I opened a clinic in the Abyss World

Chapter 8: The Mission from the Treant Amos

"I'm such a genius!"

After tidying up the alchemy room, Charlotte dragged her tired body to bed, still feeling a great sense of accomplishment.

The successful development of the hemostatic agent gave him even more confidence in running his clinic well.

However, today's workload made him realize that the clinic urgently needs a hardworking and capable assistant to handle miscellaneous tasks.

Once the rent is paid and the business is stable, he will consider hiring an assistant if there is any money left over.

Before closing her eyes to sleep, Charlotte glanced at her attribute panel.

His wealth value remained stable at 4323, and the fifteen silver coins he spent in the afternoon did not deduct any wealth value, which was consistent with his previous prediction.

He also possessed a special skill—the ability to concoct hemostatic agents.

What intrigued him most was the experience bar. He was currently at the beginner level. If he accumulated 1000 experience points and reached the intermediate level, would the hemostatic medicine he made also become an intermediate-level hemostatic medicine?

What if you reach the advanced level?

With beautiful dreams in her heart, Charlotte drifted off to sleep.

……

The two giant lanterns, each a thousand meters tall, turn the bustling city of Kalva into a city that never sleeps.

A white unicorn carriage slowly pulled up in front of a magnificent mansion. A handsome man in rich attire stepped out of the carriage, embracing a succubus with her breasts partially exposed. He asked the attendant beside him, "Did you catch that little girl?"

"Your Excellency, we have not yet found Vivian. I deduce that she has most likely already entered the Abyss." The attendant lowered his head, his forehead covered in cold sweat.

"A bunch of useless trash! They can't even catch a little girl who only knows healing spells." Capas's face turned cold, and a fireball was already leaping in his palm.

The servant turned pale and knelt down on the ground with a thud.

"Your Excellency, this is Calva. Do not forget the Duke's instructions before his departure." An old man in a gray robe walked up from behind. With just one glance, the fireball in Capas's hand went out.

"Consider yourselves lucky." Capas put his hand down and said, "Go find Carol. The Abyss is his territory. Have him drag that girl out."

"Yes!" The servant, feeling as if he had been granted a pardon, immediately scrambled to his feet and ran away.

Capas embraced the succubus and walked toward the mansion, with the gray-robed old man following beside him.

"Viscount, you've come here for Miss Elizabeth's sake, so you should be mindful of your words and actions in Calva City. You know the importance of this marriage alliance." The gray-robed elder glanced at the succubus.

"Go to my room and wait for me." Capas patted the succubus's plump buttocks.

The succubus wisely departed.

"Uncle Bill, Father asked you to protect me and, incidentally, keep an eye on me," Capas said to the gray-robed old man with a helpless expression.

Bill didn't respond, but instead said, "Carroll is untrustworthy. If the ledgers fall into the hands of the Judson family, it will be a troublesome matter for the Duke."

"Don't worry, even if the Judson family had a hundred times the courage, they wouldn't dare to do such a thing. They've always wanted to sell potions to the Lance Empire, and Carol has even come to me several times for this. I'm just giving them a chance." Capas grinned, revealing a sinister smile. "If they don't seize the opportunity, they know what the consequences will be."

……

Charlotte got up very early, and although she kept yawning, she still couldn't bear to give herself a bottle of energy-boosting potion.

I went out and bought two black breads for four copper coins. I ate one to fill my stomach and kept the other for lunch.

Poverty gave him a strong will to face adversity.

Before any patients arrived, he cleaned the operating room.

A poor surgical environment can easily lead to postoperative infections and increase mortality.

As for those miscellaneous surgical instruments, they gave him a real headache.

The rusty iron saw and scalpel were practically enchanted tetanus blades; only warriors could step off the operating table.

Charlotte selected two of the sharper short knives with fewer rust spots, polished and cleaned them, and then sterilized them by boiling.

"This is more like a tool for chopping people than a scalpel." Charlotte waved the half-pound dagger in her hand, finding it really awkward to use as a scalpel.

There was a dwarf blacksmith shop on Bacca Street. After paying the rent and having some extra money, Charlotte considered having a handy scalpel made for herself.

His current goal is to earn 10,000 yuan! He opens the system shop to see what good things are available.

This system is really awesome.

Earn money from both ends with one task.

The money earned can be spent on two fronts.

This is double the happiness!

Boom!Boom!Boom!

Just then, the clinic door suddenly shook violently, and the loud knocking sounded like someone was pounding it with a battering ram.

"What's going on? There shouldn't be a case of a home invasion robbery in broad daylight on Bacca Street, right?" Charlotte exclaimed in surprise. She grabbed a magic charm, hid a short knife in her hand, and then carefully opened the door.

Upon opening the door, I was met with a pair of large, cloudy eyes.

Then came a large face that filled the entire doorway.

It was a face covered in grayish-brown bark, its features contorted in pain, but its eyes shone with hope the moment it saw Charlotte.

They are tree people!

The tree-man took two steps back, and Charlotte was able to see the full appearance of this giant tree-man, which was over nine meters tall.

Despite his towering stature, the tree-man appeared weak in many ways. Much of his bark had peeled off, revealing withered branches. His right arm was broken, with burn marks on the broken part, but these were all old injuries.

He clutched his throat with his left hand, looking extremely pained. When he saw Charlotte staring at him, he quickly pointed to his open mouth.

"Choked by a foreign object?" Charlotte quickly understood what he meant.

The tree man immediately nodded.

[Ding! Treant Amos has issued you an urgent mission: Remove the foreign object choking him! Mission Reward: 100 Copper Coins!]

The system's voice then sounded.

"If someone is choking, you should immediately use the Heimlich maneuver: hug the patient from behind, make a fist and place it between the lower edge of their ribs and their navel, then push upwards..." Charlotte stopped recalling as she looked at the tree-man's enormous body.

Clearly, none of the people present, including the neighbors who came out to watch the commotion, were able to provide such first aid to the tree-man.

"It's truly a strange thing that a tree-man choked to death."

"Why would a tree spirit come to the abyss instead of staying in the forest? This place is not suitable for tree spirits to live in at all; they can't even get any sunlight here."

"Could we cut some wood to burn later? We've just run out of firewood."

The onlookers whispered among themselves, showing little pity.

Charlotte had no time to marvel at the kindness of humanity. Looking at the tree-man's enormous body, its head nearly a story high, and its mouth that opened like a door, she had a new idea and shouted, "Lower your head, and maybe I can remove the foreign object for you."

The tree-man was near suffocation, was somewhat agitated, and was gradually losing control of his body.

But upon hearing Charlotte's voice, it was as if he had grasped at a last straw. He crawled down towards the clinic, his huge face once again squeezing in front of the clinic door.

"Open your mouth!" Charlotte said.

The tree-man opened its mouth as if opening a door, easily swallowing an adult human whole.

A strong, pungent stench wafted over, like a sewer that had been stored for eighty-two years. The indescribable stench made Charlotte instinctively cover her mouth and nose.

The gaping maw was pitch black inside, and nothing could be seen.

The abyss's poor visibility was clearly insufficient to illuminate the situation inside the treant's mouth.

Charlotte turned around and took an oil lamp from the wall behind her, but looking at the pitch-black maw of the abyss, a hint of hesitation arose in her heart.

He is now just a mortal, and if he were to enter the mouth of a tree-man, he would suddenly go berserk and lose control, with a very high probability of death.

ho ho-

The tree-man made a weak sound from its throat, like a leaky bellows, and its body began to tremble uncontrollably.

The situation is critical; we can't delay any longer!

"I'm coming in!"

Charlotte, carrying an oil lamp, looked at the enormous, dark maw and stepped inside.

The inside of the tree-man's mouth wasn't as sticky as she had imagined, and Charlotte walked inside, holding an oil lamp.

"The wear and tear on these teeth is absolutely appalling! They all need to be replaced!"

"My oral health is worrying; I need a thorough cleaning!"

Charlotte grumbled as she flipped over her half-meter-high brown teeth, ignoring the various plant fibers and bits of meat left between them, and climbed onto her pale tongue, heading towards the depths of her throat.

He must find the foreign object stuck in the tree-man's throat and then manage to remove it.

With another person inside his mouth, the intense sensation of a foreign object made it impossible for the giant to maintain a calm environment.

An uneasy tongue, trembling teeth, and wriggling oral cavity walls were all dangerous to Charlotte.

Soon, Charlotte climbed over the tip of her tongue, stood on the base of it, and held up the oil lamp in her hand to shine into the dark depths of her throat, where a narrow, dark passage sloping downwards was.

Hi, how are you?

Just then, a faint sound came from deep within the treant's throat, echoing continuously in its narrow mouth.

The eerie sound startled Charlotte so much that her hand trembled, and the oil lamp almost flew out of her grasp.
