Top-class Bodyguard

Chapter 768 - 746: Hao Baishan Takes Action

The two people in the venue have already started answering questions, while Cui Junxian is explaining on the side.

"Now, I'd like to introduce these thirty questions. The selected cases range from common to rather rare illnesses, covering all kinds of conditions a doctor might encounter. This thoroughly tests whether a doctor's experience is sufficiently rich."

"For example, this question is how to treat tearing when facing the wind. This is an extremely simple question. Both representatives can write several treatment prescriptions, and Mr. Yin will decide which is better."

"Besides that, other conditions like colds, headaches, and bodily discomforts are all included in the questions."

Following Cui Junxian's introduction, many Huaxia citizens furrowed their brows.

"Isn't this competition too hard?"

"And this is just the first round, probably just an appetizer. It'll likely be more difficult later."

"I think for us outsiders, it's definitely hard, but it's different for the representatives from Chinese medicine and Korean medicine; they are insiders, it can't be hard for them."

"Correct, and Chinese medicine is definitely stronger than Korean medicine. Chinese medicine has a long history, whereas Korean medicine was developed based on traditional Chinese and Indian medicine. Its treatment methods and techniques belong to the realm of Chinese medicine."

"Upstairs, did you look this up on Baidu?"

"That's right, Baidu, but it's also true."

"If that's the case, our chances of winning are still quite high."

The populace was engaged in a flurry of discussions, while at the venue, members of the Chinese medicine delegation watched Xv Jie answering questions, somewhat concerned.

"Although Xv Jie is skilled in this area, he's still too young, and Zheng Kaiyong is also a brilliant and knowledgeable genius."

"It's a bit close."

Ren Feng watched the scene, where the large screen was split in half: one side with Zheng Kaiyong's answers and the other with Xv Jie's answers.

He glanced at the question topics, compared each side's answers, and couldn't help but frown slightly.

"Feng, is there something amiss?" Liang Keqing, beside him, noticed Ren Feng's action.

"Indeed, while the medical conditions are rather simple, the solutions proposed by each side are on entirely different levels."

Everyone watched, and in just under half an hour, both sides ceased answering questions, submitting them to Yin Xingshui.

Yin Xingshui sat there and, after reviewing everything, spoke to the surrounding referees in Korean, who then nodded.

"Zheng Kaiyong wins."

Xv Jie immediately stood up, glaring at Yin Xingshui: "I don't accept this."

Yin Xingshui had Zheng Kaiyong's answers given to him. After scanning through them, his face turned pale.

"Alright, the result of the first competition is out. Our South Korean medicine representative, Zheng Kaiyong, wins!"

Cui Junxian announced loudly, causing cheers among the South Korean audience on-site, chanting Zheng Kaiyong's name even louder.

"How did we lose?"

Huaxia citizens frowned.

"Yes, what happened?"

In Jiuzhitang, Yu Guanyi was watching the scene, seemingly about to become angry again.

"Yu, don't be upset. This is just the first round, and this Chinese medicine representative is too young; the opponent sent out a veteran."

A nearby Chinese medicine practitioner consoled.

While other members of the Chinese medicine delegation furrowed their brows.

"I'm going." Another middle-aged man said.

"In that case, Mr. Zhang, it's up to you this time."

Mr. Zhang approached the stage, and Cui Junxian said: "Alright, the Chinese medicine delegation has sent another person. This round is still the first one, but the organizers have decided to change the approach."

Everybody watched Cui Junxian as he smiled and said: "I understand that perhaps the Chinese medicine representatives were unsatisfied with their loss, so we'll give them another chance."

"This competition is simple. I randomly draw a medical question, and both sides propose a greater number of solutions. Whoever has more proposals wins."

The competition began again, and the question Cui Junxian drew was the simplest one, "how to treat tearing when facing the wind."

Mr. Zhang felt assured, extremely confident, and immediately said: "Ten secret blossoms, boil them with sugar water and drink it, specifically to treat tearing when facing the wind."

As soon as he spoke, Zheng Kaiyong chimed in: "Tearing when facing the wind can be the result of either heat or cold tears, requiring different treatments. If it's hot tears, that method won't work. I have thirteen solutions here, including oral and topical eye treatments."

"Boil mulberry leaves and silkworm feces, wash them in a concoction, and smoke the eyes for a few days for recovery."

"Ginger, washing spice, licorice, and realgar—four ingredients boiled for an hour. Take them for half a month, and they will be beneficial."

"Black fungus combined with medicinal thief, ground into powder, drink three times a day, it'll be resolved quickly."

"And more..."

Everyone was stunned, just watching Zheng Kaiyong speak rapidly, without pause. Each time Mr. Zhang wanted to speak, he was thwarted by him.

After Zheng Kaiyong finished, having proposed thirteen methods in total, the South Korean audience cheered, while the Huaxia citizens frowned deeply.

"No way, have we lost again?"

Yin Xingshui turned to Mr. Zhang: "Can you offer more solutions? They need to exceed the other side, and the solutions cannot be similar."

Mr. Zhang opened his mouth but ultimately shook his head.

In this round, Chinese medicine lost again.

"Haha, I told you, Chinese medicine really is rubbish. They aren't even a match for us Korean medicine in the first round."

"Exactly, and they're still claiming that our Korean medicine originated from Chinese medicine. That's really thick-skinned, speaking such words."

"Precisely, if they truly originated from their Chinese medicine, how come they can't answer these questions?"

Huaxia citizens were equally furious: "What's going on? How did we lose again?"

"Lost two rounds in a row!"

Cui Junxian smiled and said: "It appears the Chinese medicine representatives lost again. Actually, this was just the first part; later, there will be practical demonstrations, diagnosis through observation, interrogation, and acupuncture. But if Chinese medicine can't even pass the first part, there's no need to compete further."

Mr. Zhang descended with a guilty look, and the other Chinese medicine representatives patted him on the shoulder without saying a word.

"It's better if we go."

Liao Yuan suggested.

The others nodded.

"That's the only choice." As Liao Yuan was about to step forward, Hao Baishan suddenly spoke: "I'll take this round."

The Chinese medicine delegation members were startled and all looked at Hao Baishan.

"Mr. Hao, you have the highest medical skill in our Chinese medicine delegation. If we let you go, wouldn't that reveal our greatest strength to them?"

Hao Baishan shook his head: "The Koreans are well-prepared; many of the solutions Zheng Kaiyong mentioned are unconventional remedies. Similarly, those thirty questions must be like this. Although you all have rich experience, you're still not his equals in this area. Moreover, if we keep losing, it will significantly impact morale. We originally planned to crush them all the way; we can't keep losing."

After speaking, Hao Baishan walked towards the venue.
