The two handed the potion to Snape, and Lupin arrived just then. He immediately noticed the strong spatial magical fluctuations.
He thought someone was trying to steal the factory's trade secrets, so he carefully walked over with his wand in hand. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that it was Su Yu and the other two.
“You’re back so quickly! I thought you’d be back in at least three days!” Lupin said.
"Oh? How long have we been gone?" Su Yu asked curiously, while taking out his phone to check the time.
They discovered that only about three hours had passed since the three of them entered the secret realm, while they had been inside for a full day and a half. They hadn't expected such a time difference.
Su Yu's mind raced as he considered the application scenarios of this technology, perhaps it could be used to create a magical version of virtual reality games.
Using a mobile phone as a medium, a portion of the wizard's soul perception is linked to a virtual space, creating something similar to an open-world game...
Su Yu became more and more excited as he thought about it, and couldn't help but laugh until, with a slap, Snape slapped him across the face.
"What...what are you doing!" Su Yu covered his face and looked at Snape in disbelief.
Snape, however, suppressed a laugh and said calmly, "I saw you grinning like an idiot and thought you were under some kind of curse, so I was trying to see if I could wake you up."
"You're clearly doing this on purpose; you can barely suppress your smirk." Su Yu was furious and drew his wand. Today, he had to settle things with Snape.
Snape, however, had no intention of confronting them directly. With a wave of his wand, he was stretched out and sent flying.
Chapter 66 Dracula's Wrath
On the Scottish island, Dracula slowly recovered from his hallucinations, only to find that Su Yu and the others were gone. He realized that he had been tricked by this human wizard once again.
Last time it was that strange gas, and this time it's that strange light: You're just taking advantage of the fact that we vampires have low mental resistance!
Dracula roared furiously to the sky, then landed and transformed back into human form. He picked up the half-burnt book in human skin from the ground and said viciously:
"Do you think I don't know who you are? If you escape from here, where can you run to? Since you have the Jumping Pot, let's see how capable you are of protecting it."
As for Su Yu, after Snape escaped, he didn't actually chase after him. Next, he needed to focus on analyzing the remains of the Jumping Pot. He had already witnessed the wonders of the Jumping Pot, and there were too many things inside that he couldn't understand.
For example, the fact that the Jumping Pot has its own thoughts, the reason why it can conjure magic potions out of thin air, and its talk of absorbing souls to increase magic reserves are all extremely attractive to Su Yu.
Just as he was about to go back, Timo suddenly called him back. Timo bowed deeply to Su Yu and said:
"Mr. Su, thank you for helping me find the murderer who killed my old master and avenging me. I can never repay your kindness."
"Now that Teemo has completed his original mission, please accept me as your house-elf!"
Su Yu had anticipated Teemo's proposal, given his extensive preparations. He smiled and said, "Okay, Teemo, I accept your allegiance."
Teemo smiled genuinely and raised his wand above his head with both hands: "Master, please put this wand away. Now that Teemo is your house-elf, it might cause you trouble if I still carry a wand."
Su Yu thought for a moment and didn't take the wand: "You can keep it yourself. After all, this wand has special meaning for you, but don't use it in the future."
"Here's another one for you. It's called a spellcasting ring. Wear it yourself. It functions similarly to a wand. Remember, don't use it unless absolutely necessary." After saying that, Su Yu handed Timo a ring that was exactly the same as the one on his own hand.
At this point, the matter of the Jumping Pot seemed to be resolved satisfactorily. In the following days, Su Yu devoted all his energy to the reverse analysis of the Jumping Pot's magic runes.
After getting started, Su Yu slowly realized that the techniques he had been eyeing before, which sounded impressive, were actually even more impressive. To replicate these techniques, LV10 alchemy was clearly not enough. The Jumping Pot should be an alchemical product of the same level as the Philosopher's Stone.
That day, while Su Yu was still busy, Rita Skeeter sent him a message: "Boss, there are results on the matter you asked me to investigate."
"What is it?" Su Yu himself had forgotten.
Rita Skeeter replied, "It's Jack Avery. He usually lives at Avery Manor, which is located at xxxxx Buckinghamshire. He lives there with his wife, two sons, and two house-elves."
"Besides that, this Avery has also built a secret factory in the basement of the manor. They are trying to crack your magic phone, but don't worry, they are making very little progress. Here is a picture of Jack Avery."
After saying that, Rita Skeeter sent Su Yu a photo. Su Yu's eyes narrowed, and he immediately recognized her by comparing the data in her eyes. This was the guy who drank that bottle of brain-devouring worm eggs at his doorstep back then.
This is truly unexpected good news. Su Yu tapped his fingers on the table, pondering what to do next.
Now that his identity has been confirmed, all that's needed is some Jack Avery blood to activate the Brain-Eating Worm, and then I can take over the Avery family.
Su Yu's original plan was to sneak into Avery's house, knock him unconscious when he wasn't looking, and then extract his blood.
I just didn't expect this guy to be spying on my magic phone. If that's the case, maybe there's no need to infiltrate. Sending an invitation directly might have a better effect.
"Boss, this information was obtained by someone risking their life. It must be very useful to you." Rita Skeeter quickly added, trying to take credit, when Su Yu didn't reply for a while.
Su Yu knew exactly what he was thinking, so he asked, "How are things going with Fred and George?"
"Boss, it's not that I want to complain about them, it's just that those two are so outrageous. They don't understand anything about news, they design the page however they want without listening to my opinions..." Rita Skeeter began to complain bitterly.
And then there's this: Su Yu looked through the group chat between the twins and Rita Skeeter, and it seemed that Rita Skeeter wanted Toutiao's style to be more formal.
But twins are never going to follow the rules; they always manage to design all sorts of ingenious gadgets, which infuriates Rita Skeeter.
Su Yu asked directly in the group chat: "George, Fred, is the Toutiao app ready?"
“It’s done, teacher!” George replied immediately and sent Su Yu an installation package.
Su Yu clicked to install, and as soon as he opened the app, an adorable little Pu Rongrong popped out of his phone. Then, a fire snake jumped out from behind Pu Rongrong and swallowed her whole.
As a result, Pu Rongrong swelled up in the mouth of the fire snake, making the fire snake's entire head huge and its body taut. (Today's Headline!)
Upon seeing the animation effects, Su Yu's eyelids twitched involuntarily. No wonder Rita Skeeter complained; this art style is probably more suited to dissent.
It seems that having the twins develop the app for Rita Skeeter was indeed a mistake. Su Yu then added Cedric to the group: "Skeeter, you'll be working with Cedric from now on. He's more reliable."
“Thank you, boss!” Rita Skeeter said happily.
The twins were somewhat dissatisfied. Fred protested, "Teacher, I think our idea is great too. Do you see any problem with it?"
"No problem, we'll keep this idea for now. It'll have other uses later." Su Yu didn't bother to explain further.
George and Fred continued to protest in the group chat for a while, but Su Yu ignored them, so the two of them gave up.
In fact, the two were also very dissatisfied with Rita Skeeter, feeling that this woman not only had a foul mouth but also made many demands, always saying "I want the feeling of xx," but she couldn't offer even the slightest useful advice.
The task was left to Cedric, and the two were happy to have some free time. After all, their first game was just getting started and they still needed to spend a lot of time designing and rendering it.
Su Yu left the group chat and sent Lupin a message: "Remus, can you contact Jack Avery for me and invite him to visit our store? Tell him that I hope to have some business cooperation with the Avery family."
Lupin, who knew the wizarding world quite well, immediately said, "Business cooperation? The Avery family raises owls; they're our complete competitors. What kind of cooperation could we possibly have?"
Chapter 67: Collaboration with Avery
At Avery Manor, a house-elf entered the study with a letter in his hand and said respectfully, "Master, there is a letter for you!"
“A letter? Let me see!” Jack Avery took the letter. These days, very few people write to you. It must be something important.
Dear Mr. Avery:
I am Remus Lupin, the factory manager of Feiyu Magic Mobile Phone Factory. I am very pleased that you have taken the time to read my letter.
For centuries, the Avery family has been involved in the wizarding communications industry, and they produce more than 80 percent of all the owls in the UK, which is a remarkable achievement.
As you probably know, our Feiyu mobile phones are also dedicated to improving communication efficiency among wizards and providing them with a higher quality of life.
I believe we share the same goals and there are certainly many opportunities for cooperation. Therefore, we sincerely invite you to visit our magic factory this Saturday.
From Remus Lupin, Factory Manager of Feiyu Magic Mobile Phone Factory
Upon seeing the letter, Jack Avery was quite surprised. He had recently conducted a detailed investigation into the Feather Magic Phone Factory, including the owner, Su Yu, and the factory manager, Remus Lupin.
He was now certain that this Su Yu was the alchemist his group had been trying to capture back then. However, Avery had worn a Death Eater mask the entire time, and even when he drank the bottle of brain-eating worm eggs, he only revealed half of his face. He was confident that he hadn't been exposed.
Little did he know that Su Yu had already seen everything happening outside the door through the hidden reconnaissance guards, and had used the guards to analyze and record the structure of half of his face, waiting for the day he could return to England to avenge him.
So Avery was very anxious at this moment. This was too abnormal. He and the other party were complete strangers.
Moreover, strictly speaking, the two sides are still competitors, so why would the other party invite me to visit their core trade secrets?
Avery knew there was something wrong with this, but he was also very tempted. The reverse engineering of his family's magic phone was progressing impressively, and the magic network was still a mystery. If he could obtain the other party's technology, the future of his family would be guaranteed.
Su Yu's move can be considered a calculated strategy. He knew exactly what Avery wanted, and even if he had some doubts, he would definitely come.
"Go and fetch Rad here!" Avery ordered the elf.
Before long, Rad was summoned. It was the gaunt old wizard who was in charge of the reverse engineering of Avery's magic phone.
Avery handed the letter to Rad and said, "This is a letter from the person in charge of Feiyu Mobile. Tell me your thoughts."
Rad took the letter, glanced at it briefly, and, unaware of the entanglement between Avery and Su Yu, thought it was an opportunity. He immediately said excitedly, "Sir, please agree quickly and be sure to take me with you on the visit."
Avery was exasperated: "Don't you think there's something wrong with this?"
Rad asked, puzzled, "What could be wrong with that?"
Avery pointed to the signature on the letter: "Don't you think we're in competition? Why would they invite me to visit?"
Rad laughed: "To be honest, sir, do you really think Feiyu Mobile wants to make money by selling mobile phones?"
"Isn't that right?" Avery asked doubtfully.
Rad said, "Of course not. After my research over this period of time, I can almost conclude that the way Feiyu Mobile will make money in the future will definitely shift from the mobile phone itself to the magical network."
"Think about it, there are only about 15,000 wizards in the whole of Britain. Even if every wizard in Britain bought a mobile phone, it wouldn't be long before no one would buy one anymore."
"But the magic network is different. Right now, Feiyu is offering the magic network to the public for free, but what happens when wizards get used to its convenience, and when the number of wizards owning mobile phones increases?"
"Will Feiyu Mobile start charging for its internet services? Also, there's that Wizard Chess game. I'd guess there are definitely over a thousand people playing Wizard Chess online every day."
"Reaching the corresponding level will unlock chess pieces and chessboards with the corresponding color schemes. If Feiyu were to release a gorgeous chessboard and chess pieces that require purchase, how many people do you think would buy it?"
Upon hearing this, Avery gasped. He was one of those thousand chess players, and he had already reached the Glory Gold rank, now aiming for the prestigious Platinum rank.
If a truly gorgeous and unique chessboard and piece color scheme were released, he would most likely be willing to spend the money.
"So you mean, they might actually want to cooperate with us?" Avery's wariness began to decrease little by little.
"That's right. This Feiyu Magic Phone Factory is obviously undercapacitated. Their magic network will definitely have to wait until the number of people owning phones reaches a certain level before they can make money."
"Then how can we quickly increase the number of people with mobile phones? The answer is to find partners, sir. They may have approached more than just us, so please agree quickly and be sure to take me with you."
If Su Yu were here listening to Rad's words, he would definitely applaud him and might even consider poaching him, because in some ways, Rad's ideas were exactly what Su Yu was thinking.
With Rad's assist, Avery finally dispelled most of his doubts and couldn't wait to reply to Lupin.
Dear Mr. Lu Ping:
It is a great pleasure to receive your invitation. The past glories are behind us, and new glory is shining upon the earth.
Clearly, the Flying Feather Magic Phone is the brightest new star in the magic world right now, and it is an honor for me to have the opportunity to visit the Flying Feather Magic Phone factory.
I will arrive at Hogsmeade Village at 10:00 AM this Saturday, accompanied by my retainers. I hope you do not mind.
From Jack Avery
