I opened a clinic in the Abyss World

I'm Charlotte. I'm not panicked anymore, but... I'm a little flustered?

Charlotte stared at Elizabeth, her eyes widening as if she had heard something incredible.

So, Elizabeth's motivation to become stronger was actually him?

This is insane!

"I..." Seeing Charlotte's shocked expression, Elizabeth panicked, a blush rising to her face. She stammered, "I'm relieved to see you're doing well. I... I have something to do, so I'll be going now."

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and flew away.

"I said..." Charlotte hadn't even finished speaking when she disappeared around the corner.

"What's going on here? Wasn't it supposed to start with a humiliating annulment of the engagement? Don't underestimate a young man's potential!" Charlotte scratched her head, feeling that things weren't going as expected.

Elizabeth's words about becoming stronger to protect him were exactly the words of a leading lady!

Could it be that there was a hidden reason behind the annulment of the engagement three years ago, and that his fiancée actually loved him?

Thinking about it this way, Charlotte suddenly felt a chill run down her spine.

He suddenly understood why Jenny always called him a scumbag whenever she saw him, and why she reacted so strongly to his hiring of a maid.

  Remember us, 101kanshu.com

Could it be that she's feeling indignant on behalf of her best friend, as if her friend has misjudged her?

Elizabeth is too powerful, so powerful that Charlotte feels like she has the system in her hands and still can't catch up.

If I were to be controlled by a woman like that...

That must feel very safe, right?

Ugh, ugh, ugh—

No, no, in this world, survival is the most important thing.

The monster tide is getting stronger and stronger, and the Mist of Resentment is like a sword hanging over our heads; if it's not dealt with, we can't survive.

"Don't go! I haven't said whether I want to or not yet." Charlotte peeked at the empty road, sighed, and thought, "It seems we're destined to be apart."

"Huh? Why are you back so soon? What did you talk about?" Jenny, who was squatting in front of a stall, eating corn and staring at the park path ahead, asked in surprise when Elizabeth suddenly appeared beside her.

"It's nothing," Elizabeth said calmly.

"Why are you blushing? Did he kiss you?" Jenny leaned closer and stared at her face.

"No way! I... I just caught a chill." Elizabeth quickly turned her face away.

"That's true, how could he have kissed you in such a short time?" Jenny nodded, her expression gradually becoming strange. "Could it be... that you kissed him?"

"I'm going back now. If there's any news from Daryl, let me know immediately." Elizabeth turned and left.

"No way! It's been so many years since we went to the Lantern Festival night market together. Come with me!" Jenny quickly followed, taking her arm and laughing as they walked. "What was his reaction? Didn't he give you a passionate kiss?"

"Get out!" Elizabeth snapped.

Charlotte wandered around the park, found a quiet spot, and thought for an hour, but still couldn't figure out what Elizabeth saw in her.

"No, I have to ask clearly next time we meet, otherwise I won't be able to sleep well," Charlotte muttered to herself.

……

"I mean, does that guy really not feel anything for me at all?"

At the entrance of the Abyss Medical Clinic, Mrs. Nancy and her little maid stood in front of the door, looking at the dark clinic, both lost in thought.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible! With your charm, Madam, no man could resist you," the maid said confidently.

"So, he might not be a man?" Nancy squinted.

"This possibility cannot be ruled out."

"They paid a registration fee of 100,000 copper coins. For them, that's a huge sum, and they probably borrowed a lot of it." Nancy frowned, puzzled. "Shouldn't he be actively trying to curry favor with me to get his registration fee back and earn more commission? How dare he ignore me?"

The maid also fell silent; this was a scene she had never witnessed before.

"Should I knock on the door again? He might just not have heard me."

"No need. He's not at the clinic. Just tell Monte that I'm angry, and then we'll wait for him to come begging to me tomorrow." Nancy turned and walked towards the carriage.

"Yes, ma'am." The maid quickly followed her mistress.

……

Charlotte sat in the park for a long time before returning to the entrance of the Drunken Fragrance Pavilion.

The night market was still bustling. From afar, you could see Loren and Leo carrying more than a dozen packages in their hands, walking over with expressions of utter despair, as if they had just carried back ten thousand bricks.

The women following behind them were also carrying many packages, but their steps were still light and their faces were full of smiles.

"It's all your fault, you've exhausted us both," Leo said with a hint of resentment as he approached.

"Women are absolutely terrifying when they go shopping, and five women together are even more terrifying," Loren said, shaking his head and complaining softly.

"I'm different from you guys. You're wives, you have to be there for your wives. I'm the boss, I don't have to be there for my wives," Charlotte said with a slight smile.

Leo and Loren exchanged a glance and simultaneously gave each other a thumbs up: "It has to be you."

"I've already arranged accommodations for you. To prevent Daryl from sending people to follow you, I've put you in an inn on the west side of the city. You can leave the city and return to the Abyss first thing tomorrow morning." Loren said, handing Charlotte an address. "When you get there, just tell me my name."

"Okay, thank you for the hospitality today. I'll host the next time we come to the Abyss," Charlotte said sincerely, putting away the address.

"We'll definitely go next time," Loren and Leo nodded.

The group then took their leave.

"This is so much fun! Calva is definitely more fun than the capital. You can buy anything and see anything here!" Vivian said excitedly as she sat in the carriage.

Charlotte smiled, and after confirming that no one was following her, she changed into a disguise mask to resemble the impotent young master, and drove westward into the city.

Upon arrival, they found themselves in a rather elegant hotel. After giving Loren's name, the owner immediately and courteously led them to a secluded courtyard in the back.

"Then you should get some rest." The boss smiled and left the courtyard, but his expression as he looked at Charlotte at the end was slightly strange.

"Is there something strange on my face?" Charlotte touched her face and asked, turning her head to the side.

"Boss, with your weak-willed appearance, bringing three beautiful girls to a hotel in the middle of the night, it's hard not to have dirty thoughts," Martha said seriously.

"Go away, go to sleep." Charlotte waved her hand helplessly. This girl knows too much; she can't let her corrupt the other two innocent girls.

The small building has three rooms. Charlotte occupies one room, Vivian and Martha sleep together, and Kasha has a room by herself.

Nothing happened that night. The next day, just as dawn was breaking, Charlotte woke the three of them and drove out of the city.

"It's too early. There's no business anyway, why not sleep a little longer?" Vivian said, yawning and trying to keep her eyes open.

Martha's head was resting on her lap, and she had already fallen fast asleep.

"To avoid Daryl's retaliation, we need to return to the Abyss as discreetly as possible. It would be troublesome if she found out about the Abyss," Charlotte explained in a low voice.

"That guy is really annoying!" Vivian clenched her fist, which reminded her of the privileged young men in the capital, who also bullied others and were all bad people.

"How's your magic learning going since you became Adolf's apprentice?" Charlotte asked.

"That's great. Master said I'm about to break through. I'll become a high-level mage at sixteen. From now on, I'll be an even more powerful genius than you," Vivian said with a hint of pride.

"That's definitely better than me. I only became a high-level mage at eighteen." Charlotte nodded.

Seemingly realizing she had touched a nerve with Charlotte, Vivian quickly explained, "I was just using an analogy, please don't mind, boss."

"It's alright, I became a high-ranking knight again when I was twenty-eight." Charlotte smiled slightly.

Vivian: "..."

It must be admitted that such a feat is indeed not something a normal person could do.

Daryl, who had just become an elite knight at the age of thirty, was overconfident and was hailed as a genius.

Charlotte was known as a genius healing mage. She was sent to the source of magic at the age of twenty-five and became a high-ranking knight at the age of twenty-six.

Who is the real genius?

"Boss, did you secretly go to see Elizabeth last night?" Vivian suddenly changed the subject.

"Huh?" Charlotte was taken aback. Had this girl secretly seen something? But she still maintained her composure and said, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"Tell me about your past, I really love Sister Elizabeth," Vivian poked her head out, all sleepiness gone.

I'd like to know too. Why don't you tell me? Charlotte calmly replied, "Children shouldn't ask too many questions. Do you think you can hear that for free?"

"Then I'll pay you." Vivian took out two silver coins and stuffed them into Charlotte's hand.

"Okay, then I'll tell you the story." Charlotte pocketed the money and made up a story on the spot.

"This is so touching. I wish you happiness," Vivian said, her face full of emotion, as the carriage stopped in front of the clinic.

Charlotte just smiled; it seemed his ability to make things up wasn't bad.

The sky above the abyss is darker later than usual, and there are no guests or patients queuing up yet.

Martha and Kasha were woken up. The former staggered upstairs and went back to sleep.

"Bring me your ledger, I'm paying you today," Charlotte said to Vivian as she walked toward the counter.

"Okay!" Vivian's eyes lit up, and she ran upstairs. A moment later, she came down again, carrying a booklet with her.

"I'll show you. I keep a record every day. Last month, I made a total of..." Vivian and Charlotte huddled together, carefully tallying up the number of potions she made and the fees she charged to patients she treated last month.

The clinic and the pharmacy workshop produced a total of 16821 bottles of medicine, earning a commission of 16821.

1892 patients were treated, and a total of 396200 copper coins were collected in consultation fees. Based on a 10% commission, the individual should receive 39620 copper coins.

Adding the two together, the total is 56441 copper coins!

"Wow! That's so much!" Vivian exclaimed in surprise, completely unprepared for the sheer quantity.

"They're definitely high-income earners." Charlotte was somewhat surprised as she looked at the calculated total income.

However, to be fair, Vivian's income was indeed earned through hard work.

Whether it's the average of 60 patients seen per day or the high efficiency of one person supporting half of the pharmacy workshop, both have created enormous profits for him as the boss.

"Deducting the 3000 copper coins from the two advance payments, I should pay you 53441 copper coins." Charlotte took out five gold coins and a handful of silver and copper coins from her spatial ring and placed them on the counter.

"Thank you, boss!" Vivian first put away the five gold coins, and then put the remaining money into a delicate money bag, which looked like she had bought it while browsing the night market last night.

"Kasha, from now on you'll live the high life with your sister. I'll pay for everything when we go out," Vivian said, patting her bulging purse with an air of self-importance.

"Mmm." Kasha nodded with a smile, cooperating perfectly.

"Let's settle Kasha's salary at 6000 copper coins a month." Charlotte took out another handful of silver coins and gestured for Kasha to come over.

"Master, I don't want a salary. I am willing to be your servant," Kasha said, shaking her head firmly.

"Let's keep things separate. Now you're the staff member in charge of medicine sales at the clinic, this is your deserved salary." Charlotte stepped forward and stuffed sixty silver coins into her hand. "You reap what you sow; that's the way of life on land."

Kasha looked thoughtfully at the money in her hand, then said gratefully, "Thank you."

"We're about to open for business, so I'll have bread for breakfast today." Charlotte prepared to go out to buy breakfast.

"I'll treat you today!" Vivian rushed out the door, and returned a moment later with four loaves of bread, each with double the meat filling.

After having breakfast, Charlotte opened the door.

There weren't many patients coming to see the doctor today, but there were quite a few more adventurers coming to buy medicine, forming a queue that was over ten meters long.

"Two stamina potions, please." Jonah paid while smiling at Charlotte, who was standing by the counter. "Doctor, would you like to go out into the wilderness again? I heard that quite a few people have managed to pick up some loot in the outer areas these past two days. Some injured high-level magical beasts are wandering around there, and they're not too difficult to hunt."

"I don't like taking risks." Charlotte shook her head, looked at the brother and sister, and advised, "Be careful, the dying counterattack of a high-level magical beast is no joke."

"I know, we don't like taking risks either, and we always avoid them if we encounter them." Jonah took the potion, carefully put it in his bag, and waved goodbye.

"Goodbye, Doctor." Celia smiled and waved, then quickly followed.

Charlotte smiled and shook her head. She didn't plan to go out for the next few days. Jenny had ordered 3000 bottles of the first batch of moisturizing essence, which required a lot of raw materials. She needed to get Harry to place the order first.

He usually doesn't have enough stock on hand and needs to bring it back from elsewhere, so the delivery time needs to be taken into account.

In addition, he obtained a lot of materials at the market in Calva yesterday, and he still needs to try to improve the Dream Blue potion.

Seeing that there weren't many patients today, Charlotte handed over the task of treating the patients to Vivian and turned to go into the alchemy room.

Starting today, the number of adventurers venturing into the wilderness has increased significantly. Based on experience, the number of patients seen at the clinic will surge starting tomorrow, and things will get busy again.

Take out the blue teardrop, the dark blue coral, the dried three-eyed toad, the giant red ant, and other oddly shaped materials that I bought yesterday, and fill the long table.

As was customary, Charlotte ground them into powder one by one.

The other materials were fine, but that blue teardrop was damn hard. No matter how you hit it, you couldn't break it. You put it on the floor and smashed it with a hammer, and it actually shattered the marble floor.

"Damn, I lost 1000 copper coins." Charlotte was speechless. She picked up the teardrop-shaped stone, which was about the size of a fist. Apart from a few scratches, it was completely intact.

This item is a consumable used by mages to set up healing arrays. It's not expensive, costing fifty copper coins per piece.

It's unlikely that any pharmacist used it to concoct potions.

"I don't believe it." Charlotte grabbed the remaining blue teardrops from the bag and went straight out.

"Guy, lend me the forging table," Charlotte called out as she entered the blacksmith's shop.

The forging room immediately fell silent. Guy and his apprentice Abu came out and looked at Charlotte, who was carrying a cloth bag.

"Doctor, what are you doing?" Guy wiped his sweat and asked with a smile.

"I want to smash something, but the floor at home is so dry it's practically broken, so I thought I'd bring it here and try using the hammer and forging table." Charlotte pulled out a blue teardrop.

"Oh, really? Leave it to me. You're the one who handles scalpels, not some roughneck like me who's going to smash this stuff," Guy said with a smile.

"How about I do it myself?" Charlotte hesitated for a moment. He had used three or four tenths of his strength when he smashed the floor earlier, but the blue teardrop was completely unharmed.

Guy is an old blacksmith, but only a level two dwarf; his skill outweighs his strength.

"It's alright, I'll handle it. You just wait outside," Guy said confidently, taking the blue teardrop with him as he walked towards the forging room.

Charlotte followed him to the entrance of the forge, watching Guy use a clamp to fix the teardrop-shaped blue stone to the steel forging table, lift the heavy hammer weighing over a hundred pounds, and bring it down with a single blow.

boom!

The hammer bounced back, leaving the blue teardrop on the forging table completely unharmed.

Guy paused for a moment.

Abu, standing to the side, was also stunned. How could this seemingly pretty stone be so hard?

"I was careless. I didn't expect this seemingly unremarkable stone to be so tough." Guy smiled awkwardly, but his expression quickly turned serious. He gripped the hammer with both hands and swung it high, drawing a graceful arc.

His body and the heavy hammer seemed to be perfectly integrated, creating a whooshing sound as they crashed down onto the blue teardrop on the forging table.

boom! ! !

A loud bang.

The ground seemed to tremble slightly.

"Alright." Guy confidently moved the heavy hammer away.

The blue teardrop still stood intact on the forging table, with a few cracks on its surface, but not many.

Guy turned around, looked at Charlotte, and gave her a forced smile.

He knew what Kerry had been doing at the apothecary workshop lately, and if he were to smash this damned stone into powder, it would probably take him a whole day to finish.

"Um... I'll give it a try." Charlotte walked in and picked up the largest hammer, which weighed at least two hundred pounds.

"Doctor, you'd better not..."

boom!

The hammer is raised and then slammed down quickly.

A crisp, clean sound rang out, and the ground visibly shook.

The flat-headed hammer fits perfectly against the smooth forging table.

Charlotte slowly raised the hammer, and fine blue powder spread evenly on the forging table, without a single grain of coarse sand.
