Huh? There's a magic school here.

Chapter 294 The Streamers' Diagon Alley Journey (5)

The two happily left the wand shop with their chosen wands, while the shop staff muttered amongst themselves.

"Even Muggles are buying wands! That's great! Otherwise, if all the wizards went to Hogsmeade to buy wands from their teachers, how would I keep my shop open? Hehe, I'm quick to react, otherwise I'd be like my senior brother, who knows when I'd graduate! A wand is only meaningful if you make it yourself!"

Just as the staff member, who seemed to be the shop manager, was muttering to himself, another group of tourists walked in. He hurried to greet them, glancing back at the shop's shelves with some concern. Should the shop have enough wands? In fact, his worries were justified; after a week, his shop's wands would be almost depleted.

To replenish his supply, he even asked his teacher for help, obtaining some from Hogsmeade Village. However, this still couldn't satisfy the tourists' enthusiasm. Then he came up with an idea: he took the wand shafts to several factories in the Muggle world to have them made. These woodworking factories were a piece of cake for making wooden sticks. One factory could produce around 100,000 sticks a day, and different factories could make different sizes, thus meeting most of the demand.

As for returning to craft wands, he had no choice. Besides hiring more junior students, he could buy house-elves from Headmaster Andres. And these wands sold to Muggles didn't need to be too detailed since they couldn't use them for spellcasting anyway. Thus, Diagon Alley gained another shrewd businessman, and when the story was later leaked online, the Muggles didn't seem to care much. After all, these things were just for decoration; as long as they looked good, practicality didn't matter.

Bao'er and Qiangzi put away their wands after leaving the shop, as the shopkeeper had warned them that although they didn't have magic, waving them around recklessly could still hurt people, so it was best to put them away to avoid trouble. The two wandered aimlessly through Diagon Alley and soon discovered a shop with a large crowd outside.

The shop's sign read "Droy's House," and the sight of many people carrying cages coming out of it indicated that the shop specialized in magical pets.

Two people, holding selfie sticks high, squeezed inside. The place was incredibly noisy. Besides people talking, there were also occasional animal calls. Qi Yongqiang was extremely busy today, mainly because so many people had come to buy pets. He hadn't expected so many people to come, leaving him somewhat unprepared.

When Bao'er and the others squeezed in, they were a little disappointed because it was so crowded that they couldn't see any magical pets. The only ones they could see were the owls standing on the bird perches. These owls were relatively bold, while the smaller birds all huddled in the corners and wouldn't come out.

The viewers in the live stream were also stunned, and they all expressed their amazement in the chat.

"How many people are there! That's why I don't want to go out during the May Day and National Day holidays! As soon as I go out, I get stuck in traffic on the highway, can you imagine! I left Guangzhou at five in the morning and only traveled a dozen kilometers by five in the evening!"

"To be honest, people in Beijing also shed tears from traffic jams! So why go out during the short holiday? Isn't it better to stay home and play games?"

"Do you think I want to go out? If my girlfriend didn't want to go out, would I go out and squeeze into crowds?"

"That's just your own fault for being bad at it! I always convince my girlfriend to play at home!"

"Hey upstairs, what are you and your girlfriend doing at home? Tell me in detail!"

"I'd like to know too, please elaborate! We can chat privately!"

"Pah! You bunch of old perverts! Get out of my way and stop me from seeing these cuties!"

"Why? After watching the video, I felt like I was the only one in the whole world who couldn't get a ticket!"

"Same feeling!"

"Same feeling +1"

"To be honest, receiving 50,000 people a day isn't a small number! The main problem is that there are just too many people on Earth! Billions of people! Even if we say there are 8 billion people, it would take 160,000 days for everyone to go once. But the problem is, the human lifespan is at most 36,500 days! So give up, it's unlikely to happen in this lifetime!"

"Wow, amazing! I never would have guessed! It seems like I'll never have a chance in this lifetime?"

"Don't listen to that 'smart' guy, that's not how it's calculated! It's true that there are eight billion people in the world, but the figure of half of them being able to travel abroad is an exaggeration! Take our Dragon Country for example, out of 1.4 billion people, are there only 50 million who can travel abroad?"

"I'm relieved to hear that. It's only fifty million! It'll be rolled over every three years!"

"The person upstairs must be an idiot. Only Chinese people go to play! There are so many people on the whole planet Earth, you still won't be able to get a ticket! Sigh, I hope the Ministry of Magic can build a few more Diagon Alleys! It would be even better if they were in China!"

"Same here! Are there any wizards in the live stream? Please help convey the demands of the people of the Dragon Kingdom!"

"That's right, that's right! If someone helps me voice my grievances, I'm willing to offer myself in marriage!"

"Pah, you've got a clever plan! I can hear it all over Hainan Province."

"Tibet Province heard it too!"

"Heilongjiang province heard it too!"

"..."

Just as the viewers were chatting and joking, a colorful text scrolled across the screen.

"You know what, the Dragon Kingdom really does exist!"

"Hey, now that you're talking about this, I'm not sleepy anymore! Tell us your story, upstairs!"

The comments section was flooded with copied and pasted messages, everyone wanting to know what was going on. The viewers had practically forgotten about Bao'er and Qiangzi; they were all waiting for the person who posted the colorful text to explain. After a short while, the colorful text appeared as expected.

"Now we can talk about this. As you all know, Hogwarts has quite a few graduates from China. They make up at least one-fifth of the total student body. To make it easier for so many people to learn magic, Hogwarts established a branch school in China called Taixu a few years ago!"

"It's obviously made up! 'Tai Xu'? Why not call it Ying Zhou?"

"This is a scammer trying to grab attention, everyone disperse, disperse!"

"Hey, you with the colorful lettering, which year are you from? How do you know about Taixu?"

"What do you mean? Is what he said about the Great Void real? Are wizards all this trendy nowadays?"

The group of colorful characters seemed to have noticed other young wizards' comments and became interested, so they continued to reply.

"Really? You study at Taixu too? Tell me, how do we usually get to Hogwarts for classes? If you're right, we can follow each other on social media!"

"Holy crap! A little wizard is recognizing a fellow alumnus in the live stream! Guys, catch him alive!"

"Boss, boss! Look at me, I can warm your bed!"

"Big boss, don't worry about me! I can dress up as a woman!"

"Holy crap, what kind of monsters and demons are here! Is this a place I should be in?"

"Hey, wait, you guys came here to watch the live stream properly! Didn't anyone notice that Bao'er and Qiangzi bought an owl?"
