Even though surgeries are tiring, seeing the system rewards makes Liu Banxia feel quite pleased.

His goals may seem a bit distant, but as long as he’s willing to endure hardship and put in the effort, he can definitely master the fixed skills, which are sure to be better than directly adding attribute points or embedding gems.

The system may be harsh, but it won’t cheat you with useless skills.

And those watching from the observation room? They feel quite emotional as well.

Liu Banxia is indeed Liu Banxia. He chatted and joked, yet completed such a complex surgery. One couldn’t even sense his strain or nervousness—it was just an ordinary surgery for him.

"Alright, you guys take the patient back to the ward, and then check on the previous patients. Then meet me in the small meeting room for some food and drinks. I’ll go to Qiaoqiao’s to grab some snacks; we still need to have a proper meal," Liu Banxia said, stretching.

"Teacher Liu, are we all going? Shouldn’t we help clean up?" Xu Yino asked.

"No worries, I’ll handle it here," Liu Banxia replied casually.

The six of them didn’t say another word. Once the patient woke up, they sent them back to the ward.

"What’s going on? Those six seem a bit off," Wang Lei said after they left.

"Haha, it’s okay, I’ll handle them later," Liu Banxia replied nonchalantly.

"Dealing with them is no big deal; it’s nothing. How about you? Want to join us for a bite? Nothing special, just some instant noodles."

"I’ll pass. Have a good talk with them. They’re pretty great," Wang Lei said.

"Alright, I’ll go grab some snacks from my place later. Qiaoqiao’s friends have prepared too much; I can’t even give it all away," Liu Banxia said.

"Haha, we won’t miss the opportunity to ’plunder the rich and divide the goods.’ You go ahead and grab them, we’ll tidy up here," Wang Lei joked.

Liu Banxia didn’t hesitate. With good relations, there’s no need to stand on ceremony.

"Done so quickly?" Qiaoqiao curiously asked when Liu Banxia returned.

"This surgery wasn’t difficult. You stay here; those six are a bit emotional, I need to handle it," Liu Banxia replied.

"What happened? What happened?" Qiaoqiao became interested.

"It’s just my guess. Having a meal with them should resolve it," Liu Banxia explained.

"Hmm... in that case, why not invite them here to eat?" Qiaoqiao hesitated briefly but looked hopeful.

Understanding his restless, thrill-seeking wife, Liu Banxia had no choice.

However, thinking she might be bored alone, and his mom can’t chat with her all the time, he nodded.

Seeing Liu Banxia agree, Qiaoqiao was overjoyed.

Usually, at this time at home, Tang Dou would keep her company, and they’d find something to do. Or when Liu Banxia returned from work, they could chat for a while.

The hospital is bustling during the day, with no issues. At night, it’s slightly quieter.

Qiaoqiao managed to gather the ’six little ones’ without Liu Banxia needing to intervene.

When the six arrived at Qiaoqiao’s ward, they felt a bit troubled seeing her smiling and inspecting each of them.

They anticipated that Liu Banxia would definitely get to the bottom of things, but they didn’t expect their mentor’s wife to join in.

"Aren’t you hungry? Don’t expect me and Qiaoqiao to serve you, right? Instant noodles aren’t as good as home-cooked ones, Liu Yiqing, go cook some noodles," Liu Banxia said.

Liu Yiqing, relieved, nodded and went to work.

She was glad for a temporary escape as the atmosphere had been tense.

"Having little feelings, I see..."

"Hey, speak properly," Qiaoqiao interrupted just as Liu Banxia began.

"I am serious. They had a little mood and insisted on making me guess. I don’t have that much time," Liu Banxia explained.

"How about discussing it after dinner? Otherwise, they might not eat well," Qiaoqiao suggested.

"Whether you stretch your neck or shrink it, it’s a cut all the same. Teacher Liu, if the surgery department gets split, how will we divide?" Xu Yino bravely asked.

"Divide what? Who told you it would be divided?" Liu Banxia glared at her.

Xu Yino was stunned, but soon her expression relaxed. "Oh, Teacher Liu, don’t sit there. The chair’s uncomfortable. Sit on the sofa."

"Qingqing, when cooking instant noodles, don’t put too much oil and seasoning. Teacher Liu can’t handle greasy food and prefers a lighter taste. Li Hao, hurry up and open those snacks. Don’t expect the teacher to serve you."

"Right away, right away. I was just considering the best way to open these snacks," Li Hao quickly replied.

"You guys, when you first came in, you were all so listless. But with just one sentence from him, you all came back to life." Peng Xiuqin said with a laugh.

"What department split are you talking about?" Qiaoqiao asked curiously.

"Actually, it was just Old Wang next door who mentioned it casually. Right now, I have too many patients, so in the future, we might split general surgery into two departments." Liu Banxia said with a smile.

"This will help manage my patients, and with so many emergencies now at the center, we’ll definitely need to split the department in the future; otherwise, Sister Li won’t be able to handle so many wards."

"Then they overheard it and thought I’d keep half and not care about the rest. Usually, their little brains are quick to react, but for some reason, they short-circuited this time."

"That’s what we thought; if the department is split, we would definitely be separated." Xu Yino said.

"That’s why I said your brains aren’t working." Liu Banxia said with a hint of frustration.

"With the split, you’re still part of the NOSES project team. Where else would you go? This is for the convenience of patient admission and management."

"Even if someone is reassigned, does that mean we’ll ignore the patients here? Or stop learning the surgeries? Are you trying to slack off or what?"

"Hehe, no, no, we just got off track." Xu Yino said with a giggle.

"Qingqing, how’s the noodle cooking going? It needs to be quick. We need a good meal so we can sleep well tonight. Cook quickly."

"The water hasn’t boiled yet, how fast can I be?" Liu Yiqing replied dejectedly.

"Don’t try to change the subject, so you’re just silly little brains." Liu Banxia said.

"It’s still unclear how it will be arranged, the earliest might be after the Spring Festival. It’s just that the promotion of the NOSES surgery has made my patient load increase suddenly."

"The director also needs to consider everything. You guys should also think about what to do then. We certainly can’t let everything fall to me, otherwise, the work on the other side would be exhausting."

After listening to him, they fell silent again.

Although they can work together on surgeries and manage patients together, they really want to stay by Liu Banxia’s side and don’t want to be separated.

"Why are you so dense? You can just take turns." Qiaoqiao suggested.

"This month these three, next month those three. Or even rotate quarterly, just like how our servers at Jinbao and Langtaosha take turns, it’s such a simple thing."

"Hmm... what my wife said makes a lot of sense." Liu Banxia nodded seriously.

Their expressions lifted again.

The master’s wife’s method is great; just rotate, and everything would be resolved, wouldn’t it?

They were overly concerned, which caused the anxiety. They care too much and all wanted to stay by Liu Banxia’s side, leading to emotional anxiety.

They’d never considered having to make such a tough choice. In their hearts, they just wanted to keep learning from Liu Banxia and master the surgical techniques he knows.

Despite often being ’bullied’ by Liu Banxia, they actually have a lot of respect for him.

Even though Liu Banxia keeps saying he’s learning too, his speed of learning is too fast, leaving them far behind. Moreover, the techniques Liu Banxia has mastered are very cutting-edge, very advanced.

"When I have time, I really need to talk to the director, and sort out the staffing." Liu Banxia said with a smile.

"After all, in our emergency center’s current setup, general surgery is dominant, and splitting it up is an inevitable result. You are the backbone of ward management, and both departments will rely on you then."

Although they’ll still be separated, with this rotation arrangement, they weren’t really bothered about this anymore. Anyway, it’s something for the leaders to worry about, as long as they aren’t left aside and ignored.

With today’s words, it was like they officially got a title. No matter how Liu Banxia progresses in the future, he will take them along. They are genuinely a teacher and students, and he will teach them thoroughly.

At this time, Liu Yiqing’s instant noodles were ready and brought over in a pot, with several poached eggs on top.

Earlier they were worried about being left out, but now they’ve forgotten about Liu Banxia, grabbing chopsticks and wildly digging into the noodles.

"Can you guys save at least one egg for me?" Liu Banxia said helplessly.

"We’re hungry, really hungry, we didn’t eat well at dinner." Xu Yino said and continued to devour the noodles.

In good spirits, the appetite is good, everything tastes great.

Without worrying about the burden in their hearts, they resumed normal behavior. Anyway, there are plenty of snacks with the master’s wife, Teacher Liu can always eat something else if not instant noodles.

"There are also some duck goodies here, dig in."

At this moment, Peng Xiuqin brought over a bag of duck treats.

"Thank you, Auntie." The six thanked in unison.

"Truly unruly, treating this place as their own turf." Liu Banxia grumbled.

"They are working hard enough, let them eat more. If it’s not enough, cook some more." Peng Xiuqin said.

She really felt a pang of heartache; they’re good kids, and they’re wolfing down instant noodles like this.
