Run A Medical Clinic In The Abyssal World - Chapter 198：What does a secretary do?

“Oh…,” Charlotte said, puzzled.

This was such a typical rich woman’s scheme to have a child for money, leaving Charlotte dumbfounded.

Even in this otherworldly realm, people played such games?

This made him momentarily unsure if Montee was trying to scheme him or if he had been schemed by someone else.

Seeing Charlotte’s stunned expression, Montee thought he was awestruck by the high commission and chuckled, saying, “Don’t worry, as long as we cooperate, we will make a steady profit.

If it weren’t for her and I being distant relatives, you wouldn’t have the chance for this good fortune.

I’d have made the money myself, and who knows, maybe I’d even get a grand castle.”

Charlotte snapped out of his daze and looked at Montee with mixed emotions.

Shaking his head firmly, he said, “Sorry, I can’t take on this project.”

“You can’t?!”

Montee raised his voice several degrees, giving Charlotte another once-over before leaning in closer and whispering, “With those thick eyebrows and expressive eyes, are you… infertile?”

What the hell!

Charlotte was left speechless by his remark but maintained a calm demeanor and said, “One should be self-aware.

Why would an incredibly wealthy heiress go to such a remote and impoverished place to have a child?

Moreover, if vampires want to maintain their bloodline, shouldn’t they seek out purebred vampires to bear offspring rather than turn to humans?

Do you think that makes any sense?”

“You just don’t understand. This is insider information that only well-informed individuals like me know,” Montee shook his head, adopting a mysterious tone.

“Furthermore, you don’t understand vampires. When human males and vampires have a child, it will undoubtedly be a vampire.

And when vampires and human females have a child, it will still be a vampire.

So, there’s no real difference between seeking out humans or vampires.

In fact, throughout vampire history, many powerful vampires were hybrids of humans and vampires.”

“Well…” Charlotte was stunned, realizing that he had stumbled upon a gap in his knowledge.

“Moreover, compared to vampires, humans are easier to control when it comes to information.

Just pay some money and show a bit of power, and humans will keep their mouths shut,” Montee continued.

It sounded reasonable, but Charlotte still didn’t believe it.

So he said, “I am a person of principles. I won’t just have a child with any woman, even if she’s a wealthy heiress.”

“Forget about it. You don’t have to worry about this matter. I will take care of everything, including the deposit.

When the time comes, you just need to contribute with your abilities,” Montee waved his hand dismissively and glanced at Charlotte with some disdain.

“You’ll drop your narrow-minded thinking once you meet my cousin.”

With that, Montee turned and walked away.

Charlotte watched Montee disappear through the door and felt a bit disoriented.

What did he mean by contributing to his abilities?

Judging by his appearance, he didn’t seem like someone trying to scam money from him.

But as soon as he mentioned a deposit, Charlotte was already certain that this was a scam, except it was Montee who would be deceived by his so-called cousin.

Unfortunately, before he could offer his advice, the other person had already fled.

Charlotte stood at the door, where darkness shrouded everything outside, with no sign of Montee. He had no choice but to close the door.

Upon careful consideration, Montee wasn’t exactly a pitiful person.

After all, he possessed enough strength to shake a Grade Four protective barrier.

His power was at least a Grade Five or higher, and earning money shouldn’t be a problem for him.

It wouldn’t be his concern.

Playing with two gold coins in his hand, Charlotte smiled happily.

Even vampires would have tooth decay, which shows that the oral health of creatures in the different worlds is not optimistic.

Toothache is quite a painful thing, and it happens to be a blind spot in the field of treatment.

If the clinic launches dental services, it might become an additional source of income.

Moreover, this business could perhaps be expanded to Calva.

Calva has a lot of wealthy people.

If those wealthy people who are tormented by toothaches are willing to invest some money in their teeth as vampires do, the price could be much higher than regular small surgery.

Let’s get right to it.

Charlotte took out a wooden board from the cabinet and started listing the range of patients the clinic could treat.

Filling teeth, pulling teeth, dental implants; acute appendicitis, wound stitching, bone mending, and various traumas…

The wooden board was filled with writing.

Setting the board aside, Charlotte couldn’t help but feel a little emotional.

In just half a month, he went from being a veterinarian to a somewhat famous doctor in the Abyss.

Of course, all of this was built on the foundation of his solid veterinary skills.

After thinking for a moment, he took another piece of wood and listed the medicines currently sold by the clinic and their corresponding prices.

Medicines have now become a significant part of the clinic’s revenue, with extremely high profit margins.

Moreover, they don’t take up his treatment time, so they should be developed vigorously.

For most minor injury patients, a medication costing three to four hundred copper coins is enough for self-treatment, with an equally high cost-effectiveness ratio.

“Boss, I think we should promote the stamina potions. They can be life-saving potions in crucial moments, especially in the wilderness.

If you drink one while being chased by a leopard, you might just outrun it,” Vivian came downstairs and saw the board that Charlotte wrote, suggesting.

Charlotte nodded. He nearly died outside last night, but he managed to come back by relying on two bottles of stamina potions.

However, the effects of the primary stamina potions were lacking.

They only had a slightly better effect than drinking a can of Red Bull for second-level adventurers.

In addition to meeting the daily demand, he should also spend some time improving his proficiency in stamina potion-making, to see if the effectiveness of the potion can be increased after reaching an intermediate level of proficiency.

If they can provide good stamina supplementation for third and fourth-level adventurers, these stamina potions can be sold at a good price and become popular.

“Tonight, we’ll stick to the usual routine. You’ll make primary hemostatic potions and cleansing potions, while I’ll make intermediate hemostatic potions and cleansing potions.

But tonight, I’ll work overtime and make an extra batch of stamina potions,” Charlotte said to Vivian.

“Boss, do you still have that potion I drank last time that made me feel hot all over and doubled my energy?

If you give me a bottle of that, I’ll work overtime with you tonight,” Vivian looked at Charlotte with anticipation and asked.

“I don’t have any left recently, maybe I’ll manage to make it again another day,” Charlotte shook his head.

He knew Vivian was referring to the stamina potion, but this young girl seemed to be unaware that after drinking that potion, she gained 100 kg of strength.

She firmly believed that her strength came from eating three bowls of rice every day.

Today’s turnover was 24,350 copper coins, and he also obtained 20,000 from Montee in the evening.

His wealth value has accumulated to 50,420, enough to exchange for five bottles of stamina potions.

But his current goal was to strive for an advanced knight.

Until he made the breakthrough, each bottle of stamina potion seemed particularly precious.

Vivian was a highly talented mage. She should focus more on magic training. It might not be a good thing to gain too much strength without any reason.

However, the 100 kg increase in strength from the last time also improved her weak physique.

At least it allowed her to withstand the high-intensity surgery for a continuous morning.

“If you can mass-produce that potion, you’ll sell it at a good price,” Vivian said with regret.

Charlotte rolled his eyes.

It goes without saying. If he could mass-produce stamina potions, it wouldn’t just sell at a good price, but he would become wealthy in an instant!

Charlotte hung the two boards with dried ink at the entrance of the clinic and then went into the alchemy room with Vivian, each with a pot, and started working overtime.

“Boss, Leo’s medicinal potions don’t seem to be of the highest quality, right? There are so many impurities. Here, those would be considered failed products,” Vivian commented during the alchemy process.

“They are not rigorous enough in making potions.

Whether it’s dosage, steps, time, or heat, there are no fixed values.

It is all dependent on experience and intuition.

Consequently, the success rate is low, and the quality of the final product is inconsistent,” Charlotte calmly said as he poured the measured materials into the black pot.

“Alchemy is a very rigorous and specialized discipline. Standardizing all the steps is the only way to promote it.”

“Don’t they know how to measure and time things?” Vivian asked perplexedly, “Isn’t that an easy thing to do?”

Of course, they might not be able to do it but unwilling to, Charlotte covered the black pot and adjusted the heat.

He leisurely said, “There is a saying about starving the master to death by teaching the apprentice. It exists in various industries.

But precisely because of this narrow-minded thinking, alchemy has become what it is today, and even the prescription has become a family heirloom.”

“So, do you plan to open up the prescription?” Vivian looked at Charlotte eagerly, feeling that his image suddenly became towering.

Charlotte rolled his eyes again.

[Do I even need to say it?

If I could mass produce stamina potions, it wouldn’t just sell at a good price, but I’d become rich instantly!]

Charlotte hung the two boards with dried ink at the entrance of the clinic and then went into the alchemy room with Vivian, each with a pot, and started working overtime.

“Boss, Leo’s medicinal potions don’t seem to be high quality, do they? There are so many impurities. Here, those would be considered failed products,” Vivian commented during the process of making potions.

“They’re not rigorous enough in making potions.

Whether it’s measuring the amount, following the steps, timing, or controlling the heat, there are no fixed standards.

It all relies on experience and intuition.

As a result, the success rate is low, and the quality of the final product varies,” Charlotte calmly said as he poured the measured powder materials into the black cauldron.

“Alchemy is a meticulous and specialized discipline. Standardizing all the steps is the only way to promote its development.”

“Don’t they know how to measure and time things?” Vivian asked in confusion, “Isn’t that an easy thing to do?”

Of course, they might not be able to do it but unwilling to, Charlotte put the lid on the black cauldron and adjusted the fire.

He said nonchalantly, “There is a saying about it being detrimental for the master to teach the apprentice too well.

It exists in various industries.

But precisely because of this narrow-minded thinking, alchemy has become what it is today, and even the prescription has become a family heirloom.”

“So, do you plan to open up the prescription?” Vivian looked at Charlotte eagerly, feeling that he suddenly became towering.

“Within the next three to five years, I don’t have that plan,” Charlotte calmly replied. “I understand that as well.”

“Oh my…” Vivian rolled her eyes.

Charlotte continued, “However, in the future, I may establish a professional alchemical manufacturing facility to engage in standardized and large-scale potion processing, thus providing a stable and abundant supply of potion products.”

Vivian’s eyes lit up as she asked, “Are you planning to distribute potions to every corner of the Isor continent?”

Charlotte nodded slightly, looking at the large cauldron in front of him, and said with a smile, “Not just producing a single potion, but setting up a production line for each popular potion.

For example, hydrating essence, hemostatic potion, anesthetic potion, all can be more efficiently processed and then sent to various cities for sale at potion outlets.”

Vivian looked at Charlotte and felt a spark in his eyes.

After careful consideration, she couldn’t help but nod and say, “Yes! First aid kits sell so well even in the relatively impoverished Abyss, they will be popular in other cities too!

At such affordable prices, it gives patients who cannot afford to see physicians in clinics another option.”

“Work hard, and when the time comes, I’ll be the chairman and you’ll be the secretary,” Charlotte encouraged her.

“A secretary? What does a secretary do?” Vivian asked in confusion.

“A secretary is the chairman’s right-hand person, fully responsible for most affairs. It’s a very important position.”

“I’m sure I can do it well!” Vivian assured confidently, suddenly becoming full of enthusiasm.
