"Fifteen thousand?"

George's eyes immediately lit up.

He hadn't expected that the two square meters of small pouches he had created with the Undetectable Extension Charm could sell for fifteen thousand at the magic shop.

Fifteen thousand is quite a substantial amount in this world; most magical items in this store are rarely priced above ten thousand, and those exceeding five thousand are even fewer.

For an ordinary person, having fifteen thousand J would allow for a comfortable life for several years.

With this kind of small pouch, if he wished, he could easily make several hundred in a day, meaning that his avatars in this world would no longer lack for money.

However, upon further reflection, he abandoned this naive thought. The rarity of an item adds to its value; if he produced too many, they would lose their worth and could easily cause unnecessary troubles.

As long as he had enough money to get by, the priority was to focus on learning magic for now.

One could only say that some spells from the Harry Potter world are incredibly useful; an Undetectable Extension Charm had indirectly granted him financial freedom in this world.

"Twenty thousand; I won't sell for less!"

George's eyes twinkled as he reached out to take the small pouch back into his hands.

The old man showed no hesitation upon hearing this. He quickly retrieved a box from under the counter, then counted a thick stack of banknotes and handed them to George.

"Alright, twenty thousand it is. Here's a total of twenty-one thousand two hundred; please take it!"

By selling it for twenty thousand, he could easily earn over ten thousand in pure profit—an excellent deal.

"You're not even going to negotiate?"

Seeing the owner's decisiveness, George realized he had probably sold it too cheaply, but he feigned disappointment, not truly caring inside.

For him, the small pouch was something he could conjure up effortlessly.

"Tell you what, customer, if you buy anything else from my shop today, I'll give you a twenty percent discount!"

Fearing George might change his mind, the old man quickly added.

"That's more like it."

George took the money, tossed the small pouch onto the counter, and began to browse the store.

The magic shop wasn't large, but it had quite a variety of items. He noticed numerous magically enhanced swords, blades, and armor, along with various magical items and foundational spellbooks, as well as magical magazines.

He wasn't interested in the swords and armor. Not only did his feline form make them unsuitable, but even if he could transform into a human, he wouldn't enjoy engaging in close combat; it was too dangerous. After all, he was a wizard.

His focus was on the magical magazines, spellbooks, and magical tools.

The magical magazines primarily discussed the activities of major guilds in the kingdom's magical community, helping him gain a more detailed understanding of this world and the Fairy Tail guild.

The spellbooks contained foundational knowledge about magic, including classifications and the history of magic.

The magical tools had a variety of functions—some for daily life and others for combat, all with rich functionalities.

"How much for the Wind Whisper Glasses?"

After browsing through various items, he quickly discovered a magical tool that piqued his interest.

According to the description on the counter, wearing the Wind Whisper Glasses while reading would enable the user to read at a speed of five pages per second, assisting in the rapid acquisition of knowledge.

He needed to start from scratch to learn the magic system of this world and would need to read many spellbooks. If the Wind Whisper Glasses were indeed genuine, they could greatly enhance his learning efficiency.

"Customer, you have a keen eye! This is one of the best magical tools in our shop, priced at fifty thousand J. With a twenty percent discount, it's only forty thousand."

Seeing that George had chosen one of the most expensive magical tools in the store, the old man beamed and hurried over from the counter.

Aside from that big spender, the Fairy Queen, this was a rare large order for the day.

"I'll take this along with the books and magazines I picked out earlier," George replied, not bothering to negotiate.

Ten minutes later, the old man placed a nearly half-height package in front of George.

"The total comes to eighty thousand, which is sixty-four thousand after the discount. If you need it, I also have a magical cart available."

"No need for that."

George interrupted the old man's sales pitch with a wave of his hand. After paying, he cast a levitation spell on the package, unfurling his wings and using his tail to carry it as he left the magic shop.

On the street, townsfolk passing by cast curious glances at George, but they merely glanced and did not stop to gawk.

To the people of this world, George's situation was not all that extraordinary.

He found a decent inn, paid a deposit for three days, and settled in with his purchases.

In truth, with his current feline form, he could easily find a place in the woods outside the city to stay. However, he felt there was no need to put himself in such a predicament.

Since he had the money, he might as well enjoy a more comfortable life. It was much better to have someone prepare food and drink for him rather than living out in the wild like Jin Jin. Although his body was that of a cat, his soul was still human.

During these few days, aside from getting a basic understanding of the magical world, he could also learn about the Fairy Tail guild through magazines and interactions with ordinary locals.

His intention to join Fairy Tail was to learn more powerful magic, but he didn't want to rush in blindly; he needed to have a general understanding first.

If he discovered that certain aspects weren't suitable for him, he could always look for another mage guild.

There were numerous mage guilds in this world, several of which were as well-known as Fairy Tail, so there was no need to hang all his hopes on a single tree.

"Let's first see if this thing really works."

Sitting on the bed in his inn room, he picked up the Wind Whisper Glasses. Although the size was far from perfect, he could manage to use them.

He took a thick book introducing the different types of magic in this world and infused a bit of magical energy into the Wind Whisper Glasses.

Instantly, several small magical circles appeared on the lenses. As he looked at the magic book through the glasses, he found that the words seemed to imprint themselves directly into his mind without requiring him to read them attentively.

The same happened when he flipped to the second page.

It was as if, as long as he turned the pages quickly enough, he never had to worry about not being able to read or digest the information in time.

What would have taken him days to finish reading could now be completed in under an hour with the Wind Whisper Glasses.

However, after finishing, his mind felt slightly dizzy.

According to the old man's previous explanation, it was best not to use the Wind Whisper Glasses for more than two hours a day; otherwise, the brain could become particularly fatigued.

Nonetheless, with his mental abilities, George figured he could manage three or four hours.

He felt that this drawback was insignificant. Considering that he could now read in an hour what would have taken days, even using the glasses only once a day would still greatly enhance his efficiency.

Moreover, during the cooling-off period, he could engage in other activities, such as practicing magic and digesting the knowledge he gained from his reading.

"Once I reach a certain level of proficiency in the magic of this world, I must be the first to learn how to create this magical tool!"

Removing the Wind Whisper Glasses, George silently vowed to himself.

If there were a learning artifact like this at Hogwarts, he could truly finish reading the thousands of spellbooks in the library before graduating, becoming the most knowledgeable wizard in the magical world.
