Chapter 016: Boss Bai
"Only on the first day we were able to do a good shopping, and the next two days were almost safe, and I originally wanted to try my luck in the store with a green sign, but the other party kicked us out, and then I didn't even let the door in!"
"So!" K sneered a few times, "You'd better pray that the harvest you have reported will satisfy me, otherwise I don't mind beating you up here, I haven't had a place to spill the anger I have been holding back for the past two days!" She twisted her hands vigorously as she slowly turned her neck with an eager expression.
"In the past 72 hours, I have walked a total of 327 shops and met 274 races, including 16 empty tribes and 87 people; 65 aquariums, 247 people; There are 193 races left, a total of 1,034 people; Combined, a total of 483 genres were encountered. Catherine turned the parchment that had finally been written and pushed it in front of K.
"The direct economic harvest is a total of 5,674 Galleons, and medicinal herbs and other things are equivalent to nearly 10,000 magic coins, as for the experience gained from the exchange, there is no way to count it at present, so I can only wait until I return to the UK and then slowly look through the memory summary." She shrugged helplessly.
Harry's glasses had fallen to the floor, and his mouth was big enough to fit an ostrich egg; Dobby's face was full of excitement, and his hands trembled in front of his chest; But K slapped the table directly and shouted, "No! I couldn't help it. β
As soon as K's hand was forced, her body turned over the table and threw herself towards the red-haired girl, Catherine stepped a little at her feet, and retreated with the chair, her upper body swayed left and right, and she avoided the purple-haired girl's attacks again and again, until the chair hit the guest behind her, and there was no way to retreat, she bounced off the chair, and responded seriously at first.
The fists and feet of the two smashed a lot of tables, chairs and chairs, scaring many customers into panic, but they didn't really hurt anyone, and the store didn't stop it, but came forward to open a gambling game, and Snape, who had been bowing his head to liquidate, actually bounced a gold coin after hearing the store's shout, and threw it on the bet of "one party automatically admits defeat".
Before Harry could accept why the world had become so strange, he heard K shout, "No fight!" You didn't even have a wand, you were just kidding me. With that, she rolled back to her seat, grabbed the food on the table, and began to eat.
Catherine flicked her wand, repaired the broken thing, smiled and apologized, then pulled back to her chair, picked up the parchment, and continued to write.
After the dealer had settled everyone's bets, he respectfully placed a small bag of Galleons next to Snape, but he didn't say a word.
"Dobby, was I dazzled just now?" Harry looked at the house-elf in disbelief, he had a hard time accepting what he had seen, and within 30 seconds of the chaos was over, he was back to normal.
"Harry, why haven't you seen the essence of this place for three days?" K put his arms around his neck and pointed to the street outside the glass window, "This is a place where money reigns supreme, as long as there is something of interest, everyone will flock to it, and as for the unprofitable thing, no matter how miserable and pitiful you are, you will not get the slightest sympathy." β
"This is actually the essence of this world, but it is infinitely expanded here, because the people here don't believe in false things like fame and honor, they only believe in these real gold coins."
A Galleon was bounced high, instantly attracting countless greedy glances.
"Here, you can be a millionaire in an instant, or you can be destitute in an instant, this is Fifth Avenue, this is New York." K reached out and grabbed the gold coin, placing it in front of Harry's eyes.
"No wonder there is a saying: 'If you love someone, take them to New York; Hate a man and take him to New York too. Because it is both heaven and hell. Harry held the Coke glass and looked out the window.
K and Catherine looked at each other and smiled.
The seeds have finally been planted, and now all you need to do is remember to water and fertilize them.
"Why didn't you even buy a little of the liquid grass?" Snape spoke suddenly, but his head still didn't rise.
"I was robbed as soon as I went out after buying, and when I went back to ask, the boss said that it was out of stock." K shrugged his shoulders without the slightest hint of guilt.
"When I go to the Ministry of Magic later, I'm going to pay a visit to the white boss, he should have a channel to get the supply." Catherine stopped her pen and lifted her head to stretch the muscles in her neck.
"Humph!" Snape snorted coldly, and quickly settled the rest of the stuff back.
When K and Harry saw their stance, they hurriedly rushed to fill their stomachs, because Catherine and Snape were definitely workaholics, and one task would definitely follow the next, without the slightest idea of resting and waiting, which had happened many times during their trip to the United States.
Originally, Catherine would have worried about Harry's ability to keep up with herself, but since K started pointing and Dobby arrived in time, she completely lost that worry.
She is very similar to K's strength, she must be able to lead Harry to follow her footsteps, and no matter how bad it is, there is Dobby's cheat, so Catherine is finally able to let go and handle everything at full speed, and this speed, only the distracted Snape can follow.
It also made Harry deeply understand that the gap between himself and Catherine is definitely greater than the distance from the summit of Mount Everest to the bottom of the Mariana Trench, and this gap does not depend on the angle of his head, but on his eyesight, his own strength.
So after realizing how bad his abilities were, Harry instinctively quickened his pace so as not to be left further behind by Catherine.
After filling their stomachs and packing up their things, they went to the shop of the middle-aged man in the white robe, and after informing them of their intentions, the clerk immediately took them to the living room with great gratitude.
This is a hall full of Chinese charm, carved beams and painted columns, bonsai jade, veil bead curtains, musk swirling, the center of the hall is two rows of Taishi chairs, the innermost end is a Hu bed, the boss surnamed Bai is lying on it with his eyes closed, surrounded by four bewitching beauties, one fanning, one rubbing shoulders, one beating legs, one feeding fruits, extremely extravagant.
Seeing a guest come in, the woman who rubbed her shoulders immediately lowered her head and whispered a few times in Boss Bai's ear, Boss Bai immediately opened her eyes and said with a smile in Chinese: "Little girl, the harvest in the past three days is not small!" Your name has spread all over Fifth Street, and the next time you come, no one will dare to provoke you, even if I and Turtle Lao are not there. β
"Thanks to Boss Bai's promotion!" Catherine half-bowed and replied without humility or arrogance, "Although I have gained a lot of knowledge this time, I haven't prepared the things I want to buy yet, I wonder if Boss Bai can help?" β
"I'm a businessman, so of course I won't go unsold! Have a seat! Boss Bai sat up straight and said in English, and the four beauties automatically left his side and walked into the small doors on both sides.
"Thank you!" Catherine took Harry's hand and led him to the Boss White's right chair to sit down, Snape and K nodded their thanks to the owner before going to the Boss White's left chair to sit down, while Dobby walked up behind Catherine and Harry very consciously.
"Although I've heard a lot of things related to you in the past few days, I haven't met a few serious people yet." As soon as Boss Bai was about to talk about business, he showed an amiable smile on his face, and there was no shelf just now, and the four beauties also walked out of the small doors on both sides, each holding a tray in their hands, or holding tea cups, or tea snacks.
"My name is Catherine, a third-year student at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry." Catherine smiled and gave a brief introduction, "Professor Snape, Hogwarts' Potions teacher; K, my friend; Harry, my classmate; The other one is Dobby. β
Boss Bai nodded to the other three very kindly, and when he looked at Dobby, he couldn't help but be surprised: "It's the first time I've seen the house-elves of the Free Contract, and it should be fine to stay in the UK, but it's better to be careful when you go outside, some people don't care about those unwritten agreements." β
Dobby was stunned for a moment, his body couldn't help but start to tremble violently, he was no longer as ignorant as he was a year ago, he naturally knew very well how bad the house-elf was at the moment, if there was no Domes agreement, he would be a piece of fish to be slaughtered, so Catherine didn't take him to Brazil at first.
Until an accident happened halfway, Snape had to go back to England in person to bring Dobby over to help, but after he returned to normal, no one dared to let him go back alone, so he had to stay by Harry's side all the time, borrowing Harry's wizarding identity to protect him, but there were still many people on Fifth Street who wanted to shoot at him, but fortunately, those who dared to make a reckless move were blocked by K.
The house-elves are such low-level elves, Boss Bai really didn't pay attention to them, and it was already for Catherine's face to be able to remind them, so as soon as he finished speaking, he immediately looked at Harry.
"The kid's face seems to be a fateful person, but-" Boss Bai looked at Catherine meaningfully, "I'm afraid it's not conducive to his growth if you help like this!" β
"This time I brought him out to increase his knowledge." Catherine's words caused Harry to immediately blush and bow his head.
Boss Bai raised his eyebrows, looked at K, and some positive colors suddenly appeared on his face: "Miss Kate, Elder Turtle asked me to tell you that you can go to Los Angeles when you have time, there are clues you want." β
K's eyes lit up, and he nodded slightly, "Thank you!" It's just that there is no trace of gratitude on his face, but Boss Bai is not annoyed, but immediately looks away.
"Is Mr. Snape the youngest Potions Master, Severus Snape?" Boss Bai's tone was a little more flattering.
βYes!β Snape's tone was still cold.
"I wonder if the master has developed any new drugs recently?" Boss Bai's expression became a little flattering.
βNoοΌtime!β Snape glared at K and Harry, who had to stay here and stare at the little ones during the summer vacation, but thankfully New York didn't disappoint him, and the trip to Latin America made him quite rewarding.
