My Medical Skills Give Me Experience Points

Chapter 909: Chapter 361: A Steady Blade Like a Mountain – The Difference Between Having It or Not_2

“Alright, that knife technique improvement is almost visible to the naked eye! Having a teacher who resonates with you really makes a difference. I can sense your knife skills progressing at a remarkable speed.”

Zhou Can carefully examined the carrot carved by Jin Mingxi and spoke from the heart.

A master teacher truly produces outstanding students.

“Hey, we’re good friends, brothers even, don’t overpraise me!” Jin Mingxi said this with his mouth, but his face wore a radiant smile.

With his knife skills improving so quickly, he surely felt it himself.

“Look at what you’re saying. If you don’t let it go to your head, who can overpraise you? I need to practice my knife skills quickly. After being away for five days, my skills have surely rusted. When I see Director Hu tomorrow, if he sees my knife skills regressing instead of improving, he’ll probably scold me.”

Seeing Jin Mingxi’s rapid progress in knife skills, Zhou Can felt a similar itch to improve.

So far, he’s not even at the threshold of the Stable Knife Technique, and he definitely needs to work harder.

However, his learning time has been short, and he believes that with consistent study and practice, and the help of the Experience Points system, he will soon master it.

“Director Hu wouldn’t want to scold you! These past few days, he’s mentioned you multiple times and looks forward to your arrival every day at your appointed time.”

Jin Mingxi genuinely envied Zhou Can.

All the chief doctors have a unique affection for Zhou Can, nurturing him to the fullest. Clearly, everyone is human, so why is there such a difference?

He doesn’t even consider that Zhou Can’s talent, hard work, respect for teachers, excellent character, and outstanding demeanor as a medical practitioner make any teacher admire him.

“I can start tomorrow. No, I must quickly practice the Stable Knife Technique!”

Zhou Can was very clear that the improvement in knife skills was the greatest reward for Director Hu Kan.

“Old Jin, lend me a bag of carrots!”

“No problem, just take it!”

Jin Mingxi had stocked six large bags of carrots, which was conveniently beneficial to Zhou Can.

He took a bag of carrots and sat in front of the practice table he had missed for so long. The moment he grasped the scalpel, Zhou Can’s entire presence changed. This was the state of man and knife becoming one.

Almost every powerful and renowned surgeon can achieve this state of man and knife becoming one.

When Director Hu performs surgery, holding the knife makes him as stable as a rock weathering thousands of years in the river, firm as a mountain. When Dr. Xu performs surgery, he’s sharp and fierce, like a tiger beetle racing across the operating table.

After grasping the scalpel, a person’s aura changes—a manifestation of man and knife becoming one.

The surgeon imparts a soul to the scalpel, which deeply aligns with the wielder’s ideas and consciousness.

It’s as if the scalpel and the wielder have a mutual understanding.

This is a mysterious yet real realm.

Some doctors have explained this phenomenon, calling it the “living scalpel.”

It means that once the scalpel is in the doctor’s hand, it seems to become alive, imbued with life.

“Slash!”

Zhou Can held the scalpel and cut into the carrot, seeking not speed but stability. However, unlike Director Hu Kan and Jin Mingxi’s slow cutting method, Zhou Can’s speed was relatively faster than theirs.

This is the combination of speed and stability proposed by Director Hu Kan.

Since Zhou Can’s Fast Knife Skill was currently more advanced and he hadn’t even touched the basics of the Stable Knife Technique, he primarily relied on speed to seek stability.

He cut the carrot slice by slice, as the small scalpel in his hand came to life.

Sometimes cutting, sometimes lifting, sometimes slicing…

With each cut, he gained some insights, slightly enhancing his understanding of the Stable Knife Technique.

Time ticked by, with only the sound of carving carrots filling the dormitory.

Zhou Can forgot everything outside, immersing himself completely, constantly pondering and refining his knife skills.

His movements became increasingly stable, while his expression grew more relaxed.

By eleven o’clock, Jin Mingxi could no longer keep up, tidied up the practice table, and went to sleep. At thirty-seven, he couldn’t compete with the youthful vigor of Zhou Can.

His energy and physical strength were noticeably less than that of younger individuals.

This is also why many companies don’t hire new employees over thirty-five. By this age, cognitive ability, physical strength, and endurance all decline. The cost of training such talent is higher, and once trained, they are even older.

If the training period is eight years, they will be over forty-three by the time they’re fully trained, certainly considered middle-aged.

In reality, it’s rare for someone to be promoted from a newbie to a department manager within eight years. Most people take over twelve years.

Thus, companies prefer hiring guys in their twenties.

In the dormitory, only Zhou Can continued to diligently practice the Stable Knife Technique.

His patience and perseverance in doing things are highly commendable.

It also makes it more likely to yield results.

As the clock quietly ticked past midnight, the large bag of carrots Zhou Can borrowed was nearly depleted.

By observing closely, one could notice a change in his knife skills.

With each stroke of the knife, it was as if an invisible mountain pressed down on the blade—fast yet steady.

[Congratulations on successfully performing the Stable Knife Technique and grasping a bit of its essence, gaining a special knife skill—the Stable Knife Technique. This technique can be applied to dissections, separations, and wound cleaning to ensure stable cuts of target tissue during surgery.]
