The Barefoot Doctor's System

A barefoot doctor? No! I'm a miracle doctor with an unbeatable blend of Chinese and Western medicine! I go from being laughed at with, "What good is some folk remedy?" to earning the respect of the greatest masters of both Chinese and Western medicine.

1973, Hongqi Commune. Young intellectual Lin Jianjun is cursed as a "troublemaker" and thrown out of the delivery room. Inside, the mother is bleeding heavily, and both her and her baby's lives are at risk! Just as all hope seems lost, a voice booms in his mind: [Ding! Emergency mission: Unlock "Hemorrhage Control with Bloodletting Acupuncture"! Reward for success: 10 doses of penicillin!]

One moment he's a scruffy young punk everyone despises; the next, his silver needles fall and the bleeding stops at once! Weeds become miracle medicine, and life-saving remedies are always at his fingertips! Zhao Defa, the commune director who'd been making life difficult for him, nearly gapes his eyes out of their sockets!

Bound to the Chinese-Western Medicine System, Lin Jianjun treats all kinds of "incurable diseases" and "refusals to comply":

A miner's lungs are poisoned, and his body has swollen up like a purple eggplant? [Unlock "Mountain No. 7 Antidote"], and a poultice of herbs makes the swelling go down and the man wake up!

A child has a high fever and convulsions, his life hanging by a thread? [Activate "Fever Reduction Through Auricular Acupressure"], and three fingers pressing the right spots bring down the fever faster than an injection!

A bizarre "miasma illness" that leaves even provincial experts shaking their heads? He leads a team into a forbidden zone. The moment they get their hands on a mysterious glowing mineral, the System panel erupts into garbled text: [Warning! Residual spacetime signal from the 1950s detected... Distress call from a lifeform detected!]

This mineral holds a startling secret! It can not only stabilize the System, but also links to a mysterious medical team that vanished without a trace! Meanwhile, the greedy eyes of Zhao Defa and his nephew are fixed on it, and a foreign force is quietly infiltrating the mountains... Even the county hospital director comes to his door with a classified file: "Your father, back then... was he..."

From a barefoot doctor carrying a battered medicine case to establishing the province's first model cooperative medical program;
