Chapter 148：That's A Huge Injustice!

Chapter 148:That's A Huge Injustice!

Vivian couldn't stop praising the knife-cut noodles made by Charlotte.

The noodles were firm and smooth, paired with a crispy and fragrant fried egg, bringing a wonderful start to a beautiful day.

Charlotte opened the door to the clinic and, to his surprise, there wasn't a single patient outside, unlike the long queue from the previous day.

"No patients at all, how nice," Vivian peeked out and said with a smile.

Charlotte:...

The statement sounds fine, but also kind of strange.

No patients mean no one is suffering from illnesses and needs to come to the clinic.

Charlotte didn't want to see the scene from yesterday again.

But with the clinic open for business, if there are no patients, it would be difficult to sustain with a daily rent of 300 copper coins, Vivian's salary, and other daily expenses.

The security in the Abyss was pretty good last night, none of the people he dealt with needed medical treatment.

However, starting today, there will surely be many adventurers entering the wilderness for hunting. Tomorrow, business in the Abyss will return to normal.

The days before and after the Red Moon night each month are the clinic's rest days.

After returning to the counter and sitting down, Charlotte casually picked up a book of adventurers' tales to pass the time, but then there was a knock on the door.

Vivian jumped up from her chair like a cat and hurried to open the door.

Charlotte put down the book and looked surprised at the two people entering.

It was Jonah and Celia, the half-orc siblings who had encountered an ambush a few days ago. Jonah was shot by several arrows and gravely injured, and it was here that he was saved and given a second chance at life.

Speaking of which, they still owed him 4930 copper coins.

"Doctor, we're here to repay the debt," Jonah walked up with a cheerful smile and took out a money pouch from his pocket, handing it over with both hands.

Celia followed closely behind him, looking at Charlotte with a grateful gaze.

"You're quite punctual," Charlotte took the money pouch, counted it briefly, and found fifty silver coins. He accepted the payment and then opened the cash box to prepare the change.

"No need to give us the change, you haven't charged us any interest yet," Jonah quickly said, glancing at Celia by his side. He reached out and grabbed a handful of his messy hair, feeling a bit embarrassed.

"I don't know about my sister's necklace..."

"Of course, it should be returned to her."

Charlotte heard his words and decided not to count those several tens of copper coins. He turned around, opened a drawer in the cabinet, and took out the rough beast tooth necklace, handing it to Celia.

"Thank you."

Celia took the beast tooth necklace from Charlotte's hand, unable to hide her excitement in her eyes.

Their sibling relationship was very strong. A rough necklace that the system identified as worth 250 copper coins was treasured by her like a precious gem.

"A necklace that ugly, and you treat it like a treasure," Jonah complained, but his eyes were filled with affection as he looked at Celia.

"Hmph, this is the first necklace that you hunted a big tiger for me.

It's a lucky charm," Celia said as she put on the beast tooth necklace.

"Doctor, we also want to buy some potions from you, specifically some hemostatic potions. Can we purchase them separately?" Jonah asked Charlotte.

"Of course, you can."

Charlotte took a bottle of hemostatic potion and a bottle of cleansing potion from the cabinet and explained, "This is the cleansing potion and the hemostatic potion. If you get a minor injury in the wild, you can use the cleansing potion to clean the wound thoroughly and then use the hemostatic potion to stop the bleeding."

Jonah touched his pocket cautiously and asked, "How much?"

"200 copper coins," Charlotte replied directly.

"That's so cheap!" Jonah raised an eyebrow and immediately said, "Then please give me ten bottles of each!"

Just five days ago, Charlotte had saved his life and only charged him less than 5000 copper coins.

The siblings walked away with big strides.

"They're so cool." Vivian stood by the window, watching their backs, unable to help but sigh.

Charlotte smiled faintly. He quite liked the personalities of the siblings; it was nice to make friends with them.

Then, several adventurers who were preparing to go into the wilderness came to buy emergency kits.

"These emergency kits can truly save lives, don't underestimate them."

"If you weren't here yesterday, you wouldn't know. Over a hundred people were lining up here, and with just these two small bottles of potions, they treated more than half of the lightly injured patients."

"This news has already spread in the adventurers' circle. Though the effect on severe injuries is limited, if you encounter minor injuries, it can save your life."

A conversation between a group of adventurers brought a smile to Charlotte's face.

Although the price for a set of two bottles of 200 copper coins is not high, the profit is quite substantial.

If the adventurers of the Abyss all love to use it, it will be a stable source of income in the long run.

In the wilderness, minor injuries are unavoidable, and with 200 copper coins, adventurers can treat wounds with extremely high cost-effectiveness.

If minor wounds are not treated promptly, they may become infected and ulcerated, causing suffering and possibly even death.

The sale of potions is also something Charlotte looks forward to.

During the morning business hours, aside from adventurers coming to purchase potions one after another, Charlotte only received four patients, one of whom came because of abdominal pain and was diagnosed by Charlotte with acute appendicitis and had to undergo surgical removal.

"Let's close up, today's business is over, it's time to cook," Charlotte closed the book in her hand and said to Vivian.

The girl got up and walked towards the door, preparing to flip the sign on the doorknob.

Knock, knock!

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

Charlotte stopped in her tracks.

Vivian opened the door and saw the person outside, looking surprised, "Dean Roland."

"I'm here to see Doctor Charlotte," Roland's gentle voice came from outside the door.

"Why is he looking for me? Did he find out that I sent the little girl to him?" Charlotte's eyelid twitched a few times.

After all, he wasn't very familiar with Roland, at least not the kind of relationship where they would visit each other's homes.

Before he could slip away, Vivian turned to look at him, "Boss, Dean Roland is looking for you."

"Ah... please let him in," Charlotte could only stop in his tracks.

Roland, dressed in a black overcoat, walked in. He was a suave young man, always neat and clean, but he didn't give off an intimidating vibe.

Instead, he had a gentle and pleasing demeanor.

Charlotte had to admit that Roland had a perfect grasp of temperament.

"Senior, what brings you here today?" Charlotte greeted with a smile, trying to probe, "Did you...?"

"Feeling troubled in my heart, wanted to find someone to have a drink with. After considering it, I thought chatting with you would be the most fitting, so I came to find you."

Roland was already waving a bottle of red wine in his hand, and just by looking at the yellowed cork, it was clear that it was a good vintage.

Thank goodness he didn't come because of those little girls!

Charlotte breathed a sigh of relief and his smile grew even brighter, "Drinking? No problem at all. Let's go upstairs, I'll cook a couple of appetizers."

"You can cook as well?" Roland was somewhat surprised. Originally, he planned to ask Charlotte to go out for a drink together.

"Our boss is amazing at cooking. Even the landlady couldn't stop praising it," Vivian confirmed.

"The landlady?"

Roland paused for a moment, then realized it must be Diana, and smiled, "Well then, I have to try it."
