"After all, she’s from Prison Star and inexperienced with the world. She probably thinks it’s so minor illness, daring to boast so confidently. It just proves the saying: ignorance is bliss."
"She’s just too young and doesn’t understand the gravity of the situation."
Those willing to attend the banquet today, more or less, had connections with Si Mingjing’s mother or grandfather. They didn’t wish to see her beco a laughingstock due to overconfidence.
"Mingjing, cancer is no trifling matter. It hasn’t been conquered in the dical world to this day. Even if you can’t cure it, no one will mock you," Old Master Su said earnestly, trying to persuade her not to stick her neck out.
"Right, everyone knows cancer isn’t curable. You don’t need to take this on," Lady Ye also advised.
For the first ti, they felt this child seed a bit reckless.
Others also chid in to persuade her. "Cancer has been a challenge for humanity for thousands of years. Don’t be rash. Even if you say you can’t cure it, nobody will mock you for being incapable or having insufficient dical skills."
"Believe , no one here can cure it, not even your great-grandfather, Old Master Song."
Old Master Song approached, leaning on his cane and stroking his beard. This great-granddaughter of mine truly loves to show off, doesn’t she? Daring to make such bold claims about anything.
However, when the guests suggested that even he couldn’t cure it, Old Master Song scoffed inwardly. Cancer has indeed been an insurmountable challenge for humanity for many years; countless top talents in the dical field have sought a definitive cure. If soone were to cure it, it wouldn’t just be about gaining fa! Whoever could cure cancer, this so-called terminal illness that has plagued humanity for thousands of years, would be immortalized in history! As a highly respected physician in the dical community, how could I not wish for such fa and to be rembered through the ages? That’s why, for decades, I’ve dedicated myself to researching cancer treatnts. And indeed, perseverance pays off. Finally, in my later years, I accidentally found a breakthrough. I’ve been waiting for the right mont to announce my new discovery. Who knows? Next year’s Nobel Prize in dicine might just be mine for the taking! Tonight is the perfect opportunity I’ve prepared for myself!
At that mont, a young doctor nad Xian Chen squeezed forward, excitedly asking Si Mingjing, "Miss Si, are you sure you’re not just talking big?"
Si Mingjing’s face didn’t show the arrogance she deliberately put on when facing the Song family. Instead, she was calm and cautious, yet her voice was firm as she stated, "Yes, I can cure it."
Xian Chen then asked, "Miss Si, what is your approach to treatnt? Are you going to use a simple and crude punch again?"
Upon hearing this, everyone burst into laughter.
If cancer could be cured with a punch, Si Mingjing wouldn’t be a doctor but a charlatan.
Si Mingjing rely smiled. "Of course not. However, treating cancer isn’t actually that difficult. Once the breakthrough is found, cancer isn’t as terrifying as people imagine."
Academician Li from the Traditional dicine Research Institute scoffed, "Ignorant girl, such shaless boasting!"
Si Mingjing wasn’t annoyed, rely countering, "Academician Li, do you think smallpox is difficult to treat?"
Academician Li answered, "Of course not. What era are we in? The World Health Organization long ago declared that humanity has eradicated smallpox."
Si Mingjing said, "That’s precisely my point. Smallpox isn’t difficult to cure. However, before Edward Jenner discovered cowpox, historians claid that smallpox, not firearms, was responsible for the greatest genocide in human history."
Academician Li scoffed, "Pure sophistry."
Si Mingjing continued, "Then let ask you, are bacterial infections difficult to treat?"
This ti, before Academician Li could respond, Xian Chen scoffed, "A problem solvable with a single dose of antibiotics—what’s so difficult about that?"
