The people of the Sharp Teeth Tribe were much more familiar with Jian Mo, and they excitedly expressed that they had long heard of his great name and had always wanted to meet him.

Jian Mo was unaware that his reputation had spread so far. Seeing the excitement of the Sharp Teeth Tribe, Jian Mo said, "If you ever feel unwell in the future, you can come to the Riverside Tribe to find me. I think our two tribes aren't that far apart."

The people from the Sharp Teeth Tribe said, "If needed, we will definitely make a trip. Doctor Jian Mo, we heard you can perform surgery, is that true?"

Jian Mo nodded, then added, "Surgery is relatively rare; most treatments involve medication."

The people of the Sharp Teeth Tribe said, "So, could your surgery involve giving the patient a drug that puts them to sleep, making the surgery painless?"

Jian Mo nodded again.

After receiving an affirmative answer, the members of the Sharp Teeth Tribe excitedly whispered among themselves.

They were talking too fast for Jian Mo to hear what they were saying.

Just as Jian Mo was wondering, a young orc suddenly leaned his large head closer. "In that case, could you help us get a painless ear piercing?"

Jian Mo: "Huh?"

When someone asked, the people of the Sharp Teeth Tribe immediately started talking:

"Our tribe has a tradition of getting ears pierced, but Song Lu's skills are terrible. The ear piercings he does are so painful that I don't dare to go to him anymore."

"Song Lu was alright, but Ba Bu's ear piercings were really painful."

"It's infuriating to think about it. Last time I got my ears pierced, they were sore for a month, and by the time they healed, the piercing had closed up completely."

The people of the Sharp Teeth Tribe looked at Jian Mo expectantly. "Doctor Jian Mo, don't you have that kind of anesthetic? Could you anesthetize us before getting our ears pierced?"

How much compensation do you want? More is fine too.

Jian Mo frowned. "Using anesthetic to get your ears pierced is such a waste."

The people of the Sharp Teeth Tribe said, "How about you give us less anesthetic? Just enough to ease the pain."

Jian Mo: "Even without anesthesia, the earlobe area shouldn't hurt too much when you get it pierced. Just make sure to disinfect it, and it shouldn't get infected afterwards."

The people of the Sharp Teeth Tribe simply didn't believe it.

Jian Mo didn't care whether they believed her or not; she was unwilling to give in and waste time on such a trivial matter as anesthetics.

He didn't bring much anesthetic this time, and he didn't know what would happen later or whether there would be enough. He certainly couldn't waste it.

Jian Mo's attitude was very firm.

The members of the Sharp Teeth Tribe whispered among themselves for a moment, and finally said, "Doctor Jian Mo, why don't you do the ear piercings for us? It's really painful for Song Lu and Ba Bu to get their ears pierced."

Jian Mo looked at them. "I've never been hit before, so I can't be sure it won't hurt."

The people of the Sharp Teeth Tribe: "Then we're willing to take the gamble."

Jian Mo thought about it and thought it was a good idea, "If you don't mind, then it's fine. As for the reward, can we exchange it for your onions?"

The people of the Sharp Teeth Tribe readily agreed, "No problem, we'll go gather them tomorrow. If you'd like, you can come with us. If it's inconvenient for you to carry them, we'll deliver them to the Riverside Tribe."

Jian Mo was overjoyed. "Then it's settled. I'll make some preparations. You guys find someone to try it out first. If it goes well, then the others can come to me."

The orc who had brought his large head close to Jian Mo immediately raised his hand. "I can, I'm willing to be the first to try."

Jian Mo nodded. "Then I'll get my things first. What's your name?"

The orc grinned. "Ba Bu."

Jian Mo: "... The person who makes it so painful to get someone's ears pierced?"

The people of the Sharp Teeth Tribe burst into laughter, accusing, "It was him!"

Ba Bu: "Our skills are a bit lacking; we'll have to learn properly this time."

Jian Mo's lips twitched slightly. "Okay, fine."

This time, Jian Mo brought out a small bottle of high-proof liquor, which was distilled from Flour Fruit and then repackaged. It tasted quite bad, but its disinfecting effect was pretty good.

He specifically found a medium-sized metal needle, boiled it in a pot to sterilize it, and then poured alcohol onto a cloth and carefully wiped Ba Bu's earlobes.

Ba Bu grimaced from the cold alcohol.

People watching from a few meters away asked, "How are you? Does it hurt?"

Ba Bu: "It doesn't hurt, it's cool and refreshing, and a little spicy."

Bystanders: "Why is it spicy? Is it scallion water?"

Wearing gloves and a mask, Jian Mo was focused on disinfecting when she heard this and said, "It's not scallion water, it's alcohol. If you don't have alcohol, you can wipe it with concentrated salt water in the future; that will also have a certain disinfecting effect."

Ba Bu nodded to indicate that he understood.

Jian Mo quickly pinched his ear. "Don't move."

Ba Bu lay stiffly on the stool, unaware of what Jian Mo was doing, only feeling Jian Mo rubbing his ears, which seemed to hurt quite a bit.

He didn't know how much time had passed when he suddenly felt something pinch his ear.

He stared wide-eyed Jian Mo had already put the metal needle back from her hand and casually hung the bone earring that Ba Bu had prepared on his earlobe.

"Alright," Jian Mo said. "Don't touch your earlobes for the next couple of days, and don't take your earrings out. In a few days, the piercing should be done."

Ba Bu's eyes widened in disbelief. "That's it?!"

Jian Mo: "Yes. You can use this procedure to get others' earrings done in the future. Remember to disinfect during the process, especially the earrings. They must be boiled in boiling water to disinfect them, otherwise they are very easy to get infected and inflamed."

Everyone else standing nearby found it unbelievable.

"Is that all?"

"That's way too easy. That guy cried so much when he got his ears pierced that the cave almost collapsed. It took several people rushing over to hold him down."

"If it weren't for my pride, I would have run away from getting my ears pierced in the first place."

Before anyone could reach a conclusion, someone couldn't resist stepping forward and asking, "Doctor Jian Mo, could you give me an injection too?"

Jian Mo nodded. "Okay. I'll do it for you after I finish hitting Ba Bu's other ear."
