Hogwarts Card System.

Chapter 381 Some People Are Like Salted Duck Eggs

Utopia, "Magic World", Shadowfang Keep dungeon in the beta version.

"Be careful, there is a castle wolf den ahead, with many werewolves and ghost wolves. Neville will use his skills to freeze them in a moment. The son of Arugal here has a skill that can cut your health in half in an instant..."

Harley looked at Ted and said, "Keep an eye on the blood! If the T falls, we're done!"

"Don't worry!" Ted answered confidently.

Harry nodded: "Hermione, keep an eye on Ted. If he runs away first, cast an ice ring on him and pin him to the ground, so that he will die first!"

"What are you talking about? How could I do such a thing?" Ted was furious. Seeing his friends staring at him, he stopped talking. "It was just an accident last time. I can't let this equipment go to waste. A staff with +12 healing is very rare!"

In this game, Ted plans to break through himself and personally experience the performance and differences of his experimental results in the "game", and be ready to make adjustments at any time.

So, this time he played a nurse profession - priest. Pure priest, basically no combat power. Add buffs, add blood, remove negative buffs, set shields and so on.

Because it is a beta test server, Ted has set up a one-life mode to increase the difficulty of the game. If you die, your character is dead and cannot be resurrected! No matter what level of equipment, it's all over.

So everyone played very carefully.

Of course, because of ten times the experience and ten times the explosion rate, it is also very easy to start a new character.

Now, the most skilled ones can train a new character to level 25 in just five hours!

In the last dungeon, Ted and his team had only completed one-third of the way through the dungeon when a loophole appeared... Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Ted turned around and ran!

He was the only one among the six people who was supposed to add blood but ran away.

Hence the current scene.

Speaking of which, if there was a chain now, Harry could tie Ted to Hermione's belt!
A six-man team, Na'vi professional Paladin, main tank, resistant to damage, and attracting hatred.

Harley Warrior, mainly responsible for physical output, can serve as a sub-T at critical moments.

Jerry is a thief who specializes in scouting, sneak attacks, lock picking, and single-point physical output.

Ron is a magic warlock, a branch profession of the warlock. He can summon his own specially made magic robot~, which is considered a composite profession with both magic damage and summoning.

Hermione is a mage, majoring in ice and minoring in arcane, focusing on control and group magic damage.

Finally, there is Ted’s pastor.

No one played this profession at first, because it was impossible to kill monsters without a leader. Others were fighting three, but you couldn't kill one. It was too slow to level up, and you lacked means to cause damage. It was just a fight with the monsters!

But later everyone found that this priest is very useful after upgrading. Not to mention the pure priest, the auxiliary and blood-adding effects are extremely great. The priest also has a branch, the shadow priest, which is the one that reverses all positive effects and has a lot of disgusting debuffs!
Pure priests can also complete a profession-specific task and gain the "resurrection" skill!
Don't you have to restart the game when your character dies? If there is a priest who can revive you, then you don't need to do that! At most you will lose some experience!
This discovery instantly gave the priest profession an epic upgrade.

And this resurrection is the result of Ted's recent research.

Wasn't he studying the soul some time ago? He has made some progress recently.

Although he had conducted many experiments on magical animals, it was still very unsafe without human experiments.

So, Ted wanted to try it in the game. Although there is definitely a gap between this and real resurrection, it doesn't matter, because there are at least hundreds of deaths in the game every day, and a large amount of data is collected, which is better than doing a few human experiments in reality!

Just yesterday, in response to the calls from netizens, Ted released another 500 internal test accounts.

Some people have already started thinking about secondary jobs, such as shaman potions, alchemy, mechanics, herbal medicine, feeding magical creatures, leatherworking, forging... After all, not everyone is suitable for combat.

There are even a small number of players who don’t like fighting or being busy, and they just check in at various beautiful scenic spots in the game!

I am keen on exploring this half-finished magical world, exploring those uninhabited magical places, and then posting them online!
Although there are already 700 players, there are still many people who cannot join the game, and they are crying out in frustration!
Ted has announced on the official website that "Magic World" will be fully open for testing after Shadowfang Keep is conquered.

As for Shadowfang Keep, the team with the highest progress has already reached three-quarters of the way.

They were a group of young people in their twenties who had just graduated and were addicted to games for more than ten hours a day.

You may say that they are wasting their lives, but they are so addicted to the game that they can unexpectedly enhance their control over magic in reality. Some spells that are very close to reality can even help you increase your control over the spell.

Some wizards even tried the precious potion formulas they obtained in the missions in real life, and found that they really worked! It turned out to be true! The game officials put the real and precious potion formulas in the game for everyone to learn!

Up to now, some people have begun to try to recreate some of the magic in the game in reality.

After all, magic is the embodiment of the wizard's will, so as long as the magic effect is not too outrageous, it is really possible to achieve it!
The magical world that had long since stopped spinning like a rusty windmill actually began to creak and turn again because of the utopia.

Oh, by the way, if the intensity in the game were the same, even if there were a thousand werewolves in Shadowfang Keep in reality, they would have all been killed by now.

So, in fact, they were resurrected after being killed!
Ted created a mirror world through the shroud of Utopia, imprisoned their souls in the Utopia world, and controlled them like the creator.

It can make them live, it can make them die, it can make them stronger, it can give them abilities and increase their levels...

These werewolves couldn't even sense Ted's existence, couldn't sense that they died dozens of times a day, couldn't sense that they were being controlled, couldn't sense the words that Ted stuffed into their heads... They thought that their wolf lives were their own, but in fact they were not.

Now Ted even tried to add the souls of the fallen into the game, trying to create new monsters in the Shadowfang Keep replica. After all, there are not enough werewolves, and they can't reproduce, so someone has to be killed. It won't work if there are not enough to kill!
……

There is a Quidditch match in mid-November, and things start to get lively now.

But now, because of the "Wizarding World", there are hardly any students in the school except for classes, and the attention to Quidditch has dropped to its lowest point in history.

Professor McGonagall was very annoyed by this and introduced many policies, but unfortunately to no avail. After all, not everything can be changed by policy, and many people cannot learn to respect the objective laws of the operation of things.

Although students nowadays are focused on studying how to become stronger in the game and how to get some good equipment, Quidditch has been the only sport in the wizarding world for hundreds of years, and it is deeply rooted and still has people watching it.

Not to mention that Quidditch players from each college still have to participate in training and prepare for the competition.

This is often the time when the various colleges have friction with each other.

This year is no exception. Because of the pitch training, Gryffindor and Slytherin had friction again.

Afterwards, a despicable Slytherin attacked a girl from the Gryffindor team from behind. With a hair-growing spell, the girl turned into a golden monkey! Her eyebrows were a foot long! Her face was covered with hair!
It must be said that Ted's influence on Hogwarts has been profound. For various reasons, mainly the introduction of Utopia, students have been given a very strong research atmosphere. In particular, many young wizards like to try to improve and create spells in Utopia.

Someone has tried the "hair removal spell" before! There was really no hair left on the whole body!

Finally, after more than a dozen young wizards had their heads shaved for more than a week, they finally developed a hair removal spell that retains eyebrows, eyelashes and hair!
This is much more convenient and economical than applying hair removal potion every month! And it lasts for a long time. After one spell, no hair grows for half a year. It's smooth and feels good - I mean legs!
This Long-Haired Curse was also a modified version of the same curse, and the effect was very powerful. When he was sent to the school hospital, Madam Pomfrey shook her head and said that he would have to stay in the school hospital within three days.

A student suggested using a hair removal spell to counter it, but it was rejected. This kind of spell confrontation can be quite intense, and it is dangerous to do this to a person. It is better to spend a few more days to let the spell's effects dissipate.

Because of this incident, the Lion Court and the Snake Court started filming again!

As soon as both sides drew their wands, Snape appeared. Facing the testimony of the fourteen Gryffindor witnesses, Snape blocked them all with his thick skin.

The little lions saw the little snakes proudly following their dean.

Surely this matter can't just end like this?
Fight! If you don't come, you are a turtle in the black lake!

The little lions are still there cheering and boosting morale - do you want to be a coward for the rest of your life, or be a hero, even for just one minute!

The Slytherins had no intention of following the rules, but instead planned to take action in advance and ambush the little lions on the road they had to pass.

When I contacted him, he was not there!
The organizer finally caught a little snake that quit the game and came out to pee.

"Follow me now and ambush Gryffindor!"

"Um... next time! Next time! I just encountered a wild boss in the game and my teammates are waiting for me. I'll definitely do it next time!"

Slytherin saw that this was not a good idea. If he went to the appointment, he would be torn apart by those Gryffindor thugs!

This fight is cancelled. No! Let's change the battlefield! At the gate of the main city of the magic world, let's have a group PK!

There's no professor to supervise us, and we don't have to worry about getting hurt. Let's give it a try, do you dare?
Otherwise, why do people say that Slytherins are more cunning? They clearly don't dare to keep the appointment, but they insist on changing the battlefield.

Sure enough, when it comes to fighting in the game, there are a lot of people!
Both sides lined up at the main city gate, with a total of fifty or sixty people!
In reality, Umbridge had ambushed the fight site with a few students who had joined her, hoping to capture them all in one fell swoop and increase her authority. They waited until the moon came out...

……

In the game, the little snake and the little lion were talking trash to each other across the avenue at the city gate. The scene was very lively!
There must be hundreds of people watching the fun!
Many wizards who have graduated for many years or are from abroad have never seen such a scene. It is so novel. There are even wizards selling snacks on one side - these are players who have learned cooking as a secondary job.

They don't fight monsters, but rely on "doing business" to save money and buy from other players.

Among the crowd, Ted and Snape were watching this "Hogwarts Martial Arts Conference" quietly.

Ted handed Snape a handful of spiced melon seeds. Snape took it expressionlessly, tried to eat one, and then felt the magic power recovering faster.

He glanced at Ted... He still couldn't understand how Ted could have created something like Utopia? It was simply creating a virtual world made of magic!

However, Ted and Snape were disappointed. They trash-talked each other for several pages but refused to fight. On the one hand, there were guards at the city gates, and those who fought would be arrested and put in a small dark room.

On the other hand, it is really painful to die!

Finally, the two sides decided to play a 5v5 round-robin match. The one who is left at the end is the winner, and the loser will stay away from them!
Ted: Good man, the third quarter? Doesn't that mean we're retreating to Hogsmeade?!

Neville went into battle as the Lion Court No. 1, shouting, "China's No. 1 sword, the White Emperor's Holy Sword, follow me on the sword! Ulla~"

His whole body was shining with golden light, and he slashed and killed indiscriminately. Relying on the Paladin's tenacity and his own toughness, he managed to kill two and wore down one.

Well, don't read the rest.
……

That afternoon, the internet-addicted team finally reached the final boss “Arugo”!
This Arugal was "created" by Ted himself. He has moderate strength, but is also quite difficult to deal with.

Finally, after twelve minutes of fierce fighting, with six members of the seven-man team killed, they finally killed the boss who could flash away at any time, cast spells on a large group, and use shadow arrows on a large group - in fact, Ted had already informed Parker to lower the difficulty because it was time for a public beta.

Parker issued an announcement that the game will be updated tonight and the public beta will be launched tomorrow!

The forum exploded immediately!

A video of a team of internet addicts defeating Arugal with great difficulty was pinned to the top of the post. In just five minutes, it had more than 300 comments.

In addition, there are some other recent posts.

"Help, we let a werewolf run away, and it attracted half of the castle's monsters, otherwise the first kill would be ours! How can I beat my Shabi teammates to get rid of my hatred!"

《Breaking news! According to reliable information, the research and development system will be opened in the public beta version of "Magic World"! This virtual world is becoming more and more real! 》

《Shocked, I found a hidden task! How to open the favorability of the hidden NPC Red Dragon Anna! 》

……

An hour later, the game was closed. The little wizard, who had been immersed in the magical world for more than half a month, was a little uncomfortable and looked at the real world in front of him with a little unfamiliarity.

Ted took off his gaming glasses and looked at the scenery outside the window. There was no green left in the Forbidden Forest. Almost all the leaves had fallen off, and it was all gray.

At this time, Hermione's paper crane arrived. After opening it, it said: I won't go tonight. I need to review and prepare for the exam in a month.

"Strange, why not use a two-way mirror? It would be much more convenient to talk on the phone."

Maybe it's the mood. After all, sometimes words are more powerful.

Ted began to reply:
"When I saw your words, I was completely defeated. I threw down my weapons and armor. The second I saw your words, I was sweating all over, my whole body was cold, and my Jade Jade Syndrome suddenly attacked. Life seemed to have lost its color. I was like a Saiyan whose tail was caught, a person with the ability of seastone, a Jinchūriki who had been separated from the tailed beast, and an Ultraman without light..."

Ted: Just in time for the experiment tonight!

As a result, Ted, who was about to do an experiment, welcomed Hermione.

"Didn't you say you couldn't come? Do you want to review?"

"How is it? Are you surprised?!" Hermione shook off her skirt, her little face flushed with rosy red.

Ted: “This outfit…”

Hermione: "Do you like it? I bought it from a Muggle lingerie store~"

"like!"

Let's say: Some people are like salted duck eggs, white on the outside, but yellow and oily on the inside.
……

Meanwhile, in Egypt in North Africa, Grindelwald, who had not been heard from for many days, was chatting cordially with the Egyptian Minister of Magic.

The Egyptian Minister of Magic, with his head covered, kissed his ring very respectfully.

There were many wizards standing around, some of whom were already in their seventies or eighties.

These are the backbone of the Saints!
While Dumbledore was fighting Voldemort, Grindelwald was not idle either.
