Hogwarts Card System.

Chapter 1: Owl Letter Shatters the Dream of a Rich Man
This is a cramped, shabby, dimly lit room. Judging from the degree of peeling on the walls, it was probably last maintained more than ten years ago.

The same goes for the four old wooden beds and the table next to them, which are almost covered with patina - anyone who looks at them will get a sense of vicissitudes of life.

This is a room on the second floor of St. Mary's Orphanage in Camden, London.

St. Mary's Orphanage has a history of nearly two hundred years since its establishment.

As the name suggests, it was originally an orphanage under the church.

However, these days, the church's business is not very good, which has caused the orphanage's finances to be very tight.

After looking around and then at his tender white hands, Ted was sure that he had traveled through time, and it was his soul.

The current time is June 1991, 6. I am in an orphanage in London. I am an orphan and I am 30 years old.

What is certain is that I have a golden finger, because there seems to be a ball of golden light in my mind. As long as I concentrate, I can get the information - the system is starting...

His current name is Ted Epifani.

Tedre contains the meaning of the supreme gift.

Epiphany means Epiphany, and also means enlightenment.

The orphanage nun gave Ted this name because she dreamed of someone talking to her on the night of Epiphany, January 1.

I can't remember the specific content of the dream, but when I woke up and opened the door, I saw newborn Ted in his cradle at the door of the orphanage.

Epiphany, also known as the Feast of the Epiphany, comes from the Greek word epiphaneia, which literally means "to appear" or "to be known to the world", meaning that "Jesus revealed his divinity to the world three times". It has a very important position in Christianity.

So Mammy thought it was a good omen, adopted him and named him Ted Epiphany.

It roughly means "the sacred gift of Epiphany".

……

"Ahaha~ I've traveled through time~ What a wonderful thing~" Ted leaned against the headboard of the bed with his hands behind his head, laughing happily at himself.

St. Mary's Orphanage is not in good financial condition, or to put it bluntly, it is not far from bankruptcy.

Religion is now in decline. Since the Declaration of the Rights of Man in 1789, religion has become secularized.

After more than two hundred years, although churches are still everywhere, they are completely different from before.

If in ten or twenty years, the priest wants to be on the news, he will have to do it with the little boy.

So although they won't starve in the orphanage, it's a bit far-fetched to say that they have balanced nutrition.

Ted touched his ribs and found the two ribs very clear.

There's no need to complain. What is there to complain about if I can live again?

But the current situation needs to be improved a bit. People with malnutrition can't grow tall.

Find a way to get some money, not too much, just enough to improve the food.

"Tsk, this isn't going to be easy." Ted thought about it for several minutes and realized that the situation was not good.

Given my current situation, I am unable to work and no one wants to be a child laborer.

You can't just go begging, right?
Eh~ There are no resources I can use... What can I use? What do I have now?
He suddenly remembered something and turned his head to look at the corner. There were some trivial gadgets and personal items, as well as a guitar that was so old that the paint was worn off!
This guitar can be considered a veteran in the orphanage. It was given to an orphan by a kind couple about seven or eight years ago.

The orphan gave his guitar to a younger orphan before being adopted.

After the orphan was adopted, the guitar was given to Ted's roommates, but Ted's roommates were also lucky enough to be adopted by other people, so they left the guitar to Ted.

This guitar has been passed down six or seven hands, it's like an heirloom in the orphanage!
There were four wooden beds in this small room, but the other three roommates were adopted, leaving me alone.

Ted picked up a small round mirror and looked at himself. The child had fair skin, delicate features, and bright eyes. He was very cute.

It shouldn’t be!

Oh, I see.

Black hair, black eyes, yellow skin, Asian, or Chinese.

Well, there is a big difference between the Koreans, the Japanese, or the Southeast Asians and the Chinese. At least Ted can see it.

"Well, don't count on being adopted. Just start your own business!"

As you get older, the chances of being adopted become lower.

Ted took the guitar and strummed a few strings to test the sound, and it worked.

After tuning it, try playing it.

To be honest, this old guitar was a bit too big for his 11-year-old body, and he was not much taller than the guitar.

But it’s good to have it. Street performing is better than begging.

……

The next day, the golden finger still did not change.

Ted found an old city map, and after recalling his limited experience of going out, he began to think about the location of his street performance.

I can't go too far. My small body can't walk too far. Safety is the first priority. I can't go to a place that is too chaotic. I don't want to improve my food, but get abducted instead.

The second choice is a place with a lot of people, preferably a place where people can relax. Places with too few people or where people are in a hurry to do things are not good choices.

Fortunately, there is a famous Camden Market in the Camden district where I live. I can choose a place nearby and sing and play the guitar by myself.

I hope the masters and ladies in London can be kinder.

But don't be too kind and don't be too stingy with the poor.
It took twenty minutes to convince the nanny. After all, it was close - just a dozen minutes' walk, and the security was not bad.

With the orphanage in such a state now, she could only feel touched that Ted wanted to help supplement the family income.

Mammy accompanied Ted on the first day. She played and sang for more than three hours and only stopped when her throat couldn't take it anymore.

Income £4 35p.

This is probably enough for two or three KFC meals these days.

After all, an 11-year-old boy singing and playing on the street is quite eye-catching.

Thanks to his previous life, Ted can play and sing well. Most children have good voices.

And Ted is quite familiar with some classic European and American songs.

So there were many kind ladies and ladies who lent a helping hand.

Praise them ~ May they all have twins!

On the way back, Ted and Mammy bought a lot of cheap fruits and vegetables.

Mammy was overjoyed. "Little Ted, I never expected this, I never expected this... This will make me feel much more at ease."

I didn't expect Ted had such a skill. At least after leaving the orphanage in a few years, he will have a skill to make a living.

Mammy and four or five other people had to take care of dozens of children in the orphanage, ranging from one or two years old to teenagers. Even if they cared about Ted, they could only ensure that he had enough food and was not bullied.

You ask her if she knows that Ted can play and sing, and she only knows that Ted likes to play the old guitar. As for who he learned it from, she doesn't know, and it doesn't matter.

After a few days, Ted was already familiar with the route, and Mammy was relieved that she didn't need to follow him every day.

These two days, Ted took some time to find some old newspapers and magazines and simply confirmed the situation.

Very good, I didn't see any historical changes.

The times of World War I and World War II, as well as some major events, have not changed.

In other words, he was reborn in London, with a cheat code system that was always restarting—and his boot speed lagged behind 100% of users nationwide.

Even if I don't have this golden finger, with my understanding of the future, I will never be wrong!
Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Tesla...Wuhu takes off!
"Haha, I will be a millionaire in the future and achieve financial freedom by lying on banknotes~"

Ted picked up another old newspaper from last year and began to browse through it.

There was no useful information, but I did see an urban rumor in the corner of the fourth page.

It is said that a few drunkards saw a half-man, half-goat monster with horns on its head in the wild outside the city? !
You see, even big newspapers need sales.

You might as well just say there is a succubus outside London, then the sales will definitely be great.

The title is:

《Shock! There is such a gorgeous monster outside London?》

"Why does a middle-aged man's legs become weak after he wakes up from drinking?!"

"Beware! Don't go to the suburbs if you have kidney problems"

Direct sales champion~
For several days, Ted earned a good income. He used most of it to buy groceries for the orphanage, leaving some for himself as pocket money.

It was not until July 7th, when Ted returned from closing his stall at the market. He had no time to catch his breath or put down the guitar on his back when he heard someone knocking on the window.

Ted was shocked: This is the second floor!

When I looked closely, I saw that there was an owl outside the window.

It was holding an envelope in its mouth and looking at itself curiously!

Ted took a deep breath and carefully opened the window.

The owl hopped in and dropped the letter on the windowsill.

Ted reached out carefully, and seeing that the other party had no intention of speaking, he picked up the letter and took a look - the envelope was made of thick parchment, and the address was written in emerald green ink:

"Mr. Ted Epiphany, St. Mary's Orphanage, Camden, London."

No stamps were affixed.

Turning it over, the envelope had a red wax seal on the opening, bearing an emblem: a shield with a capital "H" surrounded by a lion, an eagle, a badger, and a snake.

Ted looked at the letter in his hand and knew that his dream of becoming a millionaire might be shattered.

But it doesn’t matter, because the wizard dream is here!
Dear friends, a new journey begins again~ Wuhu, take off~
