[Ding! Black Moth Fairy's impression of you +50]
Lynn: “!!!”
Don't just blurt out weird things casually!
What do you mean "the man who messed with your mouth"! It obviously wasn't an impulsive move to stop you from biting people, was it?!
You talk like that casually and it leads to all kinds of misunderstandings, you know!
Lynn stared with deadpan eyes, forcing a smile that didn't reach his face:
"Don't say those useless things for now. There's one more very important step. Your entire arm is ruined. Regrowing a lost limb isn't impossible, but it depends on whether you can afford it."
The fairy named Yueyue said seriously:
"I can afford it. I carried all my clan's funds with me when I went out!"
Then, under Lynn's watchful gaze,she pushed up her oversized knight helmet, then, keeping her balance with effort, reached her tiny hand into her collar and into her chest.
Lynn's eyes widened.
What kind of move was that?!
And in the next moment, Yueyue the fairy (〃＞皿＜) pulled hard.
She plopped down onto the ground with a thunk, and a huge money pouch came flying out from her chest, spilling onto the floor with crisp clinking coins.
Lynn: "(ΩДΩ)??"
And under Lynn's stare, after that whole bag of coins escaped, the once plump chest instantly flattened.
Fake...
So fake...
"Ta-da!" The fairy named Yueyue (๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶ gave a thumbs-up and said earnestly:
"All the money is right here! The rich can just buy you up!"
She opened the mouth of the money pouch.
Inside, it was filled, one after another, with Black Skull Coins.
Lynn: "!!!"
One Black Skull Coin equals 1,000 Skeleton Coins, and judging by the pouch's volume, this fairy was carrying at least hundreds of thousands in cash!
Truly wealthy!
She closed her eyes, plunged her small hand into the pouch, pulled out a large handful of Black Skull Coins, and placed them on the operating table, saying:
"Is that enough?"
"It's enough!"
Lynn stared.
Lynn said helplessly, "Then what are you doing here?"
"Trying my luck!" Yueyue said earnestly. "I'm not terribly afraid of pain, but missing an arm is still a bother. I want to find a medical place. If possible, a strong prosthetic could work too."
Lynn looked at the Flesh Proliferation Potion in his hand.
He thought for a moment,
then smiled: "Okay. But we can treat it as a trial. My potion is very special; maybe it will have some effect. What do you think?"
"If it doesn't work, no charge!"
Since this recipe came from the System,
it should differ somewhat from the world's ordinary potions.
He had confidence in the System.
...
A few minutes later.
On the operating table,
Lynn opened the potion's cork, took out a cotton swab, and, under Yueyue's curious gaze, carefully dabbed bit by bit onto the amputation site.
It felt chilly, tingly, and a little painful.
"Will it work?" Her voice betrayed some nervousness.
If it did work, she absolutely did not want to be stuck with a single arm forever; a prosthetic would never be as dexterous as a real arm.
Lynn adjusted his monocle and said, "Wait and see. To be honest, this is the first time I’ve used this potion on a living creature. The specific outcome is still uncertain."
"Eh?!" Yueyue blinked blankly.
Seeing Lynn's serious expression, she swallowed hard and watched anxiously.
Time ticked by slowly.
A few minutes later,
Yueyue exhaled and said seriously, "It seems useless. My constitution's resistance is maxed; even restorative potions won't affect me. If it's no good, please install a suitable prosthetic for me!"
But in the next instant,
she suddenly felt faint, intermittent itching at the wound on her left arm.
She froze.
Then she immediately turned her head and looked toward her shoulder.
Her expression went from tense to astonished in a flash.
"This...this is..."
At the wound site, soft pink flesh was sprouting visibly, little by little.
Even the bone showed faint signs of growth.
"It's working?!!" she cried in shock.
This was something she had never expected.
She knew her constitution very well.
Her immunity to foreign substances had spared her many dangers but also caused endless trouble.
Where ordinary people might be healed by a single restorative potion, she would need a long time for natural recovery.
But she never imagined that this human doctor's potion would actually affect her!
"The growth rate is a bit high. Your constitution's resistance did reduce the potion's effectiveness somewhat, but not by much."
Lynn observed the slowly regrowing arm carefully,
then quickly pulled out his little notebook,
recording the potion's clinical manifestations.
Yueyue stared wide-eyed, sweat trickling down her forehead as she watched the arm grow.
"Amazing..."
"Doctor, your potion is incredible! So! So amazing!"
"No wonder you left such a deep impression on me! Truly capable!"

"Don't go getting fond of me just like that."
Lynn recorded the experimental changes solemnly and said, "Describe what you feel. I'll take notes."
Yueyue (❁´◡`❁) swung her two legs and said: Tingly, numb, painful, and not only the arm—other parts feel tingly and numb too!
Lynn recorded each sensation.
"Anything else?" Lynn adjusted his monocle.
Yueyue (❁´◡`❁) said: "It feels very nice. I feel the arm growing, and it feels like having two extra arms—so strange~~"
Lynn kept recording.
Just as he looked up to say something, his eyes suddenly widened and he froze.
"......"
Behind Yueyue's shoulder, a tentacle slowly grew out from inside the armor.
[SAN -10]
"Uh (꒪Д꒪)......"
Sss— sss—
As Lynn stood there rigidly watching,
the tentacle touched the fairy's cheek and left a wet trace of liquid on her face.
Yueyue (๑´ㅂ`๑) closed her eyes, bobbing her head around: "Yada yada! Doctor, don't lick my cheek casually. Although you are indeed impressive and left a strong impression on me, touching my body without permission is still not allowed, ta-da~"

Lynn said, "Uh...that..."
