I opened a clinic in the Abyss World

"This...is too exaggerated, isn't it?" Charlotte exclaimed, somewhat speechless.

He asked Diana to keep things simple, but she went to great lengths and made such a big fuss.

The windows of the dormitory across the way were also opened one after another, and everyone looked at this scene with expressions of surprise and delight.

The entire street was awakened by the deafening sound of gongs and drums. People opened their windows, cursing and swearing, then shut their mouths again.

The Abyss Medical Clinic is opening, what's wrong with having a bit of a commotion?

This was all arranged by Miss Diana herself, so what's wrong with making the drums and gongs a little louder?

That's great, let's go join in the fun.

Charlotte began washing up and picked out the gorgeous black tuxedo from the wardrobe to put on.

There was no way around it; Diana had already set the mood, so he had to play along.

The reopening of the Abyss Medical Clinic will be a significant turning point in his life, and it's something to be commemorated.

If nothing unexpected happens, this clinic will be his base point on his journey to the continent of Aesop.

In that case, his friends should be notified.

On such an important day, it feels like something is missing without the presence of friends.

Charlotte went outside and saw Vivian and Martha coming out in gorgeous dresses.

"Boss! Your outfit is great!" Vivian twirled around, her puffy skirt making a circle. "How's my skirt?"

"Very cute." Charlotte nodded with a smile.

"So, we're just having the opening ceremony today and don't need to do any business?" Vivian asked again.

"After the opening ceremony, we'll operate as usual," Charlotte said. "We can change our clothes afterward."

"Okay, then I'll take the clothes with me." Vivian nodded, then thought for a moment and added, "The girls across the street probably don't have any pretty dresses."

"Don't worry about the details," Charlotte said with a smile and a shake of her head.

Ino prepared breakfast as usual, and Hattie got up early to help today.

Upon seeing Charlotte and Vivian dressed in their finest attire, their eyes lit up.

"Teacher, today's opening ceremony is so lively! Is it a big-scale event?" Ino asked.

Charlotte smiled and nodded: "We can't refuse the landlady's kindness. Now that the stage is set, let's put on a good show."

"Did you invite any friends to come?" Vivian asked.

Charlotte shook her head: "The timing was rushed. We came back from the Elf City, how could we have had time to inform any friends?"

  

"Then you'll have to accept far fewer gifts," Vivian said with a regretful expression.

Charlotte felt a pang of heartache upon hearing this. How could he not have thought that he could receive gifts at the opening ceremony? Otherwise, he would have casually mentioned it in the Red Moon group, and perhaps he could have received some gifts.

And what about those patient owners? If you send them invitations, they'll have to bring some gifts too, right?

Lina and the others came over, had a simple breakfast together, and then everyone dressed and went out together.

"Congratulations, Dr. Charlotte! Congratulations on your grand opening!"

"Congratulations, Dr. Charlotte! May you have guests from all directions and your wealth increase dramatically!"

"Dr. Charlotte is a skilled healer; may your business prosper!"

As soon as Charlotte stepped outside, she was surrounded by neighbors who all congratulated her.

"Thank you, thank you for your kind words, thank you for your blessings..."

Charlotte returned the neighbors' blessings with a bow. They were all familiar faces from her daily life, and she couldn't possibly be rude to them.

"Just a little something to wish you prosperity and a successful business!" The bald bookstore owner leaned forward and slipped an oil-paper bag into Charlotte's hand.

Charlotte immediately recognized it as a picture book upon weighing it and promptly stored it in her spatial ring.

Even the bookstore owner, a rather sleazy old man, had to carry the picture books in an oil-paper bag. If you were to open them on the spot, he was worried he would be so embarrassed on the opening day.

"Thanks," Charlotte said, probably because "Ghostly Encounters" was newly released.

The bald boss set a precedent, as if enlightening the other neighbors, who one by one took out gifts and stuffed them into Charlotte's arms.

"No need for gifts, no need for gifts. We're all neighbors, why be so polite?"

"The owner of Harriman Money Exchange gifted me a pair of gold-inlaid jade bracelets! What a generous boss!"

"Furniture store owner Amanda gave him a gold bar, and he had twins in one go!"

Charlotte received so many gifts that her hands were sore, but luckily she hadn't disposed of her three spatial rings yet. She simply put the gifts she received into her spatial rings to avoid the embarrassment of being overwhelmed by gifts.

It took him half an hour to walk 800 meters; anyone who didn't know better would have thought he was lost.

"When did our boss become so popular on Bacca Street?" Vivian asked in a low voice.

"When these colorful flags were hung up this morning," Martha said.

Vivian seemed thoughtful upon hearing this; it turned out that what they liked wasn't necessarily the boss.

Lina, Bernie, and the others were all amazed, which showed that the teacher was indeed a person of great status in the Abyss, and was loved and respected by his neighbors.

Charlotte and her companions finally arrived at the entrance of the new medical clinic. A two-meter-high platform had been erected in front of the door, where three succubus dancers were swaying their supple waists and plump hips, fully releasing their charm and drawing cheers from the crowd.

Diana was wearing a stunning ice-blue evening gown today, studded with blue diamonds, and a blue teardrop necklace around her neck, which made her fair and slender neck look like a swan's. She stood in front of the door, smiling, just like the lady of the house, looking at Charlotte with a smile.

Charlotte walked straight towards her, laughing, and said, "Is it really necessary to be so dramatic?"

Diana reached out and straightened his bow tie, smiling slightly. "Don't you like it?"

"Then I must admit, it's hard to say I don't like it." Charlotte looked at her earnestly. "Thank you for your hard work. You've been preparing for quite a few days, haven't you?"

"You noticed?" A hint of surprise flashed in Diana's eyes.

"Where can you find all these people and prepare all these banners and flags in just one night?" Charlotte shrugged.

Diana nodded: "I did prepare a little in advance. I know you're busy, so I prepared it for you first."

Charlotte's smile deepened as she glanced at the succubus dancers on the platform and asked, "So, what's next? A ribbon-cutting ceremony?"

"The ribbon-cutting is the final step. Since it's the opening of a new clinic, we should naturally welcome guests from all directions first," Diana said with a smile.

"Roland, the eldest son of the Duru family, has arrived!" A carriage bearing the Duru family crest slowly came to a stop.

Roland stepped down from the carriage carrying a golden brocade box, walked towards Charlotte with a broad smile, handed the box to Charlotte, and congratulated her, "Congratulations on the opening of your new medical clinic."

"Thank you." Charlotte, carrying the heavy brocade box, asked with a smile, "What brings you here?"

"Almost everyone in the Abyss knows this news, how could I not come?" Roland asked with a smile.

"Should we open the brocade box and read out the message that Roland, the eldest son of the Duru family, sent XX?"

"Don't embarrass yourself." Roland rolled his eyes at him.

"Thanks," Charlotte said with a smile, putting the brocade box into her spatial ring, her mood instantly brightening.

Sure enough, what I dared not give was something else entirely. At this time of year, it's still quite heartwarming to have friends come to offer their congratulations.

"I didn't expect the Duru family to send Young Master Roland to deliver the gift in person. It seems that even the Duru family values ​​Dr. Charlotte very much."

"Dr. Charlotte is amazing."

Roland's arrival with gifts attracted considerable attention and discussion.

"Monica, the patriarch of the Daniel family, has arrived!"

Another drawn-out shout rang out.

A carriage bearing the Daniel family crest arrived, and the crowd parted to stop in front of the clinic.

The carriage door opened, and Monica stepped down, smiling as she walked towards Charlotte: "Congratulations, Dr. Charlotte, on the opening of your clinic today. I've come to offer my congratulations."

As she spoke, she produced a purple-gold brocade box and handed it to Charlotte.

"Thank you for coming." Charlotte accepted the brocade box with both hands. She was quite surprised by Monica's arrival. After all, Monica was an elder, and her personal presence was a show of support for his Abyss Medical Clinic.

"Chief Monica is here too! Dr. Charlotte has quite the influence!"

"Exactly, exactly. The representatives of the three major families of the Abyss have all gathered together. This is an incredible show of prestige."

"From now on, the Abyss Medical Clinic will be the most awesome in the Abyss! Without a doubt!"

The onlookers immediately erupted in excitement. Monica's arrival was enough to prove Charlotte's current status in the Abyss.

Diana prepared and hosted the grand opening ceremony for her, and Roland and Monica personally visited to present gifts and congratulations—a scene that had never occurred before.

"The Calva Chamber of Commerce, Vice President Billy Kroll, and Miss Jenny Kroll have arrived!"

Another shout rang out.

A magnificent carriage came to a stop, and the crowd immediately fell silent.

Billy and Jenny stepped off the carriage, both smiling broadly as they walked toward Charlotte.

"You've come too." Charlotte's eyes lit up, somewhat surprised.

"Congratulations on the opening of your new clinic. I have prepared a small gift, but it is of little importance," Billy said with a smile. Two guards behind him carried a large box and placed it in front of Charlotte.

"What treasures are in such a big box?" Charlotte asked curiously.

"I'm a rather unsophisticated person." Billy flung open the box, and a golden light shone so brightly it almost blinded Charlotte.

"I like your kind of down-to-earth...friend." Charlotte slammed the lid on, smiled, and shook hands with Billy.

"Congratulations on the opening of your new clinic. It's a new beginning," Jenny said with a smile, handing over a brocade box.

"Thank you." Charlotte smiled and accepted the gift. "What brings you here?"

"Do you really know how close Calva is to the Abyss? It's hard for us not to know such things." Jenny glanced at Diana, who was standing smiling beside Charlotte, her gaze slightly complicated, but she didn't say anything.

Charlotte smiled and nodded, her happiness increasing even more.

"The vice president and young lady of the Calva Chamber of Commerce have also come to congratulate Charlotte. Dr. Charlotte's friends are truly impressive!"

"Yes, the Calva Chamber of Commerce is quite large."

People stared at Billy and Jenny in astonishment.

In a small place like the Abyss, being able to get close to Kalva always gives people a sense of great power.

"The Elven High Priest has sent a congratulatory gift!"

Then came another shout.

Charlotte turned around in surprise. Betty approached with a tray carrying two brocade boxes. She smiled and said, "Dr. Charlotte, the High Priest and the Saintess have entrusted me to congratulate you. These are their gifts. Please accept them."

"Thank you for coming all this way. Please convey my gratitude to the High Priest and the Holy Maiden," Charlotte said, accepting the two brocade boxes.

"Chief Constantine of the Golden Dragon Clan has sent an envoy with congratulatory gifts!" came another shout.

A golden dragon descended from the sky, transforming into a beam of golden light and landing in front of the clinic. It then appeared as a handsome young man in golden armor, carrying a large golden box in his hands. He looked at Charlotte and said, "Dr. Charlotte, the clan chief sent me to offer you his congratulations."

"Thank you for your kindness. Please convey my thanks to Lord Constantine." Charlotte took the box, which weighed over a thousand pounds. She wondered what was inside. Perhaps it was another large box of gold. Her mood became even more cheerful.

"I'd long heard of Dr. Charlotte's extraordinary connections, but I never imagined she was connected to the Elven High Priest and the Golden Dragon Clan Chief. For them to send envoys with gifts, their relationship must be quite special!"

"Yeah, with that connection, you can practically do whatever you want on the continent of Aesop."

The onlookers and patients were immediately in an uproar.

Monica's beautiful eyes swept over Charlotte, lost in thought.

Roland also looked thoughtful, clearly somewhat surprised by the two envoys.

"It seems the rumors are true," Billy whispered to Jenny.

Jenny nodded: "How could he have done it without Lord Benjamin's support, recruiting students, opening a temporary clinic, and building a potion trading center in the Elf City?"

Charlotte was very satisfied with the expressions of the onlookers. This was what creating momentum meant.

"A miracle! Charlotte!" A voice suddenly rang out from the crowd.

Charlotte immediately heard the signal, quickly scanned the crowd, and then stepped forward, pulling out the witch Louise who was being squeezed out of the crowd.

Louise tossed her ruffled red wavy hair and looked at Charlotte, saying, "Wow, so many people! Did your clinic just open today? Did I catch a lucky break?"

Charlotte smiled and nodded: "Yes, it's better to be lucky than early, but if you want to join the feast, you'll have to wait until tonight."

"That's alright. I was planning to come and visit you for three to five days anyway. As long as you cover my food and lodging, that's fine." Louise smiled and didn't seem to care at all.

Diana and Jenny both stared at Louise at the same time.

"And who is this?" Diana asked.

"This is my friend..."

Before Charlotte could finish speaking, Louise interrupted, "I'm Louise, Charlotte's good friend. Hello!"

"Hello." Diana nodded slightly. She could vaguely sense the strength of this generous and poised young woman, who was stronger than her, even though she looked much younger.

Jenny carefully examined Louise's attire. Her blue tulle dress was adorned with many small pearls, which at first glance seemed luxurious, but upon closer inspection, one could discover that they were all extremely precious deep-sea conch pearls, which had been drilled to decorate the dress.

The same goes for the shoes adorned with pearls; even a single pearl the size of a thumb could be worth a million copper coins.

The woman was dressed in extremely luxurious clothes, which made Jenny curious about her identity.

There is absolutely no such person as Kalva.

"The sea creatures are extremely powerful," Billy whispered to her.

Jenny seemed to understand. In that case, her attire would be acceptable, and it might even make Uncle Billy seem extremely powerful. This showed that the sea girl's strength was definitely not to be underestimated.

"Why didn't you tell me sooner? I didn't bring any gifts." Louise looked at Charlotte with a hint of reproach, then thought for a moment, took off the seashell from her waist, and handed it over.

"This is?"

"Here's the blue coral you wanted. I've packed it all in here as a gift for your opening," Louise said.

"Thank you so much!" Charlotte's eyes lit up. The price of blue coral was extremely expensive. This shell looked like a spatial storage item. She wondered how much blue coral Louise had put in it for him.

"But how do you use this thing?"

"It's very simple, just like your spatial rings, you just need to silently recite..." Louise whispered in Charlotte's ear.

Charlotte's eyes lit up, and she nodded, saying, "I understand."

Carefully put the seashell away. It was truly a generous gift, an essential material for refining the Deep Blue Magic Potion, and its selling price was extremely high, making it a rare and highly sought-after item.

"Please have a seat here," Diana said with a smile, directing Louise to the side.

"This beautiful lady is..." Louise looked at Charlotte with a smile, "Your wife?"

Diana blushed slightly and subconsciously looked at Charlotte.

"This is Diana, my landlady," Charlotte explained.

"Oh, I see." Louise nodded and followed Diana's directions to take a seat in the VIP section.

Charlotte figured that most of his friends should have arrived by now. After all, he had only been here for a few months, and it was already quite an achievement to have made so many friends. A familiar carriage pulled up and stopped in front of the clinic.

"Elder Adolf of the Medical Association has arrived!" Vivian shouted at the top of her lungs.

Adolf alighted from the carriage, first surveying the exterior of the new clinic, nodding slightly before walking towards Charlotte. He took out a golden brocade box from his spatial ring and looked at Charlotte, saying, "You've moved to a bigger clinic. Are you preparing for something big?"

"It's true that we can treat more patients and provide them with a better medical environment," Charlotte said with a smile, accepting the brocade box from Adolf. "Thank you so much for taking the time out of your busy schedule to come."

It was obvious that Vivian had leaked the news to Adolf, but Charlotte was still somewhat surprised that he came in person.

After all, Adolf's identity is quite extraordinary. As the Grand Elder of the Medical Association, his presence at the opening ceremony of the Abyss Medical Clinic is tantamount to supporting him.

This incident will likely put him under considerable pressure within the medical association.

"The Grand Elder of the Physicians' Association is here too! Doesn't that mean the Abyss Medical Clinic has the full support of the Physicians' Association?"

"Dr. Charlotte's medical skills are so excellent that it's only natural that she receives strong support from the Medical Association."

People whispered among themselves, quite excited about Adolf's arrival.
