A Guide to Surviving the Mysterious Dungeon and the Twelve Talismans

"Boss, are you going out? It's foggy outside, it's too dangerous," a nurse said quickly.

"I'm here to help you find the shop manager, I can't stay in this weird world any longer," Zhou An said, opening the clinic door on his own.

Upon hearing this, the strange creatures did not say anything more.

The next instant, Zhou An pulled open the roller shutter door of the Faceless Clinic and walked out.

"Lock the door and wait for me to come back," Zhou An said before leaving.

Upon hearing this, the strange creatures immediately came forward and closed the clinic door.

Despite having four second-tier monsters among them, they dared not venture out in the dead of night.

Their very existence makes them prey for other bizarre creatures.

Upon arriving in the neighborhood, Zhou An dared not be careless and immediately put on the stone hat.

The reason he dared to come out was because of the stone hat.

No sooner had Zhou An put on the stone hat than a small, eerie figure emerged from the mist.

"Strange, I can clearly smell the scent of humans."

"And it seems like this roller shutter door was just opened?" The thin, strange-looking man stood no more than five meters away from Zhou An, looking completely bewildered.

It was right in front of him, but the thin, eerie creature completely ignored Zhou An.

“Third-tier, at least a third-tier strange entity.” Zhou An looked it up and down, sensing its trembling aura, and was certain that it was at least a third-tier strange entity.

Zhou An then left without lingering and headed straight for the Ghost Doctor Clinic across the street.

The store managers he was looking for were naturally Xiao Ku and Xiao Lou.

I've spent a few days with these two little devils and they seem pretty good. They should be fine as store managers.

He didn't need these two little monsters to do anything; they just needed to keep an eye on the monsters and prevent them from causing trouble.

"Knock knock knock!" Zhou An knocked on the door of the quack doctor's clinic.

However, there was no sound from inside.

“Little Skull, Little Lou, it’s me,” Zhou An said in a deep voice.

"Is this Dr. Zhou?" At that moment, Xiao Lou's voice came from inside the roller shutter door.

"Shut up, Dr. Zhou is human and has already returned to the real world. The one outside is definitely a monster in disguise."

“He’s definitely trying to trick us into going out and eating us. You’ll see, he’ll say he came because of something and wants us to come out.” Little Skull’s voice rang out immediately.

Upon hearing this, Zhou An's face darkened.

To be honest, that's exactly what Zhou An wanted to say.

Zhou An organized his thoughts and said, "I cured the Faceless Man's illness, and he has already given me the Faceless Clinic."

"Because I own the property deed, I have an hour to spend in the eerie world."

“I have already accepted all the doctors and nurses at the clinic. Now I want you to become the manager of the Faceless Clinic and help me manage those guys.”

The room fell silent.

"Are you really Dr. Zhou?" Xiao Ku asked somewhat uncertainly.

“I am,” Zhou An said in a deep voice.

"Brother, don't believe it. It's definitely some weird thing trying to trick us into going out," Xiao Lou's voice rang out.

"You only have one chance. Open the door within one minute and come with me to the Faceless Clinic. We won't wait for you if you miss this time."

“My patience has its limits,” Zhou An said coldly.

Little Skull and Little Lou are not the only options.

Unable to fight back, he went directly to Rouhun Foot Bath and asked the manager, He Yu, to do a part-time job as the manager of Wumian Clinic.

If I offered him a salary of three thousand yuan a month, I doubt he would refuse.

After a long while, the roller shutter door was slowly pulled open.

"Doctor, it really is you!" Xiao Ku and Xiao Lou were overjoyed and relieved to find Zhou An standing outside the door.

“You’ve made the right choice. Come on, follow me to the Faceless Clinic.” A faint smile appeared on Zhou An’s face.

Xiao Ku and Xiao Lou followed Zhou An towards the Faceless Clinic without any hesitation.

Chapter 46 Orange Isle

A short while later they arrived at the faceless clinic, and the small, eerie figure from before had already left.

Zhou An glanced at the roll-up door of the Faceless Clinic. Without even using a key, the roll-up door opened automatically.

He owns the Faceless Clinic and can open the roller shutter door directly, even if it's locked from the inside.

The three of them quickly entered the Faceless Clinic, and the roller shutter door closed automatically.

“Little Skull will be the manager of the Faceless Clinic from now on, and he will manage this place.”

"By the way, our Faceless Clinic will also be adding a dietary therapy program starting tomorrow, and Little Skull will be in charge of this program," Zhou An said in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, Little Skull paused for a moment, then nodded repeatedly: "Okay, doctor."

"You should all leave now, don't stay here."

"Little Skull and Little Lou, come on, I'll take you to your rooms." Zhou An said, and headed towards the second floor.

The second floor is the same size as the clinic on the first floor.

However, there aren't that many areas; they're almost all divided into individual rooms, totaling nine.

Nurses and doctors made up seven of the positions, leaving two remaining.

“This biggest one is mine. There’s one room left. Is it okay for you two to share it?” Zhou An asked Xiao Ku and Xiao Lou.

“No problem, no problem, it’s safer to live with my brother.” Xiao Lou nodded repeatedly.

She was too scared to live alone.

After entering the room, Zhou An signed a contract with Xiao Ku and Xiao Lou.

As the store manager, Xiaoku earns a monthly salary of 3,000 yuan, plus a 10% share of the clinic's profits.

Xiao Lou is an intern nurse, earning 1,500 yuan a month.

"Alright, with forty minutes left, I'll prepare some more meat and blood for tomorrow's dietary therapy."

Zhou An then led Xiao Ku to the cold storage on the basement floor.

The cold storage room is not small, measuring a full 60 square meters.

Zhou An immediately summoned his benevolent and malevolent forms, each wielding a knife.

"Guys, let's get moving! There are 38 minutes left. Let's try to fill the cold storage room," Zhou An said.

"They really know how to order people around." The evil entity grumbled as it entered the cold storage.

Immediately, the three began to repeatedly chop at their own legs.

Slashing off both legs at once can cut off two legs at once, making it more efficient.

In the blink of an eye, thirty-seven minutes had passed.

Zhou An is only one minute away from returning.

"It's almost time. This cold storage is only two-thirds full. Use it sparingly, and consume no more than ten packs a day," Zhou An said to Little Skull.

"Doctor, there are five thousand of them here, enough to sell for fifty days," Little Skull said excitedly.

“I’ll come back to make up for it if I have the chance in the future. Also, you can raise the price as you see fit. Twenty yuan is fine, thirty yuan is also acceptable,” Zhou An said calmly.

Zhou An didn't care about the price, but since the object was strange, adding a little more was understandable.

"Okay, doctor, thirty yuan is just right. I thought it was too cheap when you sold it for ten yuan before," Little Skull said quickly.

"Okay, from now on, we can give each person in the clinic a bowl at noon and in the evening, and you and Xiao Lou can have an extra bowl."

“Manage the clinic well for me, and you’ll benefit from it in the future.” Zhou An patted Xiao Ku on the shoulder.

"Yes, doctor, I will definitely work hard." Little Skull felt a great honor and immediately straightened his chest.

"By the way, doctor, should we change the name of this clinic?" Little Skull suddenly said.

Zhou An stroked his chin thoughtfully for a moment, then shook his head: "No need, let's just go with the Faceless Clinic. I'm too lazy to change it."

"Alright, I'm leaving now. You'll have a tough time starting tomorrow."

As soon as Zhou An finished speaking, he disappeared from the spot.

Little Skeleton watched Zhou An disappear, a smile of excitement spreading across his face.

He became the manager of the Faceless Man's shop.

It's important to know that store managers have a lot of authority.

As long as Zhou An isn't around, he's the most powerful person in the Faceless Clinic.

It can be said that Little Skull has finally gained a foothold in the bizarre world and has a stable job with some power.

Don't underestimate him just because he's only a first-tier weirdo now; I believe it won't be long before he advances to a second-tier weirdo.

And all of this was given by a human being.

……

The real world.

Around seven o'clock.

Li Shengsheng has arrived at Orange Isle.

Although it was already 7 p.m., the entrance to the scenic area was still packed with people.

Because it's after get off work hours, there are so many people.

"Go to the toilet," Zhou An suddenly said.

"You're back? I've been waiting for you for ages. But why are you going to the bathroom?" Li Shengsheng asked, puzzled, but she obediently went to the bathroom anyway.
