Hogwarts Card System.

Chapter 399 Umbridge in action

Hogwarts, Easter dinner.

Ted pushed open the door to the auditorium and walked in.

The banquet had already started for half a day and the atmosphere was lively.

Ted found his friends and sat down.

Hermione was surprised when she saw him: "Didn't you say you had something to do? Why are you back so soon?!"

"It went smoothly, no one came to mess up, and it's done." Ted smiled.

Ted thought that things like this would always have some twists and turns. After all, it was normal to have some robberies when doing big things, right?
I didn’t expect it to be okay, maybe it was because I was deep underground and far away from God that I didn’t find him? Haha!
Hermione put food on Ted's plate with a smile on her face. Ted was indeed hungry after taking turns with the hammer for six hours.

From midnight on Easter until now, more than 20 hours have passed. I haven't eaten yet!
Hermione was very familiar with Ted, so she noticed that there was suddenly an unremarkable ring on Ted's hand.

She looked at the ring strangely. She didn't care about it at first, but she was fascinated by it unconsciously, as if the ring had some magic power that attracted her.

Ted noticed her abnormality, put his arms around her head and kissed her hard.

Hermione came back to her senses immediately, her face slightly red as she glanced at her classmates and friends around her, pretending not to care and continuing to eat.

Although everyone knew about their relationship, this was the first time they were so affectionate in public.

So, Harry grabbed Malfoy beside him and kissed him all over the face.

Malfoy still had a piece of steak stuck in his fork and had no idea what was going on.

On the other side, Neville turned his head nervously, and sure enough, Ginny had come over.

"Don't...uh!"

Jerry looked left and right, feeling very upset.

This meal is inedible! You guys are forcing me to eat dog food by the neck!
He turned his head and was about to complain to his good brother who shared the same fate, but he found him holding a two-way mirror with a "silver smile" on his face and whispering something, such as "see you in Hogsmeade this weekend..."

Jerry: Damn...Sydney, where are you? I miss you! I miss you so much~
……

There are a few days off after Easter, and after the holidays the school will provide students with advice on future career development.

After all, I'm in fifth grade.

However, this kind of employment advice is generally useless. Most of the time, they just chat with you for a few minutes and then ask you to sign a document to prove that you have completed the advice process.

When you graduate from seventh grade, you will have to sign a document proving that you have found a job.

As for whether you can find a job or not, the school does not restrict your freedom ~ but the data cannot be polluted by you!

Besides, what kind of world is this now?
If you buy a childcare building, I will beat you up and guarantee that it will educate you for the rest of your life. You've learned your lesson, so be careful.

What I mean is, in this situation of alien infiltration, all the previous experiences are of no use.

Those who give you career development advice may be sent to society as talents without you noticing.

Monsters are invading today, alien races are coming tomorrow, the acquired magic system is being revised, and the price of magic materials is skyrocketing the day after tomorrow. It is possible that the gold galleon will depreciate one day.

To be honest, it is safer to take the exam and get a stable job as an employee of the Ministry of Magic.

But as I said, good things don't happen to us. Without some connections, it really won't work.

Originally Hermione wanted to join the Ministry of Magic, but after listening to Ted's explanation of some of the relationships and context involved, her heart sank.

Although Ted could have squeezed her in, was there any point in such an institutional inclusion?

Hermione wanted to change the increasingly declining wizarding world and do something for the lower-level wizards.

But now I realize that the decline of the wizarding world is due to the Ministry of Magic and Fudge and others, which conflicts with the education I have received over the years!

She couldn't help but fall into confusion...

Young wizards like Hermione who are ambitious will be confused, but wizards like Ron will not.

The Ministry of Magic and Great Britain have nothing to do with me.

I don't expect to receive welfare, I just want to live my own life well.

So he went to the career development advice office and hastily signed the document without saying anything to the Mediterranean who provided the advice.

It saves trouble for both parties.

After Jerry was given a round of PUA and was advised that if he couldn't find a job, he might as well rent out his house and run a magic business, get married and have some children, and it would be best if he could borrow some gold Galleons from Gringotts to buy a house, his head was about to explode!
Jerry was still sober: If I listened to this advice, wouldn't my life be ruined?! What hatred do we have?!
In the secret base, Ron looked at Jerry, who was still in a state of dismay, and laughed disdainfully: "I told you a long time ago, don't listen to their nonsense."

"My family has lived here for so many generations, don't I know what this place is like? Besides, these people this year were brought in by that old toad Umbridge, what decent people can she find?"

While Ron was tightening the screws with a magic wrench, he was also applying some biological lubricant to Unit-01. This Unit-01, which was half magic machine and half magical creature, was his lifeblood.

He doesn't listen to other people's nonsense, he only cares about his own life.

Ron's words made Jerry calm down a lot - that's right, since he was sure that the other party was not a serious person, and was not the same as him, then he should just ignore what they said. There was no need to worry about it!

As for the decreasing population of the magic world, what does that have to do with us? How many years have I been in this world?

We rats can't just give birth to more children, right? You can raise them after they are born!
Why? Are we easy to bully?!
He saw Ron wearing a strange metal mask and a wire-like wig, waving a wrench and a magic welding gun in his hands, and even turning on the magic speakers.

"What are you doing?" Jerry asked.

Ron's voice came from behind the mask that looked like a welding mask, "Don't make any noise, I'm soothing the machine spirit!"

Then I heard strange metal drum beats coming from the magic speakers, as well as various mechanical sounds, gears turning, connecting rods running, jets of air, and electric currents...

Ron, holding a wrench in one hand and a welding gun in the other, began to twist his body to the beat of the drums. His movements were weird but had a special rhythm that stunned Jerry.

Ron didn't care about Jerry at this time, he was trying to please the machine spirit!

When Ron signed the document in the Career Development Advice Office in the morning, he wrote Occupation: Magical Mecha Operator, Specialty: Special Vehicle Driving - Experienced Driver!
Jerry had a strange feeling when he saw Ron moving the tools around Unit-01, which was kneeling on the ground, and stroking it rhythmically.

He suddenly remembered something: Is this Unit-01 a male unit or a female unit? He had heard Ron call Unit-01 "my great beauty" many times...

Ron: I see you don't understand at all.
And Ron's actions did not seem to be out of self-admiration, because Jerry could feel that after Ron successfully pleased the machine spirit, the feeling of Unit-01 was indeed different!

While Ron was soothing the machine spirit, Neville was cultivating his own magical plant - Super Dittany.

This is a specially cultivated, super version of Dictamni, which has powerful effects on various injuries such as external injuries, internal injuries, burns, corrosive damage, and magical damage.

Neville formulated a training plan in reality and conducted sixty-four experiments in the "Magic World". During this period, he experienced twelve character deaths and had to re-level up. Finally, he came up with a satisfactory version.

Then I started to replicate it in reality, and after failing three times, I finally succeeded!
Neville, who was always steady and cautious, was now jumping around the half-human-high Super White Fresh like an excited chimpanzee. Next to him was Ginny, who had been accompanying him in the experiment and helping him.

Although Ginny was a little fanatical when she was pursuing Neville.

Even her brother Ron said: Ginny chasing Neville is like a hound chasing a rabbit! It's so oppressive! Even if the rabbit doesn't bite it in the end, it will be scared. But it can't run away...

However, Ginny could endure the boring experiments. While others in the game were killing monsters and doing missions, she accompanied Neville to do experiments and complete daily tasks to earn materials.

When Neville and his friends were training for the arena competition, she cheered them on and provided help in any way she could.

In reality, I accompany Neville in the greenhouse to work with humus, dragon manure, various plants and seeds, and accompany Neville in his favorite plant research.

To be honest, there is not much to choose from.

Even Neville himself enjoyed it, but he was too shy and not used to Ginny's enthusiasm in public.

Ginny: That was also a declaration of sovereignty.

This is exactly what it means when a girl chases a boy, it’s easy to catch him!
Jerry's strength has greatly increased now, and he has embarked on his own path as a magic assassin.

His childhood sweetheart, Sydney, had already started working before him. She followed the "Magical Incident Handling Team" formed by Lupin to deal with monsters from other worlds and magical phenomena in various parts of Britain. She performed very well.

Jerry gave the powerful magic dagger he got from Ted to Sydney. It was very effective in dealing with monsters from other worlds.

Harley has now walked her own path in magic, and with her big sister's charisma, she has a huge number of fans in school.

Every day he drank a lot of alcohol (butterbeer), ate a lot of meat, and led his classmates to kill everyone in the game.

After his father's "unfortunate death", Malfoy began to gradually mature and become unusually calm. He combed his hair like an adult, put on a handsome suit, began to take over the family business, and contacted his previous old connections, and handled everything very well.

Sirius no longer picked on this nephew and even provided him with a lot of help.

By the way, where did old Malfoy go? Ted hadn't contacted him for a long time.

……

Because a new "reincarnation function" was updated in the game, many players at the maximum level were "reborn" and started leveling again.

So the game started to get hot again, just like when the server was first launched, or when the version update opened up level 40, everyone was leveling up like crazy.

It seems that the reincarnation function can help extend the life of the game!
However, Parker is currently studying a new feature - the home system, which will include a manor residence function.

Allow individual players, small groups, guilds, etc. to have their own manor residence.

The slogan has been thought out: "We don't fight people, we just want to give players a five-star manor~"

Of course, building and upgrading a manor costs money!
Materials cost money, right? Labor costs money? Architectural blueprints cost money? Even the land can’t be given for free!

In short - you have to pay more!

As we all know, if a game wants to extend its lifespan, then how to solve the problem of depreciation caused by the continuous increase of game coins is a big question.

If players work hard to kill monsters and complete tasks, they will have more and more game coins.

As the game official, we have to consider the issue of game currency recycling. If the recycling is slow, the game currency will increase, and eventually something serious will happen.

So, we have to find a way to get players to spend money!
Buying a manor is a good idea. If you don't have money, you can take out a loan in the game mall first! You can pay less interest, equal principal or equal principal and interest, you choose! How is it? Isn't it very humane?
The benefits of having such a gaming coin reservoir are enormous.

How can you make friends in the game when others have manors and you don't? Which girl would pay attention to you?

Besides, we can promote the "Manor of Love". There is no love without a manor!
In short, you have to buy it!
In this way, players will have the motivation to fight monsters and complete tasks, so that their great masters can gain more experience and spiritual power.

Besides, players can’t be allowed to have too much leisure, otherwise they will start to have wild thoughts.

If a player can earn an average of 32 gold coins per day, then let him spend an average of 35 gold coins per day!
So that he would not lose hope and still have to run around! Only in this way can he be honest and fight monsters and complete tasks for a long time.

After reading Parker's plan, Ted couldn't help but sigh: How despicable! Only someone as ignorant as you can come up with such a dirty trick! I like it, let's do it!
Parker: "Thank you for the compliment, Master. I will keep working hard!"

……

In late April, Umbridge received a message from Minister of Magic Fudge, asking her to go to the Ministry of Magic to see him.

Even though Fudge didn't like Ted or this new thing - Utopia, he couldn't do anything about it since the wizarding world was using it now.

Not only him, isn't Umbridge also using a two-way mirror?
After all, this thing is too convenient. Nowadays, the owl mail delivery business has become less and less, and it can only deliver newspapers or parcels every day.

Now some newspapers and magazines have begun to consider whether they can get a copy on Utopia, so that people can subscribe to the newspapers directly online, saving the trouble of printing and mailing.

If this continues, the owls that have been passed down in the magical world for thousands of years will be out of work!
Fudge has already informed that the Owl unemployment data will not be released due to the complexity of the calculations.

However, many owls with nothing to do just stop on the big tree in front of the Magic Department every day.

Umbridge was very uneasy after receiving Fudge's message.

She came to Hogwarts to make a career, but when she got here, she realized that she had been thinking too simply.

At first, he didn't think too much about it. After he understood the purpose of Fudge sending him, he planned to show off. But he was repeatedly humiliated and even had to hide in Hogsmeade to sleep at night.

Later, he felt that the goal of catching up with Dumbledore in school by improving his reputation was too ambitious, so he decided to replace McGonagall.

As the vice-principal, Mag played an important role in the school. If I replaced her, I would have great value and status.

But Professor McGonagall has been working in the school for decades, and has more than hundreds of students.

Umbridge acted as fiercely as a tiger, but only got a squib, Filch. Even the young wizards sent by the Ministry of Magic in Slytherin seemed a little divided.

After all, for the little snakes, Umbridge performed very poorly and seemed to have no value, so naturally they had to consider the issue of clinging to the thighs again. The little snakes are so real!
In the past two months, let alone trying to find ways to undermine Mag's prestige and improve my own status, I have already exhausted all my energy just fighting wits and courage with Peeves.

To be honest, she is already a bit neurasthenic. She has to drink dreamless sleeping pills every night before she can fall asleep. Her eye bags are severely sagging and she looks several years older!
Now, if Fudge gave me information and asked me about my progress, what would I say?

Ted knew that Umbridge went to see Fudge. Who told them to use their own Utopia to deliver the message?

……

Ministry of Magic, Minister's Office, Fudge and Umbridge.

"Umbridge, I know you are not doing well right now, and I can forgive you for what happened. But I have a task for you that must be completed!"
