I opened a clinic in the Abyss World

Charlotte listened attentively, and a simple translation of what she said was: "You have to make me feel good first."

It's rare for someone to describe finding a "simp" in such a refined and elegant way.

The simp's task is quite simple: Nancy gives him a chance to win her over, and if he succeeds, he completes the task and receives a reward of ten million copper coins.

Charlotte scrutinized Nancy. The rewards for this mission were very tempting, but the risks were equally high. The vampire on the other side was far too powerful and unpredictable.

Nancy smiled and said, "Of course, you can choose to terminate the cooperation at any time. I will leave the Abyss as if I had never been here."

"I want to confirm one thing: whose last name will the child have?" Charlotte suddenly asked.

"What?" Nancy was taken aback, a blush rising to her face, and she said with a hint of embarrassment and annoyance, "Of course you'll take my surname!"

"That's fine then. It's a deal, you can't come looking for child support later, okay?" Charlotte said earnestly.

"You rascal..." Nancy couldn't help but laugh, "You're so confident?"

"You must be very curious about me," Charlotte asked, staring into her eyes instead of answering her question.

Nancy nodded: "Yes, I am indeed a little curious."

"Curiosity is often the beginning of ruin, madam, you'd better be careful." Charlotte's lips curled up, and she leaned forward, slowly approaching Nancy.

Nancy's hands, resting on her lap, slowly clenched. As the man's face drew closer, she instinctively held her breath.

He was indeed very handsome, with soft facial features. He didn't have the angular, rugged look of a tough guy, but rather a handsome and gentle appearance that didn't appear effeminate. His eyes were clean and bright, without any extraneous thoughts, which made people feel close to him.

This was the first time she had observed his face so closely, and the distance was still getting closer; she could even feel his warm breath.

What is he going to do? Kiss me? No way, this is my first kiss! But... why can't I move suddenly? Did this guy cast a spell on me?

Nancy instinctively closed her eyes, her lips slightly pursed.

  

The maid beside him slowly turned her head away, no longer daring to stare.

Charlotte suddenly stopped, reached out and gently plucked a white hair from Nancy's hair near her ear, then sat back down in her seat.

Nancy suddenly opened her eyes, looked at Charlotte who had already sat back down and the fluffy thing he was holding between his fingers, and a blush appeared on her face.

What was she expecting?

She even pouted!

Oh, how embarrassing...

"A tiny downy feather, hanging on the tip of the lady's hair," Charlotte said with a smile.

"Thank you." Nancy lowered her head to drink water. This guy was definitely doing it on purpose, trying to test her to the limit. Sooner or later, she would drag him back to the dark room and let him know the consequences of provoking her.

"Interesting." Charlotte looked at Nancy, whose face was slightly flushed, and at her previous coy and shy demeanor. Teasing a lady who looked dignified and elegant was indeed a very interesting thing.

He suddenly became interested in the "simp" task. Money didn't matter; he just wanted to see if the pink-haired guy was actually black inside.

"Madam, let's go see the sea together tomorrow afternoon," Charlotte said to Nancy.

Nancy, who was pondering how to move forward, paused, looked up at Charlotte whose gaze was sincere and somewhat eager, and nodded subconsciously: "Okay."

The beach was deserted, with sand and seagulls; there probably weren't many people around.

Then bring a club and a sack, knock him unconscious, put him in the sack, and carry him back to the dark room.

Whips, ropes, and candles were all prepared. Just thinking about tying this man to a rack and then… Nancy couldn’t help but smile.

Hehehehe...

"Madam," the maid whispered a reminder.

Nancy quickly suppressed her overly smug smile, looked at Charlotte's slightly strange expression, and resumed her serene and elegant smile.

"Then, see you tomorrow afternoon. I'll come pick you up." Nancy stood up to say goodbye.

"Madam, please take care." Charlotte saw her to the door, watched the master and servant board the carriage waiting not far away and leave, and then closed the door.

Charlotte closed the door, turned around, and saw three heads peeking out from the corner of the stairs.

"You're leaving already?"

"A date at the beach tomorrow?"

"Who exactly is this beautiful lady?"

The three of them asked questions out of curiosity.

"Go, go, go to sleep. Children shouldn't meddle in adults' affairs." Charlotte waved her hand, urging them to go to sleep.

Vivian put away her gossipy nature and instead asked, "Boss, how do you plan to teach those three new students? Do you need me to mentor a couple? I feel like I can handle it."

Charlotte looked at the confident Vivian and smiled, "You just need to mind your own business. Tomorrow I'll give them their first lesson, so they can grasp the basics of surgery. If they have any questions later, they can ask you, and you can answer them. They can also watch you perform surgery."

"Alright." Vivian nodded, not insisting. After thinking for a moment, she added, "By the way, my master said he wants to see you when he comes to pick me up tomorrow night."

"See me?" Charlotte raised an eyebrow. Adolf's sudden request to see him probably wasn't for anything good. She tentatively asked, "Why does he want to see me? Is there something he needs?"

"I don't know," Vivian shook her head.

"Okay, I understand." Charlotte nodded.

Even if he can run away, he can't hide. If Adolf wants to see him, he can't just hide and refuse to meet. He'll most likely want to talk to him about Vivian's class schedule.

At worst, once Ino has trained her, she can replace Vivian's afternoon shift at the apothecary workshop, giving Vivian an extra half-day of study time.

Vivian's job will become easier once the other students have mastered the surgical skills and are able to perform surgeries independently.

Charlotte knew in her heart that a genius girl like Vivian shouldn't waste her best years for realizing her talents on the busy and trivial affairs of the Abyss Medical Center.

This is also why he was in a hurry to go to the Elf City to recruit new students.

Vivian and the others went upstairs to sleep, while Charlotte went into the alchemy room to start making intermediate-level hemostatic and cleaning potions.

Both alchemy furnaces were actually quite large, especially the large black furnace left behind by the God of Medicine, which was over a meter tall. It was a bit of a waste to only refine ten bottles of medicine at a time.

After some testing, the number of potions that the large black furnace could refine at one time increased from 10 to 20, and the number of potions that the other pot could refine also increased from 10 to 15, nearly doubling the output.

This practice lasted until late into the night.

Charlotte carried the two hundred sets of intermediate first aid kits she had just made out of the alchemy room, placing half on the shelf and piling the other half under the counter.

Intermediate first aid kits have been out of stock for two days, so they should be quite popular tomorrow.

Charlotte pulled out a high stool and sat down, glancing at her spatial ring. Cash balance: 208 million copper coins.

To supply the 10,000 bottles of moisturizing essence that Jenny ordered, as well as the daily consumption of the apothecary workshop, he had just settled a payment of more than 600,000 copper coins with Harry a couple of days ago.

During his three-day trip to the Elven realm, business was so booming that Vivian and Kasha managed to raise their daily turnover to 100,000 copper coins, preventing their cash balance from falling below two million.

Today I met with Diana about jointly building a garment factory. She promised to invest 200 million copper coins into the fund pool as initial operating capital for the garment factory, which means she has almost spent all her remaining balance.

Of course, there were some considerations involved.

As winter deepens, the income of clinics and pharmacies will inevitably enter a long period of decline.

With over two million in hand, it seems like he wouldn't have much of a problem not earning money for three months; he could easily support himself and his employees.

However, not making money means he won't become stronger!

This is quite frustrating.

Practicing swordsmanship diligently every day is indeed a way to improve one's strength.

No matter how hard you practice swordsmanship, it's not as refreshing as drinking a bottle of power potion.

Aside from a few exceptional individuals, have you ever seen a knight gain hundreds of kilograms of strength in a single day?

For Charlotte right now, working hard to earn money to exchange for strength potions is definitely more cost-effective than working hard to improve her strength through sword practice.

Therefore, before the heavy snow blocked the mountain pass, he urgently needed to find a new way to make money.

Ready-to-wear clothing is something new and unknown to the world.

But for Charlotte, this is definitely a promising industry with a huge market.

Of course, what truly prompted him to enter this industry was Ivan, who had already successfully tested the waters.

With decades of tailoring experience, Ivan has an excellent grasp of sizing and design skills, so his small tailor shop quickly gained many customers after starting to make clothes.

Charlotte's task is to bring in Diana's investment and help Ivan establish a garment manufacturing production line, opening up upstream procurement channels and downstream sales channels.

The Abyss market is limited, but the neighboring Kalva is a vast blue ocean.

Clothing priced around 1000 copper coins is considered a niche luxury item in the Abyss, but it's affordable for most people in Kalvar.

Even ordinary working-class families can grit their teeth and buy one as a reward for the past year.

The difference between the abyss and Kalva, which are only five miles apart, is enormous.

Charlotte plans to set up three clothing stores in Calva: one to directly sell ready-made garments produced by the garment factory as a downstream sales channel, and another to develop showrooms for distributors. This is the part that requires initial capital investment.

As for sourcing, Charlotte plans to start with Jenny to see if she can get some good quality fabrics at reasonable prices.

Currently, textile technology on the continent of Aesop is relatively backward, cotton production is low, and prices are high, so most commoners can only wear linen clothing.

If cotton production can be significantly increased and prices reduced, then ready-made garments will have greater room for price reduction in the future, and will be more widely available to a wider range of consumers.

Diana planned to build a new textile factory, and he also wanted to see how they spun cotton into yarn and then wove it into cloth.

His grandfather used to be a cotton fluffer in the village, so he was very familiar with cotton. His family also had an old-fashioned hand-cranked spinning machine, which looked very much like the spinning jenny in the textbook. He often took it apart and played with it when he was little.

The lower wages of workers in the Abyss give them a cost advantage, and Diana's idea of ​​replacing disaster relief with job opportunities might actually work.

If she needs it, he will generously share his knowledge of textiles with her as a reward for her consistent generosity in investing in him.

Don't underestimate the benefits a factory can bring. Charlotte had done a simple calculation before. If the garment factory recruited 100 female workers, with an initial expected daily output of 100 pieces and a final selling price of 1000 copper coins, then the garment factory's daily output value would be 100000 copper coins.

With a base salary of 1000 copper coins plus piece-rate commission, a worker's monthly wage can reach approximately 3000 copper coins.

These 100 women, who were originally unemployed, earned a total of 30 copper coins a month by working in the garment factory. This money went into the market in the abyss to buy various goods, which is a vital source of income outside the adventurer industry chain and can bring new vitality to other industries.

After deducting various costs such as fabric, labor, and rent, the profits earned by garment factories, if downstream sales channels expand well, will continue to be invested in factory expansion and recruitment, increasing the number of workers.

Charlotte firmly believes that the future ready-to-wear market is absolutely huge, so she will resolutely promote the use of first-mover advantage to build brand and scale effect and gain a larger market share.

Of course, he wouldn't get too involved in the management of the garment factory, but he would guide it in the general direction, using his experience from his previous life to help the garment factory earn more money and provide more job opportunities for the residents at the bottom of the abyss.

Making money and being able to do something for the Abyss—that's the best-case scenario, of course.

After arranging the medicine, Charlotte turned and went upstairs to her room.

Enter the bathroom, open the system shop, and your accumulated wealth points are 302660. You can directly exchange them for thirty bottles of strength potions with one click.

He drank all thirty bottles of strength potion, feeling the increase in his internal power until he absorbed all the effects of the medicine.

He turned on the tap and let the cold water pour over his body, allowing his surging energy to gradually subside.

He glanced at his attribute panel:

……

There are still 22 more Vitality Potions needed to break through to the fifth level of Elite Knight.

Based on the clinic's revenue over the past few days, it should be able to break through in three days.

One's own strength is the greatest source of confidence when facing threats.

Besides constantly improving himself in medicine and medical skills, he also highly values ​​the improvement of his strength and realm.

Especially when facing top-tier beings like the Night Watch and the Hermits, he could better appreciate the privileges and conveniences that come with power.

Of course, there are also corresponding responsibilities.

After leaving the bathroom, Charlotte first drew a few design sketches for the garment factory. The layout was based on the medium-sized garment factory where she had worked as a summer worker in her previous life. Of course, the specific details still needed to be discussed with Ivan to determine the final plan.

In addition, he drew a design for a foot-operated sewing machine based on his memory.

The factory's machines are definitely electric, but that's certainly not suitable for the current state of the abyss. This West Lake brand foot-operated sewing machine is more in line with the current needs of garment factories.

Hand sewing is relatively inefficient and the precision is not easy to control.

If this sewing machine can be replicated, female workers will be able to master it, which will greatly improve sewing efficiency and make precision control much easier.

Of course, the drawing is not precise enough, but it should work without major problems. It will require continuous correction and adjustment to reach a usable state.

He plans to hire Kerry and Guy to do this job. If they can produce usable finished products, the first batch of orders will be 100 units, which would be a big business.

Charlotte gathered the blueprints into a stack, took out the textbook "Surgical Procedures," a system reward, from her spatial ring, and began to carefully peruse it.

The title is written on the book cover: Surgical Procedures

There was no author's name, only a line of small print: Produced by the Divine Doctor System.

Opening the cover reveals the table of contents: Chapter 1: Basic Surgical Techniques; Chapter 2: Surgical Procedures and Shock...

Just looking at the table of contents gives it a textbook-like feel.

For a moment, it gave him the illusion of being back in his school dormitory.

However, the more Charlotte read, the more surprised she became.

Chapter 19: Surgery for Cerebrovascular Diseases; Chapter 20: Surgery for Intracranial Infections and Parasitic Diseases; Chapter 27: Lung Resection Surgery; Chapter 32: Heart Surgery…

That's right, there are many advanced surgical instructions following!

He had no control over any of these things.

The existence of this textbook at least gave him the possibility of trying to solve some more complex diseases.

Taking a deep breath to calm herself down, Charlotte didn't rush to look at the introduction to the more complex surgeries. Instead, she opened the first chapter in order: Basic Surgical Techniques.

"Any surgical procedure relies on basic surgical techniques. Every surgery is composed of countless basic actions, including incision, hemostasis, suturing, and knot tying. These procedures are all invasive, and any mistake can have very serious consequences..."

Charlotte read the book carefully, studying as she thought about how to teach her four students the next day, so that they could receive a more systematic and professional education.

He has now mastered basic surgical procedures, and his skills in incision, hemostasis, suturing, and knot tying are very proficient. With his rich surgical experience, he has achieved an extremely high level of proficiency.

Now, when treating wounds of patients with minor injuries, his superb debridement, hemostasis, and suturing skills allow patients to experience minimal pain without anesthesia.

For students like Lina who are just beginning to learn surgery, mastering these basic surgical procedures is the most important thing. Only with a solid foundation can they perform surgeries better, improve their surgical skills more quickly, and ultimately become excellent surgeons.

In addition, they are complete novices in the field of surgery, and it is necessary to teach them a lot of basic medical knowledge, such as infection prevention in the operating room, which is a very important part of the success rate of surgery.

Since he carried out a thorough cleaning of the clinic and raised the requirements for disinfection of operating rooms and medical equipment, the prognosis of surgical patients has generally been better, and surgical infections have occurred less frequently.

This needs to be continued, and even made more stringent. For example, the surgeon should wear a mask and protective clothing, and a water mage should thoroughly clean and disinfect the operating room after each surgery.

Unfortunately, the clinic's current conditions are not sufficient to meet these requirements; it can only try to prevent infection as much as possible.

Perhaps, once we move to the new clinic, with a larger space, a few more operating rooms, and recruit a water-based mage specifically for cleaning, the conditions will be met.

Taking notes in her notebook and writing presentation slides, Charlotte finally felt like a teacher.

She really went to great lengths for the students...
