I opened a clinic in the Abyss World

She set up a stall in Baiyunfang Market, worked hard for a month without a single day off, and finally earned 2500 copper coins.

The difference was so great that she couldn't even imagine it.

Most importantly, the saint made a promise that the temple would be responsible for their safety and freedom.

She will not be going to the abyss alone; there will be nearly ten elves with her in the abyss.

Moreover, they can return to work in the Elf City in the future.

In that case, it doesn't seem so scary anymore.

"I agree, I agree to join your potion workshop, learn to make potions under your guidance, and become a potion master," Eunice said solemnly to Charlotte.

"Very good, Eunice, welcome to the Abyss Medical Center. I hope you can become an excellent pharmacist." Charlotte looked at Eunice with appreciation, and he was very satisfied with the girl's decisiveness after confirming the decision.

"Thank you," Eunice said gratefully, unable to hide her excitement.

She had been stuck in the mire of setting up a stall in Baiyunfang Market for a long time, and the quagmire of life made her unable to break free and sink deeper and deeper.

Now Charlotte has suddenly reached out a hand to her, pulled her out of the mire, and given her a ladder to climb up; she must seize this opportunity.

"Welcome, Eunice. I'm Vivian. Your sweet soup is delicious. It's such a waste to throw away these ingredients. Why don't you take them to the Abyss? That way, we can enjoy delicious sweet soup more often." Vivian stepped forward, grabbed Eunice's hand, and strongly suggested.

  

"I second that, I second that, we can pay for it," Martha added.

"I don't have any money, but you can put it on my tab," Evelyn added.

Eunice, who was initially a little nervous, relaxed completely after being overwhelmed by the warm and welcoming atmosphere of the medical staff. She smiled and nodded, "Okay, I'll take them all with me."

"You don't need to pack it, I'll pack it for you." Charlotte waved her hand, and the stall disappeared.

Eunice looked around, somewhat confused. "Where's my car?"

"I've put it in my spatial ring. I'll release it for you when we get to the Abyss tomorrow," Charlotte explained with a smile, waving the spatial ring on her hand.

"Okay, thank you." Eunice smiled sweetly again.

Lois told her the meeting place for tomorrow and told her to go home and prepare. The group then parted ways.

"Are you satisfied?" Lois asked with a smile, looking at Charlotte's beaming face.

"I'm very satisfied. This girl is definitely a promising apothecary. I've been struggling to expand my apothecary workshop lately because I can't find a suitable apothecary. You've helped me a lot." Charlotte nodded emphatically, unable to hide her excitement.

Putting aside everything else, Eunice's control over the amount of materials she uses allows her to quickly master standardized potion refining, so the second production line in the potion workshop can be started immediately, and doubling the output is not a problem.

As for whether she has a talent for developing pharmaceuticals, we'll have to wait and see.

However, Charlotte is already very satisfied with the current situation.

Furthermore, Eunice is a water mage, which gives her many advantages in the potion-making process.

Charlotte is satisfied with her in every way now.

Lois smiled upon receiving Charlotte's praise; thankfully, she had spent a lot of time wandering around the Elf City and found someone quite reliable.

Maria followed at the back, looking at Charlotte with increasing confusion.

She knew that Charlotte was a very talented apothecary who had developed a potion-averse agent that swept across the entire continent of Aesop, suppressing the once-dominant potion industry to the point of near extinction.

Later, nettle extract was also extracted, which shone brightly on the night of the red moon and became a special potion to remove the demonic influence.

But wasn't he too hasty in recruiting pharmacist apprentices?

Did he randomly pick a girl making sweet soup on the food street and then immediately take her on as an apprentice?

If this person weren't Charlotte, Maria would definitely think he was a creepy old man trying to abduct innocent young girls.

Anyway, she still doesn't understand it. The recruitment of doctors and pharmacists is too casual, to the point that she can't comprehend it.

"Who's next?" Charlotte looked at Lois expectantly. He no longer wanted to find the person himself and would just follow Lois's list. At least it wouldn't be too bad, and there might even be a surprise.

"Miranda, a street cleaner, usually works in that section up ahead. Let's go over there and see if we can run into her," Lois said.

"Is she married? Does she have children?" Charlotte asked.

"Why are you asking this?" Lois looked at him in confusion.

"Mothers are generally reluctant to travel far if their children are young. If the other party is unwilling, I certainly won't force them," Charlotte explained.

Lois shook her head: "Oh, that's not a problem. She's only twenty-three, unmarried and childless."

"So young?" Charlotte asked, somewhat surprised. "How did she become a street cleaner? What are her skills?"

"A high-level water mage," Lois said.

"That strong?" Charlotte was even more surprised.

Lois continued, "Jobs for water mages have always been hard to find. Low-level water mages usually work as cleaners or maids. However, high-level water mages have escaped the awkward situation of being low-level and now possess attack power that is no weaker than other mages of the same level."

Miranda, however, had a gentle nature. She was unwilling to fight with others, nor did she want to join an adventurer's party to hunt monsters in the wilderness. Therefore, despite possessing excellent water magic talent, she ultimately chose to become a cleaner, responsible for sweeping several streets.

Charlotte pondered. This woman was quite interesting; a high-level magician responsible for sweeping the streets was a rare sight indeed.

However, she dislikes fighting and is unwilling to hunt magical beasts. This situation needs to be clarified. If she, like Ino, cannot bear bloodshed, then she will not be able to perform the job of an operating room assistant.

Ino led them around three streets, which were not only free of litter, but the stone pavement and the trees planted along the roadside were also spotless and extremely clean.

"Is she going home to rest after work?" Vivian muttered.

No sooner had she finished speaking than Lois, who was walking at the front, exclaimed in surprise, "They're not going home! They're just ahead!"

On the long street, an elf dressed in a plain blue dress strolled under the shade of the trees. Sunlight filtered through the leaves and dappled her waist-length golden hair, making her appear quite relaxed and carefree.

Beside her were a group of animals formed from solidified water: lions leaping and playing, a herd of deer walking side by side, and elephants strolling leisurely. In mid-air, a whale led a group of dolphins through the roadside trees on both sides, looking up at the sky as if they were swimming in a deep blue ocean.

Seeing this scene in the Elf Forest felt like a dream.

The group instinctively stopped in their tracks, staring at the scene in astonishment.

"Such amazing water control!" Maria exclaimed in admiration.

"Extremely powerful." Vivian nodded in deep agreement. As a water-type intermediate mage who was about to break through, she knew very well how ingenious the elf's methods were.

She can also conjure animals, which is a very common water magician's method of controlling water.

But she absolutely could not bring so many animals together at the same time and make them act as if they were playing around.

During this process, the ground and trees on both sides of the road were also thoroughly cleaned.

In her understanding, even high-level magicians rarely possessed this ability to control water.

Charlotte nodded repeatedly, thinking that with such water control abilities, it would be a waste of her talents to be a surgical assistant at a clinic.

Of course, sweeping the streets here would be a waste of his talents.

In comparison, being an operating room assistant seems better.

Connie was also somewhat stunned. As a water mage who was only proficient in cleaning magic, she was extremely impressed by her sister's superb water control skills and found them astounding.

Seemingly sensing someone approaching from behind, the elf turned around and looked over.

She has a delicate and pretty face with refined features, and her eyes are curved, giving her a gentle look. She doesn't have the kind of stunning appearance that immediately catches the eye; she's more like a gentle girl next door.

"Miranda," Lois greeted her with a smile.

"Saintess." Miranda nodded slightly in greeting, a hint of panic in her eyes. The animals that had been frolicking wildly seemed to be startled and disappeared into the nearby bushes.

Charlotte found the elf increasingly amusing as she watched this scene unfold.

If it were an ordinary person, upon seeing them, the magic would dissipate, and the animals would simply turn into a puddle of water and fall to the ground.

But she made them disappear into the bushes as if the animals were real.

Now that Miranda has discovered Lois, the recruitment method will have to be changed depending on the circumstances.

Lois led the group forward and got straight to the point: "This is Dr. Charlotte, who has come to the Elf City at the invitation of the High Priest to recruit students and assistants. I recommended you to him to be the operating room assistant. I wonder if you are interested?"

Miranda glanced at Charlotte, then asked in surprise, "Operating room assistant? Me?"

Charlotte nodded and said, "Yes, I'd like to recruit a few water mages as operating room assistants to help doctors perform surgeries. I just saw your superb water manipulation skills, so I wanted to ask if you're interested."

Miranda hesitated for a moment, then shook her head and said, "I'm sorry, I don't quite understand what you're saying. Why would a doctor's assistant need a water mage?"

Charlotte explained, "We are a very new type of doctor. We don't rely on healing spells as our primary treatment method. Instead, we provide targeted treatment based on the patient's specific condition. For example, if a patient has a broken bone, we will cut open their arm, set the broken bones back together, and then suture the arm back together. During the surgery, we need to ensure that the patient's wound is absolutely clean. The cleansing spells of water magic perfectly meet this requirement, effectively improving surgical efficiency and reducing the patient's chance of infection."

Miranda looked bewildered, and after listening, she felt even more confused, completely unable to imagine the treatment method Charlotte had described.

If Lois hadn't been there, and seemed to be his friend, she would have definitely thought this man was a fraud.

Moreover, being watched by so many people, she began to feel uneasy and wanted to escape.

Charlotte knew that recruiting operating room assistants was different from recruiting doctors. It was essentially a job, not a high-level one, with no very high income, and it was difficult to learn much in the job. It would be hard for anyone to decide to leave their hometown and travel thousands of kilometers to work there. He could only try to recruit them.

"You might not understand what I'm saying right now. Her name is Connie, and she's currently the clinic's only operating room assistant. Perhaps you can listen to her explanation of her job duties to help you better understand them before making a decision," Charlotte introduced Connie to her.

Upon hearing this, Miranda looked at Connie, who was standing to the side, with a hint of curiosity.

She could tell at a glance that this girl was also a water mage. She looked young, but she was already an intermediate mage, and she didn't seem to be a simple human. Water elements were very active around her body.

Connie hadn't expected Charlotte to ask her to share her experience, but she also knew that her words might influence the judgment of this incredibly powerful elf sister in deciding whether to join the Abyss Medical Center.

So after a slight hesitation, Connie stepped forward, blushing, and said to Miranda, "Hello, sister, I'm Connie. I recently joined the Abyss Medical Center, and my main responsibility right now is to assist doctors in performing surgeries. My job mainly involves cleaning the operating room to ensure it's bacteria-free, cleaning wounds for injured patients so that doctors can perform surgery, cleaning wounds and instruments according to the doctor's needs during surgery, and then thoroughly cleaning the operating room after the surgery."

Miranda nodded slightly. The young woman gave her a sense of warmth, and from her words, she was at least certain that the man from before hadn't lied; they seemed to be undergoing a very new treatment.

The job of the so-called operating room assistant seems to be somewhat tedious. Although they only use the most basic magic, cleaning, throughout the entire process, it is used very frequently and doesn't seem to offer much freedom.

"I really enjoy this job because I feel deeply involved in treating patients. Although I'm just an assistant, responsible for some supporting work, my supervisor always says I'm an indispensable part. And every patient expresses their gratitude to me after treatment. This sense of recognition and accomplishment is something I've never experienced before." Connie looked sincerely at Miranda: "Sister, maybe you should give it a try. It's a very meaningful and fulfilling job."

Miranda stared at her, stunned.

She was always searching for the meaning of life. She didn't like using magic to attack others. Even though she had mastered those highly offensive spells, she didn't want to go into the forest to hunt magical beasts and animals. She didn't like the feeling of life being annihilated in her hands.

Freedom is her way of life. She stays away from crowds and quietly chooses to work as a cleaner in the most remote neighborhood.

But every day feels so empty, so I take a bunch of animals for a walk and sweep the streets to console myself.

Connie's words did indeed somewhat tempt her.

Saving a life, helping a patient treat their injuries, and receiving praise and gratitude from the patient—that sense of accomplishment must be much stronger than cleaning a street, right?

The clinics in the Elf City would never offer such jobs to water-based mages.

A pure water-based mage can only be responsible for cleaning in the clinic and has no opportunity to be involved in treating patients.

Charlotte's eyes lit up; judging from Miranda's expression, it seemed like there was a chance.

"Excuse me, where is your clinic?" Miranda asked Charlotte.

"Our clinic is located in the Abyss, a small town only five kilometers from Calva," Charlotte replied.

"It's such a faraway place..." Miranda suddenly had second thoughts. She knew that Kalva was at least tens of thousands of kilometers away from the Elf City. She had never traveled such a long distance in her life, let alone gone to work in such a faraway place.

Charlotte looked at Miranda and smiled, "Do you know why the High Priest is so supportive of my recruitment of students and assistants in the Elf City? It's because I promised him that I would establish a new clinic in the Elf City within three years, and all the doctors in this clinic will be elven doctors trained by me. In this clinic, the average medical fee for patients will be less than 500 copper coins, and the daily capacity will be no less than 1000 patients."

"Less than 500 copper coins per person?" Miranda looked at Charlotte with some surprise. This price was too low!

She was somewhat familiar with the medical fees in the Elf City; the exorbitant fees, often exceeding ten thousand copper coins, deterred the vast majority of patients.

Charlotte's claim that she wants to open a clinic in the Elf City with an average cost of 500 copper coins per person and a daily capacity of no less than 1000 patients is simply unbelievable.

However, he also said that the high priest strongly supported this matter, and that Saint Lois was standing right next to him, so he certainly wouldn't dare to lie.

Bringing affordable healthcare to the Elf City and enabling more impoverished people to receive treatment, joining such a clinic seems truly meaningful!

"If you join the Abyss Medical Clinic now, I guarantee that within three years, you will return to work at the elven city's medical clinic with the best group of elven doctors." Charlotte looked at her and smiled. "You can consider it. If you're interested, come to the temple to see me before noon tomorrow."

After saying that, Charlotte stopped trying to persuade her, exchanged a glance with Lois, and prepared to leave.

"Wait a minute!" Charlotte had only taken two steps when Miranda called out to him.

Charlotte turned and looked at her.

Miranda's previously conflicted gaze hardened as she looked at Charlotte with unwavering resolve and said, "I've made up my mind. I choose to join your clinic. I also want to pursue the meaning of my life."

Charlotte smiled and said, "Welcome to the Abyss Medical Center. If you experience any discomfort or if things don't meet your expectations, feel free to tell me, and I will send you back to the Elf City."

Miranda nodded; the promise was very sincere.
