The First Member of Bloodsaw Potion Shop

"Doctor—impressive—"

The immense baby head issued a delicate voice. Those two colossal eyes focused on Lynne.

"I—won't eat you anymore—"

[??? Trust in you +40]

Lynne adjusted his monocle, bowed a standard ninety degrees, and displayed a professionally radiant smile.

"The praise from our customers is always our solid motivation to move forward. Would you like to try our shop's newly introduced dental care services?"

Lynne blinked. This super monster that he finally encountered had a favorable impression of him. If he didn't promptly cling to it and make it a returning customer, wouldn't he be out of his mind?

"Health—services?"

The monster conveyed a curious voice.

Lynne, with a smile, responded, "Yes, our shop can provide you with long-term dental care, rid you of any oral ailments, and maintain the cleanliness and health of your teeth, preventing toothache, mouth ulcers, tooth loss, and other abnormal symptoms."

"Eh—"

Lynne seriously said, "Why don't you try it first? If you are satisfied after trying, you can then decide whether you want to become our long-term member?"

The gigantic baby head seemed to ponder. Then Lynne received an affirmative response.

[Ding! You've triggered a new task: Help ??? with dental care, Task reward: 50 skull coins, ???'s favorability towards you +50]

(＞︶＜)?

Correct! This is the effect he wanted!

When roaming in other worlds, the more friends, the more roads! If he didn't foster a good relationship with a monster of this level, he would truly be brain-damaged.

"Just a moment!"

Without another word, Lynne dashed back into the shop, pulled out various cleaning tools he normally used for housework, and then rushed back into the monster's mouth, beginning to clear out all sorts of limbs and appendages from between its teeth.

[Ding! You have acquired an unidentified creature's limb x15]

[Ding! You have acquired peculiar innards x54]

[Ding! You have acquired a shattered skull x31]

[Ding! You have acquired gold x132g]

[Ding! You have acquired Superior Enchanted Armor (Damaged) x1]

The more Lynne cleaned, the more astonished he became. For this place was veritably a trove of treasures!

After purging the diverse limbs and fragments from the monster's mouth, under the curious gaze of that eye, Lynne hastily dashed to the shop's storeroom and brought back bucket after bucket of materials, quickly mixing them in the center of the hall.

"What—this?" The eyeball radiated a curious light.

Stirring the slime in the big barrel rapidly with a stick, Lynne explained,

"It's the slime of a Dark Slime, capable of producing abundant foam, combined with soapnuts that have antibacterial and refreshing properties. Additionally, a special potion made by my master is added for wound cleaning and whitening. It can maintain the long-lasting brightness of your teeth and freshen your breath!"

[??? Trust in you +20]

"Soo—impressive—"

The eyeball bobbed in stunned agreement. It wasn't entirely understood, but it was definitely impressive. Soon, the "Dark World Brand Toothpaste" was ready.

Lynne (艹皿艹) fetched a large brush from the backyard, holding the bucket filled with bubbling slime, and jumped into the monster's mouth, embarking on his diligent tooth brushing work.

"Can I—help—"

The eyeball, watching Lynne's brushing work with curiosity, seemed somewhat eager to try. This was indeed very novel.

"Here."

Lynne generously brought out a heap of small brushes from the shop. The tentacles immediately imitated Lynne, each one holding a brush, curiously dipping in the slime, brushing, and turning the eyeball to watch, mimicking Lynne's movements.

"Brush like this first, then like this, and then like this!"

"Oh—"

[??? Trust in you +10]

"You also need to clean the dirt between the teeth, to prevent infections!"

"Ooo—"

[??? Trust in you +10]

Lynne continued cleaning for a whole hour.

[Ding! You have completed the task, and you have received 50 skull coins, ??? Favorability towards you +50]

Hearing the system prompt, Lynne, sweating profusely, put down his brush, and sat on the steps, his face revealing a satisfied smile after labor.

"Doesn't it feel completely renewed compared to before?"

Ding—

The shining and white teeth reflected a dazzling luster.

"Hmm—"

The eyeball revealed a (✪ω✪) sparkling expression.

It was utterly transformed from the bloody, yellow-toothed appearance it had before! It was so clean; it practically shimmered like it was freshly born! Having such gleaming teeth indeed makes anything one chew seem appetizing!

"Are you satisfied with the service?"

"Yes—"

"Do you want to become a lifelong member of this shop? You can come here for a free dental cleaning anytime."

"Want—"

"What is your name? So, I can register it. When you come next time, you can receive a golden membership card and a small gift specially made for you."

"What is—name?"

"It's how other beings refer to you."

"Don't have—name—"

"Do you want me to give you one for free?"

"Okay—"

[Ding! You have successfully named an Origin-level monster "Little." You have achieved an exclusive achievement: Origin Namer!]

[Origin Namer: As the first human in the Dark World's history to name an ??? Origin-level monster, and being readily accepted by it, you have made history. Host permanently obtains: +1 Origin level Monster Affinity, +10 Monster Affinity, x1 Temporary Curse Removal ability.]

...

"Thank you for visiting the shop, and we look forward to your next visit."

Lynne bowed a standard ninety degrees to the Origin-level monster who, bouncing happily and showing its gleaming teeth, was heading towards the end of the street.

As he kept smiling until the ultimate monster left, Lynne immediately dashed into the potion shop, grabbed a hammer and nails, and quickly nailed the door shut, eyes wide, pressing his pounding heart. Only then did he completely relax.

Although the process seemed very harmonious, as a human, facing such a terrifying monster, it would be a lie to say he wasn't afraid.

"Thankfully, I have a strong mentality; otherwise, I couldn't possibly have survived tonight!"

Lynne let out a sigh and wiped the sweat from his forehead. But it was alright. He had won the favor of the Origin-level monster through his remarkable eloquence and medical expertise.

Lynne was very clear, in this Dark World, Origin-level monsters were akin to the max-level bosses in online games. Any one of them wasn't something ordinary monsters could contend with.

"And I have a feeling it's not just one."

Lynne widened his eyes, trying to calm his heartbeat. It was clear the demon hunter must have come following these Origin-level monsters, but he never appeared in Wandering Soul Lane, which meant there were definitely other high-risk powerful monsters in the surrounding areas here.

Fortunately, this time, he encountered a "kind" Origin monster that could communicate. Otherwise, being squashed like those steel puppets would have been his fate.

"Indeed, sometimes being skilled can serve as a means to save one's life," Lynne murmured. After all, technicians are always the most popular wherever they are placed.
