A Magical Journey Starting at Hogwarts

Chapter 680 Preparations Before Opening, Gaius's Pepsi House (1/2)

Chapter 680 Preparations before opening, Gaius's Pepsi House

"System, sign in."

"Host signs in at an ordinary apartment and gets one magic point."

Aaron curled his lips in disdain, feeling that he really needed to find a few efficient sign-in locations.

The current situation reminded him of the hard days seven years ago when he wanted to spend a magic point in half and even had to be frugal to refresh the mall.

"System, how many magic points will you get if you sign in at Stark Tower?"

"Two magic points."

"What if you sign in at the Strategic National Defense Attack and Logistics Support Agency?" Aaron couldn't help but complain in his heart after saying this: This name is so damn long.

"Same two magic points."

"Okay! It seems that the normal check-in points are not much higher."

Aaron sneered, then took out the prophecy book from the magic circle, "Are there any prophecies today?"

"The gears of fate began to turn. Tony Stark built a new Ark reactor for himself, but the old reactor will save his life in the near future."

"Ha! Interesting." Aaron said indifferently, "But it has nothing to do with me for the time being. My top priority is to survive in this world."

Making money is the first priority, and he already has an idea of ​​how to make money.

Opening a store, after all, he has experience, but this time he wants to make a different one.

Huh!

Aaron took a deep breath, then put on his backpack, took all his assets and walked out of the house.

First, he went to a motorcycle shop, and with his handsome appearance and bargaining with the boss lady, he successfully bought his first motorcycle in his life for four thousand dollars.

Diamond black, black wheels, combat appearance, excellent texture.

The disadvantage is that it is not suitable for long-term riding and is more fuel-consuming.

But this is not a problem for Aaron at all. He has also learned the modification technology. The appearance can be more handsome. As for the interior...

Magic modification! One of his side jobs is alchemist.

Using Gubler fairy fire as energy, each component is equipped with runes to add functions, such as speed, shock absorption, comfort, defense, attack and flight... Forget about flying, that is too conspicuous.

Then he went to a super grocery store and bought a crucible, a crystal ball, a first aid kit and parchment.

There are no magical animals and plants in this world, and most of the materials needed to brew potions are not available. Aaron can only settle for the second best and try to use ordinary materials instead of magical animal and plant raw materials, which is a disguised modification of the potion formula.

After transporting everything back home, Aaron's funds shrank again, leaving less than 6,000 US dollars.

"I didn't expect that I would worry about money one day!" Looking at the balance on the card, Aaron laughed at himself and divided the money into two parts.

Two-thirds were used to rent a store, and the remaining one-third was used for decoration.

But he had to find a place with a suitable price and location before his rent expired this month.

During this period, he could modify the motorcycle and modify the potion formula.

......

"Day 11, 37th experiment, version 2.0."

Stark stood in the basement of the sea view villa, with a brand new Ark reactor on his chest and semi-finished mechanical arms on his hands and legs.

In front of him, a mechanical arm held a camera, and behind him was a fire-fighting robot.

"Benben is still a firefighter." Stark said to the fire-fighting robot, and then changed the subject, "But if you dare to spray me again and I'm not on fire, I will donate you to the city university."

"Okay." Stark adjusted his breathing, flattened his hands, and faced the ground with his palms. "Steady, just use one percent of the full thrust at the beginning.

Ready, three, two, one."

As soon as the voice fell, the machinery in his hands and feet started at the same time, releasing a strong pulse.

And he himself was floating in the air under the effect of this thrust.

A few seconds later, he landed smoothly, and the thrusters on his legs rubbed a few sparks on the ground. 'Benben' immediately pointed the fire extinguisher at Stark.

"Don't keep pointing that thing at me, as if I will catch fire at any time.

Relax a little, it's not too late to take action when something really happens."

'Benben' pressed the fire extinguisher, and Stark began a new round of experiments, "Now adjust the thrust to 25%."

This time it's not just floating, he can fly slowly in mid-air and simply adjust the direction.

After floating around the basement, Stark landed on the ground again, "I can fly."

After the test was completed, several mechanical arms delivered the corresponding accessories, and a set of pure silver steel armor covered his whole body, officially completing the first dress.

"Jarvis, are you there?"

"What's the matter, sir?" The artificial intelligence Jarvis responded.

"Turn on the alarm display."

"Understood."

"Import all selected programs from the system."

"Yes, sir."

Inside the armor, Stark saw enough data analysis through artificial intelligence, "How is it?"

"I have completed the file import and the line is ready."

"Let's start virtual testing."

"Reset priorities and calibrate working conditions."

"Check each control surface."

"Yes, sir."

"Testing completed, prepare to turn off the power and start data analysis."

"Let's do this. Check the weather and air traffic control first, and start receiving ground control signals."

"Sir, I strongly object. There is still a lot of data that has not been analyzed."

"Jarvis." Stark's tone was a little more impatient, "Sometimes you have to be forward-thinking when doing things.

Okay? Three, two, one."

The armor slowly rose into the air, drawing an arc amid Stark's cheers.

Flying out of the basement at high speed, Stark rushed straight into the night sky and tested the data of the armor in surprise.

He had flown in the air once before, but in Afghanistan, and failed, crashing into the sand dunes in a parabolic posture.

Flying around the city, he cast his eyes on the moon hanging in the night sky.

"See how powerful it is. What is the record of the SR-71 Blackbird?"

"The highest record of the SR-71 Blackbird is 85,000 feet, sir."

"Records are meant to be broken, right!" Stark shouted and challenged the sky.

The armor thrust was fully opened, and it was getting farther and farther away from the ground, but a layer of white frost gradually formed on the surface of the armor.

"Sir, ice at high altitude can cause major accidents." Jarvis reminded.

"Keep going, higher." Stark was in high spirits, and he didn't care about ice at all.

After flying for a few seconds, a thick layer of ice formed on the armor, the thrust system failed, Jarvis was forced to cut off contact, and Stark was forced to do free fall.

Falling from an altitude of tens of thousands of meters, if he hit the ground, even if there was armor protection and buffering, he would definitely not be able to get away with it.

Fortunately, when he was about to come into close contact with the ground, he broke the ice layer, and the armor regained power and flew above the sea view villa.

"Shut down."

Bang!

The armor smashed through the ceiling, and then crashed through several floors in succession, and finally stopped in the basement.

The starting point was very exciting, and the landing point was a little embarrassing, but Stark was full of excitement.

After the test just now, Mark 2.0 was very successful, and it could be put into use as long as the icing problem was solved.

Flying is the dream of mankind. He had a very exciting and thrilling experience just now.

It was just that his head hurt a little from the collision, so he had to apply an ice pack.

After taking off his armor, Stark applied an ice pack and walked to the studio.

He picked up a cup of coffee and just as he was about to drink it, he saw the paper box sent by Pepper.

Stark paused slightly, put down the coffee cup, and opened the paper box.

Inside was the Ark Reactor he had used before, the first model, but the energy was much worse than the current one.

Potts cleaned and packaged it and put it in a glass box with a line of words on it: This thing proves that Tony Stark is a caring person.

......

Hell's Kitchen.

Aaron rode the modified motorcycle and stopped in front of a house.

After investigating for more than half a month, he barely found a more suitable store among the thousands of rental notices.

Two floors, plus a large basement.

The second floor is the living area, with bedrooms, kitchens, bathrooms, and living rooms. The first floor is the reception area, conference room, and office.

The space is large enough, the flow of people is high, the equipment and appliances are complete, and most importantly, it is open to modification.

The rent is a little expensive, 5,000 US dollars a month, 1,000 more than his expected price, and water, electricity, gas and coal are not included.

But he really likes this place, so he spent all his money to rent it for a month, and modified the first floor according to his own ideas.

The conference room and office were removed, and it was transformed into a simple restaurant, and divided into multiple functional areas, although there is nothing yet.

Looking at the sign on the door, "Gaius's Pepsi House", Aaron was also a little excited.

Just opening the wallet, the less than 500 US dollars left in it cooled his excitement a lot.

"Money is something outside of the body, you are Gaius, and it only takes a few minutes to make money." Aaron secretly encouraged himself, and at the same time prepared a way out.

When you really have no money, you can rob the rich to help the poor, as long as you don't reveal your identity.

After all, this world is still very chaotic, there is no shortage of evil people, and there is no shortage of evil people who can rob.

He was sure that the robber would not call the police.

After opening the door, Aaron took care of his belongings. The Holy Dragon and Phoenix were also excited about moving to a new home and ran around the house happily.

"You two should restrain yourself." Aaron said speechlessly, "If you are naughty again, don't blame me for not letting you eat."

The dragon and the phoenix immediately stood up obediently, their eyes full of piety for food.

"You, stand over there, that's more normal." Aaron pointed at Fox and then at the branch stand he bought for it some time ago.

Fox chirped and stood on it with flapping wings.

This "bird stand" is not as good as the one in the principal's office. It can't withstand the flames of the phoenix at all. For this reason, Aaron specially enchanted it once.

"This is my kingdom!" Aaron hugged Abei and sat on the black leather sofa, "It's a little shabby, but it's only temporary."

Ding Dong!

At this time, the doorbell suddenly rang, and Aaron couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

When he opened the door, two familiar people stood outside, Tony Stark wearing sunglasses and his secretary Pepper Potts.

"Are you surprised to see us?" Stark teased.

"Yes, there are some." Aaron invited the two in. "My shop hasn't officially opened yet?"

"Then you should feel honored. It's unique to have a billionaire come to support your shop in person.

But the media doesn't know, so they can't promote you." Stark said lightly while looking at the decoration in the store.

"Maybe! But I didn't invite you.

Also, how do you know what I'm doing?"

"I've been asking Potts to keep an eye on you and know that you're moving today." Stark said very frankly, "But it doesn't matter. I saw the sign outside. Pepsi House? What does it do specifically?"

"This is a good question." Aaron introduced with some pride, "Currently there are only three main projects: catering, massage, and divination. We will expand some other businesses later."

"Divination?"

"Massage?"

Stark and Potts looked at each other, "You also know this?"

"I know a lot, and there are many things that can make money, but there are fewer things that can make money easily." Aaron explained helplessly.

"Then I have to experience it." Stark asked with a smile, "You don't mind?"

"The customer is God!" Aaron shrugged, "The only reason I didn't kick you out is because I really don't have money now."

Stark's mouth twitched, "So honest, then your chance to make a lot of money has come."

"I think so too."

"Divination." Stark said with interest, "Use tarot cards?"

"As a fortune teller, I am better at crystal balls."

"Massage." Potts interrupted, "Tony... needs to relax, but can you really do it?"

"Ms. Potts, you can trust my character."

"Pepper, how about divination first?"

"You need to relax." Potts looked at Stark seriously.

"Okay!" Stark looked at Aaron, "Should I lie down?"

"Of course."

Stark looked around and smiled far-fetchedly, "You won't let me lie on the sofa!"

"That's not the case, come with me!" Aaron smiled mysteriously and made a polite gesture of invitation.

Stark and Potts followed him around a corner and into a compartment of only 20 square meters. A human-shaped green cactus was placed in the middle, and there was nothing else.

"Five hundred dollars for one trip, I guarantee it's worth it."

"That's outrageous." Potts swallowed in disbelief, "It's a cactus!"

"Acupuncture cactus, I got it with great difficulty (50 delicious points, according to the exchange rate, it needs 500,000 US dollars)

As the first customer, I can let you experience it for free." Aaron smiled, and then suddenly pushed Potts up.

Stark instinctively wanted to stop him, but Aaron's action was too fast, and he could only watch his secretary fall to the acupuncture bed in horror.
