440: Is acupuncture ineffective for foreigners?

This had even more epoch-making significance than the Thirteen Needles of the Ghost Gate that Su Yu had previously demonstrated himself.

After all, his act of saving people with needles had already shattered the long-standing claim that cancer was incurable.

If the Mechanical Arm paired with the Lackey could also accomplish the same thing, then it could immediately be announced that cancer would no longer be an incurable terminal illness from now on.

Perhaps it would become a minor ailment just like the common cold or flu.

One was small-scale, individual independent treatment, while the other was large-scale, widespread mass treatment.

The magnitude of the two was not even on the same dimension.

Therefore, the influence was naturally worlds apart.

"Hey, do you guys think Brother Su's treatment this time is reliable? Can that Little Sun really recover?"

"You ask me, how would I know? I only know that Brother Su already has a precedent of curing cancer patients. If there is anyone in this world who can accomplish this feat, I'm afraid only he can do it."

"But this time is different from before! Brother Su didn't do it himself; the Mechanical Arm was operating the whole time. Plus, looking at that twitchy behavior the Mechanical Arm had earlier, heaven knows if it's reliable."

"But I feel like this guy from Japan might not have fully recovered. Compared to the Middle-aged Uncle who was full of vigor after completing the treatment, why did he just pass out?"

"Now that you mention it, that's true. Both received Acupuncture treatment, yet the final results presented are completely different."

In the Live Broadcast Room, the audience couldn't help but start discussing.

It wasn't that they didn't trust Su Yu, but the gap between the results of the two treatments was simply too large, making it hard not to be suspicious.

In fact, even Vice President Zhong felt uneasy after taking over the unconscious Nakamura Taro.

But since a global live broadcast was currently underway, if he raised questions on the spot, wouldn't that just make things more difficult for Su Yu?

Therefore, he could only suppress his doubts and follow Su Yu's instructions.

Soon, half an hour later.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, a doctor in a white coat holding the final screening results slowly came in front of the camera.

Vice President Zhong looked at the person expectantly.

"How is it? How is the treatment progress for Mr. Nakamura Taro? Have the cancer cells all been converted into White blood cells?"

This was also what all the doctors at the scene and the audience in the Live Broadcast Room were looking forward to most.

Su Yu also tightened his fists slightly.

Regardless of the outcome, he could only say he had truly tried his best. Performing an Acupuncture surgery of this difficulty level without being able to see the Meridians was no different from opening a blind box and gambling on luck.

It was already very lucky that he hadn't needled Nakamura Taro to death directly.

But in the end, Su Yu still hoped deep down that the experiment would be successful. Because if it were, he wouldn't have to take action in the future.

The Lackey and the Mechanical Hand could also complete many things on his behalf, becoming truly top-tier global technology.

Looking at Vice President Zhong's concerned gaze, the reporting doctor swallowed hard, his voice dry.

"Vice President Zhong, Mr. Su. This treatment has failed."

Boom!

As the words fell, it was like a heavy hammer smashing into everyone's hearts.

The excited expressions of the audience in the Live Broadcast Room came to an abrupt halt, the faces of the doctors at the scene changed drastically, and the last remaining fantasy in Su Yu's heart was completely shattered.

Failed, it really failed after all!

Although he had mentally prepared himself in advance, when this news was announced, Su Yu still felt a sense of absurdity.

What on earth was going on?

Failing twice in a row at the hands of the same person—this was unprecedented!

He wasn't worried about how this treatment failure would affect his reputation; he was just very puzzled as to which rock this guy had popped out from.

How could even the methods taught by the system be helpless against him?

Nakamura Taro, Nakamura Taro, a person from Japan...

What exactly was the reason for such a result?

No one noticed that when the examining doctor announced the final result, a long-awaited smile finally appeared on Zuckerberg's face in the conference room.

As he had expected, this person from China did not cure Nakamura Taro's cancer.

Since that was the case, he could rest easy.

"Let's go. The show is over, and there's no point in staying here anymore. Let's go home."

Taking advantage of the chaos and the crowded scene, Zuckerberg stood up, took his assistant, turned around, and left, soon disappearing into the noisy conference room.

...

In the hospital examination room.

Lying on the hospital bed, Nakamura Taro closed his eyes quietly, as if everything happening in the outside world had nothing to do with him.

Suddenly, a pair of hands pushed open the door of the examination room, and then a doctor in a white coat pushed his mobile hospital bed out of the treatment room, not knowing where they went.

...

At this moment, in the Live Broadcast Room.

Facing the overwhelming sounds of doubt, ridicule, and various voices of incomprehension, even Su Yu, who had seen countless storms, was finding it a bit hard to handle.

The failure of the Mechanical Arm and the Lackey had plunged him into a situation he had never experienced before.

Although a large portion of the audience both at home and abroad still stood firmly on his side, choosing to believe in him unconditionally, the situation had already begun to polarize.

Especially those Little Anti-fans, who, having finally found such an opportunity, all jumped out one by one, demanding that Su Yu give everyone a reasonable explanation.

Watching the abuse and questions scrolling continuously, Vice President Zhong couldn't help but speak up.

"Acupuncture therapy has been verified to indeed have a very good therapeutic effect on cancer; this is a fact that has already been placed before everyone's eyes."

"As for why it was ineffective on Nakamura Taro, we actually have no need to look for the cause in Mr. Su. More so, I think we should look for the problem in the patient himself."

"If you have conducted experiments, you should know that comparisons must use the same variables. Nakamura Taro and the patient from China are similar in age, and the severity of their illness is almost the same. The only variable is that they come from different countries."

"Perhaps, because the art of Acupuncture has been passed down within China, only people from China have a special resonance, allowing them to control the condition through this treatment method. And it turns out to be ineffective for foreigners?"

At first glance, this statement seemed to have a tone of sowing discord, but upon serious reflection, many people still found that it seemed to really make sense.

The treatment is effective for people from China, but ineffective for foreigners.

Otherwise, how else should one explain why Su Yu hesitated to take action when facing Nakamura Taro?

Why was there such a huge difference in the states of the two people after the treatment was completed?

And finally, why didn't even a small amount of symptoms alleviate, but instead, he directly fell into a coma and became unconscious?

All of this should seemingly be explored by looking at the patient who suddenly visited.
