Run A Medical Clinic In The Abyssal World

Chapter 270：Do we talk about emotions instead of money?

When Charlotte drove the carriage out of the Harriman Manor, the emblem of the Harriman family, a prominent fox tail, was imprinted on the front and back of the carriage.

This was not for free. The gratitude fee had been reduced from 100,000 to 50,000 copper coins.

However, 50,000 copper coins in exchange for the permanent protection of the Harriman family would make traveling in the Abyss much more convenient. It was worth it.

Three days later was the night of the Red Moon. Diana's concern was evident, which gave Charlotte a sense of urgency.

During the last Red Moon, the invasion of monsters in the Abyss caused severe damage.

Although the three major families had set up new magic barriers at the entrance to the Abyss, it wasn't foolproof.

Even Calva's barrier had almost been breached several times. The barrier at the Abyss was somewhat trivial.

However, the Abyss was located in a remote area and had natural advantages, making it less likely to be targeted by waves of monsters. It protected against those monsters that besieged Calva and accidentally went the wrong way.

This time, the Red Moon was very important to him.

In addition to collecting monster blood for Kasha's alchemy, he needed to perform some dissection experiments to try to find the mechanism behind the Red Moon's influence on monster behavior.

Originally, he was worried about how to capture suitable monsters for dissection, but Marsha's arrival had solved many problems.

Although Marsha looked harmless, she had much more wilderness survival experience than most adventurers.

After leaving the Harriman Manor, Charlotte headed straight to Harry's grocery store.

After imprinting the Harriman family emblem, Charlotte drove the carriage on the road, attracting fewer covetous glances. When people saw the emblem, they showed more awe and avoidance, afraid of colliding with the carriage and feeling a sense of safety.

After the destruction of the Jadson family, the Harriman family, the Duru family, and the Daniel family formed a strong triangular pattern in the Abyss.

With the formation of the Abyss Council, the Abyss Guardians in their standardized uniforms began patrolling the streets more frequently, and the order in the Abyss was being established. People were becoming more in awe of the three major families.

These 50,000 copper coins were well spent!

As soon as the carriage stopped in front of the grocery store, a shop assistant with a flattering smile came forward and took the reins from Charlotte's hands, leading the carriage aside.

Harry, who heard the commotion, came out and immediately saw the Harriman family fox tail emblem on the carriage. He exclaimed in surprise, "Oh, Dr. Charlotte, it's only been a few days and you're already part of the Harriman family?"

"You know how Diana treats me," Charlotte smiled slightly, not admitting nor denying it.

"You're lucky," Harry gave him a thumbs up and walked towards the store, saying, "Last time, I just received a lot of goods. Are you here to replenish or introduce new potions again?"

"How did the last batch of Sunset Red sell?" Charlotte sat on a high stool outside the counter and scanned the alchemy counter. The Sunset Red was placed in a prominent position.

"Hehe, I was just thinking of coming to place an order with you again tomorrow. Your medicine is amazing! Everyone who used it praised it, and the repurchase rate is extremely high," Harry said with excitement. "Give me another one hundred bottles."

"Sure, I'll have the goods delivered to you tomorrow," Charlotte nodded. One hundred bottles of Sunset Red meant 60,000 copper coins.

As for the retail price of 1,000 copper coins per bottle on Harry's counter, it was his skill to sell at that price.

"I'm not here to make a purchase today. I wanted to ask if you have a material called 'Seven-Star Fruit'," Charlotte asked.

"Seven-Star Fruit?" Harry put down the vial he was wiping and looked at Charlotte with surprise. "That's a rare and precious material. What do you want it for? Are you planning to develop a new potion? The cost is too high."

Charlotte casually said, "I read about this material in a book. It is said to have special medicinal effects. Since I happened to be passing by, I wanted to ask if you have it."

"I don't have it," Harry shook his head. "This kind of precious material can only be bought in Calva, and the price won't be lower than 300,000 copper coins."

"So expensive?" Charlotte was surprised.

Harry nodded, "You might not even be able to buy it at that price. This fruit is extremely rare and belongs to the kind that has no market value. It is said to provide great benefits to advanced magicians when consumed. For those in urgent need of the Seven-Star Fruit, the price can be even higher."

"I see. It's indeed not suitable for making potions," Charlotte nodded, having a better idea.

The Seven-Star Fruit in his spatial ring was worth at least 300,000 copper coins or more, making his bloodshed with the Wutu Mercenary Corps worthwhile.

However, he didn't plan to sell the Seven-Star Fruit here at Harry's store. He would sell it in Calva at the very least.

Of course, the best outcome would be to receive a quest from the Adventurer's Guild and cash it in, usually at a higher price than the market.

With a better understanding from Harry, Charlotte didn't linger and ordered a batch of knives before driving back to the alchemy workshop.

As soon as Charlotte entered, he saw Marsha diligently carrying several boxes of potions toward the warehouse, looking like a strong woman. She seemed to be very suited for this job.

Vivian stood on the platform, meticulously pouring various ingredients into a large black cauldron, and the scent of potions wafted out.

Below, Jacob stood by the furnace, completely focused on the internals, occasionally adding a couple of coals to maintain a constant temperature, displaying his professional fire skills.

Nora stuck labels on bottles, tapped them with glue, and the potions were finished immediately. She put them in boxes and immediately proceeded with the next bottle.

Charlotte walked through the refining workshop and entered the material preparation workshop. Klee was using a small hammer to work on a pile of materials. His stable hands ensured high precision in the material processing.

"Doctor, you're here," Klee noticed Charlotte's arrival and put down the hammer.

"It's okay, you can continue," Charlotte brought a small stool and sat next to Klee, smiling. "I just came back from Harriman Manor. From today onwards, this carriage belongs to the protection of the Harriman family. This is your identification badge. If you encounter any trouble while traveling in the Abyss, just show the badge, and no one will bother you."

"This..." Klee took the metal badge engraved with the Fox Guard emblem, his face filled with astonishment.

As an Abyss resident, he was well aware of what the Harriman family represented in the Abyss. With this badge, it was like giving him a talisman, relieving him of many troubles.

Although he didn't say it out loud, he felt surprised that Charlotte could obtain such a thing.

"Alright, you can continue with your work," Charlotte stood up and walked towards the refining workshop.

Harry had ordered one hundred bottles of Sunset Red, and he didn't want to refine them batch by batch. After Viviann finished today's batch, he planned to study the large cauldron refining method for Sunset Red. Once the detailed formula was figured out, he could hand it over to Viviann for future refinement.

After three batches, the Sunset Red was successfully refined.

Seeing the red potions being poured into each bottle, a sense of accomplishment surged within him.

The power of industry was efficient in this way.

One hundred potions, finished in one cauldron.

"Boss, do I need to make a cauldron of Sunset Red every day now?" Viviann approached, looking at Charlotte who was carefully writing down the formula.

"No, not for now. Wait until we receive orders before refining." Charlotte shook his head.

The current sales volume of Sunset Red at the clinic wasn't large, it was Harry who ordered most of them.

"Alright, it's getting late. Let's go back to the clinic." Charlotte descended from the high platform and instructed Nora that no labels were needed for this batch, just pack them directly into boxes and have Klee deliver them to Harry's place tomorrow morning.

After all, Harry's grocery store was in the Abyss, and Charlotte couldn't just give him a wholesale discount and suppress his sales. So, he allowed Harry to sell the potions with his label.

Doing business requires flexibility.

Klee drove the carriage to take the three of them back. When he saw the emblem on the carriage, he was stunned for a moment, then he walked around the carriage and confirmed the emblem imprinted on the front and back. He couldn't hide his surprise as he said, "Doctor, does this carriage belong to the Harriman family?"

"No, the carriage belongs to the alchemy workshop, but from now on, if you encounter any trouble while traveling outside, you can also claim to be a member of the Harriman family by showing the emblem," Charlotte smiled and said, "Of course, you can't do anything bad, otherwise, I won't recognize you."

"I understand," Klee nodded, still showing surprise on his face.

He originally thought that Charlotte only gave him a badge, but he didn't expect the emblem to be imprinted on the carriage as well. This would indeed save him a lot of trouble.

This also made him have a higher appreciation of Charlotte's strength, indicating that the doctor had some say in the Harriman family.

The three of them got on the carriage. The front seats of the carriage were still there, but the rear seats had been removed and connected to the storage compartment, becoming a cargo box that could hold a lot of goods.

Charlotte had to bring a small stool and sit facing Vivian and Marsha.

"On your first day of work, are you getting used to it?" Charlotte asked Marsha.

"It's okay," Marsha nodded, looking at him, and asked, "But I heard that with my strength if I go to the cargo yard to carry sacks for people, I can earn three to five hundred copper coins a day."

"You're talking nonsense. Carrying sacks in the cargo yard, have you become a laborer without dreams and aspirations? I had you come to work here to develop you. Your mind shouldn't be focused solely on money, that would be vulgar," Charlotte said seriously.

"Not talking about money, talking about emotions?" Marsha retorted.

"Yes, think about it. I'm the doctor who performed your C-section. Although Blackie can't call you 'mom', I can still be considered your lifesaver, right? Do you think this kind of emotion can be bought with money?" Charlotte asked.

Marsha thought for a moment and said, "You said it's worth 1,200 copper coins."

Charlotte: "..."
