I'm at Hogwarts, what the heck is this Primordial System?

Chapter 3: Knowing All Things, Making Friends with Owls

[You have obtained the Seven Apertures Exquisite Heart talent. Do you wish to claim it?]

Upon seeing this notification, Rhine swallowed back the words of complaint she had intended to utter about the system.

Ah yes, that's right, this isn't London, this is Chaoge.

How could he be talking to the steward? He was clearly speaking passionately and eloquently to Uncle Wang Bi Gan.

System, you have great eyesight, keep it up!

Then, Rhine looked at Flander, the butler, who was almost in tears.

"Your Excellency Flanders, you should go and rest. I'll go to sleep soon."

After Flander the butler left, Rhine took a deep breath, locked the study door, drew the curtains, and said something to the system in his mind.

"Receive the Seven Apertures Exquisite Heart talent."

The next moment, accompanied by a ding.

The information displayed on the light screen in front of Rhine also changed.

[Current connections: Uncle Wang and Bigan]

[Current Connection Level: Close Friends]

[Reward: Seven-Aperture Exquisite Heart]

At the same time, Rhine also had a very strange feeling.

His mind became clearer than ever before, and his senses became exceptionally sharp.

The world before my eyes seemed to have been wiped clean of dust, and had become brand new.

"Is this the innate talent of the Seven Apertures Exquisite Mind, capable of understanding all things and grasping their essence?"

"I don't quite feel that mystical effect yet, but I do seem to have become smarter. That feeling is probably even stronger than wearing the Ravenclaw crown?"

"This feels amazing! Even an ordinary person with this kind of talent could become a super achiever!"

At this time, Rhine also experienced some strange sensations in his body.

He could feel a strange power flowing through his body, which he could use to accomplish some truly miraculous things.

Rhine snapped his fingers unconsciously, a thought flashing through his mind.

"Restore my pen to its original state."

Then, to his surprise, he saw that the pen on his desk, which had been twisted into a pretzel, was slowly returning to its original shape under some inexplicable force.

A few minutes later, the pen, which had been completely ruined, was basically restored. Although some marks remained, they no longer affected its use.

"Although it took a while and the effect was less pronounced, it seems to have some kind of restorative spell effect?"

"It feels a bit like casting spells without a staff?!"

Rhine stared in surprise, then understood.

"It's a talent for having a seven-aperture exquisite mind."

"Originally, it was a little difficult for a young wizard to control the magic power in his body. He had to go through learning and training. But my Seven Apertures Clever Heart has greatly increased my control over magic power. It's now as easy as using my own arm."

"Is this the embodiment of understanding all things and getting to the bottom of their essence?"

Rhine felt a surge of joy.

In this way, even if his magical talent is not strong, it will not be difficult for him to achieve something in those disciplines that require magical manipulation.

At that moment, an equally surprised voice rang out in the room.

"Ah, a little wizard, casting spells without a wand, he's a genius!"

Rhine turned his head and saw that it was the messenger owl.

I was so focused on getting the system that I forgot about it. It's still stuck on the clock in my room.

Then, Rhine realized what was happening.

"Can I understand owl language now?"

"Holy crap, is this some kind of primordial talent?"

"I hereby declare that Parsley is being phased out. This thing is utterly useless; doesn't it even know what it means to be knowledgeable about everything?!"

Just as Rhine's gaze fell on the messenger owl, a notification appeared on the system screen again.

You have encountered a spirit crane kept by a master of the Chan Sect. Although it is a spirit beast, its cultivation predates yours by far. You should treat it with the respect due to a senior brother and not be impolite.

Try befriending them; you might gain some benefits.

By establishing a casual acquaintance with the Spirit Crane, you can gain the talent of night vision, allowing you to see darkness as day.

[By forming a close friendship with the Spirit Crane, you can gain the Wind Control talent, which will greatly benefit your wind-based magic and sword flight.]

[By forging a life-or-death bond with the Spirit Crane, you can obtain the Sun and Moon Essence Talent, which can increase your efficiency in absorbing spiritual energy from the essence of the sun and moon, greatly benefiting your cultivation.]

Rhine paused for a moment.

The Hogwarts messenger owl has become a crane?

Great, system!

Immediately, Rhine's gaze towards the messenger owl also became fervent.

Although these talents are not as good as the Seven Apertures Exquisite Heart, they are all quite useful.

Night vision is effective in environments such as forbidden forests and enclosed rooms.

The ability to control the wind should give him a unique talent for riding flying brooms, and he might even become a Quidditch star in the wizarding world.

Or at least if you encounter danger, using a flying broomstick to escape would be faster.

The latest novel is first published here!

As for the talent of "Sun Essence and Moon Essence," Rhine was a little unsure.

If this were truly in the primordial world, the ability to absorb spiritual energy would be incredibly useful.

But this is the magical world; there's no guarantee that there will be spiritual energy for me to absorb.

But this kind of talent from the primordial era cannot absorb magic power without spiritual energy.

Getting your hands on it is never a bad thing!

Without saying a word, Rhine took out a bag of beef jerky that he usually ate as a snack from his desk drawer and handed it to the messenger owl.

The mail owl was already hungry, and although it disliked Muggle food, it still opened its mouth and swallowed one.

Then its eyes lit up.

"What kind of beef jerky is this?"

"It may not be as good as fresh meat, but it tastes really good!"

Rhine grinned.

"This is beef jerky specially made by a chef. Its texture and taste are incomparable to mass-produced products from outside."

"This small bag of beef jerky costs at least a hundred pounds."

"If you like it, I'll stuff some more into your bowl. You can eat it slowly at Hogwarts. If you have a favorite female owl, you can even share some with her. Wouldn't that be wonderful?"

The messenger owl's eyes were wide open.

"Wait, you can speak owl language?"

"!!!"

"Wait, put owl language aside for now, how much does this bag of beef jerky cost?!"

"How many Galleons is one hundred pounds?!"

Rhine waved his hand dismissively.

"Money doesn't matter. I'm sure you can tell that I don't lack money. What I lack are friends."

Then Rhine took out a wad of banknotes, rolled them into a thick ball, and stuffed them into the mail owl's mailbox.

"You must have had a long journey. If you consider me a friend, please accept this small token of your appreciation."

Feeling the heavy weight of the mailbox, the mail owl shuddered, its gaze towards Rhine becoming even more intense.

So many pounds, how many Galleons is that?

Should I open an account at Gringotts?

How much food can this be exchanged for?

Oh right, what did this little wizard say again? He wanted to be my friend?

The next second, the messenger owl flapped its wings repeatedly and stretched its head over to nuzzle Rhine affectionately.

"Little wizard, I've decided to be your friend."

"I hereby declare that you are now my best friend!"

A system notification appeared instantly on the light screen in front of Rhine.

You have formed a close friendship with Linghe.

You have gained the talent of night vision.

You have gained the Wind Control talent.
