Run A Medical Clinic In The Abyssal World

Chapter 61: The Girl in the White Dress Next Door

The assassin in the black night attire disappeared into the mist, leaving the Fox Guards surprised as they approached the clinic and saw the protective barrier gradually fading.

Since they didn't catch anyone and confirmed that the clinic's door hadn't been damaged, they left.

Charlotte closed the window. Although he had just learned the Sword Draw, Cyclone Slash, and the basic Three Thousand Shadows, he wasn't so arrogant as to rush out and beat up the two people who had kicked the door.

He was still just a weak knight apprentice in this world filled with all sorts of dangers.

Being cautious would ensure his survival for a longer time.

He turned his head and looked at the black cloak hanging in the wardrobe, holding the familiar Judgment Sword in his hand.

Charlotte couldn't resist the itch in his heart.

"With a blade in hand, the urge to kill arises. These words are indeed true." Charlotte placed the sword beside the bed and resisted the impulse to put on the cloak and go out.

The abyss shrouded by the night was incredibly dangerous.

Occasionally, screams could be heard from a distance.

Either it was the mutual killing on the lower levels, premeditated home invasions, or encounters with terrifying entities.

Charlotte lay back on the bed and curiously opened his attribute panel:

...

Charlotte sat up, his face filled with surprise.

His level had been updated, changing from being a useless person to a knight apprentice, and a progress bar had been provided.

It seemed that the threshold to become a junior knight was a strength of 2000 kg.

Twenty bottles of Power Boosting Potion were equivalent to 200,000 wealth points.

He now only needed to focus on earning money, leaving the rest to the Power Boosting Potions.

This feeling of having a clear goal was truly wonderful!

The progress of his martial techniques also appeared in the skill list.

He had thought that he was already quite skilled, but even for Sword Draw, which he was most proficient in, he hadn't surpassed the basic stage.

Now, he wouldn't be able to sleep.

Taking the Judgment Sword, he went downstairs to practice swordsmanship.

The first-floor lobby was the most spacious area in his house.

Moving all the extra tables, chairs, and stools to the side, Charlotte began practicing his swordsmanship.

As a beginner, he didn't have the annoyance of swinging his sword with sword energy. The 20 square meters of space were enough for him to perform the Sword Drawing Technique and the Whirlwind Slash.

Draw the sword, draw the sword, whirlwind slash...

Silently, Charlotte practiced swordsmanship until a faint ray of dawn seeped through the door crack.

Sheathing his sword, he wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Glancing at his attribute panel, Sword Drawing Technique: Intermediate: 860/1000; Whirlwind Slash: Intermediate: 810/1000.

A night of training had increased each skill by 10 points.

Compared to the life-and-death struggle with the Judge in the mysterious space, practicing swordsmanship alone progressed much slower.

The limited space didn't allow for the display of brilliant moves; he often bumped into the walls. He needed to find an opportunity to practice outside.

The visible progress brought a strong sense of achievement, making him feel as if he were playing an upgrading game.

Putting away the Judgment Sword, Charlotte, who had spent the whole night focusing on training, felt a bit exhausted despite his robust physique.

So, he opened the system's store and exchanged it for a bottle of Powerful Strength Potion.

He chugged it down in a few gulps.

As a warm stream spread throughout his body, he immediately felt warm and comfortable.

Sweeping away fatigue, he felt like himself again!

"Besides enhancing strength, this is indeed a top-notch stimulant." Charlotte clenched his fist, and along with the increase in strength, the exhaustion vanished, making him feel rejuvenated!

"Boss, why are you up so early?" Vivian came downstairs, patting her little head, looking somewhat surprised to see Charlotte.

"Well, I woke up early today to exercise." Charlotte nodded slightly, showing off his well-developed biceps.

"Oh, by the way, what happened last night? Why did I wake up in bed and can't remember anything? I just felt very comfortable." Vivian stared at Charlotte and said, "Could it be... you put something in the food?"

Charlotte: "??"

Come on, I'm not interested in Lolis, okay?

Otherwise, do you think you would wake up in such a good condition?

You could have woken up on the stairs, window sill, floor, stove, or even in the pot... Oh! That's going too far, scratch that!

"Yesterday, you fell asleep while eating, probably because you've been working too hard in making potions recently. So, I carried you back to your room to sleep." Charlotte said earnestly, "By the way, you went to bed without brushing your teeth last night."

"Really!" Vivian covered her mouth, took a step back blushing, and said in embarrassment, "So, the sour smell in the air was coming from me."

After speaking, she turned around and ran upstairs with her short legs.

"Sour smell?" Charlotte raised his hand, his eyebrows furrowed. Having sweated all night and then consumed a bottle of Powerful Strength Potion, he was the real source of the sour smell.

In order not to be caught by Vivian, Charlotte went upstairs and grabbed a set of clothes, preparing to wash his body in the backyard.

The clinic's backyard was very small, only five or six square meters. There was an ancient well, and daily water use was pumped up from the well. Washing clothes and mops were also done in the small courtyard.

Baka Street belonged to the Harriman family, and apart from a few houses that were rebuilt by renters, most of the houses were uniformly constructed for rent. Naturally, there was no large yard for planting flowers and keeping fish.

Taking advantage of the dim light, Charlotte pumped water from the well and poured two buckets directly onto his body.

The cold autumn well water was bone-chilling. If it were his previous physique, this bucket of cold water would have sent him away.

But now, as the cold water poured over his body, he felt a lightness and all-over comfort.

He washed his body with a towel, and he could feel his muscles becoming firmer. It might be related to drinking another bottle of Powerful Strength Potion in the morning or the overnight sword practice.

"Haha..."

Suddenly, soft laughter sounded.

Charlotte was startled and quickly looked up.

The window on the second floor of the neighboring building was open, and a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl in a white dress was leaning against the window, watching him while covering her mouth and giggling. The morning light fell on her face, revealing a fair and delicate complexion. Her eyes and brows were picturesque, and her black hair was casually draped in front of her, exuding an indescribable purity and charm.

Seeing Charlotte looking up, the girl blushed and quickly closed the window.
