“Doctor—amazing—”
The huge baby head emitted a delicate voice.
The two enormous eyeballs focused on Lynn.
“I—won’t eat you—anymore—”
【??? Trust +40】
Lynn adjusted his monocle and gave a standard 90-degree bow, revealing a professional, bright smile.
“The praise from our customers is always the solid force that drives us forward. May I ask if you'd like to experience our store's newly launched dental care service?”
Lynn winked.
Finally, a super monster with positive feelings toward him!
If he didn’t quickly make it a regular, wasn’t he the one with a problem?
“Dental—care service?”
The monster asked curiously.
Lynn smiled, “Yes, our store offers long-term dental care services. We can clear any oral diseases, and keep your teeth clean and healthy to prevent toothaches, ulcers, tooth loss, and other abnormal symptoms.”
“Eh—”
Lynn continued seriously, “How about trying it out first? If you're satisfied after the experience, you can decide whether to become our long-term member?”
The huge baby head seemed to think for a moment.
Then Lynn got the affirmative reply.
【Ding! New task triggered: Help ??? care for their teeth. Task reward: 50 Skeleton Coins, ??? Trust +50】
(?＞︶＜)?
Yes!
This was exactly the effect he wanted!
When traveling in other worlds, more friends mean more options!
If he didn’t build a good relationship with a monster of this level, that would really be a huge mistake.
“Wait!”
Without further ado, Lynn quickly ran back to his shop, grabbed various cleaning tools he used for housework, and hurried back into the monster’s mouth to clean out the remnants of broken limbs and arms stuck between its teeth.
【Ding! You obtained unknown creature’s severed limbs x15】
【Ding! You obtained strange organs x54】
【Ding! You obtained broken skulls x31】
【Ding! You obtained gold x132g】
【Ding! You obtained fine-grade enchanted armor (damaged) x1】
The more Lynn cleaned, the more shocked he became.
It was practically a treasure trove in here!
After clearing out all the limbs and severed parts in the monster’s mouth,
Lynn rushed back to his shop’s warehouse and quickly brought out barrels of materials. He mixed them in the center of the hall.
“What’s this?” the eye radiated curiosity.
Lynn mixed the slime with a stick, explaining,
“Dark slime can generate a lot of foam, and with the antibacterial and refreshing soap root, combined with my teacher’s special whitening ointment, it’ll keep your teeth clean and bright for a long time, and keep your breath fresh!”
【??? Trust +20】
“Good—amazing—”
The eye nodded up and down in awe.
Although not entirely clear, it could tell it was absolutely impressive.
Soon, the “Dark World brand toothpaste” was ready.
Lynn (艹皿艹) grabbed a large brush from the backyard, took a bucket of foaming slime, and jumped back into the monster's mouth to begin the diligent brushing task.
“I can—help—”
The eye curiously watched Lynn working, and seemed eager to try.
This was incredibly new and fascinating.
“Here.”
Lynn generously handed out a large batch of small brushes.
The tentacles immediately took one brush each, curious, dipping them into the slime, and started brushing while glancing at the eye to mimic Lynn's motions.
“First, brush like this, then like this, and then like this!”

“Oh oh—”
【??? Trust +10】
“Make sure to clean the dirt in between the teeth, to prevent infections!”
“Oh oh—”
【??? Trust +10】
After an hour of cleaning,
【Ding! Task completed, you earned 50 Skeleton Coins, ??? Trust +50】
Hearing the system prompt, Lynn wiped his sweat off and sat on the steps, smiling with satisfaction from the laborious task.
“Doesn’t it feel like your teeth are completely renewed compared to before?”
Ding—
The shiny, white teeth reflected a dazzling gleam.
“Mm—”
The eye gleamed with a (?w?) expression, clearly impressed.
The once blood-stained yellow teeth had completely transformed into a bright, sparkling smile, as clean as if just born!
With such shiny teeth, everything you chew becomes more appetizing!
“Are you satisfied with this service?”
“Yes—”
“Would you like to become a lifetime member of our store? You can come anytime for free teeth cleaning!”
“Yes—”
“May I ask your name? I’ll register you, and next time you come, you can pick up our exclusive golden membership card and a small gift.”
“What is—name?”
“It’s what other creatures call you.”
“No—name—”
“How about I give you one for free?”
“Okay—”
【Ding! You successfully gave the Source-level monster a true name: “Little One.” You have earned the exclusive achievement: Source Namemaker!】
【Source Namemaker】: As the first human in the history of the Dark World to name a Source-level monster and have it accepted, you’ve made history. The host permanently gains: Source Monster Affinity +1, Monster Affinity +10, Curse Removal Ability x1】
…
“Thank you for visiting our shop, and we look forward to your next visit!”
Lynn gave a 90-degree bow as he watched the Source-level monster happily hop away with its shiny teeth, heading toward the end of the street.
He smiled and kept waving as it left.
Then Lynn rushed into the potion store, grabbed a hammer and nails, and quickly nailed the door shut, staring at his trembling heart, pressing it down.
Only then did he finally relax.
Though the whole process looked very harmonious,
As a human, facing such a terrifying monster… to say he wasn’t scared would be a lie.
“Thank goodness my mental fortitude is solid, or I wouldn’t have made it through tonight!”
Lynn sighed and wiped his sweat.
But thankfully, with his excellent communication skills and medical expertise, he had successfully gained the Source-level monster’s favor.
Lynn knew very well,
In this dark world, Source-level monsters were like the highest-level bosses in MMORPGs.
Any one of them was not something ordinary monsters could withstand.
“And it feels like there’s not just one.”
Lynn widened his eyes, trying to calm his racing heart.
Because clearly,
The monster hunter must have been following these Source-level creatures. But since he hadn’t appeared in Soul Alley, it meant that there were other high-danger powerful monsters around the area.
And luckily, the one he encountered this time was a “friendly” Source-level monster that could communicate.
Otherwise,
Like those Steel Puppets, it would have just been crushed, and that would have been his fate.
“Indeed, having a special skill can sometimes be a life-saving tool.”
Lynn murmured.
After all, no matter where you put technical classes, they were always the most popular.
