Lynn numbly and automatically ignored all the System's explanations about achievements, directly retrieving the reward the System had just given him.
[Risqué Potion Formula]
[Quality]: High-grade
[Introduction]: People shouldn't, or at least ought not to, whoever researched this potion deserves death, but that doesn't mean it isn't an excellent potion. However, precisely because its potency is extremely strong, please be sure to use it appropriately. Don't chug an entire bottle at once, or you'll bear the consequences yourself.
[Formula]: Succubus Bodily Fluid x1, Hell Spark Bud x5, Slime Mucus x1, Spider Demon Sac Fluid x1, etc.
Lynn: "......"
As expected.
Lynn had roughly figured out the System's pattern by now.
If you engaged in certain types of activities, the rewards the System gave you would most likely be related to that area.
However, he probably wouldn't have any use for such a strange potion formula.After all.
Such an improper potion really didn't match his attributes at all.
...
More than ten minutes later.
In front of the main hall counter, Lynn calmly handed a cup of strong tea to the Doll Mistress sitting opposite him.
Although she had already regained consciousness, her gaze remained somewhat dazed, her body trembling intermittently, and her skin was completely flushed red.
"There might still be some residual effects from the medicine, but it's not a big problem. I've prepared some revitalizing and mind-clearing potions for you. After you drink this tea, you'll sober up quickly."
"Thank you."
The Doll Mistress dazedly held the miniature teacup. Her mind was still a complete mess.
A smile appeared on Lynn's face as he placed his hands crossed on the table, saying:
"Auntie, how do you feel? Has the curse within your body been suppressed now?"
After finishing the tea, the Doll Mistress felt waves of cool energy rushing straight to her brain, allowing her consciousness to recover rapidly.
She murmured while holding the teacup, "It seems... it really worked. The abnormalities in my muscles and bones are indeed much better than yesterday..."
Lynn smiled and said, "That's treating the right illness with the right medicine. Curses are different from other things; the key lies in finding the appropriate breakthrough."
The Doll Mistress recalled the nightmare she endured throughout the entire previous night.
She still instinctively shuddered.
A smile appeared on Lynn's face as he placed his hands crossed on the table, saying:
Using that utterly detestable potion did indeed achieve better results than dual exercises..
Usually, just as your mind went blank, the second wave would immediately follow.
But she swore!
That feeling was like having countless ants crawling all over, feeling extremely unpleasant!
Lynn smiled and said, "That's treating the right illness with the right medicine. Curses are different from other things; the key lies in finding the appropriate breakthrough."
Because it truly felt like breaking down completely.
She vigorously shook her head, casting that terrifying sensation out of her mind, then turned her flickering gaze onto Lynn's smiling face.
However...
Although using that kind of potion on her for treatment was truly quite despicable.
This young man actually managed to resist the urge not to sneak in quietly!
Because she swore.
In that state at the time, if he had really entered the operating room, she definitely wouldn't have been able to restrain herself. Whether something would have happened then...
That would have been truly hard to say.
For a moment, the look in her eyes as she gazed at Lynn suddenly contained some indescribable ambiguity and affection.
Lynn maintained his composure.
But he probably already knew what the Doll Mistress was thinking...
What a joke!
Although I, Lynn, might occasionally be improper, even rabbits don't eat the grass near their burrows!
Although using that kind of potion on her for treatment was truly quite despicable.
Just imagining it feels terrifying, okay!
Lynn absolutely did not want to have any further entanglement with this lady. After this, he must maintain a firm distance and absolutely not give her any opportunity whatsoever.
"By the way, Bloodsaw? The one I called yesterday... uh... I mean, he actually didn't hear anything?"
The Doll Mistress inquired curiously.
Lynn closed his eyes and said, "Don't worry, to prevent some difficult-to-explain misunderstandings from occurring, I gave my teacher a small amount of sleeping pills. Teacher slept very soundly."
Lynn stretched out his foot, instinctively moving a large pile of empty bottles and jars under the counter to a more concealed position.
The Doll Mistress teased, "Quite considerate, aren't you? You actually dared to drug your own teacher?"
Lynn: "......"
Otherwise?
Should I have let teacher wake up and see you trapped on the operating table in that... wanton state?!
I guarantee teacher would have come charging with a knife that very day!
Rather than explaining after a misunderstanding occurs, it's better to strangle the misunderstanding in its cradle.
After experiencing that practical lesson with Little One, Lynn had long since learned to be shrewd!
"However, no matter what, I still want to thank you."
The Doll Mistress smiled, propping her chin on her hand.
"If you hadn't detected those issues for me, perhaps by the time I discovered them myself, it would have been beyond help. Just from this point alone, you truly are more outstanding than your teacher."
"Speak up, silly boy, what reward do you want?"
Lynn calmly shook his head and said, "You belong to my teacher; how could I accept payment from you? That would be a joke, wouldn't it?"
Heh.
Lynn closed his eyes and said, "Don't worry, to prevent some difficult-to-explain misunderstandings from occurring, I gave my teacher a small amount of sleeping pills. Teacher slept very soundly."
Lynn stretched out his foot, instinctively moving a large pile of empty bottles and jars under the counter to a more concealed position.
"That won't do. One should repay kindness. How about this, if you don't want money, I'll give you something else instead?"
Lynn was startled.
He instantly recalled the [Special Reward] mentioned in the System prompt.
Could it be referring to this?
Lynn asked hesitantly, "What is it?"
The Doll Mistress curled the corner of her mouth, slowly extending her palm. Strands of mysterious Cursed Arts ripples swirled above her hand.
Tap—
A thin booklet engraved with demonic patterns appeared in her hand.
Under Lynn's curious gaze, she pushed the booklet towards him with a faint smile, saying:
"I believe you'll definitely be very interested. Your teacher will be going to search for the Demonkin Association's legacy in a few days. When that time comes, you'll be the only one left here in Wandering Souls Alley."
"Although I know you're good friends with those three Headhunters, they certainly can't stay by your side all the time, right?"
"The news of the Demonkin Association's destruction has already spread through the Sight. Many ill-intentioned creatures will definitely come here to investigate then."
"Wouldn't you like to have more means to protect yourself?"
Lynn looked down and picked up the thin booklet.
Several large characters on the title page immediately caught his eye.
《Doll Manor · Comprehensive Doll Manual》
"Dolls?"
Lynn was puzzled.
