The Two of Us Were Just Running Our Business Haphazardly

Upon seeing Silan enter, George and Fred immediately jumped up from the sofa, waving their hands.

"Come quick, Silan, we've been waiting for you!"

Silan was startled by their haggard appearance. "Didn't you two sleep last night?"

George and Fred now have messy hair, dark circles under their eyes like panda eyes, and chapped lips.

He looked absolutely disheveled.

"To be precise, we haven't slept for two days." George and Fred simultaneously raised their hands, giving a peace sign.

"Let's not talk about that now, we have something good to show you." Fred said excitedly.

George immediately chimed in, "I dare say, this is our greatest invention to date!"

The two men made way for each other and took out two small models of Hippogriff from a large box, placing them on the table beside them.

These two small Hippogriff models are exquisitely crafted; even the finest details like the beaks and toes are perfectly smooth, and the feathers on their bodies are incredibly detailed and lifelike.

It's clear that a lot of care was put into its production.

After the two Hippogriff were placed on the table, they ran around freely, circled twice, and then bowed to each other.

Silan exclaimed in surprise, "You two can actually make puppets to such a high level of detail?"

Although the wooden puppet bird they made last time was quite exquisite, it was still far inferior to these two Hippogriff.

These two models are almost like miniature living figurines.

"Not only that." George winked and smiled at him, then pulled a few cards from his pocket, took one out, and tapped it with his wand.

"Attack," George commanded.

The card lit up with a red light, and Hippogriff, as if given a command, galloped towards the other.

Upon reaching it, the Hippogriff, having received its command, spread its wings, raised its forepaws, and launched an attack.

Another Hippogriff was attacked, letting out a brief scream as several feathers fell from its body, turning into glittering specks in the air.

Fred also took out a card, lit it with his wand, and the attacked Hippogriff instantly regained its strength.

"I have another Spells card, Incendio." George raised an eyebrow and took out another card, lighting it up.

His Hippogriff suddenly opened its mouth and spewed out a stream of fire.

This flame looks dazzling, but it actually has no temperature. It must have been specially designed to only affect models.

"I just added defense," Fred said nonchalantly.

The flames, upon contact with Fred's Hippogriff, were dispersed to both sides as if blocked by an invisible wall.

The two then showed her a few more cards, looking at Silan expectantly, and asked, "What do you think?"

Silan looked at the two Hippogriff disbelief. "You guys made a Magical Creatures battle game?"

He just mentioned it casually, giving them a direction to explore, but he never expected that George and Fred would actually create magical Pokémon.

"As expected of our little brother, he's so smart!"

George picked up the Hippogriff model from the table and explained, "Our inspiration comes from Wizard's Chess and Dragon model toys."

Fred added, "There are also some rules to follow during battles. For example, action points are limited each turn, and each card has a different action point cost."

"Attack and defense cards only consume one action point, but Spells cards like 'Incendio' require more action points."

"This limits the number of turns each side can make in each round, requiring players to consider their card-playing strategies," George concluded.

"It's really good," Silan remarked.

This game is essentially cricket fighting, and even decades from now, this simple cricket fighting game will not be outdated.

Based on his experience, he knew someone would definitely play it.

"In that respect, you two are indeed undeniably geniuses," Silan said with a smile.

Their rapid development of the puppets to this level was indeed beyond Silan's expectations.

In some ways, George and Fred were truly alchemical geniuses, especially when it came to making toys.

George and Fred said excitedly, "It's all thanks to the Alchemy manual you gave us; we can find the answers to many of our questions in it."

"Also, we've prepared this." Fred took out a banner and handed the other end to George.

The two people each took one side and unfurled the banner.

It reads in oddly shaped red lettering: Prewett and Weasley Joint Trading Company.

George poked his head out from behind the banner and said with a grin, "We're brothers, of course our names should be written together."

Silan couldn't help but smile.

When Sheeran recruited them, he mentioned setting up a Weasley Trading Company for them. Silan was just trying to get them on board; he didn't think much of it at the time.

Unexpectedly, they even added their own names to the list.

True brothers!

George and Fred grinned as they carefully put the banner away. "This will be our shop's sign from now on."

"We're planning to make 50 Hippogriff models first, and sell them as a package at Hogwarts along with command cards. What do you think?" Fred carefully rolled up the banner.

Silan for a moment, then shook his head. "Although this method is feasible, the profit is too small; it's not worthwhile."

"Then what do you suggest? We'll do as you say," George said earnestly.

Neither of them looked down on Silan because he was younger than them.

This young man is exceptionally talented in many things, and recently he even caused a stir by having two Potions Master vying to take him on as their student.

George and Fred naturally respected his opinion.

Silan said slowly, "We should make some regular Magical Creatures models, and their packaging must be exactly the same, without any difference. Mix one Hippogriff model into the dozens of regular models."

"The stats and capabilities of these standard models should be somewhat lower than those of the Hippogriff."

George and Fred exchanged a glance and simultaneously asked, puzzled, "Would they even buy it?"

By including a Hippogriff model among dozens of regular models, the chances of students buying one are greatly reduced.

"Of course." Silan held out the Hippogriff model to the two of them. "We just need to tell them that we've mixed in an even more powerful Hippogriff model. Tell them this is our flagship version, and whether they can buy it depends on luck."

"If someone manages to draw a model with higher stats, it will encourage others to buy it."

"Brilliant, truly brilliant," George exclaimed repeatedly.

Fred, meanwhile, clapped enthusiastically for Silan: "Before we met you, we were practically doing haphazard business!"

"That business acumen is simply genius!"

"That's not all," Silan said with a smile.

"Is there another way?!"

George and Fred's eyes widened, their curiosity piqued by his words, and they urged, "Tell us! Tell us!"

Silan smiled mysteriously, "Our first version will mainly Hippogriff, and later we can release even more powerful Magical Creatures models. That's how we can make a living in the long run."

George and Fred suddenly realized what was going on.

"I see. The initial luck-based extraction expands the market, while subsequent version iterations extend its reach..."

Fred's eyes lit up, and he muttered to himself.

George didn't hold back his praise, "Simply a genius mind! Even a single hair on his head would probably make him smarter Ron."

The two women's gazes towards Silan instantly became fiery, as if they wished they could kiss him on the cheek.

This younger brother is a real gem!

Meeting their gazes, Silan subtly took a step back and continued, "As for the command cards, they can't be sold in bulk either."

"How so? It won't work without a command token."

"We can use the same sales tactics as with the model." Silan smiled brightly, yet with a ruthless heart.
