21st Century Necromancer

In the VIP ward of the Eastern University Affiliated Hospital, Inomata Naoki's complexion looked much better compared to before. Although still pale, it was a definite improvement from the "zombie" appearance he had when first admitted to the hospital; now, he undoubtedly looked alive. Stay tuned to empire

After a thorough examination of Inomata Naoki's body, Chen Yu was satisfied to confirm that his vitality was progressively being restored. He then said to Inomata Naoki, "Your vitality is recovering. With just two more days of rest, you should regain about 70% of a normal person's vitality and be fit for surgery. So, Naoki, rest well these next few days, eat well, and strengthen your body, got it?"

"I got it, Brother Yu! Don't worry, I'll do everything you've told me!" Inomata Naoki was somewhat excited at this moment. The cancer that had troubled him for years was finally about to be completely cured. There was no better news for Inomata Naoki than the possibility of freeing himself from the illness that had plagued him for so long.

"Mmm, don't feel pressured, just adjust your mood and try not to get too excited," Chen Yu said with a smile, not wanting Inomata Naoki to get too nervous. He teased him, "Now, Naoki, you might want to start thinking about getting a girlfriend. Remember that mixer we had with the girls' school during college? There was a girl who seemed quite interested in you. Do you have her contact information?

I think, once you've recovered, you should try reaching out to her. Who knows, she might still be waiting for you?"

Inomata Naoki's face turned slightly red with embarrassment from Chen Yu's teasing, bringing a bit of color to his pale complexion.

After chatting for a few more minutes with Inomata Naoki, Chen Yu left his ward.

"When do you plan to operate?" Outside in the hallway, Daimon Michiko, who had been waiting, caught up with Chen Yu as he came out and inquired about the surgery plans.

Although she'd been prohibited from practicing medicine, no one had stopped Daimon Michiko from entering the hospital. So, to prepare for the surgery, Chen Yu had arranged through Professor Kube's connections to bring her into the hospital after the completion of his drug trials, allowing her to become as familiar as possible with Inomata Naoki's condition in preparation for the operation.

Hearing Daimon Michiko's question, Chen Yu naturally would not hide anything from her, the actual lead surgeon of the operation. He handed her the medical records he had just noted and explained, "Naoki's recovery is going well. Based on his current condition, we could operate in about three days. However, to be cautious, I've scheduled it for five days from now.

Everything should be fine, barring any unexpected issues."

"Hmm... indeed, his recovery is good. You're really impressive! The two drugs you've developed are revolutionary for cancer treatment," Daimon Michiko, as a top surgeon, had a clear understanding of the potential applications of the two drugs Chen Yu had developed. "I won't go into the cancer-inhibiting drug, as it's like a godsend for those with already spread tumors.

This life vitality-restoring drug could also be applied to those patients who originally could not undergo surgery due to age and health issues, allowing them to have surgery that was previously impossible, and even speeding up their recovery. Truly, it's a remarkable research breakthrough!"

Chen Yu just modestly smiled at Daimon Michiko's praise. He had heard enough of such comments in the days following his successful experiments. After all, no one working at Eastern University Affiliated Hospital was a fool; they all had the professional knowledge to realize the significance of Chen Yu's research.

Realizing the significance of Chen Yu's research, they naturally understood the achievements and development Chen Yu would have in the future thanks to these two studies. At a time like this, if they don't flatter him to build relationships, are they supposed to wait until Chen Yu's research is published and he has made a name for himself before they start sucking up?

While discussing Inomata Naoki's surgery, the two returned to the office. Chen Yu hadn't even settled into his seat when people already crowded around, eagerly serving him tea and water, so enthusiastic that they even pushed Daimon Michiko aside. She could only come to Jounouchi Hiromi's desk, lean on it with her arms folded, and silently watch these sycophants.

"Jounouchi, aren't these people being a bit too over-the-top?" She complained to her good friend while at the same time, teasing her, admiring that she really found a great man: "But, Jounouchi, your eye for people really is good! You picked such a good man right off the bat."

In response to her friend's teasing, Jounouchi Hiromi just smiled with a hint of pride, lightly patting Daimon Michiko's thigh, who was leaning on her desk: "Do you think everyone's like you, Daimon-san, only knowing how to perform surgeries and getting itchy hands if you don't hold a scalpel for three days? I've had my life and future planned out early on!"

"Ouch! Jounouchi, why do you still hit so hard! You haven't even softened a bit after getting a boyfriend! If you keep this up, I'm going to spill your embarrassing high school secret to your boyfriend!" Daimon Michiko, rubbing the spot where Jounouchi Hiromi slapped her thigh, threatened her with a frown.

Hearing Daimon Michiko mention "embarrassing high school secret," Jounouchi Hiromi's pretty eyebrows shot up and her large eyes rounded, as she sprung up from her seat, fiercely grabbed Daimon Michiko's collar, and threatened her with the Japanese tongue trill unique to the language, "You try saying it and see, if Mr. Chen Yu finds out about that incident, I will definitely take good care of you!"

"Yamero!" Being threatened like this, Daimon Michiko could only hastily beg for mercy since it was just a joke between friends, and neither of them was serious.

While the two were joking around, those crowded around Chen Yu were also asking him about the arrangement of the surgical assistant for Inomata Naoki's surgery.

Such a situation wasn't really surprising. Inomata Naoki was the actual clinical case for the application of Chen Yu's two studies, and he was also the only case. Only by completely curing his illness and creating a case report could they prove the value of Chen Yu's research in clinical application and receive recognition from the medical community.

Otherwise, no matter how outstanding your research, without a practical case to support it, it would just be an academic study, which is significantly less meaningful.

Therefore, it was understandable why these people were concerned about Inomata Naoki's surgery, especially since Chen Yu's research had already produced results, and this surgery was their only chance to be involved.

However, Chen Yu had obviously planned for this early on. Setting aside Daimon Michiko, the main surgeon, the assistant positions had already been decided in his mind: "Dr. Higashiyama will be the second assistant, Nakagawa, you are the third assistant. As for the first assistant, it will be Dr. Daimon Michiko, whom I have specially requested."
