Hogwarts: A Chinese-Style Professor

Chapter 302 Do they look like Muggles?
"Then I'll leave you here—this is no place for me to tread."

Arthur escorted Levi deep into the Department of Mysteries at the Ministry of Magic before stopping.

Li Wei nodded, thought for a moment, and then said politely:
"Thank you for showing me the way."

"Not at all, please don't be so polite with me—if you have the chance, you're welcome to visit our home."

Arthur left with a sense of unfinished business—through his conversations along the way, he discovered that Levi was a complete Muggle expert—he knew almost everything and corrected many of Arthur's misconceptions about Muggles.

Li Wei withdrew his gaze and, with his two assistants, continued deeper into the area, where he encountered two Aurors guarding the gate.

One of them was a familiar face; Li Wei felt like he had seen him somewhere before.

Or rather, did you knock him down?
The Auror felt Li Wei's gaze and his expression became somewhat unnatural, but he still maintained a respectful demeanor and said:
"Mr. Li Wei, please come in."

Li Wei nodded and entered with two assistants—one of the young Aurors opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but seeing out of the corner of his eye that the other senior had not spoken, he shut his mouth.

After the three figures disappeared, he turned to the senior beside him and asked:
"Wasn't it said that it's a highly confidential area and unauthorized personnel are not allowed to enter?"

The older Auror pursed his lips, recalling some unpleasantness from a few years ago, and said softly:

"He could take down everyone inside by himself—what difference would it make if several people went in with him?"
Besides, you know what they're researching inside—he's about to become a big shot in the Ministry of Magic, so we don't need to upset him.

"But we are Aurors!"

The young man was clearly very proud of his Auror status.

The middle-aged Auror snorted and ignored him—this arrogant and ignorant creature would behave himself the day he was knocked unconscious by a spell.

Li Wei entered the hall with two disciples.

The first thing you see is blindingly bright light and white walls covered with dense patterns.

In the center of the hall stands a complex structure about three people tall.

The base is made of obsidian and is engraved with layers of magical reinforcement and energy guiding runes. It goes up through matte mithril alloy conduits and magical circuit boards, and a fist-sized "core" stands quietly on it.

This is the first "All-Magic World Real-Time Communication Network" signal base station that was barely cobbled together after months of joint research by the Department of Magical Accidents and Disasters, the Department of Mystic Affairs, the Alchemy Association, and the Technical Support Division of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, based on the theoretical blueprints and core rune structure provided by Li Wei.

As he entered, Minister of Magic Cornelius Fudge was giving a speech to a group of wizards:

"Through this main hub, we will be able to implement near-instantaneous text communication throughout the British wizarding world in the future, without the Floo Network or owls!"

This is a groundbreaking invention, comparable to Floo Powder!

He has sharp eyes. As soon as Li Wei walked in, he saw him at a glance, immediately put down the introduction he had just finished, and strode towards Li Wei.

Before the person even got close, the sound had already rang out, loud and clear.

"Oh—! Professor Levi! Our genius designer has finally arrived!"

Fouché's face was beaming like a chrysanthemum—several directors followed behind him, their expressions ranging from serious to sharp.

In addition, there was a group of wizards dressed in various styles, with serious or impatient expressions—they were invited witnesses representing Gringotts goblins, the Hogwarts Board of Governors, the Daily Prophet, and several influential pure-blood families.

At this moment, everyone was standing behind or to the side of Fudge, sizing up Li Wei.

"Behold this magnificent creation! It will change the way the magical world communicates!"

Combining speed and privacy, far surpassing the convenience and security of any other messenger—I think they will soon be obsolete and become a thing of the past!

"That would be a real shame—I believe owls are part of the magic themselves."

Li Wei responded casually—Fudge's smile froze for a moment at his reply, but he quickly forced a smile and said, "Of course, of course—I've always been a sentimental person—those owls will naturally find their own home."

But you've invented this amazing tool, we can't just leave it lying around, can we?

"You flatter me, Minister."

Li Wei nodded slightly at Fudge's exaggerated performance, his gaze sweeping over the installation.

"If you don't mind, shall we begin?"

"Of course—you don't need to worry about me at all."

Fudge pretended to be magnanimous and stepped aside, but once he was out of Levi's sight, his expression became somewhat awkward.

"Professor Li Wei, do you need us to explain something to you?"

Four technicians gathered around and whispered to Li Wei.

"Of course, please introduce me to them."

"Yes—based on your proposed theory of resonance of magical energy, we amplify and modulate specific magical wavebands of information flow through this main hub to achieve..."

As Li Wei listened to their explanations, he followed their directions to the control panel in front of the device.

As he raised his wand and channeled magic into the crystal on the control panel, with a "hum," the obsidian runes on the device's base lit up layer by layer, and a deep blue light spread upwards along the mithril guide.

The core at the top emitted a deep blue light, spontaneously floated up from the platform, and then began to rotate steadily.

After observing the activation of the magic patterns for a while, Li Wei nodded to Qiao Weili.

Jowell understood and took out several simple books from his suitcase that looked slightly different from the Hogwarts student edition, and distributed them to the wizards present.

After guiding them through the verification process, Li Wei looked at Fudge and said:
"Now, let's test the text communication function."

Minister Fudge, please use your device to type a message and send it to the main group chat in the [Chat Group] module.

Fudge tried somewhat clumsily—his wand approached the book, and words rapidly formed as the tip of his wand trembled:
A new era of communication has begun for the Ministry of Magic! —Fudge

After confirming, he clicked on the icon of a quill pen and ripples in the corner of the page.

The next moment, the books in everyone's hands lit up—they had all opened the chat group and quickly saw the message Fudge had written on them.

"Merlin!"

"So fast!"

A suppressed gasp rippled through the crowd, and many old wizards wore expressions of disbelief—their families did have such transmission devices.

However, each time it is used, the amount of information that can be conveyed is very limited, restricted to within ten words, and the cost is extremely high.
But this is the way it is now.
Everyone's expression changed slightly, and they all began to try it out in Fudge's way.

Li Wei did not stop them, but simply watched it all with a smile.

“Joe, Camille, don’t they look like Muggles who are experiencing technology for the first time?”

"Yes—if we ignore the fact that they are all powerful and prestigious wizards."

Jowell smiled and sighed, while Jia Meier chuckled softly.
