"Your results are out, but it seems there's a slight issue with them. We're still discussing it and expect to have a conclusion a little later. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause!"
With that, he hurried away.
Cao Baming was dumbfounded. Wu Xue, standing beside him, was equally bewildered.
Back in the expert panel's conference room, the male doctor placed the documents in his hands on the table and exhaled loudly, voicing his confusion.
"What do you think? Any leads?"
The other doctors lowered their heads, appearing deep in thought.
The reason for this situation was that Cao Baming's re-examination results had come back. The analysis indicated that his injury had essentially healed!
This was enough to illustrate the gravity of the matter.
After all, the previous assessment had stated that there was almost no chance of him being discharged within two months, yet the re-examination suggested his body was already fit for discharge!
This meant that either the first diagnosis was wrong, the second was wrong, or the data had been mixed up with another patient's.
It couldn't possibly be that the person's body had healed on its own, could it?!
As doctors, they were naturally rigorous and scientific, not prone to superstition. They certainly wouldn't believe in such things.
Therefore, the problem at hand became increasingly apparent.
Over the past hour, these five experts and their assistants had meticulously compared the current diagnostic results with the previous ones. They found absolutely no discrepancies.
They had even cross-checked the names and identification numbers, digit by digit and letter by letter. It was clear that these diagnostic results and images belonged to Cao Baming.
Furthermore, even if such a possibility existed, in the past week, he was the only injured athlete admitted to the hospital. The injuries of all other patients were significantly different, making confusion unlikely.
So, what exactly was going on?
When you eliminate all other possibilities, the remaining one, however unacceptable, must be the truth.
Although no one present spoke of it, their hearts had begun to feel uneasy.
Could it truly be that this fellow's body had healed on its own? And in just three days!
After much deliberation, the expert panel could no longer devise any other explanation.
The group leader stood up and ended the discussion with a single statement.
"Alright, alright. In that case, let's accept this conclusion."
"However, when communicating with the patient, don't attribute it solely to the patient's own physical condition. Make sure to mention that our treatment played an indispensable role, and the results exceeded expectations."
The doctors below nodded in agreement.
Subsequently, they discussed Cao Baming's discharge date, setting it for four days later, exactly one week from his admission.
However, if Cao Baming wished to stay for a few more days, they wouldn't object, as this was a situation they had never encountered before.
After compiling the results, they were first sent to the club's senior management, while simultaneously, the doctor walked towards Cao Baming's room.
Cao Baming and Wu Xue were both in the ward. Upon hearing the news, Wu Xue jumped up excitedly, while Cao Baming remained calm, as if he had expected it.
At this moment, Cao Baming was thinking to himself how effective this system truly was!
He had only spent a few days' worth of accumulated points and had already gained such significant benefits!
However, he still didn't know what other uses his points had.
After the doctor left, Wu Xue soon departed temporarily due to academic matters, and Cao Baming finally had some time alone.
"System, besides speeding up healing, what else can points be used for?"
After a brief two-second wait, the system's voice responded.
"Ding! The uses for points have been found for you."
"First, they can be used to upgrade talent levels."
"Second, they can be used to exchange for attribute points."
"Third, they can be used to exchange for ordinary, advanced, and top-tier talent skill cards."
Cao Baming's eyes lit up.
"Stop, stop, stop! Top-tier?"
As far as he knew, advanced skill cards were the highest level. He hadn't expected there to be a top-tier!
How powerful would that be!
"System, how many points are needed to exchange for a top-tier talent skill card?"
"Ding! The number of points required to exchange for a random top-tier talent skill card is: 13,000,000 points."
"..."
"Thirteen... million?!"
"That's too much! I'll never reach that in my lifetime!"
Cao Baming shook his head helplessly. It seemed he had been overthinking things. He might as well exchange for attribute points!
"System, please continue. Are there any other uses?"
...
After an "in-depth conversation" with the system throughout the night, Cao Baming gained a deeper understanding of the point system and talent system.
It turned out that the system's functions were far more powerful than he had imagined!
When the club received the news of Cao Baming's recovery, they were initially surprised and even angered by the hospital's initial misdiagnosis.
However, they quickly became pleased, as this was excellent news for them.
If he could be discharged this weekend, he might be able to play in a week or two, possibly not even delaying him for the most important match two weeks later!
A match against Liverpool, who were second in the Premier League standings!
Over the next few days, people from the club visited him frequently.
Cao Baming stopped pretending and immediately discarded the leg brace. He could even walk around the hospital like a normal person without crutches.
Many of the nurses who had seen him when he first arrived at the hospital were startled when they encountered him.
However, Cao Baming had long grown accustomed to it.
Unconsciously, it was the last day before his discharge. Cao Baming intensified his efforts in his spare time, and to further accelerate his recovery, he took a one-hour walk every evening after dinner.
Accompanying him on these walks was naturally Wu Xue.
During this period, Wu Xue had spent the most time with Cao Baming, even more than the nurses.
Every day, all three meals were prepared by Wu Xue herself!
Moreover, her cooking skills impressed Cao Baming; it was even better than that of professional chefs in restaurants, and the taste was unforgettable.
On this evening, after parting with Wu Xue, Cao Baming returned to his ward and walked to his bed.
In an instant, he felt the room was so quiet and desolate. On the table still lay an earring that Wu Xue had left behind when she departed...
And at this moment, a sound suddenly echoed in his mind.
"Ding!"
The system's voice?
Cao Baming suddenly stopped what he was doing.
"Congratulations to the host for completing the mission, receiving a reward: Advanced Talent Skill Card [God's Perspective], and an additional 3000 points!"
"Hmm?"
After the system's voice, Cao Baming's mind returned to its previous calm, just like the room itself.
Soon, he reacted!
