Hogwarts card system

Chapter 382 Yanan Town, a town with simple folk customs

In the distant American continent, a young wizard carefully returned to his house and took out a double-sided mirror from several layers of seals.

Although it is said that Utopia has been radiated to the Americas through the Leyline Magic Network, the Magical Congress in the United States has not approved the official listing of Utopia.

Therefore, the wizards who now land in Utopia in the United States are all landing illegally.

Of course, the Magical Congress has limited strength. If you log in quietly without any fanfare, they won't be able to find you, let alone take care of you.

And this little wizard, who is 16 years old this year, is called Slada and will graduate next year.

Because of the promotion of the live broadcast of the Seven Powers Tournament, almost all the students from these schools with representative teams participating in the tournament fell into the trap of Utopia Two-Way Mirror.

However, Ilvermorny in the United States is not like other schools.

They suffered heavy losses!
The principal died, the professor died, and he was even shamed into leading the team to participate in the competition, thus losing seven outstanding students in the school.

Although Voldemort was forced back by Dumbledore and Grindelwald in the end, Ilvermorny discovered a problem.But it doesn't help.

The principal is dead, several professors have been murdered, and the remaining few are still under the control of the Imperius Curse. It is impossible for them to stay in the school and teach in the future.

Even the snake tree, the treasure of the school, was taken away by Voldemort... It can be said that it was completely devastated!
In the past, I had only occasionally heard of the name Voldemort, referring to a dark wizard in Europe who was somewhat famous, but I never paid much attention to it.

Now it is so familiar and gnashing of teeth.

And it was under such circumstances that Slada studied in school - it was like taking online classes for three years, what a quality of teaching!

In fact, before this, Ilvermorny was already very unstable internally.

Because the atmosphere in the American wizarding world has always been serious, the relationship between wizards and No-Majs is extremely harsh.

So much so that many young wizards are very disgusted with it. Even in schools, there are a group of professors and students who hate it deeply.

In the Magic Congress, conservatives and radicals are also at odds with each other.

This gave Voldemort an opportunity - he was best at exploiting the loopholes in this kind of interpersonal relationship.

In the past two years, some other magic organizations have also begun to exert their efforts, such as witch covens, magic unions, and the emergence of many magic carriers called superpowers, which have caused a lot of trouble.

Even U.S. officials are involved in the investigation, hoping to master this power... It can be said that the influence of the Magical Congress in the mainland has been greatly reduced.The heroes are divided among themselves!

Europe is not peaceful either, but compared to North America, which has always been magical, it is much more stable.

Now on the streets in the United States, people are climbing over walls and snatching armored vehicles in broad daylight.

At night, there will be this knight and that knight running around, enforcing the law on behalf of the police as they please.

The wizards all guarded the door tightly and did not dare to move.Because the officials are also waiting for an opportunity to arrest people. For so many years, they have been coveting magic power.

In this case, Utopia is simply an ideal paradise!

Stark communicates with friends through Utopia, learns about changes in other countries and regions through Utopia, searches for information through Utopia and makes friends, expresses emotions through Utopia posts, and engages in online dating by the way (although he was a little hurt, he couldn't No regrets)…

Without Utopia, he doesn't know how miserable and closed his life would be.

Now, Ted Epiphany and the others have developed one of the world's best games - "Magic World".

Stark, who had not qualified for the private beta at first, was so greedy that he went crazy, but now it is finally open beta.

He stayed up all night, chatting with netizens on the forum, waiting for the game to open, and rushing in as soon as possible.

Seeing the countdown numbers appear on the double-sided mirror in front of him, Stark put on his Utopia glasses - these were mailed from abroad by netizens.

There was a gentle white light in front of my eyes, and then my perspective turned, and I saw blue sky and white clouds, endless plains and forests, and animals foraging and playing on the green grass-lined land.

A voice sounded:
"Welcome, Adventer. Welcome to this strange magical world. This world is beautiful, but also terrible. You need to experience it all."

"Please choose your race..."

Then two rows of humanoid creatures with different shapes appeared.

The top is a red background and the bottom is a blue background.

"The free camp is formed by some unfettered forces and races. They include: demi-humans (subdivided into rabbit ears, dog ears, cat ears, mouse ears, horns, etc.), free elves, goblins, mountain dwarves, werewolves... "

"The order camp is composed of forces and races that uphold order and rules. They include: humans, demi-humans (same as above), nature elves, underground dwarves, vampires..."

Because each race has its own background story and various advantages and disadvantages, such as attribute addition and subtraction, talents and abilities, etc.

So Stark spent a lot of time looking at them one by one before choosing the dog-eared demihuman.

In fact, he wants to try being a centaur!

It’s definitely not because the whip lengthens the horse’s belly~
I just want to try the thrill of running on the ground with four hooves.

Unfortunately not!

Ted said: This can be done.However, hidden races require some special opportunities to be triggered and opened. Players are invited to explore by themselves~
After race comes profession, and there are more professions.

When it was in closed beta, there were more than a dozen professions to choose from.Various advantages and disadvantages and previous and later developments have been clearly analyzed.

However, in this open beta, there are seven or eight more professions!

However, the voice of the game guide also said that the maximum level of this 1.0 game version is level 40.

However, reaching full level is when the game really begins.

After reaching the full level and completing a series of tasks, the free mode will be opened.

At that time, the career will no longer be constrained, but will be affected by one's own learning, training, research, and development, and a personalized career will begin.In other words, there is no career anymore!
Although it is called freedom and personalization, it is actually Ted's way to let all players help him explore the path of magic and conduct magic research~
You gain freedom, I gain benefits, and we all have a bright future!

It took more than half an hour to create the character in one operation, and Stark finally entered the game.

He chose the Dog-Eared demi-human from the Freedom Alliance, whose birthplace was on the edge of a valley forest.

He followed the guide and soon began his adventure.

At this time, there were already five or six players with dog ears active near him.

There are 4600+ players like him at the same time!
It's 1 o'clock in the morning!

It can be seen that by tomorrow, the number of players online at the same time will increase dramatically!
Ted looked at all the data and felt so happy: Let's play!Have fun!Work hard to level up and fight monsters, help me gain experience!Work hard on tasks and research, help me explore the path of magic, and accumulate research experience!
If you are an experienced player in the closed beta, you may be able to download the first copy in two days.

It was a copy of the real data that Ted collected in the real world and shrouded the ideal world - the Goblin Lair!

Ted also created some wreckage, little goblins, and some women's clothing in the lair.

Well, in this subtle way, wizards will develop a great hatred for goblins.

Ted's psychic powers will also come into play, collecting overflowing psychic powers.

Ted has mastered a pistol called "public opinion"!
An invisible, yet pervasive force.

……

Everything in "The Wizarding World" proceeds according to the established trajectory, very much in line with Ted's expectations.

Now there are 5.5 players who log in every day and stay online for at least two hours, and the peak number of players online is 12!

It can be said that it is already a phenomenon-level existence in the entire magic world.

The International Federation of Wizards has sent a message through Dumbledore, which basically means that we fully support you and we will develop it together.

But Dumbledore said privately: ignore them.

Although the International Federation of Wizards is very strong, it is very strong overall.

However, it is actually a mistake to look at them as a whole.

Dumbledore, who really went deep inside and even became a member of it, deeply understood a truth - this seemingly behemoth and terrifying operating machine of the wizarding world was actually a bloated institution that was torn apart, riddled with holes, and had many factions.

Many times when one person proposes a plan, the other person will oppose it.

One person makes one claim, and another person makes another claim.

If one person identifies an enemy, the other person will deliberately get close to him.

There are also differences between the federation headquarters and various local representatives...Every person, every force, every group has its own demands.Therefore, many times you will see many strange scenes that are opposite and contradictory to each other.

While saying that great achievements have been made, the magic world has taken another big step forward.

On the other hand, there was another tragedy that occurred in a certain area. The local magic agency did not act, or even acted as a proxy. He himself was the culprit.

So Dumbledore told Ted that he didn't need to pay attention, just hold off and not express his opinion.

Ted understood what Dumbledore meant and also knew the rules of operation of the wizarding world.

I now understand the most urgent task—power!
He is already very strong now. Except for Snape, no one else in the school can be his opponent.Snape was unsure.

But now his stall has grown bigger, and he is now facing threats from all over the world.

Not to mention the International Federation of Wizards, that thing is the same as mentioned before. It looks like a huge monster with many arms, legs and heads. Although it is big, it cannot control itself, so it is not scary.

But now the changes in the whole world are too drastic.

In the past half month, Ted has collected information on at least four otherworldly invasion events.

One of them caused quite a stir. It was said that a strange pyramid appeared in Cairo, Egypt!
It just appeared overnight with a lot of praise!

What are the wizards over there studying now?It is said that with the appearance of strange pyramids, many strange monsters also appeared...

However, if Ted had more detailed information, we would be able to find some clues - the response of the Egyptian Ministry of Magic this time was too fast and accurate.

So although the pyramid caused quite a stir in the magical world, it did not cause much uproar in ordinary society.

This is not like the style of the Egyptian Ministry of Magic!
According to their past practice, they might not take any action until three to five days after the pyramid appears, when the Muggles have already driven the excavator.

After all, meetings are time-consuming~
In fact, most of North Africa at this time was already controlled by the Saints organization, that is, Grindelwald.

In the last Seven Wizards Tournament, the principal of Wagadu was crippled. Now he has been equipped with a prosthetic hand by Grindelwald and has become a glorious saint!

Speaking of which, is this Dark Lord particularly good at making prosthetics?One or two, a wonderful way to rejuvenate~
……

"Ding~ The talent [Knowledge from Another World (Gold)] was triggered and the [Healing Church Blood Healing Potion Formula (Blue)] was discovered."

[Healing Church Blood Therapy Potion Formula (Blue)] records the secret formula of the blood therapy potion used by the Healing Church in Yanan Town to treat patients.This recipe requires a high blood as a base.Patients who undergo blood therapy will eventually experience some strange side effects... It takes 250 experience points to redeem.

"Good guy! Blue quality knowledge only costs 250 experience points, which is really cheap!" Ted sighed and shook his head.

Sure enough, it is 250!

Yanan Town, blood therapy.With these two words, there is no need to say anything else.

The technical content of this thing is not high. What is really valuable is the method of diluting the "advanced blood".

The so-called advanced blood, in Bloodborne Curse, is naturally "divine blood".

But this technique can also be used with other blood.

For example, if the blood of some powerful magical animals is made into a blood therapy potion and given to ordinary people as an injection, it will also have "miraculous curative effects."Of course, the side effects are probably amazing!
Is this therapy?This is a biochemical test!
"Well, let's find a chance to make a deal with Snape in exchange for something good!"

Ted himself doesn't need this thing. After all, there are really advanced creatures, and he doesn't need to draw blood. He can just start the alchemy transformation and it's done!

The knowledge this month is not good, very average.

But it’s not a big problem, after all, research projects are beginning to backlog now.

Even if some simple and relatively easy-to-accept projects were given to Hermione, there were still many experiments waiting for her.

Players must upgrade quickly and do research early!
If it doesn’t work, I’ll increase the task rewards. Please study it for me!
I have to say, this feels great.

By secretly manipulating some small, inconspicuous numbers, you indirectly control everyone's behavior.

Therefore, the players in the game all think that they are free and their choices are determined by their own thinking.However, the impact is always subtle and subtle.

There are many problems in the game that players think are not discovered by the game officials, but in fact that is what the officials want to see!

Silly kids, you have to follow the official lead when playing games.Only in this way can you become a VIP player, at least you will not be sanctioned by the official.

As for game longevity, so be it.

……

After entering December, Vice-Principal Professor McGonagall held a meeting for the fifth grade students.

It’s about the OWLs, also known as the Ordinary Wizarding Examination Levels, that you will take at the end of this school year.

It's probably equivalent to the Celestial Examination or something like that.In short, grades are important.

Important for young wizards who want to find a good job.

Therefore, everyone began to review extremely nervously.

Once this atmosphere becomes tense, it will become more and more tense, causing some young wizards who are relatively weak in psychological stress resistance to be under great pressure and not want to eat or drink.

No, the iron hat king Hannah Abbott broke down and cried in herbal medicine class because she was too stressed - the reason was just that she weighed the wrong herbs.

This cry was so bad that at least three students were induced to cry together.They all said that they were idiots, not qualified to take the exam, and wanted to drop out of school now...

Ted doesn't understand. Why are you so stressed?

Nothing to stress about!

Even if you live as a squatter at home after graduation and stay at home for 100 years, you will not have to worry about food and clothing.

As for buying a house when getting married, that's not a problem at all. We don't care about wedding gifts or anything like that here. We just floo fans when we go out and don't need to buy a car. Where does the pressure come from? !
Based on what you think, a man from China would fly into the sky with his own words!
Of course, students.A student's job is to take exams, ah no, to study.

So there is nothing wrong with working hard, just control your mentality.

You see, even Ron and Jerry are studying hard, hoping to achieve several good results in OWLs.

Otherwise it would be embarrassing.

However, Ron and Jerry's make-up review was very ineffective.

The two struggled for a week and finally had no choice but to give up.

Ron: Jerry, forget it, a trick taught by a master can't be broken!
To review this stuff, you still have to find a few who are good at it!Playing chess with a stinky chess basket, the more you play, the stinker will get~
One time when Ron was using a power release spell, his hand slipped and the wand flew out and hit Jerry on the head.

Jerry looked at the wand on the ground, then looked at Ron: "Ron, you can consider practicing knife throwing... I'm not kidding."

Don't tell me, Ted actually developed a set of knife-throwing magic.

Mainly I want to try the controllability of Shenfeng Wuying - let Shenfeng Wuying draw a few circles and other operations.

It turns out that this thing is easier to control with physical objects.

Wouldn't it be awesome if there were a few flying knives that could cut iron like clay?
Ted demonstrated it to the two of them: "Look!"

Ted just pointed his hand and saw a faint cold light flash.A dozen meters away, a dummy's head fell off, and then a translucent alchemical flying knife floated next to Ted.

Speaking of which, this method of forging transparent flying knives was developed by a thief player in "Magic World" whose secondary job is forging.Quite creative!
Ted even thinks that we can hold a festival event in the future called the Magic Knife Forging Competition!

Held every three months, No.1 gets a huge amount of game currency~
By then, aren't those forging methods, magic alloy formulas, etc. all Ted's?

Ron and Jerry didn't care about making up for the review, they all went to learn Ted's knife magic - the spell is "Please turn around, baby~"

At this time, Umbridge proudly posted a new education order on the notice board in the auditorium.

Education Order No. 24:

No student organizations, associations, teams, or clubs are allowed at Hogwarts without the approval of High Inquisitor/Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor Umbridge.

This is to define: regular gatherings of student groups of three or more are illegal organizations.

This naturally includes tutoring groups and review groups.

Umbridge can also be regarded as a pioneer in counterfeiting lessons~
She saw that Dumbledore was not at home for a long time, so she wanted to take the opportunity to cause trouble!
