People are in Hogwarts, What the hell is the flood system?

【You have established a superficial acquaintance with the girl, Gao Lanying, and received a talent reward – Exceptional Martial Arts】

【Claim reward now?】

Rhine's eyes lit up, a hint of joy on his face.

Being a good person, who knew there were such benefits?

Although Gao Lanying is not as famous as Deng Chanyu among the female cultivators in Investiture of the Gods, her combat record is no less impressive.

At most, Deng Chanyu would use Five-Colored Stones to beat her enemies black and blue, forcing them to flee in a sorry state. But when Gao Lanying's Solar Divine Needles were unleashed, they directly targeted the enemy's eyes. Taking advantage of this, she could often kill the enemy on the spot.

Countless famous immortals and gods have died under Gao Lanying's combo attacks. The Solar Divine Needles were a renowned hidden weapon in the world of Investiture of the Gods.

Rhine didn't expect that in his first year at Hogwarts, he would encounter two top-tier hidden weapon magic treasures from Investiture of the Gods.

Aside from the crafting method for the Solar Divine Needles, Rhine's attention was drawn to the other two rewards he received from befriending Gemma.

The talent 'Exceptional Martial Arts' is self-explanatory, completely overshadowed by 'Mastery of Staff Techniques.' Rhine had already labeled it for melting down.

However, the second talent, 'Eyes Like Lightning,' not only significantly increased eyesight but also provided resistance to various flash-type spells, making it quite practical.

Moreover, Rhine already possessed similar talents like Night Vision and Keen Hearing and Sight. If he fused them together, he might be able to create Clairvoyance or even something like Innate Spiritual Eyes, which would be a huge win!

It seems he'll have to interact more with this Gemma in the future.

Just then, a familiar shadow flew over the castle from the sky.

Rhine's owl, Hermes, flew in from the horizon, landing on Rhine's shoulder and nuzzling him affectionately.

He brought Rhine today's Daily Prophet, which, as usual, was filled with useless nonsense. The most valuable part was the joke section in the newspaper's margins.

Besides that, there were two letters.

One letter was from Warwick, who, after hearing that Hagrid would also be involved in the Pokémon project, excitedly expressed his gratitude to Rhine.

He had long admired Hagrid, a big shot who dared to raise Acromantulas, a 5X-rated magical creature, at Hogwarts when he was a student!

The other letter was from Ollivander.

Although he had a son, some past events had caused his son to leave in anger.

Now, he was becoming talkative with Rhine, the underlying message being:

"Our Ollivander family has connections all over the world. Don't let yourself be wronged at Hogwarts."

Rhine smiled, recalling the stamp Ollivander had given him.

He should find some time to see if he could befriend people through letters and see if the system recognizes it.

If it did, he might receive many unexpected rewards.

For example, Nicolas Flamel. Surely, the system wouldn't rate an alchemy master of his caliber lower than Snape, right?

At the very least, he'd be at the level of the Perfected Immortal Taiyi!

Even if the system didn't recognize this method, corresponding with masters like Nicolas Flamel would make future interactions easier.

While thoughts flashed through his mind, Rhine gently stroked Hermes's head.

"Tired from delivering the letter?"

"Let's go, I'll take you to the Great Hall for dinner."

"Later, I'll feed you some good stuff, making you faster than the Hermes in mythology, a true divine bird!"

As Rhine walked into the Great Hall, his roommates had already gathered at the table.

Seeing Rhine, Hermione was the first to ask with concern.

"Rhine, I heard you had diarrhea again last night?"

Ron and the others also looked worried.

From the time Rhine sent Harry back to the dormitory yesterday to this morning, they hadn't seen Rhine.

Did he have diarrhea all night?!

Hagrid's rock cakes are terrifying!

The Weasley twins, on the other hand, were beaming.

"Rhine, if you get any more rock cakes, give them to us."

"Maybe we can use them as laxatives?"

"If not, it's not bad for clearing the bowels when constipated."

Rhine's cheeks twitched slightly.

Fortunately, at this moment, a dense sound of owls flapping their wings interrupted this heavy conversation.

Neville exclaimed, attracting Rhine and the others' attention.

"My grandma sent me a package!"

Neville was a little apprehensive.

"I only wrote to grandma yesterday. I only remembered to write then, telling her about my part-time job in Professor Sprout's greenhouse."

"I don't know what grandma will say…"

"She must be worried about me, afraid that I'll mess everything up because I'm clumsy. You know, I've always been like this."

Thinking of this, Neville's face trembled slightly, but he still slowly opened the package.

Then, a thick letter and a smaller, more exquisite package came into view.

Neville first opened the letter, his eyes quickly turning red, and his eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of fog that couldn't be wiped away, fluttering.

After reading the letter, he handed it to Rhine in surprise.

"To me?"

Neville nodded.

"I told grandma that you encouraged me to study Herbology and that you took me to plead with Professor Sprout. Grandma asked me to give you the letter after I finished reading it. She prepared a gift for you."

Rhine took the heavy letter, filled with confusion.

Then, Rhine's expression immediately became serious.

Inside the letter were Neville's grandma's words to Neville, and a stack of photos she had sent.

"Dear Neville, you are growing faster than I imagined. I thought it would take you a long time to grow up."

"Don't worry, I won't scold you. You are the pride of the Longbottom family. You are the child of heroes."

"I have already gone to St. Mungo's Hospital and told your parents about this. Although they haven't woken up yet, I guarantee they heard it. Look, they are smiling just like every time you go to see them."

Then there was a shiny L-shaped badge and a message for Rhine.

"And dear Rhine, I will always remember your help to Neville."

"The Longbottom family appreciates your friendship. Please accept this badge representing friendship."

"I wanted to find a useful magical item for you, but I am ashamed to say that the treatment costs at St. Mungo's Hospital are really high. I can only find this suitable thing after rummaging through the boxes. I hope you will accept this gift."

"In some occasions, the reputation of the Longbottom family is still useful. May the ancestors of the Longbottom family also bless you."

Rhine carefully held up the badge.

The next moment, the Seven Aperture Exquisite Heart suddenly transmitted a strange feeling.

Rhine's pupils suddenly contracted.

"This badge…"

"Carries luck? A treasure of luck?!"

The third chapter. There's one more.
