Chapter 22: The Great Perfection of Medical Skills First Watch Seeking Support

  Just like in the imagination of Zhou Yi, the so-called medical equipment in the nursing home is nothing but small things like stethoscopes and blood pressure meters; The so-called medicines are just some common anti-inflammatory and antipyretic drugs. Moreover, these devices and medicines have been covered with a layer of dust due to long-term non-use.

  Zhou Yi was idle with nothing to do, so he simply swept the floor. Although his job basically relied on mixing, even if it's just going through the motions, one still needs a bit of spirit, right? Going through the motions is also a way of life; having the correct attitude makes it leisurely, but without the correct attitude, it's just muddling along until death, and that's a huge difference.

  Moreover, he still held a glimmer of hope. He remembered that in the system store, he had once seen medical equipment and medicine under the category of "Medical Skills", but unfortunately, he was never able to activate this secondary profession. Now, with more exposure to these medical devices and medicines, perhaps he would be able to activate it unexpectedly, just like how he activated his culinary skills and the system store.

  Four years of undergraduate study, three years of graduate school, and the combination of I Ching and medicine can be considered an old couple. Therefore, the most anticipated part-time job is still this one. Moreover, he was a postgraduate student in integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine internal medicine, and during his graduate studies, under the guidance of his supervisor, he made significant contributions to the topic of "Magnetic Needle and Human Meridian Studies", and it was also because of this topic that he earned his first pot of gold.

  Unfortunately, most of the big shots in the medical field today come from Western medicine, and the absurd theory that "Chinese medicine is useless" has dominated more than half of the academic world. As a result, the research direction of I Ching has also become a useless thing that is tasteless to eat and a pity to abandon. Although I Ching is carefree and doesn't mind, it still has a hint of regret.

  Although he didn't think about becoming the most successful Chinese and Western medicine combined authority in Hua Xia, he was still a little curious: "I wonder if the medical skills in the system will make it as magical as cooking?"

  However, this time his luck seemed to be a bit off, and the system didn't react at all. Zhou Yi wasn't discouraged, went to the well to fetch some water, used the electric kettle he brought with him to boil it, washed up, and then went to sleep.

  This was his first time spending the night in a rural area since he was born, listening to the croaking of frogs and the chirping of crickets, gazing at the starry sky through the glass window, which had been a rare sight in the city for a long time. He soon fell asleep.

  This dream is a bit romantic, and it actually turned out to be a dream about Liu Xue...

  ***

  The next morning, what woke up Zhou Yi was not an alarm clock, nor was it the lovely willow cat who wore a flower crown and ran happily in the mountains with a smile. It was a systematic reminder: "System birthday gift package has been generated, do you accept? Do you accept?"

  "System birthday gift package...... Today isn't even my birthday?"

  The Zhou Yi turned over and got up, if it was his own birthday, without saying that the elder sisters would definitely call to remind him, even Zhu Xiaohua and those few would definitely make a phone call at dawn to remind him to get up.

  "What's the system birthday? Is it..."

  I suddenly remembered that today is the one-year anniversary of my encounter with the 'strange occurrence'. Although the system wasn't triggered at that time, but rather lay dormant in my body for at least half a year, if I had to say when the system's birthday was, it would indeed be that day.

  That day which once shattered his heart and soul, yet changed his life forever...

  "Do you accept birthday gift packages?"

  In the system interface, a golden light flashed back and forth in a brocade bag. In Zhou Yi's eyes, this was undoubtedly another huge pie.

  The Zhou Yi chose to accept without hesitation. A flash of golden light appeared in front of him, and two green silk pouches emerged.

  "Green?"

  The mind of I Ching is moving, the equipment in the system is classified by color, the lowest is white, a little better is dark gold, and the top is green.

  These two brocade pouches are actually green, and it's clear that they're not ordinary; thinking about it, the system's birthday gift box wouldn't be bad either, would it?

  At this moment, Zhou Yi's mood was indeed a little excited, the system had brought him too many surprises, and he didn't know what kind of surprise it would be this time.

  With some trepidation, after opening the first gift box, the system prompt sounded again: "Upgrade token appears, master can choose from the following secondary occupations, one-time activation and upgrade to level 9, this upgrade does not affect the character's upgrade potential points, but only one item can be chosen, once chosen, it cannot be changed, please operate with caution......"

  All that can be seen is a green token flickering non-stop, with text changing on it every 4 or 5 seconds, which are: "Medical skills, Planting, Animal husbandry, Winemaking, Calligraphy, Music, Painting, Chess..."

  As for playing the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, Zhou Yi's interest is not too great. Instead, he has some aspirations for planting, animal husbandry, and winemaking. Especially winemaking, with a nine-level Da Yuan Man brewing technique, what kind of fine wine would it produce? Wouldn't Zhu Xiaohua and the old second, fourth, and fifth drunkards be envious to death?

  But after some thought, Zhou Yi still chose to activate the upgraded medical technique. Enjoying and having a bad taste are important, but medicine is his old profession after all.

  Huayi Ninth Level Great Perfection, Medical God Title!

  A faint light flashed in the system, and behind the secondary occupation, another item of medical skills appeared. What made Zhou Xing slightly disappointed was that the medical skills in the system did not refer to both Chinese and Western medicine, but rather referred to Huayi, which had dominated the Chinese medical world for over 3,000 years, but gradually declined due to the impact of modern Western medicine.

  The nine levels of Chinese medicine, including the nine levels of acupuncture, massage, pharmacology, prescription, and pill making... Moreover, after the emergence of this secondary occupation, in addition to cooking skills, there is also a new ability that has emerged from the intersection of the two major occupations - medicinal cuisine at level 9.

  In addition, the control of fire in cooking is also a supplement to the nine levels of traditional Chinese medicine. The so-called nine levels refer to the ability to synthesize the timing, geography, and human condition in different seasons and places, accurately prescribing medication for patients with the same symptoms but different conditions without deviation. However, for some complex and difficult diseases, extremely skilled decoction techniques are required, at which point the control of fire skills in cooking become especially important.

  Moreover, after reaching the ninth level of perfection in both professions, countless prescriptions and recipes appeared in Zhou Yi's mind, intersecting with each other like chemical reactions, producing numerous medicinal cuisine formulas. Zhou Yi was also known as a connoisseur who had eaten his way through the 49 cities, but many of these formulas were unheard of to him before...

  "That's great, from now on we brothers not only have to eat well, but also eat healthy, that's what life is all about..."

  I Ching is very satisfied. The successful integration of these two major part-time jobs will not only comprehensively improve the quality of life, but also make himself a resident doctor who can do his job with real credentials.

  After calming down a bit, Zhou Yi turned his gaze to another brocade pouch. The upgrade token just now was already so incredible, what kind of surprise would this pouch have in store for him?

  "Open the brocade pouch..."

  As the idea of Zhou Yi flashed by, this green brocade pouch was also opened, and what appeared inside was not one thing, but three!

  Three pieces?

  The heartbeat of Zhou Yi began to speed up...
