The elves were shocked.


    Although they had gone bald, it seemed they had suddenly become much stronger!


    Could this be the side effect of that powerful potion?!


    At the next moment, amidst the surging power, the captain grabbed a spear and roared, pointing towards the depths of the swarm at the aberration.


    "Prepare to charge!!"


    Under the astonished gaze of the elven troops.


    The five potion-enhanced elves, wielding their weapons, charged towards the aberration with unimaginable speed, like a prehistoric beast in fury.


    The swarm along their path was swept away effortlessly, like cutting through vegetables.


    "So strong! The captain and the others have become so strong all of a sudden!"


    "What kind of potion is this?! It can amplify combat power to such an extent in such a short time!"


    "But captain! At least wear some armor! Don''t charge in naked! (ΩДΩ)!"


    "Captain!!"


    Under their shocked gaze.


    The five bald, naked men, bursting with powerful strength, charged into the deepest part of the swarm like war gods incarnate.


    Meanwhile.


    Throughout the dark world, one bald, naked man after another was showcasing their dominance in various fields.


    ……


    Field of Vision.

    Apothecary.


    [Ding! Your fame in Sin City +10]


    [Ding! Your fame in the Dark Elven Court +5]


    [Ding! Your fame among the Succubus community +10]


    Lin En, who was busy concocting the Flesh Growth Potion, continuously received various notifications over the past few hours.


    Evidently, all this fame stemmed from the thirty bottles of Critical Hit Potion he had previously sold.


    However, Lin En paid no mind.


    At this moment.


    He was fully focused, standing seriously in front of a large pot, staring at the thick red liquid inside.


    Gurgle—


    Bubbles emerged one after another from the pot.


    "Add one piece of Blood Demon Flesh."


    "One liter of compound slime mucus."


    "One tail of a demon gecko."


    "One gram of dark bat droppings."


    "Stir thoroughly, then add a bit of headhunter''s tartar..."


    Lin En donned a mask and meticulously began brewing his potion according to the Flesh Growth Potion formula.


    [Ding! Alchemy experience +1]


    [Ding! Alchemy experience +1]


    [Ding! You have mastered Intermediate Alchemy, gaining Intelligence +1, Basic Experience +200]


    System notifications continuously sounded in his ears.


    After a full half-hour, Lin En bottled the freshly brewed potion.


    "Mission accomplished!"


    Lin En smiled, wiping the sweat from his brow.


    This was one of the two formulas rewarded by the system. Unlike the Critical Hit Potion, the Flesh Growth Potion was an auxiliary recovery potion. As the name suggests, it could rapidly regenerate flesh and heal injuries.


    [Flesh Growth Potion]: Top-tier potion, quickly heals external injuries and regenerates limbs, but may have some minor side effects...


    He had brewed a total of 17 bottles of this potion.


    Not because he didn''t want to make more, but because the key ingredient, the tissue of a Root-Level Monster, had been completely used up.


    And such materials were truly rare and hard to come by.


    Returning to the front hall, Lin En placed his carefully crafted potions on the counter, closed his eyes, and waited for customers.


    Having learned from the Critical Hit Potion''s precedent.


    Lin En was curious about the side effects of this potion, though he hoped there wouldn''t be any too bizarre adverse reactions.


    Now.


    He just needed a guinea pig to come by!


    "Knock, knock, knock—"


    There was a knock at the door.


    Lin En immediately stood up, a professional smile on his face, and said:


    "Welcome to the Blood Saw Apothecary, where we sincerely serve you."


    At the shop entrance, a fairy with a pair of pure black moth wings on her back slowly landed on the ground.


    She appeared to be less than fifty centimeters tall, her entire body clad in black knight armor, her chest puffed out, with a miniature longsword hanging from her left waist.


    But the right side of her body was bloody, as if her arm had been torn off by something.


    Splat—


    The fairy reached out her small hand to push up the mask on her helmet, revealing a pair of dark eyes, and said earnestly in a childish voice:


    "I need surgery, please!"


    Lin En''s vision instantly displayed her panel.


    [Black Moth Fairy]


    [Level]: 88


    [Age]: 99


    [Race]: Fairy


    [Alignment]: Chaotic Good


    [Combat Ability]: Small but efficient, concentrated essence.


    [Description]: Originally from the fairy race of the surface world, a small portion was exiled into the dark world long ago, evolving to adapt to the dark world environment as Dark Elves, possessing strong mobility and night vision, but due to their combat ability being unable to compete with other races of the same level, they are often kept as pets...


    Lin En was taken aback.


    It was his first time encountering such a race.


    [Ding! You have triggered the quest: Limb Regeneration, Quest Reward: Skull Coins: 200, Basic Experience: 200, Special Reward x1]


    "Please come in!"


    Lin En put on a professional smile.


    His gaze immediately fell on her torn arm.


    Rustle—


    The Black Moth Fairy fluttered her wings, flying onto the chair in front of the counter, but due to her short stature, even standing on the chair, she could barely align with Lin En.


    "My arm was eaten by a monster!"


    The Black Moth Fairy pointed to her mangled left arm, pushing up her fallen mask again, revealing her dark eyes, her expression serious.


    "I need treatment, or I''ll die. It was hard to find this apothecary, can you heal me?"


    She seemed naive and easy to deceive.


    Lin En smiled kindly, adjusting his monocle, and said:


    "Rest assured, our Blood Saw Apothecary is the best in Wandering Soul Alley for miles around, with a good reputation. Not to mention a severed arm, even if you''re burnt to ashes, we can bring you back!"


    The Black Moth Fairy stared at him intently.


    "Really?"


    Though she wanted to believe.


    Why did this seemingly kind smile always seem to hide some ominous undertone?


    "You won''t drug me and tie me up, then hide me in the attic for some vile acts, will you?"


    She asked seriously.


    "......"


    "......"


    This straightforward question left Lin En speechless.


    Is this a trait of this race? How can they ask such questions right to your face!


    And even if someone intended to, they certainly wouldn''t admit it!


    "No." Lin En replied earnestly.


    "That''s good." The Black Moth Fairy relaxed, letting out a small sigh of relief from behind her mask.


    [Ding! Black Moth Fairy''s favorability towards you +10]


    Lin En: "???"
