That’s right.

He originally held extremely high expectations for the system shop.

After all, in the novels he had read before transmigrating, anything produced by a system was guaranteed to be top quality! Thɪs chapter is updated by noⅴelfire.net

Superhuman bloodlines, nine-tailed fox cubs, star-destroying battleships, cute maid girls—if you could imagine it, the system definitely sold it!

But looking at his own system,

someone unfamiliar might think it was just a junk collector!

Because at a glance, there was basically nothing useful at all!

“System! Refresh the goods!”

[Ding! This function is currently unavailable. Please be patient, automatic refresh occurs daily at 5:00!]

“...”

Lynn took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and sat back down.

Alright then!

Although it was completely the opposite of what he expected,

at least it was another way to source supplies, right?

Deadly Slime Liquid?

Bought!

Maybe it could be used to brew some deadly potions later!

[Skeleton Coins -50!]

A lucky cat doll that brings misfortune??

What use does this thing have?! Does it expect me to think I’m lucky enough to buy it and invite trouble?

Bought!

Maybe it can be a gift sometime!

[Skeleton Coins -200!]

Baby diapers (tight version)?

Lynn instinctively glanced at the mascot ghost baby (ㅍ_ㅍ) he had placed on the counter.

Hmm...

It grows so fast, and now that he had shaped it into a humanoid form, it wasn’t good for it to be completely naked.

Bought! This might actually be useful!

[Skeleton Coins -50]

Lynn put the diaper over its head.

Immediately, Lynn’s attention was drawn to the fourth item.

[Flesh Regeneration Potion Formula]: After taking the potion, injury recovery speed is greatly increased! Required materials: Blood Demon Meat Chunk, Non-attribute Slime Mucus, Tyrant Flower, Carnivorous Plant Growth Hormone.

This formula was the only decent item among the goods the system was selling.

It even came with the hard-to-get material [Blood Demon Meat Chunk].

This item was absolutely worth more than the price!

[Skeleton Coins -500]

[Skeleton Coins -100]

Without hesitation, Lynn pocketed these two items. Together with the critical hit potion rewarded by the system yesterday, he now had exclusive formulas for two potions in hand!

Lynn wasn’t in a rush to brew them.

As a potion shop owner,

merchants regularly brought all kinds of raw materials to supply the shop.

And by his calculations, that time was today.

Lynn immediately prepared his Skeleton Coins and packed the large amount of severed limbs he had dug out from the mouth of that Origin-Level Monster yesterday.

Outside the door,

fog hung thick and black mist swirled.

Lynn patiently waited at the entrance.

Slowly, from the darkness of the street came the creaking sound of wheels and footsteps.

A kindly yet eerie old lady carrying a human skin lantern appeared in his view and stopped in front of the potion shops.

“Young man, got any useless trash to give this old lady?”

[Ding! You triggered a task: Useless Trash (2). Task rewards: 50 Skeleton Coins, base experience +100, Scavenger’s favorability +50, special reward x1]

“Yes!”

Hearing the system task pop up, Lynn’s heart soared with joy.

He agreed very quickly, then hurried back inside and laboriously dragged out a large sack.

“Young man, you have this much trash to deal with?”

The old lady’s smile seemed to brighten considerably.

Lynn politely said, “Yes, grandma, do you want me to help put it on the cart?”

“Good, good! Really troublesome for you, young man.”

The old lady’s smile was exceptionally kind.

Lynn heaved that huge bag of “trash” onto the cart pulled by the scavenger. At the moment he put it down, the old lady’s smile instantly stiffened.

“Origin-Level... aura?”

Her face twisted in strangeness, and a flash of shock passed through her cloudy eyes.

She immediately felt the tremendous weight and oppressive force coming from the cart.

Her gaze toward Lynn became especially astonished.

[Human Skin Scavenger’s suspicion toward you +10]

Lynn smiled: “Maybe it’s a little contaminated. Last night, I checked the teeth of a customer and cleaned out useless stuff from its mouth. I thought you might need it, so I kept it for you.”

The old lady’s expression trembled and she said:

“You looked into the teeth of an Origin-Level Monster?! Aren’t you afraid it’ll eat you?”

Her gaze grew even more astonished, as if she had gained a deeper understanding of the young man before her.

Lynn laughed cheerfully: “Why be afraid? Serving customers is the principle of our Bloodsaw Potion Shop. No matter who comes, we treat everyone equally!”

[Human Skin Scavenger’s awe toward you +10]

At that moment,

Lynn clearly felt the old lady’s gaze shift, as if she was looking at a monster.

She lowered her voice, emitting hoarse sounds from her throat.

“Last night, three Origin-Level Abyssal Head Hunters came here. You probably helped the smallest one. Grandma advises you not to get involved with them; you probably don’t know yet...”

“Last night, Slaughter Alley, Evil Soul Street, and Shade Alley next door were completely emptied out by those three hunters. Fifteen high-level demon hunters and magic spirits were half killed...”

Lynn froze in place.

“The hunter you met last night was probably planning to feed in Wandering Souls Alley. Looks like because of you, our alley escaped disaster.”

Lynn was stunned: “But I thought that guest yesterday was pretty cute, shouldn’t be so vicious, right?”

“...”

A brief silence.

A breeze passed by.

The old lady seemed to have heard something extremely shocking and unbelievable.

“Cute...?”

Lynn: “Yeah, pretty cute...”

[Ding! You have left a deep and indelible impression in the Human Skin Scavenger’s heart!]

[Ding! Your reputation in Wandering Souls Alley +1]

Lynn wanted to explain more, but the old lady shook her head and murmured:

“As expected... there isn’t a single normal person in the Dark World... especially those who look normal...”

Lynn: “...”

[Ding! Congratulations on completing the task. You received 50 Skeleton Coins, 100 base experience, Human Skin Scavenger’s favorability +50]

Then, under Lynn’s watchful gaze,

the old lady stretched out her withered hand and slowly reached toward her chest.

“Young man, what you gave me this time is too precious. I can’t digest it all at once. This thing I just scavenged, maybe it will be useful to you.”

Creak, creak—

A bone-chilling sound came.

Lynn saw the old lady plunge her hand into her own chest cavity and forcibly pull out a still-beating, blood-dripping heart.

The heart steamed fiercely, thumping in the air.

[Lynn’s SAN value -10]

“Take it.” The old lady said hoarsely with a smile.
