After a few pleasantries, Hermione picked out her wand and ran over from the counter, "Daddy, look I've got a wand." Then he saw Ryan and asked in surprise, "Ryan, are you going to Hogwarts too?"

"yes. ”

At this point, Mr. Granger and Mr. Lambert finished greeting, grabbed Hermione and said, "There's a lot of stuff on the list that I haven't bought, I think we're going to hurry." After that, he said goodbye to Ryan and left the wand shop.

After saying goodbye to Granger's father and daughter, Ryan came to the counter, and he found an old man who looked very energetic standing behind the counter, it should be Mr. Ollivander, he had a pair of light eyes, like two moons in the gloomy shop.

"Hello, I'm Ryan Leung, and I'm going to Hogwarts this year and need a wand. Ryan said hello a little nervously.

"Oh, a newcomer, let me see what kind of wand you fit into. Ollivander pulled the tape measure out of his pocket. "Which arm do you use to make your wand?"

"Well, I guess it's the right hand. Ryan replied.

The tape measure then wrapped around Ryan like a rattan and began to automatically measure the data of each part of his body. Ollivander took advantage of the opportunity to take some boxes from the back cabinet. "Wands aren't mass-produced, each one is unique, so I need to pass tests to find the right user for my wand. ”

The tape measure quickly measured the body data and curled up at Ryan's feet. "Then Mr. Lane, try this wand, made of ebony wood and unicorn hair. Eight and a half inches long. Very resilient. ”

Ryan swung it, and a box suddenly flew out of the cabinet, almost hitting him on the head.

It seems that the probability of hitting the bullseye right the first time is not high.

"Then try this again, holly wood, snake nerves, 11 inches long"

......

As soon as he reached the seventh wand, as soon as he grasped the handle of the wand, Ryan felt a warm current suddenly spread through his hand, and some sparks shot out of the wand.

"Ah, great, you're a perfect fit for this wand. Mr. Ollivander said with a smile on his face.

He put the wand in a long box, wrapped it in brown paper, and said, "Pine, phoenix feathers, twelve inches long, is a very picky wand for its master, and you are lucky." ”

After paying Ollivander eight Galleons, Ryan and his father left the wand shop.

After some purchases, there were only more than 70 Galleons left on him, and considering the Hogwarts bag for food and housing, so much money was enough in the school.

Eventually, they hailed a taxi out of the Leaky Cauldron and went home with a large bag of things.

At tea time, Ms. Sally kept asking the father and son about what they had seen today, and it took them a lot of effort to calm the curiosity of the boss in the house. While eating scones, Mr. Lambert asked Ryan, "Do you think wizards have a pen that can write their own novels?"

Ryan suddenly thought of the reporter's quill in the fifth grade, and said, "I think wizards can make their pens move, and there may even be pens that correct and modify errors, but Dad, you want a pen that can write your own novels, I don't think there will be." Mr. Lambert shook his head in disappointment.

......

During the rest of the holidays, Ryan immersed himself in the study of a large pile of textbooks at hand, occasionally going to a nearby park or fast food restaurant to discuss problems with Hermione Lori. Seriously, Ryan thought about staying away from the protagonists, but then it occurred to him that as an eleven-year-old kid, after knowing that he was going to a strange place, he began to alienate the only acquaintance he could go with, how suspicious this kind of thing is, so it would be better to go with the flow in the future.

Since this period of time is the only time before adulthood that can cast spells in the non-magical world, Ryan has used all the spells in the books in these more than 20 days, but unfortunately only some very simple spells can be used, it seems that spells can not be used if you know spells, and you can't practice peerless martial arts just by looking at cheats.

On the last night before heading to Hogwarts, Ryan packed his bags and prepared to go to bed early. Suddenly, a beep came from the system in my head.

If there are guests coming to the door, please do a good job of receiving them -

Ryan immediately got up and cleaned up. After thinking about it, I put some of the magic plant seeds I bought in Diagon Alley in my bag along with the cultivation manual, and then chose to go to the grocery store.

Entering the grocery store, Ryan found that it had not changed from the last time he left, except that on the edge of the flower pot on the shelf, there was an extra glass bottle, and inside was a large pile of golden grains the size of soybean grains.

Took the bottle. A stream of information came.

——Sunlight crystallization, a specialty of small planting bases, and light-producing plants produce one every two hours. It can be used to catalyze plant growth, as well as to provide sunlight.

——How to use, it is necessary to bury the roots of the plant and meet the needs of water and fertilizer. Soak the crystals in water when you need sunlight, which can provide an hour of equatorial midday sunlight within a radius of five meters. Of course, if crushed, you can get a burst of five times the brightness of the sun in three seconds.

Previously, Ryan asked the system to plant newborn plants in his yard, because zombies would not be interested when the house was empty, so except for the outermost pea shooter, Sunshine Mushrooms and Sunflowers were planted in half of the place. Now that small yard is full, it can produce more than 100 sunlight crystals in a day.

After seeing the new additions, Ryan sat down at the counter and let the system let the guests in. The air in the doorway twisted, and a middle-aged white man in a heavy fur coat walked in, with a thick layer of snow on his shoulders, as if he had just come from the icy snow.

When the man entered, probably feeling a little hot, he unbuttoned himself, and Ryan found that he was wearing a gorgeous Victorian-style gown inside.

He saw Ryan behind the counter, showed an expression of disbelief, and his steps paused for a moment, but finally walked to the counter and said with a serious face: "Son, my people and I are in trouble, and when we were about to despair, I was guided here by the voice of the dark, hoping that fate did not play a cruel joke on me. ”

Ryan said, "Can you tell us exactly what went wrong? I can only be sure if I can help you if I know what's going on."

The middle-aged man began to describe the predicament he faced, from the words London, global cooling, steam core, and winter home in his words. Ryan immediately knew that this uncle was from the Winter House in the previous game Frostpunk Age, and they were the people who chose to leave in a dreadnought after the explosion of the energy tower. However, the transfer turned out to be more difficult than expected, and now they are in difficulty.

Sure enough, the uncle spoke: "Our world has suddenly entered a harsh ice age, and the surviving human beings can only form settlements with the steam energy tower as the core, and survive on the heat and energy provided by it. But there was a problem with the energy tower in our settlement, and we had to leave there and choose to relocate. The decision was the right one, and as soon as we left, we saw the Tower completely destroyed in the explosion. Now most of our survivors can only rely on dreadnoughts that can move on the ice to find a new place to stay, but now we haven't found it, and we are running out of supplies, I ......"

Speaking of which, this steely and resolute uncle actually covered his face with his hands and cried, it seems that as a leader, he is under too much pressure.

Hearing this, Ryan raised his hand and tried to pat the master's shoulder to comfort him. Then he began to recommend the plants in his hands to middle-aged men: "I have three plants here, which should solve your current problem." ”

The uncle raised his head a little excitedly and asked, "Really?"

"Of course it is. "Two plants produce sunlight during the day and night, and the other normally produces 7-10 peas the size of an adult's fist a day, and the pea soup made from each pea is enough for an adult for a day." ”

After listening to the detailed introduction, the middle-aged man excitedly grabbed Ryan's hand and kept thanking him. After he calmed down a bit, Ryan asked, "I'm asking for an equivalent exchange here, what are you going to exchange it for me?"

The middle-aged man paused: "We were in a hurry when we left the UK, and we only brought survival supplies, not money." ”

Ryan looked at the valuation table given by the system and said, "I don't need your banknotes, I have a wide range of payment methods here, from precious metals, materials to technology." What I offer will save your lives. Correspondingly, you should also come up with something of similar preciousness. ”

The man thought for a moment and said, "You give me the seedlings and breeding techniques of these three plants, and I will exchange the technology of our most critical difference machine, energy tower, and robot with you." ”

"Deal, although for me your tech tree is completely different from mine, I'm sure I can't use it. As soon as Ryan finished speaking, a spatial door appeared next to the man, and a golden ribbon of light flowed out, turning into a book on the empty shelf, with a golden cover on the book cover, and on it was written "Winter House Industrial Manual".

After confirming the receipt of the payment, Ryan put all the plants except the ones planted and a book in a bag and handed them to the middle-aged man. At the same time, he handed over the bottle full of sunlight crystals: "It takes time for plants to grow and grow, you can use this to save the day." ”

The middle-aged man's eyes were a little moist, and he took out a delicate gold-shelled pocket watch from his arms and put it in Ryan's hand. "Thank you for your help, this is the most precious thing I have on me, I hope to express my gratitude to you. ”

With that, he bowed to Ryan, turned around and dragged away with a large cloth bag containing plants.

At this time, a voice came from the system -

You saved a city, changed your fate, and gained 3 offset points -

What is it?

Ryan looked at the system display panel and found that in addition to the connected world, there was a new data column on the offset point.

It turns out that every time his actions affect the original fate of a certain world, he can obtain a different number of offset points according to the degree and the world.

Offset points can be used to randomly open doors to a certain world, or to open doors to the world of customers who have visited the grocery store, or to wield power. In the grocery store, general knowledge from trading can be instilled into Ryan's brain for free. However, in terms of transcendent powers, the more extraordinary powers that differ from Ryan's world, the more offset points they need to learn quickly.

For example, if Ryan wants to learn internal force, it takes time and luck to learn just reading books and explanations, and after using the offset point, he can master it instantly.

After figuring out the usefulness of the offset point, Ryan opens a spatial door and travels to the world of Plants vs. Zombies to hand over the promised magical plant seeds to the crazy Dave.

Ten minutes later, Ryan appeared in the grocery store empty-handed, because Dave said that he could only decide what to pay if he was sure of the use of these seeds, but fortunately, the system prompted that his seeds provided inspiration for Dave's new plant development, so he was given 1 offset.

After taking care of all this, Ryan left the grocery store and returned to his bed, waiting for the next day's time to travel to Hogwarts.
