Chapter 239 Quidditch Team Arms Race
As Halloween has passed, the first Quidditch game of the new semester is gradually approaching.
On Wednesday morning, the arrival of a flock of owls caused a sensation throughout the auditorium.
Judging from the elongated package hanging under their talons, the items carried by this group of owls should be...
Flying broomstick!
There are seven such packages!
For these seven broomsticks, a total of forty-two owls were dispatched.
The arrival of the owls made all the students dining in the auditorium agitated.
That's a total of seven broomsticks! It means a big change of uniforms for the entire college team!
They couldn't wait to know which college's team was so rich that they were willing to spend money to buy new brooms for the entire team.
What they want to know more is, which model of these brooms are they?
Is it Nimbus 2000? Or 2001?
In other words, is there a possibility that it is the newly launched Firebolt?
Well, for the price of a Firebolt...
If the whole team wants to dress up as Firebolts, it can only be said that this big brother is thinking of having his cake and eat it too.
Under the expectant eyes of the students, forty-two owls headed straight for the Gryffindor table, and the Gryffindor table immediately erupted in deafening cheers.
Above the little lions, the owls released their claws, and the seven packages smashed straight towards the long table below.
The four Weasley brothers, as well as Harry and his roommates, hurriedly caught the package dropped by the owls.
Even so, the dropped package still knocked over many cups on the table, and the dinner plates were also in a mess.
Many little lions were splashed with milky white liquid, which was milk, from the overturned cups, but the little lions were so excited that they had no time to care about it.
"Look! Harry! There's a card here!" Ron raised the package in his hand. There was a small card attached to the outside of the package, with a short sentence written on it in a very scrawled handwriting.
"These seven broomsticks are all for you!" Ron's eyes widened in surprise.
Harry's expression was also very surprised.
Although there was no signature on the card, Harry immediately guessed who gave it to him.
The last time he and Sirius talked about Quidditch, Sirius heard that his original old broom was broken during the game, so he said that he would give him a new broom.
Originally, Harry thought that Sirius might wait until Christmas to give him a new broom as a Christmas gift.
As a result, Sirius sent him a broom before the first Quidditch match of the semester.
What surprised Harry even more was that Sirius actually rounded up all the brooms in their college.
Because he was afraid of revealing his identity, Sirius didn't write anything more on the card, except that he left the broom to Harry.
Harry certainly couldn't ride so many broomsticks by himself, so the remaining six were for his teammates to use.
Under the expectant eyes of the little lions, Harry tore open the package in his hand,
A beautiful, sparkling broomstick was displayed in front of everyone.
When the style of the broom is exposed to people,
There was a sound of air-conditioning sucking all around.
At this moment, the earth's greenhouse effect has intensified.
Firebolt!
The exquisite broom handle is crafted from ash wood and treated with a polish as hard as diamond to present a graceful streamlined shape...
All have been screened,
To achieve perfection in its streamlined form, the broomstick is unparalleled in balance and precision...
Can accelerate to 150 miles per hour in ten seconds.
The broomstick of choice for any Quidditch player - the Firebolt!
The twin brothers, who were the batsmen of the team, were so excited to watch.
No matter how rich they are now,
But it would cost them nearly a year's net operating profit of Weasley Industries to buy such a Firebolt.
These two brothers are absolutely reluctant to part with each other.
They now use homemade fertilizer broomsticks.
Although Feidian has launched the seventh-generation model with the joint efforts of parents.
Now its shape,
It is no longer the conventional cylindrical missile shape of the second generation Feidian.
The appearance of Feidian has become flatter, and its streamlined appearance has become smoother.
It would be more appropriate to call this thing a hypersonic weapon.
Its name is no longer "Fei Dian" with a bit of ridicule, but "Thunder".
The high-altitude and high-speed performance of the Thunderbolt is far superior to that of the Firebolt.
certainly,
This is with the engine on.
But ever since Kyle was in a Quidditch match,
Turn on the engine afterburner of this thing,
After using the impact of the sonic boom to knock all the Slytherin players next door off their brooms, the Thunder's engine afterburner was disabled by Madam Hooch.
cough,
To be precise, it is a whole series of flying broomsticks from the first to the seventh generation.
Mrs. Huo Qi even asked Mrs. Huo Qi to disable the engine.
Yes, you heard it right,
It disables the entire engine.
Not only was the afterburner disabled, but the engine was not even allowed to start.
Thunder without engine assistance,
In terms of flight performance, it is only slightly better than the Nimbus 2001.
Compared to the Firebolt,
Still somewhat inferior.
Coupled with its high cost, only wealthy people like Kyle can afford this thing.
The twin brothers only use a third-generation fat battery. Without engine assistance, its performance is only equivalent to the Nimbus 1800 that was launched five or six years ago.
Now there is such a package that is 98% likely to contain Firebolts and is placed in front of the two brothers. If they are not excited, they will be confused.
After obtaining Harry's consent, the brothers opened the package in front of them with trembling hands with excited hearts.
Unfortunately, the package opened this time did not contain the Firebolt, but Nimbus 2001.
The brothers felt a little disappointed, but it was quickly made up for by ecstasy.
After all, not everyone can afford the Firebolt.
There were seven packages in front of them. The Firebolt was undoubtedly for Harry. As for the rest...
In addition to using it for other members of their Quidditch team, are there other possibilities?
impossible.
This means that their Gryffindor Quidditch team has to change their guns!
"Harry...this..." Ron began to stutter, "If I join the Quidditch team now, is it too late?"
At the Hufflepuff table next door, Cedric craned his neck and kept looking around, wanting to know what was going on in Gryffindor next door.
"Brother Kai, look, Nimbus Broom..." Zacharis, Kyle's number one loser on the team, said with a strong hint.
Kyle slapped his hand on the dining table, making a loud noise.
The startled lion cubs turned their heads and looked over.
Kyle slapped them hard on the Hufflepuff dining table again, "Buy! You can buy anything!"
The angry little devil stepped on the stool with one foot, "I announce! We Hufflepuff are also going to have a new round of costume changes!"
“I’ll place the order later!”
After seeing the neatly arranged six Nimbus 2001 on the table next door,
The envious little badgers cheered one after another.
Except for Kyle and Cedric who use Thunder,
In addition to using a third-generation fertilizer battery,
The brooms used by other Hufflepuff players are only Nimbus 1600.
It's not that Kyle doesn't want to give them new equipment,
It's just that the Quidditch talents and skills of the little badgers are mediocre.
If it weren't for the massive amount of devilish training that allowed them to accumulate Quidditch skills, they would still be just that weak team that had only won a few championships in more than eighty years.
The steering performance and braking performance of Feidian series flying broomsticks are designed to match its supersonic flight.
This is too weird for the little badgers and difficult to control.
Only talented players like Kyle and Cedric can control it.
Forcing others to use the Feiden series broomsticks may end up with their performance being worse than letting them go back to those outdated Comet or Sideswipe.
Kyle also wanted to give them Nimbus 2001, but the little badgers were very stubborn and refused to accept his sponsorship.
They mainly didn't want Kyle to spend money, even though they all knew that the little devil was so poor that he only had money left.
In the end, Kyle had no choice but to do the next best thing and let each of them pay some money themselves, and then he would give them some subsidies. In the end, everyone was given a Nimbus 1600.
Now there is a matter of Gryffindor and Slytherin all changing to Nimbus 2001. Kyle, the sponsor's father, paid for each of them to get a Nimbus 2001. The little badgers have no reason to refuse.
.
After hearing Kyle's declaration, Draco Malfoy and Professor Flitwick both had expressions of pain on their faces.
Now looking at Hufflepuff's attitude, they are about to kick off a new round of arms race for the Quidditch team.
Gryffindor has already completed its costume change with the sponsorship of an unknown wealthy man, and Hufflepuff also has financial support from a big benefactor like Kyle Dumbledore.
The important task of dressing up Slytherin and Ravenclaw fell on them.
Among them, Draco Malfoy is particularly annoying.
Slytherin used to rely on the performance gap between Nimbus 2001 and Nimbus 1600 to compete with Gryffindor.
The prerequisite for fighting against each other is that the twin brothers do not use strange powers during the competition.
Now that Gryffindor has neatly changed to Nimbus 2001, the equipment gap between them and the little lions no longer exists.
It was impossible to win even with good equipment, and now it is even more impossible to win.
Is it possible that he wants to give everyone a Firebolt?
But the price of one Firebolt is enough to buy five Nimbus 2001.
He only bought seven Nimbus 2001s last year. If you calculate it this way, he would have to pay for another thirty-five Nimbus 2001s?
In total, there are forty-two Nimbus, enough to arm six Quidditch teams.
Which damn capitalist's property can withstand such a defeat?
Even though the Malfoy family has a big business, it can't compete with the combination of Dumbledore, Grindelwald, and August in terms of financial resources!
