Chapter 111 Magic Shop Renovation Plan
"Why is our store called this?" Ivan turned to look at Asia with a confused expression. The latter looked calm and composed, waving his wand to hang up the signboard, and then explained.
"Don't you think this name is very appropriate? It can't be called a Dark Magic Shop, right? The Ministry of Magic will not allow such a name to pass the registration review."
Ivan looked at Asia suspiciously, thinking that she must have thought of it when she was registering the name of the store, otherwise she wouldn't have been leaving the store's sign in the corner gathering dust until today when she learned that the Ministry of Magic had They may come and review it before hanging it up in a hurry.
"Okay, let's open today!" After finishing, Asia patted some dust on her body and walked into the store again, but her cheeks were slightly red.
She shouldn't have chosen this store name in the first place
In view of this, Asia continued to hand over the responsibility of looking after the store to Ivan, while she hid in the basement. It was said that she was preparing to make some simple magic items in the past few days to fill the store and frustrate the inspectors of the Ministry of Magic.
"Can I take down this sign first?" Ivan sighed, sat down at the counter with a book in his hand, and glanced at the almost empty store.
Rows of shelves were empty, with only a few shelves containing one or two magic items. People who didn't know would probably think the place had been ransacked.
"This can't go on like this." Ivan sighed. This is his own magic shop after all. It seems that he needs to think of a way.
Otherwise, Ivan felt that he might not even be able to afford textbooks. After all, he would need to buy Lockhart's series of books next semester, which were numerous and expensive.
Just as Ivan was thinking this, the system's beep sounded in his mind.
[Ding, the task is being generated]
Ivan was stunned. He didn't expect that the task could be activated at this time. He thought that this function would be turned off when the system was upgraded.
Ivan looked at it curiously.
[Mission: Revitalize Hals' strange magic items store
Mission goal: Pass the Ministry of Magic inspection in one month
Mission rewards: Depends on evaluation.
Mission description: This is a magic shop located in Knockturn Alley. It is now facing the risk of closing. You cannot sit back and watch this happen, so you decided to revitalize this magic shop. Before that, you need to pass the inspection of the Ministry of Magic. 】
"Will the Ministry of Magic's inspection be in a month?" Ivan murmured to himself after glancing at the mission information.
He thought it would be earlier
But think about it, the Ministry of Magic, as an official organization, operates in accordance with procedures. In addition, there are many people with mixed opinions. Before the Ministry of Magic takes any action, the information has long been leaked by internal personnel.
What Doggett got was the gossip revealed by insiders, so he was so uncertain.
Ivan was quite speechless when he thought of this. It was foreseeable that when the Ministry of Magic really started to take action, it would only be able to find some dark wizards with few connections, and those who were capable would have dealt with them long ago.
Just like the old Malfoy who disposed of the Horcrux in advance after getting the news in the original time and space.
Fortunately, this operating mechanism of the Ministry of Magic is the best news for Ivan, which means that he has a month to prepare and pass the review.
Ivan turned his head and glanced in the direction of the basement.
Although Asia said that she would make some simple magic items and put them on the shelves to fool the Ministry of Magic inspectors who came to investigate.
But Ivan felt that it was not very reliable, and the reward for completing the task was based on the evaluation. Ivan was not prepared to get the lowest evaluation.
It would be best to use the Ministry of Magic's censors to promote this magic shop.
This is not impossible, as long as he can come up with some magic props that are enough to make the Ministry of Magic want to purchase them.
Ivan remembered that in the original book, after the Weasley brothers were expelled from school, they came up with a kind of anti-curse hat (anti-curse gloves) in the joke toy store, and the Ministry of Magic purchased a total of five hundred sets!
Maybe he can also come up with something similar, maybe it can impress the members of the Ministry of Magic who come to inspect. In this case, the evaluation will be improved, right?
Thinking of a way to complete the task, Ivan took out a notebook and started scribbling, sorting out his plan to transform Hals' strange magic items store.
In his vision, it would be best to build his own store into a place that caters to both black and white and sells everything.
During normal business hours, it sells ordinary defensive and auxiliary magic items. In private, it sells some extremely dangerous and lethal black magic items. In short, as long as customers need it, they can buy everything they want here!
Ivan even thinks that after his alchemy level improves, he can sell some real alchemy products here.
Maybe the magic potion can be sold!
The next day, Ivan talked about his grand store renovation plan while eating.
Asia just smiled casually and said that he would not think so when he started learning how to make magic items.
"Is it really that difficult?" Ivan asked doubtfully.
"Of course, and it's boring. You'd better be prepared to suffer. In a month, as long as you can learn some basics, I'll be satisfied." Asia hit Ivan's head with a spoon and told him Don't daydream.
"I learn very quickly," Ivan complained silently in his mind, especially when he wanted to be a top student.
After finishing breakfast in a hurry, Asia simply closed the magic shop because she had to teach Ivan how to make magic items. There was nothing to sell anyway.
After entering the workspace in the basement,
Asia did not start teaching immediately, but asked first.
"What do you think a magic release process is like?"
"Use the wand to guide the magic in the body, plus gestures and spells." Ivan thought for a while and replied.
"Yes, it's like a levitating spell." Asia explained as she waved her wand gently and levitated a carving knife.
"Levitating the object is the ultimate effect of the spell, and all we need to do is use gestures and spells to let the magic in the body know that we want the object to levitate."
Ivan nodded. Based on the books he read these days, he probably figured it out.
If the body is a pistol, then magic is the bullet, and spells and gestures are the action of loading the gun and pulling the trigger.
"In other words, magic items replace the functions of gestures and spells. We only need to inject some magic power to directly release magic." Ivan concluded.
"That's right." Aisia was very satisfied with Ivan's understanding. She was worried that Ivan was too young to understand.
Thanks to book friend y337 for the reward of 300 starting coins, and the god-like Aristoleus for the reward of 100 starting coins.
