Finally.
Lynn forcefully pulled his head out of Left Hand's massive mouth.
Using his right hand to firmly restrain Left Hand's giant maw, he saw the goat-headed monster's (ΩДΩ) blood-spurting thigh and urgently said:
"Customer, while I did say bloodletting is a quick way to find release, you really didn't need to stab yourself so hastily!"
"You came here seeking treatment, didn't you? Why are you in such a hurry to find release?"
The goat-headed monster (ΩДΩ) couldn't utter a single word.
I fucking...
I fucking didn't!
I never wanted release!
If you had finished your sentence all at once, I wouldn't have stabbed myself!He pointed at his blood-spurting thigh.
(ΩДΩ) making frantic gestures.
Stop it!
Stop the bleeding!!
It's spraying everywhere!
[Goat-Headed Monster's SAN -10]
"Have you changed your perspective? Do you also think living is better now? It really warms my heart to see you change your opinion!"
Lynn's expression turned serious as he quickly extended his foot.
With precise footwork.
He pressed down on the spurting artery with a single step.
Sssss—
The wildly spurting blood was instantly restrained.
The goat-headed monster immediately slumped down entirely, sweat pouring down his dazed face.
"Can I not get treated here? Could you spare me just this once... I swear, whenever I see you in the future, I'll definitely take a detour... really..."
Tears of grievance fell pattering from his wide-open eyes.

Lynn said gloomily, "I'm sorry, I'm still a novice and gave you some unpleasant experiences, but once you step out that door, there aren't any other potion shops within several hundred miles around here."
The goat-headed monster trembled as tears flowed, saying, "There are, there must be..."
Lynn said awkwardly, "There really aren't. There used to be some, but now they're all soaking in the specimen room in the backyard..."
He pointed toward the specimens soaking in the back.
"I'm inserting it now!"
The goat-headed monster instantly reached out his hand, trembling as he said, "Wait a moment!!"
Plunge—
"Meeeh!!!"
[Ding! Goat-Headed Monster's Fear of You +10]
......
Several minutes later.
The goat-headed monster sat dazed against the chair, his body pierced with over a dozen syringes of various sizes, the wound on his thigh already bandaged.
Lynn (❁´◡`❁)* used tentacles to tie a bow on his thigh, saying:
"How is it? The effects are quite good, aren't they?"
"The potion I prepared for you is a special medicine my teacher developed specifically for toxins like the Human-Faced Vine. You definitely came to the right place by choosing our Bloodsaw Potion Shop."
"Let me tell you, other places might not have the same therapeutic efficacy as we do here."
The goat-headed monster leaned there dazed, feeling the weakness slowly fading from his body.
It was truly strange, though.
After those dozen-plus injections.
Although he suffered significant mental trauma, the abnormal weakness and dizziness in his body had indeed been greatly restrained.
Even the unusual fragrance emanating from his body was gradually fading.
Could it be...
This wasn't actually a black-market shop that killed people for their goods, but a legitimate potion shop?
Had he been mistaken?
The goat-headed monster said dazedly, "You're not planning to heal me first, then slice me up, are you?"
Lynn firmly restrained the Left Hand that wanted to eat him, (〃＞皿＜) saying:
"How could that be? Our Bloodsaw Potion Shop always upholds the principle that customers are gods. As long as you have money, forget about slicing you up—you could slice me up and I'd be fine with it!"
[Ding! Your Comforting Experience +1]
[Ding! The goat-headed monster's spirit has been greatly comforted. You are successfully progressing toward becoming a qualified doctor who can make people feel at ease.]
The goat-headed monster breathed a small sigh of relief, saying dazedly:
"Um... what if I don't have money?"
Hum—
The entire potion shop instantly fell into complete silence.
Even the Left Hand that was chattering its teeth trying to eat Lynn stopped.
Lynn paused for a moment, picked up a knife, and said:
"No money?"
The goat-headed monster instantly (((;꒪ꈊ꒪;))) had his hair stand on end.
[Ding! Goat-Headed Monster's SAN -1]
"I do! I do! Definitely have! Lots of it!"
With the fastest speed of his life, he swish-swish-swished out pouch after pouch of Skeleton Coins from his chest.
The speed was so fast it almost created afterimages.
Looking at the clattering small change, Lynn's face immediately showed a benevolent ヽ(￣▽￣)ﾉ expression, saying:
"You really scared me there, customer. Please don't make jokes like that. You made me think you came for unpaid medicine. I was already planning which parts of you to cut, my heart was pounding so hard it almost jumped out from fright, hahaha!"
The goat-headed monster (((;꒪ꈊ꒪;))) said: "Is... is that so?... Ha... haha..."
[Goat-Headed Monster's Blood Pressure +1]
He quickly changed the subject, wiping cold sweat from his forehead, saying:
"That... not to mention, your potion's effects feel quite effective! Just these few minutes, I already feel much better than before!"
Lynn counted the money, a knowing smile appearing in his eyes, (*๓´╰╯`๓) saying:
"Of course. My teacher used to specialize in cultivating this type of poison on a large scale. Naturally, he has some expertise in treating this kind of toxin. You could say our shop is the only place in the entire Dark World that has the special medicine for Human-Faced Vine."
"I... see..." The goat-headed monster wiped his sweat, saying: "Then if creatures from other places got poisoned by this, it would really be quite troublesome..."
Lynn (❁´◡`❁)* said:
"Don't worry about that. Other than our place, there won't be this kind of poison anywhere else."
"..."
The goat-headed monster froze in place.
For some reason.
He felt there was some special logical relationship hidden within these words.
