I opened a clinic in the Abyss World

"system?"

The sudden sound startled Charlotte.

During his shifts between part-time jobs, he often reads online novels to pass the time, so he is quite familiar with the system.

Time travel plus a system—that's practically standard!

And what's more, there's even a cash reward for completing the task?!

Charlotte was anything but happy. Diana's gaze swept over her like she was eyeing a fat sheep, deciding which part to eat first.

【叮！黛安娜向你发布任务：选择一样物品，取悦并满足对方！完成任务奖励：1、交租日期宽限三日！2、铜币+100！3、好感度+10！任务失败：失去身体的某一部分！」】

[Do you accept? Yes! No!]

The cold, mechanical voice rang out again, quickly calming Charlotte down.

Offering oneself to a rich woman?

Charlotte didn't think her current frail body could please or satisfy the other person.

money?

What he lacks most is money!

Big eyeballs soaking in a jar?

Then he has to consider whether he can save his big eyeballs.

"Have you thought it through?" Diana licked her red lips, and a snow-white bone knife appeared in her hand without her noticing.

"Items to please and satisfy women!" Charlotte's mind raced, a fine layer of cold sweat beading on her forehead. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck her, and as Diana raised the bone knife, she blurted out, "I know what you need!"

"Hmm?" Diana stopped what she was doing.

"Wait a moment!" Charlotte turned around, silently accepting the mission in her mind, and quickly walked to the counter, taking out two bottles of pink potion from the top corner.

"You think two low-level potions will satisfy me?" Diana's words carried a hint of sarcasm. She had already decided to take Charlotte's right hand; his fingers were beautiful and would be perfect for making a lamp base.

Charlotte sensed a strong sense of crisis, but remained calm and said, "This is not an ordinary potion, but a moisturizing essence!"

"Hydrating essence?" Diana looked doubtful; she had never heard of such a potion before.

"Madam, you are so beautiful and charming. Your figure and looks are unmatched by any of the socialites in Calva. Even the most beautiful elves pale in comparison to you," Charlotte said with admiration.

Diana's lips curled slightly. She knew Charlotte was from Calva, quite knowledgeable, and had a pleasant voice.

Of course, these are all the truth.

  

"But even the most beautiful face needs careful care and maintenance to maintain its youthful radiance." Charlotte's expression suddenly turned serious as she looked at Diana's face with some regret. "Have you noticed your skin has been a bit dry when you wake up lately? And your complexion seems slightly duller than usual?"

"Dry and dull skin?" Diana was taken aback. Seeing Charlotte's serious expression, she subconsciously raised her slender fingers to brush her fair and delicate cheeks, and said somewhat unconfidently, "It seems a little drier than before, and my complexion doesn't seem as rosy as it used to be."

Charlotte's lips twitched. Diana's skin was the best he had ever seen on a woman—smooth, bright, delicate, and flawless.

But the more perfect a woman is, the more easily she falls into self-doubt and anxiety when questioned.

"Your feelings are correct. Your facial skin is constantly exposed to the elements, and the air in the abyss is full of dust and impurities, constantly corroding and damaging your delicate skin, making it fragile and sensitive." Charlotte's expression was solemn, as if she were announcing a terminal illness. "You wouldn't want your skin to become rough and your complexion dull and sallow, would you?"

"You mean I'm going to become a haggard old woman?" Diana's tone was tinged with anxiety.

"No, you are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen, it's just that you have a small problem with your skin." Charlotte shook her head. "This problem is not insurmountable."

"What method?" Diana asked almost out of the mouth.

Charlotte raised her hand and smiled, "My newly developed moisturizing essence can just solve your problem."

"That's it?" Diana looked at the pink lotion in the teardrop-shaped glass bottle, then at Charlotte's smiling face, and felt as if she had fallen into some kind of trap.

"Yes, you only need to apply a small amount of serum to your entire face, then gently massage it in until absorbed. Do this once a day to achieve the effect of skin care and moisturizing," Charlotte said confidently.

Diana sheathed the bone knife, took the lotion from Charlotte's hand, and said in a slightly cold tone, "If you're lying to me, I'll take your head and use it as a stool."

"Please try it out." Charlotte's expression was calm, but she was a little uneasy inside.

Upon opening the bottle, a faint floral fragrance wafted out. Diana poured out a few drops of the pink, milky serum and applied it evenly to her face.

The cool, moisturizing sensation spread across her face, and she felt as if her skin was breathing, greedily absorbing the moisture. It was also like being gently caressed and massaged by a pair of soft little hands, putting her into a relaxed state. She couldn't help but close her eyes to savor the feeling.

Charlotte looked at Diana, whose eyes were closed and whose lips were upturned, and the huge weight in his heart finally lifted. It seemed that he had made the right bet.

A moment later, Diana opened her eyes. She touched her cheeks with her fingers, which seemed to have become more supple. She then took out a jewel-encrusted mirror from somewhere and examined herself carefully for a while. Her face was smooth and radiant with a rosy glow.

I look absolutely gorgeous!

"An interesting potion, I am quite satisfied." Diana nodded approvingly and reached out to take another bottle of serum.

"That bottle of moisturizing essence you have is a gift for you. One bottle can be used for seven days. If you would like to buy another bottle, I can sell it to you at a 20% discount," Charlotte said with a smile.

Diana paused, her gaze towards Charlotte softening with admiration, and smiled, "You're very bold, but I like tenants like you."

"The original price is 800 copper coins, but if you want it, you only need to pay 640 copper coins," Charlotte said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"Deal." Diana handed seven silver coins to Charlotte, took another bottle of essence, and said, "Consider the rest a tip."

"Thank you." Charlotte nodded and accepted the gift without refusing.

"I'll be back in three days." Diana, holding the mirror, swayed away, her soft, alluring voice still echoing through the mist: "Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of them all...?"

Charlotte immediately turned and went inside, closing the clinic door behind her. While panting heavily, she didn't forget to count the silver coins she had received.

Since the end of the racial war a thousand years ago in order to resist the calamity of the Red Moon, the six powerful races unified the currency circulating on the continent of Aesop to facilitate trade.

The smallest form of currency was a copper coin, about the size of an adult human fingernail, made of brass.

One hundred copper coins can be exchanged for one silver coin, and one hundred silver coins can be exchanged for one gold coin.

The obverse of the silver coin features the six-ring symbol representing the alliance of the six races: dragons, elves, trolls, humans, orcs, and dwarves, along with a dove of peace encircled by the rings. The reverse depicts Kalvar, the free city built by the six races.

The silver coins, minted by the dwarven blacksmiths of Eisensteel, are almost identical in size and weight, have a smooth and delicate feel, and are stamped with special anti-counterfeiting marks, ensuring their stable circulation even in the chaotic abyss.

Charlotte carefully placed the seven silver coins and seven copper coins into her purse, then placed it close to her body. Charlotte felt a great increase in her sense of security.

[Ding! Diana's quest is complete. Rent payment date postponed by three days. Rewards: 100 Copper Coins! +10 Favorability with Diana!]

The system's voice sounded, and the money pouch on my chest felt noticeably heavier.

Charlotte quickly took out her money bag again, and the seven silver coins became eight.

The system reward will be credited directly to your account!

One task, two ways to make money, awesome!

Charlotte beamed with joy, feeling a sense of purpose and hope for the future.

However, Charlotte quickly calmed down, having cleverly gotten past Diana earlier.

The so-called moisturizing essence was a lie he made up; the bottle actually contained a failed healing potion that the original owner had concocted a few days ago.

However, the moisturizing effect is indeed remarkable. If he changes his approach and uses it as a skincare product, he can immediately turn waste into treasure.

Now he's even somewhat grateful that the original owner of this body wasn't a decent person.

Who keeps a diary if they're a decent person?

This hydrating essence might bring Charlotte a considerable income; women's money is obviously easier to earn than men's or dogs'.

"system?"

Charlotte tried calling out.

A virtual screen suddenly popped up in front of him.

Side Quest: Not yet triggered

[System Shop: Not yet open (can be unlocked when wealth points reach 10000)]

[Affection Panel: Not yet available]

Charlotte studied the panel carefully for a moment, ignoring her "trash" level and the luxurious magical skills she once possessed, and determined that she had the means to survive in this mysterious world.

Having had his magical abilities stripped away, he could no longer become a mage. The new main quest reward, however, was a new cultivation system?!

The system store is not open yet, so we don't know what good stuff it will have.

The most striking feature is obviously his wealth value, which seems to be directly linked to the amount of money in his pocket.

The key point is that this system actually pays out for tasks! They're incredibly generous, never delaying payment!

He can become stronger by treating patients!

He can become rich by completing the task!

He really loves this sense of stable happiness.

Boom boom boom!

There was another knock on the door.

Charlotte carefully tucked the money pouch into her body, then opened the door with a smile.

"Doctor, I'm dying, please save me..." A huge figure collapsed into the clinic.
