Lynne: "!!!"
Don't just spout off strange things! What do you mean by "a man who shove your mouth"? Wasn't it clearly an emergency measure to prevent you from biting randomly?! Being so casual can lead to misunderstandings, you know!
Lynne was speechless. "Let's not dwell on that for now. There's still the most crucial step to take. Your whole arm is ruined. Regeneration is possible, but it depends on whether you can afford it."
Yoyo earnestly replied: "I can afford it. I've brought all the funds from my clan with me!"
Under Lynne's watchful gaze, she adjusted her oversized knight's helmet, struggling to keep her balance, then reached into her collar, plunging her hand deep into her bosom.
Lynne's eyes widened. What on earth was she doing?!
And then, in the next moment, Yoyo forcefully yanked something out with a (〃＞皿＜).
Splash—
She ended up seated on the ground, pulling a large purse from her bosom. Coins scattered across the floor, clinking together.
Lynne: "(ΩДΩ)??"
Under Lynne's gaze, after the fairy pulled out the substantial amount of coins, what was once a puffed-up bosom deflated instantly.
Fake... It was fake...
"Koli!" Yoyo (๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶ gave a thumbs-up, saying earnestly: "All the money's right here! Enough to buy you out!"
She opened the purse. It was chock-full of black skull coins.
Lynne: "!!!"
A single black skull coin was worth 1,000 skull coins. Judging by the size of the purse, this fairy was carrying a fortune of at least several hundred thousand! She truly was incredibly wealthy!
Closing her eyes, she reached into the purse, pulling out a large handful of black skull coins, placing them on the operating table, asking: "Is this enough?"
"More than enough!"
Lynne was taken aback. [Foolish, tender, wealthy, and easy to deceive! She really does check all the boxes, doesn't she?]
Lynne shook his head, discarding all unrealistic thoughts. He swiftly turned around, pulling out a pre-prepared [Flesh Regeneration Potion] from the cabinet behind her, saying with a smile: "In that case, let me treat you with a potion from my latest research. You get what you pay for, and this is a very high-grade potion. One bottle will cost you 3 black skull coins. Fair enough?"
His potion was finally coming into play.
Yoyo hesitated, then shook her head, seriously saying: "It might not work, koli."
"Why"
"Because of my unique constitution, I've maxed out my resistance to all toxins!" She closed her eyes and raised a finger solemnly, continuing: "Meaning, negative toxins have no effect on me! Likewise, beneficial healing potions don't work either! It's a tricky situation."
As she spoke, she pulled out a bottle filled with a greenish potion from her bosom. She forcefully uncorked it.
Whoosh—
A large, smoke-like skull emerged from the bottle.
Lynne: "???"
Yoyo earnestly said, "For instance, this is a potent toxin commonly used to poison our fairy kind. I've been drinking it since I was young, and it has zero effect on me."
With that, she tilted her head back and gulped it down.
Crash—
The empty bottle shattered on the floor. The residue from the potion produced wisps of blue smoke.
Burp~~
She wiped her mouth and said seriously, "As you saw, even such a potent hallucinogenic poison has no effect on me. A normal fairy would've been incapacitated, easily captured and defeated! But I remain vibrant and lively!"
Lynne: "..."
This is one toxic little creature!
Lynne, lost for words, asked, "Then why come to me?"
"To try my luck!" Yoyo responded earnestly, "Although I'm not particularly afraid of pain, it's still bothersome to be without an arm. I wanted to find a medical shop where, if possible, I can get a powerful prosthetic."
Lynne glanced at the Flesh Regeneration Potion in his hand. He pondered for a moment. Then, he smiled gently, "Alright, how about a trial? My potion is unique, so it might just work. What do you think? If it doesn't work, no charge!"
Given that the potion formula was provided by the system, it should differ from the potions of this world in some way. He had immense confidence in the system.
…
Minutes later. On the operating table. Lynne uncapped the potion. Under the curious gaze of Yoyo, he carefully dabbed it onto the stump with a cotton swab. It felt cold and slightly numb, accompanied by a tingling pain.
"Will it work?" Her voice trembled with anticipation. After all, if possible, she definitely didn't want to be left with just one arm. A prosthetic would surely be less agile than a real arm.
Adjusting his monocle, Lynne replied, "Let's wait and see. To be honest, this is the first time I'm using this potion on a living being. The outcome remains to be seen."
"Eh?!" Yoyo was stunned. Seeing Lynne's serious expression, she swallowed hard and watched intently.
Time slowly passed. Minutes later.
Yoyo exhaled deeply, saying earnestly, "It seems like there's no effect. My unique constitution has max resistance to all potions. If this doesn't work, please fit me with a suitable prosthetic."
But just then, she felt a faint itching sensation at the site of her wound. She paused. Immediately, she turned to look at her shoulder. To her astonishment, she exclaimed, "Is... is this...?"
She saw that her wound was regenerating flesh at a rate visible to the naked eye. Even the bones seemed to be showing signs of regrowth.
"It's working?!!" She exclaimed in shock. This was beyond her expectations. She knew her constitution well. Her resistance to external influences, while keeping her safe from many dangers, also brought about significant inconveniences in life. While others could use a single recovery potion to heal, she often had to wait much longer for wounds to heal naturally. She never imagined that this human doctor's concoction would actually affect her!
"The healing rate is slightly diminished; your unique resistance has indeed interfered with the potion's potency, but only slightly," Lynne remarked, carefully observing the growing arm. Quickly, he pulled out a notebook, noting down the potion's clinical manifestations.
With widened eyes and a bead of sweat trickling down her forehead, Yoyo intently watched her regenerating arm, uttering, "This... this is incredible! Doctor, your potion is genuinely remarkable! Truly! Outstanding! You really are a man who has left a deep impression on me! So capable!"
[Ding! Yoyo's Favorability towards you +50]
"Don't just take a liking to me out of the blue."
Lynne, with a serious demeanor, continued jotting down the experiment's progress, saying, "Describe any sensations you're feeling for my records."
Wriggling her legs in a puzzled manner (❁´◡`❁), Yoyo shared, "It's tingly, numb, a bit painful, and not just in the arm. Other parts of my body feel tingly and numb too!"
Lynne noted down every detail.
"And what else?" Lynne asked, adjusting his monocle.
Yoyo (❁´◡`❁) replied, "It feels wonderful. It's as if my arm is growing, and strangely enough, it feels as though I've gained an extra pair of arms. Quite fascinating~~"
Lynne took notes. As he raised his head, about to comment, his eyes widened in sheer horror, and he froze.
"..."
From behind Yoyo's shoulder, a thick, viscous tentacle, the girth of a wrist, began to slowly emerge from beneath her armor.
[Sanity -10]
"Um...(꒪Д꒪)..."
With a squelch, the soft, pinkish tentacle caressed Yoyo's cheek, leaving a trail of gooey liquid on her face.
With a slick sound, the tentacle moved fluidly, and Lynne watched, petrified.
The delicate, rosy tentacle tenderly brushed against the fairy Yoyo's face, depositing trails of viscous fluid.
Yoyo (๑´ㅂ`๑) closed her eyes and wiggled her neck, admonishing, "Yada, yada! Doctor, you really shouldn't carelessly 'kiss' my face like that. While I recognize your exceptional skills and you've indeed left a profound impression on me, touching me so freely is still not permissible~"
[Ding! Yoyo's Favorability towards you +5]
"Well..."
With a slick sound, the tentacle wound its way stealthily, and under Lynne's watchful gaze, it slid into the helmet of the dumbfounded fairy. Gradually, it crept through the helmet's crevices, sneaking further into the armor.
"Yada! (*≧▽≦) No touching my neck! It tickles! Wait, why is it sneaking into my clothes? No!"
[Ding! Yoyo's Favorability for you +10]
Lynne's expression froze. "Um... you might want to open your eyes and see for yourself..."
Yoyo (๑＞︶＜๑) opened her eyes , instantly noticing Lynne, who was stiffly standing two meters away. "Huh? Doctor, why are you so far away?"
Lynne replied stiffly, "I've always been here."
A moment of realization dawned upon Yoyo as she felt the tickling sensation around her neck. She instinctively turned her gaze to the side of her helmet.
"..."
"..."
The world seemed to buzz around her.
[Sanity -30!]
[Sanity -30!]
...
The next moment, a deafening scream pierced through the entirety of Wandering Soul Lane.
...
Inside the operating room, Yoyo rolled frantically on the operating table, exclaiming in horror, (ΩДΩ): "Tentacles! Why do I have tentacles on me?! Help! These strange tentacles are touching me!"
"Stay still! I'll help you!"
Witnessing the scene, Lynne dashed forward without hesitation, (〝▼皿▼) swiftly grabbing the base of the tentacle.
"Help! It's so slippery! It's trying to sneak in! Sneak in?! Where is it going?! Into the hollow parts koli!"
"!!!"
With a determination in his eyes, Lynne quickly pinned her down, mustering all his strength to grab the base of the tentacle. Gritting his teeth, he struggled to pull it out from her helmet.
Slick, slick—
The tentacle writhed uncontrollably in Lynne's grasp. Its slime splattered everywhere. Yoyo sanity plummeted as she clutched her helmet, screaming in horror: "It grew from me! It actually sprouted from my shoulder!"
"Hold still!"
Lynne (｀皿′)ﾉ picked up a razor from the side and pinned the tentacle down on the operating table. With one swift motion, he sliced it. With a wet thud, the tentacle fell limply beneath the table.
Yoyo exclaimed, "(;´༎ຶД༎ຶ`)!!"
Lynne stomped on the tentacle repeatedly, smashing it to a pulp. Still in shock, Yoyo clung to Lynne's chest, trembling as she gazed at the twitching remnant of the tentacle.
"What just happened?!"
Lynne pondered, "It seems to be a minor side effect of the potion."
"Side... effect..." Yoyo echoed in disbelief.
Lynne closed his eyes, saying, "Indeed, as you know, the more potent the potion, the stranger its side effects. If such a powerful regenerative potion can help you regrow a lost limb, it's entirely expected that it might cause some...additional growths. It's a natural occurrence."
"Natural?" Yoyo echoed in bewilderment. "Natural my foot!"
Frustration evident in her eyes, she (ΩДΩ) quickly pulled out her miniature sword from her belt, brandishing it menacingly at Lynne.
"Have you ever seen a potion that just randomly makes you sprout weird tentacles? This isn't healing! It's mutation! Today it's a strange tentacle, but what if something even weirder grows next time? I've mutated koli!"
Tears streamed down her face as she shakily threatened Lynne with her blade. The small sword hissed threateningly through the air.
[Black Moth Fairy's Sanity -10]
[Black Moth Fairy's Sanity -10]
Lynne calmly reached out with two fingers, pushing aside the blade's sharp tip. Adjusting his monocle, he sternly said: "Don't be afraid. They say the rich rely on technology, and the poor on mutations. Although you're a wealthy fairy, an occasional mutation won't harm you. Besides," Lynne pointed at her arm, "your arm did regrow, right? Doesn't that prove the potion's efficacy?"
His face was the very picture of sincerity.
"But... but!" Yoyo stammered, "It's terrifying!"
[Black Moth Fairy's Sanity -10]
Lynne reassured her, "Don't be scared. I'm here with you. Just trust me. No matter what strange things might grow this time, I can cut them off for you. Believe in me."
Ding—
A dazzling halo shimmered on the scalpel in Lynne's hand.
Holding her helmet, Yoyo hesitated, "Really?"
Lynne nodded earnestly, "Absolutely. Don't you want a healthy arm? A few mutations for the sake of a healthy body is a small price to pay, isn't it?"
Yoyo stared blankly. That... made sense. But why did she feel he had an ulterior motive?
"One... last time," she said with tearful eyes.
With a "ding," Lynne gave her a thumbs-up, praising her perseverance and determination. Under Yoyo's trembling gaze, a new potion was once again applied to the severed limb.
Moments ticked by. And then...
"A tail! I've grown a horrid tail! (ΩДΩ) Cut it off! Cut it off now!"
Swoosh—
"I can feel it! Something's wriggling inside my clothes! It's another sticky tentacle! Chop it off, chop it off!"
Swoosh—
"Ah! (ΩДΩ) Wings! New wings! Wait, these look pretty... maybe I can keep these..."
Swoosh—
"Ah! (ΩДΩ) I said I wanted to keep them! Why did you cut them off?!"
...
After about fifteen minutes.
[Ding! Task completed: Arm Regeneration. You've earned 200 skull coins and 200 experience points.]
Yoyo lay there, trembling and dazed. Her fully regenerated arm twitched slightly. Beside her, a bucket was filled with strange limbs that had just been chopped off.
"How do you feel?" Lynne asked, helping her up.
Yoyo murmured, "I feel... as if strange things have grown all over me..."
"Don't worry; it's all an illusion. I've chopped off everything that shouldn't have grown."
Yoyo, struggling, raised her trembling hand, murmuring, "The potion cost money... But cutting off those strange things... that's free, right?"
"Well...It's a New Year's special offer: buy one chop, get one free!"
