The east gate of the university, Chunlai Restaurant's large private room!

Lin Jie looked at the dozen or so students sitting upright and smiled lightly, "Come to think of it, this is our first gathering for a meal, so don't be too restrained."

"Feel free, just treat it as a get-together among friends and classmates."

"Speaking of which, I'm almost the same age as you guys!" Lin Jie sighed again.

Hearing this, many people couldn't help but smile inwardly.

Teacher, are you kidding? You're almost the same age as us? You're five or six years younger than the youngest one among us, okay?

As they thought this, they took another look at Lin Jie, secretly intrigued!

To be honest, after the initial surprise at Lin Jie's exceptionally young age, they had never again thought about Lin Jie's age in the following days.

Lin Jie's knowledge is vast like the sea, his insights unparalleled, his critiques hit the nail on the head, making them admire him, even to the point of adoration and awe.

This feeling made them unconsciously treat Lin Jie as a legendary figure, while the issue of age was long relegated to some forgotten corner.

"Yes, teacher!"

"Hmm..."

"We're not restrained!"

Tian Xiangyu, Huo Guangheng, and others responded cooperatively and even swayed their bodies to show they were relaxed, but quickly returned to their formal sitting positions!

No one dared to be casual.

Tian Xiangyu sneaked a glance at Lin Jie, thinking that he found the teacher serious in one-on-one talks, sharp-tongued enough to be scary, but in the operating room, the teacher was even more imposing and daunting.

He glanced around at his classmates, obedient as primary school students, and silently lamented, "Teacher, your awe-inspiring aura has already deeply penetrated our hearts, no one really dares to be casual."

Lin Jie also noticed everyone's restraint, sighed silently, and ceased further talking.

After ordering a table full of dishes himself, he said, "I suppose you've all read the email I sent."

Lin Jie frankly said, "For this little one's condition, I couldn't immediately think of a good solution. I hope you can have better ideas or provide me with some inspiration."

His gaze slowly swept across everyone, saying, "Who wants to talk about their findings first?"

"Ahem..."

Usually posing as the senior brother, Tian Xiangyu cleared his throat and, with rightful confidence, said, "Teacher, I'll go first, maybe just to get the ball rolling."

He took out a laptop from his document bag, powered it on, pulled up a file, and walked over to Lin Jie to show him the screen.

"Teacher, I've developed a surgery plan. It mainly involves using an electric coagulation knife to sever and permanently seal off several smaller branches under the malformed supply branch..."

Tian Xiangyu pointed to the laptop screen, saying, "It mainly involves severing here, and a few fine branches here."

"That way, the blood flow through the malformed supply branch should be able to meet the needs of other brain tissues during peak operations, and headaches will no longer occur."

Lin Jie nodded slightly, "It's a good solution!"

Tian Xiangyu humbly replied, "Teacher, I was inspired by you."

"The surgery plan for 'Little Raindrop' involved sacrificing language ability to successfully excise the tumor, eliminating the risk to life."

"The condition in this case is more complicated. At a loss for other methods, I tried thinking about this case using your approach of damage replacement..."

Guo Peng couldn't help but ask, "Senior Brother Tian, what specific post-surgery damages does your plan cause?"

Tian Xiangyu hesitantly said, "According to my surgery plan, the patient would have a bit more post-surgery damage!"

"Be specific! Senior Brother Tian, be specific!" Guo Peng urged.

Tian Xiangyu replied hesitantly, "Post-surgery, the patient might experience motor dysfunction, sensory delay, inability to feed autonomously, sexual dysfunction, and possibly... dementia!"

Song Licheng and others, hearing this, couldn't help but shake their heads slightly.

This solution is indeed inhumane!

Though the headache issue is solved, it creates many larger problems.

In the long run, while this solution removes the threat to life, such living is worse than death.

Tian Xiangyu also understood the issues with his plan and wanted to explain seeing everyone's reaction.

However, Lin Jie spoke up, gently tapping the table, "Although Tian Xiangyu's proposal has significant post-surgery damage, the thought process behind it is feasible!"

"What I need from you is the solution thinking process!"

"As for whether this thought process can succeed and to what extent there will be side effects, you need not worry, I'll handle the follow-up issues."

He smiled, "Don't fantasize about coming up with a perfect solution, because I haven't thought of one myself yet. Your chances of thinking one up are even smaller—though not impossible."

"Who else wants to share their thoughts?"

Guo Peng quickly said, "Teacher, Huo Guangheng and I thought of a way together!"

"Alright, you two talk about it!"

Lin Jie further enticed, "As long as your solution is novel and inspiring, I will express my appreciation."

Guo Peng stood up excitedly and couldn't wait to say, "I'll talk, I'll talk!"

"We all know that once the patient's brain activity increases, the demand for oxygen rises, and due to vascular malformation limiting blood supply, it causes local brain tissue ischemia, resulting in severe headaches and fainting."

"The solution Huo Guangheng and I thought of is to control the brain's demand for blood; if this demand remains at a low level, the patient's headache symptoms will never happen."

"Brain activities are usually intensified by intense emotions and deep intellectual engagements."

"So, Huo Guangheng and I thought, in some way, to control or damage the patient's emotion control center and cognitive development, keeping the patient in a calm emotional state like still water and at a lower intelligence level..."

Guo Peng said proudly, "In such cases, the patient will never have headaches!"

After saying this, he glanced triumphantly at Tian Xiangyu!

Unconvinced, Tian Xiangyu said, "Your plan keeps the patient's cognitive level at that of a six or seven-year-old, and they would be emotionless like an ice man, not much better than my plan."

Lin Jie thought for a moment, nodding, "It's also a good thought process! Does anyone else have another method?"

"Teacher, Gao Yanhong and I also thought of one!" He Yimin said somewhat timidly.

Lin Jie nodded gently at her, indicating she could speak.

He Yimin stood up from her seat, took an A4 paper from her backpack, and placed it flat on the dining table.

Lin Jie noticed this A4 had a simple outline of a brain with several meaningfully unclear lines drawn on it.

"Teacher, the scheme Gao Yanhong and I thought of is a brain vascular bypass surgery, bypassing that malformed supply artery."

Facing Lin Jie's gaze, He Yimin's tone gradually became firm and confident, "However, this bypass surgery requires a rather long bypass, going around most of the right hemisphere, and the surgery difficulty is quite high."

"If your surgical skill surpasses what you've shown, I've calculated that this brain vascular bypass surgery has a possibility of success."

Lin Jie became intrigued and said, "Talk about your surgical plan in detail!"
