with bones just now!"
On the way to the internet café, Chen Gong felt it was somewhat a waste to leave food behind.
"Damn! You've got to be kidding me, Chen Gong, didn't you smell that? It was disgusting!"
"Exactly, I lost all my appetite, but I've eaten enough anyway. Let's go, it's time to team up and play!"
"My sword has been thirsting for blood for too long already! Hehehe..."
"Wait till you see my Zhao Xin that I practiced all summer long, accurate with every stab. Don't you dare compete with me for the jungle!"
...
Chen Gong fell silent for a moment, then couldn't help but say, "Actually, I just analyzed that vomit."
"That senior probably didn't have acute gastroenteritis caused by bacteria or viruses; it was a nervous reflexive vomiting, unlikely to be contagious."
Senior: Are you fucking serious? How the hell could you not know why I puked?
Hearing Chen Gong's words, the group collectively gave him the middle finger: "You're somewhat of a freak!"
"Exactly, at the very least, you're not normal!"
Chen Gong patiently advised, "As a doctor, there's no need to be so normal, right?"
"In the future, when we're in clinical practice, dealing with feces, urine, farts, snot, menstrual blood, pus, parasites, and so on... it'll be just routine."
"You've got to have the right mindset!"
Upon hearing this, the group wanted to cry but had no tears: "Brother, we just finished eating; please have mercy, okay?!"
"Exactly, is it too much to ask for a few days of comfort?"
"You freak, I absolutely refuse to roam mid; I'm allergic!"
[Ding! Abnormality Points +20!]
[Ding! Abnormality Points +10!]
...
Seeing this, Chen Gong also sighed.
As expected, the path to righteousness is lonely and long.
After arriving at the internet café, they were lucky to find seats for a five-person team.
This year, the internet cafés were all playing League of Legends, with a few Dungeon Fighter Online players in the mix once in a while.
Once Peng Wei logged in, everyone suddenly realized Chen Gong hadn't come online yet.
"Chen Gong, what are you dawdling for? Hurry up and log in!"
Chen Gong was startled for a moment: "Are you guys playing ranked or just normal matches? I'm afraid we might not match up well."
Shou Weixiang rolled his eyes: "Of course, we're just doing matching. Otherwise, we can kiss winning tonight goodbye."
"Besides, with you on board, our ranks are bound to plummet..."
Before he could finish speaking, a sudden announcement echoed through the internet café.
[The player at computer 55 is the top player from Ionia, we wish you a pleasant game!]
No sooner had these words been spoken than the whole internet café went quiet.
The top player!
And from... Ionia, the most valued!
His roommates, Shou Weixiang, and Peng Wei, inadvertently turned their gaze to the computer screen in front of Chen Gong!
"Computer 55!"
In an instant, there was an unprecedented eerie silence among them.
Meanwhile, many others around them started looking over at Chen Gong, their eyes filled with respect and curiosity for the strong.
Chen Gong was startled: "Why are you all staring at me?"
Shou Weixiang said in an excited hushed voice, "Big bro! No, daddy!"
"How did you get to the top ranking?"
Chen Gong sighed, "After I got home, my parents wouldn't let me study all the time; I was only allowed a few hours to look at books each day."
"Once I'd had enough, they'd force me to go out to play or play games, and they'd supervise me..."
"I don't really like going out, so I end up playing games."
"And then I reached the top rank."
"It's just that the placement matches were too low, otherwise, I'd probably be in the top thirty by now."
Shou Weixiang: "..."
The placement matches were played by me...
Is that my fault?
Haven't I worked hard without getting any credit?
Back in the day, I was the first one in the dorm to reach Gold...
[Ding! Abnormality Points +20!]
[Ding! ...]
...
Chen Gong listened to a series of notification tones, completely ignoring them, realizing that this system was absolutely abnormal.
It's good enough to study abnormally.
Is it also abnormal to be good at playing games?
With Chen Gong joining, the gaming experience was quite good, with a stable carry every game, leading them to fulfill their dream of showing off spectacularly.
Playing until after ten o'clock, they looked at the time and decided to play one last round before leaving.
"Damn, that was awesome, I just destroyed that Platinum player!"
"Awesome, awesome, did you guys see me going godlike?"
"Hey? Chen Gong, pick your champion!"
Peng Wei urged him and turned around to look, freezing on the spot when he saw that Chen Gong's computer screen was showing an online class???
"What are you looking at?"
Chen Gong: "Oh, this is an anatomy class from Xiehe Medical University."
"The game was too boring; it's good to listen to while playing."
His tone was calm, and he sounded indifferent, but... there was a touch of mockery.
As expected, the people around looked at Chen Gong with a peculiar gaze. Thinking they didn't believe him, Chen Gong quickly explained:
"It's really pretty good, I didn't skip any, listened at double speed, I can share it with you guys if you're interested."
Peng Wei sighed and dropped the mouse, "This game... it's not fun anymore, I want to go back to the dorm!"
Shou Weixiang's fingers trembled as he looked at his own Gold rank, suddenly feeling as if alongside Yu, why bother with trash!
I mean... what's the use of this Gold?
Chen Gong, you motherfucker... you're not human...
Playing this damn game is just heartbreak flowing into a river!
I doggedly begged and scraped to barely make it to Gold, only to be mocked by my opponents as a "carry dog!"
While others multitask with online classes and climbing to the top ranks, and still play so well that the opponents praise them with "666"
[Ding! Abnormal points +30!]
[Ding! Abnormal points +50!]
…
After returning to the dorm, Shou Weixiang hesitated for a long time before he gritted his teeth, uninstalled the game from his laptop, and then picked up the "countdown" Chen Gong wrote from the trash and stuck it on the wall opposite his desk.
Damn it!
Can't win with grinding, can't rot with laying low, can't rest with lying flat.
Is this my doomed 45-degree life?
"Starting tomorrow, no more games, I'm heading to the library!" Shou Weixiang declared with righteous indignation, thumping his slightly pudgier chest.
The others weren't in the mood to play games anymore, either.
After all...
The top king is hitting the books, what excuse do you have not to make an effort?!
Or put another way... if someone can easily become the top king, what's the point in you playing?
Chen Gong watched this scene with a fatherly sense of pride.
He never expected one could quit a net addiction in this way?
However...
He was also somewhat worried inside.
Looking at the curriculum for a long time, he was still hesitant!
Anatomy class is starting this week, with hands-on training following next week.
To catch Professor Qin's eye at first glance, with his current capabilities, he had no confidence.
A professor, no doubt, has to be loaded with knowledge and extraordinarily talented, right?
To catch their eye should be quite difficult!
Chen Gong was now filled with infinite anticipation and curiosity for the "laboratory."
In his eyes, it was clearly the gathering place of the best at Shanhe Medical University.
For Chen Gong, the attraction was huge.
At this time, he opened up the system.
He had over 6700 points now.
These were points accumulated over nearly fifty days, averaging to about 100 points a day.
And the difficulty of getting these points was increasing daily.
Although he earned quite a number of points today, obviously, the likelihood of this happening every day was very low.
To get to 10,000 points, according to this pace, he'd need around forty days.
Should he try his luck with an early draw?
Test his fortune?!
No!
Chen Gong quickly dismissed the idea, real masters never place their hopes on luck.
And to exchange for the most basic [Incision], one needs 10,000 points to unlock the exchange interface.
It seems he would have to buckle down and put in the effort.
At this time, Peng Wei opened his suitcase, "Hey? Are you guys hungry? I brought some ready-made spicy bullfrogs from home, vacuum-packed. Want to have a bite?"
While speaking, Peng Wei handed a bag to each person.
Holding the bullfrog, Chen Gong suddenly thought of something…
It seems, he remembered there was frog dissection in the practical classes.
Hmm?
Yeah!
Just then, a series of alerts sounded:
[Ding! Random task issued, raise any subject skill level to LV2 for this semester.]
[Time: Before the related courses begin.]
[Completion Reward: 1: 1000 points; 2, one draw.]
The system actually issued a task on its own?
Chen Gong was somewhat surprised!
This was the first time the system spontaneously made a peep.
And there are subject skill levels?
Chen Gong immediately opened the system to check.
[Physiology: lv1 (11%); As a fundamental discipline of medicine, physiology studies various physiological functions (such as respiration, digestion, body temperature, etc.) in healthy individuals and the causes behind these functions.]
[Biochemistry: lv1 (17%); Biochemistry is the science that studies life phenomena from a chemical perspective, focusing on the structure, transformation, and metabolism of various biomolecules within living organisms.]
[System Anatomy: lv1 (32%); Anatomy is one of the fundamental disciplines of medicine. To determine the cause of a disease and treat it effectively, one should first understand and be familiar with the structure of the normal human body, which is precisely what anatomy teaches.]
[Friendly reminder: lv1 is beginner level, lv2 is professional level, lv3 is specialist level; lv4 is backbone level; lv5 is expert level; lv6 is a leading figure in the field.]
[Each time you level up, you'll randomly get a technical blueprint or professional skill of the same level in that field.]
After reading, Chen Gong pondered.
So his current level is beginner?
What exactly does beginner level mean?
Chen Gong just so happened to have some postgraduate exam materials borrowed, and physiology and biochemistry were included in the exam subjects, with test questions in the materials.
He decided to test his level.
But it was already late today, the library opens at 7:00 tomorrow morning, and he still had to wake up early to get a seat.
Well then, we'll see after going there tomorrow!
