The Mirror of Erised shows what people desire most, and since it is what they desire most, it will not change in a short time. However, the image in the Mirror of Erised has changed, and the changed image has made Dumbledore furious.
The beautiful women surrounding Ye Feng in the previous scene were gone; he had transformed into the mature and composed headmaster of Hogwarts, and Dumbledore, the current headmaster of Hogwarts, had become Ye Feng's assistant!
"Does this kid think he can turn the world upside down?!"
While Dumbledore was so angry that he wanted to rush out and grab Ye Feng by the ear and give him a good scolding, Ye Feng was somewhat dismissive of the Mirror of Erised.
"Tsk, is this the so-called Mirror of Eris that can see into the deepest desires of people's hearts? I've already opened my soul and it still can't detect my thoughts. I have to actively think and simulate for it to appear. It's really bad."
"But speaking of which, I suddenly had a funny idea."
Given Ye Feng's amusing idea, Dumbledore used up all the shocks he had ever experienced in the next half hour, and eventually he even began to feel numb.
The reason is simple: Ye Feng directly treated the Eris Mirror as a television set that could project and depict his thoughts.
Within that half hour, Ye Feng imagined some of the grandest scenes from novels, and then presented them directly through the Mirror of Eris, and so…
In the Mirror of Erised, Dumbledore saw several people with magatama patterns in their eyes piloting 'Gundams' and exchanging fire, completely altering the terrain with their every move; he saw some Muggles piloting something resembling an airplane, shouting "Forward, four!" and then the thing fired a beam of light that shattered a sun; he saw a group of ethereal figures standing on swords... playing with stars like marbles, and other absurd scenes.
"Are these images a prophecy, or a fantasy stemming from a real scene that the little fellow once witnessed?" Dumbledore left, utterly shocked. Ye Feng, satisfied that the Mirror of Erised was no longer displaying images, went back to sleep. But this night was destined to be sleepless for some.
Ye Feng didn't care whether anyone would have insomnia tonight. Since he had been peeping from behind, he had to bear the consequences. Anyway, Ye Feng, who had found a new way to pass the time, slept quite well that night.
The next day, Ye Feng, as always, pushed open Dumbledore's door as if no one else was around, and then opened the window of Dumbledore's room to complete his daily intake of purple energy. However, just as he was about to turn around and wake Dumbledore up, the system suddenly popped up a notification for him.
"Congratulations, host, on successfully checking in at Dumbledore's residence for 150 days. In recognition of your perseverance and dedication, the system hereby rewards you with one acre of portable immortal land. We hope you will continue your efforts and ascend to immortality soon."
Ye Feng: Σ(っ°Д°;)っ
Upon hearing the system's notification, Ye Feng was instantly stunned. He was surprised by the system's generosity, and also surprised that he had unknowingly checked in at Dumbledore's residence for a full 150 days!
"This is the best surprise of the day, so... Headmaster Dumbledore, wake up and let's party!"
!!!∑(?Д?ノ)ノ
"Ghost!!!"
In the instant he turned his head, Ye Feng leaped onto the windowsill with a whoosh. Less than a meter behind him, a 'ghost' dressed in white robes, with disheveled hair, red eyes, and thick dark circles was staring straight at him.
Dumbledore: Hardened, fist hardened! If it weren't for maintaining my authority as headmaster, I would have given you a couple of punches.
Dumbledore's fists hardened as he watched Ye Feng, who had jumped onto the windowsill in a flash, startled by him. He didn't even consider who was responsible for his current state.
"They actually mistook me for a scary ghost! That's outrageous!"
Although he was furious, Dumbledore had to maintain his dignified status as headmaster, even though Ye Feng had long since lost all sense of 'dignity'. He still suppressed his anger and said politely, "It is I, Dumbledore."
“Mr. Ye, it’s dangerous up there. Get down quickly.”
Upon hearing Dumbledore's words, Ye Feng realized that the 'ghost' who had silently appeared behind him was actually their headmaster, Dumbledore. This greatly shocked Ye Feng, because Dumbledore's appearance at this moment was completely different from his usual self.
Dumbledore: Who do you think gave me this appearance?
Although Ye Feng had already confirmed from the voice that the old man in front of him with messy hair and beard, red eyes and dark circles under his eyes was Dumbledore, Ye Feng still squatted on the windowsill to examine him carefully before slowly getting down from the windowsill.
“Headmaster Dumbledore, you… stayed up late last night? Staying up late is bad for your health, and you’re older now, so it’s even harder for you to recover. You should go to bed earlier in the future.”
After saying that, Ye Feng suddenly thought of something. Before Dumbledore could speak, he slapped his forehead, flipped his hand, and took out a small, bright red jar from his spatial ring, handing it to Dumbledore.
Dumbledore took the jar from Ye Feng and asked with a puzzled look, "What...is this? Red raisins?"
Upon hearing Dumbledore's question, Ye Feng's face immediately lit up with a bright smile. He said, "This is called wolfberry. It's a kind of nourishing medicinal herb. As the saying goes, when you reach middle age, you have no choice but to soak wolfberries in your thermos. Drinking a little bit of this every day with warm water is very beneficial to your health, especially for men's health."
Dumbledore: (O_o)??
With Dumbledore's mind full of questions, Ye Feng simply ran away, and the next day he witnessed a rather strange scene at Hogwarts.
Their kind and dignified Headmaster Dumbledore, who was always meticulous, was now inexplicably carrying a thick, transparent glass with a small red fruit inside. Many students had seen their headmaster walk around, open the glass, gently blow away the red fruit, and then happily sip the steaming water.
While Dumbledore was captivated by the magical red berry, Ye Feng carried the Mirror of Erised back to the Gryffindor common room.
In the evening, when everyone had finished dinner and returned to the common lounge, Ye Feng clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention.
Ye Feng is quite well-known, and although he often gets into trouble, his grades in all courses are among the best. So even students who were about to go back to rest couldn't help but stop and look when they heard the noise.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Ye Feng nodded in satisfaction, placed his hand on the Mirror of Eris, and said, "You must be wondering why I brought a mirror here, but I want to tell you that this is not an ordinary mirror, this is..."
"Mirror of Eris!" ×2
Ye Feng, who had been interrupted by Harry and Ron in unison, sighed and gestured for them to stop talking before nodding and continuing, "That's right, it is the Mirror of Erised, which is said to allow people to see what they desire most in their hearts. But what I'm going to introduce today is not its ability to see through people's desires, but another, even better ability!"
Ye Feng didn't continue to explain what the ability was, but went straight to it. Of course, not everyone is Dumbledore. Others cannot see the visions of others as shown in the Magic Mirror, so a small 'revealing charm' is needed.
After Ye Feng cast the Revealing Charm on the Mirror of Eris, the content of Ye Feng's imagination appeared in the mirror. To make it easier for them to immerse themselves in the story, Ye Feng chose a scene of magicians fighting.
When the dazzling magical battle scene, which lasted only a dozen seconds, ended, everyone was so stunned that they couldn't recover for a long time, even without any sound. Seeing this, Ye Feng had to clap his hands to wake them up.
"What you just saw was my imagination. In other words, as long as you can clear your mind and concentrate on conceiving something, the Mirror of Erised will present it. And that is what I mean by the even better ability of the Mirror of Erised."
"Imagine if each of us embellished our past fantasies, what would be presented would be a series of wonderful movies, and if each of us took turns for one night, we would never have to worry about having nothing to do at night again."
As soon as Ye Feng said this, all the young wizards' eyes lit up. Some wizards were even considering whether they could add some functions to the Mirror of Eris to make this ability even more perfect, such as—synchronous voice transmission.
At Ye Feng's urging, most of the students came up to try it out, and the results were quite good. Even Ye Feng was secretly impressed when some of the scenes that the students had imagined came to life. Thus, the Eris brand television was officially turned on in the Gryffindor common room.
While the young wizards excitedly watched the silent image in the Mirror of Erised, Dumbledore looked at the empty corridor and was completely bewildered.
"Where is my Mirror of Erised? Where is my huge Mirror of Erised?"
Chapter 49 Dumbledore: I'm exhausted, I want to retire.
It must be said that in a world where entertainment is scarce, and even scarcer than in the Muggle world, the allure of the Erised Mirror television for young wizards is immense, to the point that Gryffindor had quite a few extra pandas during class the next day.
Seeing this, Ye Feng decided that he had to restrict it. After all, staying up late all the time was very bad for his health. Their beloved Headmaster Dumbledore was a good example of what not to do. It took him two whole days of drinking goji berry water to slowly get rid of his dark circles.
The Gryffindor students were naturally unwilling to accept Ye Feng's decision to limit the usage time of the Mirror of Erised, but they had no choice but to compromise because they couldn't use the Mirror of Erised's projection function without Ye Feng's help. They also couldn't just stand by and watch others entertain themselves, so in the end they had no choice but to compromise.
But to Ye Feng's surprise, because of the time limit, the things these people fantasized about became more and more outrageous and exciting, and their numbers not only did not decrease but increased. When Ye Feng saw Zhang Qiu appear in the Gryffindor common room with a female Gryffindor classmate, he finally realized something.
However, as the saying goes, sharing happiness is worse than enjoying it alone, so Ye Feng didn't say anything. Moreover, the other students from different colleges had different styles of ideas due to their personalities, which made the effect even better. They even invented a way for two people to use it together, resulting in a split-screen effect.
Thanks to the Mirror of Erised, Harry and his friends were so engrossed in their adventure that they temporarily forgot about the Philosopher's Stone. But everything has its limits, and the Mirror of Erised was no exception.
On this day, the Weasley twins had a sudden inspiration to use the Mirror of Erised as a game console to play magical battles, and the effect was quite good. After the Weasley twins left the game, Malfoy proposed a seemingly reasonable but actually unfair idea: he wanted to use the Mirror of Erised to compete with Ye Feng in various magical skills, and the loser would have to admit in public that he was inferior to the other.
Almost everyone at Hogwarts knows that Ye Feng's grades in all subjects are among the best in the history of students. Whether it is spells, potions or transfiguration, he is better than them. It can be said that in every aspect, Malfoy is the one who is completely outmatched.
However, the Mirror of Erised doesn't require you to know everything; it only needs you to know and be able to imagine it to display it. So this is quite 'unfair' to Ye Feng, because Malfoy is a pure-blood wizard, and he knows far more spells than Ye Feng.
Ye Feng was stunned when he heard Malfoy's invitation to the contest, because it was indeed very unfair. Of course, this was from Malfoy's perspective, since he was a person who had lived in the information age. People in the information age do not have an advantage in intelligence, but their vast amount of miscellaneous knowledge absolutely crushes them.
Therefore, in terms of 'imagination', Ye Feng can be said to be second to none in this era.
So when Ye Feng unleashed one world-destroying forbidden spell after another during the 'competition,' not only Malfoy, but also the people watching were stunned.
However, the Mirror of Erised has a drawback: it lacks an independent mechanism for judging victory or defeat. So even if everyone can see that Malfoy has lost, as long as he stubbornly refuses to admit it, the scene will continue. Moreover, with Ye Feng's experience as a reference, the scene he imagines becomes increasingly outrageous.
At first, there were no problems. After all, even with reference points, it's still quite difficult to imagine. But as time went on, Malfoy became more and more skilled, and the scenes of 'battle' became more and more grand and complex. And then... the Mirror of Erised started smoking.
"Ah! It's on fire!"
"Fire! Run!"
o(;>△<)o
The sound of fire startled almost everyone, but they calmed down when they saw that it was just the Mirror of Eris smoking.
"Hey, it's not on fire, it's just that the Mirror of Eris is smoking."
"Oh, it's not on fire? You scared me."
"Wait, what did you say? The Mirror of Eris is smoking?"
"Yes, the Mirror of Eris is smoking."
...
About two or three seconds later...
"The Mirror of Eris is smoking!!!"
The group suddenly realized what was happening and immediately panicked. The Mirror of Erised had brought them endless joy these past few days, and if it broke, their happiness would be over. So the Mirror of Erised absolutely could not be allowed to break down!
In fact, Ye Feng had already noticed the smoke coming from the Eris Mirror the moment it started to smoke, but even though he withdrew his divine sense in time, it was a bit too late. It seemed unable to withstand such a complex and grand scene and broke down.
However, Ye Feng wasn't too worried, because the magic patterns inside the Eris Mirror had a certain self-repairing function. The last time he broke it, he only had to wait a day for the slightly damaged magic circuits inside to repair themselves. In other words, as long as he left it here for a couple of days, it would be usable again.
Therefore, Ye Feng wasn't too worried and explained the situation to them before letting them go back.
After everyone else left, Dumbledore, realizing something was wrong, also came to the door. But when he saw the Mirror of Erised, he was stunned, because he could tell at a glance that the Mirror of Erised was completely broken.
The Mirror of Eris does indeed possess the ability to self-repair, but this ability has its limits. Undoubtedly, Ye Feng's spectacular 'fight' with Malfoy directly burned out the Mirror of Eris's 'CPU,' meaning that this thing can no longer repair itself and needs someone to replace its 'core (magic runes)'.
"Ye Feng, can you explain to me what's going on?"
"This is the Mirror of Erised! A mirror that can see what people desire most, and you actually brought it back to the Gryffindor common room. You really disappoint me!"
Harry, who hadn't left yet, couldn't help but stand up and explain for Ye Feng when he heard Dumbledore's words: "Headmaster Dumbledore, that's not how it is. Ye Feng just saw that we didn't have any entertainment at night, so he brought the Mirror of Erised back."
Harry then recounted the events of the past few days to Dumbledore, and as Harry spoke, Dumbledore's mouth began to slowly open wide and remained open throughout the entire process.
"You mean, you've been using the Mirror of Eris as... a television set?"
"Yes."
Dumbledore: ...
"I'm tired. Let it all be destroyed. I don't care who this principal is..."
After hearing Harry's explanation, Dumbledore remained silent for a long time. In the end, he silently took away the Mirror of Erised without saying anything. However, that evening, all the teachers were called to the headmaster's office for a meeting.
Ye Feng and the others had no way of knowing what the meeting was about, but the next day, Dumbledore announced a new school rule while having breakfast.
"After discussion among all the professors at Hogwarts, we have made the following rules: The Mirror of Erised is a relatively dangerous magical item, so it is absolutely forbidden to bring the Mirror of Erised back to the common room to use it as a 'television set,' and students from China are strictly prohibited from using the Mirror of Erised without permission."
When announcing the new school rule, Dumbledore glanced wearily at Ye Feng, who was slurping his meat porridge as if nothing was wrong. However, as he watched, he became a little distracted because Ye Feng looked so carefree.
"That porridge with minced meat looks pretty good. How about I ask my house-elf to make me a bowl tomorrow morning?"
Chapter 50 Ye Feng: This is going to be a windfall!
"Albus?"
"Headmaster Dumbledore?"
