"I'm such a genius!"
After packing up the alchemy room and dragging his tired body to lie on the bed, Charlotte's heart was still full of accomplishment.
The success in refining the Hemostatic Potion made him more confident in running a good clinic.
However, today's workload made him deeply realize that the clinic was in dire need of a hardworking and capable assistant to take care of miscellaneous chores.
After paying the rent and stabilizing the operation, if there was still money left over, he would consider recruiting an assistant.
Before closing his eyes to sleep, Charlotte looked at his attribute panel.

The wealth value remained stable at 4323, and the fifteen silver coins he spent in the afternoon did not deduct the wealth value, which was consistent with his previous deduction.
This was consistent with his previous deduction.
Moreover, he also possessed a special skill - Hemostatic Potion Refining.
The most curious thing to him was the experience bar, he was currently a beginner, if he brushed up his experience value to 1,000 and reached intermediate level, would the hemostatic potion he refined also become an intermediate hemostatic potion?
What about brushing up to advanced level?
With fond visions, Charlotte went into dreamland.
The two thousand meter high giant lamps in the east and west made the bustling Karwar City a city that never sleeps.
The white unicorn carriage slowly stopped in front of a gorgeous mansion, and a handsome man in gorgeous clothes, with his arm around a chimera with her breasts half exposed, walked out from the carriage and asked the attendant at the side, "Did you catch that little girl?"
"Lord Viscount, we have not found Vivian for the time being, and my subordinate deduces that it is highly likely that she has already entered the Abyss." The attendant lowered his head, his forehead covered in cold sweat.
"A bunch of losers! Can't even catch a little girl who only knows healing techniques." Karpath's face turned cold, and a ball of fire was already jumping in his palm.
The squire's face turned pale and he fell to his knees with a plop.
"Lord Viscount, this is Calva, don't forget Lord Duke's instructions before he left." An old man clad in gray robes came up from the back, and with just a glance, the fireball in Karpath's hand went out.
"Count yourselves lucky." Capas lowered his hand and added, "You go find Carroll, the Abyss is his territory, tell him to pull that girl out."
"Yes!" The attendant was like an amnesty and immediately got up from the ground and flew away.
Karpas wrapped his arm around the chimera and walked towards the mansion, the gray-robed old man following him.
"Lord Viscount, your trip is for Miss Elizabeth after all, you still need to pay attention to your words and actions within Calvary City, the importance of this marriage is clear to you." The gray-robed old man glanced at the chimera.
"Go wait for me in my room." Karpas patted the chimera's plump buttocks.
The chimera left with a sense of humor.
"Uncle Bill, father asked you to protect me and spy on me in the meantime." Capas looked at the gray-robed old man with a helpless face and said.
Bill didn't answer and turned to say, "This man Carroll can't be trusted, and if the account book falls into the hands of the Judson family, it will be a troublesome thing for the Duke to
say it is a troublesome matter."
"You can rest assured, borrowing a hundred guts from the Judson family he wouldn't dare to do such a thing, they have always wanted to sell magic pills to the Lance Empire, Carroll even came to beg me several times for this matter, I am giving them a chance." Capas grinned a grim smile, "If they can't grasp it, they know the consequences."
Charlotte got up early, yawning but unable to spare herself a metabolic strength potion.
He went out and bought two black breads at a cost of four copper coins, ate one to fill his stomach and kept one for lunch.
Poverty gave him a strong will to face desperate situations.
While there were no patients coming to the door yet, he first cleaned the operating room.
A poor surgical environment could easily lead to post-operative infections and increase the mortality rate.
As for those messy surgical tools, they made his head spin a bit.
The rusty iron saws and scalpels were simply enchanted tetanus blades, and those who could get off the operating bed were warriors.
Charlotte chose two of the sharper, shorter knives with fewer rust spots, did some polishing and cleaning, and then sterilized them by boiling and disinfecting them for backup.
"This is more like a hacking tool, not like a scalpel." Charlotte waved the half-pound short knife in her hand, which was really awkward as a scalpel.
There was a dwarven blacksmith store right on Baca Street, when he paid the rent and had money left in his hand, Charlotte considered going to customize a handful of scalpels for himself.
His current small goal is to earn ten thousand dollars! Opening the system mall, he looked at what goodies were in there.
That said, this system was awesome.
A mission earns money at both ends.
The money earned can also be spent on both ends.
It's like double the fun!
Dang! Dang! Knock!
Right at this moment, the clinic's door suddenly shook violently, and the loud knocking sound seemed as if someone was banging on it with a siege hammer right in the
general.
"What's the situation? Baca Street shouldn't be in a situation where a home invasion occurs in the middle of the day, right?" Charlotte was startled and grabbed the magic charm and hid a short knife in her hand before carefully opening the door.
As soon as he opened the door, he was met with a pair of large, cloudy eyes.
Then a large face that crowded the entire door.
It was a face covered in gray-brown bark, its features twisted together in pain, and its gaze erupted with a hopeful light the moment it saw Charlotte.
It was the Tree Man!
The tree man took two steps backward, and only then did Charlotte see the full face of this huge tree man that was over nine meters tall.
Although he had a tall body, this tree man was in a weak state everywhere, much of the bark on his body had fallen off, revealing yellowish branches, his right arm was broken, and there were traces of being burnt at the broken arm, but these were old injuries.
He covered his throat with his left hand, looking unusually pained, and when he saw Charlotte staring at him, he hastily pointed his finger at his open mouth again.
"Choking on a foreign object?" Charlotte quickly understood what he meant.
The tree man immediately nodded his head.
[Ding! Tree Man Amos has issued an urgent quest to you: remove the foreign object choking him! Quest reward: copper coins x 100!
The system's voice then sounded.
"If you are choking, you should immediately use the Heimlich method, encircle the patient from behind, clench your fist against the lower edge of his ribs and between his navel, and then push upward ..." Charlotte looked at the tree man's massive form and stopped recalling.
Apparently, no one in the room, including the surrounding neighbors who had come out to see what was going on, had been able to administer first aid to the tree man in this manner.
"A tree man choking to death, that's a rare thing."
"What is a tree man doing in the abyss if he doesn't stay in the forest? This place is not at all suitable for tree people to survive, they can't even get sunlight."
"Can we chop some wood back to burn later? The firewood at home just ran out."
The onlookers whispered without much pity.
Summer Bath didn't have time to feel the world into the warmth, look at the tree into the huge body, the head that connects into the height of a storey, as well as the mouth that looks like a big door after opening, have a new idea, shouted: "You hang down your head, I may be able to help you directly to take out the foreign body."
The tree man was already close to a state of suffocation, his emotions were a bit manic, and he was gradually losing control of his body.
But when he heard Charlotte's voice, it was like grasping the last straw, creeping down in the direction of the clinic, and his huge face re-squeezed in front of the clinic's door.
"Open your mouth!" Charlotte said.
The tree man opened his mouth as if it were an open door, able to easily swallow an adult human in one gulp.
A strong fishy odor came in, like a sewer that had been cellared for eighty-two years, an unspeakable sourness that made Charlotte subconsciously cover her mouth and nose.
The huge mouth that opened up, the inside was pitch-black, nothing could be seen.
The abyss's touching visibility was obviously not enough to illuminate what was going on in the tree man's mouth.
Charlotte turned around and took down an oil lamp from the wall behind him, but looking at the pitch-black mouth of the abyss, a few moments of hesitation rose in his heart.
He was no more than a mortal body now, if he stepped into the tree man's mouth and he suddenly went berserk and lost control, the probability of death was extremely high.
Ho-ho...
A weak sound emanated from the tree man's throat, as if it was a leaky bellows, while his torso began to tremble uncontrollably.
The situation was critical and could not be delayed any longer!
"I'm coming in!"
Charlotte carried the oil lamp, looked at the pitch-black giant mouth, and took a step into it.
The inside of the tree man's mouth wasn't as sticky as imagined, Charlotte palmed the oil lamp and walked inside.
"The wear and tear on these teeth is just miserable! A mouth full of teeth should be replaced!"
"Oral health is a concern, a full cleaning is needed!"
Charlotte spat as he rolled over the half-meter high brown teeth, ignoring the various plant fibers and debris left between the teeth, and climbed onto the whitish tongue, crawling deeper into his throat.
He had to find the foreign object stuck in the tree man's throat and try to remove it.
With an extra person in his mouth, the intense sensation of a foreign object made it impossible for the giant to keep his mouth calm.
The uneasy tongue, chattering teeth, and writhing mouth lining were all dangerous presences for Charlotte.
Quickly, Charlotte rolled over the tip of the tongue and stood on its root, holding the oil lamp in her hand toward the depths of the pitch-black throat, a dark, narrow channel that sloped downward.
"Hi there."
Just then, a ghostly voice came from the depths of the tree man's throat, echoing continuously in the narrow mouth.
The eerie appearance of the voice scared Charlotte's hand, and the oil lamp almost flew out of her hand.
