Run A Medical Clinic In The Abyssal World

Charlotte leaned against the carriage and took a nap.

About half an hour later, an old carriage slowly approached.

Charlotte opened his eyes and saw a dejected Leo, followed by Vivian and Kasha jumping off the carriage with bags and parcels. It seemed that not accompanying them for shopping was a very wise choice, as he would have ended up as a mere tool for carrying bags.

"Boss, can we wait until it gets dark to see the lighthouse light up before we go back?" Vivian ran to the front of the carriage and looked at Charlotte with eager eyes.

"Linda said it's super beautiful!"

Kasha also looked at him expectantly.

Although she didn't speak, her eyes spoke volumes.

"No, we have to return to the clinic before it gets dark." Charlotte firmly refused.

"Okay, then we'll see it another time." Vivian sounded a bit disappointed but obediently nodded.

Kasha had no complaints either. She bid farewell to Linda and then boarded the carriage with her belongings.

"Don't you want to stay and have a drink or something? I have a place where you can stay for the night." Leo smiled and said.

"No need. I don't want to sleep in the attic with you." Charlotte shook his head and smiled.

"I hope your potion shop thrives, and you come to me for more orders soon."

"No problem. I have some confidence in selling potions." Leo replied confidently.

"Goodbye." Charlotte bid farewell to the two of them and drove away.

The carriage soon left Calva City. The sun was already setting, and most adventurers returning from the wilderness had come back empty-handed, some even covered in wounds.

The curtain of the carriage lifted, and Kasha stuck her head out, wrapping a gray checkered scarf around Charlotte's neck.

"What's this?" Charlotte was somewhat surprised.

Blushing, Kasha said, "I picked out this scarf for you, Master. The boss said it'll keep you warm in winter and shield you from the cold wind outside. You won't feel cold with it on."

The scarf was soft, and when wrapped around twice, his neck indeed felt warm. The chilly winter wind couldn't blow into his collar anymore.

With Charlotte's current constitution, he wouldn't fall ill from a little cold wind, but this care and warmth didn't just extend to his neck, but to his heart as well.

"Thank you, I like it." Charlotte smiled.

"Master, I also brought something for you!" Vivian stuck her head out as well and pulled out a large chicken leg wrapped in oiled paper from her pocket.

"Look, a delicious roasted chicken leg! I specifically saved the biggest and fattest one for you, and I've been holding it to keep it warm."

Charlotte looked at the chicken leg that still had Vivian's body heat on it and couldn't help but laugh. He glanced at the bite mark in the corner, asking, "How did it get a bite mark?"

"Ah... well... when I took it out just now, I took a small bite to test the temperature for you. I promise it was just a small bite, I didn't sneak a bite." Vivian blushed and eagerly brought the chicken leg to Charlotte's mouth.

"Try it, if you think it's delicious, you can make it for me next time, I'm sure you'll be able to make it after just one try, right?"

Good heavens, he's lying in ambush here. Charlotte was reluctant, but he had to take the chicken leg and take a bite.

The temperature is maintained well, but I don't know where she hid it.

The chicken is quite average in terms of roasting, overcooked, and a bit dry, with excessively crispy skin that lacks oiliness.

The seasoning is also quite bland. The first bite is okay, but it gets greasy after a few more bites.

"In a couple of days, I'll roast something even more delicious for you. This skill is not authentic enough." Charlotte finished gnawing on the chicken leg by the principle of not wasting food and made a somewhat disdainful comment.

"Boss, I believe in your cooking skills." Vivian thumbs up.

"I'll be waiting for you."

Charlotte first dropped off Vivian and Kasha at Baka Street, then returned the carriage to the rental shop.

By the time he returned to the clinic, the sky had completely darkened.

"Doctor, wait!"

Just as Charlotte was about to enter the door, a voice called out to him.

"You're back." Charlotte turned around and saw Jonah and Celia, the siblings, coming towards him, carrying a big cloth bag.

"This is what you wanted. We only found the Golden Vine today, but we dug up the roots and leaves for you. Do you think it's enough? We found it on the way back and just dug it up for you. Don't mention any commission fee." Jonah handed the bag to Charlotte.

Charlotte took the bag, which weighed about fifty to sixty pounds. It was more than enough for his alchemy experiments. Setting the bag down, he looked at Jonah and asked, "Did you hurt your waist?"

Earlier, the way Jonah walked seemed a bit awkward, and his expression was a bit unnatural when handing over the bag.

"No... not a big deal." Jonah smiled.

"Brother, was it the crazy cow that bumped into you and injured your waist? No wonder I saw you occasionally clutching your waist on the way back." Celia looked at Jonah with concern.

"Why don't you let the doctor take a look? Don't leave any troubles behind."

"It's fine. It's already getting dark. Let's not delay the doctor's rest." Jonah said casually, pulling Celia and preparing to leave.

"Come in, I'll take a look. If you want to go into the wilderness tomorrow, don't refuse." Charlotte pushed open the door and carried the bag inside.

"Come on, the doctor said he's willing to examine you." Celia pulled Jonah, who was still hesitant, and quickly walked into the clinic.

"Lie down, let me take a look." Charlotte washed his hands and gently pressed and kneaded the painful area on Jonah's waist. The improvement in his abilities gave him a more sensitive perception.

"The bone isn't broken, but it's a little misaligned after the impact."

After saying that, Charlotte gently pushed and pulled on Jonah's waist.

Snap.

A slight sound.

"All better now," Charlotte said.

"That... it's all better?" Celia asked incredulously.

Jonah had already gotten up from the stone bed, moved his waist a bit, and exclaimed in surprise, "It doesn't hurt anymore, and I don't feel anything pressing against it."

"Doctor, you're amazing." Celia looked at Charlotte with admiration. Without magic, surgery, or potions, Charlotte simply pushed and kneaded, and cured her brother's waist pain.

As an adventurer who has experienced rough and tough men in the wild, Charlotte, who is handsome and skilled in medicine, caught her attention.

"Doctor, how much do I need to pay for the medical fees?" Jonah looked at his sister and didn't say much, starting to take out his money pouch.

"It's just a small favor. Let's consider it as the fee for this bag of golden vine." Charlotte smiled.

"Um..." Jonah thought for a moment and nodded.

"Thank you. It's getting late, so we'll take our leave now."

"Goodbye, Doctor." Celia sweetly smiled at Charlotte.

Even though it was already winter, she still wore a fur bandeau and a short skirt, looking vibrant and resistant to the cold.

After leaving the clinic, the siblings walked side by side on the empty streets.

"Celia, do you have a crush on Doctor Charlotte?" Jonah turned his head and asked Celia, who was shorter than him.

"No..." Celia blushed.

"Tsk, the way you look at him is completely different from how you look at other men." Jonah pursed his lips, revealing a knowing expression.

"You're helplessly in love with him. But that's normal, not many women can resist a talented and gentle man like him, right?"

"Hmph, it's not love. At most, it's just appreciation. I just think Doctor Charlotte looks good." Celia shook her head.

"Appreciation is the beginning of falling. I also started with an appreciation for Marxy, and then I fell hopelessly into her gentle embrace." Jonah took on the air of an experienced person and advised, "At times like this, you have to take the initiative, or you'll regret it later."

"Why don't you take the initiative with Marxy?" Celia countered.

"Well... that... I'm being reserved. When the time is right, I will naturally confess to her." Jonah's expression became somewhat unnatural.

"Hehe, by then, she might already be holding two kids in her arms."

...

Charlotte entered the alchemy room carrying a cloth bag. Inside was a large knobby tuber that looked like an iron bar yam, long and slender with a surface covered in only a layer of dirt. There were over ten of them neatly arranged.

Meanwhile, Celia used another cloth bag to pack up palm-sized golden leaves, which looked like they were made of gold. They were quite beautiful and didn't have any dirt on them, also very clean.

This brother and sister were quite meticulous and reliable in their work.

This was the legendary golden vine. According to the book, it had extremely powerful stamina-restoring effects.

Of course, there were considerable side effects, which made it unpopular.

After quickly making noodles, and allowing Vivian and Kasha to have their dinner, he went downstairs to start experimenting with the golden vine to create stamina potions.

"Boss, what's this?" Vivian asked curiously while helping Charlotte clean the tubers of the golden vine.

"These are the tubers of the golden vine. After consuming them, they can greatly restore stamina." Charlotte took a cleaned tuber from Vivian, took out a small knife, and began peeling it.

Once the brown skin was removed, revealing the white flesh inside that had a slightly crispy texture, it resembled yam.

"It has such an effect? Let me try it." Vivian said, about to put the cleaned tuber into her mouth.

"If you try it, you might not be able to taste anything for the entire month." Charlotte calmly said.

"That's so terrible?!" Vivian immediately stopped her hand. "Then... are you planning to use it to make poison?"

"I came across its properties in a book, so I plan to try using it to create stamina potions. I don't know yet if I can remove the toxicity while retaining the stamina-restoring effects." Charlotte weighed the diced white tuber, put it in a mortar, and started crushing it.

Then he weighed the same amount of golden leaves and crushed them into a bottle of golden liquid.

"You take your time, I'll go prepare the potions." Vivian held her nose and moved away, afraid of losing her sense of taste after inhaling it. For her, it would be as painful as losing her virginity.

Charlotte had two options for his plan.

One was the simple method: refining the tubers and leaves of the golden vine together to obtain pure golden vine potion.

The other was to add a small amount of tubers of the golden vine into the original recipe for stamina potions, along with a small amount of golden leaves to neutralize the toxicity, to see if they could reach the pass threshold of 10%.

Regardless of which method, Charlotte felt that one or two Jerrys would have to sacrifice their sense of taste, and maybe even their lives.

Fortunately, Anna had caught two little white mice for him again today.

He named them Jerry No. 6 and Jerry No. 7.

Jerry No. 7 didn't have a bed yet. Of course, it might have one after tonight.
