Aquaman's Eye-Opening Experience

Medical Center.

Self-service restaurant.

The chubby white Stu's flamboyant Battle Through the Heavens.

Adam also felt a bit nauseous, so he simply put down his knife and fork, picked up his plate, and left.

"Dr. Duncan."

Just as I stepped out of the restaurant, I bumped into John Carter, a medical intern, who was walking towards me carrying a lunchbox.

"Carter."

Adam didn't stop walking and nodded to him.

For the average working person.

Taking advantage of chaos and getting paid to do chores is the most profitable thing.

Therefore, the longer the lunch break, the better.

But for someone like Adam who earns Lifespan, the shorter the lunch break, the better.

Now he is strong enough to stand on his own.

Although he is restricted by his identity, he cannot unleash his full power.

However, in the emergency room, he encountered life-saving situations every two or three days, which allowed him to basically achieve a balance between the depletion and extension of his Lifespan.

In other words, if things continue like this, he can maintain it forever, or until humanity no longer needs doctors and uses the kind of advanced technology like the all-powerful medical machine in Elysium.

But by then, he will already be Duncan Billion, and he will no longer need to treat patients or save lives.

John Carter paused for a moment, then quickly turned around and followed.

"The second lesson is to adjust yourself according to the needs of your superiors."

Adam turned his head and smiled at Carter, who was hurrying along, and said, "Senior doctors are usually very busy. Many times you need to do what you're doing now, to quickly and accurately report the situation while the senior doctor is on their way to the Operating Room."

"Yes, Dr. Duncan."

Carter nodded repeatedly.

"Is there something you need?"

Adam reminded him.

"Oh oh."

Carter quickly presented the lunchbox and said with a smile, "These are my braised pig's trotters. Dr. Duncan, please try them and give us your feedback?"

"Hehe."

Adam stopped in his tracks.

They had already arrived at the emergency room.

The nurses at the nurses' station, who knew Carter Nurse Know-It-All, saw him standing there with the lunchbox and not doing anything else. She slapped her forehead, came over, opened the lunchbox, and took a clean glove.

"Dr. Duncan?"

"Thank you, Violet."

Adam skillfully spread his arms, letting the Nurse Know-It-All put the bra on him, before picking up a Braised Pork Hock. He looked at it for a moment, then, under Carter's expectant gaze, took a bite.

"How about it?"

"It is too sweet."

Adam shook his head, put down the pig's trotter, and patted Carter on the shoulder. "But it's thoughtful of you."

With that, he left.

"It is too sweet?"

Carter frowned. "It's not sweet."

"Hmm, the cooking is good."

The Nurse Know-It-All had already picked up the braised Braised Pork Hock that Adam had taken a bite of and started eating it in big bites. She commented, "Everyone's taste is different. Dr. Duncan's taste is more Eastern, while our Western food is more sweet. We're used to it, so we can't tell the difference."

Westerners love sweets.

When it comes to something everyone loves, it's candy.

All kinds of donuts are unbearably sweet for those who aren't used to them.

"Eastern taste?"

Carter was a little confused. "But isn't Dr. Duncan United States?"

"United States also have a particular fondness for Eastern flavors."

The Nurse Know-It-All, who was happily munching on Braised Pork Hock, reminded him, "Anyway, I've noticed that Dr. Duncan has had his assistant send over authentic Eastern cuisine several times. If you want Dr. Duncan to be satisfied, you'd better find a genuine Eastern chef to learn a skill. That will definitely make Dr. Duncan look at you differently."

"So troublesome?"

Carter gave a wry smile.

"Oh!"

The Nurse Know-It-All scoffed, "This is troublesome? You have no idea how many people want trouble but don't even have the chance. When Dr. Duncan becomes a resident next year, medical students like you won't even have a chance to get close to him."

I only gave you some pointers because I thought you were alright.

You expect to reap rewards without sowing any seeds?

If you're thinking like that, get as far away from Dr. Duncan as possible!

"I don't."

Carter quickly replied, "When I'm resting, I'll immediately go find an authentic Eastern chef and learn properly from him."

"This Braised Pork Hock?"

The Nurse Know-It-All, finished one and then eyed the remaining one in the lunchbox.

"You can have it if you like."

Carter finally got the hint.

"Um."

The Nurse Know-It-All, accepted the gift with satisfaction and glanced at Carter: "Since you're so sincere, I'll help you out again."

She hooked her finger, gesturing for Carter to follow her.

Arriving at the nurses' station, he pulled a card from a drawer and handed it to Carter: "This is information about the chef of the restaurant that Dr. Duncan likes to eat at. If you're capable, you can learn directly from him and save yourself a lot of trouble."

Thank you.

Carter expressed his sincere gratitude.

This certainly saved him a lot of trouble.

Most people wouldn't even dare to think about it.

An amateur should learn a skill from a master chef?

Dream on!

Fortunately, the Carter family was well-off; while not exactly wealthy, they were middle-class enough not to drag down the average.

Everyone knows that.

As long as you don't drag down the average, you're doing better than 70-80% of people.

As time goes on, and wealth increasingly concentrates in the hands of a very small minority, those who don't lower the average will likely live better than 90% of the population.

Being averaged out would be a deeply abhorrent thing.

Time flies when you're in the hospital.

In the blink of an eye.

Several weeks have passed.

The biggest news in the last few weeks has been that Paige finally gave birth to Adam's first child, according to the Duncan - Adler formula.

Adam published a paper based on this, which sparked heated discussions in the medical community.

Combined with the 'accidental' widespread circulation of the videotapes of the legendary Alice Grey's open lectures in the medical community, the reputation of the brilliant doctor Adam Duncan gained wider recognition among professionals.

Overjoyed, Adam was truly grateful to Paige.

The time has come to November 1st, the traditional United States holiday of Halloween.

Adam went to work as usual.

I had originally planned to skip cooking after work and head to New Jersey early to celebrate Halloween with Paige.

Unfortunately, Paige was unmoved by this.

Adam decided to stay at the hospital and work overtime.

That night, with so many troublemakers, someone was bound to be unlucky.

The Medical Center is quite busy.

Late at night.

Back at the apartment.

I will continue to study mathematics as always.

Only through accumulation over time can one truly master a skill!

A knock came at the door.

Adam looked out from the monitor and couldn't help but laugh.

A tall, slender figure wearing a black hooded robe stood outside the door. As if sensing that Adam was watching her, she looked up in the direction of the camera and revealed a face wearing a brass-carved half-face mask.

These are clearly Eyes Wide Shut outfits.

Who else could it be but Alice Kidman!

Adam opened the door and let her in.

She entered without a word, removed the brass-carved half-human face mask, unfastened the black hooded robe to reveal a tight-fitting white fish-scale uniform, wore a silver crown, her long hair was wet, and her face was cold and beautiful.

At around twenty years old, her appearance was truly stunning.

"I like Halloween."

This was Adam's last thought.

P. S.: I only wrote one chapter at noon. I haven't finished the other chapter yet. I'll post it tonight. Sorry!
