Simulation: Starting from Under One Person

"Was it successful? Maybe..."

Fang Rui said it was a normal situation, neither particularly smooth nor particularly bad.

"Another world, how interesting." Yamato, who hadn't paid attention to anything else and had been playing the whole time, said he was having a great time.

"Yamato, I suggest you memorize some names, otherwise you won't be able to explain to King when you return to the Beast Kingdom..."

Upon hearing Fang Rui's reminder, Yamato's cheerful expression froze.

"Don't say things like that when you're happy!"

"Just a heads-up, so you don't get too carried away and make your life worse later."

Shrugging slightly, Fang Rui asked, "How many of the people you just met did you remember...?"

Upon hearing this, Snape turned around and asked, "Are you serious about such a simple question?"

"Uh..." Yamato fell silent. She was so focused on enjoying the food and scenery of the other world that she didn't pay any attention to the name of the person opposite her.

It's more accurate to say that they've even forgotten some people's faces.

"This is terrible!" Fang Rui said, rubbing his forehead with one hand.

"Fine, I'll give you a crash course!"

Chapter 407 Preparations

After some time, the invitations had been sent to various factions, and Snape returned to Hogwarts Castle to report the news to Dumbledore.

At this time, half of the preparations for the tournament were completed, and all the magic schools had agreed to participate and were arriving at Hogwarts Castle one after another.

On the other hand, Fudge successfully resigned, and the new Minister of Magic was Arthur Weasley. As the first major event after Arthur took office, he was preparing for the Magic Games very seriously and invited wizards from all over the world to participate.

Everything was progressing steadily, just as Dumbledore had hoped...

Incidentally, Nico Mellor also made some progress in his research on alchemical equipment, but unfortunately it couldn't meet Dumbledore's requirements.

"Need my help?" Fang Rui asked, rubbing his cheek. "How much time is left before the tournament officially begins?"

After all, the invitations have already been sent out, and the date for the competition has been set.

“Less than a week,” Dumbledore said.

Upon hearing this, Fang Rui leaned back tactically, "I think you're making things difficult for me. How could I possibly produce results in less than a week?"

"Do you have a more accurate time? I can think of another way for you."

"Yes, about two days..." After a moment of silence, Dumbledore replied truthfully.

"About two days, definitely less than a week." Fang Rui looked speechless. Is this how you calculate time?

"What tools are we missing?" Without dwelling on the above, Fang Rui turned to the main topic.

“Broadcast equipment, all of it,” Dumbledore said.

"...Nick hasn't accomplished a single thing!" Fang Rui complained.

"It's halfway done. Give him some more time, and he should be able to finish it," Dumbledore explained. It wasn't that Nico Mailer wasn't working hard, but rather that time was a bit tight.

"Alright! I'll have someone bring some tools."

Magical artifacts can be used in environments rich in magic, and they can also be used to impersonate alchemical equipment.

As for the alchemical tools created by Nico Mellor, which differed from the tools he provided, this can be explained by the fact that different makers produce different effects.

"Thank you for your help," Dumbledore said gratefully.

"It's nothing." Fang Rui didn't pay attention to it and used the group chat to contact the people in the village, asking them to bring some photography equipment to Hogwarts.

Because there was a backup agent working in the village, some people did not urge Fang Rui to return to work in the village.

"It's settled. They'll bring a batch of live streaming equipment with them when they come to Hogwarts."

Fang Rui put away his phone and said this.

The two left the office and headed outside Hogwarts Castle.

There are three events in the championship.

The first project was collecting golden eggs...

Dumbledore's initial idea was to use dragons to guard the golden eggs.

However, Nico Meller suggested that they could be bolder and introduce monsters from other worlds.

therefore……

"Ow—"

In the forbidden forest, a saber-toothed tiger, larger than a heavy truck, roared to the sky. A giant snake coiled its body, its cold gaze sweeping across the surroundings, brimming with murderous intent. A wyvern's feet were bound with iron chains to prevent it from flying away...

All sorts of magical beasts can be found here.

When did you arrest him?

"No, you want the little wizard to die, don't you!"

Fang Rui was first puzzled, then surprised. These things were something an underage wizard could handle.

The competition is dangerous, but not to this extent!

"How could that be? I will restrict the monsters' range of movement." Dumbledore reassured Fang Rui not to worry; he knew what he was doing.

"I think something unexpected will happen," Fang Rui insisted.

"Can you say something nice?" Dumbledore said helplessly.

“But this is really going too far.” Fang Rui said, “It’s not that I don’t want to say nice things, but this is really outrageous.”

"Alright, let's go to another place." Having no interest in continuing the argument, the two left.

Upon arriving at the Black Lake, Dumbledore pointed to it and said, "The second competition is to fight in the Black Lake..."

"In the water? Fighting?" Fang Rui tilted his head, a bunch of question marks on his face.

"Do you have a grudge against the students? All the competition events are designed to torment them."

"Speaking of which, there are quite a lot of creatures in the Black Lake, including fish-men and magical beasts... You didn't throw any other magical creatures into the lake, did you?"

“Hmm…” Dumbledore stammered.

Upon seeing this, Fang Rui immediately understood that they had probably thrown other magical beasts into the Black Lake.

"I think... the little wizard will definitely give you a piece of his mind."

"No way! I just made it a little more difficult, since there are quite a lot of participants."

"Let's put this matter aside for now."

Fang Rui had no interest in arguing about that matter and instead asked about something else: "What is the third project?"

"The maze battles, which combine puzzle-solving, exploration, and combat, are fantastic," Dumbledore said.

"Your idea is great, but I suspect the student council..." Fang Rui didn't continue, changing the subject, "I have some ideas..."

“Tell me about it,” Dumbledore asked.

"Since the difficulty is already this high, how about we increase it a little more?"

“No need…” Dumbledore wanted to refuse.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing," Fang Rui reassured Dumbledore.

"Alright!" Not wanting to refuse, Dumbledore agreed.

"Very good, let me think about how to add ingredients."

With that, Fang Rui left the place and went to the residence of the visiting guest to ask for the opinions of the others.

Fairy Tail, being mages with plenty of free time, were among the first to arrive.

"Ha! Gray, what did you say?" Natsu frowned immediately, and he and Gray pressed their foreheads together, arguing quite fiercely.

“Mavis.” Jelf and Mavis were by the Black Lake, oblivious to everyone else, displaying their affection.

Some people aren't bothered by the displays of affection and actually enjoy watching it.

“Makarov, I have something to ask you.”

Fang Rui believed that Makarov, as someone who frequently organizes events, could offer valuable advice.

"What is it?" Makarov asked, taking a sip of his drink, as he turned his gaze to Fang Rui.

"You know about this competition. There are some details that need to be added to the event, so I'd like to get some suggestions from you."

Fang Rui gave vague answers and did not give the truthful reason.

"Advice? Then you've come to the right person." Makarov didn't refuse; on the contrary, he was very interested in these matters.

What kind of advice do you need?

"The first task is to acquire an item within the rules. What do you think could be added?"

Upon hearing this, Makarov thought of a competition the guild had once held, the marathon, and obtaining the scales that symbolized completing the marathon, and nodded thoughtfully.

"We could add some obstacles."

He didn't set up any other obstacles because the guild members would definitely add their own difficulty, so there was no need to add any additional challenges.

However, these students shouldn't be as extreme as the group in the guild, so adding some obstacles is reasonable.

"For example, some traps..."

"A trap?" Fang Rui pondered. The first project wasn't quite right, but the second one was perfect. He could add some props, both positive and negative.

"anything else?"

“It’s also possible…” Makarov thought for a moment and replied, “Add some setups to the field, such as… some traps.”

"You already said that," Fang Rui reminded him.

"I know, but I have no other ideas~" Makarov said helplessly, shrugging.

"Alright! I'll ask someone else." With that, Fang Rui looked at the others.

Gray, Natsu, and others are ruled out; they can't offer any good advice.
