Chapter 493 A Visitor (seeking a monthly ticket)

The layout of the next room is exactly the same as that of Mr. Pony’s studio, but there is a slight difference, that is, the material cabinet is not open like the next door, but a closed whole. There is a coin slot in the lower left corner. Below the coin port is the material export.

There is also a booklet on the workbench, which records the code and price of each material in detail. The specific operation is that Tom selects the material, then enters the code and puts a coin in the coin slot of the cabinet, and finally takes out the material—exactly the same as a Muggle vending machine.

And like the vending machines, the items inside are a little more expensive than what is sold in the market...

Tom felt as if he had been tricked into something.

If Mr. Pony wants to pay any uniform fees, training fees or deposits himself, he will run away. Tom made a decision in his heart.

Fortunately, Pony didn't continue to show off, and he even gave Tom a set of carving tools for free.

"Okay, I'll go up to look at the store first, so you can familiarize yourself with the environment here." Mr. Pony left the studio, and Tom was the only one left in the room.

Tom was about to do something when there was a click, and the gas lamp on the wall went out. Unlike the neighbor next door, the meter here did not give advance warning.

Reflexively, Tom reached for the valve and turned the gas light switch. The gas stove sounded the same, but the gas lamp did not light up.

Tom patted his head, look at my memory! He found the gas meter in the dark, took a penny out of his pocket, and slipped it into it.

With a jingle, the coin made a crisp sound, making an intimate contact with the ground. The coin leaked out directly.

Tom: ...

This meter doesn't want the currency of the magic world, does it?

Wanting to try it out, Tom threw in a copper Knut, and this time there was a sound of gears turning in the meter.

Gan! Tom never expected that Mr. Pony was waiting for him here! Does this guy like taking advantage of others so much? He is an alchemist, so short of money?

Mr. Pony is not short of money, and his hobby of taking advantage is considered a little quirk of his. In the alchemist profession, there are many people with eccentricities, and Pony is quite normal.

Tom turned on the gas lamp as if constipated, and looked at the bright room, and he felt out of breath.

But it's not a big problem... Pony has Pony's strategy, and he, Tom Yoddle, also has his own methods. Let's wait and see.

Tom tidied up the studio quickly, then turned off the wall light and left the room.

In the next day, Pony's alchemy workshop was not open, and Tom even had time to carve a fox mask for himself.

Mr. Pony was not in a hurry. He had a sumptuous lunch with Tom at noon. After eating, he told Tom to take a look at the store and then went to the basement to sleep. At five o'clock in the afternoon, he showed up in the store on time, and said sleepily that he could get off work.

Seeing his leisurely and contented appearance, no one would have guessed that the sales volume of this store was zero all day today.

Tom returned to Diagon Alley, and Hermione was already waiting for him at the entrance of the alley.

"Have you found the job you want?" She looked very happy.

Tom told her about what happened in Pony's alchemy workshop.

"Why does this store sound so unreliable... Can you really make money?" Hermione was full of suspicion, but she cared more about another thing than money.

"That shop is in Knockturn Alley! Why didn't you tell me earlier?" After asking the location of the alchemy workshop, Hermione immediately frowned.

"That's Knockturn Alley, a place where dark wizards gather, how dare you find a part-time job there? Immediately, immediately, resign—there are so many jobs in Diagon Alley!" Hermione's impression of Knockturn Alley was extremely bad.

Tom spread his hands, indicating that Knockturn Alley was actually not as bad as Hermione thought—the Ministry of Magic had just been cleaned up, and it was very clean now.

Facing Tom's attitude, Hermione had nothing to do. Subconsciously, she wanted to write a letter to Dumbledore or Professor Flitwick, but she felt that there was a high probability that they would not interfere. All of a sudden, she found that she had no way to restrain Tom.

"It's up to you!" In the end, she could only stomp her feet fiercely. She can't control Tom anymore!

Turns out, Knockturn Alley isn't all that dangerous. Those unstable factors in the alley had been sent to Azkaban by Minister Burns, and they couldn't come back for a while, so Tom's part-time trip to Knockturn Alley went smoothly.

Of course, this success means that no one has come to trouble him so far. As for the alchemy workshop, I didn't make a single business.

Not many people came to the alchemy workshop. Even if there were guests, they would call Mr. Pony to do the alchemy. It had nothing to do with Tom, a newcomer【7】.

The days passed day by day, and in the blink of an eye, a week had passed.

Today, perhaps Tom's lucky day, Mr. Pony hurriedly left the shop due to urgent business, leaving the shop in Tom's care. Tom felt his chance had come.

Pony is here, you look for Pony, Pony is not here, do you want to try 【7】? If it doesn't open again, he will consider switching to a buyout cooperation form. After all, if he was in a daze all day, then this part-time job would be meaningless.

A figure appeared on the street of Knockturn Alley. He leisurely walked to Pony's alchemy workshop and stopped.

"I didn't expect Mr. Pony to take over here..." After muttering a few words in a low voice, he pushed open the door of the alchemy workshop.

The door was pushed open with a creak, and the welcoming bell hanging on the door shook immediately, making a crisp ringing.

Tom looked up and recognized the visitor: Lucius Malfoy.

"Welcome to Pony's Alchemy Workshop, what do you need?" Tom asked.

Tom's voice caught Lucius' attention. He looked over and saw a man wearing a fox mask standing behind the cash register talking to him. This person sounds very young, and his stature is not tall. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com is obviously not Mr. Pony.

Lucius Malfoy frowned. What he was looking for was the alchemist Mr. Pony. He heard that he was a brilliant alchemist and should be able to meet his requirements.

"Where's Mr. Pony?"

"Mr. Pony is temporarily inconvenient to welcome guests. Is there anything I can do for you? I believe I can also satisfy you."

Lucius subconsciously wanted to roll his eyes and reject this strange guy, but after thinking about it for a while, he felt that it wouldn't cost him a few coppers to say it—everyone came, and he was a little unwilling to leave directly.

"I need to customize an alchemy creation that is both offensive and defensive, can you do it?"

"Of course!" Tom agreed.
