Lynne widened his eyes. Without a second word, he quickly opened the counter and took out a high-quality amplification potion carefully researched by his teacher from the cupboard.

"Please try this one, I absolutely guarantee your satisfaction this time," Lynne said seriously.

[Top-Level Berserk Potion: Can greatly enhance all-round abilities and make the target enter a berserk state.]

He placed the bottle of blood-red potion on the table. Without a doubt, this potion is definitely the best and top-quality medicine at the bottom of their Bloodsaw Potion Shop!

The Black Knight reached out and grabbed the potion, drinking it in one gulp. Instantly, a red light flashed on him, and strands of blood red faintly appeared in his eyes, obviously a reaction from the potion taking effect.

[Ding! Crisis Level 20%]

"Minimal effect." The Black Knight casually threw away the potion bottle, speaking hoarsely: "This potion might be useful for those weaker creatures, but for me, it can be basically neglected."

"…"

Lynne, with wide eyes, quickly took out another high-quality potion from below the counter, saying: "Then try this one!"

"Trash!"

[Crisis Level 30%]

"How about this one?!"

"For hemorrhoids."

[Crisis Level 40%]

"This is absolutely the best!"

"It's expired!"

[Crisis Level 60%]

"…"

Several minutes later, Lynne solemnly looked at the multitude of empty bottles on the counter and then at the Black Knight, who was obviously getting a bit impatient. Clearly, for a Black Knight of this level, the potions sold in their potion shop simply couldn't meet his requirements.

[Crisis Level 91%]

Lynne's heart was also becoming somewhat anxious. This seemingly simple task's actual danger was definitely not inferior to those he had done before.

"It seems that this shop can't come up with any better potions," The Black Knight lifted his head and crunched his neck a few times, speaking hoarsely: "You are wasting my time."

[Ding! Crisis Level 95%]

"Wait!" Seeing the crisis level was about to explode, Lynne reached out his hand, adjusted his glasses, and calmly said: "There is one more potion in our shop that I believe will definitely meet your requirements, but I don't have it ready; I need to concoct it on the spot! Can you wait for a while? I promise it will be the best potion!"

The Black Knight spoke hoarsely, "Oh?"

Lynne calmly said, "If you are still not satisfied with this potion, you can cut me down on the spot!"

[Ding! Crisis Level reduced by 5%]

A hint of interest appeared in the Black Knight's gleaming eyes. He indifferently said: "Really? Fine, I'll give you half an hour to concoct it. Like you said, if it can't satisfy me, I will cut you down."

"Alright!" Lynne said seriously.

Lynne quickly rushed to the backyard. Without a second word, he directly took out the recipe awarded for treating the Origin-level creature from the system space.

[Critical Strike Potion]

[Quality: Special]

[Materials: Origin-level Creature Tissue x1, Burst Fruit x1, Hell Clover x4, Black Bat Wing x1, etc.]

[Description: A potion that can greatly increase the critical strike rate, but it also brings some negligible strange side effects…]

The reward for treating an Origin-level creature. This is definitely the best potion he could come up with.

"I can only hope for the best. The potion recipe awarded by the system should absolutely be better than any other potions in this world!"

Lynne's expression was serious. He quickly dashed into the warehouse, searching for the various concoction materials needed for the potion. Most of the materials were available in the master's warehouse. And even the hardest to acquire material, the Origin-level creature's tissue, he had.

When he was fixing teeth for the headhunter last night, he had obtained a large amount of tooth fragments and the creature's oral mucus. He kept all of these. These were absolutely top-notch materials.

After preparing the materials, Lynne quickly rushed to the alchemy room in the backyard. Ready to start concocting! His alchemy level wasn't very high, but being immersed in his master's knowledge for two years, his skills had greatly improved.

"Start concocting!"

[Ding! You have ground the medicinal powder, Alchemy Experience +1]

[Ding! You have extracted the juice of Burst Fruit, Alchemy Experience +1]

[Ding! You have purified the Slime Mucus, Alchemy Experience +1]

Gurgling–

In front of the large vat, Lynne was stirring the viscous fluid, which was constantly bubbling mysteriously, with a stick.

Flames were blazing.

Lynne wore a mask, his expression serious.

"First put in the Black Bat Wings, then the Fangs of the Man-Faced Spider."

[Ding! You have added potion material, Alchemy Experience +1]

[Ding! You have added potion material, Alchemy Experience +1]

Boom–

The large vat of potion instantly turned from white to purple, bubbling and producing one skull after another.

Lynne stood indifferently in front of the vat, continuously stirring. The potion in the vat was constantly changing between various colors like red, blue, black, and purple.

Time passed swiftly. Soon, twenty minutes passed in a flash.

[Ding! You have concocted Critical Strike Potion x1, Alchemy Experience +10]

[Ding! You have concocted Critical Strike Potion x1, Alchemy Experience +10]

[Ding! You have concocted Critical Strike Potion x1, Alchemy Experience +10]

Accompanied by the system prompts, Lynne quickly poured the potions into empty bottles, placing them rapidly on the shelf. A total of ten bottles of Critical Strike Potion! This also instantly gave him an additional 100 points of alchemy experience.

[Critical Strike Potion: For humanoid entities only. It can increase the target's critical strike rate by 100%, but it has some minor side effects…]

"Whether I can get through this hurdle depends on the effect of this potion!"

Lynne's expression was serious.

In the hall.

Lynne seriously pushed the black-red Critical Strike Potion in his hand in front of the Black Knight. He adjusted his monocle, saying seriously: "Critical Strike Potion, the latest high-quality potion launched by our store. You are the first customer for this potion. Whether it's effective or not, you are the judge!"

The Black Knight glanced at the unadorned potion. He played with it in his hand and said indifferently: "Are you sure this is the best potion here? You better think it over, if this potion still does not meet my standards, I will, according to our agreement, kill you."

Lynne calmly said: "I absolutely guarantee your satisfaction!"

But actually, Lynne wasn't sure. After all, he had no exact understanding of how this potion was. But at this time, he really could only trust the quality of the system.

Pop–

The Black Knight opened the wooden stopper on the potion bottle. Immediately, a faint pungent smell lingered out, and the moment the Black Knight smelled this scent, he was taken aback.

Stinky! Obviously, the taste was not going to be good. But what was surprising was that just by smelling this medicinal scent, he felt a strong reaction from the power surging within his body. And for him, who had been taking potions for many years. He hadn't felt this sensation for many years.

Black Knight became serious. He picked up the potion, opened his mouth, and drained it in one gulp.

Hum–

Almost at that instant, he immediately felt an extremely bitter and hot flow rumbling into his body.

"This…this kind of power!"

He trembled as he looked at his own arms and stood up abruptly. He had felt it. He distinctly felt the power within his entire body roaring! This potion was like a wild, aged lady, dancing seductively and fervently within his body, causing his blood vessels to burst open in exclamation!

"Roar——"

He howled in ecstatic pain, head raised towards the sky. The armor upon his body shattered explosively with a bang, hairs were swirling in the air, revealing the pale and explosive tendons and muscles beneath. He struck the air with a fist.

Boom——

A sonic boom exploded forth directly from the air. He was astounded by his own power, feeling as if each of his attacks could land a massive critical strike on the enemy, wildly incomparable.

"What a potent potion!" He gasped, saying: "I've traversed through hell for many years, never have I stumbled upon a potion that could elevate my combat power this much! Too powerful!"

[Ding! Crisis Level reduced to 0%]

Suddenly, he turned, his eyes ablaze as he looked at Lynne and said: "What is this potion? Its effects are so explosive?!"

Lynne, with a faint smile and a thumbs up, said: "Our shop's specialty! Critical Strike Potion!"

"Critical Strike Potion..." The Black Knight murmured the name of the potion again, his eyes progressively turning more fervent. "Remarkable... I never thought that there would actually be such a high-intensity potion in this godforsaken place. With this potion's aid, I should be able to crush that demon hunter..."

He vowed this was absolutely the most explosive potion he had ever consumed. Such a genuine enhancement to combat power was an unparalleled pursuit for a warmonger like him!

Lynne, with a serious expression, hesitantly said: "Sir, although the effects of this potion are indeed explosive, in a responsible manner, I still have to remind you that this potion might actually produce some minor side effects... But what type of side effects specifically, remains to be investigated."

In the end, Lynne decided to remind the Black Knight once more.

"Side effects?" The Black Knight snapped back to reality, the corners of his mouth curving into a cold smirk, and said, "Heh heh, indeed, a potion capable of nearly doubling my combat power instantaneously is bound to come with some adverse reactions! But it matters not! Can any side effect be more dreadful than death?"

The corners of his mouth twitched slightly upward. It was at this moment, a gust of wind blew in from outside the door. His extremely attractive long hair began to dance wildly with the wind. And then... It flowed smoothly from his head, drifting away.

"..."

"..."

Lynne's gaze became vacant instantly, saying, "Sir, it seems like the side effects have already appeared..."

The Black Knight raised an eyebrow, "Oh?"

Lynne stared, "Your head..."

The Black Knight raised an eyebrow, subconsciously reached out, and touched the shining white beautiful long hair on his head.

Swish——

An incomparably smooth sensation. The pupils of the Black Knight instantly contracted. A surge of immense unrest rose swiftly in his heart.

Could it be...

He subconsciously looked towards the mirror beside him.

Hum——

His gaze instantly became hollow. In the mirror, a shiny, glistening bald head brightly appeared in his vision. The smoothness of the light, the completeness of the light, the brightness of the light.

Ding——

A trace of a dazzling halo even flashed on that bald head.

"..."

"..."

An eerie silence unscrupulously spread around.

"Where is my hair?" The Black Knight said blankly.

Lynne, with wide eyes, said, "On the ground..."

"Is this the side effect you spoke of?" The Black Knight muttered.

Lynne, with wide eyes, said, "It seems so..."

"..."

A brief silence.

"I'll kill you!!" The Black Knight, in an instant, grabbed Lynne by the collar, humiliated and furious, his anger reaching the crown of his head.

Ding ding ding——

The smooth bald head, along with his movements, flickered with waves of halos.

Lynne became frantic as well, saying, "You said you're not even afraid of death, so what's to fear about this minor side effect?!"

The Black Knight's eyes were nearly bursting with rage, "But you never said it would cause baldness!!"

Lynne stared wide-eyed, "Though you indeed have gone bald, you've also become stronger! It's merely a small price to pay for power!"

The Black Knight, gritting his teeth, let go of Lynne's collar, breathing heavily in quick succession. His gaze was intensely flickering, a struggle ongoing within his heart.

Indeed, for a warrior in pursuit of formidable power, baldness really wasn't something unbearable.

Ding——

The effect of this potion was indeed astonishing; the almost doubled boost after consumption was absolutely a top-notch potion.

Ding ding——

And even if he's bald, so what? As a Black Knight, would he care about these?

Ding ding ding——

Right! It's just hair loss, right? Compared to true power, what is this?

Ding ding ding ding——

But... He pointed furiously at the constantly shiny, ding-ding-dinging bald head in the mirror and roared: "I can tolerate being bald! But why does it have to shine!! A light bulb?! Have you ever seen anyone's head ding-ding-ding and flashing lights at you?!"

On his smooth, glistening forehead, it seemed to have some sort of special effect. Every few seconds, a streak of bright light would flash by. Extremely eye-catching. This really was something that messed with one's mind!

Lynne wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and calmly said: "Sir, please keep calm; this might be one of the side effects as well. And it's just flashing, isn't it? Adding some special effects, doesn't it make you stand out even more?"

The Black Knight kept grinding his teeth, clenching his fists crack, his gaze flickering intensely. Corresponding to this, were the flashes of light shining every few seconds on his shiny, gleaming forehead.

"How much per bottle!" he gritted his teeth.

Lynne immediately raised a finger solemnly, "1000 skull coins, absolutely worth the value."

"How many more potions like this do you have?"

"Including the one you've drunk, a total of ten bottles."

"I'll take them all!"

The Black Knight slapped the counter, his expression gloomy.

Lynne was taken aback. "Weren't you extremely disgusted by the side effects of this potion?"

The Black Knight grabbed Lynne's collar in a whoosh, his eyes nearly bursting as he roared: "I'm already bald like this, do you think I would be afraid of getting even balder?! Pack them up for me! If you dawdle, I'll kill you!"

...

A few minutes later.

[Ding! You've completed the task, and you've received the task rewards: 200 Skull Coins, Experience +200, Black Knight's rate of turning back +1]

Lynne stood at the entrance of the potion shop, waving at the Black Knight who was galloping away on his horse, shouting: "Sir, welcome to visit again! If you need similar potions next time, I can give you a 1% discount!"

The sound of horse hooves gradually distanced within the dark mist. But one could faintly see that every one or two seconds, a point of light would flash with a ding in the depths of the dark mist. Extremely striking.

...

Dozens of minutes later, in the dark and desolate hell wasteland. A demon hunter wearing a high hat slowly walked out of the darkness, the muzzle of his gun slightly tipping the brim of his hat. The wild wind was whipping his robe.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time, Black Knight." The demon hunter's mouth curled up slightly, saying deeply: "I thought you had fled in fear, daring not to come to fight."
