Chapter 143: Is the Boss that Kind of Person?
Leaving the grocery store, Charlotte habitually pulled up his hood and walked briskly along the wall.
The improvement in his strength made him no longer fearful while walking on the streets of the Abyss, but it did not make him let his guard down.
However, since the fall of the Jardson family, the safety in the Abyss seemed to have improved.
At least scenes of street robbery were much rarer than before.
Visiting Harry's grocery store today yielded a good harvest. He bought four talismans and twenty headlights and still had 206,000 copper coins in hand. His wealth value had also increased by 230,000.
With today's revenue of 44,320, his wealth value soared to 274,520!
This was equivalent to 27 bottles of the Powerful Potion!
Tonight was destined to be a sleepless night.
He would intoxicate himself with the Powerful Potion.
And the cash in his hand had also reached 296,980 copper coins for the first time!
It felt secure.
Returned to the clinic without any trouble, when he entered, he felt someone spying on him. He turned his head slightly but didn't find anything abnormal, so he pushed open the door and entered the clinic.
Last night, he reluctantly took action to save the Fox Guard, which was bound to attract the attention of some neighbors and arouse their curiosity. It was not surprising to be followed.
The clinic had been cleaned spotlessly, and even the oil lamps had been extinguished, leaving only the light still on in the alchemy room.
As he walked to the door, he saw Vivian earnestly brewing potions. From the materials she was using, she was brewing a hemostatic potion.
Today, they received over a hundred patients, almost depleting the stock of potions they had previously brewed.
"Boss, you're back," Vivian turned her head and glanced at him.
"Why are you so actively brewing potions today?" Charlotte smiled and asked.
"Because I found that these cleansing potions and hemostatic potions are handy and effective. Today, the patients with minor injuries all praised them," Vivian's face beamed with a lovely smile.
"They said that even a small injury if not promptly treated, could lead to death. These first aid kits are affordable and lifesaving."
Charlotte thought she wanted to earn more commission, but it turned out he had underestimated her.
She was truly full of compassion.
However, tiredness still lingered on her face. After all, she was just a weak magician who had been busy treating patients for most of the day, without a proper rest, and now she came to brew potions.
After a slight hesitation, he took out a bottle of milky white potion from his pocket and handed it to Vivian.
"What's this?" Vivian instinctively reached out to take it.
"Is this a new potion you've developed?"
Vivian genuinely admired Charlotte for being able to develop miraculous potions like the Magic Repulsion Potion.
"You could say that. This potion helps alleviate fatigue and to some extent enhances physical fitness. I can see that you've been working too hard lately, so..."
Charlotte watched as Vivian prepared to pour it into her mouth and quickly reached out to stop her.
"This is meant to be drunk before bedtime when you're taking a bath."
"It smells so good, like milk. I want it," Vivian's mouth watered. She happened to be thirsty and very tired, so drinking it now seemed perfect, didn't it?
"No, you must drink it when you take a bath at night," Charlotte covered the bottle again, thinking about his reaction when he first drank the Powerful Potion.
He was worried that if Vivian drank it now, it would be more than just her clothes bursting open.
That series of reactions could easily make her think he was a weirdo.
As an honest boss, he couldn't allow his image to collapse like that.
"Oh," Vivian put away the potion, not understanding why.
Then, the two of them smelled a burnt smell.
"Oh no! It's burnt!"
Vivian exclaimed in shock, turning around to see the charred potion in the pot. Her little face immediately fell, looking at Charlotte with a look of grievance.
It was all because of the boss. If he hadn't come to talk to her, the potion in the pot would have been successful.
"Clean the pot and let's go upstairs for dinner." Charlotte exited the alchemy room and went upstairs.
Dinner was simple, with only two stir-fried vegetarian dishes.
No one had gone hunting in the wilderness these past few days, and they couldn't find fresh game at the butcher's stall.
They did have some meat, but it was fresh meat on the butcher's cutting board, supposedly from the abyssal monsters that had invaded.
The thought of those creatures having eaten people made Charlotte lose his appetite. He decided to have a light meal with just the two vegetable dishes.
Vivian didn't mind at all. She enjoyed everything she ate. She even managed to eat three bowls of rice with the two plates of stir-fried vegetables.
Her appetite was comparable to that of a junior knight like Charlotte.
Anna, on the other hand, had been staring at the leaves on her plate for over ten minutes, furrowing her brows. It seemed that she didn't know where to start.
After dinner, Charlotte returned to his room. As he closed the window, he unexpectedly noticed a faint light from the shop across the street. It seemed to be rented out.
That was nothing strange though. The Harriman family was currently thriving, and Baka Street had been their territory for many years.
Future development could be anticipated, and it was normal for someone to take an interest in the vacant shop.
Sitting on the bed, Charlotte eagerly opened the attributes panel and exchanged all his wealth points for powerful potions.
Suddenly, twenty-seven bottles of milky white powerful potions appeared on the bed.
The difference between a junior knight and an intermediate knight was 2,000 kg, which meant twenty bottles of powerful potions.
With these potions on the bed, he had enough to confidently step into the intermediate knight level.
It was worth noting that she had only been in this world for less than a month.
Her path of practicing magic was interrupted due to the abolishment of the source, but with the existence of powerful potions, she could sprint on the path of becoming a knight.
Of course, the increase in strength was not the only thing that multiplied with higher knight levels.
An advanced knight would become a turning point.
However, she was confident in her future. As long as she worked hard, and lived cautiously, she would continue to grow stronger.
Taking off all her clothes, Charlotte brought all the powerful potions into the bathroom to start her journey of becoming stronger.
...
In the adjacent bathroom, Vivian also took off her clothes. Her beautiful teenage body was revealed in the bronze mirror: fair and almost translucent skin, delicate and cute figure, with a touch of evil that didn't match her cute face, adding a different kind of charm, pure and lustful.
She filled the bathtub with hot water, ready to take a comfortable hot bath and relax her body.
During this season, she couldn't handle cold showers.
Just as she put her feet into the bathtub, she suddenly remembered the potion the boss had given her earlier.
After a brief thought, she took her feet out and went outside to retrieve the bottle of milky white potion.
"The boss said it can relieve fatigue. So, if I drink it before taking a bath, it'll be double the pleasure, right?" Vivian thought to herself, opening the bottle and taking a few sips of the milky white potion.
She licked her lips and commented, "It tastes pretty good, like milk. It would be even better with some sugar."
Putting the potion bottle aside, she walked towards the bathtub.
But just as she took two steps, she felt a burst of fire suddenly erupt from her body, raging and surging within her, accompanied by crackling sounds, as if something was trying to burst out of her body.
