The longed-for village system

Chapter 173 The Confused Siblings
"Teacher He, please don't feel sorry for me. Life is only a few decades long. Being happy is more important than anything else. Besides, it's not necessarily a bad thing that I didn't enter the entertainment industry," Chen Qing explained to Teacher He.

"Yes! With Xiao Chen's medical skills that can treat cancer, he is more suited to be a miracle doctor who saves lives."

Zhu Xun expressed a different opinion, saying that compared to entering the entertainment industry, she felt that Chen Qing was more suited to be a doctor, asking, "Who else in this world can cure cancer?"

Ha Wen nodded in agreement with Zhu Xun's words, "I also think that Xiao Chen is more suitable to be a doctor. It would be a pity if his medical skills were not used to benefit the people."

Li Yong also agreed with his wife and Zhu Xun's ideas. He knew that Chen Qing was also very good at song composition and poetry, but Li Yong felt that he was still somewhat inferior to Chen Qing in terms of medical skills.

"Alright, stop trying to trick me with your words. I'm not as good as you say. Things are fine in my village." Chen Qing interrupted their flattery, then turned to the brother and sister who looked dumbfounded beside him. "Peng Peng, sister, what's wrong with you? Is there something on my face? Why are you looking at me like that?"

Peng Peng and her sister only came to their senses after Chen Qing said that, but their eyes were still full of shock when they looked at Chen Qing.

They were stunned when they first learned the situation, wondering if they had misheard. Could Brother Chen really not only treat snake venom, but also cancer? Was what he said on camera last time just for the sake of the show?

"Brother Chen? You can really cure cancer? No matter what type? Weren't you just bragging when you said that on the show last time?" Peng Peng asked Chen Qing a series of questions.

Zhang Zifeng, the younger sister, nodded her little head. She felt her head buzzing. Was Brother Chen really that awesome? Or had they never known about Brother Chen's abilities?

"No! When have you ever seen me brag? Of course, I can't cure all cancers. Early and mid-stage cancers aren't too difficult, but late-stage cancers are hard to predict," Chen Qing answered truthfully.

"Why do I feel like I'm dreaming? This is a disease that humans call incurable! But you, Brother Chen, make it sound like a cold or fever." Peng Peng still felt it wasn't quite real.

"Everyone has their own expertise. If you know the treatment methods, it's not difficult to treat these diseases. Don't think of these diseases as so terrible."

Anyway, with the system's assistance, Chen Qing felt that this was not difficult at all. As long as you have hands and eyes, you can do it. The real treatment is not much different from treating a cold or fever. The only difference is that he will have to treat it several times.

Although they had gradually adapted to Chen Qing's rhythm, when they heard Chen Qing say this, they couldn't help but make a "you're awesome" gesture. They wondered if those experts and professors would spit blood after hearing Chen Qing's words. They had worked hard for decades and barely managed to develop an anti-cancer drug, and the effect was not very good. But in Chen Qing's mouth, it became a minor problem.

"Alright, you two calm down! There are more surprises for you to come!" Chen Qing said with a smile, seeing that the two of them were still gaping, which was also a reminder to everyone.

The skills the system is giving out are too overpowered. They'll definitely get more skills from signing in later. I'm giving them a heads-up so they can be mentally prepared.

"Xiao Chen, what you're implying is that you have other skills you haven't shown yet! Tell us quickly, what else can you do?" Teacher He asked immediately.

Now even Teacher Huang looked at Chen Qing with curiosity and anticipation. He knew Chen Qing much better than Zhu Xun and Li Yong, which was why he was amazed that Chen Qing had hidden skills that he hadn't yet revealed.

Can one person really have the energy to learn so many skills? Musical composition might be something one is born with and can learn without much study, but medical skills aren't something that can be acquired simply through innate talent; they require years of accumulation. The same goes for literary knowledge; it's not something you can master overnight and start writing poetry or painting. The saying "If your mind is blank, your pen will be empty" isn't just a saying.

But what about Chen Qing? He is proficient in all of these things, and some of his skills are things that others can never learn in their entire lives, such as medical skills for treating cancer. Now he is even telling them that he still has some skills that he has not yet shown.

Please be a normal human being! Huang Sanshi really wanted to say this to Chen Qing.

"Guess!" Chen Qing smiled broadly.

Who knows what skills the system will provide next? Maybe I'll become a scientist. Anyway, what I just said is a way of laying the groundwork for revealing skills in the future.

"Xiao Chen, I'm starting to believe Peng Peng's guess now. You're not really a time traveler or a supernatural being with alien technology like those protagonists in novels, are you? I've noticed your life doesn't make any sense!" Teacher He felt like some of his beliefs were about to crumble.

"I've been hosting for so many years and I think I've seen a lot of geniuses and academic achievers, but I've never seen anyone like you before. It's like you've been cheated. I'm starting to wonder if I'm stupid."

Seeing that Teacher He was beginning to agree with his views, Peng Peng immediately nodded in response, "Right! I felt from the very beginning that Brother Chen was extraordinary, just like the protagonist in a novel who has cheat codes. Otherwise, how could one person have so many skills?"

Chen Qing simply smiled in response to their speculations. He knew that he possessed a system that no one else could possibly know, and that their wild imaginations stemmed from their shock.

This time, Huang Sanshi didn't tease Peng Peng. In fact, at one point, he had also had the same suspicion: every now and then, Chen Qing would suddenly come up with a new skill, and each of these skills was at the expert level.

He himself was quite intelligent, and could be considered someone else's child even by age, but compared to Chen Qing, he really felt that he had wasted his life all these years. The difference between the two was just too great.

"Brother, you should read fewer of these unrealistic novels! All of this is what Brother Chen has worked hard for."

In the end, it was the younger sister, a soon-to-be college student, who spoke up to refute Peng Peng's conjecture, saying that they should trust science and that just because they couldn't do it didn't mean that Brother Chen couldn't do it.

Just like someone said, "My small goal is 100 million." Less than one percent of the world can achieve this goal, but can they say that no one can achieve it? The answer is obviously no.

Similarly, the fact that they cannot complete so much learning does not mean that Brother Chen is incapable. The difference between geniuses and ordinary people like them is enormous.

The group from Mushroom House stayed at the hotel for more than an hour before leaving. On the way back, Peng Peng and his sister kept asking Chen Qing all sorts of questions. They had managed to restrain their curiosity because there were outsiders around.

"Brother Chen, besides treating cancer, can you treat other diseases? Can you tell me just how good your medical skills are?" Peng Peng couldn't help but ask curiously.
