Chapter 250: See the Gambling Contract Again
With Christmas approaching, the holidays at Hogwarts are finally coming in, and it's exciting news for all the students, who can't wait to go home for the holidays.
On the day of the holidays, the Hogwarts Express train was quickly packed with students, and Albert, Fred George, and Lee Jordan managed to occupy an empty car.
As it approached eleven o'clock, the train finally moved forward slowly.
Albert lay his chin on his hand and looked out the window at the rapidly receding landscape, next to him, the Weasley twins had just finished a round of wizarding cards, and George, who had lost the card, was forced to taste a red pepper-flavored Bibi bean.
"We now have 67 club members. Lee Jordan pulled out his notebook from his pocket and reported to Albert about the Wizarding Card Club in the first half of the semester, "At the moment, there are still 39 students who don't have their own Wizard deck. ”
"Wow, I didn't even know that there were already so many people in our club. Fred couldn't help but exclaim.
"I feel like I'm going to be the biggest club at Hogwarts. George said as he tried to secretly throw away the red Bibi Bean.
Fred glared back at George and warned, "Don't try to throw it away, I'll stare at you and eat it." ”
"We're already the biggest club at Hogwarts, but ......," Lee Jordan said helplessly, "there are still a lot of problems with the club." ”
"What's the problem?" said George, trying to distract Fred.
"Our Wizard cards are so monotonous, and I mean our Wizard cards, you know, a lot of people aren't happy with such crude cards. Lee Jordan took out a homemade card and gave the three of them an example, "Compared to crackling and exploding cards, our cards are more boring, and more often than not, players need a little patience and the ability to build cards. ”
"You're too anxious. Albert understood what Lee Jordan meant, and reminded: "If you want to make the wizard card a popular card game in the wizarding world, you need to be patient enough to promote all the interesting things in one go, it is easy to make everyone tired, complex and numerous cards, it takes players more time to get used to, and all this needs to be accumulated slowly over time." ”
Lee Jordan pursed his lips, it was really hard to understand why Albert didn't make a big effort to promote the Wizarding card, in his opinion, this year is the best opportunity for the vast majority of Hogwarts students to know and join the Wizarding Card Club.
"Don't worry, listen to Albert, his reasons are always more convincing than your advice. George pushed Bibi Beans in front of Lee Jordan, and pinched one himself and threw it into his mouth, as for the red one, he had already mixed it into the box of Beans.
"Albert was too busy to pay much attention to the Wizard cards. Lee Jordan thinks that if Albert is willing to focus more on the Witcher cards, the cards will definitely be improved more quickly.
"No, no, man, this is our wizard card, you can't blame Albert for everything. Fred picked up the red pepper-flavored multi-flavored bean from the box and placed it in front of George, who knew he couldn't hide it, so he gritted his teeth, threw it in his mouth, and swallowed it directly.
"Man, you're in too much of a hurry. George grimaced at Fred, "You know, it's not Albert the problem. ”
This is also something that makes them feel helpless, and the three of them can't keep up with Albert's footsteps, so most of the work can only be done by Albert.
"You have to understand that a game has to stand the test of time before it can be truly accepted. Albert wasn't angry, he knew that Fred, George and Lee Jordan hadn't thought about it.
"And even if we complete the wizard cards, what will we be able to do? Do you think a few underage wizards will be able to keep this fortune?" Albert reminded them again, "Once the wizard cards are completely spread in the wizarding world, people will start copying and pirating these cards, like big dung eggs, and you can't stop the merchants who know how to make big eggs from molding them." ”
The three of them were also stunned, and they didn't think that there was such a problem.
"We need to label the Wizard cards so that each Wizard card has its own label like Galleon, and it can't be copied by anyone else.
I want people to see at a glance the difference between an imposter and the genuine, but to do that requires a lot of mantras to be supported.
So, the most important thing for us now is to expand the crowd and get people to gradually accept the Wizard cards, so that they think that the Wizard cards are more than just Wizard cards, and it's not okay to be too anxious, you understand?"
Lee Jordan looked confused, and he didn't know if he understood, he didn't think about as many things as Albert, and most children didn't have much patience.
"Man, you're certainly not as good a fool as Albert, so there's nothing wrong with listening to him in this regard. Fred raised his hand and patted the other party's shoulder, and stuffed a gray Bibi multi-flavored bean to Lee Jordan and continued: "You should also realize that Albert is smarter and better at this than us, and since messing around with it will only make things worse, why not listen to Albert's thoughts first?"
"Don't be depressed, when you can take the first place in this year, we will ......" Before George's words could be finished, he was interrupted by Lee Jordan.
"Well, I know I'm not as nimble as Albert. Lee Jordan shoved the Bean Bean into Fred's hand, turned his head to look at Albert, who was still in a daze outside the window, and changed the subject and asked, "Did your Patronus Charm succeed?"
"Patronus Spell?" Albert glanced back at Lee Jordan, continued to look out the window in a daze, quickly opened the skill panel, and glanced at the Patronus Spell skill on the panel, which has just passed the first level, and it is estimated that there is no way to summon a physical Patronus.
He thought about it, and still raised the level of the Patronus to level 2, anyway, he still needs to try to get the Patronus to open his mouth to deliver the message.
"Why do you care so much about this?" Albert asked, frowning.
"We're betting that if your patronus loses, we'll eat a few flavored beans.
As he spoke, Fred got a small box out of nowhere, which contained a number of oddly colored multi-flavored beans, which made people lose their appetite at a glance.
"Earthy, earwax, red pepper, vomit, toilet paper, boogers, ......" Lee Jordan excitedly introduced Albert to the bizarre tasting Bibi Beans.
"Stop, you guys lost your bet and ate these horrible things. Albert hurriedly stopped Lee Jordan, looking at the other party's eyes became strange, I didn't expect that there was a ruthless person living in the dormitory, who could recognize so many Bibi Duowei beans?
"How do you bet?"
"Fred and George think that your Patronus is likely to have something to do with eagles, and if there are eagles, I'll need to eat half of the beans here, if not, three of them each, and can't spit them out. Lee Jordan explained.
After listening to the bet agreement between the three, Albert couldn't help but twitch.
