Hogwarts: A Chinese-Style Professor

Chapter 219 Upgrade Guide
After dinner, Li Wei returned to his office, picked up the "main unit" of his problem-solving guide, placed it beside him, and began to build the theoretical framework.

This morning, he had Barton send a letter to the head of the pure-blood family, and the Seven Saints quickly brought him some things he needed.

To be honest, some of the knowledge was too primitive, and he had to go to great lengths to extract the dross and the useful information.

“Even the oldest aristocratic families will eventually become outdated relics if they close themselves off from the world and stop contacting the outside world.”

Therefore, in Li Wei's view, the path of the Seven Saints was absolutely impossible to succeed.

He turned his attention back to the book beside him.

After several months of data collection and learning, he felt that this "host" was becoming more and more agile and intelligent.

Fortunately, Li Wei was a man who didn't lack money. Even though his creations were initially more experimental, he used the most expensive materials, which allowed the spirituality of this 'main unit' to continuously increase without overloading.

Li Wei decided to add another feature to it in the coming days—internet connectivity.

Today's practice problem book, as a problem-solving machine, has perfectly fulfilled its original purpose.

But this has also led to more problems; it's still too 'single-player' now.

Livy wrote down his shortcomings on the parchment:

Each extension can only connect to the main unit in one direction, and data between students is completely isolated.

If I want to do a comparative analysis, I'll have to do the screening manually.

He hopes that the practice question guide can be more flexible and multifunctional.

By implementing network connectivity, Li Wei aims to achieve two initial goals.

1. Chat Room:
Create a large, public Hogwarts chat room, add all students from grades 1 to 7, appoint the class representatives of each grade as administrators with certain permissions, and upload the necessary materials for each grade.

Over time, as the materials become more abundant, students in each grade will be able to download them through searching—and since they are somewhat disorganized, they can be further categorized.

For example, a separate chat room could be set up for each grade, allowing them to create their own groups to exchange knowledge and insights.

This is equivalent to establishing countless online libraries. Although its accumulation is far less than that of Hogwarts Library in the short term, Li Wei believes that one day it will become a vast database that surpasses all libraries in the world.

This led Li Wei to think of many more things.

Even after leaving school, the seventh graders who graduated the previous year are still using the practice question book.

Once the network is operational, they will surely want to join in—as it continues to evolve, this guide may soon leave the campus and become a powerful tool for all Hogwarts graduates.

However, before that can be done, there is still the issue of 'signal base stations' to be resolved.

As Li Wei envisioned, the network coverage after the update should be limited to within Hogwarts School of Design.

In other words, students who graduate and leave Hogwarts may see the feature updates, but they probably won't be able to access the network at all.

However, this is not something he has time to worry about right now.

Li Wei picked up the carving knife and carved the first ring of new array patterns on the inside of the main unit, at the edge of a page.

It was a kind of "web-like symbol," representing the connection between "multiple points and the core."

As he carved, he aimed his wand at the "spiritual core" of the main unit:
"I will give you more wisdom. From now on, you will not only learn to collect data, but also to think about statistics and make cross-sectional comparisons."

"I reveal my soul to you, and you will inherit my thoughts and achieve the exchange of knowledge."

As magic and spirit were infused, silver patterns appeared on the main unit of the problem-solving encyclopedia.

At the same time, he began to add restrictions to the manual:

The book will not learn about privacy unrelated to knowledge; it only serves as an information database for recording information. Any private information related to "personal memory" will not be learned. The book can only analyze students' performance in knowledge, not what they are thinking.

"."

Before he knew it, he had been busy for quite some time. Li Wei suddenly looked up—he noticed that Jia Meier was quietly waiting to the side.

"It's already so late?"

Li Wei glanced at the clock; it was already 11 p.m.

He glanced at Sirius's room again—the guy who had been loitering at home for the past few days hadn't shown up all day.

"Let's begin today's practice."

Li Wei temporarily put aside his work on the manual and went into the room with Jia Meier.

Good morning, senior Joe Willy.

Good morning, Harry, Cedric.

Joey looked at the two energetic people and nodded.

"After two weeks of preparation, it seems you're ready?"

Back during the 'Free Day' of last semester, Cedric and Harry had taken a liking to the 'Patron Charm' and asked Jowell when they could learn the spell.

But Jowell said it was too early.

But as Cedric moves into fifth grade, his studies become much more demanding, and it's time for him to start learning advanced spells.

Guardian Charm, Apparition, Legilimency, Occlumency, Animagus, Silent Casting, and Wandless Casting.

One magical and profound spell after another was laid out before him.

Ever since the Hogwarts Express was attacked by Dementors, almost every student has raised the priority of that spell in their minds.

The Guardian Charm – the only spell that can ward off Dementors, and a powerful protective tool when facing dark creatures.

Jowell gave Cedric and Harry two extra weeks of homework, asking them to learn the Patronus Charm on their own and record their thoughts and feelings each week.

After two weeks of theory, it's time to start formally teaching them the spell.

After their usual run, Jowell guided the two to stand under a large tree by the Black Lake and began to lead them.

"The incantation is—call upon the gods for protection."

"Close your eyes and try your best to imagine and recall your happiest moments."

Jowell guided the two, and they saw a wisp of silver gas rapidly shooting out from the tip of their wands.

“Very good, your guardian spirit is taking shape—focus and continue.”

Jowell quietly waved his wand, and suddenly the two heard a whistling wind—followed by a silent wailing that sounded ominous and sinister.

The two of them suddenly opened their eyes, and the gas at the tip of the wands began to vibrate violently.

"Don't waver—recite the incantation and stir your emotions."

Jowell continued speaking.

But the next moment, the gas at the tip of Harry's wand suddenly disappeared.

Cedric held on longer than him, so Jowell continued to guide him—and after about three minutes, his vague guardian spirit finally disappeared.

Harry watched this scene and couldn't help but purse his lips.

He knew why he had failed—his godfather, Sirius Black, had suddenly disappeared after yesterday.
