Learn one small skill every day

Despite the long interval this time, it's only been less than two hours...

Does this mean that if I am in the midst of an event, the flow of time will slow down until the event is finished?

Just after six o'clock, Bai Miao rushed to Delis's house without stopping.

Delis sat in front of the sewing machine, her eight legs taking turns pedaling, her hands deftly feeding the fabric into the machine.

"You're here so early."

Delis stopped what she was doing: "Did you hear the noise outside last night? It was terrifying, the hunters are here again."

"I heard. I even treated a hunter last night. I came today to ask you how much Mr. Wolf's pelts cost?"

Delis revealed her sharp, irregular teeth, looking quite surprised.

"You can heal hunters' injuries! I've heard that hunters' injuries are very serious, and they need blood transfusions, which must cost a lot of money, right?"

Bai Miao replied vaguely, "I guess I can make a little money. You know, the clinic's expenses are quite high."

“That’s true… Would you like to buy Mr. Wolf’s fur to make clothes? If you have the fur, I can try to make the kind of leather armor that hunters wear. It’s warmer and has some defensive capabilities.” Delis said with some longing, “I’ve always wanted to try out the texture of the fur that Mr. Wolf sells, but unfortunately Mr. Wolf doesn’t provide samples.”

"If you were to use fur for this set, it might cost three bloodstones. If you make it for me, I won't charge you extra for processing."

"Good, if you can handle these furs, it will be a great help."

After Bai Miao inquired about the price, he felt more confident.

It's not expensive.

Mr. Wolf lived near the butcher shop, and the house was surrounded by weeds that looked like they hadn't been tended to in a long time.

Bai Miao placed three bloodstones on the windowsill, and after a while, he saw a furry giant claw reach out from the dark room and quickly snatch the bloodstones back.

Bai Miao estimated that the owner of this claw must be at least three or four meters tall.

How did they manage to fit this room in?

After a while, a piece of jet-black fur was placed on the windowsill by that giant claw.

Bai Miao took the fur and mustered his courage to say inside, "Mr. Wolf... I am an assistant at the Plague Doctor's Clinic. When the doctor is out on a house call, I can also take care of some simple surgeries and treatments. If you need anything, you can come to me. We are neighbors, and I can give you a discount."

Bai Miao was met with a long silence.

Wolf did not seem inclined to speak to Bai Miao.

The butcher looked unwell today; he seemed to have lost a lot of weight.

"You've lost weight!"

After Bai Miao finished buying the meat for the day, he asked.

"I've been selling too much at once lately, I might need to take a break..."

The little blue eyes on the mountain of flesh looked tired.

"What's wrong? I know a little about medicine, I can take a look at you."

"you sure?"

Flesh Mountain's expression brightened, but then he said warily, "You, you're not trying to trick me, are you?"

"What benefit would I get from lying to you? Open the door, I'll come to your home to examine your condition, and I won't charge you a house call fee."

Bai Miao was somewhat addicted to being a doctor. The feeling of practicing medicine without a license and treating patients haphazardly, plus the fact that the patients were all incredibly resilient and he didn't have to worry about killing them, was just too great.

(Third Update) Chapter Thirteen: Healing the Mountain of Flesh

After Bai Miao entered the house of the flesh mountain, he smelled a familiar scent.

The smell was exactly the same as the one he had smelled in the basement.

Even more than that.

Fortunately, Bai Miao had already gotten used to the various strange smells in Abyss Street, and his nose had become numb.

Only with Ms. Luna could the nose find some peace.

Why don't we go there every day to play a piece of music and build a connection?

What symptoms have you been experiencing lately?

The mountain of flesh almost filled the room, leaving Bai Miao nowhere to sit. He could only stand inside, facing the mountain of flesh that was almost touching him.

"I've been feeling a bit tired lately, and Bloodstone doesn't seem so appealing anymore."

Eating raw bloodstone?

Bai Miao did not comment on this behavior.

"Anything else?"

"Then, with too much meat being sold recently, I found that it couldn't grow back."

Meat Mountain was a little distressed: "I've already lost several hundred pounds."

"Isn't it better to be thinner?"

Losing hundreds of pounds... you must have weighed tens of tons before.

"This is bad. If I lose weight, people will want to eat my bones. Right now, you're all buying my meat. If I have no meat to sell, then I'll only be able to sell bones."

The little eyes of the meat mountain were full of worry: "I sell meat, how can I survive without meat on my body?"

"Um... I understand your situation pretty well."

"So, what kind of illness do I have?"

Bai Miao couldn't figure out what was wrong either.

Bai Miao really didn't know about this one, which had no obvious wounds.

Although it possesses some medical skills, human medical knowledge is not applicable to this monster.

Wait a minute, does this guy have internal organs?

"I want to touch you and check you out."

When Bai Miao was about to put his hand over, the mountain of flesh trembled and moved backward a short distance.

"Don't come any closer! You're not trying to steal my meat, are you?"

"I'm a legitimate doctor, and I run a legitimate business." Bai Miao was speechless. This guy was so fierce when they first met, how come he's such a coward?

"Okay... then you can touch it."

Bai Miao placed his hand on the mountain of flesh, and a warm current slowly emanated from it.

It feels completely different from the cold touch of meat you buy.

Bai Miao could sense that every piece of meat on the mountain of flesh seemed to possess life.

Bai Miao gently tapped the mountain of flesh a few times.

[Triggered internal organ critical strike]

Hmm? It really does contain internal organs.

However, because Bai Miao's attack power was too weak, even if he attacked the internal organs and triggered the skill, it did not cause any damage to the Mountain of Flesh.

However, this allows Bai Miao to determine where the internal organs are located in the mountain of flesh.

"Can you move it? Move every part in front of me, and then I'll check them one by one."

Bai Miao couldn't check the bottom and back of the mountain of flesh, so he had to let it move on its own.

"Can……"

The mountain of flesh moved according to Bai Miao's instructions, changing the position of each piece of flesh on its body.

"Ouch...it hurts...it hurts..."

Just as Bai Miao triggered the fourth internal organ critical hit, the Mountain of Flesh cried out in pain.

"Yes, right here. You feel pain? What part of your body is this?"

"This is my stomach..."

"Oh, now I know what's wrong with you. You have an upset stomach. Have you eaten anything unclean recently?"

"I recently...ate a hunter."

"???"

Bai Miao subconsciously took a few steps back.

Damn, that's intense?

Even hunters can eat it?

This mountain of flesh looks so cowardly, but it turns out he's a ruthless person?

Bai Miao quickly adjusted his mindset.

It's alright. This mountain of flesh is afraid of the plague doctor and won't dare to harm himself. Besides, I'm treating him right now!

"Prepare for surgery. I need to see what's in your stomach."

Upon hearing about surgery, Rou Shan trembled all over: "No, no surgery."

"I'll just give you my stomach."

As it spoke, the mountain of flesh writhed, and soon a red and yellow thing covered in a lot of mucus was squeezed out from the white mountain of flesh.

Bai Miao frowned as he looked at it.

Oh right, this art style matches Abyss Street perfectly...

Bai Miao forced himself to open the stomach sac, enduring the stench. A warm, moist vapor wafted out, causing Bai Miao to momentarily lose his senses.

I almost passed out from the stench!

At this moment, [Moonlight] emitted a faint white light, and Bai Miao's mind quickly returned to normal.

The stomach was practically a general storeroom.

Many undigested bloodstones, along with a whole bunch of other random things, floated in the stomach acid.
