I opened a clinic in the Abyss World

With joining the Red Moon organization a done deal, Charlotte's current thought is how to make the most of this resource and escape the struggle for survival as soon as possible.

Everyone else in the group was a big shot to him.

Before getting to know each other, he decided to maintain a certain level of mystery, allowing more room for future interactions.

Revealing one's medical profession serves two purposes: demonstrating value and making it seem more natural when seeking help later.

[Technician: Doctor? What happened? Did the Judge just randomly choose a successor before he died?]

[The shepherd: This is definitely not his style.]

[Witch: You didn't pick up the black stone, did you?]

The group members expressed their doubts about Charlotte's statement.

Charlotte curled her lip. If the system hadn't offered an epic-level item as a lure, she wouldn't have bothered getting involved in this mess.

With a system at your fingertips, isn't it better to develop quietly?

As long as he stays calm and doesn't make any rash moves, he might actually become the best doctor on the continent of Aesop.

[The Hermit: The Judge intends to restart research on the 'Influence of the Red Moon on Demonized Creatures,' which is why he chose 'Miracle' as his successor. From today onwards, 'Miracle' officially becomes a member of the Red Moon.]

[The Light Chaser: I see. Not many doctors dare to take on this research. I've spoken with several top doctors in the capital, and they're all very reluctant to dissect magical beasts.]

[Witch: If I remember correctly, the Nolans, who proposed this research, were ostracized and suppressed in the medical community and died in an accident caused by a demonic surge. This research has been shelved for over a decade. Do you dare take on this task? Aren't you afraid of ruining your reputation? @Miracle]

Charlotte watched as everyone spoke, and it seemed that Joseph and the hermit were indeed quite close, probably having made arrangements for his affairs beforehand, including his future.

As for the witch's claim of disgrace, as a new generation of medical scum, what else could he possibly lose?

Now he was only curious about what the half of the mysterious beast skin Joseph had left him was, and whether it could really make him stronger again.

Surviving in the abyss without any means of self-defense is indeed anxiety-inducing.

It's so frustrating that even a healing mage like Vivian could rob him with just a knife.

However, he doesn't plan to ask directly in the group; it might be more appropriate to chat with the hermit privately later.

[Miracle: Only those with courage can create miracles. As a doctor, I have the judgment and the ability to take risks.]

What a beautiful reply.

Charlotte began to cultivate a persona of herself as a fearless hero.

[Businessman: You're so brave, you must be rich, right?]

[Miracle: Missing!]

Damn it! Charlotte wanted to retract her message, but unfortunately, that function wasn't available.

Charlotte covered her face and left the group chat. Years of poverty had given her strange muscle reactions.

Charlotte flipped the black stone over and placed it face down on the desk, then picked up the animal hide and examined it carefully under the light.

The white, smooth animal hide was completely opaque, and no matter the angle from which it was viewed, no martial arts manual could be found hidden within.

  

Charlotte picked up a glass of water and poured it onto the animal hide. The water droplets flowed off the hide without leaving a trace.

Watering didn't work, so Charlotte tried tearing, biting, pounding, sprinkling salt, and other methods, but the white animal hide remained unchanged.

"Are you going to burn it?"

Charlotte frowned as she looked at the white animal hide in her hand, lost in thought.

If the fire were to actually ignite the animal hide, Charlotte would miss a tremendous opportunity, and she would have nowhere to turn to cry.

[Miracle: Hermit, the Judge has given me a piece of white animal hide. What means do I need to obtain the information on it?]

Charlotte tried sending a private message to the Hermit.

Have you ever burned anything?

Charlotte paused for a moment upon seeing the message she received, then handed the animal hide in her hand directly to the burning oil lamp.

puff!

The tough animal hide burst into flames instantly, startling Charlotte into quickly letting go.

A cloud of white mist rose and churned rapidly, as if something was about to burst out.

Charlotte looked at the white mist with anticipation. If the judges valued it so much, it must be something good.

The white mist surged and condensed, eventually transforming into a face.

Charlotte looked at that familiar face and a sense of foreboding rose in her heart.

"Hehe, kid, didn't expect it to be me, did you?" The judge had a smug smile on his face.

"Why you? Didn't you say it was found in a mysterious cave?" Charlotte frowned.

"There aren't that many mysterious encounters in this world. Congratulations on joining Red Moon. Go for it, young man! Let courage create miracles, restart this world, let the elves return to the forest, let the orcs graze on the grasslands, and let the sirens embrace the ocean once more!"

Charlotte stared at the judge's gradually blurring face, her only thought at that moment being to download a national anti-fraud center app.

This is a scam!

The methods used were extremely despicable! The consequences will be extremely severe!

The white animal hide thrashed and burned to ashes in the flames, with some ashes floating in the air.

There are too many tropes in this other world, he wants to go back to Earth!

Charlotte's heart turned cold.

The so-called mysterious beast skin was just a little trick by the judge to trick him into investing.

After a long while, Charlotte finally recovered from her grief and anger. She glanced at the black stone on the table, which was still trembling slightly, and just wanted to find a place to bury it.

This is probably a den of thieves.

He wrapped the black stone in two old clothes and stuffed it into the corner of the bottom shelf.

Then Charlotte went upstairs to sleep.

He finally understood that there's no such thing as a free lunch; only by working hard and diligently can one become wealthy.

Patients are his bread and butter, and the cash rewards from the system are truly instantaneous.

Other vague and illusory things are not to be believed.

Get a good night's sleep to prepare mentally and physically for receiving patients tomorrow.

……

"What do you think of this young man the judges chose? Is he capable of shouldering such a great responsibility?"

"With the source of magic destroyed, there's nothing we can do about it. The Judge chose him probably out of old friendship. I tried to persuade him, but he insisted."

"He's always been good at judging people. Perhaps this little guy does have some talent. I'll go to the Abyss to see him in person in a few days."

"Alright."

In the City of Freedom, atop a suspended altar, an elf with white hair and beard placed a black square stone into his ring and sighed softly.

……

Charlotte got up early as usual, went out to buy bread for two people, and when she came back, Vivian was just coming downstairs with half-closed eyes and a slightly unsteady gait. When she saw the bread in Charlotte's hand, her sleepy eyes immediately lit up.

"Isn't that unnecessary? That bread tastes awful." Charlotte thought to herself, smiling as she handed over the bread. "This is breakfast. Eat it, then go upstairs, put on your wig, and remember your current identity: Eileen, the clinic's newly hired assistant from the Lion Tribe."
