Given Twist's knowledge and surgical skill, Wang Yiyang couldn't possibly equate him with the first hidden identity.
What puzzled him was that neither a search on his phone nor one on Mister's internal network turned up any trace of the Elvin Heaven-Question Medical Organization.
It was as if the organization simply didn't exist in this world...
"Hm? It doesn't exist?" Wang Yiyang suddenly froze.
Could it be that this organization—and this new identity—doesn't exist in my world at all? Could it be a random identity from another world?
The startling possibility flashed through his mind. He often read novels and watched movies and TV dramas, after all, so he immediately thought of such an outrageous explanation.
Proving the theory was actually quite simple.
Wang Yiyang's mind had been filled with Twist's memories of practicing medicine. The theoretical knowledge was fairly extensive. Although he lacked practical skill, he was quite familiar with all sorts of cutting-edge theories and technologies.
Using the memories of those advanced medical technologies as a guide, Wang Yiyang searched for them again, this time using specific keywords.
An hour later.
Looking shaken, he closed the chip's search engine and sat in his chair in silence.
...Most of the technologies in Twist's mind already exist today.
But some are still only hypotheses and theories... And there are even a few technologies whose materials don't exist at all...
He was becoming more and more certain that his new hidden identity, the doctor Twist, belonged to another world.
In that case... this new identity is worth something entirely different! Wang Yiyang sprang to his feet and paced back and forth around the room.
Even if Twist himself was nothing but a quack, the theoretical and technological knowledge he possessed far surpassed what was available in Wang Yiyang's Mien Federation.
Besides, the identity mission listed didn't seem difficult.
He only had to complete one surgical operation, regardless of its difficulty.
That was easy.
Wang Yiyang quickly worked out that he could use his position at Mister Group to arrange a surgical operation and perform it himself.
There was no need to choose a difficult procedure. The simplest one would do.
And there were countless extremely simple surgical procedures.
Wang Yiyang acted at once. Using the chip's holographic interface, he sent an order as the head of the Security Department—a task that would seem extremely bizarre to anyone else.
"Arrange the simplest surgical operation for him. Take care of the location, patient, instruments, and everything else."
It took Mister's executive department very little time to arrange a simple surgical operation.
After all, Mister was a pharmaceutical company with close ties to hospitals. What was more, it had its own private hospital.
At daybreak, Wang Yiyang received confirmation of the arrangements.
Five of the simplest operations, of various kinds, had been scheduled at Bavaria Hospital in Yingxing City.
He could go there and begin whenever he was ready.
Wang Yiyang changed into his coat, putting on the black trench coat and hat he had only worn a few times before.
He knew this did little to conceal his identity, but deep down, he still didn't want to be recognized whenever he came and went.
Whenever he had the chance, he tried to keep his destination hidden.
After changing, he went downstairs, where he ran into Li Ran. She was wearing her school uniform and carrying her backpack, ready for class.
She had tied a black scarf around her arm, apparently having wrapped up the funeral quickly.
When she saw Wang Yiyang, Li Ran managed a strained smile.
"Brother Yiyang, are you heading to work?"
"Mm. Are you going to class too?" Wang Yiyang replied casually.
"Yes."
After the brief exchange, neither of them had anything else to say.
When they got out of the elevator, Li Ran smiled at Wang Yiyang again, hitched her backpack higher, and hurried out ahead of him. She soon disappeared through the building's exit.
She seemed unsure how to face him.
Wang Yiyang sighed inwardly, checked his phone, and slowly walked out of the building.
Someone was already waiting outside.
A tall, shapely blonde with blue eyes and fair skin stood by the entrance. She wore a purple-black long-sleeved top and trousers and carried a briefcase.
When she saw Wang Yiyang come out, she stepped forward.
"Boss." She greeted him respectfully in Eresa.
"Lei Wei?" Wang Yiyang raised an eyebrow.
"Yes. I'm glad to be of service." Lei Wei nodded. "The operation you requested is ready. Shall we go straight there, or have breakfast first?"
She seemed to have settled into her role very quickly.
That was one of the reasons Wang Yiyang had chosen her.
Before joining Mister, Lei Wei had worked several times as an executive assistant. She had performed extremely well in administrative roles.
Several of her former bosses had given her glowing reviews.
More importantly, Lei Wei had also worked as a personal assistant for a few of them.
Wang Yiyang was currently distracted by all kinds of troublesome matters, and needed an assistant who could help him with both his personal life and his work.
"Let's have breakfast first. Have you eaten?" Wang Yiyang asked, switching to Federation Standard.
"Already eaten," Lei Wei replied simply.
Unlike the other assistants, she worked extremely quickly and precisely, and left nothing incomplete. But she was also quite cold by nature.
"One of her bosses said she lacked warmth," though he had still given her a high rating.
Once they got in the car, Wang Yiyang didn't ask where they were going or what they would eat.
Lei Wei didn't disappoint him. She drove him straight to a nearby upscale restaurant with good food and a pleasant atmosphere.
The restaurant had already prepared the coarse-grain meat porridge Wang Yiyang liked, along with meat pies and fruit salad.
The food wasn't fancy, but it was exactly what he wanted.
He finished breakfast quickly without wasting a moment. He had plenty to do that day.
First, he had to complete the operation. Then he would go to the Yahelian Training Center and experience the Limit Martial Artist's strength firsthand, so he could decide whether to form a partnership with the Martial Alliance.
Then, if the test results showed that Limit Martial Artists were strong enough, he could use the Yanhu Sect to hire more fighters.
Twenty minutes after breakfast.
Wang Yiyang changed into sterile scrubs, put on a mask and protective goggles, and entered the operating room with two assistants.
The surgical lights were already on above the operating table, and all the monitoring equipment was running normally.
The instruments made a steady jumble of sounds that rose and fell around them.
Standing beside the operating table, Wang Yiyang steadied himself and looked at the nurse beside him.
"Everything's ready." The temporary nurse gave him a firm nod.
Only after hearing her confirmation did Wang Yiyang take a deep breath and look at the patient lying face-down on the operating table.
The patient's rear end stuck up in the air, with a bamboo splinter embedded deep in the right cheek.
All Wang Yiyang had to do now was carefully remove it.
The patient had originally thought it was a minor issue and that the hospital could take care of the simple operation in ten minutes.
But after a series of arrangements, he had ended up under anesthesia and been wheeled into a sterile operating room.
He still hadn't woken from the general anesthesia.
"What's the exact cause?" Wang Yiyang asked quietly.
"The medical record says he was sleeping on a bamboo mat. He rolled over without noticing and got a splinter from the mat lodged in his flesh.
"He tried to pull it out himself, but snapped off the exposed end of the splinter. He couldn't do anything about the part still inside."
The nurse explained, her expression a little strange.
Getting called in first thing in the morning for such a ridiculous operation was one thing.
But now, what should have been a ten-minute procedure required a sterile operating room, general anesthesia, all kinds of monitoring equipment, two nurses watching over the instruments and standing by for emergencies, and a specialist waiting outside in case they had to step in...
This... Even a heart bypass didn't involve this much fuss, did it?
The nurse had no idea what was going on, but she would be paid ten times her usual rate for this overtime.
So she might as well treat it as a training exercise.
That was what she told herself as she watched Wang Yiyang standing by the operating table.
Wang Yiyang was completely focused, his eyes fixed on the exposed patch of skin. Then he slowly picked up a pair of surgical forceps...
The operation went smoothly.
No matter how inexperienced Wang Yiyang was, he had plenty of surgical experience from Twist's memories. A procedure this simple was easy for him.
Half an hour later, Wang Yiyang changed back into his clothes and walked out of the operating room.
The procedure had been a success. He had followed the standard steps carefully, one by one.
Though he had removed the splinter halfway through, he still conscientiously completed the rest of the procedure, following every standard step.
After all, because he had no practical experience and his hands had been shaking for no reason, he had made the wound in the patient's buttock too large during the extraction. Blood had splattered everywhere.
Fortunately, two experienced nurses had been watching closely and had stepped in with timely reminders and assistance. Otherwise, the operation might have gone wrong.
Lei Wei had been waiting in the reception hall.
When she saw him come out, she immediately stood and went to meet him.
"The car is ready, Boss."
"Good."
Wang Yiyang didn't leave right away. Instead, he stood there and waited for a little while.
Before long, he saw the system data in the lower-right corner of his field of vision start scrolling again.
Lines of data flashed and shifted rapidly. A few seconds later, a line he could understand popped up.
"Identity mission complete. Randomly selecting an item of value from the identity..."
"Selection in progress..."
Wang Yiyang waited quietly. He doubted that anything useful would come from the identity of Doctor Twist, but something was better than nothing.
A few seconds later, the flashing data stopped again.
"Selection complete. You have obtained: Anatomy Mastery."
The instant the data stopped, a vast array of images and information flooded into Wang Yiyang's mind.
Countless bits of anatomical knowledge from Twist's identity surged into his brain.
The dissection of all kinds of living creatures appeared before his eyes in graphic detail.
