Chapter 1321: Chapter 1321: Hidden Endurance Attribute

"Tsk tsk, it seems Director Liu is in a really good mood today, ordering so many dishes."

At lunchtime, Wang Chao came over with a tray.

"If you want to eat, just say so. I still have a surgery in the afternoon. Relax well tomorrow, the big showdown is the day after tomorrow," Liu Banxia said.

"Sigh... you guys have your big showdown, I’ll be lucky to peek from the kitchen team," Wang Chao replied.

"Why sound so pitiful? You could research more on this aspect later, right? Your intestinal transplant project is quite popular now, isn’t it?" Liu Banxia asked.

"Popularity is one thing, but the key is we still can’t find any theoretical support," Wang Chao said with a sour face.

"Don’t talk about me, Brother Hui and Brother Huan are also worried sick. Can you give us some advice on this? You have plenty of ideas anyway."

Liu Banxia shook his head decisively, "This really won’t do. If you ask me to handle a couple of surgeries for you, that’s no problem. The intestinal microbiome is too complex; I don’t expect to ever fully understand it in this lifetime."

"Exactly, that’s why I’m a bit worried now. We can’t just write a muddled paper, right? It would all be nonsensical data with no valuable content," Wang Chao said.

"There are so many topics to pick from. Why not research with them and see if you can split one?" Liu Banxia said indifferently.

"Why hang yourself on one vine? That’s just icing on the cake. Expecting this project to really cook up a feast is incredibly hard."

"It not only requires a lot of your energy but also a significant amount of funds and equipment for research. If you truly have personal interest in this, it’s okay. If not, I think developing a good method is enough."

"Like me, I never spend time pondering new surgical techniques. Whatever others have, we just learn it. How long do we have in a lifetime? We must be prudent."

He spoke seriously, amusing Xu Yino greatly.

She knew how the fecal transplant center was initially organized thanks to Liu Banxia’s efforts. Now, the great demon king is making sarcastic remarks, even annoying President Wang.

"Haha, just kidding. If you even make a little breakthrough on this project, the reward will be international recognition," Liu Banxia continued.

"Think about it, you’re already at the forefront internationally. Keep pushing, guys, there’s plenty of time for you to keep trying. I’ve finished eating, I’m going to rest for a while, you guys take your time."

After finishing his words, Liu Banxia took his empty plate and left.

Wang Chao looked at him with lifeless eyes and then at his barely touched food, "How did he eat so fast today? In just a short while, he devoured all that food?"

"Didn’t you notice, President Wang? Teacher Liu was speaking while constantly putting food into his mouth," Xu Yino said.

"But once the surgery is over in the afternoon, Teacher Liu can indeed rest a bit more. The liver transplant the day after tomorrow is quite stressful; two surgeries, removing the liver and transplanting the liver, both need him to perform."

Wang Chao nodded, deciding to make an effort to finish his meal too.

Can’t surpass Liu Banxia in medical skills, can’t let him outrun me in eating either.

Actually, what is Liu Banxia up to? He wants to use this lunchtime break to play a round of skill solidification.

This time, he genuinely planned a big move, having saved up Glory Points for long enough to at last solidify his stamina attribute.

During the first solidification, due to having few Glory Points, he could only solidify his mind initially. In his understanding, stamina is also a very important attribute, even if it seems somewhat unremarkable.

Returning to his department’s office, Liu Banxia pulled up his attribute panel.

Liu Banxia: Level 66, 256815/264980

Title: Respected Surgeon

Mind: 80 points (Ability to understand, memory, focus, calmness enhanced by 25.00%)

Agility: 80 points (Stability, speed, touch sensation enhanced by 48.15%)

Strength: 78 points (Strength, mastery of instruments, instrument effectiveness enhanced by 81.40%)

Stamina: 60 points (Endurance, physical power enhanced by 53.85%)

Attribute Points: 8 points

Solidification Stones: 37 pieces

Glory Points: 2801 points

Dressing Technique: Level 5

Suturing: Level 5

Diagnostics: Level 5

The stamina attribute requires 13 points to solidify because his basic stamina attribute points are 39, and one exquisite stone added 8 points.

His stamina was sorely lacking, so during initial skill point allocation, he paid more attention to stamina.

Ding! Please choose the attribute value to solidify.

Looking at the four options that appeared, Liu Banxia selected the stamina value.

Ding! Please select the number of attribute points.

In the dialogue box that appeared next, Liu Banxia entered 13.

His hands were actually shaking—it took so long to accumulate the Glory Points, and he was about to spend 2600 in one go; it was indeed a "fortune."

Ding! Please be aware that this solidification requires using 13 skill points, 13 solidification stones, and 2600 Glory Points. Once solidified, the gem embedded in the attribute will automatically be destroyed.

To solidify again, the attribute skill points will reset to zero and will need re-solidification.

Ding! Do you wish to choose to solidify? YES/NO

Liu Banxia clicked YES.

Ding! Solidifying starts...

The dazzling light appeared in front of him again; it felt even more beautiful than the first time he saw it, because this time he had more expectations.

Ding! Solidification successful

Consumed 13 attribute points, 13 solidification stones, 2600 Glory Points, destroyed one exquisite emerald

Seeing the prompt, Liu Banxia quickly brought up the attribute panel again.

Liu Banxia: Level 66, 256815/264980

Title: Respected Surgeon

Mental: 80 points (Understanding, memory, focus, calmness increased by 25.00%)

Agility: 80 points (Stability, speed, tactile sensation increased by 48.15%)

Strength: 78 points (Strength, instrument mastery, instrument effect increased by 81.40%)

Endurance: 52 points (Endurance, stamina, consumption reduction increased by 0.00%)

Attribute Points: 8 points

Solidification Stones: 37 pieces

Glory Points: 201 points

Dressing Change Technique: Level 5

Suturing Technique: Level 5

Diagnostics: Level 5

Liu Banxia was quite satisfied with this; indeed, the solidification triggered hidden attributes. This reduction in consumption is essentially like gaining more stamina.

To conserve profits, it’s just about expanding sources and reducing consumption. Now I have expanded sources and reduced consumption, how wonderful.

Ding! Successful inlay of the exquisite emerald, gained 8 endurance points, now 60 points (Endurance, stamina, consumption reduction increased by 15.38%)

With such changes, holding up these two surgeries on the day after tomorrow shouldn’t be a problem. If any difficulties really arise during the operation, I can bite the bullet.

Even though the remaining Glory Points aren’t many, based on my current strength, the consumption isn’t as massive as it was during my rookie period.

Before, as a complete newbie, I inevitably got nervous on stage, which accelerated stamina loss.

Now my medical skills have improved, endurance has increased, consumption has decreased; this isn’t just a simple matter of addition and subtraction, the interpolation will definitely magnify greatly.

"What are you peeping at from the door? Come in."

Glancing at the door, Liu Banxia shouted.

Xu Yino and Liu Yiqing walked in, though their gazes towards him were slightly odd.

"What’s going on?" Liu Banxia said helplessly.

"Nothing much, didn’t you say you were going to rest? How come you seem so energetic? Eyes shining, just short of drooling." Xu Yino asked.

Next to her, Liu Yiqing nodded vigorously, feeling the same way.

"I was just fooling Wang Chao to avoid his constant questioning," Liu Banxia replied casually.

"Actually, I haven’t really taken this afternoon’s surgery too seriously. So just before, I was considering other things. Wouldn’t it be fun if I could rack up surgeries like appendix removal and gallbladder extraction?"

"You guys have to work a bit harder. If you can handle all the preliminary work ahead of time, after I finish here, I can go straight to your side, and everything will link up."

The two girls rolled their eyes, thinking the big boss was going crazy.

But then again, the big boss isn’t wrong, he indeed has the qualification to be crazy.

Because the big boss’s skills are right there; he finds these surgeries effortless.

It’s just the limitation of the operating room, but if one day the big boss is highly motivated, with an accumulation of patients, what if he requisitions two to three operating rooms?

And then if we can help him with some surgical tasks, and he only has to handle the most crucial parts, this doesn’t seem too difficult.

In the big boss’s eyes, there seems to be no impossibilities. His crazy ideas sound insane at first, but then also seem genuinely insane.

But if he were to seriously pursue them? It doesn’t seem all that crazy.

"Actually, I’m really looking forward to the surgery on the day after tomorrow. It’s going to be tight, so I’ll have to tell Qiaoqiao I won’t be going home that night," Liu Banxia continued.

"Teacher Liu, keep it up," Xu Yino weakly waved her little fist.

"Hehe, Teacher Liu, when it’s done, can we have a feast in the evening?" Liu Yiqing asked with a grin.

Xu Yino didn’t know what to say anymore; her teammate was slightly unreliable.

But truth be told, she’s also looking forward to the dinner the day after tomorrow.

Regardless of whether it’s her or others, no one has ever considered the possibility of failure for this surgery. This confidence has been instilled since she started learning from Liu Banxia, watching him perform surgeries.

Including even urgent rescue operations, the big boss can handle them without issue. Compared to those, this liver transplant surgery, despite its high difficulty, isn’t really a big deal.

It’s a kind of blind faith, too; this point hasn’t even been given a thought.
