A few minutes later.
The fairy Yueyue stood up dazedly, letting Lynn put a helmet on her like a doll, hang a bag on her, and even pack those strange tissues chopped off from her body into a bundle to carry on her back.
He said it could serve as a souvenir.
"A perfect treatment session." Lynn gave her a thumbs up, smiling:
"If you found this treatment satisfactory, feel free to give our shop a like. Next time you come, we can offer you an 11% discount."
Fairy Yueyue quickly o(╥﹏╥)o hugged her helmet, saying:
"Th-thank you, boss... sob sob, may I leave now?"
Lynn's eyes immediately scanned her up and down, his eyebrows slightly raised as he spun the Boning Knife in his hand, pondering:
"Something seems off. I remember when I applied the medicine for the last time, you didn't grow any strange things on your body..."
Lynn's gaze was hesitant."So I'm not entirely sure if there might be other mutated areas on you."
[Black Moth Fairy SAN -10]
Fairy Yueyue (ŎдŎ；): "No way?"
Lynn asked doubtfully: "Do you feel anything unusual anywhere on your body? If you do, it's best to mention it now."
Yueyue hugged her helmet blankly.
"I don't think there's anything unusual."
Curiously, she put down her bundle and jumped up and down a few times.
Her body weight felt exactly the same as before.
If there really were any strange tissues growing, she would definitely notice them easily.
"Nothing strange." She puffed out her chest curiously.
Lynn breathed a sigh of relief, smiling: "That's good then. So it seems this potion doesn't cause mutations every time it's used—it definitely has its merits. Thank you very much for your cooperation and participation in the experiment, hehehe—"
"..."
Then, under Lynn's relieved waving hand.
The little fairy hugged her head dejectedly, fluttering her wings up and down as she disappeared into the black mist.
Lynn felt extremely relieved.
He breathed a sigh of relief.
Lynn (*￣︶￣) strode back to the operating room, planning to tidy up properly.
Who knew when he would encounter such an excellent customer again.
But just at that moment.
Clatter—
The sound of metal clashing came from beneath his feet.
Lynn's ears immediately perked up.
The next moment.
Lynn saw the bulging pouch on the ground, and his expression instantly froze.
"Wait, this seems like..."
He instinctively reached out and opened the pouch.
Instantly.
The pouch full of Black Skull Coins appeared before Lynn's eyes, almost blinding him.
Lynn was instantly shocked.
Wait!
Something's wrong!
Why is that little fairy's money pouch here?!
Didn't he clearly see her chest bulging and swollen earlier, almost bursting through her clothes? He thought she had stuffed the money pouch back in.
But!
If the money pouch wasn't stuffed in there, then what was she carrying on her chest now...
"Could it be that the fake ones turned real?!"
Lynn's mind went completely blank.
He quickly grabbed the money pouch and rushed outside at an incredible speed, but the Black Moth Fairy was long gone from sight.
Lynn's mind instantly conjured the terrifying scene of that little fairy trying to take out money next time...
Only to pull out the real thing!
Lynn (；д；).
If that were really the case.
Then he hoped she would realize it quickly and come back immediately. While the shape hasn't set yet, it's still possible to press them back down!
...
Holding the money pouch.
Lynn continued sitting at the counter, dozing off while waiting for new customers.
But for some reason, business wasn't very good today.
Apart from that out-of-town Black Moth Fairy, there were only a few scattered customers who came to spend.
In this tedious boredom.
Time once again reached evening.
"Has teacher not returned yet?" Lynn glanced at the black mist outside the door, his expression doubtful.
Because today was already the third day.
Even if his teacher was really delayed by something, there should have been some news by now.
Lynn paced back and forth in the hall.
Although his teacher wasn't human.
And usually spoke to him coldly, without his teacher's care over these past two years, it would have been impossible for a mere human like him to survive in this dark world until now.
Not to mention, without his teacher's personal instruction and example.
He wouldn't have been able to master so many medical and alchemy techniques.
"I hope teacher can return by tomorrow morning."
Lynn looked worriedly at the black mist outside the door.
He took down the nearly extinguished Soul Lamp from the pillar, preparing to close up shop.
But just at that moment.
Suddenly.
His pupils sharply dilated, and his face instantly showed a pained expression as he violently coughed up a pool of foul, crimson blood.
Then, under his watchful eyes, that pool of blood began to struggle and crawl.
Right before him on the ground, it twisted into several ferocious bloody characters.
[Danger! Leave! Now!]
Whoosh—
Those six crimson blood characters lasted only a few seconds before immediately emitting green smoke and vanishing from the spot.
Almost simultaneously, a system prompt sounded in his ears.
[Ding! You have successfully triggered the mission: Blood Night.]
[Mission Introduction: Do everything possible to survive until dawn the next day]
[Mission Reward: 2000 Skeleton Coins, 2000 experience, special reward x1, special achievement x1]
Lynn's pupils instantly contracted.
He quickly crouched down, frowning as he examined the spot where the blood had disappeared.
"Teacher?!"
He immediately recognized the handwriting of those six blood characters.
His teacher had used some kind of spell to specially send him a warning?!
What exactly was happening?!
Lynn sharply looked up, frowning deeply as he gazed into the depths of the black mist outside.
Moreover, along with his teacher's warning came the system-triggered mission. Compared to the previous two survival missions, the rewards for this one were several times better.
Even more generous than during the day of the root monster!
This was enough to indicate that the crisis this time would be extremely intense!
What exactly was it?!
Could it be that teacher encountered some danger outside, and that danger was now spreading to his Bloodsaw Potion Shop?!
Without any hesitation.
Lynn quickly composed himself and rushed back into the shop at an incredible speed.
[Flesh Proliferation Potion] [Faceless Demon Heart] [Demon Hunter Revolver] [Boning Knife] [Soul Lamp] etc.
These were the various special items he had acquired during this period.
They were also his greatest reliance now.
He didn't choose to stay.
Since his teacher had already sent a warning, that meant staying would definitely be extremely dangerous!
"I'll spend the night at the Blood-Robed Evil Spirit's place. Although I might get violated by her, it's definitely much safer than staying here!"
Lynn packed a bundle, raised his head, and quickly stepped through the door.
Whoosh—
Chilly winds blew from the depths of the black mist.
Lynn's foot, which had just stepped out, instantly froze in place.
In the depths of the black mist.
A massive silhouette slowly appeared in his field of vision.
Thump—
What followed immediately after.
Was a series of footsteps that felt like they could make your heart explode.
And for some reason, the pitch-black mist was slowly turning blood-red, with an indescribable, pungent smell of blood rolling toward him.
