I opened a clinic in the Abyss World

Charlotte remained silent for a long time before finally nodding: "Alright, starting tomorrow, insulin will be priced at 100 copper coins per injection."

From 1000 copper coins to 100 copper coins, this cut went right up to the ankle.

However, Charlotte respected Vivian's choice and agreed to the price.

Of course, there is another important reason: the clinic's pharmaceutical business is booming, and the sales of first aid kits and Golden Energy Potions make him less eager to pursue profit growth in insulin.

As Vivian said, the cost of a single vial of insulin is less than 5 copper coins, which already includes the cost of the vial.

Diabetic patients need to use one insulin injection every day. If this drug can be promoted to more diabetic patients, the daily consumption will be a huge number, which will also bring considerable profits.

"Boss, you're so kind!" Vivian practically leaped into Charlotte's arms, her little face filled with excitement and disbelief.

When she decided to share her ideas with Charlotte, she was prepared to face his ridicule and rejection, after all, he was such a profit-driven person.

To my surprise, he actually agreed!

"Alright, let's get started purifying insulin. They'll definitely buy more when the price drops tomorrow," Charlotte said with a smile.

"Okay!" Vivian nodded and quickly got to work on purifying the insulin.

Charlotte was responsible for crushing the frozen bovine pancreas and dissolving it into pancreatic paste with acidic ethanol, while Vivian completed the final purification step.

Three tons of bovine pancreas can yield insulin for thousands of people.

Charlotte's specially made injection vials have also arrived. The prepared insulin injection solution is poured into the vials, which are available in three sizes: large, medium, and small, taking into account differences in body size.

For dinner, they simply ate noodles. Charlotte focused on helping Vivian extract the insulin, while Kasha took charge of bottling and labeling it.

By the time I finished, it was already late at night.

"It's finally over," Vivian said, yawning.

"1240 bottles, that's enough for many patients for a long time," Kasha said with a smile, the boxes of medicine already piled up into a small mountain.

The three of them smiled at each other, and saw a sense of accomplishment in each other's eyes.

Every dose of medication is a life-saving treasure for diabetic patients.

"You two go to sleep first. I'll continue making the potion for a while. Thank you for your hard work." Charlotte told the two of them to go to sleep, and then she threw herself back into making the potion.

By the time Charlotte finished concocting all the potions she planned to sell the next day, it was already past midnight.

Charlotte stretched and went upstairs to wash up, smelling strongly of medicine.

During this period, he almost always finished each day with such high-intensity work. If it weren't for the powerful physique granted by the advanced knight realm and the miraculous recovery ability granted by the strength potion, he probably would have collapsed long ago.

As usual, Charlotte downed five bottles of energizing potions, rinsed off the sweat and odor with cold water, changed into comfortable loungewear, sat down at her desk, and pulled out a book called "Red Moon Deciphering" from the bookshelf to read seriously.

Besides running the clinic, he also began researching Red Moon during this time.

He joined the Red Moon organization under the guise of researching the Red Moon's influence on Warcraft, but almost a month has passed and he still hasn't produced any research results, which makes him somewhat embarrassed.

In a few days, the next night of the Red Moon will arrive.

He almost didn't make it through the last Red Moon night. This time, besides planning to capture one or two berserk monsters for research, he also has to help Kasha concoct a potion that allows her to breathe on land.

Leo gave him the prescription, but he hadn't tried to make it yet. After all, the prescription required the blood of a demonic beast that went berserk on the night of the Red Moon, and this stuff was all about timing.

  

As for studying the effects of the Red Moon on Warcraft, this involves knowledge of anatomy.

If possible, he should try to catch a rabbit-like or frog-like magical beast, as he is more experienced in dissecting these two types of creatures.

Moreover, before the real night of the red moon arrives, he wants to personally venture into the wilderness, even if it's just to wander around the outskirts.

Only through combat can one maximize their strength. Each breakthrough into the mysterious space only allows for one entry, which is insufficient to hone one's sword skills and movement techniques to the highest level each time.

As for Abyss, with the Abyss Guard's night patrols becoming increasingly frequent, he has found it increasingly difficult to find suitable opponents on the streets.

His inner hunting instincts were beginning to stir.

The clinic has been too busy lately, forcing him to postpone the plan. Once things stabilize at the pharmacy, he will definitely have to go into the wilderness.

Suppressing her chaotic thoughts, Charlotte continued reading.

How does the Red Moon affect Warcraft? Why does a beast tide erupt on the night of the Red Moon? For thousands of years after the Red Moon appeared, the discussion on this question has continued, and there are many books on this topic.

If we can find the mechanism behind this effect, we might be able to try to block the influence of the Red Moon, thereby reducing the number of monsters driven mad by the Red Moon, and even stopping the ever-growing monster tides.

Charlotte has recently read quite a few books of this type, but most of them are very abstract and not very useful.

He prefers anatomical research, comparing the changes in monsters before and after demonization, which might reveal the mechanism of the Red Moon's influence to some extent.

According to the judge, his parents, Nolan and Lynn, were conducting research in this area more than 20 years ago, but unfortunately, an accident occurred, causing the research to be interrupted.

What he needs to do is restart this research.

There is probably no one in the world more suitable to do this than him.

Charlotte read until dawn, then got up, washed, and changed into her work robe.

He glanced at his system panel:

……

His strength had increased to 15200 kg. After breaking through to the Advanced Knight level and stabilizing his realm, he exchanged all his wealth points for strength potions and drank them, thus maintaining the rapid growth of his strength.

The clinic now earns about 5 copper coins a day, and its medicine sales have reached about 3.

Revenue from supplying medicines to external parties is separate. Currently, Harry's grocery store and Linda's apothecary have already begun to contribute a decent amount of extra income to him.

It can be said that he has already gained a firm foothold in the abyss.

His daily income can be converted into increased strength through the Power Potion.

He can make money and upgrade his skills at the same time – that's exactly what he's doing.

Charlotte opened the door and heard noises coming from the kitchen. The door was ajar, and a light was on inside.

"Who got up so early?" Charlotte asked, somewhat surprised, as she walked to the kitchen door and gently pushed it open.

Kasha, dressed as a maid, stood by the stove, stirring something in a pot. Steam filled the entire kitchen, creating a misty atmosphere.

"Master, you're awake." Hearing the door open, Kasha turned around, her azure eyes becoming even more lively through the mist.

"Kasha, what are you doing so early in the morning?" Charlotte went up and peeked into the pot.

"I'm cooking porridge. You work so hard every day, so I wanted to make breakfast so you can sleep a little longer," Kasha explained.

"It's okay, I'm full of energy every day." Charlotte felt a warmth in her heart and couldn't say that she hadn't slept at all last night, so there was no issue of her sleeping a little longer.

This pot of white porridge looks simple, but it should be quite a challenge for Kasha. After all, the sea creatures don't have the concept of cooking over a fire at the bottom of the sea. It was only after coming to the clinic that she gradually got used to eating cooked food.

"This is what a maid should do, so please train me well from now on," Kasha said earnestly.

"Train...train?" Charlotte raised an eyebrow, suddenly realizing something. "You mean, you want to learn to cook?"

Kasha nodded obediently: "Yes, your food is so delicious. If I learn how to cook it, I can cook for you for every meal from now on."

Charlotte thought for a moment and then nodded in agreement: "Okay, starting today, you can study while I'm cooking."

As the saying goes, it's always good to have more skills. Since Kasha wanted to learn how to cook, he had no reason not to teach her.

That way, when he's not home, she and Vivian won't have to eat bread all the time.

"Plain porridge is a bit too bland since we don't have any kimchi to go with it. Why don't we add some beef and make beef porridge? We'll buy some radishes this afternoon and soak them; they'll be perfect to go with the porridge." Charlotte took out a piece of beef that she hadn't used yesterday from the ice cellar in the corner and began to teach Kasha how to cook porridge.

Kasha stood to the side, studying intently, just like a student listening attentively in class.

"This beef porridge was made by Kasha? It's so delicious!" Vivian praised it several times while drinking the porridge, and proved it by drinking a whole five bowls.

"My master taught me how to make it..." Kasha's face flushed slightly, but she couldn't hide the joy in her eyes.

"Kasha is very talented. I'm just helping out. Before long, I'll be able to just eat," Charlotte said with a smile, also drinking an extra bowl of porridge.

After breakfast, the three of them went downstairs, and the busy business hours began again.

After the morning rush hour, all the patients who came for their appointments had left, and the diabetic patients who had been waiting outside for a while were now entering the room.

Fat Tiger and Billy entered the room chatting and laughing. The two had reconnected, sharing similar experiences, and were getting along quite well.

The other patients, some old and some young, were all found through information provided by Pang Hu.

Among them was a rather weathered-looking young man, holding the hand of a little girl.

The young man was probably only around thirty years old, but his face looked quite sorrowful. The wrinkles around his eyes and brows were very deep, making him look quite weathered. He was wearing a faded, patched thin shirt, which was no longer enough to keep out the chilly morning wind of this season.

The little girl he was holding looked to be only four or five years old. She was dark-skinned and thin, with hardly any flesh on her body, but her features were extremely beautiful, especially her black eyes, which seemed to glow.

The little girl's name is Connie. She is the youngest among the group of diabetic patients, but even so, she is eight years old. Due to long-term malnutrition and weight loss caused by diabetes, she looks only four or five years old.

"Sister Eileen, Sister Kasha, Dr. Charlotte." Connie greeted everyone cheerfully as soon as she entered, a smile spreading across her face and revealing a set of clean, even teeth.

"Okay, Connie, be good." Vivian smiled and stepped forward, patted Connie's head, then conjured a candy from her palm and handed it to her.

"Wow, Sister Eileen, you can do magic?! That's amazing!" The little guy's eyes lit up as he took the beautifully wrapped candy from Vivian's hand with an incredulous look.

"That's right, when Connie grows up, I'll teach you magic, okay?" Vivian said with a smile.

"Okay, okay, then Connie must grow up quickly so she can learn magic from her big sister," Connie said, nodding her little head with a happy smile on her face.

Seeing Connie's happiness, Marin's worried face finally broke into a smile.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Charlotte announced loudly, "I have something to announce: starting today, the price of each insulin vial will be 100 copper coins. Also, I have received the custom-made syringes, so you can buy a month's supply of the injection solution and take it home for injections. You no longer need to come to the clinic for injections every day."

The clinic was quiet for a while. Everyone looked at Charlotte with surprise, but even more so with delight.

Marin, in particular, was clearly stunned for a moment before revealing a look of surprise, and even his hands began to tremble uncontrollably.

"Father, does that mean the money we would have for one shot can now buy us ten?" Connie asked softly, tilting her head back.

"100 copper coins per injection? Doctor, you mean starting today, we only need to spend 100 copper coins per day to inject insulin, instead of 1000 copper coins?" Fat Tiger asked in surprise.

"Why did the price suddenly drop so much?" Billy asked, equally surprised.

Everyone looked at Charlotte, wanting to confirm the news with him again.

Charlotte smiled and explained, "My partner, Ms. Eileen, believes that the high price of insulin would place a great burden on you. After our discussion, we decided to lower the price. Yes, you heard me right, it's 100 copper coins per bottle."

All eyes turned to Vivian, their eyes filled with gratitude.

Vivian was also taken aback for a moment, clearly not expecting Charlotte to attribute the credit to her. However, she quickly smiled and nodded, saying, "We hope that you can live healthy lives and live with dignity like ordinary people. This is the original intention behind our invention of insulin."

"Sister Eileen, you are all so kind." Connie looked at Vivian gratefully, her eyes reddening.

"Doctor, Miss Eileen, you are both amazing," Fat Tiger said with deep emotion.

He could afford a thousand copper coins a day, but he knew very well that not everyone present could afford it, and some would inevitably have to discontinue treatment later on because of money problems.

But now Charlotte has reduced the price of insulin from 1000 copper coins to 100 copper coins, meaning that the vast majority of patients can afford the medication.

Billy, on the other hand, had a thoughtful expression on his face.

"Alright, now I'll demonstrate how to inject with the new syringe. You all need to learn how to inject yourself so you can take the insulin solution home and give yourself injections." Charlotte took a set of glass syringes from the counter, attached steel needles, then took a bottle of insulin solution, grabbed Fat Tiger as the demonstration subject, and taught everyone how to inject themselves with insulin.

The group gathered in a circle, studying very attentively.

The new syringe was very easy to use, and since injecting insulin is inherently very simple, everyone quickly said they had learned how to do it.

A set of syringes and needles costs 50 copper coins. Charlotte didn't make a single penny in the middle; she gave each person the cost price directly.

Everyone ordered a 30-day supply. After the price reduction, the money that would have only been enough for three days of injections can now be used for thirty days. Moreover, you don't have to stay in the abyss every day to get the injections; you can just take it home and administer the injections yourself.

Everyone thanked Charlotte and the others profusely.

Marin knelt down and kowtowed three times to Charlotte and Vivian. After Charlotte helped him up, the distressed man said gratefully, "Thank you for saving my daughter."

"Thank you, doctors," Connie said with a grateful expression.

"You're welcome," Charlotte said with a smile.

"When you get back, eat well and grow up healthy. Next time you come to get your medicine, I'll measure how tall you've grown." Vivian stroked the little one's head and said with a smile, "If you've grown taller, I'll teach you a little magic trick."

"It's a deal then." Connie held up her little finger.

"It's a deal." Vivian extended her finger and hooked it with her little finger.

Marin carefully put away the medicine, carried Connie on his back, and said goodbye to everyone.

Connie, perched on Marlin's back, waved her little hand at everyone: "Goodbye."

"Goodbye." Vivian walked to the door to see her off, and when she turned back, her eyes were clearly red.

The patients left one after another, carrying their medicine, their faces beaming with smiles of hope for the future.

"Is there anything else?" Charlotte was about to go upstairs to cook when she looked at Billy, who was the last one to arrive, and asked with some confusion.

"Yes, there's something I'd like to discuss with you, Doctor." Billy nodded.

"Go ahead," Charlotte said, looking at him.

"I greatly admire your decision to lower the price of insulin to 100 copper coins. As someone who benefits from insulin, I also want to do something to promote it," Billy said sincerely. "I hope you can authorize me to promote and sell insulin. I will buy insulin from you in bulk at 100 copper coins and then sell it to others at the same price, utilizing the Calva Chamber of Commerce's channels for widespread promotion. What do you think?"
