Chapter 3 Second-Hand Dealer
"There are people inside. I hope you don't affect each other."
Bock took Lu Yunkai to a wooden door at the back of the store that looked a bit dilapidated and gave him a warning.
Lu Yunkai nodded in response.
On the way here, Chris had introduced him to this magic shop of Borgin and Burke.
As the largest store in the magic world that specializes in selling black magic items, the items placed in this warehouse No. 3 are all "ordinary" items that Borgin and Burke have received from others and deceived him with sleight of hand, and then he successfully broke through them.
Although Lu Yunkai thought that there might be a lot of abandoned items in Borgin and Burke, when he opened the broken wooden door and walked into the warehouse No. 3, he was still shocked by the scene in front of him.
The storefront of this Borgin and Burke magic shop is only about two or three hundred square meters, so Lu Yunkai thought that this warehouse would be good if it had more than ten square meters.
However, this is a huge warehouse of thousands of square meters.
It was filled with all kinds of things, from furniture to jewelry, and all kinds of strange and bizarre gadgets.
"I see."
Lu Yunkai muttered in a low voice.
On the way here, he was very curious. The current Ministry of Magic regards dark magic as an enemy. Why doesn't anyone regulate this kind of store that openly sells dark magic items?
At first, he thought that it was the opposition of those poor wizards who came here to buy second-hand items that prevented the Ministry of Magic from taking action!
Now it seems that it is not the case at all!
Just like dead seafood cannot be sold, the cost must be spread to the live goods that can still be sold.
There are so many things in such a huge warehouse here, and each one is bought by the greasy middle-aged man just now. The things for sale in the two hundred square meters outside must bear the cost of all these items!
This store can be open for decades, which means that those "treasures" that are sold for more than a dozen or even dozens of items can not only be sold, but also have good sales...
This profit!
No wonder the black magic can't be banned!
Lu Yunkai was a little worried that he would get into trouble if he brought second-hand goods bought from the black magic shop to school. Now that he understood the trick, he was completely relieved and began to select and find the items on his list in the huge warehouse.
However, although there are many things here, most of them are not what he can use.
He finally found two brass balances and telescopes.
"I don't know if these two things are worth one Galleon!"
Lu Yunkai didn't know the prices in the magic world yet, and he was a little worried about whether he had lost money.
"Of course it's worth it, meow." Chris nodded, "If these things are all cheap, is it necessary for the school to let you bring your own?"
"You're right." Lu Yunkai nodded. "Then I paid the entrance fee, can I take as many things as I want?"
"Yes! If you feel you are losing out, you can move a table or a sofa." Chris was a little disdainful of Lu Yunkai's "stinginess", "Do you have a place to put it?"
"This... you don't have to put it!"
Lu Yunkai suddenly had an idea.
[How can I help you? ]
A row of phantoms appeared in front of him.
'I want to sell... this wooden jewelry box. ' Lu Yunkai's eyes swept to a beautifully decorated box next to him, and he said silently in his heart.
[This item is not yours yet, it cannot be sold. ]
"How can I make the things here mine?" Lu Yunkai asked Chris.
"Just take it away and it's yours!" Chris was confused by the question, "Do you think Borgin and Burke will bargain with you for the garbage here?"
"Garbage? That means if I take away all the things here, Borgin and Burke won't be angry, right?"
"Of course! He has been troubled by these things and doesn't know how to deal with them!" Chris nodded, "Although these things are all shabby items for wizards, they take up space here, but you can throw them away. If they are picked up by Muggles and cause trouble in the Muggle world, he will be unlucky if they are investigated by the Ministry of Magic."
"Is that so! I understand." Lu Yunkai nodded and picked up the box.
[Estimated value 10 Sickles. Do you want to sell it? ]
'Yes. ' Lu Yunkai made a decision.
The box disappeared in an instant.
'Where's the money? Where is it? ' Lu Yunkai did not see Sickle appear in his hand.
[The money from selling items will be stored in the system for you to buy items, but you cannot withdraw it. ]
'Why can't I withdraw it? ? ’
[This is the rule of the system, which has been introduced in the user manual. ]
This... He didn't read the previous instructions carefully. At that time, his attention was all on Chris who could speak!
Awkward.
Then I can only charge the system, but can't take it out? Or exchange it for something?
‘Do you have crucibles and potion bottles for sale? ’
[Yes. The prices of different crucibles and potion bottles are listed, please choose what you need. ]
"Meow? What happened just now?" Chris stared at Lu Yunkai's hand, where the box disappeared, "Where is the box?"
"I sold it." Lu Yunkai explained casually.
"Ah? How did you sell it? Where did you sell it to? How much did you sell it for?"
"This... I'll tell you later." Lu Yunkai shook his head and continued to look at the list in the shadow in front of him.
"Eh? Were you talking to the cat just now?"
Suddenly a female voice sounded next to her.
Like a basin of cold water poured on Lu Yunkai's head, Lu Yunkai had a thought and the shadow disappeared.
Turning around, there was a girl about his age standing behind him.
Long blond hair, a pair of big brown eyes, with a little curiosity.
"I'm talking to myself." Lu Yunkai shook his head.
"Are you a student going to Hogwarts this year?"
The girl glanced at the notice in his hand.
"Yeah. What?"
"Me too!" The girl smiled. "My name is Daphne, Daphne Greengrass."
"Meow? Greengrass? Didn't their family fall with the mysterious man? Don't tell me that the Malfoy family and the Black family are still there!!" Chrissy shouted next to her, "So how did the mysterious man die? ah?"
"My name is Lu Yunkai." Lu Yunkai ignored the meow, "Are you here to pick out necessities too?"
"My mother took me to Diagon Alley to buy everything two days ago."
"Oh? Then what are you doing here?"
"My mother said that there are many interesting things here in Bojinbok. She asked me to pick something from this place before entering school as a test of my eyesight."
Test your eyesight? Fine! I'm still worried about whether the tickets are worth it. I'm here to gain experience.
What a difference!
"You go look for it first." Daphne saw that Lu Yunkai stopped talking, "I'll continue to look around."
"Yeah." Lu Yunkai nodded.
"Meow! You should be more proactive!" Chris seemed to recover from her shock, "No matter what, there is no harm in meeting a girl from a big family!"
Lu Yunkai ignored it.
He didn't answer the cat's nagging, but he heard what Chris said. This girl's family background seemed to be very complicated, and she was also related to that mysterious man. What was he doing to get involved?
Besides, they are from a big, wealthy, aristocratic family... so what am I? The second generation of football hooligans? Do you deserve to be friends with others?
"By the way, do you still want to buy a medicine bottle?" Daphne suddenly said to Lu Yunkai again.
"Well, I just looked around and I didn't see any. I might have to go to Diagon Alley to buy new ones."
"I've seen one over there. It's a bit old, but not damaged." The girl pointed to a corner of the warehouse, "It's on a sofa."
"Oh? That's great! Thank you!"
Following Daphne's instructions, Lu Yunkai found a test tube bottle made of crystal on a purple velvet sofa in the corner of the warehouse.
"Meow? Isn't one bottle not enough?" Kris stared at the crystal bottle, seemingly wary, "And this bottle feels weird."
"What's wrong with a crystal bottle? Didn't you just ask me to be a friend? You have to accept the kindness!" Lu Yunkai picked up the crystal bottle, smiled and shook it at Daphne who was looking over there, while whispering complained about Chrissy.
"Meow?"
"Eh? This crystal bottle seems to have some background!" Lu Yunkai's eyes lit up.
[Estimate: 300 Galleons. Do you want to sell it? 】
The shadow that only he could see flickered.
"Meow! Go to Diagon Alley to buy the remaining things! You still have to find a place that can help me reply to Hogwarts. There are a lot of things to do!" Chrissy reminded Lu Yunkai.
But he didn't seem to notice the velvet sofa that disappeared after Lu Yunkai picked up the crystal bottle, and the carved chair that disappeared next to it.
"good."
Lu Yun glanced at the transaction limit of ten gold galleons added to the system, and then put the potion bottle into his pocket.
"Did you find it? Huh? There was a sofa with a medicine bottle on it just now..."
Just when Lu Yunkai was about to sell some more things to the system, Daphne came over and was a little surprised when she looked at the empty place where the sofa was.
"Forget it if you don't have it, I'll go to Diagon Alley to buy it!"
Lu Yunkai smiled at Daphne and hurriedly left Bojinbok Magic Shop.
It doesn't matter. I will definitely come back to this warehouse myself! Next time wait until no one is inside!
