Run A Medical Clinic In The Abyssal World

Chapter 129: The Abyss Medical Hall

Although he didn't understand why this woman insisted on having her room, he didn't believe she would give up her comfortable villa to come to live with him.

That would be inviting trouble, wouldn't it?

After all, he didn't have a kitchen staff on standby round the clock, nor did he have a gentle and considerate fox maid.

He didn't even have hot water.

The shower drew cold water from an ancient well, and the bathroom wasn't equipped with a bathtub.

Since the room was empty anyway, it was quite a bargain to use it to offset ten thousand coins of rent.

"Which room is yours?" Diana asked.

"The one by the street," Charlotte pointed to the first room.

"Then I'll take that one."

Diana pointed to the room next door and said, "You don't need to buy XX stuff for this room. I'll have Agatha come and decorate it in the afternoon."

"You...aren't planning to move in, are you?"

Charlotte felt that her attitude was somewhat worrisome.

"Who knows? If I'm in a bad mood one day, I'll come and stay for a few days. This room is mine. I'll come and go as I please, right?"

Diana's smile grew wider as she noticed Charlotte's nervousness.

"You're right."

Charlotte sighed inwardly, feeling a sense of being deceived.

Vivian followed them upstairs and heard that Diana had reserved a room. She was equally surprised but more delighted.

"Landlady, if you move in and live with us, will you bring chefs with you?" Vivian asked eagerly.

You are a foodie!

Charlotte's expression couldn't hide his exasperation.

"Not for now," Diana shook her head with a smile.

"Oh," Vivian felt a little disappointed, but her expression quickly brightened again. "It's okay. The boss is a superb cook. It's just...it would be even better if you could buy some meat."

The boss is good at everything, just excessively frugal.

"You can cook too?" Diana was genuinely surprised by the remark.

"Poverty forces one to master useful skills," Charlotte replied calmly.

Before he learned how to make "Gadeggs" for cats and dogs, he used to work in the kitchens of various restaurants, doing prep work, garnishing, and occasionally filling in for the head chef on leave.

His culinary skills weren't exceptional, but he could handle everyday home-cooked dishes.

"I want to taste your cooking next time I come," Diana looked at Charlotte, feeling that she still had a lot to learn about him.

"If you bring the ingredients, anytime is fine," Charlotte said seriously. "Usually, we can't afford meat every meal."

"What happened to the confidence when you turned down the million-coin investment last night?

A bottle of the Genius Potion, worth a million coins, and you don't even give your employees meat?" Diana teased with a smile.

"Don't try to sow discord in our harmonious labor-management relationship," Charlotte's face darkened.

Diana quickly left to take over the vast wealth and territory of the Jardson family, which would keep her busy for a while.

After all, she still had to negotiate the specific division with the Duru and Daniel families, which was also a time-consuming and laborious task.

Charlotte asked the fox guard to go to Harry's grocery store and have the furniture delivered, while he went to Guy's blacksmith shop.

"Doctor Charlotte, I'm about to finish forging this knife. I'm going to your clinic to see if it's open," Guy said, sweating profusely as he walked out of the forge room.

"I closed both clinics for three days since there weren't many patients. The new clinic is ready today, and I came to see how the lamp modification turned out," Charlotte explained with a smile.

"It's finished, I just don't know if it meets your requirements," Guy said, turning around and entering the warehouse.

He soon emerged carrying a large black object.

It was a complex set of mechanical arms with a large disk attached below.

Ten finely polished white crystals were evenly arranged on the disk, with a groove above for installing a large elemental stone.

The edges were smoothly polished, and even the mechanical arms were finely polished.

"After it was completed, I tested it and it mostly meets your requirements. If you find it doesn't work well after taking it back, you can always return it to me for modifications," Guy guaranteed confidently.

"Don't worry, I'll make sure it meets your satisfaction."

"Great, I'll take it back and give it a try," Charlotte nodded, asking, "How much is the fee? I'll settle it for you now."

Guy contemplated for a moment and said, "Just give me three thousand copper coins."

"If you keep quoting prices like this, I might not dare to come to you for custom-made items next time," Charlotte teased as she took out sixty silver coins and placed them on the counter.

He then took the Shadowless Lamp and said, "If it doesn't work well, I'll bring it back to you for help."

"You're giving me too much..."

Guy watched Charlotte leave with the Shadowless Lamp and couldn't help but mutter, "Doctor Charlotte may look weak, but he's really strong. He effortlessly carried over a hundred kilograms with just one hand."

He put away the money on the counter. The three thousand copper coins covered the cost, as he used high-quality metals for the mechanical arms, ensuring durability.

Moreover, it took him nearly three days to craft it and finally achieve satisfactory results. The three thousand fee seemed reasonable.

"Master, being a physician is so cool. Can I become one too?"

Abu, with a face covered in charcoal dust, poked his head out expectantly and asked.

"We're meant to be blacksmiths," Guy laughed as he ruffled Abu's head. "But you see, doctors can't do without us blacksmiths either.

They need tools, and they have to come to us to forge them.

If you become a skilled blacksmith, you'll also have contributed to saving lives as doctors treat patients."

Charlotte took the Shadowless Lamp back to the clinic and installed it in the center of the first operating room.

The mechanical arm was designed by Charlotte, with three sections that could be adjusted in height and moved back and forth. The lens could also be adjusted for angles, meeting most surgical needs.

After playing with the mechanical arm for a while, Charlotte couldn't help but praise Guy's craftsmanship.

The movements of the mechanical arm were smooth enough, and once fixed, it was secure.

Crafted entirely by hand, it had reached an impressive level of skill.

"Boss, what is this?" Vivian stood at the door of the operating room, curious.

"This is the Shadowless Lamp, used for surgical illumination," Charlotte explained as she pressed the mechanical button on the side of the disk.

Ten white crystals lit up simultaneously, illuminating the floor.

Charlotte extended her hand into the light, and there was only a very faint shadow on the ground.

"There is no shadow!" Vivian exclaimed in surprise.

"With sufficient illumination during surgery, it becomes more convenient.

Surgeries require precision, and adequate lighting can prevent mistakes caused by insufficient light," Charlotte explained with a smile, also very satisfied with the performance of the Shadowless Lamp.

"But why doesn't my operating room have one?" Vivian asked in confusion.

The smile disappeared from Charlotte's face, and with a serious tone, she said, "You know that your salary for next month is about to be paid, right?

If you think it's necessary, you can go and add one yourself."

"I see," Vivian pondered, "How much does it cost?"

"It's not expensive, only 6,000 copper coins. If your salary isn't enough, you can even request an advance from me for next month."

"Boss, you're kind. I... I'm touched," Vivian threw herself into his arms, filled with gratitude.

"It's okay, it's what I should do," Charlotte gently patted her back, feeling a twinge of guilt.

Harry was highly efficient. He arranged for all the furniture to be delivered and placed according to Charlotte's requirements within the morning.

With each piece of equipment being brought in, the new clinic took shape.

"Boss, we're still missing a sign in front of our clinic. Can't you give it a fancy name?"

Vivian looked at Charlotte, blinking her big eyes.

"Or maybe we should call it a medical hall?"

"A name, huh?"

Charlotte pondered. He had rejected Diana's proposal for funding, and the clinic didn't even have a name before.

Now that the clinic was reopening, it had been upgraded, and turning it into a medical hall wouldn't be a problem.

"Then let's call it the Abyss Medical Hall," Charlotte smiled.

The Abyss Medical Hall, for everyone in the depths.
