Chapter 30 - Chapter 30: Do You Want Something to Happen?

After checking, he was pleasantly surprised to find that the level experience points had increased by 10.5.

Level: Junior Resident Doctor 300/500.

Just 200 points away from leveling up to Senior Resident Doctor.

Based on yesterday's experience, follow-up consultations or simple treatments only increased level experience by 0.5. The 0.5 from the 10.5 should be from the follow-up consultation with that old lady.

The remaining 10 level experience points naturally came from treating Ms. Ou.

Normally, treating a patient at most increases level experience by 1 point.

This time, it increased by 10 points all at once. Li Jingsheng privately guessed that it might be related to the difficulty of diagnosing Ms. Ou's disease. Moreover, prescribing medication for her was quite taxing, requiring high demands on drug efficacy and pharmacokinetics.

It seems the more difficult the disease to treat, the more level experience points gained.

The old lady saved yesterday, the difficulty of treatment shouldn't have been much higher than treating Ms. Ou, so why did it increase by 100 level experience points?

Could it be because a life was saved?

Or perhaps it was because it was the first time independently rescuing a critically ill patient, greatly enhancing his ability to stand alone?

Can't be determined yet, only continuous exploration.

Li Jingsheng discovered that besides the increase of 10.5 in level experience points, proficiency in Pulmonary Medicine diagnosis increased by 0.5, drug efficacy increased by 0.6, and pharmacokinetics increased by 0.5.

Diagnosis: Pulmonary Medicine proficiency 99.9/100.

Just 0.1 proficiency points away from leveling up, yet stuck here motionless.

The respiratory diagnosis performed on Ms. Ou just now was highly challenging.

Logically speaking, Pulmonary Medicine diagnosis proficiency should minimally increase by 1.

Finally, because it was stuck, it only increased by 0.5, causing him a pang of heartache.

The other 0.5 proficiency points were swallowed by the attribute panel.

A big loss.

What's the reason the diagnostic skill cannot level up?

Due to your level restriction, medical skills cannot be upgraded for the time being.

This is the explanation provided by the attribute panel.

Li Jingsheng was so angry he almost swallowed the entire bun in one bite.

If only they had said earlier!

The level is just Junior Resident Doctor, not allowing his medical skills to exceed too much.

Because once the diagnostic skill reaches proficiency and upgrades one more level, it becomes an attending physician level.

It seems the level is extremely important!

It directly determines the upgrade limit for all medical skills.

Medical skills can at most be one level higher than the level.

Otherwise, it will be stuck and not move.

Just 200 level experience points short of leveling up to Senior Resident Doctor, honestly treating patients, requires treating at least 200~400 patients.

According to Sunshine Clinic's current business volume, averaging two patients a day, needing 200 days to treat 400 patients.

The rent is only less than 90 days before it expires.

Not to mention 200 days, even 100 days, Li Jingsheng can't wait that long.

The conventional method of leveling up is too slow, so he must find a shortcut.

At this moment, he truly wishes for two more old ladies like last night's.

"Right, life value can also be converted into level experience points. Strive to accumulate 200 life points, and the level can be raised."

He thought of a more reliable method.

Though the benefits brought by last night's old lady were considerable, the risk was also frighteningly high.

Moreover, it's hard to encounter even one in a year.

It's more reliable to earn life value steadily.

Subconsciously checks the life value balance.

After the Pulmonary Medicine diagnosis upgrade failure, it was initially only 33 points, now it increased to 35.

It seems that successfully treating each patient earns at least 1 life value point.

"Oh, Dr. Li is just having breakfast! Looks like business is good today!"

A greasy face popped in.

It was none other than Boss Zhao, who almost got into a fight with Li Jingsheng yesterday.

After a night, Boss Zhao acted like nothing happened, visiting Li Jingsheng's Sunshine Clinic again.

"Boss Zhao, I can't agree with that! A doctor's heart is like a parent's heart; I studied medicine to save lives, not to make money. Only you treat patient care as a business, no wonder your Quick Recovery Clinic has patients lining up."

Li Jingsheng had always maintained a facade of harmony with Boss Zhao.

After yesterday evening's fallout, now he didn't bother being as courteous as he usually was.

Heart-piercing remarks.

The medical industry avoids using terms like booming business, good business. Some hospital management fails to understand the unwritten rules, and during hospital staff meetings displays banners like "How to improve hospital business?" Such extremely cringe-worthy slogans.

Then exposed by people, directly leading to official criticism.

Many hospital leaders received punishment following this.

The medical industry generally refers to good business as well-conducted business.

Busy business and the like.

Boss Zhao was stunned, finding this kid seemingly very different from before.

He used to be as respectful as a grandson when seeing him.

Why suddenly toughen up in the past two days?

With small, bulging fish-eye, Boss Zhao scrutinized Li Jingsheng carefully.

Naturally couldn't discern anything.

The attribute panel of Li Jingsheng is something even his parents don't know about, so how would Boss Zhao know?"

"Haha, slip of the tongue, slip of the tongue!"

Boss Zhao, someone who's been hustling in society for decades, turned out to be much harder to deal with than Li Jingsheng expected.

For an ordinary person, a wealthy boss at that, having almost gotten into a street fight with Li Jingsheng yesterday, it would be impossible to shamelessly come over for a chat today.

Yet Boss Zhao acted as if nothing had happened and continued to 'talk' with Li Jingsheng.

Those who didn't know might think they were old friends.

"Hey, where's Beauty Ping Tang? Is she inside administering an IV to a patient? I specifically came here today to apologize to her."

Saying that, he started heading towards the infusion room.

"Hold on, Boss Zhao, both the treatment room and the infusion room are designated areas for treating patients, unauthorized personnel cannot enter. Your clinic is bustling with business, and various infectious diseases could occur, what if you enter and inadvertently transmit a virus to my patients?"

Li Jingsheng quickly blocked Boss Zhao.

"Hmm... there's a little truth to that. Then I'll just wait outside for her to come out. Beauty Ping Tang, I'm Boss Zhao from Quick Recovery Clinic. I drank too much yesterday and was very disrespectful, today I've come specifically to apologize."

Boss Zhao yelled inside, raising his voice.

"If there's nothing else, Boss Zhao can leave now. I'll pretend yesterday's incident never happened."

Tang Ping, a single woman with a child.

Surely doesn't want to completely fall out with someone as wealthy and powerful as Boss Zhao.

"Ah, Beauty Ping Tang is still so gracious! You're so beautiful and skilled in nursing, you're such a talent, why don't you consider working at my Quick Recovery Clinic? Dr. Li offers four thousand a month, I can offer six thousand, plus other bonuses."

Boss Zhao truly doesn't give up.

Seeing Tang Ping speak amiably and not pursue his disrespectful behavior yesterday, he actually started poaching her right in front of Li Jingsheng's face.

He wanted to lure her away.

"If Boss Zhao got drunk yesterday and forgot, then I'll state it again. I like working at Sunshine Clinic, have never thought about changing jobs, and hope you won't bring this up again. Otherwise, our boss will not be pleased."

She spoke in a very serious tone.

"Alright, I won't mention it again, as long as you keep this in mind. My Quick Recovery Clinic is always welcoming you to work there anytime."

Boss Zhao, with a cheeky grin, blatantly ignored Li Jingsheng.

Being treated as air by this old rascal, and having Tang Ping poached in front of him, Li Jingsheng endured.

Now with quite a bit of powerful medical skills, he was confident enough to defeat Quick Recovery Clinic.

A biting dog doesn't bark.

When the time comes, all he needs to do is to snatch Quick Recovery Clinic's 'cake' piece by piece.

That would be a hundred times better than cursing Boss Zhao furiously now.

Last night, Boss Zhao pushed that old lady toward Li Jingsheng's clinic, and shortly thereafter, he saw an ambulance speedily arrive and stop in front of Li Jingsheng's clinic. This incident excited him so much that he couldn't sleep half the night.

He initially thought Sunshine Clinic would definitely close down today.

At seven-thirty, Boss Zhao even specially came to see, the clinic's door was tightly shut.

Usually, Sunshine Clinic was the earliest to open, starting business at twenty past seven.

Boss Zhao further believed Li Jingsheng might have encountered a fatal injury and possibly closed shop to run away.

Who would've thought, when Boss Zhao came over after finishing noodles, not only did he find Sunshine Clinic open, but there were actually two patients coming in for consultations early in the morning.

This made Boss Zhao incredibly jealous.

After waiting for a while, seeing no activity, no family members set up wreaths or burned joss paper at the clinic's entrance, nor did police show up.

Things seemed a bit off.

Unable to hold back, Boss Zhao finally decided to shamelessly visit in person to find out what was going on.

Upon entering, he'd been covertly observing Li Jingsheng.

Noticing the kid leisurely enjoying two large meat buns, occasionally sipping soymilk, his days seemed quite comfortable.

Boss Zhao muttered internally, could it be that the kid knew he was going to jail soon, so he was hastily enjoying himself?

He decided to ask.

"Dr. Li, last night I saw an ambulance was parked in front of your clinic, nothing major happened, right?"

The real purpose of his visit was indeed to inquire about this incident.

"What do you wish happened?"

Li Jingsheng asked back playfully, with a double entendre.

"Haha, of course, I hope your clinic remains safe and sound. You might not believe it, but years ago I also started from a small clinic like yours, deeply understanding its hardships and difficulties. So when I see young people like you opening clinics, I can't help but care about you and try to provide assistance whenever possible."

Boss Zhao had refined his acting to a fairly high level.

Uttering lies with wide-open eyes, not even blinking.

Moreover, the expression was convincingly sincere.

If he hadn't suffered losses a few times at the hands of this old rascal, Li Jingsheng might've almost believed him.

"I saw with my own eyes last night that you and a doctor and nurse were carrying a patient onto the ambulance. At that time, I was far away and couldn't see clearly. But I felt that the old lady should be dead. How did you treat that old lady?"

Boss Zhao asked 'concernedly'.

"From far away, unclear view, yet you still know the patient was an old lady, this remark is interesting."

Li Jingsheng squinted at him.

"Uh... it felt like an old lady, didn't see too clearly. You didn't give her an IV, right?"

Boss Zhao wouldn't give up without finding something out.

As long as he confirmed Li Jingsheng had given the old lady an IV, he would be relieved.

At that moment, the clinic's glass door was pushed open again, a dignified middle-aged man, along with a well-dressed, beautiful, graceful middle-aged woman, walked in together.

Both displayed a remarkable presence, evidently not ordinary people.

"Who is the owner of this clinic?"

The middle-aged man's tone carried a hint of authority, while his expression appeared quite serious.
