Chapter 206 Prepare to make trouble
Percy did not agree to lend the pet Scabbers to Albert after all, even though Fred said that he would give some Sickles as a fee for borrowing Scabbers. This was also within Albert's expectations. Although the Weasleys were a bit poor, they treated their family and pets pretty well, so he never thought they would succeed.
"What experiment do you want to do with mice?"
On the way to herbal medicine class, Lee Jordan curiously asked what happened just now, why did Albert need live mice? And the experiments he mentioned are also curious.
"Mandrake." Albert looked around and explained in a low voice after confirming that no one was there, "I used the magic item I showed you last time to record the cry of the Mandrake, and I plan to test it with mice. Let’s see if the recorded sound works.”
George next to him opened his mouth in surprise, while Fred's eyes lit up, and when they came to the greenhouse, he asked aloud: "Will the mandrake's crying make people fall into a coma? "
"Yeah." Albert nodded indiscernibly, with a weird smile on his face: "The sound makes people not very defensive, isn't it?"
"If it works, it's true that if you're not careful, you'll get caught." Fred put away his umbrella and walked into the greenhouse. George next to him was pretending to rub the goosebumps on his hands. Lee Jordan was stunned and couldn't help it. Asked in a low voice: "Why do you want to make such a thing?"
"Why?" Albert touched his chin, thought for a while, and then seriously replied: "I always feel that this kind of thing will be used."
"Will it be used?" The three looked at each other, unable to understand Albert's words and his mode of thinking.
"I don't need power." Albert said softly, "But I must have power."
When he said this, Albert suddenly wanted to laugh. He knew that Fred and the others might not understand, so he continued before Professor Pomona Sprout started class: " You may not need too many Galleons, but you must want to have a lot of Galleons, don't you? The reason is the same."
"I definitely wish I had a lot of Galleons." Fred and George looked at each other and couldn't help muttering.
The Weasley family is not rich, and the pocket money that Arthur can give the children is very limited.
Not long after, Professor Sprout began to teach everyone about jumping toadstools. This mushroom has a weak toxin, and it also has a weak mind. Well, like its name, it also has the ability to jump.
It's kind of like a Bowtruckle, but it leans more toward mushrooms.
"The professors at Hogwarts are really rich." Albert looked at the jumping toadstool that was assigned to him, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
"Why do you say that?" George reached out and grabbed the jumping toadstool that wanted to jump away, trying to bury it in the soil.
Jumping toadstools don't inhabit rotten wood, but in damp soil.
Well, there needs to be animal carcasses in the soil, that is to say, this mushroom actually eats meat in a sense.
The rainy season is the best breeding season for toadstools. Professor Sprout is teaching everyone how to deal with toadstools correctly and allow them to reproduce artificially.
"This thing is still one of the main ingredients of Buffy's Brain Refreshing Tonic." Albert explained casually. "It is a potion with great effect. After taking it, it can significantly enhance the brain power of the user. It is a potion specially used for cheating in exams. Of course, this potion is basically not sold on the market, because if you can't brew this potion correctly, Seriously injures those who take it, and is as rare as Felicia."
"By the way, the recipe for Buffy's Brain Refreshing Potion is: Rune Snake Egg, Dragon Claw Powder, Jumping Toadstool and Frog's Brain." Albert muttered, "Well, the material looks disgusting. .”
"Baffy Brain Refreshing Potion? What is that?" George had no idea what the Buffy Brain Refreshing Potion Albert was talking about.
"It's a medicine that can make you smarter." Albert explained simply: "After drinking it, you will become very smart, and even after the effect of the medicine ends, your brain's thinking will be slightly enhanced."
"Good stuff!" Fred's eyes lit up.
"Of course it's a good thing, but that kind of thing is also difficult to prepare. Once the preparation is wrong, the potion will be harmful to the brain." Albert explained, "By the way, for a thing as big as your hand, it takes three Garen."
"Three Galleons?" Fred and George's eyes lit up. They never thought that jumping toadstools would be so valuable.
"You know it very well." Lee Jordan couldn't help complaining, "Are you planning to configure Buffy Brain Booster to make money, I think those rich guys will definitely be willing to pay for it?"
"You guessed it." Albert looked at Lee Jordan in feigned shock.
Actually, it’s not a joke.
If I didn't have this idea a while ago, I already have it now, because Albert found that there were two more panel tasks on his task panel.
Open your mind
You found a potion that makes you smarter, why not try brewing it? Although you are already smart enough, taking Buffy Brain Booster will make you smarter.
Reward: 1000 experience points, 1 skill point, active thinking skills.
Black Market Merchant
Baffy Brain Refreshing Potion is one of the potions that the Ministry of Magic prohibits private configuration and use. Buffy Brain Refreshing Potion is sold to Hogwarts students to help them better pass the difficult exams.
Reward: 500 experience, 1 skill point, 100 galleons.
"Can you make Buffy Brain Refreshing Potion?" Fred asked curiously.
"Of course not, I'm just kidding."
"If you believe in you, there will be ghosts." The three of them rolled their eyes at Albert in unison.
"Do you think there are jumping toadstools in the Forbidden Forest?" Fred asked suddenly.
"There should be!" Albert replied after thinking for a while, "This season happens to be the time when the jumping toadstools multiply, but it is not easy to find the jumping toadstools.
Moreover, you also need to know how to save them, and most importantly, even if you find them, who are you going to sell them to? "
"This?" The three of them were stunned for a moment.
Yeah, who are you selling things to?
It must be able to sell, and then it can be regarded as making money. It's no use getting jumping toadstools if you can't sell them.
A longer silence.
Yes, this is the most important thing.
If the medicinal materials can be processed into finished products, the price will only be higher.
Turning the jumping toadstool into the finished product of Buffy's Brain Refreshing Potion, he believes that a bunch of fifth and seventh graders will rush to buy Buffy's Brain Refreshing Potion.
"How about giving it a try?" Albert asked tentatively, looking at the people around him.
"Try what?"
"Make Buffy Brain Refreshing Potion." Albert whispered, "However, before that, we need to get the jumping toadstool first."
"That's a good idea. We believe in your talent in potions." Fred agreed with both hands. He liked Albert leading them to make money.
The last time the minister was elected, all three of them regretted it to death.
"As long as we do a little research, we should be able to create Buffy's Brain Refreshing Potion." Lee Jordan also had great confidence in Albert.
"But how can I get other materials?" George asked, "Buy them with money?"
"Rune snake eggs can't be bought." Albert shook his head and said, "It's a prohibited item. It can only be found on the black market, but it's easy to be deceived by fakes."
"Snape's private vault?" Fred suggested. This suggestion is downright audacious.
"Hush!" Albert signaled them not to talk about this matter here, especially wanting to break into Snape's private vault, he simply didn't want to live.
"That's a good idea." Li Qiaodan smiled maliciously, "However, the difficulty is a bit high."
"I don't think we will fail." Fred said.
In fact, Fred and the others believed that Albert could succeed. They all knew that Albert also had high attainments in potions, and he also had a relationship with the famous potion master Hetok Dagworth. Correspondence.
This undoubtedly brought confidence to several people. No way, they all know that Albert never does meaningless things, let alone losing money.
Moreover, he has the ability and start-up capital.
