Chapter 52: The Magical Acupuncture

  Song Muqing looked at Chen Zhuiyan sitting in the chair with his eyes closed, not even acknowledging her, and felt a bit displeased. She reached out and poked him: "Hey!"

  Chen Zhiyuan opened his eyes and looked at Song Muqing's pitiful face, puzzled: "What's wrong?"

  "You just leave me here and ignore me, I'm so bored!" Song Muqing said languidly.

  Chen Zhiyuan thought that he should study the techniques included in the primary medical skills and the attribute points required. He would be going to Beijing to pursue his master's degree in a few days, and when he encountered some diseases in the hospital, he couldn't always rely on exchanging primary medical skill sets to solve problems. This thing is just a one-time product, and it also requires a lot of fat. It's better to use this fat to exchange for some attribute-increasing pills, which can satisfy all the techniques in the medical skills, and they are permanently available, much more cost-effective than exchanging suit sets.

  Song Muqing helped out a lot today, running back and forth. At this time, he put the person aside, and Chen Zhiyuan also felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, so he smiled and said: "Today you and your dad have helped me a great deal, so tonight I'll invite your family to eat roast lamb, how about it?"

  Song Muqing heard the roasted lamb, her bright eyes lit up, and she pulled Chen Zhiyuan's hem: "Can you keep your word?" Song Muqing wasn't a complete foodie, but she still had no resistance to delicious food.

  "Alright, I'll go tell my dad and ask if he's free tonight!" Song Muqing said as she pulled out her phone to make the call.

  "Hold on, tell your dad to call over Director Ren, Dean Sun and Secretary Qian as well. They've all helped me a lot today!"

  Song Muqing nodded and ran out to make a phone call.

  Chen Zhiyuan watched her leave, smiled slightly, and then opened the system to inquire again.

  This primary medical technique includes both Chinese and Western medicine, and the techniques in Western medicine are mostly surgical. To perform these surgeries, Chen Zhiyuan roughly calculated that he would need to increase his physical strength and flexibility to 100 points, and his intelligence quotient (IQ) to 80 points. Seeing the requirement of an IQ of 80, Chen Zhiyuan was somewhat perplexed. Initially, the system had forcibly developed his brain domain development degree to 45%, which should have made him intelligent enough. Einstein's brain domain development degree was only 13%, so why did this primary medical technique require such a high IQ? Did he need to fully develop his brain domain?

  Chen Zhiyuan checked the system, and the system's explanation was: In the beginning, the brain domain developed to 45% in order to expand the capacity of the host's brain, so that the host's brain could hold down these knowledge when the host learned multiple skills.

  Chen Zhiyuan finally understood that this system was just developing the capacity of his own brain, allowing it to hold more skills and knowledge. But as for intelligence quotient, it didn't improve at all. If you want to improve, go exchange your fat for medicine pills yourself.

  Mr. Chen felt a bit depressed, always thinking that his IQ was the highest in this world, but who would have thought he was still a loser.

  Chen Zhiyuan returned to his gloomy mood and began to inquire about the properties required for those Chinese medical skills. This inquiry gave Chen Zhiyuan a fright, as he wanted to perform all the primary medical skills in Chinese medicine, which had even higher property requirements. Three attributes were required: intelligence needed to reach 120 points, physical strength and agility both needed to reach 150 points. Among them, some acupuncture techniques required high attribute points, but these acupuncture techniques were indeed magical. Take, for example, incurable diseases like hypertension and diabetes. With the direct needle technique in acupuncture, although it couldn't completely cure the disease, as long as you performed acupuncture once a day, you could control your blood pressure and blood sugar within the normal range on that day. This was much stronger than controlling it through medication, which had various side effects. Acupuncture, on the other hand, was safe and had no side effects.

  There is also the mysterious "Zhen Ci Shu" (Needle Anaesthesia), a type of acupuncture that can anaesthetize people, which is the legendary "acupuncture anaesthesia". Some traditional Chinese medicine doctors claim to be able to perform acupuncture anaesthesia, but their methods have many defects and cannot even achieve painless effects for minor surgeries.

  There are some patients who can only be cured by surgery, but they cannot tolerate anesthesia due to underlying diseases. (Here, everyone may not fully understand why some patients with underlying diseases cannot tolerate anesthesia. Let me explain briefly. For example, a patient with rheumatic heart disease has different degrees of damage to the heart valves. If this type of patient needs to undergo an appendectomy, which requires general anesthesia, the anesthesia method would put a heavy burden on the heart, and the patient's heart may not be able to withstand it, leading to risks such as cardiac arrest and even death. These patients do not die from failed surgery, but rather from their underlying heart problems. However, if they do not undergo surgery for acute appendicitis, they will also die due to perforation of the appendix, which can lead to acute peritonitis and eventually multi-organ failure. With this new anesthesia technique, the risk of surgery is greatly reduced, and more patients can be saved.

  There is also the oblique needle method, which has a very good therapeutic effect on lumbar disc protrusion. As long as the bulging material of the intervertebral disc is not too large, three courses of treatment with this needle method can basically cure it. Now, lumbar disc protrusion can only be cured by surgery, but surgery also has a high failure rate. Other methods are simply impossible to cure this disease, and most of them rely on painkillers to relieve the pain, which is typical of treating symptoms rather than the root cause. However, if Chen Zhiyuan can master this needle method, it can be said that he has pioneered a new approach in the medical field, and can cure this disease without taking medicine or surgery, which is not an exaggeration to call him a divine doctor.

  Other needle methods also have their own magical places, making Chen Zhiyuan's heart hot and eager to exchange the attribute points required for these acupuncture methods with fat immediately, but collecting fat has become a big problem at this time.

  Currently, the fastest way to collect fat is to open a weight loss club, which can attract more people to sign contracts. However, the main product of this weight loss club is Chen Zhiyuan's stomach-clearing and digestion-improving pills, which do not have national approval for pharmaceutical production. If someone reports this, it will be a big trouble. Chen Zhiyuan has to accumulate funds first, use this money to obtain the production license, and then open a pharmaceutical factory to produce this medicine. Only then can the weight loss club officially open. However, his current food therapy club is still opened with bank loans, so he doesn't have enough money to promote the weight loss club yet, and has to wait until the food therapy club opens and earns enough funds to promote the weight loss club.

  Others are short of money, I'm short of fat, what's the point! Chen Zhiyuan sighed in his heart.

  Just then, Sun Changlin walked in and said: "Dr. Chen, the patient has been sent to the operating room, and the instruments you brought have also been disinfected. You can go down now, or let them anesthetize first!"

  "Anesthesia? I forgot about this, let them not bother with anesthesia, I'll go down and anesthetize personally!" Chen Zhiyuan said, then hastily ran out.

  Sun Changlin's mouth was wide open, "You're a surgeon, aren't you? Why are you still doing anesthesiologist work?" Anesthesia? What's going on here?
