"Come on," Mundungus growled, pressing them to make haste. "Don't make eye contact with anyone. Don't stop to touch anything, look at anything, or smell anything. Stay behind me, or you are your own. OK?"
Kai nodded, pulling the hood down.
There are many Contestants here, he thought. It won't be any good for me to bump into one from higher floors. Not now when I am already at the mercy of an in-world Character.
But there was one thing he needed to do. After seeing the last Milestone, Kai's greed had been kindled. By himself, there was no way to know what could or would be a Milestone. At least, not before knowing any precedent.
A precedent like the name of a famous place.
"Chaos," Kai said, whispering under his breath. "What are the quickest Milestones a 1st Set's Contestant can achieve in the Diagon Alley?"

Processing Contestant Kai Stormborn's question...
Price: 200 Mission Credits

...
What? Kai's eyes widened. There's a price over it? My privilege doesn't cover it?
Unlike him, who enjoyed the Privilege of having a high Worth, almost all other Contestants paid the Systems in Mission Credits for all questions. ALL QUESTIONS.
This was the first time for Kai to find himself standing in their shoes.
Gritting his teeth, he paid the price anyway.

Following are the quickest Milestones regarding 1st-Set Contestants:
1. Diagon Alley Exploration (30%) - roam through the Diagon Alley, visiting some major and minor shops
2. Buy your first magical creature
3. Buy your first wand (only applicable if the wand chooses the wizard)
4. Open your account in the Gringotts Wizarding Bank
5. Kill someone on the street
6. Steal an item from any shop and survive
7. ...
8. ...

From rapes to murders, curses to ransoming it listed all that one could do.
They kept taking a dark, terrifying turn from there on, with occasional exceptions.
Kai found himself inadequate to take in all the wondrous things the place offered him.
The hood around his face didn't make it any easier, either. On one side he saw owls screeching, polished and expensive brooms line methodically, tempting Kai's heartstrings. On the other side, he noticed an apothecary, a clothes shop, and a shop selling second-hand books. Kai's eyes narrow deviously at that.
A tug at his elbow saved him from heading towards that shop.
Petyr had been walking close to Kai, his head also moving in all directions. For the first time, Kai noticed a boyish glint in his eyes which assured him that the character indeed was just a boy like himself.
