The Dark Lord's Guide to Employment at Hogwarts

In their eyes, people like Li Weide are simply the hottest commodity!

As long as they can get him a formula similar to the dragon pox potion, they will be able to make a fortune!

In addition, the reason why they have not yet developed a rejection mentality towards Li Weide is not only because Li Weide is suspected to have a powerful family backing him, but also because Li Weide's dragon pox potion formula is not free, and even charges a very high fee.

This is in line with the monopoly rules of pure-blood families, proving that Li Weide is a man who understands the rules.

That's why they came to do business with Li Weide.

However, Levid did not pay attention to other pure-blood families for the time being...but only replied to the letters from the Malfoy family.

He doesn't need to get involved in this kind of thing personally. The ones who understand the pure-blood family the most are the pure-blood family themselves!

Therefore, he only needed to let the Malfoy family act as his spokesperson. Whenever Levitra wanted to produce something valuable in the future, old Malfoy would naturally be able to gain more benefits for Levitra from other pure-bloods!

Levitra's behavior of only being close to the Malfoy family was immediately known to other pure-blood families.

Therefore, those purebloods who failed to curry favor with Levid ran to the Malfoy family...

Old Malfoy had just recovered from his illness and was actually still a little weak. However, after seeing those guys who usually looked down on him coming to visit him, Old Malfoy felt refreshed!

As a result, he became even more determined to follow Master Wade closely!

So, when he learned that Li Weide needed some funds for research, he didn't hesitate at all and directly took out 200,000 gold galleons and handed them to Li Weide!

Old Malfoy was so smart! In his opinion, Levitra, who used such a luxurious carriage when traveling, should not be short of money!

But even with so much money, Li Wei De still felt that he didn't have enough money when he wanted to carry out this research. What a great experiment that must be?!

With so much money invested, if the research yields results, how great will the returns be?

Of course, there is also the possibility of losing money, but... life is a gamble!

At the beginning, he placed his bet on Li Weide and won. In this round of gambling, he lost his life!

That was the dragon pox that all the healers at St. Mungo's were helpless to treat! And yet Levid could actually cure it!

So what was there for him to hesitate about? Just trust Li Weide!

I, Malfoy, have invested in this project!

Besides... 200,000 gold Galleons is still affordable for the current Malfoy family!

The transfer of such a large amount of funds naturally cannot be hidden from those who are interested.

As a result, the news that the Malfoy family strongly supported and invested in Levid was also spread!

Many pure-blood families immediately went to Gringotts to verify, and it turned out that the news was true!

What does it mean when a person who is known by everyone as a fence-sitter actually makes a move that is almost all-in?

This shows that this project is really stable! Otherwise, how could the extremely cautious old Malfoy be willing to take action?!

Thus, the doorstep of the Malfoy family was once again stepped on... However, last time it was to ask Malfoy to help them connect with Levitra, and this time, it was to send money...

In this regard, Old Malfoy naturally accepted it all! The more funds, the higher the probability of Levitra's research success!

Although some of his profits may be shared by other pure-blood families, some of his risks will also be shared.

Just one week later, when Toby returned from Gringotts, he brought a bill to Levid.

Li Weide looked at the long string of zeros on the bill and couldn't help but be stunned.

"Shit... these purebloods are really rich! And, Tom is right... the Dark Lord doesn't make his own money... this money comes faster than robbery!"

Levy pulled out a long list and handed it to Toby. "Please help me buy the materials listed above. The required gold galleons can be withdrawn from the vault. If you can't find them, go to the Malfoy family and ask... Some materials are priceless, but they may be found in the treasure houses of those pure-bloods."

"Understood!" Toby disappeared with the list.

Li Weide looked at the deposit receipt in his hand again.

"Tsk tsk, these guys...how much wealth have they exploited over the years? This is all the people's blood and sweat!"

Chapter 337 Revolution is like crossing a river by feeling the stones

With the huge amount of funds from the pure-blood families, Levid could finally start many of his experiments without restraint.

So, during the rest of the holiday, Li Weide often traveled back and forth between the safe house and the Knockturn Alley laboratory.

After Li Weide repaired the two pairs of vanishing cabinets, he placed one in the safe house and the other in Knockturn Alley.

Of course, he didn't put it directly in the laboratory in Knockturn Alley, but in a small room outside the laboratory with the Fidelius Charm.

When he first built this laboratory, Li Weide specifically left this room empty and did not include it in the Loyalty Curse.

In other words, even if someone in the safe house came to the room in Knockturn Alley through the Vanishing Cabinet, they would not find the door leading to the laboratory.

In order to prevent the people in Knockturn Alley from discovering this small room, Livid also set a Fidelius Charm for this small room...

Although the process is a bit troublesome, it has indeed reached the limit in terms of safety.

……

Because Professor Slughorn's negotiations with the Ethiopian Ministry of Magic are about to succeed.

So, these days, the experiments Li Weide conducts mainly focus on biological experiments.

Especially after obtaining a large amount of funds, Livid once again improved his super microscope while wearing the Ravenclaw crown.

So far, Li Weide has two methods to breed basilisks.

The first method is to directly hatch a basilisk baby according to the basilisk's hatching method.

The second method is to directly use a super microscope to observe the complete genome of the basilisk, and then edit the genome of the snake with the most similar genome based on the basilisk's genome, and finally clone it to cultivate a basilisk that is exactly the same as the basilisk in the secret room in a culture dish!

Relatively speaking, the first method is simpler, but the resulting basilisk baby does not have the magic power of the Millennium Basilisk, and the materials obtained from them may not have the magical power of the Millennium Basilisk.

As for the second method, the operation will be more difficult, but once successful, the bred basilisk will be exactly the same as the one in the secret room!

In this way, once he succeeds for the first time, Li Weide will be able to achieve mass production of Millennium Basilisk materials!

In fact, Li Weide prefers the second approach.

As an Oriental, mass production is a hobby ingrained in me, just like farming.

But the second way needs luck to succeed...

If you are lucky, it can be completed in a day or two. If you are unlucky, it may not be successful in a year or two.

Because in order to clone the Millennium Basilisk, we must first find the snake with the highest similarity to the Basilisk's genome!

The snakes with the highest genome similarity have fewer genetic sequences that differ from the basilisk, so fewer genetic sequences need to be edited, and the time spent is shorter...

Li Weide decided to carry out both methods at the same time. After all, the roosters needed for the first method had been almost bred, and they only needed to be fed with the transformation potion.

The second method requires a slow comparison, but there is no need to rush. With Tom here, he has no shortage of live snakes as experimental subjects.

Levitra hasn't finished comparing the bag of snakes that he asked Tom to catch in the Forbidden Forest.

However, progress has been very limited. So far, the closest genome to the basilisk is the viper, but the similarity is only 89%...

This means that if Li Weide wanted to directly edit the viper genome and turn it into the basilisk genome, he would have to edit more than 100,000 different gene sequences...

Every time this happened, Li Weide would feel a little sad, wishing he had an experimental team that he could completely trust.

Li Weide, a completely trustworthy person, could create it, but it would be difficult to find someone with the necessary biological knowledge...

Even if Levitra wanted to kidnap a few Muggle biologists, Muggles could not see the peculiarities in the basilisk's genes, so it would be of almost no help to Levitra.

"How could the Dark Lord earn his own money... In other words, how could the Dark Lord do his own research?"

That day, Li Weide in the laboratory was scratching his hair frantically.

Even the future Voldemort would invent some potions himself, but most of the potion inventions were handed over to Snape for development!

"It seems I have to hurry up and train my own lab assistant..." Levid sat dejectedly on the lab chair. "Tom is no good. He only wants to become stronger and has no interest in experimental research... Besides, Tom's heart is getting brighter and brighter now... Damn it, who can believe that Voldemort is going to become Dumbledore!"

Finally, feeling that he was about to burn out, Li Weide decided to go home and rest.

After cleaning up the laboratory, Levid Apparated into the small room, passed through the vanishing cabinet and returned to the safe house.

In the safe house, Toby and the others had long been accustomed to Li Weide's sudden appearances.

After seeing Li Wei De appear in the living room, Toby quickly served him dinner and the letters that arrived today.

Li Weide, with a tired face, sat down, prepared to eat something and read the letter again.

Opposite him, Tom and Jerry were each sitting in front of an easel, using their hands and feet to paint frantically with their pens...

Toby was very pleased with how well-behaved they were.

In fact, Li Weide has already contacted a film company in the United States for them.

Originally, Levid thought he would have to use nightmare magic or the Imperius Curse or something.

But unexpectedly, the Muggle company called MGM Studios, after receiving Levitra's submission, actually decided to accept this novel idea directly...

Li Weide had to send Andrews to the United States again to contact the people from this Muggle company.

After a few rounds of negotiations, the contract was signed... Look, these two are working on the draft!

The first draft was completed by these two guys, and then the Muggle company added details frame by frame, and finally made it into an animation...

Li Weide was not very clear about the details, after all, it was not something he was in charge of.

Now, Elena is going to be a transfer student, which means that Andrews doesn't need to spend too much time on Elena's homework.

Therefore, it would be better to let Andrews find something to do when he is free, so that this guy won’t be too idle and eventually run back to the Soviet Union for revenge.

After finishing his dinner, Li Weide opened the letter and started reading.

There are not many letters today, most of them are greetings from friends.

Among them, Professor Slughorn's letter made Levid somewhat excited.

Because his negotiations with the Ethiopian Ministry of Magic were complete.

The Ethiopian Ministry of Magic will provide the necessary space and enact the legal regulations for the breeding farm...

Li Weide and his team only need to provide a political donation of 10,000 gold galleons to the Ethiopian Ministry of Magic every year.

Seeing this, Livid had to admire Professor Slughorn's negotiation skills...

Originally, Li Weide thought that he would give the Ethiopian magic part a red, but now it turned out to be a direct "buyout".

All it takes is 10,000 Galleons a year, and they can do whatever they want...

Only after reading the end of the letter did Li Weide understand why the Ethiopian Ministry of Magic chose to buy out instead of distributing dividends.

Because Professor Slughorn was talking about a young basilisk...

It takes more than one or two years for a baby basilisk to grow into an adult one, which means you have to wait for a long time before you can get any benefits.

Therefore, the Ethiopian Ministry of Magic, which was in urgent need of gold Galleons, eagerly chose the buyout option.

In Li Weide's opinion, this is already a very satisfactory plan. After all, he is not short of money at all now!

But Professor Slughorn was somewhat dissatisfied, because in his opinion, the farm would not be able to make much profit in the short term, and ten thousand a year was too much!

After reading it, Levid immediately took the parchment and wrote a reply to Professor Slughorn, reporting to him the recent situation and telling him that he didn't have to worry even if there was no profit in the short term, after all, he was not short of money now!

Professor Slughorn naturally understood the answer when he saw the letter. After all, it was he who had handed the formula for the dragon pox potion to St. Mungo's.

After dinner, Li Weide, who was too tired, went back to his room to rest.

After taking the tranquilizing potion, Li Weide slept for a long time and did not wake up until noon the next day.

When he finished washing up and walked down the stairs refreshed, he found that Tom had come in at some point.

Li Weide noticed the suitcase next to him...

"How did you come?"

"School starts in a few days. You have a fireplace here...it will be more convenient to go to the station." Tom explained casually.

"What about your ancestors? And Elena?"

"Professor Dumbledore said only the two of us know about this," Tom said calmly. "That's why I didn't bring the old man. As for Elena... Andrews will naturally take her to Hogwarts in his carriage when the time comes. This is also Professor Dumbledore's arrangement. It seems that transfer students have their own traditions."

Li Weide couldn't help but touch his nose, "Tom, you really are... talking about Professor Dumbledore all the time..."

"Professor Dumbledore has taught me a lot. Is there anything wrong with me trusting him? Besides, he is not like someone who always tries to cheat me." Tom said seriously.

"Well, it seems that you are Dumbledore's favorite student, Tom... You should say the same thing next time you meet Grindelwald." Levid laughed out loud.

Tom didn't quite understand. He pointed at the cat and mouse who were still working on their manuscripts and said, "You...really treating them like slaves?"
