Chapter 630: Daily Life - Christmas Carnival (1) Who said I wasn't a business genius?
It was snowing in Magnolia, and the air was getting colder.
The streets are covered in silver and enchanting, and the cold wind constantly blows the town, making a 'whine' sound.
Early in the morning, Kira consciously crawled out of the bed, washed and dressed for breakfast, and scrambled for more than half an hour before going downstairs.
Christmas is a very important holiday even in this world.
As the last grand festival of the year, young men and women go shopping, watch movies, give flowers, confess, propose, etc., are all common operations.
But the dates are all someone else's, and they have nothing to do with Kira, a single aristocrat.
If you have to make a connection, it is that these places for confession, such as movie theaters and amusement parks, have his shares.
】
This year's Magnolia held a 'Christmas Carnival'.
This carnival encompasses the most prosperous areas of the town, including the central street, central park, amusement park, water park, cinema, dining street, Caldia Cathedral, and more.
This event not only caused a stir among the residents of Magnolia, but also attracted people from several surrounding towns to visit, and everyone had a smile full of joy on their faces.
Only the mayor tearfully bought a two-story villa.
The snow has not melted for several days, and now there is still a layer of snow on the ground, but fortunately, the weather is now clear, and the main area of the carnival has been cleaned, and it is basically unimpeded.
In order to make a big profit in this Christmas carnival, the mayor of Magnolia has been preparing for a long time and has done a lot of publicity, and the whole event will be held for three days, which will combine several themes such as games, sports, food, love and lucky draws, so that each venue is full of tourists.
Disguised as a roadside vendor, a gray-bearded old man, Kira wanders the streets of Magnolia, intending to experience the feeling of 'a roadside grandfather giving love magic'.
Given his superb camouflage skills, there are few people who can recognize him, even with the blue sky and white sun on his head, unless there is a super powerful magician who has nothing to do to probe the magic of an old man on the side of the road.
"This little brother, buy a flower and give it to the lady next to you!" Kira stopped a pair of young men and women passing in front of her.
"I don't have any money."
The man's face showed obvious impatience, he has seen a lot of this kind of roadside street vendors, always messing around, once they are entangled, it is difficult to get rid of them, and they must leave as quickly as possible!
"My flower is not expensive, only 100j for one branch, and you can get a lottery ticket if you buy a hundred branches!"
The man was about to leave, but when he heard the lottery ticket, he instantly activated the sleeping gambling dog psychology, stopped and turned around and asked, "What lottery ticket?" ”
"All the tourists in today's carnival, no matter where they are, whether it is a restaurant or a ride, or a roadside vendor, as long as they spend a certain amount, they can get lottery tickets, and then go to the lottery center there to claim their prizes."
Kira pointed to a makeshift stall not far away, where several officials were working.
"The number of raffle tickets is limited, and they are scattered throughout the carnival, and can only be obtained by participating in games or spending a certain amount, and each place has a different way of obtaining them, either with strong strength or strong luck."
"In other words, maybe you want to get a raffle ticket from me, and you only need to buy a hundred flowers, but in other places, such as restaurants, it may cost ten times or even twenty times the price!"
When the man heard this, his eyes instantly lit up: Sounds like fun?!
Different ways of getting it mean that the amount of money you need to spend is different.
Now you only need to buy a hundred flowers, or even lower to get a lottery ticket, while others need to spend ten times or twenty times the price of the lottery ticket, so wouldn't you make money by yourself?
There is a certain number of lottery tickets, but the amount of consumption varies from place to place, and there is no limit on the number of times or time you can get them, which means that you ...... First come, first served?
It's a game of speed!
The man's curiosity, competitiveness, and playfulness were aroused at the same time, and his eyes burst into excitement as he looked at Kira: "What are the prizes?" ”
Hooked!
Kira smiled lightly: "There are many prizes, from magic props, travel vouchers to daily necessities, everything is available, you can go over there and have a look!" ”
The man walked to the lottery center with his female companion suspiciously.
Ten minutes later......
"Old man, how many lottery tickets do you have here? I'm going to do it all! ”
Kira had expected it, and rubbed her slender white hands excitedly: "I have a total of 10 lottery tickets here, and you need to buy a thousand flowers, thank you for your patronage!" ”
The money and goods were gone, and Kira left happily with 100,000 J of pocket money.
"Not bad...... The money to play today is there! ”
"A thousand flowers born with magic potions, the total cost is less than 1,000 J, and this one is sold directly for 100,000 J, and the profit is simply against the sky! I'm not a business wizard, who is? ”
Walking down the road with Doflamingo, Kira felt so light that she didn't even notice the pointers of passers-by.
"Ah, look! The old man ......"
"What a strange way to walk! So arrogant! I want to kill him......"
"But the other party is an old man!"
"What old man would walk like that?"
"Even ...... 'Fairy Tail' people are not so arrogant!"
Then you're underestimating us!
Kira smiled lightly, and instead of correcting Passerby A's words, she turned around and walked towards the place where there were now the most people.
"This little brother, do you want to buy a couple bracelet? This is the latest magic prop, you can contact your lover at any time, which is equivalent to a portable communication magic crystal, which is very convenient!
”
"This girl, do you want to buy crystal earrings? It's made of fine white crystal, you see...... How good it matches your temperament! A pair is only 9998j! ”
"This kid, do you want to buy a card? There is a new 'Demon Tail Kill - Dark Guild' series of character cards inside, which is guaranteed to be worth the money, buy it early and enjoy it early! ”
"This ......"
Half a day later, Kira finally dumped everything in her hands.
The tourists who come to Magnolia these days are very rich and willing to spend money, and Kira wants to do their business, so it's much better to go straight to the street than to stay in the store and wait for people to come to the door!
With a pile of gold coins and bills of various denominations in his arms, and a pleasant humming of an unknown minor tune in his mouth, Kira's mood was very relaxed.
"An ordinary festival event, it can be done like this, and I suddenly feel that this mayor is not a wine bag and rice bag who only buys a villa to raise a mistress......
"Anyway, the rest of the time is idle, let's go around and take a look......"
Thinking of this, Kira rolled her eyes and walked towards the nearest competition event to sign up.
Racing cars, which run every two hours, are the most extensive and exciting games in the game!
The track starts in the central square and follows a fixed route and returns to the square after a lap around Magnolia, where the top three finishers receive different prizes and a raffle ticket for the first place.
Kira took off her disguise and signed up to win the race.
It's not that I want any lottery tickets, that thing is the money pit method that the mayor came up with, nothing good, after all, he is also one of the suppliers of the prizes for those lottery activities, so he has those lottery tickets in his hand.
Kira's purpose in participating in this event is to reward the top three, but the prizes for each round are different, and the top three prizes in this round are: a set of magic four-wheel drive drivers, a set of magic toy cars, and a bonus of 20,000 J.
Although these rewards are not much, and they are not a good thing, but the game is about participation, and it is good to have fun.
However, when Kira came to the preparation area, she saw acquaintances at a glance - the red-haired demon and the white-haired angel, the two were facing each other, murderous!
"Oooh!
What a coincidence, Elusa! Mira-chan!
”
Could it be that the long-lost beauty fight is about to start again?
"Kira, you're here too?" When the two of them saw Kira appearing here, they all showed surprised expressions.
"Weird...... Isn't it normal for you to run a mobile vendor and make a lot of money? ”
You really know me......
"Things are sold out, so come and have a good time. Did you come out together? ”
Mira smiled softly at Kira: "No, I came out with Lisanna, and I just happened to meet Elusa around here, so I wanted to have a long-lost game." ”
Boy!
Kira's eyes were full of surprise when she looked at Mira: this woman's competitive spirit has not diminished back then!
