Lynn's smile froze as his gaze fell upon the depths of the kitchen.
Gurgle—
Rich, aromatic scents of spices drifted from afar.
Lynn saw a massive figure standing over two ters tall stirring sothing with an iron ladle before a stove deep in the kitchen. The creature wore butcher's attire with a chef's hat on its head, its body exceptionally burly.
That tantalizing aroma made one's mouth water uncontrollably.
Lynn strode directly behind him.
The mont he approached, he heard the massive figure's raspy voice.
"Don't disturb . I'm brewing a pot of soup with an entirely new flavor. If you have business, wait until I've finished cooking."
Instantly, the creature's introduction appeared before Lynn's eyes.
【Pig-Headed Butcher: ???】
【Race】：Pig-Headed Demon
【Alignnt】：Lawful Evil
【Combat Ability】：???
【Introduction】：The Head Chef employed by Happy Ho. No creature knows where he truly cos from or why he ca here, but legends about him appear in strange tales across various worlds.

【System Notification: Please do not attempt to anger him. It will bring you no benefit.】
【System Notification: He values contracts but remains evil. However, during contract periods, he won't kill without reason.】
Lynn quickly scanned the introduction.
He swiftly regained composure, grinning widely:
"Apologies, I'm looking for soone nad Bai Yi, one of this household's mbers. The Female Host said he's with you, so I ca to verify."
Gurgle—
The Pig-Headed Butcher continuously stirred the thick soup in the pot, the aroma growing increasingly intense.
"If you an a young human male, then I know. Not long ago, that male puppet gave him to . He's now one of my ingredients."
Lynn grinned widely: "You don't seem like a mber of this large family."
The Pig-Headed Butcher stirred the soup calmly: "I accepted that little girl's generous employnt. For three days, I'm the Head Chef here."
Lynn bead brightly: "In that case, can we make a trade? I can exchange other things for that ingredient."
The Pig-Headed Butcher stirred the thick soup, tossing large amounts of spices into the pot, speaking indifferently:
"You want to drink my soup too?"
Lynn's smile stiffened.
Splash—
The Pig-Headed Butcher picked up the ladle, scooped so milky white thick soup, and poured it gulping into his mouth to taste.
The viscous soup dripped down his chin and tusks, falling to the ground drop by drop.
"Exchange is possible, but my soup still needs the final and most crucial seasoning. If you can help find it and bring it to , I'll make the exchange."
【Ding! You've triggered a special hidden quest: Pig-Headed Butcher's Ingredients】
【Quest Introduction】：Find suitable materials for the Pig-Headed Butcher to help him complete his thick soup recipe.
【Quest Rewards】：Pig-Headed Butcher's Favorability 10, Pig-Headed Butcher's Special Reward x1, Pig-Headed Butcher won't join punishnt against you.
Lynn said calmly: "Good, what kind of material do you need?"
The Pig-Headed Butcher said indifferently: "I need tissue from a high-tier creature. It must be sufficiently fresh, it must contain knowledge, it must hold enough resentnt. If you can find it, we can proceed with the transaction."
Saying this, the Pig-Headed Butcher turned back toward the stove, stirring his thick soup.
"You may leave now. Before finding it, don't casually touch anything in the kitchen. Don't make develop unnecessary malice toward you."
Lynn's eyes flickered.
He rapidly considered, expression turning serious.
First, he could confirm this Pig-Headed Butcher wasn't the sa one he encountered before. He rely accepted employnt and wasn't allied with Happy Ho.
aning.
He wouldn't accept orders from Happy Ho outside kitchen matters.
Second.
He was Lawful Evil.
aning he would follow so set of his own rules to commit evil, not completely insane like Chaotic Evil.
Third.
Was Bai Yi really boiling in that pot?
Lynn's eyes flashed as the soup's information appeared before him.
【Unfinished Strange Thick Soup】：Thick soup brewed by the Pig-Headed Butcher mixing various spices and fresh ingredients, containing so special flesh and blood that makes one's fingers twitch and mouth water.
Nothing conclusive.
Lynn's gaze intensified as he rapidly considered.
In that case, let's trade.
Sufficiently fresh, containing knowledge, containing resentnt.
Lynn frowned deeply.
Just at this mont, his Left Hand raised up, lowering its voice:
"Head, rember that Heart-Devouring Demon brain you were going to give your master? That might work?"
Lynn jolted in surprise.
Zuo Zuo's suggestion instantly connected all three requirents.
Yes.
Because it was stored in his system space, the brain remained sufficiently fresh!
Because he was the President of the Demonkin Association, he possessed boundless knowledge!
Because he was tricked and killed by Lynn himself, he held sufficient resentnt!
"Let's try it."
Lynn's expression turned serious as he strode behind the Pig-Headed Butcher.
"Found it so quickly?"
The Pig-Headed Butcher still didn't turn around, only his indifferent voice carrying over.
Lynn calmly adjusted his Monocle, then opened his system space from his chest, pulling out a blood-stained brain and presenting it before him.
"I believe this should et all the conditions you ntioned."
Hearing this, the Pig-Headed Butcher turned his head, allowing Lynn to truly see his appearance.
Above the burly body sat a wild boar's head, sharp spike-like teeth cramd into a rotting mouth, two long tusks extending like sharp barbs.
Those eyes brimd with chaos and evil.
The Pig-Headed Butcher rely glanced at him before focusing on the bloody brain in his hand.
Seemingly attracted.
He took the brain, carefully sniffing it.
Gently squeezing, he pressed out so pulpy fluid which he inhaled into his mouth.
Silence fell around them.
After ten-so seconds.
The Pig-Headed Butcher opened his eyes, licking his tusks:
"Indeed contains boundless knowledge, indeed filled with intriguing resentnt and malice. However, the ingredient isn't fresh, and contains so unnecessary pathological changes."
"But as the final seasoning for the soup, it will suffice."
Plop—
He tossed the brain into the boiling thick soup.
