Harry Potter's Catastrophe
Chapter 284: Zoo Incident (Part 2)
"Hey, I guess it seems that maybe the animal trafficking organization has targeted the zoo, and then stolen all the beasts in the zoo. They used these beasts to make huge profits." Carney's brainstorming began.
Because stealing animals from the zoo, and specifically stealing wild beasts, is really unbelievable, and there must be some ulterior motive.
"What you are saying is really outrageous. How can animals in the zoo be so profitable?" Tenga Tans didn't understand how ordinary animals in the Muggle world could be so profitable.
"Maybe, some people like to drink wine with lion and tiger whips, and the fur is worth a lot of money." Carney listed several ways to make money.
"What are lion whips and tiger whips? Their tails?" Claudia Dove asked.
"They are reproductive organs," Falls Lucci said expressionlessly, "I have a bottle of tiger penis wine at home, it belongs to my father."
"Eh~" Claudia Dove immediately moved away from them and made a horrified expression.
"What effect does that thing have? It doesn't taste good when soaked in wine." Tenga Tans said.
"Does anyone really drink wine made from that thing?" Luden Fajan also asked.
"That stuff is really good. It's for aphrodisiacs. It's expensive. I bought a lot of it. The more expensive it is, the better it is." Pepper Addis said of course. Their wealthy family naturally knew this.
"It has such a miraculous effect, Fowles, I will go to your house when I have time. Don't get me wrong, I just went to discuss that with Fowles. Are you really doing that, a lot of that, right? Luden Fajan said seriously.
They arrived at the door, and it was obviously what they expected. A lot of people were squeezing to go out. Even when they walked back slowly, there were still people at the door, and everyone was queuing up to go out.
"Everyone, I'm very sorry. It was just a little joke played by our zoo. There were no wild beasts running out. They were just not in the zoo. The wild beasts had all gone to get vaccinated. The employees below took it upon themselves to put some high-quality imitation props in the zoo. We're inside, don't panic," a man in a suit on a car shouted with a loudspeaker.
"That employee has been fired. Everyone, this is a false alarm."
"Don't worry, everyone, the staff has cleared away all the props. Although there are no wild beasts to see, elephants, giraffes, and rhinos are also features of our zoo." The manager in a suit continued, "People leaving from the right Go, tourists who want to continue watching can continue, please do not block the entrance.”
A small number of people stayed and continued to browse, but most people chose to leave. However, it was impossible to refund the tickets, and the fat man who was heckled at the beginning was gone.
"We want a refund!" someone shouted as they left the venue, and others shouted after them as they left.
"Everyone, I'm really sorry for what happened today, but tickets are non-refundable. You can continue to watch. We will give you a bottle of drink. We hope you will understand."
Carney and the others didn't bother to listen to the manager's reasoning, so they lined up and left the zoo without taking any drinks.
"Where to go next." Pepper Addis looked at the road with her hands on her hips.
"Pet shop!" Claudia Dove said immediately.
"No, I've already heard about you once. Now let's change one of us." Luden Fajan said, "Go to the video game city and finally come out to play."
"Yes, and we were halfway through the zoo, and this weird thing happened, so I said the zoo is not interesting." Pepper Addis said, "I was tired of seeing it when I was a kid, and I didn't want to see it for a long time. Go to the arcade."
"We don't know where the pet shop is, and if you want to buy pets, you can go to Wizard Street to buy them. It's better than cats in the Muggle world," Carney said.
"Okay, okay! Then listen to Carney. You guys can lead the way. I didn't remember the location of the video game city." Clodia Dove thought about it and it was true. When she went back, she looked for a pet shop in the wizarding world. Easier to find.
"You can tell just by looking at the map. If you need to remember anything, I'll do it!" Pepper Addis took the map and started to lead the way.
"It's too far. We have to take a taxi there." Pepper Addis looked at the map. The zoo and the arcade were too far away. She didn't know how long it would take to get there by walking.
The zoo is on the edge of the city, and the arcade city is on the commercial street in the city center. They can't do it on foot. Even walking through the wizarding world takes a long time, and there are no shortcuts.
Then they hailed two taxis and set off towards the arcade city. Although the taxis were not as fast as broomsticks, they were not slow either. They arrived in the city in less than half an hour.
However, driving is not allowed in the commercial street, so they can only get off the bus outside and walk in to find video games.
"Although this car is not as fast as a broomstick, it is quiet and warm inside." Luden Fajan felt the cold wind outside when he got out of the car.
"Is there a heater in the car? What is its structure?" Falls Lucci asked.
"Just buy one and take it apart to study. It's not expensive. It only costs a few hundred gold galleons." Pepper Addis naturally knew this after buying one.
"Forget it, whatever you use is enough, it will have the same effect." Falls Luqi gave up immediately after hearing the price.
The commercial street is much more prosperous. There are shops everywhere, not only downstairs, but also upstairs, and upstairs. They were overwhelmed by what they saw and couldn't help but look for it. It took them a while to find it.
"Why isn't the Wizarding World so prosperous? Look, that building is so tall! It's all made of glass."
The building was full of various video game shops. Passers-by A, B, and C immediately ran to the front desk to exchange game coins. Although they did not understand many things in the Muggle world, they were still very interested in playing with them.
After a while, they exchanged a bunch of game coins. Each of them had a small basket full of game coins to play on one of the game machines. Fowles Lucci on the side also exchanged a small basket of game coins.
"Kani, aren't you going to play?" Claudia Dove didn't like playing video games, but watched them play from the sidelines. Seeing that Kani was also watching, she had no intention of playing.
"Let me see, watching other people play is much more interesting than playing by yourself." Carney said, but he was thinking otherwise. He was happy to see others getting angry while playing games, especially when vulgar words were blurted out.
In my previous life, I was deeply poisoned by major games, so I'd better forget it in this life. Moreover, these video games now are ordinary games, no different from small games like 4399, and there is no such thing as an account.
What's more, Carney is already such an adult, and his heart is no longer in the game. Power and money are now what he pursues.
