Chapter 18 Price Difference

"Lu Yunkai? You were also called by Snape to be lectured?"

"Oh? Fred? George? Why are you here?"

Lu Yunkai just walked out of Snape's room and met two red-haired boys.

He had an impression of these two people. They were both Ron's brothers and twins. When he and Harry pushed their luggage to talk to the Weasleys at King's Cross Station, they were joking with their mother.

As for who is Fred and who is George... sometimes their mothers can't tell them apart, let alone Lu Yunkai.

"We are here to hand in the punishment homework." One of the two who couldn't tell whether it was Fred or George smiled and shook his head at Lu Yunkai, "He didn't like us putting slug feces in the crucible in class, which made the room smell, so he punished us to copy books."

"Put it in the crucible... don't you think it smells bad?"

Lu Yunkai just imagined it in his mind and couldn't help laughing.

That smell must be very intoxicating.

"Fortunately, we cast breathing spells on each other, so we can't smell it." The other twin said with a smile.

"You are really amazing."

"What are you holding? The confiscated things?" Twin No. 1 looked at the box in Lu Yunkai's hand.

"No." Lu Yunkai shook his head, "It's the potion materials that Professor Snape gave me as a reward for my performance in class."

"Materials? You were forced to take extra classes? It's better to copy books!" Twin No. 2 laughed.

"That's right." Lu Yunkai nodded with a smile.

"Poor child, here, this is for you!" Twin No. 1 smiled and took out a piece of candy from his arms.

"What is this?"

"A small toy we made ourselves, it's delicious. Especially when you want to skip class, it will be very useful." Twin No. 1 patted Lu Yunkai's shoulder with a smile, and then walked into Snape's room with his twin brother.

"For skipping class?" Lu Yunkai looked at the candy with a strange look on his face.

[One Sickle. Is it for sale? ]

Forget it, it's not necessary for such a small amount of money. Keep the candy for yourself! What if you need to skip class?

Holding a box of materials, Lu Yunkai returned to the dormitory, and then sorted out the materials one by one according to the textbook of potions and the system phantom in front of him.

Then he found something unexpected: although the pile of materials Snape gave him looked messy, after Lu Yunkai's calculation, it was just enough for him to make all the potions in the textbook of potions.

From this point of view, what the eccentric twins said seemed to make sense!

Lu Yunkai sorted from the afternoon until late at night before he finally finished sorting, and even had two breads for dinner.

"Meow, Snape really invested a lot of money!!" Chris, who was squatting on the bed and watching the whole process, sighed, "Snape wants you to spend all your spare time making potions?"

"Is there anything wrong with that?"

"You are a wizard after all, meow, why do you make potions every day? Isn't it better to wave your wand more?" Chris shook her cat head, "And you have to spend more time with your friends!"

"Don't worry! Even if I am a loner, I will not fall into the pit of dark magic." Lu Yunkai smiled and shook his head, "But you are right, my spells class is indeed more problematic... Well, the defense against the dark arts is also a bit off. That's right! Now that you mention it, all my subjects that require the use of the wand seem to be average."

"Not just average, it's terrible."

"It may also be a problem with the wand?" Lu Yunkai smiled and looked at Chris.

"Meow? Jesse spent four years to get this wand! It's definitely a good thing, but you don't know how to use it!"

"Yeah, it's a good thing for stealing money."

"Meow!" Chris was angry and ignored Lu Yunkai, turning around and jumping out of the room.

"Come on today, don't lose to Filch's cat again!"

Lu Yunkai shouted at Chris's back with a smile, then took a set of materials for treating scabies potion and a full set of tools and came to the common room.

There were many people in the common room, some were chatting, some were studying, and Lu Yunkai found an empty corner, set up a crucible and a mortar, and planned to start making the first potion.

Just then, Malfoy, who had been in the common room, came over and seemed to be in a good mood.

"Have you sorted it out? I heard that Professor Snape rewarded you with a lot of potion materials?"

"All homework! Do you think it's given to me for free?" Lu Yunkai sighed deeply.

"Homework?"

"Yes! All the materials for the potions in the entire Potions textbook, one copy each... Although it's not stated explicitly, what do you think it means?"

"This..." Malfoy looked strange.

He wanted to laugh, but he was too embarrassed to laugh.

"Isn't this it! Start doing your homework!" Lu Yunkai sighed and pointed at the materials and tools in front of him.

"Thank you for your hard work." Malfoy held back his laughter and left, but Lu Yunkai didn't mind.

This time he wanted to try the potion bottle without the red crystal to see what level of potion he could make with his real level.

So, he was particularly dedicated.

Lu Yunkai was familiar with the potions he had made in class, but after more than half an hour of careful processing, the finished product was not ideal.

[Level 3 scabies treatment potion, one Sickle. Sell? ]

Looking at the shadow flashing in front of him and the potion in his hand, Lu Yunkai was still quite frustrated.

Helplessly, he poured the potion into the red crystal bottle, and in an instant.

[Level 1 scabies treatment potion, one Galleon. Sell? ]

It's a pity that there are no low-level potions for sale in the system! Otherwise, Lu Yunkai would use the potion bottle to brush the system balance, and he could get a set of Merlin equipment in a few minutes?

"Alas, such a crystal bottle is only sold for 300 gold Galleons, it's cheap!" Lu Yunkai sighed while pouring the potion back into the previous ordinary potion bottle.

It's still a level 1 potion.

Such a powerful potion bottle is only sold for 300 gold Galleons? A necklace that helps sleep can be exchanged for a set of such potion bottles?

Is this reasonable? What's wrong with this world? Can it still be better?

With puzzlement and helpless fatigue, Lu Yunkai packed up his tools and returned to the dormitory.

Blaise was already lying on the bed, holding tomorrow's textbook in his hand.

"Yunkai? What's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?" Blaise glanced at the tired Lu Yunkai, and seemed a little worried.

"It's okay. I'm just a little tired." Lu Yunkai forced a smile.

"Well, I heard from Malfoy that Professor Snape assigned you a lot of potions homework?"

"Yes!"

"You are obviously thinking about the college! The professor shouldn't treat you like this." Blaise spoke up for Lu Yunkai.

"It's nothing, actually." Lu Yunkai smiled. "The professor gave me so many materials, which is equivalent to letting me practice potion making for free."

"That's right. Potion making is still quite popular." Blaise nodded. "My mother said that knowing a potion expert is a very meaningful thing... Well, it seems that I am really lucky to be assigned to the same dormitory with you!"

"Well, I like to hear that!" Lu Yunkai finally smiled. "But why don't the potion making utensils seem to be very expensive? I heard that some potion vessels with special functions seem to be quite cheap..."

"Who said that! Potion utensils are so expensive!" Blaise shook his head. "I remember it very clearly. My mother told me that she spent 400,000 Galleons to buy a bottle of potion from a potion master. She bought a crucible that was said to be able to boil the potion without getting mushy and gave it to that person. Only then did she buy the potion."

"400,000?" Lu Yunkai's eyelids jumped.

[Cook-resistant crucible, 100 Galleons, do you want to buy it? 】

A shadow flashed.

Lu Yunkai's eyelids began to twitch wildly.

He understood.

The problem was not with this world.

It was with his system...
