"Beep...beep..."

A few urgent whistle sounds suddenly pierced the calm of the early morning!

In just a few seconds, Gao Yanhong, He Yimin, Huo Guangheng, and Guo Peng came rushing out from two adjacent rooms, fully dressed.

They glanced at each other, took in the redness of everyone's eyes, and asked in unison, "You didn't sleep all night either?"

The place where the four of them stayed was a small logistics base in Binhai City, run by the military district, with a garrison of just over thirty people.

Since this location was relatively close to Binhai University and conveniently located, the Military Medical University arranged for them to stay here after some coordination.

Two people shared each dormitory, which was equipped with air conditioning, computers, and internet. And they were free to arrange their schedule, creating the most convenient conditions for their studies.

But due to their innate discipline as soldiers, the four of them still woke up every morning to the base's military whistle, then circled the base's roads ten times as a wake-up exercise.

As they quickly moved towards the stairs, Huo Guangheng softly asked, "Did you two come up with any solutions?"

He Yimin pursed her lips and slowly said, "Yanhong and I discussed and researched all night and barely came up with a solution. But whether it will work or not depends on the teacher's surgical skills."

She hesitated and said, "Even though I've tried to overestimate the teacher's ability, it still feels like the feasibility of this plan is quite low..."

Guo Peng laughed and said, "He Yimin, why don't you specifically talk about your method, maybe we can give some suggestions for improvement!"

"Don't say it!"

Gao Yanhong hastily stopped He Yimin, who was about to speak, and shot a sidelong glance at Guo Peng, saying, "Guo Peng, keep your little schemes to yourself. Are you trying to steal our idea for your own use?"

Guo Peng snorted and said, "Gao Yanhong, don't judge others by your own standards."

"Not only did you two think of working together, but Old Huo and I also brainstormed and fought all night to come up with a brilliant idea!"

"To be honest with you, the idea Old Huo and I came up with is not only feasible but also guarantees that the child will live a long life."

He confidently stated, "This time, we've got the teacher's reward in the bag."

Hearing this, Huo Guangheng felt his face flush a bit and shouted, "Guo Peng, stop bragging!"

"The method we came up with is purely a lousy idea. I'm even a bit worried now whether the teacher will scold us furiously."

"What rotten idea did you come up with?" asked Gao Yanhong, her curiosity piqued!

"Old Huo, don't say it!"

Guo Peng snorted, "You're hiding your method and not telling us. Why should we tell you our method?"

"Let's just talk about it in front of the teacher!"

Guo Peng said smugly, "I'll say it again, this time not only will we beat you, but we'll also beat Tian Xiangyu, Fang Huanru, and others. Old Huo and I have secured the teacher's reward."

On Saturday evening, not only Gao Yanhong, He Yimin, Huo Guangheng, and Guo Peng, but also Tian Xiangyu, Fang Huanru, and others received an email from Lin Jie.

The attachment in the email detailed the medical history, original check-up forms, and X-ray images of a ten-year-old child.

Lin Jie wrote in the email, asking everyone to think outside the box and come up with ways to solve the problem of cerebrovascular malformation in this case and alleviate the patient's chronic headache.

To motivate everyone, Lin Jie also proposed a reward.

The reward was that whoever came up with a feasible solution could make one request of him that was within his ability, possibly even gaining an exemption from a mistake.

Lin Jie had always claimed that a patient's life is only one, so everyone also only has one chance.

Anyone who makes a mistake, or is negligent, or fails to meet Lin Jie's satisfaction will be mercilessly dismissed by him.

This stringent requirement from Lin Jie had always kept everyone anxious and under immense pressure.

Now to have the chance for a mistake exemption made everyone excited, while they also understood that for Lin Jie to offer such a reward, this case must be quite challenging.

The truth proves that there really is no free lunch in the world. Earning the reward Lin Jie promised is not easy at all.

The four of them pondered deeply for over a day but still didn't have a clue.

Helpless, they gave up on obtaining the reward individually and brainstormed with their roommates for a night, finally making some progress...

At eight twenty, dressed in casual clothes, Huo Guangheng and the other three stepped into the fifth-floor classroom of the Medical College's comprehensive teaching building.

After greeting and chatting with Xiao Ganghao, Fang Huanru, Song Licheng, and others who had arrived earlier, they sat in the second row, where four empty seats had been left for them.

Huo Guangheng and the others noticed that Song Licheng and his companions looked quite weary as well.

It's certain that they also hadn't rested well in the past two days and had been pondering over Lin Jie's case topic.

Fang Huanru shook a large thermos cup on the desk and said, "This cup is full of strong coffee, made from coffee beans I specially ground this morning and brewed fresh."

"If anyone wants a drink, just let me know. Don't be shy!"

Song Licheng let out a big yawn and said, "Before coming here, I already had five cups of instant coffee and I'm still dead tired. I guess another cup of freshly ground coffee won't do much."

Xiao Ganghao chuckled and said, "I have a special method that can instantly make you feel awake. Want to try it?"

"Try it, why not?"

Song Licheng eagerly said, "I haven't thought of a solution yet, so I definitely won't get the teacher's reward. If I actually fall asleep in class, the teacher will probably kick me out."

"Come on, let me try it!"

Xiao Ganghao seriously said, "You asked for it, don't blame me later, okay?"

"If it can wake me up, I'd be grateful, no reason to blame you!"

"Hurry up, the teacher's almost here, no delays..."

Before Song Licheng could finish his sentence, Xiao Ganghao took out a black object from his pocket and jabbed it at him.

"Ah..."

All they heard was Song Licheng letting out a scream like a butchered pig, leaping three feet into the air, and springing out of his seat!

Trembling all over, he pointed a shaky finger at Xiao Ganghao and angrily said, "You... actually... used a stun baton on me..."

Xiao Ganghao laughed heartily, waving the stun baton in his hand, and said, "How is it? Aren't you feeling super awake now?"

"I've tested this voltage and current on myself, constantly using it to perk myself up."

"I can guarantee, getting zapped like this will make you feel incredibly refreshed with absolutely no harm."

"Anyone else want to try it?"

Just as many of the auditing students in the classroom were silently labeling Xiao Ganghao as a lunatic or masochist, Wei Hongyang stood up and said, "Senior Brother Xiao, give me a try..."

"I want to try as well!" Ma Hongmin also stood up!

...

At eight twenty-eight, Lin Jie walked into the classroom, formally starting the lecture.

At noon, twelve o'clock, the class ended on time!

Lin Jie said to the group following him, "Let's have a lunch gathering; I'm treating. And let's hear your creative ideas in the meantime."

"I hope you can give me a surprise, not a shock!"
