In about ten minutes.
[Clink!] You've completed the task and earned 50 Skull Coins, +50 Surgery Skill Experience, and +1 Special Reward.
[Beep! Due to an unforeseen event, the Pighead Demon's好感度 has turned into fear. Its fear value increases by 50.]
The pig-headed demon shivered uncontrollably, sitting there with a vacant expression.
Across the counter, Lynn sat calmly in a white coat, her quill pen poised as she meticulously wrote her medical report.
He pushed a small dose of the medicine out.
"Take half orally and half topically, twice daily at fixed times. After about two days, your eyes will begin to regain vision. Of course, if you want a faster-acting formula, the price will be ten times higher."
"Pay up. You've already covered the surgery, medication, nursing, and eye surgery costs—totaling 546 Skull Coins. If you're done, just sign here."
Lynn lifted her head, her eyes wide as dead fish, and said kindly:
"Pressing a fingerprint is also acceptable."
The pig-headed demon shakily reached out his hand and pressed a fingerprint on the report.
With trembling hands, he pulled out a large coin purse from his robe, placed over five hundred skull coins on the counter, and said:
"Can I go now?"
Lynn tapped the coins.
He looked up, his gaze settling on the pig-headed demon's bulging money pouch.
But the next moment, his gaze was drawn to his bulging belly.
[Click! You've triggered the Hidden Pighead Demon Quest. Abnormal belly. Rewards: Skull Coins +50, Surgery Skill Experience +50, and Ophthalmoscopy enabled.]
The pig-headed demon turned and was about to leave.
Lin En suddenly reached out his hand and stopped him, saying, "Wait a moment!"
The pig-headed demon's body trembled involuntarily.
"What's wrong with that?!"
He turned around and happened to see Lynn adjusting her single-framed glasses. The lens clattered onto the table, but he calmly picked it up and pressed it back into place.
[San value-1]
Lynn shook her head and said, "I've noticed some new issues in your body. If left undiagnosed, they could have unknown effects on your health."
The pig-headed demon, baring his fangs, growled, "Don't try to fool me! I hate it when people deceive me!"
Lin En said solemnly, "I'm a doctor, and I don't lie. Anyone who enters my clinic is my patient, and I must be responsible for their health. If I notice a problem but don't tell you, that's true medical malpractice."
Looking into Lynn's serious and earnest eyes.
The Pighead Demon finally sat back down on the counter bench with great reluctance, hesitantly saying:
"Where is the problem? I feel healthy."
Lin En put on a mask and said, "Reach out, I'll take your pulse."
The pig-headed demon hesitantly placed his arm, covered in pig hair, on the counter.
Finally, I believe him again.
Lynn's expression remained calm as she placed her hand on his pulse, carefully feeling it.

Slowly, the pig-headed demon noticed Lynn's brows furrowed, and his heart sank to his throat in an instant.
"Is there really a big problem?" he asked nervously.
The last thing he wants is a doctor frowning at him.
Because it's definitely not a good thing.
Lynn retracted her hand, raised her head solemnly to the Pighead Demon, and frowned as she said:
The problem is neither small nor large, it all depends on how it is handled.
The pig-headed demon exclaimed nervously, "What's the problem?"
Lynn said solemnly, "It's an ectopic pregnancy."
"..."
"..."
A brief silence, followed by gusts of cool wind blowing in from outside the door.
In the next heartbeat, the pig-headed demon roared, grabbed Lynn by the collar, and hoisted him up in a rage, bellowing:
What kind of joke is this, you quack! Are you trying to fool me? I'll give you another chance to put it together!
Lynn looked calm.
He adjusted his eyes and said solemnly:
"The pulse tells me so, and there's no way wrong. Trust my medical expertise."
The pig-headed demon growled, "My pulse is like you (beep) a (beep)!! Let me say it again! I'm a boar!!"
Lynn nodded and said solemnly, "That's why it's called an ectopic pregnancy. If it's confirmed, it would be even more serious—you'd need to undergo more complex gender-reassignment surgery, which would place a heavier burden on you."
"..."
"..."
The pig-headed demon shook off the collar of Lin En and plopped down on the bench.
What are you thinking?
"I'm thinking about how to chop you up!" The pig-headed demon with demonic eyes gnashed his teeth in fury, his face twisted with shame.
"Don't think about the useless stuff."
Lynn adjusted her collar, sat down at the counter, and quietly took out the medical record, then said:
"Have you recently experienced abdominal bloating, nausea, loss of appetite, or bleeding?"
The pig-headed demon slammed the table, suppressing his trembling and humiliation, and snapped, "Tell me how I got this blood! How did I end up bleeding like this? (gnashing his teeth)!"
Lynn kept writing, adjusting her eyes, and said:
"Please don't get emotional, it's just a routine inquiry. Have you experienced any other symptoms besides the bleeding mentioned below?"
The pig-headed monster gritted his teeth and glared, "So what if it shows up? Won't you let me eat my fill?"
Lynn adjusted her gaze and shot him a quick glance. "How long have you been here?"
The pig-headed monster grunted, "A month!"
Lynn kept taking notes, her voice calm. "When was the last time you did xx? Do you have any bad habits, like excessive exercise or using inappropriate tools?"
The pig-headed demon stood there, his arms trembling uncontrollably, and said, "Try asking one more question?"
"Clearly, they are extremely angry about this issue.
Lin En calmly reached out to stop him, saying, "Alright, I won't ask about this. Let's move on to the next question."
During your last xx activity, did you notice anything unusual below...
Lynn frowned and made a gesture of rage, saying, "Like the agony of being torn apart?"
This time, the pig-headed demon really couldn't hold back anymore.
He grabbed Lynn by the collar and roared in fury:
"I've been fucking with you for a long time!"
"Can you translate for me what 'tearing pain' means?! What?! Is it 'tearing pain'?!?"
Lynn reached out, gently stroking his chest, and shook her head.
Don't worry, further confirmation requires professional equipment. This is standard procedure for a doctor, and it's all for your health and well-being!
"I don't think you want to get sick yourself, do you?"
The pig-headed demon snorted violently through his nostrils, his chest heaving wildly as his face burned with rage, but was finally subdued by Lynn's soothing words.

Lynn adjusted her collar once more, set down her pen, and gave him a quick glance before shaking her head.
Lin En quickened her voice: "There's another possibility—you might have accidentally ingested something with supernatural power, causing it to distort inside you and create the illusion of pregnancy!"
