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

Because he had an appointment with Hermione in the afternoon, Lin Yu still went to take a shower.

After all, I did sweat a bit during the morning training session.

The main reason was that I didn't want to leave a bad impression on Hermione.

The twins were initially happy, but they started to feel scared when Lin Yu pulled out a bath towel from somewhere and looked at them with a wicked grin.

The so-called bath towel was something Lin Yu made himself from discarded towels; it was simply a pocket sewn on so he could slip it over his hand.

However, the towel was still a bit lacking.

But Lin Yu couldn't possibly make a special trip to China just for a few bath towels, could he?

Do we still have to go to Northeast China to buy wholesale?

In the end, Lin Yu still pinned the twins against the wall and gave them a good beating.

Of course, he also had one of the twins rub his back at the end.

It's fairly comfortable, but unfortunately there's no such thing as a body scrubber in this world.

"Maybe I've come up with another idea to make money?" Lin Yu thought to himself thoughtfully.

If he remembered correctly, the reason Harry's family was so wealthy, and his parents were able to leave such a rich inheritance, was because Harry's grandfather, Mr. Potter, had developed a product similar to shampoo or conditioner.

Harry's family made a fortune thanks to that brand.

The Potter family wasn't originally that wealthy. It was during his grandfather's generation that the family's assets quadrupled, which made them a moderately wealthy family.

The reason we say they are "smallly wealthy" is because the Malfoy family is truly powerful; they have their own manor, and even noble titles and fiefdoms.

There's no time to think about these things right now.

Lin Yu bid farewell to the others and returned to the main hall on the first floor of the castle.

Hermione was sitting at the bottom of the stairs on the first floor, holding a book and reading it with great interest.

She really loves reading, and since Hermione doesn't yet have the super bag she made with the Unseen Stretch Charm, you can always see books on her.

At her peak, Hermione had more than twenty books hanging on her at once.

It's no wonder that Hermione wasn't described as particularly beautiful in the original books. She's a female academic genius who doesn't care much about her appearance; she could have spent more time reading books than dressing up.

But things are different now. After taking the Marrow Cleansing Pill, Hermione's long hair has become neat and smooth even without her taking care of it, which also makes her delicate features stand out.

Hermione's elegant demeanor made it impossible for students from all houses passing by to not secretly glance at her.

Hermione, unaware of her surroundings, continued to immerse herself in the ocean of knowledge within the book.

When Lin Yu came over, he glanced down at it and couldn't help but chuckle, "Why are you still looking at this?"

It turned out that Hermione was reading "Quidditch Origins".

After learning that Lin Yu had joined the Quidditch team, Hermione had specifically found this book for him.

Lin Yu was also learning for the first time that there were over 700 legitimate ways to commit a foul in Quidditch.

Hermione looked up when she heard Lin Yu's voice. As she closed the book, she casually said, "This isn't just about the rules of Quidditch and how to foul legally. There are actually many interesting things here, I mean, flying techniques that are easier to master."

Lin Yu suppressed a laugh, noticing that Hermione was actually a little nervous.

This girl is very smart, but she's only smart in the brain; her physical abilities are quite average.

Whether it's Transfiguration, Potions, or especially Flight.

Even Hermione gets flustered when she first tries it out.

However, in Lin Yu's eyes, Hermione was exceptionally cute.

Is it cute because of the contrast?

"You seem to be thinking about something very rude?" Hermione stood up and tilted her head to look at Lin Yu.

Unfortunately, she can't hear Lin Yu's thoughts now.

For some reason, Hermione couldn't always see through Lin Yu's thoughts; her ability was inconsistent.

"Alright, let's go," Lin Yu said, and started walking out of the castle.

Suddenly, the system voice sounded: "Quest triggered. You have finally reunited with Hermione Granger at Canaan Academy. She will give you a gift (Emperor's Seal Technique). Accept her kindness and make a promise to her. Quest complete. Reward: A storage magic item, the Qiankun Ring. The Qiankun Ring contains a universe within, requiring a blood oath for kinship recognition. It is a divine artifact. Moreover, it can grow with its host, opening up a larger space as the host's cultivation level increases. Legend has it that a certain Great Thousand World was transformed from the Qiankun Ring."

Lin Yu froze on the spot after hearing the system notification.

He glanced at Hermione and mentally asked the system, "Xun'er? Xiao Xun'er? But isn't this Hermione Nalan Yanran Granger? Does your character have compatibility? And when did we meet again? Didn't we sleep in the same lounge every day?"

He was so angry at the system that he almost laughed.

What the hell is the reason for their reunion? It's because Lin Yu took a shower in between, so the system doesn't recognize him?

But it's not like Hermione went to take a bath, so what's going on?

Hermione blushed as she looked at Lin Yu, hesitated for a moment, and then muttered softly, "We're not sleeping in the same lounge."

They are clearly separate; boys and girls each have their own independent dorm rooms.

Saying it that way will lead to misunderstandings.

"Also, Nalan Yanran hasn't explained clearly yet, so who is Xiao Xun'er?" Hermione asked Lin Yu. Although she was speaking English, she only used the names 'Nalan Yanran' and 'Xiao Xun'er,' and her pronunciation was very accurate, even though it was Chinese.

Lin Yu was stunned. Looking at Hermione, he finally realized, "You can hear my conversation with the system?"

"System?" Hermione nodded thoughtfully.

Lin Yu sighed speechlessly, reached out and took Hermione's small hand, and the two walked outside together.

He pulled her so naturally that Hermione didn't react at first. It wasn't until he led her out of the castle gate that she seemed to remember something.

Hermione looked down at their clasped hands, but didn't say anything.

Lin Yu continued to ask the system in his mind, "What benefits do you think Hermione is going to give me?"

System: "It's 'Xiao Xun'er' who wants to give it to you."

Lin Yu was too lazy to argue with him about who Hermione, Xun'er, and Granger really were, and continued to complain, "Besides, I don't need any storage equipment at all. Aren't you here?"

The system space is very convenient; you can store task rewards there and retrieve them when needed.

Lin Yu's personal belongings can also be placed inside, and it's very safe.

After all, that's the system space.

So Lin Yu wanted to discuss changing his equipment.

System: "How presumptuous of you! I am not the host's personal space."

Because the system's functions were restricted by access restrictions, it worked diligently as a form of compensation to Lin Yu.

Clearly, this reward was specially arranged by the system.

At the same time, the system mysteriously reminded Lin Yu: "Unlike the system space, the Qiankun Ring contains its own universe, and it can evolve. When the host reaches a certain level, he can even create his own blessed land and set his own laws to create an independent small world."

Lin Yu was stunned again. That's amazing?

"After all, it's a divine artifact."
