Chapter 130?Boss, You're So Dedicated
A wooden plaque was reserved on the door, and Charlotte borrowed a large brush from the bookstore next door and a ladder from the bakery next door. He climbed up and wrote the four characters' Abyss'.
Now, even the money for making signs has been saved.
"Doctor, don't mention it. These words are written with flying dragons and phoenix dances, and others may not be able to write them with this charm, "said the bald uncle in surprise.
"Yes, the boss's handwriting is really beautiful. "Vivian also exclaimed.
"Maintaining a good habit of keeping a diary in daily life can help practice calligraphy. "Charlotte chuckled slightly.
After the handwriting is dry, apply a layer of tung oil again, which can prevent the plaque from melting off when it comes to water, and also be waterproof and in insect-proof.
Soon, the Harriman family sent two carriages to haul back his personal belongings and various materials and potions.
Since the medical clinic has been completed and all the furniture has been entered, there is no reason to continue to scratch and eat at Harriman Manor.
Although the meals at Harriman Manor were exceptionally delicious and the beds were incredibly comfortable, Charlotte still wanted to practice swordsmanship at night. Living there made it difficult for him to fully indulge in her passion.
Accompanying him was Agatha, who got off the carriage and pouted, saying in a soft voice, "Doctor, are you abandoning me just like that?"
She looked as pitiful as a woman abandoned by a scumbag.
The bald uncle and Vivian immediately exchanged gossipy glances. Could it be that these two had some kind of special story?
"I'm just going home. It has nothing to do with abandoning you," Charlotte rolled his eyes. This girl loved drama too much, even more so than her mistress.
Agatha smiled, approached him, and whispered in his ear, "I'll go and make the bed for Miss. If she comes to stay, I'll serve you too, oh."
The emphasis on "serve you too" was quite heavy, and the two people standing nearby heard it clearly, their expressions becoming more subtle.
Charlotte couldn't be bothered to explain.
After all, he was just a playboy who liked to hang out on Amman Street. It wasn't abnormal for him to have an affair with a rich woman's maid, was it?
Move the materials for refining elixirs into the alchemy room, place the large black pot on the newly built stove, and display the inventory of potions on the shelves one by one, while personal items were moved to the second-floor room.
The study on the first floor was canceled, and a small study was set up in the master bedroom, which was more convenient for daily use.
After all, he had developed a good habit of writing a diary, and it was better not to let people know about it.
Anna found a comfortable corner on the top shelf of the medicine cabinet and had already started to doze off, emitting a slight snoring sound.
The carpenter's craftsmanship was excellent.
All the furniture had no adhesive but had the faint fragrance of wood and no other strange smells.
Moving indirectly was not a problem.
Charlotte checked the potions on the medicine cabinet.
The inventory from the previous refining had already been consumed, and now there were only four types of potions left: cleansing potions, hemostatic potions, anesthetic potions, and moisturizing elixirs.
For a clinic that relies on potions as an important auxiliary means, it seemed a bit meager.
"We have run out of stamina potions. I'll try to refine them tonight," Charlotte whispered to himself.
The formula for this potion was recorded in his diary, and he just needed to determine the precise ratios to master it.
Compared to when he first arrived in this world, penniless and attracting trouble with Carol the God of Slaughter, today was also an important day for him.
With the completion of the new clinic and significant improvements in hardware facilities, he dared to call it a clinic after upgrading everything. It was the fifth clinic in the Abyss.
With the collapse of the Jardson family and Carol's death, the most urgent threat was removed, and now he could start making big moves.
With his relationship with Diana and Roland, it meant that he could enjoy a relatively stable period of development.
Only poverty stood by him through thick and thin.
He now had only 26,460 copper coins in his pocket. Previously, he had obtained some equipment from Harry and spent 30,000 copper coins.
He was eager to earn more money now. One reason was to improve his strength, and the other was to enhance that damn sense of security.
The feeling of being broke made people feel insecure.
He already had a fairly clear plan for the future operation of the clinic.
Treating patients and performing surgeries were the main business. Apart from the days before and after the Blood Moon, the daily operation was quite stable, and there was room for improvement as his reputation grew.
The next step was to vigorously develop the secondary business of selling potions.
The moisturizing elixir sold for 800 copper coins a bottle was highly praised by Diana, who repeatedly repurchased it. If he could gain popularity among wealthy women, the profits would be considerable.
The cleaning and hemostatic potions, which sold for 100 copper coins a bottle, had low costs and were easy to refine. They had great development potential among adventurers and mercenaries.
The stamina potion, which sold for 200 copper coins a bottle, was effective for replenishing stamina and was also an essential tonic for wilderness survival.
The anesthetic potion was relatively mediocre. It was necessary during surgeries but not very useful outside the wilderness.
With a scalpel in one hand and potions in the other, he had to rely on them to establish a foothold in the Abyss.
Agatha came downstairs and saw Charlotte studying the formula for the stamina potion in front of the counter.
She approached him and said, "Doctor, are you not going back to the estate tonight? Miss reminded me to tell you that tonight is the night of the Blood Moon, and it might not be safe outside."
"Please thank the landlady for her kindness, but staying at the clinic would be fine for us," Charlotte responded with a smile.
According to the diary's record, on the night of the Blood Moon, there were occasional monster intrusions into the Abyss, but the chances were not too high.
Additionally, Diana had installed a fourth-order magical protective barrier for the clinic, which could easily block ordinary monsters.
"Okay." Agatha nodded and walked to the door, adding, "If you change your mind, just bring Eileen to the estate directly."
"Okay." Charlotte nodded, watching the girl climb onto the carriage and leave.
"Boss, the night of the Blood Moon is so terrifying. Shouldn't we stay at the Harriman Estate?" Vivian poked her head out of the alchemy room, her face filled with fear.
"I heard that there are no magic barriers in the Abyss, so if there is a beast tide, what should we do?"
"Why, have you seen a beast tide in the capital?" Charlotte was somewhat surprised by the girl's fear.
"In the imperial capital, I have never seen anything like it.
The magical protective barrier there is the most stable on the entire continent, and there is also a large number of knight armies guarding it," Vivian shook her head as if immersed in a terrible memory, her expression tinged with pain.
"On the way here, I passed through a small town called Kieran City.
It happened to be the night of the red moon, and a wave of small-scale beasts broke through the weak protective barrier and stormed into the city, almost devouring half of the population of the city.
If a hunting team hadn't coincidentally passed by and cleared the wave of beasts with the help of the city guards, everyone would have been eaten."
Vivian had been on the run for over a month before finally reaching the Abyss. She hadn't expected to encounter such a thing along the way.
Witnessing such a human tragedy must have had a significant impact on her.
"Don't worry, the Abyss has a unique terrain.
Despite not having a magical protective barrier for so many years, it has never been wiped out by the beast tide.
There must be something special about it," Charlotte comforted in a gentle voice.
"Tonight, I will escort you to the Harriman Manor, where you can stay peacefully for the night."
"But... are you going back to the clinic?" Vivian looked at him with some surprise.
"Yes, I plan to study the stamina potions thoroughly tonight and take care of the clinic as well," Charlotte nodded, having his consideration.
Based on experience, the invading beasts in the Abyss are usually the leftovers from the beast tides attacking Calva, and their strength won't be too powerful.
Additionally, the beasts that invaded in the past were usually dealt with by the joint efforts of the four major families, thus avoiding significant losses.
Baka Street is an important asset of the Harriman family and falls under the category of a protected area.
If there's a chance, he also wanted to get a close look at the beasts affected by the red moon night.
After all, he joined the Red Moon organization to study the effects of the red moon on the beasts. However, up until now, he had only seen completely processed beasts at the meat stall.
The newly equipped fourth-tier magic protective barrier at the clinic gave him some confidence, and his upgraded Intermediate Flash Step from entering the mysterious space last night became his lifeline.
In the complex buildings, he was confident that he could run faster than most of the neighbors.
He had no personal grudges with the beasts, and it's just a matter of who gets eaten for a mouthful of meat.
As long as he runs faster than his neighbors, he would be the one who definitely won't be eaten.
"Boss, you're so dedicated," Vivian said with admiration and guilt, gathering her courage to make a decision. "Then I will stay as well, and accompany you!"
"No, you should still go to Harriman Manor. That way, I'll feel more at ease," Charlotte quickly refused her blind sense of loyalty.
He thought of her clumsy appearance, and if a beast broke through the protective barrier, he couldn't guarantee her safety.
"Then please take care of yourself," the girl sighed in relief, feeling a weight lifted off her shoulders.
