Could it be...


    His expression turned blank.


    And in the next moment, Lin En cheerfully walked out from the backyard holding several bottles of high-level recovery potions.


    "Uncle, 200 Skull Coins a bottle, no surgery needed. After taking it, you''ll be as lively as a dragon, haha—"


    Bang—


    A bullet whistled past Lin En''s ear.


    Lin En: "???"


    The Demon Hunter immediately rushed forward, grabbed Lin En by the collar, and gritted his teeth, saying:


    "You little brat, you were pretending to be so innocent just now! I never would have thought it was you who supplied that bald guy with potions!"


    Lin En looked bewildered and said, "What potion? I don''t understand."


    The Demon Hunter flew into a rage, saying, "Still playing dumb? I saw that bald guy take a potion before our duel, and the bottle looked exactly like the one on your table!"


    Lin Enヾ(?д?)?.


    Lin En cleared his throat. Seeing that the situation was exposed, he decided to drop the act and curiously asked:


    "The bald guy you mentioned... was he a Black Knight riding a warhorse?"


    The Demon Hunter (〝▼皿▼) held onto his collar and said, "What do you think?!"


    Lin En closed his eyes, staying calm, and a smile appeared on his face as he said:


    "I see."


    "A few hours ago, that customer did come to my shop and spent a lot of money buying a batch of potions. Very wealthy! He contributed a significant amount to my shop''s sales! Haha—"


    He spoke seriously yet politely.


    Completely acting like an outsider.


    The Demon Hunter gritted his teeth, his eyes flickering, and said, "What kind of potion did you give him?"


    Seeing a sales opportunity, Lin En''s face instantly displayed a professional smile, saying, "Our apothecary''s latest product, a Critical Hit Potion that can greatly enhance your combat abilities! High quality and affordable, it''s a must-have for killing and looting!"You might be reading a pirated copy. Look for the official release to support the author.


    "Trust me! You won''t find it outside!"


    Lin En adjusted his monocle, his expression serious.


    The Demon Hunter said maliciously, "You''re actually helping a dark creature against your own kind?!"


    Lin En decisively reached out, earnestly saying, "Please don''t jump to conclusions, uncle. First, I didn''t know your relationship. Second, he came to me seeking powerful potions and was generous with his money. I had no reason to turn him away."


    "Third."


    Lin En closed his eyes and held up three fingers.


    "Our shop welcomes all friendly customers. If he can buy this potion to deal with you, you can also buy it from me to deal with him!"


    Lin En looked earnestly at the Demon Hunter in front of him, his gaze sincere and moving.


    "For the sake of our kinship, I can even give you a 20% discount!"


    "......"


    "......"


    A brief silence.


    The Demon Hunter squinted his eyes and said, "How much?"


    Lin En seriously held up two fingers and said, "The unit price is 2000 Skull Coins! But since you''re a fellow kin and an old customer, I''ll give you a 20% discount, 1600 coins per bottle, a bargain price for you!"


    The Demon Hunter''s eyes flickered. After thinking for a moment, he hesitated and said:


    "Or I could just kill you now and take over your little shop..."


    Lin En closed his eyes and shook his head, saying, "Uncle, we''re blood relatives of the same tribe! As they say, rely on parents at home, rely on kin when out. Our relationship is closer than parents, it''s the bond flowing in our blood!"


    "And besides, I even gave you a 20% discount..." Lin En was almost in tears.


    The Demon Hunter''s skin crawled all over.


    He realized that after just one day of not seeing him, this kid''s ability to disgust people had improved significantly.


    "Enough talk!" The Demon Hunter gritted his teeth, rubbing his temples, and said, "How many did that bald guy buy, give me the same amount! I have plenty of money!"


    "Alright!" Lin En''s heart instantly blossomed with joy.


    ...


    A few minutes later.


    [Ding! You have completed the task: Treat the Demon Hunter''s injuries. You received a reward: Skull Coins +200, Basic Experience +300, Demon Hunter Favorability +20]


    "It''s already made!"


    With the system prompt, Lin En smiled and placed the freshly made 10 bottles of Critical Hit Potion on the counter.


    "Ten potions for a total of 16,000 coins, or 16 Black Skull Coins, plus 6 regular recovery potions for 300 coins, and 2 special recovery potions for 600 coins, totaling 16,900 coins."


    "I''ll round it up for you, 17,000 coins, thank you for your patronage!"


    Lin En bowed at a ninety-degree angle.


    The Demon Hunter gritted his teeth, pulling money out of his pouch with a clinking sound.


    He didn''t know why.


    He just had a feeling that this guy was trying to scam him.


    After paying, he hesitated as he looked at the potion in his hand and asked:


    "Will drinking this really make me bald?"


    To be honest.


    He was still a bit resistant.


    Because his head of shiny black hair had been carefully maintained for many years.


    Lin En said seriously, "Baldness is a small matter, strength is a lifetime matter. And it''s just hair, right? If you lose it, come to me, and I can even offer you hair implants!"


    Lin En suddenly thought of a great business chain.


    Critical Hit Potion + Hair Implant Service = Endless small profits.


    The Demon Hunter hesitated.


    But thinking about how he almost died at the hands of that Black Knight, who was far weaker than him, he felt frustrated.


    If baldness could really make him stronger, then perhaps it wasn''t entirely unacceptable.


    Thinking this, he popped open the cork.


    And downed the potion in one gulp.


    Buzz—


    Instantly, a red glow flashed all over his body.


    He looked surprised, and immediately felt an indescribable power surging through him.


    "This... this is..." he gasped, breathing heavily.


    With a loud bang.


    Under that immense power, his clothes burst open, revealing his muscular physique.


    He clearly felt the tremendous boost within him!


    It was unimaginable!


    And at this moment, he finally realized the heaven-defying nature of this potion. Compared to baldness, it was definitely worth it!


    A gust of wind blew by.


    Under Lin En''s wide-eyed gaze, his shiny black hair was blown away.


    Ding—


    A gleam of light instantly flashed from his shiny bald head.


    Lin En: "Pfft—"


    But he held back, not laughing out loud.


    Because he knew.


    Laughing would mean death.


    But it was hard to hold back.


    Because this head was obviously rounder and shinier than the previous one!


    The Demon Hunter turned around, looking at his shiny bald head in the mirror, muttering:


    "I''m bald... and strong?"


    Ding—


    A flash of light sparkled from his shiny forehead.


    "......"


    Seeing the Demon Hunter''s blank expression, Lin En patted his shoulder and consoled:


    "Uncle, this is actually a good thing. Think about it, when you go out in the future, it''s like having your own light source, saving you a lot of money on lighting costs, right?"


    He made a good point.


    But for some reason.


    There was just an urge to take down this human kid.
