Chapter 6 The ultimate worker form!
Although he found a part-time job, Ted couldn't stop there.

Of course you have to do more than one part-time job.

Money is one thing, experience is another.

Ted actually gained some experience today when he was learning how to deal with slugs from Mr. Giggs!
Exactly 16 o'clock!
Although I dealt with fewer slugs myself afterwards, I always gained one or two points of experience by dealing with a dozen or so.

Then get a few more jobs!
Roll it up! Roll it up!
After two days, Ted had filled his free time.

I got up in the morning and helped old Tom clean up the bar, then had my simple breakfast and went to Diagon Alley to work.

In the morning it was Giggs Giggs Pharmacy, moving and processing simple medicinal materials that were in high demand.

For example, slugs, cuttings of some herbal roots and rhizomes, weighing medicinal powders, and tying up some bird feathers.

He had learned the Descaling Charm from Mr. Giggs yesterday - cleaned it up.

This spell is absolutely necessary!
Otherwise, after a whole morning, Ted would be marinated by all the ingredients of the potion!

Ted learned a lot in the pharmacy and saw many advanced potion materials.

For example, the horn of the iron-skinned rhinoceros, the feathers of the silent bird, the green sac of the giant squid, etc.

However, Mr. Giggs only told him the properties and processing methods of these drugs, and did not let him try them - this thing is too expensive, and if it goes wrong, Ted would have wasted several months' work with his salary.

After finishing Mr. Giggs's work at noon, I went to the Magical Animals Pet Shop.

Ted is responsible for cleaning, clearing up feces, feeding and adding water to the pets.

There are many amazing animals here that are safe and harmless and can be kept as pets.

There are cattails, giant orange snails, shapeshifting rabbits, jackalopes, ravens, two-tailed salamanders, giant purple toads, and many more.

Some of the requirements are more complicated, such as not being scared by loud noises and not eating foods with too much water content.

The work at noon was not easy, and Ted usually had to use the [Restore Energy (Green)] card on himself after finishing it.

After regaining my energy, I had a free lunch at the pet shop and went to Flourish and Blotts Bookstore in the afternoon.

This is where the little wizards buy their textbooks. The bookstore is very large and the catalogue is very complex.

Ted spent most of his two-hour workday sorting out the merchandise—finding certain books in the warehouse and putting them on the shelves.

The warehouse of Flourish and Blotts was very large. Ted even found some old books that were covered in dust and had not been touched for at least seven or eight years.

This job was not easy either. After get off work, I went back to the Leaky Cauldron to rest and read books. I mainly tried some simple and safe spells.

Ted didn't try spells like levitation and transfiguration.

He still remembered the story told by Professor Flitwick, who taught spells in the original book, about a man who cast a levitation spell and ended up summoning a wild bull to step on his back.

Likewise, Transfiguration is not safe, so it is best not to try it without guidance.

Wait until [Restore Energy (Green)] cools down, use it again, and then it's time for dinner.

If you buy some simple food at Old Tom's, he will usually give you a glass of butterbeer or two pies.

Old Tom: "You are still growing, so eat more to have strength."

Unlike the Muggle world, by 6 or 7 in the evening, the people in the bar gradually left. It was obvious that wizards had less nightlife.

Ted helped old Tom clean up. After the house was cleaned up, it became much easier. It just involved small tasks like arranging the tables and chairs and arranging the wine glasses.

After cleaning it many times every day, Ted even felt that this spell was so easy to use and he could do it at any time!

When he had nothing to do at night, Ted lit the oil lamp in his utility room and began to study more deeply. He took notes and recorded his questions, waiting to ask professors for answers when school started.

He also repeatedly used the several spells he had learned by himself until he felt that the magic power in his body was empty and he could no longer continue.

Magic has levels and proficiency. When the proficiency is full, it can be upgraded, and the effect will be stronger after the upgrade.

Of course, you can also use experience points instead of proficiency, and upgrade directly in one step~
Even old Tom couldn't stand Ted's diligence. He thought he was working too hard and his small body might not be able to handle it.

This person can be described as the ultimate worker in Diagon Alley and the king of involution in the wizarding world.

Not really! Ten Galleons a month, what are you playing with?
Also, you are training magic so hard, how can I, an old man in his fifties or sixties, feel?

If I had met you when I was in school, wouldn't you have crushed me to death? !
But Ted knew that he was not only in it for the money, but mainly for the experience.

My knowledge of other worlds is still waiting to be exchanged!
If you know the so-called psychic, the sooner you redeem it, the better.

...In the past two days, Ted has found several second-hand textbooks. Although they are worn out, they can still be used. There are even some notes and nonsense left by previous users on them.

It's just like drawing Du Fu in the Chinese textbook holding a Type 98K. It's just a boring thing that poor students do in class.

Now I have almost everything I need for school, such as a brass balance, a second-hand telescope, etc.

As for pets, don’t even think about it, since you don’t have anyone to write to anyway.

If you really want to send a letter, you can use the school's owl for free.

Not to mention the flying broom, flying in the sky must be fun, but I don’t want to fly in the sky with a stick stuck under my crotch.

However, it seems that first graders are not allowed to bring brooms to school.

How does Ted feel about his experience working in Diagon Alley these days?

It feels like the wizarding world has a post-medieval feel. When Muggles are already watching TV and fiddling with computers, wizards can only read newspapers and listen to the radio. Even magical radio has not yet become widely popular.

Everyone still reads newspapers and magazines every day to find out what's new in the wizarding world.

In this era of print media, the three most famous media in the British wizarding world are The Daily Prophet, Witch Weekly and The Quibbler.

The Daily Prophet mainly reports social news and is the most mainstream newspaper.

Ted borrowed the newspaper from old Tom every day.

"Witch Weekly" is the entertainment section, and Lockhart has won the "Witch Weekly" Most Charming Smile Award many times.

In addition, there is a lot of information about the wizarding world in other countries besides Great Britain.

"The Quibbler" is mainly responsible for spreading rumors, and much of its content is confusing.

It's a bit like a street stall magazine, but it sells very well.

There are probably only about 20,000 to 30,000 people in the British wizarding community today. This is probably the reason why the Statute of Secrecy exists.

The population is so small that it would be an exaggeration to call it a small society.

This is a big village!
So the village tyrant Voldemort is far inferior to Grindelwald. His vision is too narrow!

In addition to traveling around the world in Britain, Grindelwald also had grand goals. Voldemort was engaging in village fights in Britain and killing the already scarce villagers.

The population was small to begin with, and he and his Death Eaters would have killed hundreds of people in ten years! Not to mention the Muggles they killed!
……

A week passed in a flash. One day, Ted was handling medicine in the pharmacy when he heard a noisy noise on the street outside.

Through the window, I saw a lot of people gathered outside the shop diagonally opposite, pointing and talking to each other.

Mr. Giggs happened to come in from the door. Ted put down the brushed tortoise shell and asked, "Mr. Giggs, what's going on outside? Is there any store doing a promotion or discount?"

Mr. Giggs is a well-known insider in Diagon Alley, and he goes wherever there is something going on.

Especially after Ted came, the work became much easier and I had more time during the day to gossip and join in the fun.

He lifted up his wizard robe and sat down, smiling and saying, "That's a newly opened shop..."

Ted didn't respond and continued to brush the tortoise shell.

There is a layer of aquatic plants growing on the shell of the Rhode Island Mud Turtle, which needs to be cleaned, otherwise it will affect the efficacy of the medicine.

Ted didn't need to ask because he knew Mr. Giggs would not be able to help himself and would tell him himself.

Sure enough, "You will never guess what kind of store that is?!" he said.

Ted: "Oh? What store?"

"It's a blacksmith shop! It's run by a dwarf!"

Ted was stunned and stopped the brush in his hand.

Dwarf? What dwarf?
"What kind of dwarves are you talking about, Mr. Giggs?" he asked.

"They are dwarves, the short, stocky ones with long beards. They are an alien race that appeared after the stars intersected ten years ago!"

Dwarves! Stars intersect! Alien race?!
Wait a minute! What the hell is this?
