The ICU was tense. The monitors' beeping echoed in the sterile, white room like a heartbeat of impending doom. A young woman lay on the bed, her body weak, organs failing one after another. Nurses moved frantically, trying to stabilize her.
"We might lose her…" whispered one doctor.
Lin Chen stepped forward, his hands steady, gaze sharp and calculating. "Prepare the organ stabilization protocol. Administer the medications exactly as I instruct. Begin immediately."
The room fell silent. His voice carried authority that seemed to cut through panic. Every move he made was precise; every decision carefully calculated.
"Ultra-high difficulty case detected. Temporary override activated," the system whispered in his mind.
Lin Chen's hands glowed subtly, a sign of the system enhancing his abilities. He coordinated every step, monitoring vitals, adjusting medications, stabilizing breathing, and communicating with the team in perfect clarity.
Hours passed. Sweat trickled down his brow, but his focus never wavered. Slowly, the monitors normalized. The patient's vitals stabilized. Relief washed over the room, silent but overwhelming.
"Reward: $500,000 USD. Surgery Grandmaster skill unlocked," the system announced.
Su Xiaoyu watched in awe, her admiration deepening. Lin Chen, normally so calm and introverted, had become a figure of brilliance and hope, a young man who seemed to wield life itself in his hands.
