Chapter 8 - Chapter 8 Collecting Broomsticks: Rewarding The Magic Of Flying!

After entering Diagon Alley, Kyle said goodbye to Harry and Hagrid.Before leaving, Harry looked at Kyle eagerly, with particularly reluctant eyes.Although they had only been in contact for a short time, Harry felt the warmth of friendship from Kyle, which was exactly what he had longed for since he was a child.Hagrid patted Harry on the shoulder and comforted him: "You can meet when school starts. This guy is really good."…Kyle did not go directly to Flourishes and Blotts Bookstore but walked around first.There are many interesting shops in Diagon Alley. Kyle first went to the Florin Cold Drink Shop to buy ice cream and then went to the Jumping Magic Joke Shop to buy a few prank products, but none of them triggered system rewards.When passing by the Quidditch boutique, he suddenly stopped in his tracks.There is no doubt that the broomstick must also be considered a collectible.However, flying broomsticks are basically relatively expensive. Kyle only has more than a thousand gold galleons in his pocket now."How much does a broom cost in the original book? The Firebolt seems to cost 500 gold galleons, but it hasn't been put on the market yet. The brooms here shouldn't be that expensive, right?"Thinking of this, Kyle made up his mind to spend a lot of money to buy a broom. He gently opened the glass door and walked into the Quidditch boutique."Welcome." A fat middle-aged wizard came over from behind the counter, "Sir, what are you going to buy?"The clerk was smiling and did not neglect Kyle just because he was a child."I want to buy a broom. Can you recommend one for me?"The clerk said with a smile: "If you ask me to recommend, then I definitely recommend you to buy the latest Nimbus 2000.It is definitely the best flying broomstick this year.Of course, you are still young, and it is suitable for a beginner like you.It may be too fast for scholars, and some are difficult to control.Maybe you can buy a Sweeping Seven Stars as a practice tool first.It is safe, reliable, and fast, and is very suitable for little wizards.Oh, this is just my little one Suggestions, it's up to you to decide how to choose."Kyle asked again: "What about the selling prices of these two products?""The Nimbus 2000 costs five hundred gold galleons, while the seven-star sweep only costs two hundred gold galleons." The clerk still kept smiling."So expensive?" Kyle was a little surprised. He had to know that the Firebolt, which was launched two years later, only cost 500 gold galleons.But when he thought about it carefully, he felt that this was normal.For some well-known mobile phone flagship products in the past, each generation had better performance than the previous generation, but there was not much difference in price when it was first launched.The Nimbus 2000 may indeed be inferior to the Firebolt in terms of performance, but this does not affect the merchants setting the same price for them because, at this time when the Firebolt was not on the market, consumers had no choice."Aha!" The clerk smiled and pointed at Nimbus 2000. "It's expensive for a reason. It's the fastest broomstick. No Quidditch player doesn't like it."Kyle thought for a while and said, "Give me a handful of Sweeping Seven Stars first."He has decided to buy one broomstick from all series, but he only has more than a thousand gold galleons. It is impossible to spend all his wealth on buying a flying broomstick, so he can only buy one first.For a collector, different versions of similar items all have a collection value, the only difference is the size of the collection value.The clerk looked at Kyle in surprise. He obviously didn't expect the little wizard in front of him to be so straightforward. He spent the two hundred gold galleons as he pleased without blinking an eye."This Sweeping Seven Stars is yours. Thank you for your patronage. I wish you a happy life."Kyle took what the clerk handed over, wrapped it tightly, and swept the seven stars, then he paid and left happily.[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the excellent collection "Sweeping Seven Stars" and the reward "Elementary Flying Thaumaturgy". ]Elementary flying magic: Use magic power to turn into mist to lift your body and fly at extremely fast speeds."Huh? This flying magic can actually fly without a broom?"Kyle was surprised. He thought that collecting brooms would reward broom-driving skills, but he didn't expect that the actual rewards would be more powerful than he expected.This is a physical flight spell!You can fly without a broom, in the original books only Voldemort and Snape can do it.Now there is one more, and it is a young wizard who is about to enter Hogwarts.Flying thaumaturgy does not require chanting spells or using any tools. It only requires mobilizing magic power in a specific way to form a magic mist that isolates gravity and resistance, and then you can fly however you want.The principle is very complicated and there is no need to explain it too clearly.Kyle couldn't wait to experience the joy of flying, but the current conditions obviously did not allow him to be arrogant, so he could only suppress his excitement and get down to business."Should I also buy Nimbus 2000? If I buy another broom, will there be another way to fly? Or should I upgrade my flying thaumaturgy?"Either way is very exciting, but Kyle thought about it carefully and thought that we should solve the problem first, and then consider the good and bad issues.If you already possess the Flying Thaumaturgy, even if you don't buy a broomstick, you can still improve the level of the Flying Thaumaturgy through exercise.So now it's more important to get more collectibles as quickly as possible so you can get more abilities.So, Kyle walked towards Flourishes and Blotts Bookstore as planned.
