Hogwarts, a Scholar Becomes a God

Vol 2 Chapter 45: The first step in cultural integration

"What is this? Poker?" Harry, who had lost several games in a row, asked deliberately after seeing what Clark was holding.

Of course he knew it wasn't playing cards, and he wasn't Ron.

While showing the thick stack of cards in his hand to Harry and the others, Clark introduced: "This is a magic card that I invented by imitating Muggle game cards. It is still in the design stage."

Harry took a card and saw a lifelike werewolf drawn on a card the size of a poker card, howling at the moon.

Monster Card (Bronze) [Wolfman]: These are evil creatures wandering in the dark night. Every full moon night, they will transform into giant wolves and look for prey everywhere.

On the card in Ron's hand, there was an ugly monster with a wooden stick in his hand.

Monster Card (Silver) [Troll]: The trolls living in the hilly area are powerful and simple-minded. All you need to do is to avoid them far away.

"How does this work?" Harry asked curiously.

Clark smiled slightly, took out a chessboard with grass painted on it, and spread it on the table.

"This is actually very simple." Clark randomly drew a [Central] card from the deck, put it in the rectangular space on the chessboard, and motioned for Harry to put it on too.

When two cards filled the vacancies on the board, a horse and a werewolf appeared on the grass at the same time.

"You only need to issue a few simple commands, and the monster you summon will move. For example, this one: attack!"

Following Clark's order, the centaur also drew its bow and arrow, and shot at the werewolf.

And without Harry's order, the werewolf wouldn't dodge, so he stood there blankly and was shot to death by Clark's centaurs.

After the werewolf died, the card in front of Harry also popped out of the chessboard, and even the pattern turned gray.

At this time, Ron, who was looking at it with an itchy side, said directly: "Oh, what are you playing, look at me."

Having said that, he put the [Troll] card in his hand on the chessboard.

A tall troll appeared on the grassland, and with Ron's "attack", it dragged a wooden stick and rushed towards Clark's centaurs.

Looking at the troll rushing over, Clark didn't panic, just instructed the centaurs to stand on the spot and shoot. However, the troll is not a werewolf, even if it counts arrows in its body, its speed does not decrease.

When the troll rushed in front of the centaurs, Ron had a smug smile on his face, but Clark, as the inventor of the game, naturally wouldn't let him win so easily.

"Dodge, attack."

Under Clark's order, the centaurs flexibly turned around to distance themselves from the troll, then stopped, turned around and continued to shoot at the troll.

After repeating this several times, Ron's troll was in a desperate situation. However, when the troll fell, it also threw the giant stick in its hand under Ron's order, hitting Clark's centaurs hard.

"Clark, this game is so interesting!" Ron said excitedly, looking at the cards that popped up in front of him.

Of course it's interesting, after all, what child can refuse this kind of confrontational, collectible, and beautiful card game.

Even the original Clark had been addicted to "Yu-Gi-Oh" for a long time.

Looking at Harry and Ron who were flipping through the cards, a smug smile appeared on Clark's face.

Compared with the traditional and monotonous wizard chess, this kind of magic card should be more popular with young wizards. Who makes the wizarding world have so little entertainment?

But it will be more expensive.

In the wizarding world, moving portraits are also graded.

Like the most basic magic photo, it only needs a little developer potion, and it can be taken with an ordinary Muggle camera, which can be used in the cheapest newspaper.

What’s better is the little magic painting card that comes with the chocolate frog. The magic portrait in the card only has a very simple behavior pattern. It can neither think nor speak. The only advanced one is that you can leave. Framed.

As for the most advanced ones, just look at the various portraits in Hogwarts. The characters in those portraits can not only leave their own picture frames, live in other people's picture frames, but also communicate with people and have certain Memory is no different from a real person.

But this kind of high-level magic painting is only available in the long-established Hogwarts and the pure-blooded family.

Because to paint such a high-level magic painting, the artist needs to eat and live with the subject for a long time in advance, so as to grasp the essence of the subject.

Coupled with special magic paints and magic painters who have mastered high-end skills, the cost of each high-level magic painting is close to fifty gold Galleons.

And the 30 magic cards that Clark found someone to customize are only a little higher than the little magic painting cards that come with Chocolate Frog, and they also cost a gold Galleon.

Clark just estimated the cost, and knew that this set of magic cards would have to sell hardware Galleons to make a profit.

Of course, if the scale increases, the price can also be reduced to three gold Galleons.

But the entire British wizarding world is only a few thousand people, and there are only a few hundred young wizards who go to school at Hogwarts. This kind of potential consumer group~www.readwn.com~ is really too few. If you want to rely on If this is a business, I am afraid that there will be no money in a short period of time.

However, Clark is still ready to invest a little time and energy. The purpose of his invention of the magic card is to integrate the culture of the Faerun world into the card, and then subtly influence the wizards in the wizarding world. Making money is only secondary to him.

After all, the wizards in the wizarding world are unbelievers. They neither believe in God nor Merlin. They are a group of unbelievers.

Under such circumstances, it is naturally difficult for Clark to spread his beliefs, spread professional knowledge, and exalt the kingdom of God in the wizarding world.

Therefore, Clark plans to use magic cards as the first step in cultural integration, integrating the culture of gods into the card game, so that wizards, especially young wizards, can adapt to this.

Unfortunately, the image intelligence of magic cards is still too simple, and it is completely unable to adapt to more complex gameplay.

This game really wants to mature, I'm afraid it will have to wait until Clark successfully transfers.

Now, the version Harry and the others are playing is just an internal beta version.

But even in the closed beta, Harry and Ron had a great time.

Not only them, but also the Weasley twins and other little Gryffindor wizards who stayed at the school also joined in.

In the small common room, it suddenly became hot.

"Oh, why don't you come out with [Vampire], the one who can fly will definitely catch up with [Cony]."

"Defense! Defense! Look at the description of this [Dwarf Shield Warrior], saying that he is good at defense, why did you let him fight against trolls!"

"Hurry up and hide..."

The quarrel was incessant, and Clark knew that he might not want to get a good night's sleep tonight.
