Power: 9

Agility: 6

Physical condition: 15

Special: Ripple Qigong (LV1).

The ability section has a bunch of all sorts of things, basically everything except magic, and these are all activated by gaining experience points through daily eating.

The system's explanation to Dudley was: "Extensive knowledge is a prerequisite for becoming a spellcaster."

This reason made a lot of sense, and Dali accepted it.

In short, it was through these factors, coupled with Dali's own efforts, that he created the perfect image of a top student.

By the way, the skills can be upgraded using the experience gained from daily food consumption, but special skills cannot; you need to train them yourself.

Dudley didn't know the highest level of his ability, but his LV3 boxing skills were enough to make him invincible across various high schools.

As for the values ​​of strength and agility, since there is no comparison, it is even more unclear what level they are at, but they should be quite good.

At least in terms of strength, Dalli has never backed down from anyone.

After hearing the system notification, Dali clearly saw that the Magic Power column had increased from 0 to 0.5.

At that moment, Dali's heart was pounding with excitement.

Although it's only 0.5%, and although compared to the other items, this 0.5% magic is nothing, it's still progress from nothing to something, a historic step.

"Could it be that Second Master really has a talent for magic?"

Dali's little heart was greatly shocked.

"It's not that Shinji Matou doesn't have magic circuits, but rather that his magic circuits are completely solidified, like a river that has been completely blocked and stopped flowing. Therefore, he cannot use magic circuits to refine his own life force into magical power. If a huge amount of energy is used to break open the magic circuits, Shinji Matou can also use magic."

"Please continue your efforts to complete the mission, strive to activate more magic circuits or add magic inscriptions, and become the strongest spellcaster as soon as possible."

The system surprisingly displayed two comments, providing a rare response to Dudley's question.

Break through using magic

Dali astutely captured several keywords.

"If you have magic, does that mean I can have it too?"

Dudley pictured Dudley holding a wand in his left hand and a magic book in his right, strolling leisurely through Hogwarts reading.

Then he saw Muggle (true) in the race column and 0.5 magic power.

One must take things one step at a time, and eat one bite at a time. For now, I should just focus on taking the potion.

Three months passed quickly. Dudley, who had transformed into a study fanatic, emptied Mrs. Figg’s collection of books on magic during this time. Although there weren’t many books in total, most of them were basic first-year subjects.

After all, Mrs. Figg was a dud, so buying too many wouldn't be of much use, and there were many unclear points in the book that couldn't answer Dudley's questions.

However, thanks to Mrs. Figg, Dudley's knowledge of magical theory was greatly enriched, at least he was no longer a magic novice.

"Children, it's time for us to go home." The Dursleys arrived as scheduled, unusually including Harry in their group.

Vernon not only successfully closed the big deal but also secured many additional orders, thus becoming the sales manager. His commissions alone brought in a large sum of money, which meant that the Dursleys' standard of living was about to rise to another level.

The Dursleys had initially worried that Dudley wouldn't eat well at Mrs. Figg's, but after seeing Dudley's noticeably larger physique, they changed their minds.

Given Dudley's current size, no one would believe he's on the high school football team, even though he's only in fourth grade.

Of course, Dudley wasn't the only one who changed. Vernon's belly had swelled up like a balloon in just three months, clearly indicating that his standard of living had been quite good during this time.

Seeing Vernon's round belly jiggling with every step, Dudley was already considering having him exercise with Vernon every day, as being overweight was really bad for his health.

Before leaving, Dudley reluctantly returned the book "Potions and Magical Elixirs" to Mrs. Figg. It was an excellent introductory book to magic, covering not only potions but also a great deal of knowledge about defending against dark magic. Each time Dudley read it, he gained new insights, making it his favorite book.

"Since you like it so much, then take it with you," Mrs. Figg said, placing the book in Dali's hands.

For Mrs. Figg, it was just a book, which she could buy anytime she wanted.

Ultimately, Dudley didn't accept it. Firstly, he had already memorized everything, and Mrs. Figg's house wasn't far from theirs; he could come anytime he wanted to see it, and he believed Mrs. Figg would welcome him. Secondly, and most importantly, the Dursleys disliked magic and even more so, anything related to it.

This is Penny's biggest worry.

Dudley was a filial son, and he didn't want to upset Penny, so he wouldn't mention anything about magic in front of them unless he could resolve Penny's inner conflict.

I believe that day is not far off.

Night fell, and all was quiet, save for the faint glow of streetlights and starlight illuminating the dark sky. The streets were deserted, save for a few dogs quietly sniffing at roadside trash cans. The distant roar of a car engine echoed, then faded into the night. Occasionally, one or two night birds chirped in the trees. The moon hung in the sky, casting a soft, silvery glow that illuminated everything around it, as if the entire world was enveloped in its gentle light.

Harry and the Dursleys were already fast asleep, while Dudley, on the second floor of the house, was brewing something in his room. On the table were a crucible and some simple laboratory equipment, such as beakers, graduated cylinders, capillary tubes, funnels, test tubes, and an electronic balance.

These ones.

Dudley naturally couldn't cook with an open flame in the room; he used an induction cooker.

All the experimental equipment was purchased by Dali from a chemical equipment store. The graduated cylinder can measure the volume of liquid, the electronic balance can accurately weigh in grams, the mixing test is carried out through beakers, and the experimental results are recorded in a notebook.

To be honest, while wizards' magic is amazing, they are quite backward in terms of potion-making, using primitive equipment. Even renowned potion masters mostly rely on intuition and experience.

That's not scientific at all.

As the greenish-brown liquid in the crucible was stirred continuously, it slowly turned into a light blue color. Finally, a satisfied expression appeared on Dali's face, indicating that he had successfully brewed it.

Carefully scoop the liquid from the crucible and slowly pour it into test tubes, then insert the stoppers and store them in the cabinet next to the test tubes.

Dudley finally breathed a sigh of relief after doing all this.

Dudley hadn't had a proper rest for several days in order to calculate the precise value and successfully brew the potion.

Fortunately, it was a success. Looking at the azure liquid in the test tube, as blue as the Aegean Sea, Dali was extremely satisfied.
