This is a mysterious different world.
Vampires, werewolves, technology, potions, ghosts, cyborgs, divination, whatever horror elements you can think of, this world has them.
You must light a lamp when you go out.
You can't go far.
Ten meters away from the gate, the darkness outside will swallow you.
No matter if the person who comes to see the doctor is a human, a ghost, or a stitched monster, you must remain calm.
If you don't calm down, it will be malicious to you.
In front of the shabby table,
Ryan held a feather pen and wrote in the diary the rules he had followed in the two years since he came to this world.
"Ryan! It's time, hang up the lights and get ready to open for business!"
A hoarse voice like chewing bones came,
Ryan shook his head.
This voice was the owner of their pharmacy, and also his teacher who rescued him two years ago,
and he was the clerk of this pharmacy in another world.
"Here it comes!" Ryan shouted.
But at this moment, a cold synthetic sound suddenly sounded in his mind.
[Ding! Your teacher, Blood Saw Maniac issues you a task: open for business, hang the Soul Lamp at the door.Completing the task you can get: Skull Coin x10, Basic Exp x5, Pure Human Blood x100mL ]
Ryan was shocked.
"This voice is... the system?"
"Could it be that after two years of traveling to this world, he finally awakened the golden finger?"
However, he did not study how to use it at that time, because he knew that if he did not act immediately according to his teacher's order, he would die.
Ryan quickly walked out of the dim attic.
He saw his teacher dragging a body of an unknown creature cut in half towards the operating room next door.
The scarlet blood dragged a long trail on the moldy floor...
"buzz-buzz"
"spurt" "squelch"
The harsh and disturbing noise of the saw was soon heard.
With a sickening sound of blood spurting,the hoarse chewing voice came again.
"After the opening, sort out all the expired medicines from yesterday and feed them to Sweetie in the backyard. Hurry up!"
[Ding! Your teacher, Blood Saw Maniac, has issued a task to you: sort out expired medicines and feed them to the Sweetie in the backyard. Rewards for completing the task: Skull Coin x10, Sweetie's Favorability -10, Housework Proficiency +1]
Ryan was stunned.
Sure enough.
He guessed right.
This should be his system.Could it be that it can visualize all the events he encountered into tasks?
Listening to the chewing sound coming from behind, Ryan's expression calmed down.
"Squeak--Squeak-"
The wooden board under his feet made a harsh sound of disrepair.
Ryan came to the front hall, picked up the oil lamp from the corner, twisted the spring, and drops of scarlet blood fell from the inside to the fire line.
"Whoosh"
A scarlet flame lit up.
If you listen carefully, you can hear the subtle and sharp screams coming from the inside of the oil lamp.
Ryan opened the door carefully ,with a composed expression on his face.
It was dark outside, and there seemed to be fog spreading.
Occasionally, you could hear mysterious giggles coming from the darkness...
He remained calm, hung the oil lamp on the doorpost, and illuminated the dilapidated sign next to it:
[Blood Saw's Pharmacy]
[Ding! You got 10 skull coins, 5 basic exp points, and 100 ml of pure human blood.]
Hearing this, Ryan immediately turned around and returned to the pharmacy.
But at this moment, a low and sinister laughter came from the darkness.
"Young man... Good morning, do you have some useless garbage to give to this old woman? I will give you some suitable rewards, hehe."
In the darkness.
A dim light came from the dim light, an old woman with a hunched body, wearing tattered linen came out pulling a cart.
There is a kind smile on its face.
But Ryan saw it clearly.
It was holding a lantern in its hand, which was made by human's skin .
The rusty cart that she was pulling was actually growing on its hand,and the handle of the cart was completely embedded in its flesh.
[Ding! The human skin scavenger issued an optional task to you: Give [Useless Garbage] to the scavenger, and the optional task completion reward: Scavenger Favorability +10,Skull Coin +20, Scavenger Reward x1]
Ryan remained calm.
"Okay, wait a moment."
He turned around quickly, walked back to the pharmacy, and grabbed two black bags from the door.
Indistinctly, he could smell the strong bloody stench coming from the bags, and something seemed to be struggling in the bags, making low groans.
Ryan calmly put the [useless garbage] on the old woman's cart,
"Thank you, young man, you are a kind person.hehe"
The smile on the old woman's face did not change.
She slowly stretched out her dry hands and dug out two bloody eyeballs from her eye sockets..
"Young man, this is my reward for you.hehehe"
[Ding! You have received the task reward: +10 favorability of scavengers, +20 skull coins!]
[Ding! You can choose to accept the reward given by the scavenger, or you can choose to refuse. If you refuse, the scavenger's favorability will be -50]
Ryan looked at the two steaming eyeballs, quietly reached out to take them, and said:
"I accept, thank you. " :l
The old woman smiled particularly brightly, but the two empty eye sockets were particularly creepy.
"Okay, nice!"
Then, under Ryan's gaze, the old woman pulled the cart and slowly disappeared into the darkness
[Ding! You have received the reward of the scavenger: 1 eyeball of the tailor shop owner, 1 eyeball of the pork shop owner, +20 favorability of the scavenger]
Ryan remained calm, but secretly breathed a sigh of relief and immediately returned to the pharmacy.
He knew from his teacher that the tailor shop cuts human skin and the pork shop sells human flesh, and they are just across the street from their pharmacy.
And the scavenger has the eyeballs of their two bosses in its hand.
This is another rule of this world that he has summed up.
[Never try to offend the walker in the dark. ]
Ryan turned around, forced his expression to be calm.
He sorted out the expired black and red medicines on the counter one by one, put them in the medicine box he carried with him, and turned to walk towards the backyard.
Passing by the operating room, the sound of cutting in the operation room was still in his mind.
Ryan knew,
At this time, he had better not disturb his teacher...
Ryan came to the backyard.
Opening the door of the cellar, a strong stench hit him instantly, as if it was the pungent smell of flesh and excrement that had been rotten for a long time.
"-Hiss--"
There were waves of weird sounds coming from the cellar.
Ryan knew that what was kept in this cellar was the Sweetie in what his teacher said, and as for what it actually was, no one could know except his teacher.
Ryan poured all the potions in the suitcase into the cellar
[Ding! You got 10 skull coins, the Sweetie's favorability -10, and the furniture proficiency +1]
"Ah-
Roar-"
Soon, a series of shrill and furious roars came from the cellar, and at the same time, a bloody smell came.
Ryan immediately closed the cellar door.
He breathed a sigh of relief.
This was his daily task every morning after he became a clerk in this pharmacy.
The most important and crucial point for him to survive was that he listened to his teacher carefully and did what he was told without asking why.
The disobedient clerk had already been dismembered by his teacher and fed to this Sweetie.
Ryan calmed down and asked tentatively:
"System?"
And in the next moment, a panel appeared in front of him...
