I opened a clinic in the Abyss World

Chapter 24 An Invitation from the Landlady

The lizard people have confirmed that lizard tails can regrow on their own.

Meat products are very popular in the Abyss, and the plump lizard tail is a favorite of many, so there is no worry about sales.

It is said that some reptilians would cut off their own tails and sell them when they were in dire straits, thus getting through the difficult period.

Charlotte couldn't accept eating a lizard's tail, but that didn't stop him from selling it to raise money for the surgery.

Charlotte felt her purse become a little heavier, and a slight smile appeared on her lips. What a beautiful day.

"Boss, what should we do with this tail?" Vivian asked in a low voice, having somehow retreated to a corner.

"I'll sell it after we close at noon. You can clean up the operating room." Charlotte picked up the tail from the floor and stuffed it into a cabinet next to her.

Vivian waved her hand and cast a cleaning spell, instantly making the operating room spotless.

Charlotte nodded approvingly. What do you call professional? This is professional!

Emerging from the operating room, Vivian looked at Charlotte with a newfound admiration.

On this day, a brand new door was opened in the girl's heart.

Operation!

Charlotte proved with her actions that healing magic is not the only way to cure diseases and save lives, nor is it only magicians who can become doctors.

Charlotte was also very satisfied with her new assistant, which allowed her to focus more on treating patients and avoid wasting too much time on other tedious tasks.

The number of patients was lower today; we only saw five patients by the time we closed at noon.

"We still need to increase the clinic's visibility. The turnover is fluctuating too much. Even with the system rewards, we haven't broken 2,000 copper coins today." Charlotte tallied up today's turnover. With the collateral from the items, today's turnover was only 1960 copper coins.

This made Charlotte feel somewhat melancholy.

After all, yesterday's turnover exceeded three thousand.

"I'll exchange the collateral I collected these past two days for cash this afternoon, and then go to Harry's grocery store to get a new batch of goods. I need to get the moisturizing serum out as soon as possible," Charlotte thought to herself.

The collateral collected the day before yesterday has matured today. Patients who have not come to redeem their collateral have waived their right of first refusal. They can sell it for cash, which can be exchanged for seven or eight hundred copper coins.

Charlotte originally expected to earn 10000 wealth points today to unlock the system shop.

However, the sharp decline in revenue disrupted his plans.

Even after he disposed of the collateral from the first day and the lizard tail, he was still short about 500 copper coins from business.

"I have to wait another day." Charlotte put down her pen, closed her diary, and sighed softly.

dong dong!

  

There was a knock on the door.

"Shall we open the door?" Vivian stood up and looked at Charlotte.

"I'll go see who it is." Charlotte got up and walked towards the door. Today was rent payment day, so it was probably the landlady who had come.

Through the crack in the door, Charlotte saw a familiar figure and opened the door.

A tall, imposing figure stood at the entrance of the clinic.

Wearing a brand-new gray outfit and a bright green hat, if it weren't for the broken bull horn that seemed a bit out of place, he would clearly be a successful person among the orcs.

"Hello doctor, I've come to redeem my bull horns." The minotaur looked at Charlotte and said with a loud smile, showing no trace of the humiliation he felt two days ago when his wife slashed him 108 times in the street.

Charlotte couldn't help but glance at the minotaur a few more times; the smugness in his eyes was impossible to hide.

"You owe a total of 412 copper coins. Once you pay, you can redeem your bull horn." Charlotte turned around and took the minotaur's bull horn from the cabinet.

"Keep the change." The minotaur handed over five silver coins and took the bull horn from Charlotte's hand.

Charlotte didn't stand on ceremony and casually complimented, "Nice hat."

"Isn't it nice? My wife gave it to me." The minotaur adjusted his hat with considerable pride.

"Wife? That old hag who stabbed you 108 times?" Charlotte asked in surprise.

"Hehe, that's all in the past, don't bring it up again." The minotaur waved his hand awkwardly, then said smugly, "My wife has changed her mind. That long-faced monster's charm is nowhere near as good as mine."

"I wish you a happy marriage," Charlotte could only offer with a smile.

"By the way, Doctor, could you also help me glue the bull horns back on? The uneven weight on my head is really uncomfortable," the minotaur pleaded.

Charlotte, considering the extra few dozen copper coins he had paid, used wood glue to help him reattach the bull's horns.

The minotaur, now with the horns attached, whistled and walked away with a smug look on his face.

The green hat, even in the dim light of the abyss, remained incredibly vibrant.

"He looks like a dog," Vivian whispered.

"Maybe he's just a happy simp," Charlotte shrugged.

Charlotte was about to close the door when a magnificent carriage pulled by a white unicorn pulled up and stopped in front of the clinic.

The driver opened the carriage door, and a long, snow-white leg stretched out first, the red high heels making the slender leg appear even whiter and more delicate.

Seeing those legs, Charlotte knew who it was.

Aside from his landlady, he had never seen such perfect long legs.

These must be the dream legs of any leg fetishist.

Diana stepped out of the car, her tight-fitting long dress accentuating her perfect figure without appearing overly provocative.

Standing on the carriage, her gentle gaze lingered on Vivian for a moment before settling on Charlotte.

"What a beautiful lady! Such long legs..." Vivian, who was standing next to her, was stunned and couldn't help but swallow.

She subconsciously looked down at her legs, which were probably... maybe... not even half the length of hers?

Ugh... this damn sense of defeat!

Diana stepped down from the carriage, looked at Charlotte with a smile, and asked, "Is the rent ready?"

"Yes, please come in, I'll go get it for you right away." Charlotte nodded quickly, showing ample respect to the head of the street.

Bacca Street is controlled by the Harriman family, and Diana has considerable influence within the Harriman family, reportedly being one of the heirs.

Diana entered the clinic, looked around, and her gaze settled on Vivian. She asked, "Who are you?"

"I...I'm Eileen," Vivian said nervously. This beautiful woman had such a strong presence.

"Eileen is my newly recruited assistant. She hasn't been in the Abyss for long, but I saw that she was diligent, so I kept her on," Charlotte explained, bringing over the money pouch.

"I knew it. Such a pure and lovely girl is hard to find in the Abyss." Diana looked Vivian up and down, then shook her head and said, "But these clothes and hair don't really suit you."

Charlotte's eyelids twitched a few times. He was the one who bought the clothes. Vivian's petite frame couldn't find clothes that fit properly. Next time, he might have to go to the children's section.

Speaking of hair, could it be that Diana could tell at a glance that she was wearing a wig?

He even fabricated a series of identities and stories for her, but in the eyes of a true master, they were nothing more than laughable tricks that could be seen through at a glance.

Fortunately, Diana stopped staring at Vivian and turned to look at Charlotte instead.

"Here are forty silver coins. Please count them," Charlotte said, presenting the money bag with both hands.

Diana didn't reach out to take it, saying, "No need to give it to me, just replace it all with moisturizing essence."

A bottle of moisturizing essence costs 800 copper coins; you can exchange it for five bottles here.

The return of repeat customers, especially high-value clients like Diana, proves that the moisturizing serum is indeed very effective.

Charlotte was heartbroken.

Yesterday he spent the whole afternoon tinkering and gathered all the materials, but he still couldn't refine the moisturizing essence.

That's why he decided to risk going to Harry's materials shop again today.

"I'm sorry, landlady, the moisturizing essence is sold out. We don't have any in stock right now. I was just about to go out and buy the necessary materials," Charlotte said apologetically.

You can't say you can't produce it, but you can boast that it sells well.

"Sold out?" Diana asked in surprise, her brows furrowing slightly.

This hydrating serum is really good; the moisturizing effect is remarkable, and my skin condition was visibly much better when I woke up the next day.

So she applied it all over her body. Anyway, it was cheap; one bottle of the Fountain of Life from the elves was enough to buy a hundred bottles.

In terms of effectiveness, there is not much difference between the two.

Unexpectedly, the small clinic, which had always had a mediocre business, actually had empty shelves.

"When will the goods be available?" Diana asked.

"A new batch should arrive within three days, but the quantity won't be too large, since the success rate of refining this potion is extremely low." Charlotte didn't make any promises, and even played the victim, "Besides, buying materials on Tucker Street is a hassle. You know, humans like me are easy prey for those guys as soon as we leave Bakar Street. I was robbed the day before yesterday and almost lost my life."

Vivian blushed and silently turned away.

Diana thought for a moment, "Then I'll order ten bottles first, and consider the four thousand copper coins as a prepayment."

"Okay, you can send someone to pick it up in three days." Charlotte calmly agreed, but her heart was pounding wildly.

This is a huge order of 8000 copper coins!

The clinic operated for three days, but its revenue was only a little over nine thousand.

That's why everyone says women's money is easy to earn; isn't this irrefutable proof?

Diana turned to leave, boarded the carriage, and then looked back at Charlotte, saying, "Get in, I'm going to Tucker Street, and I'll take you to the materials shop on the way."

Charlotte thought for only three seconds before nodding in agreement.

Is it possible to refuse an invitation to get in the car from the landlady?

"Please wait a moment, I'm going to get something!" Charlotte ran into the clinic and came out a short while later with a bulging backpack on her back.

These were all the collateral he had received in the past two days. He had originally planned to dispose of them on Bacca Street, but since he could hitch a ride with Diana, he might as well take them directly to Harry's grocery store to dispose of them.
