Chapter 72 Good Luck Comes

"Yeah! On the contrary, the automatic storage cabinet that I thought could sell for 50,000 gold galleons only sold for 8,000 in the end." Mrs. Zabini also laughed. "Now I don't dare to set the price."

"It seems that both of us don't know how to set the price." Lu Yunkai was a little helpless, "Is it possible to find someone who knows how to set the price?"

"Borgin and Burke do know how to set the price. Do you think he can help you with this?" Zabini rolled his eyes at Lu Yunkai, "People who have the ability to set the price have opened their own shops. Where can I find someone who can do it!"

"That's right." Lu Yunkai smiled helplessly and shook his head.

"It would be great if there was a way to sell things without setting the price."

Mrs. Zabini said with a smile.

She just took this as a joke, but Lu Yunkai took it to heart.

A fragmentary memory of his previous life suddenly appeared in his mind.

"By the way, Madam Zabini, how much does an ordinary space bag usually cost?"

"Space bag? Very cheap! Any wizard who has passed the NEWTS spells exam can make one by himself... Well, of course, there are a large number of people who can't pass it, but it's a bit unrealistic if you want to sell this kind of thing to make money." Madam Zabini explained.

"I'm not selling space bags."

Lu Yunkai took out fifty bottles of potions from his space bag that he had originally planned to give to Madam Zabini as a cover-up.

"Take fifty bags, put all these potions in them, and then shuffle their order, give them an estimated average price, and then sell them randomly according to this average... Which potion the customer buys depends entirely on luck."

Lu Yunkai expressed his idea.

In fact, this was not his idea at all. He had seen it in his previous life, something called "lucky bag" and "blind box".

For people with pricing difficulties, it seems that Lu Yunkai can't think of a better solution than this.

"Selling random potions? What's the point? Can't I just buy whatever potion I want?"

"But if I buy a very expensive potion with very little money, wouldn't that be a profit?" Lu Yunkai smiled, "I can just sell this potion and then go to the pharmacy to buy what I want..."

"Isn't this a waste of time!" Mrs. Zabini couldn't understand it at all, "What if I buy a cheaper one?"

"Just consider yourself unlucky! We'll tell you how many kinds of potions there are and the random proportions of each one. You can decide whether to buy it or not!" Lu Yunkai spread his hands.

"I still think it's unnecessary." Madam Zabini shook her head seriously, "And you don't need a space bag to sell potions like this! Ordinary small bags can hold them all."

"What if someone breaks the rules and wants to use magic to look into the bag? A space bag can eliminate this possibility! Besides, you can put something in the space bag when you take it back, so even if you buy very cheap potions, at least you can feel comforted..."

"Okay, stop it. I don't support your idea." Madam Zabini interrupted Lu Yunkai.

"Let's put it this way, how much does a space bag that can hold this counter cost?" Lu Yunkai insisted on his own idea.

"Five Galleons each, I'll make it for you." Madam Zabini casually quoted.

"I want something nicer!"

"I've made a five-Gallon potion that's even prettier."

"Well, I have fifty bottles of potion here, divided into five categories. The most expensive one is the explosive corrosive potion. How much is it?"

"The Ministry of Magic prohibits the public sale of this stuff!"

"Then let's take the most expensive one, three thousand gold Galleons per bottle, okay?" Lu Yunkai nodded, "The cheapest should be the herbicide, right?"

"One Galleon per bottle." Mrs. Zabini saw that Lu Yunkai was determined to do this, so she let him do it.

"Then put these fifty bottles of potion in a space bag and sell them for 150 Galleons per bottle."

"There's no way you can sell this!" Mrs. Zabini calculated in her mind that the market price of these fifty bottles of potion was less than 50,000 gold Galleons. According to Lu Yunkai's price, it can be sold for 75,000. Even with the space bag, it's not worth this money!

Who would be so stupid to buy this?

"Try it first. If it doesn't work, it won't cost you money." Lu Yunkai smiled and shook his head, "Let's arrange it this way!"

"Okay, it's your own stuff anyway." Mrs. Zabini couldn't persuade him, so she could only nod and agree. While turning around and moving the things Lu Yunkai put on the counter to the shelf behind her, she said to Lu Yunkai: "You should make more magic items. I'm counting on that for my retirement!"

"Even if I can make them, I'll have to wait until Christmas when I can leave school and then come to you!" Lu Yunkai smiled and waved his hand, "These things can't be transported by owls. It's too ostentatious."

"Anyway, you have to sell potions and put them in space bags. It's impossible for the people in the Ministry of Magic to check the information of every owl. Don't worry!" Mrs. Zabini didn't care.

"By the way, I remember that you and Blaise didn't seem to use owls to transmit items and information. How did you do it?"

Lu Yunkai expressed his disagreement by changing the subject.

He still remembered what the Death Eater said when he interrogated the Death Eater in Liverpool.

They have someone in the Ministry of Magic who can find out who he is.

After returning from Liverpool, Lu Yunkai never used an owl again. He even thought that if he had the chance, he would erase the fact that he used an owl to pretend to send Phoenix Tears to Blaise.

Now, let alone using an owl to send the things he "changed" to sell to Madam Zabini.

If someone really discovered Madam Zabini's weirdness and used some connections to find him out from the Ministry of Magic, wouldn't that be a big loss?

"It's some kind of spell contract that can be used to transmit information and very few things. It can only be concluded between people who are related by blood or have soul ties."

"Soul ties?" Hearing the word soul, Lu Yunkai's eyelids jumped.

Oh, I was busy proving my identity to my future father-in-law at Greengrass's house, and I forgot about this serious matter!

"It's between men and women... Auntie, I can teach you!" Madam Zabini had a strange smile on her face, "Do you want to try?"

"... Forget it, I'm still a child." Lu Yunkai shuddered with a chill, "But since this spell is related to the soul, doesn't the Ministry of Magic care?"

"Oh? You know this?" Madam Zabini laughed even more happily, "Of course the Ministry of Magic cares! But I won't let them know."

"Madam, you seem to be very knowledgeable about soul magic?"

"It's okay. Why, you want to learn? I can teach you! But you have to have a soul bond first..."

"I want to ask you, if a part of a person's soul is attached to an object, how can I remove this soul attached to it?"

"Killing Curse."

"..."

"The soul attached to an object is the same as the soul in our body, except for the Killing Curse, which can't be removed." Madam Zabini put away her smile, "Or you can just destroy the object."

"Yeah." Lu Yunkai could only nod his head after hearing what Madam Zabini said.

It was exactly the same as what Snape said. It seems that this is really the rule in the magic world!

"Then you can find a way to make a set of item transfer cabinets yourself." Seeing that Lu Yunkai was determined not to use owls to deliver goods, Mrs. Zabini could only take a step back. "I have seen it in Borgin and Burke's. It is one of two cabinets in a set. It is still damaged. Borgin and Burke's sells it for 600,000 gold galleons."

"... Then I will go to Borgin and Burke's to see what it is. When I change things later, I will think of this." Lu Yunkai heard that this idea seemed feasible.

And he found the item transfer cabinet in the system as soon as possible.

It is not expensive. A pair sells for 30,000 gold galleons. He can take it out of the system now.

It's just that he has to go through the process.

"Well, it's a wardrobe-like thing on the left hand side after entering Borgin and Burke's. He calls it a vanishing cabinet."

"I will go back and try it tonight. If I can really make it, I will give it to you tomorrow." Lu Yunkai stood up and planned to take the opportunity to leave.

"Okay. Then take your time!"

"Yes."

Lu Yunkai walked out of Zabini Magic Items Shop.

Looking around, there were quite a lot of people on the street, many of whom were Hogwarts students who came with their parents.

After all, they had been stuck in school for two months before finally getting out to relax, especially the first and second graders, who couldn't even go to the small town called Hogsmeade near the school on weekends. Now they can finally get out to breathe some fresh air, so why not have fun!

But this had nothing to do with Lu Yunkai, he lowered the brim of his hat and walked into Knockturn Alley.

In Borgin and Burke's shop, Lu Yunkai saw the vanishing cabinet mentioned by Mrs. Zabini. This size was much larger than the cabinet that could teleport items that Lu Yunkai saw in the system.

Lu Yunkai reached out and touched it with curiosity...

This behavior was naturally reprimanded by Borgin and Burke, but it seemed that for Chris's sake, he didn't get angry and drive Lu Yunkai out.

Lu Yunkai found out that the thing Borgin and Burke called the Vanishing Cabinet was not the item teleportation cabinet that Madam Zabini said. This cabinet could not only teleport items, but also people...

And he also found the same cabinet in the system, a set of two, one million gold galleons.

It can be considered a very expensive treasure.

After leaving Borgin and Burke, Lu Yunkai did not stop and returned directly to Greengrass Manor. He had already planned that after dinner tonight, after returning to the Leaky Cauldron, he would make a set of cabinets that could only teleport items for Madam Zabini. Later, he could replenish the store at any time to ensure that he had sufficient financial resources.

However...

"Why are you staying at the Leaky Cauldron? There are vacant guest rooms at home, so just stay there! Let's go back to school together the day after tomorrow, isn't it good?"

At dinner time, Baron smiled and said something that Lu Yunkai couldn't refuse under Astoria's shocked expression.

And Daphne was already very happy next to him.

This...

That's fine.

It's just about the cabinet. I may have to wait until I get back to King's Cross Station and find a chance to hand it over to Mrs. Zabini.
