Hogwarts starts with stealing power

Chapter 73 [Knowledge seeker]

Lin Xia embedded the badge in this place, just above the sun.

There was a soft "click" sound.

The secret key immediately floated in the air, projecting a light beam and scanning it at her.

A few seconds later, lines of subtitles came from before her eyes.

[Identity confirmation, research talent——Lin Xia]
[Hogwarts Outstanding Student Badge Confirmed]
As the text turned and the light screen changed, Lin Xia saw the information about her identity.

③You can receive a restricted banned book every six months (physical book reading, reading time is one month)

③Apply for a laboratory (self-maintained, construction fee amount: one thousand gold galleons)

obligation:

①Experimental results will be published within two years

Lin Xia read word for word the subsidies she could get and the permissions she had, and suddenly thought of the rights and obligations given to her by Snape.

What a world of difference!
When she saw the "forbidden book", she was really surprised. She didn't expect Hogwarts to make such a determination.

Forbidden books, no matter how difficult they are, represent profound magic behind them.

Not every student at Hogwarts has permission to read banned books.

At least as a first-year student, Lin Xia had never heard of anyone being able to borrow banned books.

The library administrator, Ms. Pince, whom she had met many times, kept a very strict eye on the restricted book area.

Anyone who approaches the forbidden book area will receive her sharp gaze.

Lin Xia's eyes flashed slightly and she looked at the [Knowledge Seekers] column.

After clicking on [Knowledge Seeker], you can view the progress bar. The next level is [Knower], and the promotion conditions are specified. When the level treatment is increased to [3], [Knower] can be unlocked.

The benefits that [knowers] can get are not on the same level as [knowledge seekers].

Lin Xia thought about the initial identity confirmation. She was a research talent. Does that mean that the welfare benefits of combat talents are different from those of research talents?
Lin Xia thought, if possible, let's see if we can get the benefits for combat talents and get two kinds of benefits.

In addition to personal information, there are also [Task Area], [Book Area], and [Communication Area] on the light screen.

Lin Xia remembered her dean's instructions and did not visit these three areas for the time being. She settled the matters at hand that needed to be solved first.

The premise of acting within your ability is to refuse the temptation.

When a person cannot control his desires, he will be controlled by desires.

Lin Xia opened the door and walked out, opened the secret key in front of Draco, and asked, "Can you see the message?"

Draco was confused for a moment, "Huh? There's nothing!"

It seems to be open to specific people. It's really an interesting technology. Maybe it should be said to be magic?

Lin Xia took out the Outstanding Student Medal from the secret key card. Both are indispensable and must be kept well.

Medals cannot be stolen or damaged, but it does not say that key cards cannot.

Lin Xia said: "Without further delay, we will conduct a set of pharmaceutical experiments tonight. I have brought everything."

Draco couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth when he saw her taking out the experimental table, test tubes, and instruments from her small purse.

"Did you move the entire laboratory here?"

Lin Xia said matter-of-factly: "Who gave me so much space in my bag!"

Draco was speechless. He always felt that Lin Xia's little leather bag seemed to contain a whole world, and it contained everything.

……

With Draco's help, Lin Xia's experiment progressed rapidly.

Based on the inspiration in her mind, Lin Xia believed that scabies potion could be blended with sulfur to create a new scabies potion with improved efficacy.

But she has never done well at the integration step.

She believes that sulfur can replace a certain raw material in scabies potion and turn a certain step into adding sulfur.

After Draco joined, after careful analysis and research, as well as dozens of experiments, he concluded that sulfur could not replace any raw material.

"Lin Xia, why should I replace you instead of joining in?"

Lin Xia: "But scabies potion is already a very mature product. Professor Snape is right. It is a classic. I don't think it can be changed for the better.

So I thought I could simplify the manufacturing steps and use sulfur instead of one of the raw materials. "

Draco shook his head: "My family's potion factory has a line dedicated to producing scabies potion, and I have been asking them to send experimental reports in the past few days.

What you call a classic actually has many imperfections.

For example, when using it, the patient will feel a burning sensation. After the scabies disappears, the area where the scabies once grew will still be itchy for several days, making people unable to resist scratching. "

He affirmed: "Classic does not mean good. Instead of improving the production steps, it is better to start by improving the properties of the medicine. If the effect cannot be enhanced, then improve the user experience!"

Lin Xia thought about it and agreed: "I have no dead end at the moment, so why not try your other thinking."

This week, whenever she had free time during the day, she spent time in the lab with Draco.

Hermione came here once during this period and was very interested in their experiments. She felt that they could increase her proficiency in potion configuration and asked Lin Xia if she could recruit helpers.

Hermione said excitedly: "If I can help, you don't have to give me any Galleons!"

Lin Xia said she would think twice.

The main reason is that their laboratory has not been renovated yet, and everything is very simple and rough.

Three versions of the renovation drawings have been sent, and neither she nor Draco are satisfied.

Lin Xia plans to wait until the laboratory is completely built before adding more manpower. She and Draco can handle it for now.

During this period, she had two after-school classes on Transfiguration, on Wednesday and Friday nights.

Draco was very envious when he learned that she was being tutored alone by the professor, but he did not suggest that he wanted to steal the tutor.

He was self-aware that Lin Xia's transformation talent was much better than his. Even if he followed quietly, he probably wouldn't be able to understand what Professor McGonagall was saying.

It's better to continue to hold Cedric's thigh tightly, as much as you can.

……

On the other side, Lin Xia was giving his second transformation tutorial.

During the first tutoring session, Professor McGonagall did not ask her to transform, but showed her a piece of information.

Who would have thought that what Professor McGonagall showed her was an animal observation documentary!
Her original words were: “If you want to transform a creature, you must have a good understanding of the creature, including its internal structure, living habits, laws of life and death, etc.

I don't ask you to transform into a magical creature. Start with ordinary animals. The first one to transform is a lion. "

The documentary has a total of six episodes, each one hour long.

Lin Xia watched a full two and a half hours of the lion documentary that day, and there were still three and a half episodes left to watch. Professor McGonagall asked her to watch them all before Friday night's self-study.

So this week in the laboratory, Draco was usually busy configuring potions and testing them.

Lin Xia, on the other hand, was holding a large bag of potato chips, drinking blackcurrant-flavored sparkling water, and watching the documentary with relish.

Today, Friday, is the time to accept the results of watching the documentary.
