Lynn spoke (calmly): "It’s a small business, I don’t accept flesh payment. Don’t worry, I only need your right eye. If you make money in the future, you can come back and buy it back from me."

The girl (o(╥﹏╥)o) replied, "Alright... okay... sniff...!"

...

A few minutes later.

【Ding! You have obtained a rare item: Right Eye of the Blood Doll x1】

【Right Eye of the Blood Doll: After carrying, hunger +10, can use skill: Invincible Stomach.】

【Ding! You have completed the task and earned the following rewards: 50 Skeleton Coins, 50 Surgery Ability Experience, Special Reward: Blood Doll's Fear +30, Blood Doll's Doll Fear +50】

Lynn calmly washed the blood from his hands.

Then he placed the eyeball into a special solution bottle and labeled it.

He then turned around, looking at the girl who was holding her eye (o(x﹏╥)o) with one hand, and politely said: "Welcome to visit again, the Blood Saw Pharmacy sincerely serves you."

Lynn bowed.

The girl (o(x﹏╥)o) walked out, clutching her doll, and her voice could be heard from a distance.

"I should hurry and find my mom, I’m never coming back... sniff... black market..."

【Ding! You triggered a hidden task: Help the Blood Doll find her mother. Task Completion Reward: Blood Doll's Favorability +200, Blood Doll's Doll Favorability +100, Special Reward x1】

【Current task completion: 2】

Lynn was stunned.

Looking out the door, the girl’s figure had already disappeared into the darkness.

Completion 2?

Lynn’s gaze then landed on the dish on the counter, filled with organs taken from the girl’s stomach.

【Unknown Woman's Hair x50】

【Unknown Woman's Ears x2】

【Unknown Woman's Comb x1】

Lynn: "…"

He couldn't help but form a horrifying guess.

Lynn stood up, cleaned the parts, placed them into bottles, and sealed them, preparing to discuss this with the girl when she returned next time.

He opened his panel.

From the previous rewards, he had gained 50 surgery ability experience and an additional 50 Skeleton Coins.

The customer’s money was for the shop, so he couldn’t touch it.

The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.

Now, his total property was 150 Skeleton Coins.

Skeleton Coins were the basic currency in this world, used as a general equivalent. But since Lynn hadn’t stepped outside the shop in two years, he hadn’t had the chance to spend them.

But more money never hurt.

Time passed quickly.

Lynn closed his eyes, holding a bone-slicing knife, motionless, like a statue.

The soul lamp at the door represented a rule—it told wandering souls in the dark that this place had an owner, and any malicious actions would come with consequences.

Most wandering monsters wouldn’t invade when the soul lamp was lit.

Because within the lamp’s protection, the owner could suppress any invading evil spirits at any time.

But this didn’t rule out some extremely evil spirits who had no fear.

For them, no rule in this world was worth following.

Knock knock knock—

At that moment, there was a knock at the door again.

"Welcome."

Lynn opened his eyes.

Instantly, Lynn saw a hulking, pig-headed creature standing at the door. One of its eyes was bloodshot and empty, with no eyeball. It wore a bloody apron and held a large butcher's knife, seemingly freshly used.

A panel instantly appeared in front of Lynn.

【Pig-headed Demon】

【Level】21

【Race】Mutated Monster

【Alignment】Lawful Evil

【Combat Ability】As long as you’re willing to be eaten...

【Description】Owner of the pig meat shop in Soul Alley, your “friendly” neighbor, and he is very happy to share the prey he just butchered, or perhaps share you...

【Lynn's Sanity -5】

"Damn it," the pig-headed demon cursed, covering his empty eye socket, saying, "I lost an eye just because I didn’t give useless junk to that old woman. Next time I see her, I’ll—I'll... eh!" He spat out a foul-smelling phlegm, continuing to curse.

Lynn’s mind immediately received a system prompt.

【Ding! Pig-headed Demon Task: Help him match a suitable eyeball. Task rewards: 50 Skeleton Coins, Surgery Ability Experience +50, Pig-headed Demon Favorability +20, Special Reward +1】

"Come in."

Lynn remained calm, sitting at the counter, silently gripping the bone-slicing knife.

The pig-headed demon stomped inside, the soul lamp flickering with energy.

A strong stench of blood filled the air, making Lynn feel a strong urge to vomit.

The pig-headed demon plopped down onto the stool in front of the counter. Its remaining sharp pig eye glared at Lynn, scanning around, and said, "Where’s Blood Saw? Tell him to come out and swap my eyeball. I’ve got some fine prey to trade!"

Lynn remained composed and quietly replied, "My teacher is out. If you have anything, you can talk to me."

The pig-headed demon paused for a moment, then turned its head, squinting its remaining eyeball. Its gaze settled on Lynn, like it was eyeing a piece of meat.

"Oh?"

【Ding! Crisis increased to 89】

Lynn’s heart raced, but he kept his expression neutral.

His decision was right, though. If he tried to deceive the pig-headed demon by claiming his teacher was in the back, it would surely sense something was off and attack immediately. But being straightforward would make the demon hesitate.

"What kind of eyeball do you need?" Lynn turned around and calmly pointed to the jars on the counter containing various eyeballs in solution.

"We have human eyes, pig eyes, necrotic eyes, bat eyes, blood doll eyes—take your pick. Different eyes have different prices."

The pig-headed demon’s eyes glinted with malice as it revealed a full set of fangs, and a strong odor of decay filled the air.

"I think your eyeball might do just fine."

It extended its tongue, licking its cracked lips.

【Lynn’s Sanity -10】

【Ding! Crisis increased to 91】

Lynn knew that if he showed any weakness now, the pig-headed demon would strike without hesitation.

"Mine?"

Lynn turned his head and calmly looked at him.

Then, under the demon’s intense gaze, Lynn slowly extended three fingers, placing them into his own eye socket, and began to carefully remove his right eye.

Screech—screech—

【Ding! Host Life Lost!】

【Ding! Host Organ Missing!】

A few seconds later, Lynn held his eyeball in the palm of his hand and presented it to the demon.

【Pig-headed Demon’s Sanity -20!】

Yet, the demon’s expression remained unchanged.

"200 Skeleton Coins per eye. No refunds if it doesn’t match."

The pig-headed demon froze.

He never expected this seemingly weak human to be so ruthless, calmly removing his own eye right in front of him.

When his own eye had been taken by the scavenger, he had screamed in pain for a long time.

Yet, this human remained calm.

【Ding! Crisis decreased to 50】
