A Certain Magical Hogwarts

Chapter 9 Quantum Fluctuation Speed ​​Reading

In William's previous life, there were rumors circulating in the martial arts world about a shameless urinator:

The black market within the US prison system has established new rules for circulation. Besides instant noodles, Lao Gan Ma chili sauce and Ma Yinglong liquor have become new underground currencies in US prisons.

William didn't know if it was true or not.

Although he often boasts on Zhihu that he is "in America," he usually follows it with phrases like "just got off the plane" or "just got off the plane," but he never says "just went to jail."

Therefore, William was unaware of the true situation in American prisons.

But this didn't stop him from fantasizing about those foreign prisoners who accidentally discovered "half a bottle of Lao Gan Ma chili sauce," tried to open it, and were captivated by the exotic atmosphere that greeted them. Tom, Jerry, Shuke, and Beta were all mesmerized.

Therefore, he decided to give it a try at Hogwarts.

William, in a deep voice like a godfather, said to Cedric:

"You never know what Lao Gan Ma and Ma Yinglong mean. As long as you control the supply, you will have power, status, and a large following of followers."

Cedric was still stuck on the concept of buttered fries, and he asked blankly, "Is it really that amazing...? By the way, what is Ma Yinglong?"

William said mysteriously, "It's an Asian miracle drug with powerful effects."

For some reason, these things were not available for purchase in Britain at that time, and everything had to be smuggled.

Smuggling... that's a lucrative business.

William planned to first serve everyone Lao Gan Ma chili sauce, and then proceed to aggressively promote Ma Yinglong ointment.

Just think about it, all the opium in the entire southern country is sold by... sorry, all the Ma Yinglong liquor in Hogwarts is sold by him and Cedric. This is the first step in seizing capital.

William has become obsessed with the fantasy of a business empire.

……

……

The future looks bright, but reality is harsh. As a first-year student, William still has to buy textbooks.

Located next to Madam Malkin's Robes, Flourish and Blotts is the most comprehensive bookstore in Diagon Alley. Before the start of the school year, most students from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry come here to buy their textbooks.

The bookshelves here are piled high with books, some even reaching the ceiling. Among them are leather-bound books as big as paving stones, tiny silver-covered books as small as stamps, books printed with countless strange symbols, and wordless books that have nothing written on them.

Looking at the book list, William quickly bought all the books for first grade.

Of course, he wouldn't just buy this few books. William knew almost nothing about the magical world, so this was a great opportunity for him to learn.

Extraordinary wisdom is humanity's greatest wealth, and books are the most reliable medium for carrying this wisdom.

William, a staunch proletarian who had received more than a decade of scientific education, was suddenly thrust into the world of magic, and his thirst for knowledge was bound to far exceed that of others.

Moreover, William was a college student in his previous life, so there was no problem with his intelligence. He was more patient than his so-called "peers" and knew better what he wanted.

In fact, if he had the money, William would have loved to move the entire bookstore back home.

Cedric looked at William in surprise and said, "There's really no need to buy so many books. Some of them are available in the school library; that's where the largest collection of books in the entire wizarding world is."

"Really?" William nodded. "But that's after school starts. There's still a long summer vacation."

What a joke... In his past life, William was the runner-up in the amateur group of the "Quantum Fluctuation Speed ​​Reading Competition"!

He is able to visualize dynamic images in his brain using his HSP (High Perception Sphinx), and read a book of about 10 words in three minutes.

Unfortunately... William transmigrated too early. He didn't know that after he transmigrated, the organization had already developed the ability to sense books with his eyes closed.

Only the Pirate King Roger possessed this ability to hear all things. If William were to learn it, Voldemort would be nothing compared to him, and he would be the one to kill him!

What a pity!

Seeing William still sweeping the books, Cedric said seriously, "I think you'll probably end up in Ravenclaw, where everyone is just as smart as you and loves reading."

William said noncommittally, "But as far as I know, you were the top student in your year, and you're from Hufflepuff School."

A blush crept across Cedric's face as he humbly replied, "I just worked a little harder than others."

Cedric continued proudly, "So, the long-standing rumor among the other three houses that we are the least intelligent house is wrong."

Hufflepuff may be the least boastful house, but we have produced just as many outstanding wizards as any other house.

"How about it, want to come to Hufflepuff?"

William chuckled, "Didn't you just say I was going to Ravenclaw?"

"Rational judgment and emotional inclination are two different things." Cedric blinked.

"However, these are not things we can decide; the Sorting Hat will make the decision."

"I keep hearing you talk about the Sorting Hat, but how exactly do we get sorted into houses?"

"It's a secret, William! You can't possibly know all the procedures before school starts."

"Hogwarts always needs a bit of mystery." Cedric patted William on the shoulder.

"Okay," William shrugged.

While they were talking, William picked up several more books.

When he paid the bill, he paid over a hundred gallons, and William immediately became a mid-level member of Flourish and Blotts.

The manager enthusiastically recommended, "Mr. Stark, we offer a book delivery service. We can send an owl to deliver your books free of charge within three days."

"Oh, thank you." After leaving his address, William took out two books from the box, which William could read over the next three days.

"Are you just going to take it back like that?" Cedric asked.

William, holding two thick books, asked疑惑地问道, "Otherwise what?"

"Hey, we're wizards, watch this." Cedric pulled out his wand.

"Yugadimurleviosa."

Two thick leather books floated in mid-air. Cedric tied a rope to them, and the books were easily pulled away.

"See, it only takes a gentle wave and a flick," Cedric demonstrated again, then asked, "How about that?"

"Amazing!" William's eyes lit up with an unprecedented light, and he then took out his wand, wanting to try the spell.

But just then, a commotion arose outside the door.

"A fight broke out!"

"A fight has broken out!"

The hoarse voice instantly echoed throughout the street, and many wizards who were buying books immediately dropped their books, lifted their wizard robes, and rushed out.

In an instant, the entire Flourish and Blotts bookstore was empty; even the salespeople and managers had vanished!

William: "..."
