I opened a clinic in the Abyss World
Chapter 213 Let's not talk about money, let's talk about feelings?
When Charlotte drove the carriage out of Harriman Manor, the carriage was already adorned with the prominent Harriman family fox tail crest on all sides.
This wasn't free; the thank-you fee was reduced from 100,000 to 50,000.
However, it's still worth it to exchange 50,000 copper coins for the permanent protection of the Harriman family, which will make traveling in the Abyss much easier.
The night of the Red Moon is three days away, and it's clear that Diana values it, which gives Charlotte a sense of urgency.
Last time on the night of the Red Moon, the monsters invaded the Abyss, causing extremely serious damage.
Although the three major families have set up new magical protective shields at the entrance to the abyss, they are not foolproof.
Even Kalva's protective shield has been nearly breached several times, so the Abyss's protective shield is somewhat of a joke.
In other words, the Abyss is located in a remote area and has the advantage of terrain, making it less likely to be targeted by monster hordes. It is mainly defended against monsters that are besieging Kalva but accidentally take the wrong path.
This night of the red moon was very important to him.
Besides collecting monster blood to concoct potions for Kasha, he also needs to conduct some anatomical experiments to try to find the mechanism by which the Red Moon affects the behavior of monsters.
He had been worried about how to capture suitable magical beasts for dissection, but Martha's arrival solved many of his problems.
This little girl looks harmless, but she actually has more wilderness survival experience than most adventurers.
After leaving Harriman Estate, Charlotte went straight to Harry's grocery store.
After the Harriman family crest was affixed, Charlotte drove her carriage on the road with far fewer covetous glances. Passersby, upon seeing the crest, showed more awe and avoided it, fearing they might bump into the carriage, and a sense of security arose spontaneously.
After the Judson family's downfall, the Harriman, Truman, and Daniel families formed a triangular structure with two superpowers and one strong power.
With the formation of the Abyss Council, the Abyss Guards, dressed in standard uniforms, are appearing more and more frequently in front of people. Order is being established in the Abyss, and people are increasingly in awe of the three major families.
Those 50,000 copper coins were well spent!
As soon as the carriage came to a stop in front of the general store, the shop assistant came forward with a fawning smile, took the reins from Charlotte's hand, and led the carriage aside.
Harry, hearing the commotion, came out to see what was happening. He immediately spotted the Harriman family fox tail crest on the carriage and exclaimed in surprise, "Oh, Dr. Charlotte, it's only been a few days, and you're already a member of the Harriman family?"
"As you know, Diana has treated me well." Charlotte smiled slightly, neither admitting nor denying it.
"You're something else," Harry said, giving him a thumbs-up as he walked into the store. "You just got so much stock last time, and you're getting more today? Or have you gotten some new potions?"
"How did the Sunset Red sell last time?" Charlotte sat down on a high stool outside the counter and glanced at the potion counter, where Sunset Red was placed in a prominent position.
"Hehe, I was just thinking of ordering from you again tomorrow. Your medicine is amazing! Everyone who's used it raves about it, and the repurchase rate is incredibly high." Harry looked at him with shining eyes: "Send me another hundred bottles."
"Okay, I'll deliver the goods to you tomorrow." Charlotte nodded. One hundred bottles of Sunset Red wine would cost 60000 copper coins.
As for Harry's price of 1000 copper coins per bottle at his counter, it's his skill that he was able to sell it at that price.
"I'm not here to buy goods today. I wanted to ask if you have a material called 'Seven-Star Fruit'," Charlotte asked in turn.
"Seven-Star Fruit?" Harry put down the potion bottle he was wiping, looking at Charlotte with some surprise. "That's a very precious material. What do you need it for? Are you planning to develop a new potion? The cost is too high!"
Charlotte casually said, "I saw this material in a book. It's said to have special medicinal effects. I just happened to transfer it here today, so I wanted to ask if you have it."
"I don't have any here," Harry shook his head. "You can only buy this kind of expensive potion in Calva, and it won't cost less than 300,000 copper coins."
"So expensive?" Charlotte asked in surprise.
Harry nodded and said, "You might not be able to buy it at this price, because this fruit is very rare and there is no market for it. It is said that it is extremely beneficial to high-level magicians after consumption. If someone urgently needs this Seven Star Fruit, the price can be raised even higher."
"Now that you mention it, I understand. It's definitely not a suitable material for making potions." Charlotte nodded, having come to a conclusion.
The Seven-Star Fruit in his spatial ring was worth at least 300,000 copper coins, making his bloody battle with the Utu Mercenary Group worthwhile.
However, he did not intend to sell the Seven Star Fruit to Harry; he would at least sell it in Kalva.
Of course, the best outcome is to receive the quest from the Adventurers' Guild and redeem it, which will generally be higher than the market price.
Having gotten some information from Harry, Charlotte didn't linger. After ordering a batch of Knife Wine, she drove back to the apothecary.
As soon as Charlotte entered, she saw Martha carrying more than a dozen boxes of potions with both hands towards the warehouse, looking every bit the strongwoman, seemingly very well-suited to the job.
Vivian stood on the high platform, meticulously pouring various ingredients into a large black pot, and the aroma of medicine wafted out.
Below, Jacob stood guard by the fire, intently watching the inside of the stove, occasionally adding a piece or two of coal to keep the temperature constant, demonstrating quite professional fire-making skills.
Nora stuck labels on the side, applied glue, slapped them onto the potion bottles, and one potion was done. She put it into the potion box and immediately grabbed the second one.
Charlotte walked through the refining workshop and entered the materials preparation workshop. Kerry was holding a small hammer, clanging and banging on a pile of potion materials. His steady hands ensured a high degree of completion in the material processing.
"Doctor, you're here." Kerry noticed Charlotte's arrival and stopped hammering.
"It's alright, you can continue." Charlotte pulled up a small stool and sat down next to Kerry, smiling as she said, "I just returned from Harriman Manor. From today onwards, this carriage is under the protection of the Harriman family. This is your waist tag. If you encounter any trouble while traveling in the Abyss, just show this waist tag, and no one will stop you."
"This..." Kerry took the metal waist tag engraved with the Fox Guard emblem, his face showing undisguised surprise.
As a long-time resident of the Abyss, he knew very well what the Harriman family represented in the Abyss, and having this waist token was like giving him a talisman.
Although he didn't say it, he still felt a lot of malicious stares while driving his carriage through the abyss these past two days.
Especially after dark, the pairs of eyes watching him from the darkness made him feel threatened.
Now that I have this waist tag, all these troubles and worries have disappeared.
He was just a little surprised that Charlotte could actually get her hands on something like this.
"Alright, you can get back to work now." Charlotte got up and walked towards the refining workshop.
Harry ordered one hundred bottles of Sunset Red, but he was too lazy to go back and refine them in batches of ten. After Vivian finished her refining task for the day, he planned to study the refining method of Sunset Red in a large iron pot. Once the detailed recipe was ready, he could hand it over to Vivian to refine in the future.
After three batches of refining, the Sunset Red tea was successfully produced.
Watching the red potion being poured into each potion bottle, a sense of accomplishment welled up inside me.
That's the power of industry—it's so efficient.
One hundred bottles of medicine, all made in one pot.
"Boss, do I need to make a pot of Sunset Red every day from now on?" Vivian leaned closer and asked Charlotte, who was diligently writing down the recipe.
"No, not for now. We can refine it when we get an order," Charlotte shook her head.
The sales volume of "Sunset Red" at the clinic is not very large at present; Harry is the main customer.
"Alright, it's getting late, let's go back to the clinic." Charlotte came down from the platform and told Nora that this batch of sunset red flowers didn't need to be labeled, just packed directly into boxes, and Kerry could deliver them to Harry first thing tomorrow morning.
Harry's grocery store was, after all, located in the abyss, and Charlotte couldn't easily use wholesale prices to directly undercut him, so she allowed him to sell under her own brand.
In business, you have to learn to be flexible.
Kerry drove the three back, and when he saw the fox tail emblem on the carriage, he paused in surprise. He then walked around the carriage to confirm that the emblem was on all sides, and exclaimed in astonishment, "Doctor, does this carriage belong to the Harriman family?"
"No, the carriage belongs to the apothecary workshop, but if you encounter trouble while traveling, you can claim to be from the Harriman family," Charlotte said with a smile. "Of course, you can't do anything bad, or I won't acknowledge you."
"I understand." Kerry nodded, his face still showing surprise.
He originally thought Charlotte had only given him a waist tag, but he didn't expect that she would even stamp a badge on the carriage. This would indeed save him a lot of trouble.
This gave him a better understanding of Charlotte's abilities, showing that the doctor had influence within the Harriman family.
The three boarded the carriage. The front seats were still there, but the rear seats had been removed by Kerry and connected to the trunk, creating a cargo box that could hold a lot of goods.
Charlotte had no choice but to move a small stool and sit opposite Vivian and Martha.
"How's it going on your first day at work?" Charlotte asked Martha.
"Not bad." Martha nodded, looking at him and saying, "However, I heard that with my strength, I could earn three to five hundred copper coins a day by carrying sacks at the cargo dock."
Charlotte said seriously, "Nonsense. If you're just carrying sacks at the cargo terminal, then you're really just a laborer without ideals or aspirations. I'm putting you here to train you. You can't just think about money; that's too vulgar."
"Let's not talk about money, let's talk about feelings?" Martha asked back.
"Yes, think about it. I'm the doctor who did your C-section. Even though Hei Zi can't call you 'Mom,' I'm still your savior, right? Do you think money can buy this kind of relationship?" Charlotte asked.
Martha thought for a moment and said, "You said yourself, it's worth 1200 copper coins."
Charlotte: "..."
……
This wasn't free; the thank-you fee was reduced from 100,000 to 50,000.
