A few minutes later.


    [Ding! You have completed the task. You have received 50 Skull Coins, Surgical Ability Experience +50, Special Reward +1]


    [Ding! Due to uncontrollable special circumstances, Pig Demon''s Favorability has been converted to Fear. Pig Demon''s Fear +50]


    Pig Demon was shivering all over, sitting there with a vacant expression.


    Across the counter, Lin En sat calmly in a white coat, holding a quill, leisurely writing his medical report.


    He pushed a small batch of potions forward.


    "These potions, half are for oral use, half for external application, twice a day. Take them regularly, and in about two days, your vision should begin to recover. Of course, if you want faster-acting potions, the price will be ten times higher.


    Settle the bill, please. Including the surgery fee, potion fee, and care fee, you''ve already paid for the eyeball. The total comes to 546 Skull Coins. If everything is fine, please sign here."


    Lin En looked up, his dead fish eyes friendly, and said:


    "A fingerprint will do as well."


    Pig Demon shakily extended his hand and pressed a fingerprint on the report.


    He tremblingly pulled out a large money bag from his pocket, placing over five hundred Skull Coins on the counter, and said:


    "Can I leave now..."


    Lin En counted the coins.


    He looked up, his gaze landing on Pig Demon''s still bulging money bag.


    But the next moment, his attention was drawn to Pig Demon''s bulging belly.


    [Ding! You have triggered Pig Demon''s hidden task, Strange Belly. Task completion reward: Skull Coins +50, Surgical Ability Experience +50, Unlock Eye Diagnosis Function]


    Pig Demon turned to leave.


    Lin En suddenly reached out and stopped him, saying, "Wait a minute!"


    Pig Demon''s body instinctively trembled.

    "What now?!"


    He turned back, just in time to see Lin En adjust his monocle, and the eyeball fell onto the table with a plop, only to be calmly picked up and pressed back in place.


    [Sanity Value -1]


    Lin En shook his head and said, "I noticed some new issues with your body. If not diagnosed, it might have unknown effects on your health."


    Pig Demon gritted his tusks and said, "Don''t lie to me! I hate being lied to the most!"


    Lin En replied seriously, "I''m a doctor. I don''t lie. Anyone who enters my shop is my patient, and I must be responsible for their health. If I see a problem and don''t tell you, that would be truly unethical."


    Looking into Lin En''s serious and earnest eyes.


    Pig Demon finally, albeit reluctantly, sat back on the stool in front of the counter, hesitantly saying:


    "What seems to be the problem? I feel perfectly healthy."


    Lin En put on a mask and said, "Extend your hand, let me check your pulse."


    Pig Demon hesitantly placed his hairy arm on the counter.


    In the end, he decided to trust him one more time.


    Lin En''s expression remained calm as he placed his hand on Pig Demon''s pulse, carefully feeling it.

    [Diagnosis Experience +1]


    Slowly, Pig Demon saw Lin En''s brows furrow, and his heart leapt into his throat.


    "Is it really serious?" he asked nervously.


    He feared nothing more than a doctor frowning in front of him.


    Because that was never a good sign.


    Lin En withdrew his hand, looked up solemnly at Pig Demon, and frowned, saying:


    "The problem is neither small nor big, depending on how it''s handled."


    Pig Demon asked nervously, "What is the problem?"


    Lin En replied seriously, "Ectopic pregnancy."


    "......"


    "......"


    A brief silence ensued, with chilly winds blowing in from outside.


    The next moment, Pig Demon roared, grabbing Lin En''s collar in fury and lifting him up, saying:"Are you kidding me, you quack! Are you mocking me? I''ll give you one more chance to rephrase!!"


    Lin En remained calm.


    He adjusted his eyeball and said solemnly:"The pulse tells me so, it can''t be wrong. You must trust my medical expertise."


    Pig Demon roared, "My pulse is like your (bleep)!! I''ll say it again! I''m a boar!!"


    Lin En nodded and said gravely, "That''s why I said ectopic pregnancy. If there is one, it would be even more troublesome, requiring a deeper gender correction surgery, which would be a heavier burden for you."


    "......"


    "......"


    Pig Demon released Lin En''s collar with trembling hands and sat heavily on the stool.


    "What are you thinking?"


    "I''m thinking about how to chop you up!" Pig Demon glared, grinding his teeth in rage and humiliation.


    "Don''t think about useless things."


    Lin En adjusted his collar, sat at the counter, took out a medical record, and calmly said:


    "Have you recently experienced abdominal bloating, nausea, loss of appetite, or menstruation?"


    Pig Demon slammed the table, suppressing his trembling and humiliation, saying, "How could I menstruation!! Tell me how I could possibly menstruation (gritting teeth)!"


    Lin En continued to record, adjusting his eyeball, and said:"Please, patient, don''t get agitated. It''s just a routine inquiry. Besides menstruation, have you experienced any of the other symptoms?"


    Pig Demon gritted his teeth, eyes wide with rage, and said, "And if I have? Can''t I have an upset stomach?"


    Lin En adjusted his eyeball, glanced at him, and asked, "How long has it been happening?"


    Pig Demon ground his teeth and said, "A month!"


    Lin En continued to record, calmly asking, "When was your last xx activity? Do you have any bad habits, like excessive x exercise or using certain inappropriate tools?"


    Pig Demon stood there in a daze, his arms trembling, and said, "Try asking that again?"


    Clearly, he was extremely angry about this question.


    Lin En calmly raised his hand to stop, saying, "Alright, I won''t ask that question anymore. Next question."


    "During your most recent xx activity, did you feel any..."


    Lin En frowned, making a gesture of bursting, and asked, "Similar to a tearing pain?"


    Pig Demon couldn''t hold back any longer.


    He grabbed Lin En''s collar, roaring in rage and humiliation:


    "I''ve put up with you long enough! Translate for me what tearing pain means! Translate it for me, what! Is tearing pain?!"


    Lin En reached out, firmly patting his chest, shaking his head, and said:"Calm down, further diagnosis requires professional equipment. This is just a necessary procedure as a doctor, for the sake of your health! It''s for your own good!


    I assume you don''t want to leave any underlying issues, right?"


    Pig Demon huffed, his chest heaving with rage, but finally, under Lin En''s soothing, he let him go.

    Lin En adjusted his collar again, put down his pen, glanced at him, and shook his head, saying:


    Lin En sped up his speech and said, "Then there''s another possibility, you might have inadvertently ingested something containing strange powers, causing an abnormality within your body, leading to a false pregnancy!"
