[Ding! The Black Moth Fairy's Impression of You +50]

Lynn: "!!!"

"Don't just say strange things like that!"

What do you mean by "a man who shoves things in your mouth"? Isn't it clearly an emergency measure to stop you from randomly biting people?!

You can't just say things like that! It leads to misunderstandings!

Lynn stared blankly, forcing a smile, and said:

"Let's stop with the nonsense. There's still one more important step. Your entire arm is useless now. It's possible to regrow the limb, but it depends on whether you're willing to pay."

The fairy named Yue Yue replied seriously:

"I can pay! I brought all the clan's funds with me when I left!"

Then, under Lynn's watch, she pushed up her large knight’s helmet, balanced herself carefully, and reached down her collar to pull something out from her chest.

Lynn's eyes widened.

What is she doing?!

In the next moment, Yue Yue the fairy (〃>皿<) pulled with all her might.

Whoosh!

She plopped down on the ground, and a large money bag spilled out, making a loud clinking noise as coins scattered across the floor.

Lynn: "(ΩДΩ)??"

Under Lynn’s gaze, after the money bag had been freed, her previously full chest deflated instantly.

Fake...

"Wow!" Yue Yue the fairy gave a big thumbs-up, looking serious:

"All the money is here! I'm rich enough to buy you!"

She opened the bag, revealing it was packed with black skull coins.

Lynn: "!!!"

So, each black skull coin is worth 1,000 regular skull coins, and from the size of that bag, it looks like this fairy is carrying at least hundreds of thousands!

She really is wealthy!

Yue Yue closed her eyes and grabbed a large handful of black skull coins, placing them on the surgical table with a smile:

"Is this enough?"

"Enough!" Lynn's eyes went wide.

[Ding! The Black Moth Fairy is gullible, flexible, rich, and easy to deceive!]

She really checks all the boxes!

Lynn shook his head, discarding the impractical thoughts in his mind. He quickly turned around, grabbed a vial of [Flesh Growth Serum] from a shelf, and smiled:

"Well then, I’ll use my latest research to treat you. You get what you pay for. This is a high-level serum. One bottle costs three black skull coins. Is that acceptable?"

Finally, the serum he had prepared could be put to use.

The Black Moth Fairy paused, then shook her head and replied seriously:

"It might not work, though."

"??"

"Because my body is special. I’m fully resistant to toxins!"

She closed her eyes, raised a finger, and explained:

"That means negative toxins don't affect me! Likewise, recovery serums won't work either! It's a tough situation."

She reached into her chest and pulled out a vial of green liquid, opening it forcefully.

Whoosh!

A large skull-shaped vapor poured out of the bottle.

Lynn: "???"

Yue Yue the fairy explained seriously: "For example, this is a powerful toxin used to turn my fairy kind into monsters. I've been drinking it since I was a child, but it has no effect on me."

She raised the bottle and gulped it down in one go.

Smash!

The bottle hit the ground, the remaining liquid fizzing out in blue smoke.

Burp~~

She wiped her mouth and said seriously: "As you can see, even such a potent hallucinogenic toxin has no effect on me. If it were any other fairy, they'd be knocked out and carried away by now! But I’m still in perfect condition!"

Lynn: "…"

So, she's a walking poison factory!

Lynn sighed: "Then why are you here?"

"Taking a chance!" Yue Yue the fairy replied seriously. "I’m not too afraid of pain, but losing an arm is quite bothersome. So I came looking for a medical shop. If possible, a strong prosthetic arm would do."

Lynn looked at the serum in his hand, thought for a moment, and smiled:

"Alright, let’s give it a try. My serum is very special. Who knows, it might work. What do you think?"

"If it doesn’t work, no charge!"

Since it was a formula from the system, it had to be different from anything in this world, right? Lynn had full confidence in it.

A few minutes later, on the operating table.

Lynn opened the vial, and under Yue Yue’s curious gaze, carefully applied the serum to the stump of her arm with a cotton swab.

It felt cold, tingly, and a little painful.

"Will it work?" Her voice was filled with nervousness.

The tale has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

Because, if it worked, she’d never want to live with just one arm. Prosthetics were never as flexible as the real thing.

Lynn adjusted his glasses and said, "Let’s wait a bit. Honestly, this is the first time I’ve used this serum on a living creature, so the result is still unknown."

"Eh?!" Yue Yue was stunned.

She stared intently at Lynn, watching him work.

Time passed slowly.

A few minutes later, Yue Yue let out a deep breath and said seriously:

"It looks like it didn’t work. My body’s resistance is too strong. If it doesn’t work, please just fit me with a prosthetic arm!"

But at that moment, she felt a faint itch in the wound of her left arm.

She froze.

Then, she quickly turned to look at her shoulder.

Her expression instantly changed to one of shock.

"This... this is…"

The wound on her arm was visibly growing fresh, pink tissue. Even her bones seemed to be regenerating!

"Is it working?!!" She exclaimed in astonishment.

She never expected this.

Because she knew her own body well. Her resistance to foreign substances, while keeping her safe from many dangers, also made her life quite troublesome.

What other people could fix with a recovery serum, she had to wait weeks for her wounds to heal naturally.

But she never thought that this human doctor's serum would actually work on her!

"The regeneration speed is fast. Your body’s resistance does affect the serum, but not too much," Lynn observed carefully, watching the arm slowly regrow. He quickly took out a notebook to record the clinical effects.

Yue Yue stared wide-eyed, nervously watching her arm grow back, sweat dripping from her forehead.

"Wow... it’s incredible!"

"Doctor, your serum is amazing! So incredible!"

"You really are the kind of man who leaves a deep impression on me! So capable!"

[Ding! The Black Moth Fairy’s affection for you +50]

"Don’t get too fond of me yet," Lynn said seriously, still recording the changes. "How do you feel? Tell me so I can note it down."

Yue Yue the fairy (??′?`) swayed her legs and said: "Tingly, numb, a bit painful, and not just my arm... everything feels tingly and numb!"

Lynn wrote it all down.

"And?" Lynn adjusted his glasses.

Yue Yue the fairy (??′?`) replied: "It’s so comfortable. My arm feels like it’s growing back, but also like I have two new arms. It’s so weird~~"

Lynn kept writing.

Then, he looked up, about to speak, when his eyes went wide, and he froze.

"…"

"…"

Behind Yue Yue’s shoulder, a thick, pink, tentacle-like appendage was slowly growing out of her armor.

[Sanity -10]

"Uh… (??Д??)…"

Slurp—

Slurp—

Under Lynn's frozen gaze, the pink tentacle gently brushed against her face, leaving a trail of sticky liquid behind.

Yue Yue the fairy (??′?`) closed her eyes and shook her neck, saying:

"Yada yada! Doctor, don't just lick my face! I know you're impressive and left a deep impression on me, but it's still not okay to touch me like that~~"

[Ding! The Black Moth Fairy’s affection for you +5]

Lynn: "Uh… well…"

“Squelch—”

“Squelch—”

And then, under Lynn's gaze, the tentacle slowly entered the fairy’s helmet.

It gradually pushed its way through the seams of the helmet, making its way inside the armor.

“Yada! (≧▽≦) Don’t touch my neck, it’s so ticklish! Wait, how can you just stick it inside my clothes like that? Yada!”

[Ding! Black Moth Fairy's affection for you +10]

Lynn froze, his face completely stiff.

“Uh… I think you’d better open your eyes and take a look…”

The fairy named Yueyue blinked in confusion, then instantly saw Lynn standing two meters away, his expression completely stiff.

She froze for a moment.

“Eh?”

“Doctor, why are you standing so far away?”

Lynn stiffly replied, “I was already standing this far away.”

Yueyue paused, then immediately felt the squelching sensation on her neck.

She instinctively turned her gaze toward the side of her helmet.

“…” “…” [Sanity -30!]

[Sanity -30!]

The next moment, an explosive high-pitched scream echoed through the entire Soul Alley.

----------------------------------------

In the Operating Room.

The Black Moth Fairy screamed and rolled around on the operating table, (ΩДΩ) crying out,

“Tentacle! Why do I have a tentacle growing on me!? Help! A strange tentacle is touching me!”

“Don’t move! I’ll help you!”

Seeing this, Lynn immediately rushed forward, (〝▼皿▼) grabbing the base of the tentacle with all his strength.

“Help! It’s so slippery! It’s about to go inside!”

“Go inside?! Inside where?!”

“Anywhere there’s a hole!”

“!!!”

This is bad!

Lynn (〝▼皿▼) quickly pinned her down, grabbing the tentacle with all his strength, gritting his teeth as he struggled to pull it out from her helmet.

Squelch squelch—

The tentacle kept wriggling in Lynn's hands, flinging gooey liquid everywhere.

The fairy’s sanity plummeted, and she trembled, holding onto her helmet, staring at the still-wriggling tentacle, screaming in panic:

“It’s growing from me! It’s coming from my shoulder!”

“Hang in there!”

Lynn (`皿′)? quickly grabbed a razor from the side and pinned the tentacle down on the operating table.

Then with one swift motion,

Squelch—

The tentacle fell to the ground, twitching in a messy heap.

Yueyue: (;′??Д??`)!!

Lynn stepped on the tentacle a few times, grinding it into the floor.

Yueyue, still shaking with fear, clutched Lynn's chest, her head turned toward the still wriggling tentacle.

“What is going on?!”

Lynn thought for a moment, “Looks like it’s just a small side effect of the medicine.”

“Side… Side effect…” Yueyue exclaimed in shock.

Lynn closed his eyes and said, “Yes, you know, the stronger the medicine, the stranger the side effects. This powerful regrowth serum might bring your severed limb back to life, but it’s bound to grow some other things too!

“It’s a perfectly normal phenomenon.”

“Normal?” Yueyue asked blankly.

“Normal, my foot!”

She (ΩДΩ) immediately pulled out her small sword and began swinging it at Lynn,

“What kind of dangerous medicine makes you grow weird tentacles like that?! This isn’t healing!

“This is mutation!”

“First it’s tentacles, then who knows what else might grow!

“I’m mutated!”

She tearily ??????????? pointed her sword at him, threatening the air with its sharp movements.

[Black Moth Fairy Sanity -10]

[Black Moth Fairy Sanity -10]

Lynn extended two fingers, pinching the tip of her sword and pushing it aside.

He adjusted his monocle and said seriously,

“Don’t be afraid. The rich rely on technology, the poor rely on mutation. You might be a rich moth, but a little mutation won’t hurt. Besides, even though you’ve mutated, look…”

Lynn pointed at her arm.

“Your arm has grown back, hasn’t it? This just shows the medicine is working!”

Lynn’s face was full of sincerity.

“But… but!” Yueyue ??????????? stammered,

“It’s so terrifying!”

[Black Moth Fairy Sanity -10]

Lynn calmly reassured her, “Don’t worry, the doctor is here. You can trust me. No matter what weird thing grows, I can always cut it off for you!”

“You have to believe me!”

Ding—

The bone-cutting knife in Lynn’s hand glowed with a bright aura.

Yueyue dazedly clutched her helmet and murmured,

“Really… really?”

Lynn nodded seriously, “Really. And don’t you want a healthy arm? For the sake of a healthy body, what’s a little mutation compared to that?”

Yueyue hesitated, still uncertain.

She thought about it.

“Alright… alright, just one last time!”

She tearily clutched her helmet, her eyes filled with tears.

Lynn gave her a thumbs-up with a smile, praising her unyielding courage.

Then, with the Black Moth Fairy trembling in fear, the new serum was applied to the stump of her arm once again.

Time passed slowly.

And just when everything seemed to calm down…

“Tail!! I’ve grown a terrible tail! (ΩДΩ) Cut it off! Quickly, cut it off!!”

Squelch—

“I feel it! There’s some weird stuff growing in my clothes! More slippery tentacles! Cut them off, cut them off!”

Squelch—

“Ah!! Wings!! I’ve grown new wings! Hey, they look pretty cool, maybe I’ll keep these…”

Squelch—

“Ah! (ΩДΩ) I said I’ll keep them, why did you cut them off?!”

Ten minutes later.

[Ding! You have completed the task: Limb Regrowth. You have earned 200 Skeleton Coins and 200 Experience.]

The Black Moth Fairy lay there, still trembling, her arm fully healed. She moved it slightly, testing the strength.

Meanwhile, the wooden barrel beside her was filled with the strange limbs that had just been cut off.

“How do you feel?”

Lynn asked seriously as he helped her sit up.

Yueyue stared blankly and replied,

“I feel… like my whole body is covered in strange things…”

“Don’t worry, it’s just a hallucination. I’ve cut off everything that shouldn’t have grown.”

Yueyue weakly lifted her trembling hand and mumbled,

“The medicine costs money… but the weird things you chopped off… didn’t cost anything, right?”

Lynn’s eyes were filled with tears.

“New Year’s Special! Buy one, get one free!”
