Hogwarts: This holy light is righteously evil.

"Heh, what is there to restrain about the Black family?" Puni rolled his eyes.

“Good question, I’d like to know too.” Regulus shrugged. “But those pure-blood families love to do all this fancy stuff.”

“Alright, Uncle, let’s go to Diagon Alley and end this idle chatter,” Puni interrupted.

Regulus looked hurt: "Oh, my dear nephew, don't you want to chat with your uncle all day long?"

“I wish I did.” Puni pulled Regulus’s hand and led him toward the fireplace.

"Alright, alright, don't rush, let's set off now." Regulus smiled gently.

He likes his nephew very much.

Honestly, I wish Puni was his son.

I think back to my own son who was always making a fuss at home.

Regulus's smile faded slightly.

Chapter 3, The Battle of the Golden Dragons—I really don't know how you came up with that idea in your little head.

Puni was fairly fond of his uncle who had survived.

He is a very gentle person.

They took the wrong path before, but were able to overcome all obstacles and find their way back.

He's an extraordinary person.

After his mother died, this uncle also helped him a lot.

After all, how could a mere child possibly protect such a vast family fortune from those greedy and treacherous 'pure-blood nobles'?

It really won't work without a respected elder to step up.

Oh, I almost forgot, most purebloods don't even know how to write the character for "righteousness".

Swish!

A flash of fire.

It was accompanied by a dizzying, vertigo-inducing sensation.

Puni and Regulus then went from their home to Diagon Alley.

Golden Dragon Magic Game Club.

It's a shop owned by Puni himself.

Or rather, it was the property left behind by the Lestrange family in Diagon Alley that Penny utilized after it went bankrupt.

The main operations are...

"Golden Dragon Wars and Werewolf, I really don't know what you were thinking. How could two card games cause such a huge stir in the entire magic world within two years?"

Regulus looked at the various card sets displayed in the back room of the store and couldn't help but sigh.

His nephew is absolutely amazing.

Not only did she leave behind his sister's bloodline, but she was also a prophet who provided him with crucial clues about Horcruxes.

He is even very talented in business.

He's played these card games before, and they're really addictive.

His son, in particular, is absolutely obsessed with it, constantly asking to come to his cousin's shop in Diagon Alley to play live.

He clearly bought him a golden dragon chessboard!

Why does he have to come to his cousin's shop to play when he can play at home?

"Uncle, you don't understand."

Puni shrugged. "My Golden Dragon Wars feature not only ordinary wizards, but also all sorts of strange and wonderful professions, especially the Fortune Bureau. If you gather ten Fortunes, Galleons, Resurrection Stones, and Golden Relics will rain down from the sky. Who wouldn't be overjoyed?"

Regulus nodded in agreement: "That's true, but your chessboard... is really expensive."

"My goodness, only thirty-nine Galleons, less than forty Galleons! You get to enjoy the thrill of competing with seven companions at the same time! Isn't that worth it?"

Puni's eyes widened. "And the cards on the chessboard are all free when you buy it! You don't need to buy any extra cards!"

“First of all, those seven companions also have to buy your chessboard, and you do not need to buy any more cards, but cards also have skins…” Regulus glanced at the various card packs in the room.

"If you can't afford a chessboard, you can still come to my shop to experience playing. For just ten copper knits, you can play a whole game."

Puni shrugged, then smiled. "As for the basic game cards, the game board already includes everything."

"These card packs are, of course, exclusive collectible card skin packs specially designed for advanced and experienced players."

"After purchasing and applying it to the chessboard, your card skin will instantly become more high-end and different from others, while never disrupting the competitive balance. It is purely a collection and status symbol for high-end players."

"And buying card packs also gives you a chance to unlock exclusive battle announcements and customized Little Legends. Aren't you tempted, Uncle?"

Regulus was even more exasperated: "What's the use of me not being tempted? Your brother is already going crazy at home trying to buy your skins, especially that Little Legend."

Puni coughed lightly: "Uncle, my cousin is still too young. Playing games in moderation is good for his brain, but playing too many games is bad for his brain."

Regulus glared: "Who says otherwise? That's why I haven't let him play with it lately, and that's why he's been making a fuss with me every day."

Puni fell silent.

In fact, the two games he created, Golden Dragon War, were far more popular than Werewolf.

His gaming club makes a fortune every day just from selling card packs and game boards.

So in addition to his original family fortune, he himself could be considered extremely wealthy.

"Well, actually, what family property did I originally have? Apart from what was in Gringotts, it was all confiscated by the Ministry of Magic."

The two walked out the door.

The lively atmosphere inside the store is palpable.

A crowd of people were packed into his store to buy card holders.

His card packs are divided into several tiers: Common, Rare, Epic, Legendary, and Mythic.

Each card pack contains five cards, mostly the common cards that come with the purchased board, though some may have different decorations.

In addition, each pack contains one rare card.

At this level, the game will start to glow faintly while it's running.

But going any higher, it becomes much harder to get out.

As for Little Legends, exclusive voice lines, battle announcements...

You have a chance to get it by buying regular card packs, but not often.

To increase the chances of getting a card.

You can then choose to purchase a premium card pack priced at one silver Sickle and one gold Galleon.

A Silver Sike card pack can yield at least three rare cards.

Each Galleon pack guarantees at least one Epic card and has a higher chance of unlocking a Little Legend.

Because he hasn't really learned magic systematically yet.

Therefore, the research on magical items is not yet in-depth.

Therefore, both the chessboard and the cards have many aspects that need improvement, or even complete redesign.

Puni plans to wait until he gets to Hogwarts and learns more about the principles of magic, then see if he can get a Little Heroes exclusive card pack, as well as paid items like monthly and annual cards for the board game, and battle passes.

Then we can make limited editions and Prestige Editions.

Now, you can unlock anything in the card packs.

In reality, the probability is extremely low, and there are very few rare items.

Because things like Little Heroes require design, and incorporating them into cards and boards is a huge and incredibly troublesome project.

Puni was a bit too lazy to work on it. He had only managed to get the low-level River Spirit that came with the chessboard, as well as a few minor heroes.

"There's one more thing. Once I get to Hogwarts, I must build good relationships with the professors. That way, I might be able to get them to help me with my game's development and use their image to improve my Golden Dragon Wars world view."

Puni glanced at the business in the shop.

It's still pretty good, very popular, but it's mostly students.

But who cares, as long as I can make money.

There's no rule that says underage wizards can't play games.

"Legendary!!"

A golden light flashed.

With a powerful and resounding sound.

The kids not far away suddenly started to stir.

"Hey! Oh my god! You got a gold card!!"

"It's a Hungarian hornet-saurus! So cool!"

"Look at its paws, they look a bit different from the ones I've seen in books! They seem even cooler!"
