Being at Hogwarts, something's not right with this system.

Inside the Leaky Cauldron bar, chaos suddenly erupted.

"Tom, here's a plate of fried noodles."

"Please add a salad to this order."

"Could you send us a serving of boiled beef?"

"Potatoes, just give me a serving of mashed potatoes."

Amidst the chaos, Tom was so busy he was like a fly buzzing around on the stove, his feet barely touching the ground.

Even if he is a wizard, he can use magic to automatically deliver the customer's order to the customer.

But he always has to prepare the dishes the customers order before he can serve them.

At this moment, Tom arrived at the kitchen door and saw Lin Yu working hard alone in the kitchen. He felt a chill for Lin Yu.

Just half an hour earlier, Lin Yu had asked Tom if he could use the kitchen because he couldn't stand the British food anymore.

He wanted to cook himself dinner; he really didn't want to torture himself for the last meal of the day.

In the past, he had no choice but to live on the streets. Even if he wanted to cook for himself, he was powerless to do so. After all, even a skilled cook can't make a meal without rice.

Ke Linyu used to live alone in an apartment, and he would cook for himself after get off work to support himself.

I can't say much about other things, but I can handle some simple home-style dishes.

So after getting Tom's permission, Lin Yu used the pasta in the kitchen to make himself a simple tomato and egg stir-fry.

It really is just a simple stir-fried noodle dish.

As a result, when Lin Yu was about to eat the fried noodles he had just prepared, he never expected that the wizards would start drooling.

No joke, for the British, who are known as a culinary desert, pasta is arguably one of the most popular foods.

Lin Yu's fried noodles are even better than the usual pasta with just a side of pasta sauce.

This made the group of unsophisticated wizards salivate just from the aroma wafting out.

Later, as Lin Yu was finishing his delicious dinner and finally feeling a little pleasure, a wizard mustered up the courage to ask him if he could make one for himself as well.

Lin Yu had no intention of agreeing.

After all, he's not a waiter here.

But the wizard said, "I can give you an extra Galleon as a tip on top of the meal cost."

If they're paying me, then there's nothing more to say.

So Lin Yu ended up like this; ever since he walked into the kitchen half an hour ago, he hasn't come out again.

Standing in front of the stove, Lin Yu stared at the automatically stirring pot and spoon, lost in thought: "What am I doing? And who exactly spread the rumor back home that the British don't eat offal? No, they're saying people in Europe and America don't eat animal offal. So, was the raw liver I ate before meant for dogs?"

It's really strange that they praise French foie gras while saying they don't eat animal organs.

I really don't know who's spreading this rumor.

Because this is a world of magic, even kitchen utensils can cook automatically, such as pots that stir-fry by themselves and brushes that automatically wash dishes.

This saved Lin Yu a lot of trouble, otherwise his eleven-year-old body would have been in real trouble.

Finally, Lin Yu finished taking orders for another table of guests, and he was finally done with his work.

As Lin Yu walked out of the kitchen, a burst of enthusiastic applause rang out.

Lin Yu stood there, politely nodding to everyone, and asked Tom, "So how much money did I just make?"

Tom, with a complicated expression, took out a money bag and whispered, "There are fifteen Galleons inside. You'd better keep them safe."

In just over half an hour, Lin Yu earned fifteen Galleons.

This is already a lot, considering that Lin Yu will be staying at the Leaky Cauldron for thirty-nine days, which only costs a dozen Gallons, and it includes food and lodging.

Furthermore, the cost of the dishes ordered by the guests was not expensive; on the contrary, the cost of hiring Lin Yu to cook for them was much higher.

Fortunately, although Tom was hunchbacked and looked somewhat ugly, he was kind-hearted. Not only did he not try to steal Lin Yu's money, he also kindly reminded him to keep the money safe.

Lin Yu nodded and took the money bag, thinking thoughtfully, "So, making money from wizards is this easy?"

He realized that the system's limited permissions prevented many functions from being enabled, so it could only serve as a storage space and a task distribution function.

This also led to the system having previously warned Lin Yu that the hundred taels of gold was all he had, and there would be no more gold rewards to be received.

Lin Yu had to find a way to make money, otherwise he would just be sitting around and running out of money.

Although he still has several thousand Galleons, which seems like a lot, he will eventually run out of them.

With this in mind, Lin Yu had an idea: during the time before Hogwarts started, he could try to earn more money.

Even if I go to Hogwarts in the future, I might still be able to make money off those junior wizards.

With his money bag in hand, Lin Yu returned to his room upstairs, completely satisfied.

I had just opened the door when I suddenly heard a voice: "Hey, could you please not disturb other people's rest? What time is it?"

Lin Yu was taken aback and subconsciously turned on the room light, but he didn't see anyone in the room.

"Where are you looking? Aren't I hanging here? You rude little wizard, I am a mirror," a mirror on the wall said to Lin Yu.

Lin Yu suddenly felt completely unwell.

He never imagined that a mirror could speak.

But that's the reality. This is a magical world, filled not only with magical creatures but also with all sorts of strange and wonderful magical items.

The thought that even the Sorting Hat at Hogwarts could talk calmed Lin Yu down.

You have to admit he's really thick-skinned; otherwise, even an adult would be startled by a sudden scare, right?

"Are you sleepy?" Lin Yu turned around, and only after the snoring figure behind him entered did he close the door and lock it. He then asked the mirror, "By the way, do you have time to chat with me? For example, if I wanted to learn magic spells on my own, are there any dangers?"

The mirror had no face, and it was impossible to tell where the voice was coming from, but it sounded quite expectant, saying in a cheerful tone, "Oh ho, so you're a newbie. It's okay, feel free to ask me any questions, although I might not know the answers myself."

Wouldn't that be a pointless question?

Lin Yu was exasperated, but he wasn't sleepy yet and didn't want to go to bed so early.

So Lin Yu took out a book he had bought that afternoon, which was the Standard Spellbook for Beginners.

He was thinking that perhaps he could learn a few simple spells before going to Hogwarts.

But the mirror reminded Lin Yu: "By the way, newbie, I think you might not know this, but underage wizards are not allowed to use magic outside of Hogwarts. Be careful, the Minister of Magic might give you trouble."

Lin Yu was taken aback, then remembered that there seemed to be such a rule.

Furthermore, underage wizards have something called "trace threads," which are automatically attached to them from birth.

Lin Yu thought that since he was able to receive an acceptance letter from Hogwarts, perhaps he could also find out.
