Chapter 006: Installing Plugins into the Brain

An Yuhang almost fainted from the pain just as Fang Zhengsheng was conversing with the middle-aged man. Suddenly, he heard the voice of the goddess coming from the Bluetooth headset in his ear, stating that the Health Star wireless plug-in had been modified and was ready for installation. An Yuhang was asked to confirm whether to proceed with the installation.

An Yuhang slightly raised his head to glance at Fang Zhengsheng, then staggered over to Fang Zhengsheng's seat

Thus, An Yuhang immediately agreed generously, saying: "Dr. Fang, are you implying that... as long as I can diagnose this elderly gentleman's condition, you will no longer pursue the matter of my tardiness today? Is that correct?"

As soon as these three words were spoken, An Yuhang immediately heard a dull "buzz" in his ear, as if the Bluetooth headset that had been lodged in his ear canal suddenly came to life, forcefully drilling deeper into his ear.

The gentle voice of the goddess, akin to that of a yellow oriole in a secluded valley, suddenly resonated in An Yuhang's mind, startling him. However, at the same time, the intense pain that had just arisen vanished without a trace.

The thought that he would no longer have any secrets in front of this goddess made An Yuhang feel as if he were completely stripped bare. As the saying goes, no one is perfect; even the most noble person must have a dark side that they do not wish others to know. Therefore, no one would be willing to fully expose their inner world to others.

Only the middle-aged man accompanying the patient designated by Fang Zhengsheng was unwilling. This man appeared to be the old man's son. Seeing that Fang Zhengsheng was about to use his father as a betting tool without seeking his consent, he immediately became angry. He stepped forward and slammed his hand heavily on the table, saying: "Hey... I say, is this the quality of the doctors at your Medical University Third Hospital? If you want to teach your students, please choose a different occasion. Why should my father be used as a test subject? Have you finished writing that prescription or not? If you have, hurry up and give it to me... We don't have the American time to waste on your nonsense!"

Although An Yuhang has been interning here for two to three months, he has mostly been doing menial tasks and errands every day, and has hardly had any real contact with patients, lacking any practical clinical experience. How could he possibly diagnose any illnesses?

An Yuhang instinctively reached up to touch his ear ... . ... Sure enough, he discovered that the Bluetooth earphone that had originally been in there was now missing

Fang Zhengsheng did not expect that An Yuhang would actually dare to take this challenge, and he couldn't help but feel amused, thinking to himself, what could a fresh graduate like you possibly understand

When the middle-aged man heard that all he had to do was let his father be examined by that young doctor here, he could get three prescriptions for free. Where else could he find such a good deal? Anyway, the doctor had already prepared the prescriptions, so he didn't need to pay any attention to what the young doctor said, and naturally, his father wouldn't be misdiagnosed!

The patients in the Traditional Chinese Medicine department, upon hearing this, felt that Fang Zhengsheng was indeed making a mountain out of a molehill; after all, it was just a matter of being a little late. Was it really necessary to push someone to the brink? However, most people have now become accustomed to minding their own business. Although they felt that Fang Zhengsheng's actions were somewhat unjust, no one was willing to stand up for An Yuhang.

It is truly astonishing; it turns out that the so-called plugin mentioned by the goddess is actually that Bluetooth headset. This... this thing can't really have drilled into my head, can it?

The symptoms of the patient just received by Fang Zhengsheng are quite apparent; however, the patient is unable to speak and has tremors that prevent writing. This makes communication with the doctor impossible, and diagnosing the condition becomes akin to solving a riddle. Fang Zhengsheng relies on his years of experience to make a rough judgment about the patient's condition, yet even he finds it somewhat difficult to be certain.

Fang Zhengsheng finished speaking and stood up, vacating his position. Just as he was about to call An Yuhang over, he noticed An Yuhang's face was pale, with beads of sweat forming on his forehead, looking as if he had been severely frightened. This prompted a cold smile from Fang Zhengsheng, who said: "What, are you scared now? Hmph... Do you still want to come up and embarrass yourself?"

An Yuhang and *Tu* Shuwen were greatly astonished upon hearing this, and deliberately thought to themselves: "So, does this mean... you can know everything I am thinking right now?"

Fang Zhengsheng said while patting the casebook in his hand, but he did not hand it to the middle-aged man. Instead, he smiled and said: "This student, Xiao An, is an intern from the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department of our Changhai Medical University. You see... he has been interning with us for less than two months and is becoming increasingly unruly, not only arriving late and leaving early every day but also showing disrespect to his superiors. I am taking this opportunity to test him and give him a profound lesson... Well, how about this... If this esteemed elder could cooperate a bit and allow this student Xiao An to take a look, I will cover the cost of the three prescriptions today. I will call the pharmacy later, and you won't need to queue to pay; just go directly to the pharmacy to pick up the medicine!"

You guessed correctly

Although it is merely an intelligent program that has now glimpsed into An Yuhang's inner secrets, An Yuhang still feels a sense of unease that he cannot accept

Just as An Yuhang was feeling suspicious, the voice of the goddess echoed in his mind once again: "That Bluetooth earbud has been modified by me into a plugin, and it is now installed in your cerebral cortex. It has switched to bioelectric charging, so from now on we can communicate through this plugin. You do not need to speak out loud to convey your thoughts to me; simply think about what you want to say, and I will be able to read the relevant information through your brainwaves."

However, now that An Yuhang has the goddess backing him, what is there to fear? Isn't it just a matter of diagnosing a pulse? Such matters can be handled by the goddess herself. As long as the goddess is willing to intervene, there is no need for any pulse diagnosis; a simple scan would likely suffice, and she could probably even count the total number of cells in someone’s body. Diagnosing a minor illness is certainly not a problem.

Due to the large crowd and the many eyes around, although An Yuhang was unclear about what the wireless plugin was and what its function might be, he felt it was inappropriate to inquire about it from the goddess in this setting. Thus, he nodded in confusion and said in a voice only he could hear: "Install it."

"Alright, alright, alright..." Fang Zhengsheng said with a cold smile, "Since you are so confident, I will give you this opportunity. Everyone present here can serve as witnesses. If you can accurately diagnose this elderly gentleman's condition, then I will not pursue your actions today. However, if you are unable to make a diagnosis... do not wait for me to expel you; pack your things and go back to school to study for another year!"

Fang Zhengsheng responded, "No problem... at most five minutes. If he is unable to make a diagnosis within five minutes, then I believe he has no need to continue studying Traditional Chinese Medicine in the future"

Fang Zhengsheng could not help but show a face of embarrassment and awkwardness. He quickly explained, "I am truly sorry; I did not mean to treat the patient as a test subject. I have already diagnosed this gentleman's condition, and the prescription has been prepared. Everything is written down here..."

If this situation had occurred before today, An Yuhang would have had to return to seek assistance from his mentor at the medical school to resolve the issue. Even if the mentor at the medical school were willing to advocate for An Yuhang, it would not necessarily guarantee the preservation of his internship position. The most likely outcome would be finding another internship opportunity for An Yuhang. Of course, the monthly stipend of 1,000 yuan for the internship would certainly be lost.

The middle-aged man immediately changed his expression, nodding repeatedly, and said: "Alright... since it is like this, I will have my father cooperate a bit, but you all need to be quick about it. Look, my father can hardly sit still now; we cannot afford to waste too much time!"

In an instant, An Yuhang felt as if hundreds of steel needles had simultaneously pierced his head, incessantly stirring within, causing such pain that his consciousness began to blur. What was most overwhelming was the incessant "rumbling" noise in his mind, akin to the starting of a tractor, which made An Yuhang nearly wish to smash his head against the wall to shatter it!

Fortunately, this painful sensation came quickly and left just as swiftly; it vanished just as An Yuhang reached Fang Zhengsheng's seat
