Run A Medical Clinic In The Abyssal World

Chapter 251：In her eyes, there is a light (1)

After visiting the dormitory area on the second floor, Jacob and his family, along with Klee, decided to live in the factory. This was convenient for work, and the dormitory conditions were impeccable, much better than any cheap hotel.

Klee decided to terminate the lease on his unused blacksmith shop, saving him rent money every month.

"Now, it's your turn for assessment. Show me your fire-making skills and see if they meet my requirements," Charlotte said to Jacob as he came down from the second floor.

Currently, Charlotte had only recruited Nora and Klee, and Jacob had not yet undergone the interview and assessment, so he was not officially recruited.

"What kind of firepower do you need? How long should it burn steadily? I can arrange that for you," Jacob said confidently.

Charlotte replied, "I need medium heat that can sustain the pot for an hour. I want to test this alchemy furnace."

"No problem, I'll get started now," Jacob nodded and quickly walked towards the pile of coal, picked up a shovel, and began shoveling coal into the stove.

"Doctor, what job do you want me to do?" Klee asked Charlotte.

"You will mainly be responsible for material processing. This is the warehouse for storing materials. You need to preprocess and weigh these materials," Charlotte said, leading Klee to the front of the warehouse. He opened the door, revealing shelves filled with various types of materials. He turned around and said, "Kasha, teach Klee how to handle these materials."

"Okay, master," Kasha walked into the warehouse and began explaining the methods and techniques for handling various materials to Klee.

Jacob demonstrated the skills of a professional firemaker. With his large hands gripping the bellows lever, the sound of wind could be heard as he pulled and pushed. In no time, he ignited the coal.

Nora and Carl stood by, watching nervously. This assessment was not only about whether Jacob would be recruited but also whether their family could establish a foothold in the Abyss.

The fire was lit, and Charlotte boiled two alchemy furnaces. He spread some pig skin on one of the pots, with a method and process similar to frying in a large iron pan at home.

These two pots were replicas of his large black pot, proportionally resized for professional alchemy.

Guy and his team had put a lot of effort into forging these two pots, and there were no obvious flaws inside or outside.

With both pots boiling, Vivian cleaned the inside and outside of the pots using her cleaning spell. This large alchemy furnace was then ready to use.

"Boss, how do we make alchemy in such a large furnace?" Vivian looked up at the pots that were almost twice her height and asked in a low voice.

"The size is just superficial; once you master this alchemy furnace, there is no difference in making potions," Charlotte smiled, "Of course, I will first explore the standardized processtiming, heat, steps. As long as it is standardized, anyone can be an alchemist."

Under Kasha's guidance, Klee quickly caught on and wielded a small iron hammer skillfully, showing the demeanor of a master blacksmith. He quickly brought the materials he needed.

Starting with simpler low-level cleaning potions, Charlotte climbed onto a high platform next to the iron pot and began adding ingredients.

This three-meter-deep pot was indeed not as easy to use as he had imagined.

As soon as the heat rose, the pot filled with a white mist, but before he could see clearly, the smell of burnt food filled the air.

"Doctor, it's not my fault, right?" Jacob said innocently.

"It's not your fault. Just keep the heat at this level," Charlotte nodded and had Vivian wash the pot.

Replacing the furnace meant going through an adaptive process, taking into account both the firing temperature and the characteristics of the new alchemy furnace.

He failed three times in a row, and Jacob's face turned black from sitting near the fire. But on the fifth attempt, Charlotte finally succeeded.

The crane lifted the still-boiling alchemy furnace and moved it to the bottling area at the back. A faint medicinal scent spread throughout the workshop, eliciting cheers from everyone.

"We finally succeeded! This batch can replace ten batches of the cleaning potion I made before!" Vivian exclaimed excitedly.

Charlotte remained relatively calm. He took out his pen and notebook, detailed the steps and time of this successful concoction, and created the process standard for making cleaning potions.

He then began making hemostatic potions. As he became more familiar with the giant alchemy furnace, he successfully made the basic hemostatic potion after only wasting three pots.

"Alright, Jacob, extinguish the fire. You're hired," Charlotte came down from the platform and smiled, reaching out his hand to Jacob.

Jacob looked at Charlotte's outstretched hand in astonishment, hastily wiped his coal-covered hand on his clothes, and then carefully shook Charlotte's hand, still somewhat incredulous. "Doctor, are you saying that I can work here?"

"Yes, from now on, the fire-making work will be entrusted to you. You are indeed an experienced firemaker," Charlotte nodded. Jacob had not exaggerated his skills. He could maintain a steady and continuous flame, eliminating the risk of failed concoctions due to changes in heat. This made it easier to control the brewing time.

"That's great!" Nora hugged Jacob with joy.

"That's great, that's great!" Carl also bounced around Jacob.

"Nora, once these two batches of potions have cooled down, you need to bottle them all, label them, and pack them into boxes," Charlotte said to Nora. "As a junior water mage, cleverly using magic, this job should be easy for you."

"Okay, Doctor," Nora nodded without any objections to Charlotte's arrangements.

"Boss, I also want to try making potions in the big pot," Vivian said eagerly.

"This is the process standard for making potions in the big pot. Familiarize yourself with it first before trying it out. Wasting a pot would cost thousands of copper coins of materials," Charlotte warned sternly as he handed her the notebook.

"Oh," Vivian held the notebook and walked aside to study it diligently.

Jacob, Nora, and the couple were officially hired today by Charlotte. They signed an employment contract, mainly involving a confidentiality agreement.

Charlotte intended to promote the development of potions, but he did not plan to release the potion formula to the public yet, so preventive measures against leaks were necessary.

The three had no objections and willingly signed the contract.

In addition to the confidentiality agreement, Charlotte also set their wage standards.

The base salary was 1000 copper coins, with an additional 1 copper coin commission for each bottle of potion produced.

One should not underestimate the 1 copper coin commission. With each successful batch of potions, at least 100 bottles could be produced.

With such a large workshop and as proficiency and success rates increased, they could easily produce ten batches of potions a day.

Just the commission alone could easily surpass ten thousand coins in monthly wages.

Such wages were hard to find in the Abyss.

Nora was an apprentice water mage, a talent inherited as a half-elf.

After the two batches of potions had cooled, she recited an incantation and guided the potions into glass bottles. The process was efficient and cleaner than pouring, thanks to her clever use of magic.

Once bottled, she labeled the potions and placed them in special boxes for temporary storage in the warehouse.

During this process, little Carl sat quietly and obediently, watching his mother work without causing any disturbance.

"Has this child attended school?" Charlotte asked Nora.

"We were planning to send him to school next year. He's about the right age to go to school, but then that incident happened, and now we can only put it on hold..." Nora looked at Carl and sighed softly.

"It's all my fault," Jacob also sighed, his eyes filled with self-blame.

"I'll ask for you. If it's suitable, let this child attend the Abyss Academy next year," Charlotte said.

Both Jacob and Nora looked at Charlotte with disbelief.

"You... are you saying you will let Carl go to school in the Abyss?" Nora said in a quiet voice.

"Is there a school in the Abyss?" Jacob expressed his doubts but regretted it as soon as he spoke.

Charlotte nodded with a smile, "That's right, Abyss Academy was just established. The children are still young, and they shouldn't waste their time in the workshop."

"Thank you so much," Nora quickly expressed her gratitude.

"Thank you," Jacob added.
