In an instant, countless tentacles outside the mouth surged forward, ready to act against Lynn. But they quickly stopped.
Lynn was holding the severed tentacle, pressing it into a wooden basin. With a serious expression, he poured bottle after bottle of medicine into the basin, then took out a syringe, making a creaking sound as he injected the medicine into the tentacle.
The tentacles stood frozen in place, holding the eyeball and curiously watching.
A few minutes later...
"Light!" Lynn grabbed the tentacle filled with medicine and shouted.
Lynn had fully entered his work mode!
The tentacle holding the eyeball trembled, quickly directing its beam of light onto the blood-gushing molar.
Lynn jumped up, aiming the syringe-filled tentacle at the hole with a serious expression. Then, with force, he inserted it.
"Ah—!"
A pained cry from the strange infant-headed creature.
It went in! But it was obvious the tentacle was too large for the narrow hole. To force it in deeper, Lynn had no choice but to use strong tools.
In the next moment, Lynn quickly jumped off and ran back to his shop.
A few minutes later, Lynn returned with a large number of tools and quickly climbed back into the creature's mouth.
"What are you going to do?" The eyeball trembled slightly.
Lynn's expression was indifferent. He held a hammer in one hand and a steel rod in the other, adjusting his single-lens glasses.
Next moment, Lynn forcefully inserted the steel rod into the tentacle pressed against the hole.
The baby-headed creature: "(ΩДΩ)!!"
Soon, the sound of heavy metal hitting filled the air.
Lynn (艹皿艹) wielded a giant hammer, pounding on the steel rod, driving the tentacle deeper into the tooth hole with each strike.
Bang!
"Ah—!"
Bang!
"Ah—!"
Sparks flew, and lightning flashed as Lynn used all his strength, swinging the hammer, forcing the tentacle into the deepest part of the hole.
The tentacles and the eyeball surrounding them curled up in fear, watching Lynn work.
"Pain—pain—pain—!"
The baby-headed creature began to shake violently, clearly feeling the tearing pain from the repeated impacts.
"This is a normal reaction! Hang in there! Once it's all the way in, it won't hurt anymore! Trust my professional skills!" Lynn shouted.

After pounding for over a hundred times, the tentacle injected with medicine was finally hammered into the tooth hole.
"No more pain—!"
The eyeball appeared stunned.
Lynn wiped the sweat from his brow, smiling faintly, holding the steel rod, and said, "Of course, the medicine has started to take effect. But this is just the beginning. To have a healthy tooth, we need to proceed with further work."
【？？？ Your trust level +20】
The eyeball nodded vigorously, indicating trust. "Mm—mm—"
Clearly, after Lynn's efforts, the creature had gained some trust in him.
Lynn checked the time.
About five minutes passed.
"Okay! We can start working now!" Lynn raised his head, looking serious. He picked up his master's electric drill and gave it a forceful pull.
Screech!
Sparks flew.
"Protective glasses!"
The surrounding tentacles quickly handed Lynn a pair of protective glasses.
"Light!"
The tentacles held up the eyeball, directing the beam toward the spot Lynn was working on.
Lynn spat on his hands and, with determination, took the electric drill and began drilling into the molar.
"Your tooth's interior has been eroded by holy power, and that's the main reason for your pain. If we don't remove all the holy substance inside, you'll still be in pain once the medication wears off."
"Therefore, we need to clean your tooth first, then give you a solid new tooth!"
"Ah, so that's how it is—"
【？？？ Your trust level +20】
The eyeball curiously held the light, silently observing Lynn's work.
Whir—
Lynn used the drill to meticulously remove the glowing material inside the tooth.
"Get the bucket!" Lynn shouted.
A tentacle quickly shot into the shop, wrapping around a wooden bucket and delivering it.
Lynn, serious, quickly dumped the tooth powder into the bucket.
"Get the water!" Lynn shouted again.
Another tentacle quickly brought in a large water jug.
Lynn cleaned off the powder surrounding the tooth.
His expression grew serious.
"What else do you need?"
As if sensing Lynn's confusion, the delicate, eerie voice asked.
Lynn replied, "I need some filling material, but I'm running low on stock. Otherwise, I could give you a shiny steel tooth!"
"Steel?"
Lynn thought for a moment, "Yes, but to restock, it would take until tomorrow. At this hour..."
"I—have—steel—"
Lynn was stunned.
Before he could think more, he felt the ground tremble, and saw the buildings outside quickly retreating.
Clearly, the enormous head was moving rapidly.
Moments later, they stopped in front of a massive iron structure.
Before Lynn could react, the creature's tongue shot out like a blade.
Pssh—
The entire building was sliced in half.
【Steel Puppet】
【Level: ???】
【Race】: Puppet
【Attributes】: Chaotic Evil
【Battle Ability】: Extremely Strong!
【Description】: A steel puppet from the dark world, these indestructible beings became the nightmare of dark world inhabitants once they gained consciousness.
Lynn: "!!!"
He had seen this kind of monster before. A similar puppet had once invaded his shop, causing destruction. His teacher had fought it for over ten hours with a chainsaw before finally pushing it back.
It had brought him here... and now...
Bang!
With a loud crash, one of the steel puppets inside the metal building was crushed flat into a steel pancake by the creature's tongue before it could even react.
Lynn was dumbfounded.
This was absurd! Both of them were at level ???, but the difference in strength was enormous!
"Is one—enough?"
The baby-like voice asked.
"Uh..."
Bang!
Another steel puppet was flattened.
"How about two?"
"Uh..."
Bang bang bang!
"Enough! Enough! One is already enough!" Lynn shouted, panic evident in his voice.
"......"
After several hours of melting, forging, and molding, thanks to the creature's strong tongue, Lynn had managed to craft a steel tooth based on the shape of the missing part.
Then, using powerful adhesive, he precisely welded the steel tooth onto the molar.
After further polishing, a brand new tooth was born from Lynn's meticulous work.
"Perfect!" Lynn wiped the sweat from his brow and smiled with satisfaction, feeling a sense of personal achievement.
