757: Chapter 753: A New Surgery (Please Subscribe, Vote for Monthly Tickets)

Adjusting the intelligence of a creature, in ancient Chinese myths, was called a ”Fairy’s Touch,” awakening Spiritual Intelligence.

If explained from a biological perspective, it means that a creature’s brain capacity increased, the sulcus and gyri of the brain deepened, and the surface area of the cerebral cortex expanded, thus allowing the creature to have sufficient intelligence to think and become self-aware.

In the Multiverse, there is a basic criterion for classifying intelligent beings: self-awareness.

Only those creatures that can recognize their existence and are aware of themselves are acknowledged as intelligent beings by the Multiverse.

Although ordinary wild beasts can sometimes display signs of self-awareness, like recognizing themselves in a mirror, they don’t truly develop self-consciousness or a clear awareness of their own existence.

To transform an ordinary cat into an Airou Cat, it is clearly necessary to enhance the cat’s intelligence, since Airou Cats are capable of so many things, and it wouldn’t work if they weren’t smart enough.

Fortunately, Xiao Lan had already initially enlightened these Cat-People’s intelligence, making them intelligent creatures, which saved Chen Yu a lot of effort and spared him the most critical step of granting them intelligence.

Given that these cats were already intelligent beings, all Chen Yu needed to do was boost their intelligence, making them smarter.

As for increasing IQ, that was a piece of cake for Chen Yu.

If he didn’t know how to enhance the intelligence of cats, how could he have taught Audis to speak?

It wasn’t as simple as transforming Audis into a Magic pet and bestowing on it a Soul shard.

Audis’s brain structure had been rigorously adjusted by Chen Yu, ensuring that it possessed the intelligence of at least a 9-year-old primary school student.

However, for an Airou Cat, the intelligence of a 9-year-old seemed a little lacking?

Chen Yu pondered this issue, also considering exactly how to transform these Cat-People, already influenced by Xiao Lan.

Because they already possessed preliminary intelligence, capable of developing beliefs and being categorized as an intelligent species, and since they were adorable Cat-People, Chen Yu did not want to employ overly cruel methods.

Instead, he planned to induce their mutation with a Magic Ritual.

But this required meticulous planning of the Magic Ritual so that the transformed beings would match what Chen Yu hoped to achieve with the Airou Cats.

It sounded simple in theory, but in practice, it still required considerable effort and time.

At this time, Chen Yu also had to deal with the matters between Minami and Inomata Naoki, so the task of creating the Airou Cats could only be done in his spare time.

——————————————————

After completing the adjustments to the three islands, Chen Yu finally returned to his normal life and went to work himself instead of using Puppets.

However, Jounouchi Hiromi was still using Puppets, as she had to stay in the Necromantic Space to continue teaching Ni Nasu about the general knowledge of Earth.

Chen Yu had also considered lightening his wife’s burden, so he arranged a set of common knowledge about the human world through Taling, the Three Sages, and handed it over to Ni Nasu, but it was still necessary for Jounouchi Hiromi to teach some of the specific details.

There was not much Chen Yu could do about this situation, after all, Jounouchi Hiromi and Ni Nasu had signed a contract, and helping Ni Nasu travel through the human world was an obligation that Jounouchi Hiromi had to fulfill, so teaching her common knowledge naturally fell within this duty.

Of course, for Jounouchi Hiromi, this was not a loss either.

If all she had to do was teach the common knowledge of the human world to gain the obedience of a Water Elemental Lord, it was a very profitable exchange indeed.

So, even though teaching Ni Nasu was burdensome, Jounouchi Hiromi resigned herself to the task rather than leaving it entirely to Taling, the Three Sages, to instill the knowledge.

On Chen Yu’s side, because he had puppets as replacements, he did not have any backlog of work, and he only needed to complete his normal duties at work as usual.

However, since he had not been back to the office for a while, having been busy with magic-related matters in the Necromantic Space, returning to the hospital to face patients and surgeries, he still needed to adjust his state, so he scheduled a surgery for himself in the afternoon to get back into the groove.

But before the surgery even began, at lunchtime, Kohinata Kaori had already sought out Chen Yu, “Senior brother, can I assist you in this afternoon’s surgery?”

“Kaori, you?

Why on earth do you want to be my assistant?” Chen Yu looked at Kohinata Kaori, curious as to why she would suddenly make such a request.

“Of course it’s because you are so skilled in surgery, senior brother!

I want to witness it for myself!” Kohinata Kaori sat down in front of Chen Yu, coquettishly pleading with her senior brother, “Besides, the surgery is to remove a cardiac myxoma; you must be looking forward to it, right?

I want to see how you handle it.”

“If you are expecting me to be excited, that’s unlikely, I do not plan on an open-heart operation this time.” Chen Yu smiled and did not mind that Kohinata Kaori wanted to take part in his surgery; he simply explained to her, “The patient is of advanced age, and a thoracotomy is already a heavy burden; if we were to cut open the heart as well, I worry that it would be too much for the patient.”

“But if the tumor is inside the ventricle, how are you going to remove it without opening the heart?” Kohinata Kaori couldn’t quite grasp what exactly Chen Yu planned on doing.

In the cases she had studied and understood, excising a cardiac myxoma was a technically mature surgery, but this always involved opening the heart.

How was it that Chen Yu didn’t want to do so?

“You should have studied thoracoscopic and laparoscopic surgery operations, right?” Facing Kohinata Kaori’s doubt, Chen Yu suddenly asked a seemingly irrelevant question.

“Thoracoscopy and laparoscopy?

Of course, I have studied those, but what does that have to do with you not performing an open-heart surgery, senior brother?

Could it be…” Kohinata Kaori suddenly thought of a possibility, which seemed a bit far-fetched, “Senior brother, do you intend to remove the tumor through a thoracoscopic approach, without opening the ventricle?

But how will you confirm the conditions inside the patient’s heart then?

And since the heart is so small, how are you going to insert surgical instruments?

Are you going to make an incision in the heart?”

Kohinata Kaori felt her brain was not enough to figure out how Chen Yu was going to perform the surgery.

“You’ll understand how I am going to do this surgery when the time comes.

Here’s the surgical plan.

Go and get ready, Room 2 at 2:30 p.m.” After speaking, Chen Yu packed up his finished lunch box and returned to his office.
