Chapter 630 Daily Life - Christmas Carnival (1) Who says I am not a business genius?
Snow began to fall in Magnolia, and the air gradually cooled.
The streets were covered in silver, looking exceptionally charming. The cold wind kept blowing through the town, making a whistling sound.
Early in the morning, Kira crawled out of bed, washed, dressed, and had breakfast. It took him more than half an hour to do all the work before he went downstairs.
Christmas is a very important festival even in this world.
As the last grand festival of each year, it is not uncommon for young men and women to go shopping, watch movies, send flowers, confess their love, propose marriage, etc.
But the dates were all with other people and had nothing to do with Kira, a single nobleman.
If we must make a connection, it would be that he has shares in all these places where love is confessed, such as cinemas, amusement parks and the like.
This year, Magnolia held a 'Christmas Carnival'.
This carnival covers the most prosperous areas of the town, including the central street, central park, amusement park, water park, cinema, restaurant street, Cardia Cathedral, etc., which is very lively.
This event not only made the residents of Magnolia excited, but also attracted people from several surrounding towns to come and have fun. Everyone's face was filled with joyful smiles.
Only the mayor bought a two-story villa with tears in his eyes.
The snow has been falling for several days and has not melted yet. There is still a layer of snow about ten centimeters thick on the ground. Fortunately, the weather is clear now and the main areas of the carnival have been cleaned, so it is basically unobstructed.
In order to make a fortune in this Christmas carnival, the mayor of Magnolia prepared for a long time and did a lot of publicity. The whole event lasted for three days, combining several themes such as games, sports, food, love and raffles, which attracted a constant stream of tourists to every venue.
Kira disguised himself as a street vendor, an old man with a white beard, wandering the streets of Magnolia , intending to experience the feeling of "an old man on the street giving you a love magic weapon".
Given his superb camouflage skills, even in broad daylight, few people could recognize him, unless there was a super powerful magician who had nothing better to do than to investigate the magic power of an old man on the street.
"Hey, young man, buy a flower for the lady next to you!" Kira called out to a young couple passing by.
"I have no money."
The man's face showed obvious impatience, he had seen many street vendors trying to attract people, they were always unreasonable and it was difficult to get rid of them once they got harassed, so he had to leave as quickly as possible!
"My flowers are not expensive, only 100J each, and if you buy 100 of them, you can get a lottery ticket!"
The man was about to leave, but when he heard about the raffle ticket, his dormant gambling mentality was instantly activated. He stopped and turned back to ask, "What raffle ticket?"
"All the tourists in the carnival today, no matter where they are, whether in restaurants, amusement facilities or roadside vendors, can get lottery tickets as long as they spend a certain amount of money, and then go to the lottery center there to redeem the prizes."
Kira pointed to a makeshift stall not far away where several officials were working.
"The number of raffle tickets is limited and they are scattered around the carnival. You can only get them by participating in games or spending a certain amount of money. The way to get them is different in each place. You either need to be very strong or very lucky."
"That is to say, if you want to get a lottery ticket from me, you only need to buy 100 flowers for it, but in other places, such as restaurants, you may have to spend ten or even twenty times the price!"
When the man heard this, his eyes lit up instantly: It sounds interesting?!
Different ways of obtaining it mean different amounts of money to be spent.
Now you only need to buy a hundred flowers, or even spend less to get a lottery ticket, while others have to pay ten or twenty times the price for a lottery ticket. Isn't it a huge profit for me?
There is a certain number of raffle tickets, but the spending limit is different in each place, and there is no limit on the number of times or time to obtain them, which means... first come, first served?
This is a game of speed competition!!
The man's curiosity, competitiveness, and playfulness were aroused at the same time. He looked at Kira with excitement in his eyes: "What are the prizes?"
Hooked!
Kira smiled softly: "There are many prizes, from magic props, travel vouchers to daily necessities, everything. You can find out the details when you go over there!"
The man and his female companion walked towards the lottery center with doubt.
Ten minutes later...
"Grandpa, how many raffle tickets do you have here? I want them all!"
Kira had expected this, and rubbed his slender white hands excitedly: "I have a total of 10 lottery tickets here, you need to buy a thousand flowers, thank you for your patronage!"
After the payment and delivery, Kira left happily with 100,000 J in pocket money.
"Not bad, not bad... I have the money to play with today!"
"I used magic potions to grow one thousand flowers, with a total cost of less than one thousand J. I sold them for 100,000 J. The profit is simply incredible! If I'm not a business genius, who is?"
Walking on the road with Doflamingo's dance steps, Kira felt as light as a feather, and even ignored the pointing and talking of passers-by.
"Hey, look! That old man..."
"His walking posture is so weird! So arrogant! I really want to beat him to death..."
“But the other person is an old man!”
"What old man walks like that?"
"That's right... No one from Fairy Tail is so arrogant!"
Then you underestimate us!
Kira smiled faintly, did not correct Passerby A's words, but turned and walked .
"Hey, young man, would you like to buy a couple's bracelet? This is the latest magic item. You can contact your lover at any time. It is equivalent to a portable communication magic crystal. It is very convenient!!"
" Miss , would you like to buy crystal earrings? These are made of the finest white crystal. Look at them... They match your temperament so well! A pair is only 9998J!"
"Hey little friend, do you want to buy some cards? There are new character cards of the 'Fairy Tail Slayer - Dark Guild' series inside. I guarantee that they are worth the money. Buy them early and enjoy them early!"
"this……"
Half a day later, Kira finally sold out all the goods he had.
The tourists who came to Magnolia to play these days are all very rich and willing to spend money. Kira wants to do their business. It is much better to go to the street and attract people directly than to stay in the store and wait for people to come!
With a pile of gold coins and banknotes of varying denominations in his arms, Kira was humming an unknown tune happily, feeling very relaxed.
"An ordinary festival event can actually lead to such a scene. I suddenly feel that this mayor is not a good-for-nothing who only knows how to buy villas and keep mistresses..."
"I'll be free for the rest of the time anyway, so I might as well go look around..."
Thinking of this, Kira rolled his eyes and walked towards the registration for the nearest competition event.
Speed racing, with one round every two hours, is the most extensive, most exciting and thrilling game in the whole venue!
The track starts from the central square and follows a fixed route. It circles Magnolia and then returns to the square. The top three will get different prizes, and the first place will also get a lottery ticket.
Kira took off his disguise and signed up for the competition, intending to win the race.
It's not that he wants any raffle tickets. That thing is just a way for the mayor to cheat people out of money. It's not a good thing . After all, he is also one of the suppliers of the prizes for those raffles, so he has those raffle tickets.
Kira's purpose of participating in this event is to get the top three rewards, but the prizes for each round are different. The prizes for the top three in this round are: a set of magic 4X4 car figures, a set of magic toy cars, and a bonus of 20,000 J.
Although these rewards are not much and not good things, the most important thing about games is participation and having fun.
However, when Kira arrived at the preparation area, he saw familiar faces at a glance - the red-haired devil and the white-haired angel. The two were confronting each other with murderous intent!
"Ohhhh!! What a coincidence, Erza! Mira-chan!!"
Could it be that the long-awaited fight between beauties is about to begin again?
"Kira, you are here too?" The two showed surprised expressions when they saw Kira appearing here.
"That's weird... Normally at this time, shouldn't you be running a mobile stall and preparing to make a fortune?"
You really understand me...
"The stuff is sold out, so I came over to have some fun. Did you guys come out together?"
Mira smiled gently at Kira: "No, I came out with Lisanna, and happened to meet Erza nearby, so we wanted to have a long-awaited match."
Good job!
Kira looked at Mira with surprise: This woman's competitive spirit is still as strong as before!
