Hogwarts Card System.

Chapter 280 Christmas Gift~
The exam will not be late just because you play games.

But fortunately, my friends are now at a pretty good level.

It’s just that people like Jerry, Ron and Neville haven’t realized that they are already excellent students.

The exams are over and light snow is falling from the sky, as if scattering paper money to say goodbye to the last semester.

Christmas is just a few days away, and then it will be the next year.

Ted stood on the covered bridge outside the castle, watching the snowflakes grow larger and gradually fill his vision.

I have been here for almost three years, from 1991 to now.

It seems like there is no gain from all the busyness. When did I, a young man who just lies down to rest, get so nervous?

Is it true that the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility?
At this time, Hermione walked out of the castle.

She wore a small fluffy hat on her head, knitted gloves hugged to her chest, and a few notebooks floated around her.

Now that the exams are over, she should focus on the Wizarding Card Game again, right?

Although Ted is often more hardworking than Hermione, Hermione is the one who truly loves learning.

However, Hermione walked up to Ted but did not ask how he did in the exam or about the development of Utopia.

She just stood beside Ted, quietly looking at the snowy scene, and spoke after a long while: "Come to my house next year during the holidays. My father has been waiting for you for two years..."

Ted smiled and said, "Okay."

……

A week before Christmas, Professor McGonagall began to compile a list of students who would remain in each college.

The number of students staying on campus this time is a bit unexpectedly large, a bit abnormal.

Although she knew that Ted was going to launch their magical game Utopia during Christmas, she could never imagine that so many people would stay at school during the holidays just to be the first to play this game.

And Ted has reconvened the development team to start the final optimization and improvement...

It was a bright Christmas morning and Ted was sitting on his bed looking out the window.

Although the weather is nice and sunny, Christmas always feels a little lacking without snow.

Ted pulled out his wand, waved his hand and opened the window, "Snowstorm~"

A beam of magic light from the top of the wand pierced the sky, and then clouds appeared bit by bit, covering the entire castle. A few dozen seconds later, tiny snowflakes fell from the sky.

A localized, castle-wide weather spell was completed.

The sky and the earth seemed to have turned into a small landscape in a crystal ball, the kind that would snow if you shook it.

Ted turned around and saw his roommate staring at him in amazement, his mouth so wide open that he could even see his tongue.

The cold air from the open window woke them up, and they saw that Ted had arbitrarily changed the weather - a meteorological spell covered the entire castle in snow.

Terry Boot asked with a little stutter: "T-Ted, what did you just use, was it a weather spell?"

Ted nodded. "I'm sorry for waking you up."

He waved his hand, and the window closed automatically. He pointed his wand, and the fire in the fireplace started. The temperature quickly rose.

Ted's three roommates always felt that although they lived in the same house with Ted, they were in a different world.

Although I know that many of the things he has done are beyond my imagination and are not on the same level as ordinary little wizards like me.

But after seeing this very cleverly controlled meteorological snowfall today, I truly realized how big the gap is - no, I don't know how big it is at all, I just know that it is so huge that I can't even imagine it.

Generally, this kind of weather spell, even when used by some elite wizards, is only a very small one, such as a strong wind affecting a street, or rain.

But Ted was able to change the atmosphere of the entire castle with ease, and his control over the range was very precise.

However, the snow did not stop until the evening, and it was then that they realized that this matter was even more outrageous than they had imagined.

……

Come out after a thousand calls!
The Christmas dinner at noon is still a long way off, but dozens of students who stayed on campus have already gathered in the auditorium.

Although many of the young wizards from the project development team have arrived, Ted and his main creative team have not yet arrived.

A week ago, they conducted two rounds of emergency testing and finally confirmed that it was successful. So they planned to give Utopia to all students as Christmas gifts on Christmas Day.

Now, the little wizards are all looking forward to it.

Finally, a young wizard rushed into the hall and shouted, "Here they come! They're coming!"

He is coming, he is coming, he is coming with gifts~
Ted was the first one. He was not wearing a wizard robe, but casual clothes. He looked a little thin, but he was no longer afraid of the temperature.

Behind them were Harry and Neville, each holding their own chess pieces or props, followed by Ron, Jerry, Hermione and others...

"Wow~" The little wizards stood up at the same time and rushed forward as if they had seen an idol group.

But as Ted raised his hand, everyone stopped where they were - they "suddenly remembered" that large-scale events were forbidden to crowd, so as to avoid being trampled. But their little faces were red with excitement, and they all applauded at the same time. The applause was so loud that it felt like they were in the Sorting House.

"Classmates!" Ted automatically achieved a similar effect without using a loud voice.

This is a simple application of psionic powers.

That's right, he has upgraded his Psion to level 9, and after working hard to get enough experience.

Now with his 9th-level psychic power, he feels that he doesn't need to think about how to do many things, but instead the desired effect will appear naturally.

The so-called heart to heart
"Our entire Utopia development team, with 26 people working hard for three months, finally completed the magic game Utopia on Christmas. Now, please allow me to introduce it to you..."

Ted's words flowed from everyone's ears to their hearts like flowing honey, so moving that people couldn't help but want to listen. Everyone listened to Ted's words in silence.

He first talked about the original idea of ​​the whole project - of course he couldn't say that he wanted to take advantage of your spiritual power for free, but he just said that he wanted to enrich everyone's extracurricular life and let everyone play games in an entertaining and educational way.

The most basic magic principle of this magic game is constructed based on the supersensory spell + daydream spell.

The Super Senses spell is a spell that enhances the user's five senses. This spell cannot be used by ordinary people.

Because it takes a lot of practice over a long period of time to get used to this temporarily enhanced perception.

Otherwise, if you use it suddenly, it is easy to experience phenomena such as "motion sickness" and "3D sickness".

The daydream spell is similar to an illusion spell, which can be used to construct some imaginary scenes around you.

Both of these spells are niche spells.

The first ESP spell was specifically chosen by Sirius to teach his goddaughter.

Neville and Harry have already incorporated it into their combat systems, and only then did Ted know that there is such a spell called "combat wizard".

The latter one was a completely ignored spell, which Ted discovered from a large amount of information in the library, and then he consulted many pure-blood families before finding this spell.

These two spells are nothing special, but when combined with the psychic power that Ted inflicted on the bottom layer of the utopia - mental imagery, it becomes a different story!

If Utopia was only considered a magic augmented reality game during the internal beta test, it is now a virtual reality game!
Moreover, Ted added contract magic into the underlying rules of magic to ensure control over the entire game.

"First, we will provide the basic props required for the game. Magic chess pieces and wizard cards, which correspond to two different game modes. We will give everyone the initial chess pieces and blank cards..."

Ted: Although the tutorial levels in the game will give you some initial props, if you want to play smoothly, please pay for it!

In fact, Ted has designed three ways to become stronger in the game, and the first one is to spend money!

For example, buying more game pieces to train, buying more blank cards to burn, building your own deck earlier and so on.

After charging money, you have to provide people with convenience!
It's already very conscientious of me not to sell my combat power.

As for those game manufacturers who treat you like a pig even after you pay money, I suggest you stay away from them.

Besides spending money, the next step is to spend money diligently!
You have to give players who don’t spend any money or spend very little money some way out, right?

For example, in the tutorial level, you will be given blank chess pieces and wizard cards, depending on the type.

Then there are many adventure modes and story modes, and there will be rewards for completing them.

Weasley Twins: Welcome to the world of Dark Souls~
Do it daily and accumulate for a period of time, and you can get a lot. Although it is slower than krypton gold players, the final result does not depend on how much krypton gold you spend.

To be honest, Ted doesn't care about the money. He just wants to enjoy the process.
And finally, the route that Ted most hopes the little wizards will take is to be attentive!

That's right, as long as they are more focused and more attentive, they will be able to form chess pieces faster and stronger, build cards, complete adventures, and experience stories. Defeat other players... After all, this is idealistic magic! Create happiness with your heart~
In this way, you can gain more spiritual power.

In short, if you spend money, I will charge you.

If you are a hard worker, I will collect your experience.

If you put your heart into it, I will take your spiritual power.

Win-win-win! Already won!

Ted took out a few fist-sized metal pieces and threw them on the table, and they turned into a 1.5 meter x 80 meter metal plate.

A plate of fairy magic silver metal plate coated with fine gold, with alchemical arrays and magic runes engraved on it as thin as hair.

Just put your hand on it to start the game.

The first batch of little wizards held their chess pieces and pressed them on the game board.

The next moment, they appeared in a strange world.

In front of me was a huge stone-paved square, not far from me was a huge crystal building, and behind me was a huge strange magical animal with a small house on its body. Many goods were hung on its body, and there was also a fat merchant next to it...

Colin Creevey stared blankly at everything around him, not knowing what to do.

There were four other young wizards beside him, all looking confused, including Ron's sister Ginny and his good friend Luna.

At this time, a sweet female voice suddenly appeared: "Welcome to Summoner's Rift, I am the newcomer guide..."
