Chapter 32: New Skills and Christmas

Defoe was taken aback by Ryan's startling.

Before Defu could react, he saw Ryan take out a large bottle of sunlight crystals from his back.

"This is the essence of the sun, soak one in the water, and your earth will be as warm as the sun in the summer for half an hour. This bottle has 300 pieces, enough to get you through the winter. ”

Then Ryan felt out the chestnut-sized gold ingot again: "This is 1 catty of gold, it's spring, you can reopen your medical hall." ”

"Still. Ryan said, "I have a rule here that is an equivalent exchange, what do you exchange for these?"

Defu said: "As long as you are willing to help me, I will give you more than 100 catties." ”

Ryan shook his head with a smile: "I don't want a big living person here." ”

"Well, then I don't have anything else. Defu squatted down dejectedly.

"Your master is a miracle doctor, and his medical skills should be good, would you like to exchange the medical skills you have learned?" asked Ryan.

"Of course I do, but how can I give it to you?" Defoe looked puzzled.

"If you want. With that, Ryan waved his hand, and a white mist floated out of Defoe's temple, flew to the shelf, and turned into a blue-skinned thread-bound book.

"Alright, let's clear up. After saying that, Ryan handed the sunlight crystal and gold ingot to DeFu, and then Defu went out with a confused face.

Back in the courtyard, Defu thought he had a dream, but when he looked down, he saw the bottle full of sunlight crystals and gold in his hand. Immediately ran into the shack excitedly: "Master, I have met a fairy, we can survive this winter." ”

Ryan then heard a prompt from the system in the grocery store:

- Slightly change the fate of the Children of the Plane and gain 1 offset point.

Well, no matter how small a mosquito is, it's meat.

After comforting himself, Ryan looked at the new book. The blue cover reads "Handbook for Junior Chinese Medicine, Defu Edition". According to the system prompt, 2 offset points are required to learn this.

Although Defu's medical skills can only be regarded as ordinary, they are still at the level of attending doctors. In addition, Lane considers that he is likely to go to some ancient Chinese worlds in the future, and it is necessary to master the knowledge of acupuncture points and meridians, otherwise he may not be able to understand the cheats.

So Ryan finally chose to learn this TCM manual, and after consuming 2 offset points, countless pieces of information began to flow into his mind.

After 15 minutes, the indoctrination was over, and Ryan felt that he had mastered a lot of TCM knowledge, but in order to become a true TCM practitioner, he still needed to practice.

Ryan felt that this was difficult to practice in reality, after all, an 11-year-old child, no one believed that he would see a doctor.

It took a bunch of things to get a skill that probably won't be used for a while. After secretly sighing that he had lost a bit of a loss, Ryan returned to the real world.

......

Christmas Eve is fast approaching, and the day is an important time for Brits to shop, with plenty of room for discounts at various stores. Naturally, Ryan's adoptive parents also went shopping on Regent Street as in previous years.

Ryan, on the other hand, went to Diagon Alley to prepare some gifts for his friends, and Diagon Alley was also in a festive mood. Each shop is decorated with Christmas knick-knacks, and various Christmas celebration songs are heard along the streets.

After buying all the gifts and mailing them to friends at the Owl Post Office, Ryan swooped headlong into second-hand stores and searched for a pile of old books.

It took more than an hour for Ryan to buy two books. One is "One Hundred Common Potions Making", an old book published in 1893. There are a lot of potions that Ryan has never seen in a textbook, such as a quick hair dye potion, an age-increasing potion, and a modified version of the age-shrinking potion (which is easier to make and requires cheaper herbs, but only lasts 15 minutes. )

There was also a copy of the Defence Against the Dark Arts class notes that looked like they were left by the top students, and at least Ryan felt that with some of them, he could try to teach himself the Unconscious Charm.

On Christmas Eve, Ryan went to bed early. Because Christmas Day is the most fun, you will receive Christmas presents and a big meal at noon.

When he woke up the next morning, Ryan found himself receiving a bunch of gifts. There was a new set of clothes from my parents, and a string of sandalwood bracelets mailed by my grandfather from the East. There were also some gifts from the students. For example, Hermione gave her a brand new set of quill pens (a hint that she didn't usually write enough?), Harry gave her a box of assorted candies, and Longbottom gave her a box of soothing spiced tea. (This must have been prepared by his grandmother.) )

What surprised him the most was that Professor Sprout had given Ryan a copy of her notes on herbology from her school days, hoping that he would succeed in herbalism in the future.

Fortunately, out of courtesy, Ryan mailed a box of chocolates to each professor, otherwise it would definitely be embarrassing at this time.

At noon, Ryan eats roast goose (Mr. Lambert, who is of Chinese descent, thinks the turkey meat is too thick to be tasty. So Lady Sally opted for a more traditional Christmas feast consisting of roast goose) pudding and a variety of dishes. Also wondering what Christmas is like at Hogwarts?

......

Unlike the small family gatherings of the Ryan family, which emphasize warmth, Christmas in Hogwarts is very imposing, and Harry, who spent the best Christmas of his life at school, knows it all too well.

The auditorium is beautifully decorated and spectacular. The walls were covered with weeping ribbons of holly and mistletoe, and a whole dozen towering Christmas trees were erected throughout the room, some with shiny Xiaoice pillars, others with hundreds of candles.

On Christmas morning, Harry woke up to a small pile of packages at the foot of his bed. He was a little shocked because he didn't expect to receive a gift at all.

After exchanging holiday wishes with Ron, he begins to unpack the gift pack. Ron next to him let out an exclamation: "God, Portolemy's card, Ryan's luck is so good, I haven't seen him eat chocolate frogs a few times." ”

Harry also found the gift that Ryan had given him, a delicate flying broomstick pruning shears. "Yes, Ryan is always more thoughtful, and sometimes he feels like an uncle. ”

Eventually, Harry unwrapped one of the paper bags underneath, and something like a liquid, silvery-gray slid down to the floor, clumping together in a sparkling heap. Ron gasped.

Later, a surprised Ron tells Harry that it is a very precious cloak of invisibility. When Harry tried it on, he found a note inside, which was written in a handwriting he had never seen:

Your father left this thing for me before he died.

It should be returned to you now.

Use it well.

I sincerely wish you a Merry Christmas.

Later, at the beckoning of the Weasley twins, Harry wore a sweater knitted by Mrs. Weasley to a Christmas party with at least 100 roast turkeys and plenty of roast potatoes.
