Chapter 238: Medical disturbance? (1)
With the good reputation of the clinic, the golden stamina potion has gained the trust of many adventurers and sold twenty-five bottles in the morning alone.
At 800 copper coins per bottle, this single item has increased the revenue by 20,000 copper coins.
However, people have also said that if there is no effect after use, they will not let it go easily.
Charlotte is naturally confident about this. It has been verified by the system, so the efficacy is reliable.
At the end of the morning business, Charlotte didn't rush to cook. He sat behind the counter and counted today's revenue.
Louise's surgery earned 10,000 medical fees, plus 10,000 copper coins from the system and an additional 20,000 copper coins from the golden stamina potion. So the total revenue for today reached 71,560 copper coins.
Charlotte counted the money with joy on his face.
Adding the money from selling the dimensional ring and the potion antidote yesterday, he now has 642,832 copper coins in hand.
It should be more than enough to build a workshop.
"Boss, what is this golden stamina potion? Is it a new potion you developed last night?" Vivian finished cleaning the two operating rooms and approached Charlotte curiously.
A 25% recovery effect, that's amazing!
Even the stamina recovery spell of an intermediate mage can only restore about 10% of stamina at a time, and it also has a cooldown.
"Yes, the original stamina potion had a very low recovery effect, so I developed this golden stamina potion." Charlotte put away the money and smiled at Vivian.
"What about it, do you want to learn?"
"Uh-huh." Vivian immediately nodded.
"If you want to learn potion brewing, it's no problem, but you must spend more time on magic practice and not waste your talent." Charlotte looked at her seriously.
"Adolf is eager to take you as his apprentice, which shows that your talent is even stronger than mine back then. Only by becoming an advanced mage will you have a chance to return to the capital and save your mother."
Vivian nodded thoughtfully and whispered, "So, was it a mistake for me to refuse Master Adolf's decision this morning?"
"Don't worry, he will come back. When the time comes, I'll talk to him for you." Charlotte reassured her.
It wouldn't be a good idea for Vivian, who had already changed jobs to become a knight, to follow him, a former mage with no talent.
If she could get guidance from Adolf, her talent would undoubtedly be maximized.
"We won't make potions this afternoon. I need your help to extract insulin." Charlotte said again.
Vivian's eyes lit up at the mention and she immediately nodded, "Sure!"
As Charlotte stepped out, now that he had money, he didn't feel good about letting two young girls eat sausages and pig blood every day. He decided to buy some proper beef to improve their meals and also pay a visit to the butcher.
There was still half a cow on the butcher's stall. When he saw Charlotte approaching, a smile immediately appeared on his face, and he greeted him warmly, "Doctor Charlotte, the beef today is good. Shall I cut some for you?"
"Give me ten pounds of beef brisket." Charlotte nodded and teasingly said when he saw the butcher's smiling face, "Did you come across some money? Your mouth is stretching from ear to ear."
The butcher cut a large piece of beef brisket, weighing nearly twelve pounds, and picked up another piece of brisket from below, handing them both to Charlotte with a slightly lowered voice, he smirked, "Doctor, do you still have that potion from yesterday? Sell me a few bottles."
"Potion?" Charlotte was startled, thinking that he had given him a bottle of stamina potion with three-leafed crimson fruit yesterday. Judging from his appearance, he should have already used it and should be quite satisfied with the effect. He asked immediately, "Did you use the potion? How was it?"
"It was amazing, too amazing." The butcher immediately raised a thumb. "To be honest, whenever I went to Aman Street before, those little brats would make fun of me in three seconds. But after I drank the potion you gave me yesterday, I didn't rest for two hours and dealt with those brats effortlessly."
"After using it, are there any side effects?" Charlotte asked again.
"No side effects at all, and I had a good sleep. I woke up feeling refreshed and more energetic than usual." The butcher grinned.
Charlotte smelled the words and had a rough idea in his mind. It seemed that this potion, which was accidentally concocted, indeed had some aphrodisiac effects.
Moreover, because it was an improvement on a stamina potion, it also had a partial effect of replenishing energy, providing double the pleasure.
"I'm sorry, but this potion is still in the experimental stage and has not been put on sale yet. If you want to purchase it, you'll have to wait for a while," Charlotte said.
This potion is different from the golden stamina potion. It hasn't undergone detailed and reliable effectiveness testing, so it can't be directly sold or introduced, and pricing is difficult as well.
Charlotte needed more samples for testing and to obtain reliable data before it could be mass-produced and put on the market.
"Oh... "
The butcher couldn't hide his disappointment in his eyes.
Seeing Charlotte preparing to pay, he quickly said, "Take this piece of meat with you as my small token of appreciation. When the potion is available for sale, make sure to notify me first. I'll buy a few more bottles."
"Okay, I'll notify you first when it's available. Thanks!"
Charlotte took the meat and returned to the clinic. He found it quite interesting that the butcher was already placing a pre-order even before the potion was officially released.
"Wow, we have beef for lunch!" Vivian exclaimed with joy as she welcomed him.
Charlotte handed the beef to her to store in the freezer, while he went upstairs with the beef brisket to cook.
After lunch, Charlotte went to the alchemy room and brewed a batch of stamina potions with Tri-Leaf Apples, filling ten bottles. He also took ten bottles of golden stamina potions from the shelf before heading to Harry's General Store.
As soon as he entered, Charlotte took out two bottles of potions and placed them on the counter.
Harry stood up and examined the two bottles on the table.
"Did you brew your stamina potions?"
"Yes, this one is the golden stamina potion. It has a recovery effect of 25% for intermediate knights." Charlotte pushed the bottle on the right forward.
"25%!" Harry's eyes widened, and he immediately jumped onto the stool, grabbing the bottle of pale golden potion.
The liquid was clear and pure, without any impurities.
When he opened the bottle, there was no pungent smell or special fragrance—just an ordinary scent.
"Are you sure this potion can achieve a 25% recovery effect for intermediate knights?" Harry looked at Charlotte suspiciously.
"For 800 copper coins, if you don't believe it, you can try it. If it doesn't work, you don't have to pay. If it works, just pay me." Charlotte shrugged indifferently.
"Who would pay for a trial potion?" Harry grumbled.
Casually, Charlotte replied, "I've already sold twenty-five bottles this morning. I came to you today not for help with testing, but to ask if you want to stock up."
Harry had to sit back down and silently scrutinize the bottle for a while. He then asked again, "Can it achieve a 25% recovery effect?"
Charlotte nodded.
"Fine, I believe you."
Harry closed the bottle and suddenly became excited again.
"With such an incredible recovery effect, are you selling it for only 800 copper coins?"
