Preparing to Cause Trouble
After all, Percy did not agree to lend the pet Scabbers to Albert, even if Fred said that he would give some Sickle as payment for borrowing Scabbers. This was also expected by Albert. Although Weasley family was a bit poor, he was pretty good to his family and pets, so he never thought he would succeed.
"What experiment do you want to do with mice?"
On the way to Herbology class, Li Jordan asked curiously what happened just now, why did Albert need live mice? And the experiment he mentioned is also curious.
"Mandrakes." Albert looked around and made sure no one was around before he explained in a low voice, "I used the magic item I showed you last time to record Mandrakes's cry. I plan to use a mouse to test whether the recorded sound is effective."
George next to him opened his mouth in surprise, while Fred's eyes lit up. When they arrived in front of the greenhouse, he asked aloud, "Test whether Mandrakes's cry can make people fall into coma?"
"Yeah." Albert nodded imperceptibly, with a strange smile on his face, "The sound is hard to guard against, isn't it?"
"If it's effective, you will be tricked by just one accident." Fred put away his umbrella and walked into the greenhouse. Next to him, George was pretending to rub goosebumps on his hands. Li Jordan had a look of astonishment on his face and couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Why would you want to create such a thing?"
"Why?" Albert touched his chin, thought for a while, and then answered seriously, "I always feel that I will use this kind of thing."
"Will it be useful?" The three of them looked at each other, unable to understand Albert's words and his thinking mode.
"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 people might not understand, so he took advantage of Pomona·Professor Sprout hadn't started the class yet, and continued, "You may not need too many Galleon, but you must be eager to have a large amount of Galleon, right? The principle is the same."
"I definitely wish I had a large amount of Galleon." Fred and George looked at each other and couldn't help but murmured in a low voice.
Weasley family is not rich, and the pocket money Arthur can give to his children is very limited.
Soon after, Professor Sprout began to teach everyone about Flobberworm. This mushroom has weak toxins and a weak mind itself. Well, as its name suggests, it also has the ability to jump.
A bit like Bowtruckle, but it's more of a mushroom.
"Hogwarts's professors are indeed very rich." Albert looked at the Flobberworm that was assigned to him and couldn't help but sigh.
"Why do you say that?" George reached out and grabbed Flobberworm, who was about to jump away, and tried to bury it in the soil.
Flobberworm does not live on rotten wood, but in moist soil.
Well, there needs to be animal carcasses in the soil, which means that this mushroom actually eats meat in a sense.
The rainy season is the best breeding season for Flobberworm. Professor Sprout is teaching everyone how to deal with Flobberworm correctly and enable them to reproduce artificially.
"This stuff is also one of the main raw materials of Baruffio's Brain Elixir." Albert explained casually. "It is a very effective medicine. After taking it, it can significantly enhance the brain power of the user. It is a medicine specially designed for cheating in exams. Of course, this medicine is basically not sold on the market, because if the medicine cannot be brewed correctly, the user will be seriously injured. It is as rare as Felix Felicis."
"By the way, the formula of Baruffio's Brain Elixir is: Runespoor eggs, Dragon claw powder, Flobberworm and Frog Brains." Albert muttered, "Okay, the material looks pretty disgusting."
"Baruffio's Brain Elixir? What is that?" George has no idea what Baruffio's Brain Elixir is in Albert's mouth.
"It's a potion that can make you smarter." Albert explained simply, "You will become very smart after drinking it, and even after the effect of the drug ends, your brain's thinking will be slightly enhanced."
"Good stuff!" Fred's eyes lit up.
"Of course it is a good thing, but that kind of thing is also difficult to prepare. Once the preparation is wrong, the medicine will be harmful to the brain." Albert explained, "By the way, for a thing as big as your hand, one requires three Galleon."
"Three Galleon?" Fred and George's eyes shone. They never thought that Flobberworm would be so valuable.
"You know it very well." Li Jordan couldn't help but complain, "Are you planning to configure Baruffio's Brain Elixir to make money? I think those rich guys will definitely be willing to pay for it?"
"You actually guessed it." Albert looked at Li·Jordan in pretense of shock.
Actually, it's not even a joke.
If you didn't have this idea a while ago, you already have it now, because Albert found that there are two more panel tasks on his Task Panel.
Open Mind
You discovered a Potions that can make you smarter, why not try brewing it? Although you are already smart enough, taking Baruffio's Brain Elixir will make you even smarter.
Reward: 1000 experience, 1 point Skill Points, obtain the skill of active thinking.
The black market businessman Baruffio's Brain Elixir is one of the Potions that Ministry of Magic is prohibited from privately configuring and using. He sells Baruffio's Brain Elixir to Hogwarts students to help them better pass the difficult exams.
Reward: 500 experience, 1 point Skill Points, 100 Galleon.
"Can you make Baruffio's Brain Elixir?" Fred asked curiously.
"Of course not, I was just kidding."
"You are the only one who believes in you." The three of them rolled their eyes at Albert.
"Do you think there is Flobberworm in Forbidden Forest?" Fred suddenly asked.
"There should be!" Albert thought for a while and replied, "This season happens to be when Flobberworm breeds in large numbers. However, it is not easy to find Flobberworm.
Moreover, you also need to know how to preserve 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 it to?
It must be able to be sold in order to be considered profitable. If it can't be sold, it will be of no use even if you get Flobberworm.
A longer silence.
Yes, that's the most important thing.
If medicinal materials can be processed into finished products, the price will only be higher.
After turning Flobberworm into Baruffio's Brain Elixir, he believed that a bunch of fifth- and seventh-grade students would rush to buy Baruffio's Brain Elixir.
"How about giving it a try?" Albert looked at the people around him and asked tentatively.
"Try what?"
"Make Baruffio's Brain Elixir." Albert whispered, "However, before that, we need to get Flobberworm first."
"This is a good idea. We believe that with your talent on Potions." Fred raised his hands in agreement. He likes Albert to lead them to make money.
All three of them regretted choosing Minister last time.
"With a little research, we should be able to create Baruffio's Brain Elixir." Li Jordan is also very confident in Albert.
"But how to get other materials?" George asked, "Purchase money to buy them?"
"Runespoor eggs can't buy it." Albert shook his head and said, "That is a prohibited item. It can only be found on the black market, but it is easy to be deceived by fakes."
"Snape's private treasury?" Fred suggested. This suggestion is simply audacious.
"Shh!" Albert signaled them not to talk about this matter here, especially if they wanted to break into Snape's private treasury, they simply didn't want to live anymore.
"This is a good idea." Lee Jordan laughed maliciously, "However, the difficulty is a bit high."
"I think we won't fail." Fred said.
In fact, several people at Fred believed that Albert could succeed. They all knew that Albert also had high attainments in Potions, and also had correspondence with the famous Potions Master Hertok·Dagworth.
This undoubtedly brought confidence to several people. There is no way, they all know that Albert never does anything meaningless, let alone a loss-making business.
Moreover, he has the ability and the start-up capital.
