“Doctor—awesome—”

That huge baby head emitted a delicate voice.

Those two enormous eyeballs focused on Lynn.

“I—I won’t eat you anymore—”

【??? Trust in you +40】

Lynn adjusted his monocle, performed a perfect ninety-degree bow, and revealed a professionally dazzling smile.

“The praise from customers is always our strongest motivation to move forward. May I ask if you would like to experience our shop’s latest dental care service?”

Lynn blinked.

Finally, a super monster who actually liked him.

If he didn’t quickly build a connection and turn it into a returning customer, wouldn’t that be just plain stupid?

“Dental—care service?”

The monster’s voice sounded curious.

Lynn smiled and said, “Yes. Our shop can provide you with long-term dental maintenance. We can eliminate any type of oral disease and keep your teeth clean and healthy for a long time, preventing toothaches, mouth ulcers, tooth loss, and other abnormal symptoms.”

“Eh—”

Lynn spoke seriously, “How about trying it first? If you’re satisfied after the experience, then you can decide whether to become our long-term member.”

That huge baby head seemed to be thinking.

Then Lynn received an affirmative reply.

【Ding! You have triggered a new quest: Help ??? take care of their teeth. Quest reward: 50 Skeleton Coins, ???’s favorability toward you +50】

(๑＞︶＜)و

Exactly!

This is the effect I want!

Travel often in other worlds, and you gain more friends and more paths!

If you don’t cultivate a good relationship with a monster of this level, then you really must have a screw loose.

“Wait a moment!”

Without a word, Lynn sprinted back into the shop, grabbed various cleaning tools he usually used for chores, then rushed back to the monster’s mouth and began cleaning the scattered limbs stuck between its teeth.

【Ding! You obtained Unknown Creature’s severed arms x15】

【Ding! You obtained Strange Organs x54】

【Ding! You obtained Broken Skull Pieces x31】

【Ding! You obtained Gold x132g】

【Ding! You obtained Superior Enchanted Armor (Damaged) x1】

The more Lynn cleaned, the more shocked he became.

Because this was basically a treasure trove!

After thoroughly cleaning the various severed limbs inside the monster’s mouth,

Under the curious gaze of that eyeball, Lynn quickly dashed to his shop’s warehouse, brought bucket after bucket of materials, and swiftly mixed them in the middle of the hall.

“What is this?” The eyeball radiated curious light.

Lynn stirred the gooey liquid inside a large bucket with a wooden stick and explained,

“This is slime secretion from a Dark Slime, which produces lots of foam. Then there’s soapberry, which has sterilizing and refreshing effects, plus my teacher’s special whitening and wound-cleaning medicine. It can keep your teeth bright and fresh for a long time, and your breath will be fresh!”

【??? Trust in you +20】

“Awesome—”

That eyeball nodded blankly up and down.

Although it didn’t fully understand, it was absolutely impressive.

Soon, the “Dark World Brand Toothpaste” was ready. Nᴇw ɴovel chaptᴇrs are published on novel[f]ire.net

Lynn (╯‵□′)╯ took a large brush from the backyard, carried a bucket bubbling with foam, jumped into the monster’s mouth, and started his diligent brushing work.

“Can I—help?”

The eyeball watched Lynn’s brushing curiously and even seemed eager to try.

Because this was truly very novel.

“Here.”

Lynn generously pulled out a bunch of small brushes from the shop.

The tentacles immediately imitated Lynn’s actions, each grabbing a brush, curiously dipping it in the paste, brushing while rotating their eyeballs to look around, copying Lynn’s movements.

“Brush like this first, then like this, and then like this!”

“Oh oh—”

【??? Trust in you +10】

“Also, clean the dirt between the teeth, so as to prevent infections!”

“Oh oh—”

【??? Trust in you +10】

They brushed continuously for a whole hour.

【Ding! You completed the quest. You received 50 Skeleton Coins. ???’s favorability toward you +50】

Hearing the system notification, Lynn, drenched in sweat, put down the brush, sat on the steps, and showed a satisfied smile after hard work.

“Compared to before, doesn’t your whole mouth feel refreshed and renewed?”

Ding—

The shiny white teeth reflected dazzling light.

“Mm—”

That eyeball revealed a shining expression (✪ω✪).

It was completely different from before when the mouth was bloody and full of yellow teeth! The cleanliness was as bright as if it had just been born!

Having such shining teeth would really make anyone’s appetite explode no matter what they chew!

“Are you satisfied with this service?”

“Yes—”

“Would you like to become a lifetime member of our shop? You can come at any time for free dental cleaning.”

“Yes—”

“May I ask your name? I’d like to register it. Next time you come, you can receive a specially made golden membership card and a small gift from our shop.”

“What is—a name?”

“It’s the name other beings call you.”

“I don’t have—a name—”

“How about I give you one for free?”

“Okay—”

【Ding! You have successfully given a true name to the Origin-Level Monster: ‘Xiaoxiao.’ You received a special achievement: Origin Namer!】

【Origin Namer】: As the first human in the history of the Dark World to name an Origin-Level Monster and have it happily accept the name, you have made history. The host permanently gains: Origin Monster Affinity +1, Monster Affinity +10, Temporary Curse Removal Ability x1

…

“Thank you for visiting the shop. We look forward to your next visit.”

Lynn bowed a perfect ninety degrees toward the Origin-Level Monster happily hopping away, showing off its shining teeth, heading to the end of the street.

He smiled the whole time, watching that ultimate monster leave.

Lynn immediately rushed into the potion shop, grabbed a hammer and nails, and banged loudly to nail the door shut completely. He stared wide-eyed, pressing his wildly beating heart.

Only then did he fully relax.

Although everything looked very harmonious,

As a human facing such a terrifying monster, not being scared would be a lie.

“Fortunately, my psychological resilience is solid, otherwise, there’s no way I could have survived this night!”

Lynn sighed with relief, wiping sweat from his forehead.

But luckily, with his excellent eloquence and medical skills, he successfully earned the favor of that Origin-Level Monster.

Lynn knew very well,

In this Dark World, Origin-Level Monsters were basically like max-level bosses in online games.

Any one of them appearing was not something an ordinary monster could withstand.

“And it doesn’t feel like just one.”

Lynn stared wide-eyed, trying to calm his heartbeat.

Because it was obvious,

That Demon Hunter definitely came along with these Origin-Level Monsters, but since he never showed up in Wandering Souls Alley, it meant there were other powerful, high-danger monsters around that area.

Fortunately, this time he encountered a “benevolent” Origin Monster he could communicate with.

Otherwise, his fate would have been the same as those Steel Puppets that got squashed immediately.

“Sure enough, having a skill can sometimes be a life-saving measure.”

Lynn murmured.

After all, technical specialists were always the most welcomed no matter where they were placed.
