In addition, the wizard's appearance and skills are relatively simple. The spells that the two wizards can cast are the same, which can lead to some aesthetic fatigue after a while.
Most importantly, the twins focused too much on the realism of the wizarding combat, forgetting that the core of the game should be gameplay.
However, Su Yu still gave his approval, saying, "Wow! A very good game! I knew you two were geniuses in this area!"
George and Fred looked delighted and asked, "Professor Su, can this game be released online?"
Chapter 74 The Weasleys
"Going online? That's a long way off!" Su Yu rejected the twins without hesitation. It wouldn't matter if the two brothers were just playing by themselves, but if they were going to go online, then it was a long way off.
"Huh? Where are we still lacking?" George and Fred asked, somewhat unconvinced.
However, their voices were a bit loud, attracting the attention of the other people in the room, who all gathered around.
You should know that ever since Fred and George created this game, they have been showing it to their family every day, including Harry Potter, who had just arrived at the Weasleys' house.
Whether it was family members or Harry, they were all shocked when they first saw this virtual 3D game, which gave Fred and George immense confidence.
They believed that with this game, they could become an overnight sensation and a well-known figure in the entire magical world, but now, their teacher had rejected their hopes.
Instead of answering the twins directly, Su Yu turned to Ron and asked, "Ron, have you played George and Fred's new game?"
“Yes, Professor.” Ron nodded.
"what do you think?"
"It's fantastic, a completely new and exciting experience!"
Su Yu nodded and continued, "If you had to choose between playing this game all day or playing Wizard Chess all day, which would you choose?"
“Wizard Chess!” Ron said without hesitation.
Fred and George glared at Ron, who shrank back and hid behind Molly.
"And what about you, Harry?" Su Yu asked again.
Harry glanced at the twins, gave them an apologetic look, and said, "I think it will be Wizards Chess."
The twins immediately lowered their heads, but Su Yu changed the subject: "Actually, the game you made is not bad, but you forgot the most important point, which is gameplay."
"Professor Su, what is playability?" George asked curiously.
Su Yu couldn't quite articulate such a conceptual thing, but he could give an example: "For instance, your setting that you will fail as long as you are hit by a spell is very problematic."
"For example, if I play this game with Harry, in real life I can defeat Harry in one move, and in the game I can still defeat Harry in one move, then Harry's game experience will be terrible."
George and Fred were taken aback. They hadn't really considered this point, because their skill levels were about the same in real life, and they could go toe-to-toe when they fought each other. They had unintentionally overlooked this matter.
Su Yu said, "You can add a health bar. For example, the Explosion Curse will take away 1/4 of the health, and the Sleep Curse will take away 1/5 of the health."
"In this way, even wizards with vastly different skill levels can still feel involved in the game, which is a kind of gameplay."
Fred and George suddenly realized, Molly and Arthur nodded repeatedly, and Ron exclaimed in amazement: "Yes, yes, every time I play with George, I get killed instantly, and I have no motivation to continue playing."
"Could it be because you're too bad at the game? You wouldn't last thirty seconds playing against me!" Ginny taunted in a low voice.
Ron immediately retorted, "That's because I let you win. I've beaten you before, okay!"
Ginny was about to speak when Su Yu interrupted her, saying to the twins, "See? Only when players see a glimmer of hope for victory will they continue playing."
“In addition, I think you can add different characters, such as Slytherin, Gryffindor, Hufflepuff…”
"Their basic skills can be the same, but each person should have their own unique finishing move..."
"For example, you can make several fight scenes, such as Hogwarts Castle or Diagon Alley..."
Su Yu rattled off a whole bunch of elements from classic fighting games from later generations, which Fred and George listened to with frequent nods. They even turned on the recording function on their phones to record everything Su Yu said.
The other children were equally excited as they listened to Su Yu's description. They had even begun to imagine themselves controlling Slytherin or Gryffindor to defeat their opponents.
“Teacher, you are truly a genius. I’ll go with Fred to improve the design right now.” After saying that, George was about to pull Fred away.
Su Yu said, "Don't rush, here's 500 pounds. When you have time, you can go to the London electronics market and try out the latest Muggle fighting games, Street Fighter II and Fatal Fury. Maybe it will give you some inspiration."
Su Yu originally wanted them to try out King of Fighters, but the earliest version of King of Fighters wasn't released until 1994. Fortunately, both games are classics and should give George and Fred some inspiration.
After the children had gone some distance, Su Yu looked at Molly and said, "Molly, I just heard from Arthur that Ginny is going to school next semester!"
“That’s right, Ginny is a very talented child!” Molly was still very proud. After all, apart from Ron, who was a little mediocre, the other Weasley children were all very outstanding.
Su Yu said, "In that case, you'll be home alone after school starts, right?"
At this point, Molly was clearly somewhat downcast. For many years, since giving birth to her first child, Molly had quit her job and returned to her family to become a full-time housewife.
This left the Weasleys with only Arthur as their sole source of income, which became extremely difficult until Bill graduated and went to Gringotts in Egypt, after which things began to improve.
Molly had gotten used to this kind of life over the years, but now that her youngest child, Ginny, was about to start school, she was suddenly all alone at home, which left her feeling a little lost.
Su Yu suggested, "The Feiyu Magic Mobile Phone Experience Store is currently short of an accountant. If you are interested, I hope you can come and help me. After all, this position is very important, and I don't trust just anyone."
Su Yu's words were very eloquent. His real purpose was to provide the Weasleys with more financial resources so that their lives would not be so difficult. However, when he said it, it sounded like he was asking Molly for help.
Molly and Arthur naturally understood what Su Yu meant, but Molly really needed such a job, otherwise Ginny would probably have to buy second-hand textbooks this year.
"Thank you, Sue! You're such a kind person!" Molly exclaimed excitedly.
"I should be thanking you, thank you for being willing to help me! You can report to Hogsmeade Village tomorrow, and I'll explain the specific job duties to you," Su Yu said with a smile.
Since he intended to elevate Arthur to a higher position, Su Yu naturally wanted to establish a closer relationship with the Weasley family. Su Yu always believed that shared interests were the strongest bond between them.
"By the way, Molly, when are you planning to buy textbooks for the children for the new semester?" Su Yu asked again.
According to his memory, Lucius Malfoy must have put Voldemort's Horcrux into Ginny's textbook around this time.
From the wreckage of the bouncy pot, Su Yu found some magical runes targeting the soul. He was now eager to test how these runes would affect Voldemort's Horcruxes.
Chapter 75: The Changed Storyline! Part 1
Back at Hogwarts, Su Yu first went to Dumbledore's office and told him everything that had happened to Harry.
Dumbledore thought for a moment and said, "Sue, whose house do you think this elf belongs to, and what is the conspiracy he mentioned?"
Su Yu rolled her eyes: "Professor, if I knew everything, why would I be here talking to you?"
Dumbledore was taken aback, but he wasn't angry. He said, "Now that you know the whole story, I'd like you to continue investigating the truth behind it. If possible, do your best to ensure Harry's safety."
Ding! Congratulations on triggering the main quest, The Headmaster's Request: Please investigate the truth behind the conspiracy against Harry Potter next semester and ensure Harry Potter's safety. Reward: +1 General Skill Point.
Upon receiving this hint, Su Yu immediately beamed with joy. Just as he had guessed, this year's main quest still had two storylines: one focused on Harry Potter, and the other on Dumbledore.
Accepting Dumbledore's request, Su Yu returned to his office. With his free skill points back to 2, Su Yu decided to first raise his Transfiguration skill to LV8.
After his trip to the Jumping Pot Secret Realm, Su Yu's previously inflated ego cooled down, and he began to think about his fighting style and combat system.
For the past ten years or so, Su Yu has mostly fought using alchemical tools, which is his forte.
However, the disadvantage of using alchemical tools in battle is also obvious: it requires prior setup and preparation. This is not a problem if it is a duel.
In the event of a sudden battle, or on the enemy's home turf, this method of combat becomes very limited.
But the combination of Transfiguration and alchemy to create an integrated die-casting machine showed Su Yu new possibilities. Imagine being able to use Transfiguration and alchemy to create alchemical items specifically designed for your enemies while fighting them—that would be…
Therefore, Su Yu's next goal is to raise both Transformation and Magic Power to LV10 and see how effective this combat system is.
With two skill points invested, a whole host of knowledge about Polymorph flooded into Su Yu's mind. He had been studying Polymorph without interruption recently, which had allowed him to make even greater progress during his breakthrough. After completing the skill point allocation, Su Yu felt that he could start preparing for Animagus Polymorph.
In the following days, Su Yu checked the news on Toutiao every day, and Arthur Weasley became the most talked-about figure in the wizarding world.
On August 1, Arthur Weasley led a team that searched nine wizarding homes, finding four dark magic items and 17 unauthorized Muggle items.
On August 3, Arthur Weasley proposed a new Muggle Protection Act to ensure that wizards would not cause uncontrollable harm to Muggles when they had to come into contact with them.
On August 4, Arthur Weasley proposed a new "Muggle Item Usage Recommendation" to promote the use of excellent Muggle items in the wizarding world and create a more convenient living environment for wizards.
Meanwhile, Toutiao occasionally inserts the latest Muggle technology products into some short stories, subtly changing wizards' perception of Muggles.
On Friday, August 7th, Su Yu arrived at Diagon Alley. Today was the day Molly was taking the Weasley children to buy new books. Su Yu was also very excited, wondering what surprises Voldemort's Horcruxes would bring him.
He didn't go directly to Molly and the others because Gilderoy Lockhart's new book launch was underway, and Su Yu really didn't want to have too much contact with this guy, so he went to the Avery family's mobile phone store first.
The store opened on August 1st, and the mobile phone brand is still Feiyu. However, the Avery family runs the die-casting machine 8 hours a day, and prepared a full 1200 Magic Phones on the day of release, and can provide 40 more every day thereafter.
The abundance of stock made the store extremely popular. Su Yu glanced around and found that the store's facilities were basically copied from the Hogsmeade Village experience store.
After chatting with the shop assistant for a few minutes, I discovered that all 1200 phones in stock had been sold out, and the 40 phones sold each day would also be sold out within 6 hours.
After learning about the situation, Su Yu turned and went to Flourish and Blotts. As soon as he entered, he ran into Lucius Malfoy verbally belittling Arthur's family.
“Arthur, you seem to be very busy lately. I heard you’ve raided quite a few wizards’ homes!” Lucius Malfoy said.
“So many searches… I bet the Ministry of Magic paid you overtime, didn’t it?” Lucius said, reaching into Ginny’s cauldron and pulling out a copy of “The Beginner’s Guide to Transfiguration” from among Lockhart’s brand-new, shiny books.
“It seems so. If I remember correctly, the Weasley kids always have to use secondhand books, but this year they bought new ones. Your father loves you very much, little girl!” Lucius said, putting the book back into Ginny’s cauldron.
Lucius Malfoy reached out to touch Ginny's face, but Arthur stopped him, saying, "Lucius, get your filthy hands off me. You'd better stay away from my daughter."
As Arthur spoke, he pulled Ginny aside, shielding her behind him. Lucius, however, scoffed, "What? Did you think I'd want to introduce this girl to my son? Our Malfoy family would never marry into the scum of the wizarding world."
Lucius Malfoy's words completely enraged Arthur, who threw a punch straight at Malfoy's face, and the two began to wrestle, knocking over several bookshelves in the process.
"Dad, beat him up!" the twins shouted excitedly.
Molly screamed, "No, Arthur, no!"
The Grangers behind them were equally dumbfounded. They never imagined that wizards with magic would fight in a way that was no different from Muggles.
Lucius Malfoy kicked Arthur away, using the momentum to do a backflip, and at the same time pulled his wand from his pocket.
Arthur clutched his chest, momentarily unable to catch his breath. When Molly saw Lucius Malfoy pull out his wand, she tensed up and drew her own, pointing it at Lucius.
Just as the situation on the scene was becoming increasingly tense, Su Yu stepped forward and said, "Lucius, long time no see. I didn't expect that your fighting skills have improved so much over the years!"
Su Yu certainly knew Lucius Marty. He remembered that when he was in second grade, Lucius was already a seventh grader.
Back then, Su Yu invented many gadgets to make money, and Lucius was one of his most important clients.
At that time, Lucius was a prefect in Slytherin, and Snape was a rising potions prodigy in Slytherin. Presumably in order to win Snape over, Lucius stood up for Snape several times when Snape clashed with Potter.
However, one conflict escalated into a brawl between Slytherin and Gryffindor, and Lucius ended up being the one who got beaten the worst.
