Hogwarts: This Dark Lord is so evil.

Chapter 317 Merlin's briefs! The progress bar actually moved!
"If that's the case, then what should we do to continue to make all this happen?" Flitwick asked excitedly.

Li Weide shook his head. "In fact, we don't need to do anything at this stage. Moreover, your current task is not to get involved in these things too early, but to study hard and become an excellent person first!"

"Really... we don't need to do anything? What if..." Flitwick said with some concern.

Levid waved his hand. "There's no such thing as a surprise. From the moment Grindelwald reformed the Ministry of Magic, the years of silence in the wizarding world were broken. The wheel of history has begun to roll forward... This is a trend! When interests move people, there will always be bold people who launch the first wave of attacks."

"These people will definitely fail, but failure doesn't mean they'll gain nothing! They just need to take a bite out of these lucrative pure-blood families, and they'll be full!"

"As long as someone takes the lead, as long as someone benefits from it, there will be a constant stream of people following suit! It's impossible to stop!"

"But we must understand that the Pureblood family has held a monopoly for many years, and their power is deeply entrenched. Even if attacked by a large group, this behemoth will not fall in a short period of time! This war is destined to be a long one."

"However, this is a good thing for us, because we can use this time to slowly accumulate strength and grow... By the time we grow up, the time will be almost right..."

"There is no construction without destruction... If the wizarding world wants to undergo change, it will have to go through a reshuffle. I think that by then, the situation in the wizarding world will be completely different."

After Li Weide finished speaking, his companions started discussing again.

Tom, who was in the distance, remained silent. He admitted that at this stage in this transformation, there was really nothing he and his people could do...

However, although these people can't do anything, Li Weide can!

Tom was sure that with this guy's ability, he would definitely make a fortune during this period!

Otherwise, why has he been working day and night on various researches and inventing various potions and alchemical products?

No, this guy was always doing experimental research when he first entered school...

In other words, this guy had already started planning to do this when he first entered the wizarding world?
Basilisk breeding, flying brooms, new potions...

Tom took another breath. There was no doubt that this guy had already prepared for the situations that were about to happen!

And…given his personality, would he really tolerate others rushing in first to eat the meat? Absolutely not!

If Tom guessed correctly, this guy would definitely be behind the first wave of attackers!

Otherwise, why did he choose to hide all the new things he had created, not sell them, but only sell one or two potions through Professor Slughorn?
Because Professor Slughorn is also a pure-blood and has a lot of connections, those pure-blood families will not react or suppress his business if he sells new potions through Professor Slughorn... But other things are different.

As for why he didn’t hide them all, it was of course because Levid still needed gold galleons to support his early experimental investment.

By the way, he also did business in the Muggle world in partnership with his grandfather and father!

Tom hasn't seen his father for a while now. Ever since he started working with Li Weide, both his father and grandfather have been busy all day long...

However, the family business has also been elevated to a higher level because of this. After all, the products provided by Li Weide are magical products, and their efficacy is unquestionable...

"Destruction leads to construction, I understand." Flitwick jumped down from the tree stump. "I will definitely study hard! I hope I can participate in the construction of the new world in the future!"

"Very good, very energetic!"

After chatting with everyone for a while, Li Weide decided to go back and rest.

He has been busy with research these days and has hardly slept a wink.

He saw Tom at the door.

"We actually have quite a few pure-blood wizards among our members... Your actions are digging the graves of the pure-blood families. They are all stakeholders in this, so are they really willing to follow you forever?"

Li Weide smiled and said, "Why should I force those who are unwilling to follow me? This road is destined to be difficult. Many people will leave, but many people will also join... Those who are unwilling to follow will naturally leave, and those who stay are our comrades."

"People are all profit-driven. If you say all this directly today, many pure-blood wizards who were originally in our team may leave, and then... tell your words to their families. Doesn't that matter?" Tom asked.

"It doesn't matter, because this was originally an open conspiracy. Do you think those pure-blood families are all idiots? Do you think they can't see these problems? No, many people have actually discovered the crisis. But what can they do now that they see it? No one can stop the tide of the times... Therefore, the truly smart pure-blood families are not considering how to stop all this, but how to make themselves the vested interests again in this great change." Li Weide smiled.

Tom frowned and said, "You mean... there will be pure-blood wizards joining in the future?"

"Of course! People are divided into different classes, and the same goes for pure-blood families! There are powerful pure-blood families, and there are weak pure-blood families... Do you think those weaker pure-blood families would also like to reshuffle the cards, and then find a way to erode the powerful pure-blood families, and eventually replace them? There are no permanent allies, only permanent interests. If that's the case, why don't they take a big gamble and choose to join us?"

Tom fell silent upon hearing this...

Li Weide saw this and didn't say anything more to him. He walked straight past him and went to his room. He knew Tom would figure it out soon.

After closing the door, Li Weide habitually set up some security measures in the room, then lay down comfortably. The research on the energy core could be temporarily put on hold; he could get a good night's sleep first, and then he could begin the research on the converter…

Li Weide thought to himself and slowly closed his eyes.

However, just as he was about to fall asleep...

"Ding! Congratulations to the host, the Dark Lord's progress has increased by 0.1%."

Li Weide suddenly opened his eyes and directly opened the system interface.

To be honest, this system is indeed a defective product...

It was normal at first, but later on, especially after the upgrade, it became a complete mess.

The settlement function of merit points has disappeared. Even if there are merit points received, they will only be stuck for two days and then added to the balance silently.

Although the quality of goods has improved, prices have also become chaotic.

The prices of the products displayed also fluctuated... Therefore, Li Weide guessed that this system might have had a discount function, but something went wrong and the discount was not displayed... This resulted in some obviously useful things being sold very cheaply, while some ordinary products were sold at very high prices.

However, Li Weide would still open the mall every night and buy rare materials when he came across them, just like signing in every day...

After all, even if it is a defective product, the system is still a system, full of magical opportunities.

However, today Li Weide actually heard a system prompt sound that had not appeared for a long time!

Moreover, the words on the system interface that originally read [Dark Lord Achievement: Not Achieved] have now changed.

It became [Dark Lord Achievement: Progress 0.1%].

"Merlin's briefs! The progress bar actually moved! Could this be related to what I told everyone today? Could it really make me a god when it reaches 100%?" Li Weide's curiosity about the system was aroused once again.

Tsk tsk, the system is still the system after all!

However, with Li Weide's current abilities, there is no way for him to study the secrets of the system. He doesn't even know what state the system exists in his body!

Is it in the mind? Or in the soul? Or is there some extraordinary being constantly watching over me and giving me random rewards?
Li Weide suddenly found it funny when he thought that there was a very powerful guy working hard to calculate merit points for himself.

Li Weide was still too sleepy after all. His mind gradually became dizzy and he finally fell into a deep sleep...

……

Early the next morning, Li Weide was awakened by the sound of birds singing.

When he opened his eyes, he saw a little nightingale outside the window, tightly bound by a vine...

Li Weide slowly got up, then stretched comfortably, and his bones made crackling sounds.

Then, Li Weide got up and looked out the window again.

At this time, the little nightingale saw that Li Weide had finally woken up, and hurriedly continued chirping.

Li Wei De snapped his fingers, and the vines quickly loosened. The nightingale finally broke free and flew into Li Wei De's room.

However, just as she flew in, a bolt of lightning struck the window...

Elena returned to her human form and lay on the ground. Her whole body was numb... numb from the electric shock!
"Did I ever tell you not to trespass into my room?" Li Weide asked with a smile after changing his clothes.

“You didn’t say…” Elena’s eyes were red.

"Didn't I say that?" Li Weide asked in surprise.

"You didn't say that!"

"Alright, alright...but even if I didn't tell you to, it's wrong for you to just walk into someone else's room without knocking!" Livid harshly criticized Elena. "A wizard like me always takes precautions when sleeping!"

Elena was almost crying. She was tied up for more than an hour early in the morning, then electrocuted, and finally scolded!

"Okay, stop crying. What do you want from me?"
