I've already become a Hogwarts professor, and the system only just appeared.

"Hey Ron, look! That's Mrs. Weasley!" Hermione saw Molly in the Feather Experience Store through the clear glass.

Ron was startled and turned to run, but Molly seemed to sense something and saw Ron as well. Molly came to the entrance of the experience store and waved to Ron, saying, "Ron, come this way!"

Molly's voice was loud enough for everyone to hear, and many classmates turned to look at Ron. Harry and Hermione, laughing, dragged Ron along towards the Feather Experience Store.

“Hey, my little lion, you can come out to play on weekends now? Come to Mommy’s every weekend from now on so Mommy can see you!” Molly gave Ron a hug, but her words made Ron feel a little ashamed.

"Mom, she's outside!" Ron reminded her, his face flushed.

"Alright, alright, our little lion is a bit shy. Come on in, I can show you around the Feather Factory!" Molly ruffled Ron's hair.

Molly was originally a cheerful person, and now her job at Feiyu makes her even more happy, as if she has been given a second spring.

After browsing around the Feather Shop, Molly told them about Hogsmeade Village. Hermione decided to check out the bookstore, Ron wanted to go to a wizard chess shop, and Harry wanted to look at flying brooms.

So the three little ones decided to split up. The flying broomstick shop in Hogsmeade was called "Darker's Broomstick Shop," and it was run by a goblin named Darker.

As Harry walked in, a goblin immediately came to greet him. It was a young goblin, very thin, which made his already small body appear even smaller.

“Welcome, esteemed guest, would you like…” The goblin stopped mid-sentence, staring at Harry as he asked:

"Excuse me, are you Mr. Harry Potter?"

“Yes, that’s me!” This wasn’t the first time Harry had answered such a question.

The fairy opposite him became visibly excited: "Oh my god, it really is you! It's such an honor to meet you. My name is Barto, you can call me Little Barto."

“I am your devoted admirer. In fact, if you hadn’t defeated that person whose name cannot even be mentioned, I might be dead by now!”

Then Barto told him a very tragic story: more than a decade ago, Barto's house was requisitioned by Death Eaters, who treated his family like slaves.

His parents also angered the Death Eaters over some trivial matters and were tortured to death. Just when Butterworth thought he would follow his parents, Voldemort disappeared.

Then the Death Eater hurriedly left, allowing Barto to survive. From then on, Barto regarded Harry as his savior.

This story reminded Su Yu of Dobby, but this Barto seemed much more normal than Dobby; at least he wouldn't bang his head against the wall or anything like that.

After listening to him finish speaking, Harry smiled and said, "No need for that. In fact, I don't know what I did. It's possible that Voldemort made a magical mistake that caused him to disappear."

Harry felt embarrassed every time he heard someone attribute Voldemort's death to him. He knew very well that his magical abilities were no match for Voldemort.

Seeing that Barto still had something to say, Harry quickly changed the subject: "By the way, Barto, I came here today to see what new flying brooms are available."

Chapter 176 Su Yu took another step forward

"Oh right, it's all my fault, I was just too excited. What kind of flying broomstick would you like to see? Let me tell you about it." Barto smiled sheepishly.

“The fastest, the most agile!” Harry said, still using the Nimbus 2000 that Professor McGonagall had given him.

The broom is certainly excellent, but ever since last year, when Malfoy's father donated a Nimbus 2001 to the entire Slytherin Quidditch team, Harry has clearly felt that he is struggling much more in matches against Slytherin.

Barto said, "Dear Mr. Porter, from a professional sales perspective, a flying broom isn't necessarily better just because it's fast."

"Look at this 'Sweep Nine Stars', the newest model in the Sweep series this year. Its speed is similar to the Nimbus 2001, but its handling and comfort are unmatched by Nimbus."

"Then there's the Lightcycle 2002, Lightcycle's new product this year. It's about 5% faster than last year's 2001, but the Lightcycle series has a long-standing problem: its stability isn't good enough."

"And this one, Comet 1000, is also a new product this year. Comet's products are known for their design and are very popular with some sophisticated women, but I don't think you'll like it."

"Finally, there's this fire crossbow that appeared out of nowhere this year. It was independently and secretly developed and put into production by Mr. Randolph Spudmore, and it amazed the world as soon as it was released."

"Its speed is 10% faster than Nimbus 2002. While its handling and stability are not as good as the Sweeper series, they are better than Nimbus. It is said to have become the designated flying broom for next year's Quidditch World Cup."

"If I had to point out any flaws, it would probably be the price. If it were you, I could give you the cost price: only 3200 Galleons."

After listening to Bartolomeo's long explanation, Harry was somewhat tempted, but when he heard about 3200 Galleons, his heart died again.

It wasn't that Harry thought it was too expensive; in fact, the price Barthold gave him was already quite cheap. He remembered that before school started, the price tag in Diagon Alley was 4300 Galleons.

It's not that Harry doesn't have that much money, it's just that because he's a minor, Gringotts only allows him to withdraw 1000 Galleons per year without special reasons.

Seeing Harry's embarrassment, Bartolomeo smiled and said, "It's alright, Mr. Potter. I've heard that you are the youngest Seeker at Hogwarts. With your skills, you can win for the school no matter what broom you use."

Harry stopped looking at the firebolt and instead turned his attention to other Quidditch items, continuing to learn about them.

The human and the fairy were chatting here, neither of them noticing that a large black dog was quietly lying in the corner outside the shop.

They were completely unaware that an invisible house-elf was standing quietly beside them, listening to every word they said.

That evening, Harry and the others returned to school, but Su Yu went to the Feather Experience Store in Hogsmeade Village.

Although he rarely comes here, a special office has still been reserved for him. At this moment, Su Yu is sitting in his chair, listening to Timo's report.

“Master, after Mr. Harry Potter arrived in Hogsmeade Village today…” Timo spoke very carefully, mentioning almost every detail.

"So, you think this Barto deliberately approached Harry Potter?" Su Yu tapped his fingers rhythmically on the table.

Timo said, "I don't know my master, but fairies are all despicable creatures, and this fairy named Barto is a bit too enthusiastic."

Su Yu nodded: "Are all the things he said about his past true?"

Timo nodded: "It's true. It's easy to find out. He grew up in Hogsmeade and many people know him."

Su Yu thought for a moment and instructed, "In that case, we don't need to be too nervous. Just keep an eye on him and see if he does anything unusual on a daily basis."

The days that followed returned to calm, although the temperature at Hogwarts was much lower than in previous years, and a few dark figures could occasionally be seen around the castle.

With Headmaster Dumbledore in charge, the young wizards always believed that Hogwarts was the safest place in the world.

During this time, Su Yu also developed new functions for the magic network. Before that, Su Yu had essentially controlled public opinion in the British magic community.

Now, if he wanted to, he could create a household name in the UK overnight, though Su Yu wouldn't do that.

Dumbledore had become wary of him and was not prepared to show his true colors until he had reached the pinnacle of the magical world.

But his influence needs to expand further; he wants to extend his influence from the internet to offline entities.

Therefore, the latest feature he is preparing is online shopping, which he wants to bring together the interests of all the merchants in the British magical world.

Su Yu has already built the shopping platform's app, but to achieve online shopping, more than just one app is needed.

There are two difficulties in this matter. The first difficulty is how to persuade merchants to voluntarily set up online stores.

The second challenge was how to solve the payment problem. According to Su Yu's original idea, the solution was to cooperate with Gringotts.

Gringotts shares customer data and assets with Feather Magic Technology, which then creates a dedicated payment app based on this information, allowing customers to transfer their assets directly through the app.

This idea is perfect, but also naive. Putting aside the greedy nature of the fairies, just consider Gringotts' size and resources—why would they cooperate with Feather Magic Technology?

Therefore, this matter still needs to be considered in the long term. First, we need to cultivate the wizards' habit of online payment. Su Yu's first step is to develop game skins.

Currently, there are only two games in the app store: "Wizard Chess" and "Wizard Fighter," but these two games have a large number of players.

Wizard Chess attracted more than half of the middle-aged and elderly wizards in the wizarding world, while Wizard Fighter attracted more than 70% of the middle-aged and young wizards, and many wizards even played both games at the same time.

There have been many board and piece skins for Wizard Chess, but they are all tied to your rank. When you reach a certain rank, you will automatically receive the corresponding skin, and it is free.

In the online community of Wizard Chess, showing off skins is a matter of pride. Whenever someone pulls out their highest-ranking skin, it sparks discussion in the forum.

Therefore, many players have expressed their hope that Feiyu Magic Technology can release more unique skins, and they are willing to pay money to buy them.

Since the players' desire to spend money is so strong, what is there for Su Yu to hesitate about? He should just satisfy them.

Chapter 177 Su Yu Takes Another Step Forward

On the first Friday of October, Ron discovered that his favorite Wizarding Chess game had a new version, so he updated it immediately without hesitation.

After the update, following the system prompts, Ron entered the Wizard Chess shop and discovered that 10 new chessboard and piece skins had been added.

Unlike before, these chessboard and piece skins do not have rank requirements; instead, they need to be purchased with real money.

Prices vary, but on average, a set of skins costs about 1 silver coin. Ron has his eye on a very gorgeous Dragon Wings skin set.

In this skin, the chessboard has been transformed into a dragon's nest, all the chess pieces have been changed to the shape of dragons, and the special effects during combat are also incredibly spectacular.

The price isn't too high, 3.5 silver coins. With Ron's current monthly allowance of 3 galleons, he can easily afford it. The only problem is how to top up the account.

After checking the system instructions, Ron discovered that he could recharge his account at Hogsmeade Village or the Feather Experience Store in Diagon Alley. Considering that he would have to wait until tomorrow, he couldn't wait any longer.

“Ron’s gone, what are you still standing there for?” Harry asked.

"Where are you going?" Ron asked, puzzled.

"Are you crazy? There's a dueling club event tonight!" Harry urged.

Ron, however, was not very interested. He had been on stage at the Duel Club more than ten times, but he had only won against Su Yu a handful of times. He was always mocked by Hermione and said that he might as well play chess.

The thought of playing chess brought back memories of the amazing special effects of those skins in Ron's mind, so he opened his Wizarding Chess game and said, "Harry, look at these skins, aren't they cool?"

Harry glanced at it and said with a smile, "Hey, I thought it was something else! Wizarding Quick Strike has been updated too. I've got my eye on a Dumbledore Santa Claus outfit. It's so interesting."

"Wizard King has skins?" Ron really didn't know that, because he was terrible at Wizard King and didn't play it much.

Today, I'm completely absorbed in the Wizard Chess skin's special effects and can't think about anything else.

He then updated Wizarding Street and found that almost every wizard character had two or three new skins. However, unlike Harry, he was interested in Ravenclaw's succubus outfit.

The reason is simple: the skin has very little fabric, and the white breasts tremble slightly with every roll and movement, firmly capturing Ron's gaze.

Ron swallowed hard and said, "Then let's go to Hogsmeade Village together tomorrow to recharge our accounts!"

“Okay, no problem, let’s go challenge Professor Sue now!” With that, Harry grabbed Ron and ran toward the Duel Club classroom.

Today is the rematch between Su Yu and Sirius Black. Sirius lost last time, but he was not convinced. He felt it was because he did not understand Su Yu's methods and was not prepared.

After a month of recuperation, Sirius felt he was ready again and challenged Su Yu once more. When the duel began, Su Yu used the same strategy: he released metal crows and arranged them in a fan shape, placing five cannons in each.

However, this time Sirius didn't use the Ironclad Charm directly. Instead, he took out five pieces of metal from his pocket. As a master of Transfiguration, Sirius gently waved his wand, and five metal boars appeared in the field.

With a bang, the five cannons fired simultaneously, sending out five bullets carrying the elements of wind, thunder, fire, water, and earth towards Sirius.

Sirius Black also commanded his summoned metal boars to charge towards Su Yu's cannons.

With a clang, the bullet collided violently with the boar's large head, leaving a huge dent in the metal boar's forehead, while various elemental forces spread across the boar's body.

But the boars' charging momentum showed no signs of slowing down. In the blink of an eye, the five magical cannons that Su Yu had just summoned were completely destroyed by Sirius's boars.

Sirius laughed heartily: "Su, I told you, you can't defeat me twice with the same tricks. You're doomed to lose today!"

After saying that, the guy controlled the wild boars to turn around, and the five of them charged savagely at Su Yu together.

Just like Sirius Black last time, this kind of move is really hard to dodge when you can't Apparate in Hogwarts Castle.

Su Yu, however, remained unhurried and released two more metal crows, which landed on his feet, and then a pair of mechanical combat boots appeared beneath his feet.
