Run A Medical Clinic In The Abyssal World - Chapter 219: Capitalist Charlotte (2)

Charlotte returned to the laboratory. Jerry Number Two and Number Three were still banging against the iron bars, sparring with each other, displaying abundant energy.

Calculating the time, it had already exceeded three minutes.

Charlotte turned over an hourglass on the table for fifteen minutes, listening to the sound of the sand slowly falling, waiting for the effects of the potions to wear off.

When the last grain of sand fell, Jerry Number Two and Number Three finally exhausted their stamina, collapsing to the ground.

Charlotte confirmed the condition of the two white mice. Apart from being physically exhausted, there were no major issues. After resting in the cage for a day, they would be lively again.

This means that a person taking this potion should not die. As for the long-lasting enhancement effect, we need to test it on a patient with such a need to know for sure.

During this period, there have been patients who came seeking medical help for this matter. However, at that time, Charlotte did not have a suitable potion, so there was nothing he could do.

Based on his inference, there should be some effect, at least better than simply soaking the Three-Leafed Scarlet Fruit in water.

However, the specific amount of time it can enhance and whether there are other improvements are still to be verified.

Unfortunately, he doesn’t have such a need. With his current formidable physique, being able to knock out a cow with one punch, (unable to demonstrate) it shouldn’t be a problem, right?

The clinic will open tomorrow, and he will have to recruit one or two volunteers to confirm the efficacy and check for any side effects.

Then he drank the second potion directly, closed his eyes, and carefully experienced it for a while.

[Test Result: Recovery effectiveness on a mid-level knight is 4%, not reached the standard!]

A note appeared in Charlotte’s field of vision.

Compared to yesterday’s double dosage of stamina potion, the efficacy had increased by 0.5%, but it had not reached the recovery effectiveness he needed.

The system’s direct and accurate numerical judgment saved him the trouble of rough estimation.

Then he drank the third potion as well.

[Test Result: Recovery effectiveness on a mid-level knight is 4.5%, not reached the standard!]

The enhancement effect of Purple Rock at Lake Herlin was slightly better, with an increase of 1%.

“4.5% may not seem like much, but it can already be considered a qualified stamina potion. For lower-ranked knights, the effect should be even better.” Charlotte pondered, jotting down this formula. If there were no better alternatives in the future, this formula could at least replace the original stamina potion.

As for the weird mixture of the fourth vial, he disposed of it in an eco-friendly way.

There were better options for poisoning. This dark purple solution, emitting a strange smell, couldn’t be considered a qualified poison.

He still had some time in the afternoon, so Charlotte entered the alchemy room and began to refine today’s batch of mid-level potions.

“Boss, I’ve been brewing the basic hemostatic potion for so long, when will I be able to brew the mid-level hemostatic potion?” Vivian looked at him and asked.

“To brew the mid-level hemostatic potion, it relies on improvement in proficiency and insight into this potion. When you have an epiphany, naturally you will be able to brew it.” Charlotte calmly replied.

“But why not improve the formula for the hemostatic potion, like the stamina potion, by changing the ingredients to enhance the quality of the hemostatic potion?” Vivian asked, puzzled.

“Well…” Charlotte hesitated for a moment. Theoretically, this was completely feasible.

After all, the formula of this hemostatic potion was only improved by the original body based on previous experience. It was impossible to say that it had reached the ceiling of the hemostatic potion.

The hemostatic potions sold in different alchemy shops on the market generally had different formulas and varying efficacy.

By improving the formula, it could indeed enhance the effectiveness of the hemostatic potion.

“Do you think a potion formula is so easy to come up with? This requires careful consideration and cannot be rushed.” Charlotte shook his head.

Currently, the layout of the clinic’s basic first aid kit and mid-level first aid kit was quite good, and the efficacy was already meeting patients’ expectations, so there was no urgent need to improve the formula.

In contrast, if the improvement of physical potions can achieve the expected effect, it would be enough to become the next favorite potion of adventurers, and it would also become a source of income for the clinic.

Charlotte is a professional when it comes to calculations.

“Oh.” Vivian shrugged and didn’t continue discussing the topic.

She then asked, “Boss, are you going to Calva tomorrow? Can you take me and Kasha with you?”

Kasha also looked at Charlotte with anticipation upon hearing this.

Charlotte originally wanted to refuse, but seeing the two girls’ hopeful eyes, the words on the tip of his tongue were swallowed back.

Come to think of it, Vivian has been in the clinic for a while now, and her daily activities are limited within a fifty-meter radius around the clinic, like a canary confined in a cage.

Since being washed ashore, Kasha has spent most of her time hiding in the sewer. After coming to the clinic, she hasn’t even taken a step outside the door, except for a trip to the tailor shop with him.

“Alright, tomorrow I’ll rent a carriage and take you to Calva for a visit,” Charlotte nodded.

Calva is a relatively safe city. Taking them there tomorrow would allow Leo and Jennie to show them around without affecting his work.

“That’s great, boss, I love you!” Vivian bounced and was about to throw herself into Charlotte’s arms.

“No, no, you might knock over the pots,” Charlotte quickly stopped her exuberant behavior.

Vivian had to turn to Kasha’s embrace and hug her with the same joyful expression, saying, “Kasha, we’re finally leaving this ghostly place!”

Charlotte: …

The way she said it, it’s as if his clinic is a coal mine.

“By the way, boss, can I get an advance on my wages?” Vivian turned to Charlotte and asked.

“Of course, how much do you want to advance?” Charlotte nodded.

“I want to advance two thousand copper coins,” Vivian said with anticipation, “We rarely get a chance to go to Calva, so we have to explore, and buy things. I’ve heard that it has the most diverse and bustling market in the whole Isor Continent.”

“Here you go.” Charlotte directly took out twenty silver coins and handed them to Vivian.

“Thank you, boss,” Vivian joyfully accepted the money and turned to give half of it to Kasha.

“Here, Kasha, you hold onto this. It’s our shopping budget for tomorrow.”

“No, this money is the wages you earned through your hard work. I can’t accept it,” Kasha took a step back and refused to take it.

“Oh come on, we’re good sisters. Anything that belongs to me belongs to you too. Being too polite makes it feel awkward,” Vivian stepped forward and tried to give the money to Kasha.

“That’s enough, Kasha’s pocket money will be covered by me,” Charlotte took out another twenty silver coins and walked over to hand them to Kasha.

“Master, this…” Kasha held a handful of silver coins and looked a bit at a loss.

“Just take the pocket money from the master and hold onto it. Kasha is now the clinic’s chief potion salesperson and material handler,” Charlotte said with a smile.

“Boss, do you need a maid? I can wash dishes, be cute, and wake you up in the morning,” Vivian approached and looked at him with hopeful eyes, “Just give me some pocket money every month.”

Charlotte looked at her, with a delicate face adorned with a bit of baby fat, coupled with those cat ears, plump chest, and petite figure, she’s indeed quite cute. A cat maid and she can wake him up…

“Not needed,” Charlotte coldly refused.

Any problem that can be solved with money should not be dragged into other relationships.

Look, now that she doesn’t need pocket money, Vivian still cleans the clinic diligently, washing dishes and pots every day without complaints.

As a junior capitalist, Charlotte is still relatively clear-minded.

“Hmph,” Vivian snorted lightly, “Forget it, I’ll be getting decent surgery and alchemy commissions this month. I’ve been keeping track of my daily activities. When I get paid next month, I’ll be a rich person.”

Charlotte frowned upon hearing this. Vivian has been working at the clinic for almost a month now, and based on her workload this month, her commission income would be at least over ten thousand copper coins, possibly even higher.

He should calculate this money in advance, otherwise, if he doesn’t have the money to pay the wages, it could lead to labor disputes.

But then he had a sudden realization.

Which boss pays wages at the beginning of the month?

Don’t they usually pay on the 15th, withholding half of the month’s payment?

Hmm…

Now that he thinks about it, this rule seems quite reasonable.

“Oh, I forgot to tell you earlier, the wages are paid on the 10th of each month.”
