"If you want to call me that, fine." The man was stunned for a moment, then raised his hand to tidy up his hair, "However, I am very different from the alchemist you imagine."

"I can see it. Anyone with eyes can see it." Sun Zhu crossed his arms and stared at him for a while, "Tell me the number!"

"Hey, Miss God, can you please not be so angry?" His hands trembled, and his hair, which had not been washed for many days, stood straight and angular, looking even more unbearable to look at.

"I finally understand why you seem to have some ability, but your life ends up like this." Sun Zhu sighed. She seemed to see a bit of dust floating on the window edge.

She wouldn't be surprised if she saw a cockroach crawling onto his forehead the next second.

…but it will crash!

"Okay, okay, don't be angry." He scratched his head and held up five fingers. "In addition to the gold raw materials for casting the main body, the production cost is at least this amount."

"Is the unit of measurement gold Galleon or pound?" Sun Zhu frowned and guessed: "500 gold Galleons?"

The man seemed to be choked and didn't speak for a long time.

Cedric shook his head and whispered in her ear, "Mom said that this man is very poor and his fees are not expensive, but the delivery time is very unpredictable and must be rushed. But the quality of the finished product is still good."

"Ahem..." Sun Zhu touched his nose, looked at the man and said, "Five hundred gold Galleons is impossible. I can't afford it. 50 gold Galleons!"

She glanced at Cedric a little guiltily: "Am I going a little too far?"

"This number is not small." He chuckled. "Let's see what he says."

"This world is so unfair..." the man muttered, "Any school girl is richer than me, and I haven't even seen what a gold galleon looks like!"

He slid down to kneel in front of them and said, "You guys agreed on 50 gold galleons, no regrets?"

"I won't regret it, but I have to ensure the degree of restoration and quality!" Sun Zhu thought for a moment and added, "And speed!"

"You two are my bread and butter! I'm going to quit doing anything else and work overnight on this!" He looked like a piece of cola-flavored jellybean stuck to the ground. "After I finish this, I won't have to work as a ghostwriter for a year to make money!"

"You don't have to do it overnight..." Seeing his miserable look suddenly, Sun Zhu felt a little sorry. She took out a few glittering gold objects from her pocket and placed them on his table that seemed to have only three legs. "Here are ten gold Galleons as a deposit. I'll ask my father to send the rest in a few days. Then an owl will send you a message to discuss various customization details and other matters. If you have any questions, you can communicate with him, or send a letter to me at Hogwarts, Hufflepuff third year, Choo Sun."

"Okay, okay!" He nodded, and after a moment he said in embarrassment: "But I don't have an owl."

"Don't you have a post office? It's so close, what's wrong with just walking a few steps?" Sun Zhu said disdainfully, "If you don't want to starve to death, you can't be so lazy. Don't tell me you don't even want to pay for sending the letter."

"...Okay then." He said reluctantly.

"That's all for now. I still have to go find my classmates." She reached out and fanned away the fine dust that had floated over her face. She resisted the urge to clean up and revamp the place, and pulled Cedric to walk out.

"Wait a minute!" the man yelled again, "I am also... not the kind of person who likes to take advantage. You have given so much money, pick something from the display cabinet and take it away."

Sun Zhu looked at the man in surprise, "Why are you so generous all of a sudden?"

“They can’t be sold anyway.”

Sun Zhu gave a sincere fake smile: "I knew it."

"You see, I have never been to these places, so I can only guess what they look like based on the descriptions in the books. You wizards have nothing better to do and like to add anti-peeping spells to the text, so there are many details. No matter how hard I study, I can't restore them. I can only make some random attempts on my own."

Cedric nodded, and began to understand why these things, which could roughly be called models, were so strange.

"Well, I heard that alchemists are all very powerful magicians. We may not have the opportunity to learn alchemy until the sixth grade. But if you don't know magic, how can you become an alchemist?"

"You ask me, who should I ask?" The man's attitude immediately changed, as if he had forgotten that he was talking to God. "It's innate. It's hard to explain. Don't you know other people who are born with amazing abilities?"

"I do know quite a few of them."

For example, there was Queenie Goldstein, a natural-born Legilimency reader, although Queenie didn't know her at all, and there was Senior Tonks, a natural-born Metamorphosis Magus.

This is a magical world, it's not surprising if anything outrageous happens here.

"That's right, isn't it? You can't doubt other people's supernatural powers just because you are an ordinary person."

Sun Zhu held his forehead and said, "Forget it. I have to keep my quick-acting heart pills ready when I talk to you. I won't say any more. Sayde, is there anything you like in here? If so, don't be polite to him."

Cedric looked at her in surprise: "Me?"

"Yes, he said to pick whatever you want, don't miss it. You have better taste than me, pick what you like, and consider it a gift to thank you for accompanying me here today."

"Well... okay." He smiled, glanced at the shop owner who was constantly brushing off the dust on himself, and pointed at something casually, "Let's take this."

Sun Zhu took a look and saw that it was a miniature palm-sized crystal ball with a three-story villa with a garden inside. It looked quite similar to Diggory's house. Maybe that was why Cedric chose it.

"Okay, take it. You two are welcome to come often. You can get a discount price next time!"

The base holding the crystal ball ornament popped out, and Cedric used the Levitation and Shrinking spells to collect it, then bowed slightly to the shop owner and said, "I'll leave everything else to you. Goodbye."

After walking out of the store, Sun Zhu quickly took a breath of fresh air.

She looked at Cedric, who was a little dazed, and asked, "Do you have any guesses about this person?"

"No, he's not that strange by comparison. But I just remembered that my mother said he usually only charged pounds..."

"Golden Galleons are more valuable. After all, he lives in a wizard village, so it's more convenient this way." Sun Zhu didn't think much about it. "By the way, I didn't tell you just now... Actually, this thing is not for Newt, but for a special friend."

Cedric hummed softly, "He must be a very worthy friend."
