As a time-traveling reborn, what's the difference between not making trouble and salting fish?

Zhao Lao once said to Zhang Xu that if he had a chance at Hogwarts, he could quietly get something good back.

Zhang Xu thought about it for a long time, and felt that before the basilisk was killed next year, it would be good to get some parts from it.

After confirming the existence of the Hogwarts Chamber of Secrets from Professor Binns, Zhang Xu found information about the basilisk in the library, and went to the girls' bathroom to confirm the location of the non-watering faucet marked with a snake in the name of chatting with the golden peach lady.

Zhang Xu then submitted a report to Zhao Lao on the acquisition of basilisk parts.

The report provides a detailed account of the history and current situation of the basilisk, lists the value of the eyes, venom and skin of the basilisk, and explains how to deal with the basilisk and possible emergencies.

Zhao Lao quickly replied to Zhang Xu, agreeing that Zhang Xu should act under the condition of ensuring his safety, and if necessary, he could ask Dumbledore for help while giving up some of the benefits.

Along with Zhao Lao's reply letter, there was also a plan, which had a strong military style, formulating a course of action in various situations, devouting many ways to deal with the basilisk, and suggestions on how to escape that took up three-quarters of the content.

The plan predicts that the best result is that Zhang Xu quietly gets what he wants, and the result of the passing line is that Dumbledore makes a move, and in the end he gets up to half of what he wants, and the worst result is that Hogwarts is completely destroyed.

Finally, there were some useful props and weapons that were brought into Hogwarts along with the books the students had purchased.

After Zhang Xu spent a few days to prepare, he chose a day without classes in the afternoon, and started to act after lunch.

Zhang Xu, who returned to the bedroom after a full meal, took all the equipment, activated the invisible magic on the robe, and then walked out of the common room.

Avoiding the students on the road along the way, Zhang Xu came to the door of the girls' bathroom on the first floor.

Standing in front of the door of the girls' bathroom, Zhang Xu suddenly thought of a certain chef with curled eyebrows on a certain pirate ship, and this chef had a great dream to sneak into the women's bathroom after eating the invisibility fruit.

Well, now Zhang Xu is about to realize this great dream, although there are no women in it, only female ghosts.

As for sneaking into the women's bathroom after stealth, Zhang Xu didn't think about it at all, and Zhang Xu didn't have the slightest interest in this wizarding world without knee-length stockings.

Zhang Xu took out a requiem talisman, entered the magic power, and slapped it on the door of the bathroom.

In addition to calming people, requiems also have the effect of putting ghosts to sleep.

After entering the door, Zhang Xu saw that Jin Taoniang was already lying.

After finding the faucet marked with a snake, Zhang Xu took out a thumb-sized crystal with a "open" label, and touched it on the crystal with his magic wand, and a "hiss" came out of the crystal...... ...... hiss" sound.

Zhang Xu couldn't figure out where the country got the recording of the Parseltongue, and now there are more than 30 recording crystals of the Parseltongue in the treasure bag, which is enough for Zhang Xu to deal with most of the situations.

Soon, the entrance to the chamber opened.

After the entrance was opened, Zhang Xu took off the robe that was inconvenient for movement and put it into the treasure bag, and then put the treasure bag into the pocket of the combat uniform prepared in advance under the robe.

Now Zhang Xu's painting style has changed, and he is no longer dressed as a medieval wizard, but dressed in a combat uniform and a tactical vest.

After Zhang Xu cast a few protective spells on himself, he entered the passage, and then cast the spell on the wall of the passage, and slid down after touching another recording crystal to close the passage mouth.

As he slid down the dark, slimy, endless, twisting, winding pipe, Zhang Xu wondered if he was going to do something and pit Voldemort next year. But thinking that it would be difficult to accidentally cripple or even kill Ginny, I gave up the idea.

Soon, Zhang Xu was at the end.

After turning one bend after another in the tunnel, Zhang Xu finally came to the front of a wall carved with two intertwined snakes and big, shiny emeralds in their eyes.

Traps were first laid outside the stone wall, and magic traps with spells such as the Earth Wall Spell, the Ice Spell, and the Fire Spell were placed in the tunnel, and as long as Zhang Xu activated them through magic or the basilisk touched them, they would be activated.

Looking at the traps in the tunnel, Zhang Xu felt as if he had returned to the days of sitting in front of the computer and playing games in his previous life.

After arranging the retreat, Zhang Xu took out a huge glass bottle, which was filled with fingertip-sized paper cranes of various colors, and the whole bottle looked like the wishing bottles often made by girls.

However, this large bottle of paper cranes is the main force to deal with the basilisk today.

still used the recording crystal to open the stone wall, and then Zhang Xu closed his eyes and listened carefully to whether there was any movement in the secret room behind the stone wall with his magic ear.

After listening for a while, he found that there was no movement in the secret room, so Zhang Xu threw the whole bottle of paper cranes into it, and then took out a fist-sized recording crystal and threw it in after activating it with a magic wand, and finally locked the stone wall again.

After the stone wall was closed, Zhang Xu took out a few pieces of rune paper and pasted them on it, so that the stone wall was closed more strictly.

After preparing all this, Zhang Xu stayed away from the stone wall, stood on the edge of a corner opposite the stone wall and got ready, and if the situation was wrong, he would run away immediately.

With the combination of the magic side and the technology side, the magic world in China began to develop magic weapons.

It is no longer an auxiliary use of magic such as using the space expansion spell to expand the fighter tank's fuel tank so that Cai Guoqing can fly to the Nansha Islands in the air, and the floating spell to allow 59 to go up the mountain and cross the sea, but to develop magic weapons that can be used by alchemists and even ordinary soldiers.

For example, the magic trap on the ground now, playing the monkey army to death on the battlefield in southern Xinjiang, and the big bottle of paper cranes, can make the monkey army in the tunnel worse than death.

According to the pre-set setting, after the bottle of paper cranes is broken in the secret room, the paper cranes in the bottle will automatically activate and fly around.

After a minute, the recording crystal will make a sound that summons a basilisk in a parseltongue.

After about five minutes, a loud commotion began to come from the secret room behind the stone wall.

First there was the sound of a rooster crowing, then a loud noise.

In the paper crane thrown into the secret room, there is a paper crane that records the sound of a rooster crowing, and this paper crane dodges in the sky while launching a sonic attack on the basilisk.

The sound of "boom" coming from the secret room was that a thousand paper cranes with explosive magic had exploded on the basilisk.

The sound of "knock knock" is supposed to be a thousand paper cranes with earth-based magic casting obstacles to the basilisk.

The sound of "bang-la-la" is the "refrigerator" that the basilisk broke free from the "refrigerator" burst out by a thousand paper cranes that had exerted ice magic.

After more than ten minutes, the secret room began to fall silent.

After a few minutes, the chamber fell silent.

Zhang Xu cautiously opened the stone wall of the secret room again, then closed his eyes and listened attentively, and found that there was no sound inside.

Zhang Xu closed his eyes and took out a magic Polaroid camera, took a random shot in the direction of the secret room, and then touched the photo, carefully touched the wall and walked through a few bends in the tunnel, and then used his wand to emit a little light, and saw that the camera was not broken, and the photos were all black, and finally made sure that there was no basilisk with open eyes waiting for him on the side of the secret room, so he was relieved.

Zhang Xu checked the invisibility spell and silence spell that had been activated on the combat suit on his body, and added a spell to isolate odors and a cold wind spell used to be used as an air conditioner to prevent basilisk from detecting prey through smell and infrared light like snakes. Then he took out a night vision goggles and put them on his head.

Standing at the door of the secret room, Zhang Xu cast more than a dozen pseudo-fire spells into the secret room at once, and the place where the spell hit ignited a cloud of white flames, illuminating the entire secret room as if it were day.

As a wizard must learn illumination, Zhang Xu put a lot of effort into illumination, and the pseudo-fire spell was originally developed as a spell for lighting, but the twin brothers liked to use it for pranks.

Under the white firelight, Zhang Xu saw that the huge basilisk was now lying motionless on the ground with his eyes closed, not knowing whether he was dead or alive.

Zhang Xu took out two large plastic buckets, which contained a kind of glue jointly developed by the magic side and the science side that claimed to be able to replenish the space shuttle.

Zhang Xu controlled the glue to fly to the head of the basilisk, pasting the basilisk's mouth and eyes.

After waiting for the glue to solidify for five minutes, Zhang Xu dared to approach the basilisk.

When he came to the basilisk, Zhang Xu found that the basilisk was still breathing in his nostrils, and the basilisk was just unconscious.

Zhang Xu thought about it and decided not to kill the basilisk this time, maybe after taking some parts this time, it will grow again next year, and it can be harvested again.

So Zhang Xu took out a lot of tools sent by China specifically for this operation, first slapped the basilisk on the head with a stun charm, and then used a few runes to restrict the basilisk's movements, and then began to use special tools to disassemble parts.

First, he used a special syringe the size of Zhang Xu's calf to pierce the basilisk's venom sac, extracted all the basilisk's venom, and put it in a special bottle to seal the title.

Then, two larger syringes were used to draw the basilisk's bile and blood, respectively.

When I was about to peel some snake skin, I found that the skin of the basilisk was hard beyond expectations, and the tools prepared in advance were not easy to use, so I had to give up due to time constraints.

Finally and most importantly, dig one eye out of the basilisk.

Zhang Xu took out a piece of white jade the size of a football, and there was a trace of cold air in the white jade.

Zhang Xu put the white jade on the left eye of the basilisk, tapped the white jade with his wand, and guided the cold qi in the white jade to freeze all the muscle tissue outside the basilisk's eyeball, and then used magic to pull out the large piece of muscle that wrapped the basilisk's eyeball along with the eyeball.

Removing all the parts on the basilisk and installing them, Zhang Xu was also too tired. In particular, the eyeballs of the basilisk were pulled out, and Zhang Xu's magic power was almost exhausted.

After resting for a while, Zhang Xu found that the breath in and out of the basilisk's nostrils was a little less than before.

In order to save the basilisk's life and wait for next year's harvest, Zhang Xu took out the recovery potion he had originally prepared for himself, and poured most of the catty into the basilisk's hollow eye sockets, which can be used both internally and externally.

The cold air remaining in the basilisk's eye sockets froze all the recovery potions.

Zhang Xu calculated that the remaining cold in the basilisk's eye sockets could still be retained for a day, and the thawed recovery potion would save the basilisk's life after a day. And now that the magic of controlling the basilisk can last for two or three days, it should be no problem.

After recovering some physical strength and magic power, Zhang Xu left the secret room, closed the stone wall, and slapped a few basilisks on the stone wall that could last for almost a year to prevent the injured basilisk from escaping, and then left.

If a wizard knows about Zhang Xu's dismantling of the basilisk parts this time, he will definitely be shocked and shattered.

The reason is not how powerful Zhang Xu's magic is, although Zhang Xu has not fully shown his full level, but he himself knows that his current strength is limited compared to the third-grade students, if he is angry with the psychology of the same end, he can win the sixth and seventh grade students.

What made the wizards look at it was the magic items used by Zhang Xu, a junior student, relying on magic weapons in a special environment, was able to beat the basilisk down under the watchful eyes of the whole time, which has subverted the common sense that the more powerful the magic item in the Western magic world, the more magic power is needed.

If such magical weapons were to spread in Europe, they would have had as much influence as muskets and artillery against knights and castles. No matter how much the pure-blood nobles inherit and how strong they are, they will eventually be overwhelmed by ordinary wizards who use easy-to-use and powerful magic weapons.

Zhang Xu has no intention of using such weapons at Hogwarts, and the only ones are used as life-saving cards, and those commonly used are those low-power rune papers.

Moreover, the books that Zhang Xu brought and resold were all strictly screened, and the content about magic weapons was either not mentioned at all, or seriously weakened to a point stronger than toys.

After Zhang Xu left Jin Taoniang's girls' bathroom, the first thing he did was to go to the owl room to send away today's harvest, so as not to have too many dreams at night.

Leaving the owl room, Zhang Xu returned to the dormitory to change out of the combat uniform inside the robe, and then cleaned himself up to get rid of the smell that might have been left on his body, and then planned to go to the reading room to drink some tea and eat some snacks.

Although Zhang Xu didn't exert much strength just now, except for almost running out of magic power at the end, his spirit was highly nervous during the whole process, not only the pressure brought by the basilisk, but also the fear of Dumbledore's sudden appearance, and even more afraid that Professor Quirrell would suddenly come.

According to the plan, if the basilisk harmed Zhang Xucheng, or Professor Quirrell appeared with the back of his head, Zhang Xu would not hesitate to summon Dumbledore.

Now that the loot has been sent, even if Dumbledore finds it, it can't change anything, so now Zhang Xu began to feel mentally exhausted after he relaxed.

Zhang Xu hasn't been underground for a long time, and now it's only the time for the first class in the afternoon.

On the way to the reading room, Zhang Xu saw Hermione walking towards him with her head down.

"Hey, Hermione, what's going on?" Zhang Xu greeted Hermione.

Hermione didn't answer, just raised her head and nodded at Zhang Xu, and then continued to walk forward.

Zhang Xu saw that Hermione's eyes were red, as if she was crying, so he followed Hermione and asked, "Hermione, why are you crying?" Did something happen? ”

Hermione lowered her head and was silent at first, but just as Zhang Xu was thinking about whether to continue asking, Hermione suddenly raised her head and shouted a little hysterically.

"I don't know what I'm doing wrong?" Hermione growled.

"Am I actually wrong for them not to break the school rules?

"Do I want me to encourage them to break the school rules?

"Am I doing him a disservice by correcting the wrong pronunciation of his incantation?

"I recited the spell correctly, and I did my magic, am I doing it wrong?

"I didn't do anything wrong, but why did he target me like that? Is it because I'm black? Is there racism in the wizarding world? ”

Zhang Xu touched his nose, and after hearing what Hermione was complaining about, he didn't know what to say for a while.

Blame Ron? Although Ron is a bear child, Hermione's arrogant way of speaking is really wrong, which hurts the bear child's self-esteem, no wonder Ron would target Hermione. Zhang Xu is a mature person, and in his eyes, Hermione is also a bear child, but the direction of the bear is different, so he doesn't care about the bear child.

To tell Hermione that there is no such thing as racism in the wizarding world, doesn't Ron discriminate against her because she's black? But there is more serious discrimination in the Western wizarding world, and in the future, little Malfoy will call her "mudblood" in front of Hermione, which leads to a group fight.

"I'm sorry." Before Zhang Xu could think about what to say, Hermione said to her, "I'm just in a bad mood, let me be quiet." ”

With that, Hermione quickened her pace and left.

Seeing Hermione turn and walk into the girls' bathroom, Zhang Xu had no choice but to turn around and go to the reading room.

On the way to the reading room, Zhang Xu realized that he seemed to have forgotten something.
