Run A Medical Clinic In The Abyssal World

Charlotte followed the long queue, and the further back he went, the more confident his footsteps became. He was indifferent to the people around him, holding a bottle of gold-plated antidote against his will, almost pressing it against his head.

People who were ranked outside the top hundred couldn't help but show envy.

When they reached the three-hundredth spot, a middle-aged man wearing a large gold chain couldn't resist stopping Charlotte.

A smile squeezed out on his chubby face as he said, "Young man, are there still any goods inside? Can we, who are at the back of the line, still buy them?"

The people in front and behind him also turned to look at Charlotte.

They were so far behind that they didn't know if they would be able to buy anything today. If they couldn't, they might as well go back home instead of waiting for three to five hours in line.

Charlotte stopped in his tracks and frowned.

"It's hard to say. They haven't put the goods on the shelves yet. But I overheard a salesperson whispering earlier. They didn't expect so many people to come today, and they don't know if they have enough stock."

His ambiguous answer made the people in the queue restless like they had been scratched by a cat, feeling uncomfortable.

"Luckily I came early and waited for so long. I finally managed to grab a bottle, and it was even the gold-plated one. I heard that the potion costs a hundred thousand copper coins, and they're going to change the packaging." Charlotte played with the antidote in his hand, looking reluctant to let go.

The people in the queue looked at it with envy. Many of them had heard similar rumors. They heard that once the remaining gold-plated antidotes were sold out today, they would start selling silver-plated ones.

Otherwise, why would the people who originally spent a million copper coins on the potion be considered noble?

"Young man, how about selling this bottle of antidote to me? My foolish daughter somehow got addicted to the magic potion, and I only found out this morning. Seeing her condition breaks my heart as a father. I don't dare to let her drink the magic potion again."

The middle-aged man pleaded with Charlotte, begging, "Please, sell me this potion. I'll give you an extra five thousand copper coins. What do you think?"

"Well..." Charlotte furrowed his brows, showing a hint of hesitation.

"I'll give you ten thousand copper coins, young man. Sell me the potion. I also have a disobedient son." A tall orc behind them interjected.

"You offer ten thousand, and he offers five thousand. Then I'll sell it to you." Charlotte nodded at the orc.

"I... I'll offer fifteen thousand, young man. You must help me. My wife blames me for this, and if I can't bring this potion back today, she'll smash my head." The middle-aged man grabbed Charlotte's hand and pulled out twelve gold coins from his spatial ring.

"Alright, I'll give you twelve thousand."

"Fine, since you care so much for your daughter, I'll reluctantly sell you this bottle of magic potion against my will." Charlotte sighed, pocketing the gold coins and handing over the antidote to the middle-aged man.

He apologetically said to the orc behind, "I'm sorry, but the highest bidder gets it."

"Thank you, thank you!" The middle-aged man took the antidote, making sure the bottle cap hadn't been opened, and the anti-counterfeit label was still intact. Satisfied, he stowed away the potion.

"Sigh, it looks like I'll have to come early tomorrow too." Charlotte didn't linger and walked away quickly.

He entered a small alley, turned left and right, and emerged from the other end, now wearing the face of a square-jawed man. A faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth as he restrained his laughter.

He only sold the spatial ring for 250,000 copper coins. But pretending to be a scalper, he managed to sell the antidote for 120,000 copper coins.

This unexpected windfall can be considered a stroke of luck.

It must say, that orc brother knows how to bargain. He raised the price without hesitation and managed to squeeze an extra fifteen thousand copper coins out of him.

This is just one sales point set up by the Calva Trading Company. There are supposedly more than a dozen of these sales points in Calva. The bustling business shows that the merchants' initial predictions were spot on. The most affluent customers are the large middle class.

Now, he has a total of 370,000 copper coins in his hands.

Charlotte glanced at his wealth value.

It reached an astonishing 475,762 copper coins.

This means that when he returns, he can exchange them all for powerful potions and drink them in batches, breaking through to become an advanced knight and still have some spare.

And the cash in his hands has also reached 572,818 copper coins.

This money is more than enough to build a workshop, and if there is any surplus, he can also arrange for the canceled teleportation array to be reinstated.

The money came too quickly, making Charlotte's heart race with excitement.

After taking a few turns and making sure he wasn't being followed, he headed to the carriage parking area with a sense of relief.

The Calva Trading Company is very influential, and it's not easy to deal with them. He has to be careful not to invite retaliation.

But what he sold was genuine goods. Although he charged an extra twenty thousand copper coins, it was clear that the middle-aged man didn't lack that ten or twenty thousand. So, collecting the money was justified.

Charlotte didn't rush to find Vivian and the others. Instead, he drove to the magical materials market in the southern part of the city for a stroll.

Here, he managed to buy several materials that he couldn't find at Harry's place.

He also inquired about the prices, and the prices Harry usually sold him the materials for were reasonable. A few of them were slightly more expensive by a few copper coins, but still within his acceptable range.

The biggest gain was a beginner's manual on magic array formations, which he found from a destitute old magician for two silver coins.

It contained over a hundred basic array formations, making it a beginner's manual for array mages, but it's not commonly circulated.

In addition, he spent several hundred copper coins to buy some apparatus suitable for experiments, including a set of distillation equipment.

After putting everything in the carriage, Charlotte returned to Leo's small cabin with a full load.

There was no one in the cabin. Vivian and the others hadn't returned yet.
