Chapter 640: Prototype

In the year 999 of the magic calendar, in the eyes of later generations, this is still an incomparably slow world.

The germ of the Internet era has just emerged, and the speed of transportation, logistics, and information transmission is still limited by the physical constraints of the real world, and at the same time, it ...... It is also the last chance for the magical world to seize the dominance of the process of human civilization in Elena's eyes.

Hogwarts Round-faced Fat Chicken Express, this is nothing more than the name of the project used to hide people's ears.

According to Elena's idea, its official name should actually be called Skynet.

The owl navigation of the global positioning system, the teleportation ability of house-elves that ignore spatial barriers, and the ability to realize the non-delayed information transmission of quantum entanglement states, the intelligent screening and processing of huge disordered data, and the instantaneous upload, download and reorganization of souls and matter through magic...... Then, it will undoubtedly completely subvert the life pattern of the entire human civilized society.

And the starting point of all this is the delivery service of the "A Bite of Hogwarts" summer special issue.

With the start of this year's holiday season, the Hogwarts Kitchen has officially begun to receive orders from all over the wizarding world, but any wizarding family who subscribes to Hogwarts magazine can send a request to Hogwarts.

Of course, due to staffing constraints, the number of orders per day is limited - according to Elena's rules, wizarding families with Hogwarts students will have priority reservations, and students who have cleared the 'Dark Magic Defense' will be given further priority.

Hogwarts' house-elves ensure the quality of every dish and the accuracy and punctuality of orders.

With her knowledge of the cooking standards of the Hogwarts kitchens and the poor state of British cuisine, Elena is very sure, but any wizard who has tried Hogwarts dishes once will have a hard time resisting the temptation to wander on the tip of her tongue.

Even if the price is a little more expensive......

But Elena also comes with an invaluable service - families who order more than 50 gold Galleons can have a temporary rental of the house-elf for an hour after the food arrives.

During this hour, the Hogwarts house-elves can help the family with the tedious housekeeping, as well as some basic house repairs, vegetable garden repairs, and even some basic cooking lessons.

You know, house-elves are a magical species.

Although some wizarding families teach their children that this is nothing more than a slave created by a wizard.

But in fact, according to Grindelwald's description, and the ancient historical documents stored in Dumbledore's bookshelves, they were once a highly magical and intelligent race like the elves.

In ancient wars, the entire race of house-elves was completely subjugated by the ancient wizards, erasing their history, and each of them was born to be trained as serviles, and must be slaves who must serve their masters for generations. Not only are they proficient in all kinds of daily household magic, but they also possess powerful magical abilities that even many modern wizards can't reach.

As a result, house-elves are generally only found in some very old wizarding families.

Delicious dishes across the era, service experience cards only available in ancient families, and even one-on-one cooking lessons and express delivery services for large goods...... Elena couldn't imagine any reason for the wizards to refuse, other than expensive.

And for some families who are shy of money, Hogwarts Round-faced Fat Chicken Express also has a low-profile version of the service, hundreds of students' owls come out of trouble, abandoned in the owl shed round-faced fat chickens, ready to be on call at any time - although it may be a little cold when you arrive, and it doesn't look good, but after unpacking, you only need to heat it up a little, and it still tastes good.

In fact, from the first day of the summer, orders did fly like snowflakes to Hogwarts.

But the only problem is ......

"It's been a whole month since the start of the summer vacation – thousands of orders a day, right?"

Elena flipped through a small notebook gently, her smile still on her face, but every syllable was filled with cold anger.

"According to the report, so far, Hogwarts has been suffering losses of thousands of gold gallons every day, and I don't care about the loss of money, but ...... I hate the feeling of being fooled, do you understand?"

"But, but...... Chef, they don't pay......"

The house-elf screamed, clutching her small Hogwarts napkin-turned-garment, trembling violently.

Hogwarts delivery is a pay-as-you-go service, which means that each house-elf arrives at each wizard's home with food and waits for them to finish their meal before charging for the service and meal.

However, even the young wizards who had earned a lot of gold Galleons at the end of the semester had "voluntarily" handed over the gold coins at the persuasion of their parents when they returned home, and kept them for the time being - Professor Dumbledore's signed letter was accurately sent to each parent, and all adult wizards made the exact same decision.

Therefore, with the exception of a few wizarding families who keep their promises, the vast majority of wizards will involuntarily look for some strange excuses when faced with high fees and cowardly house-elves.

For example, if you don't have cash for the time being, you will wait until you withdraw it from the vault, and then you will be sure next time, or if you are ignorant and order a lot of unpleasant dishes, or you will directly question the unreasonable price and refuse to pay......

As house-elves, they have no way to resist or actively use magic to harm other wizards.

"Whatever the reason, losses have already been made, and there is always someone who needs to be punished. ”

The smile on Elena's face grew brighter, and she whispered coldly.

"That means ......"

"No!" the house-elf screamed, his eyes suddenly frightened, "no clothes!chef!we'll supervise, we'll find a way!no clothes!no clothes!we're not going anywhere but Hogwarts......"

"Don't panic, I'm not accusing you, I'm just a little lamented at the wonder of human nature. ”

Elena shook her head slightly, turning her head to look at Dumbledore sitting beside her.

"I think you've now understood that the risks that I said earlier about backward cash transactions and disorderly markets, that greed can never be extinguished, and that these will not change because of the scarcity and abundance of goods – if the traditional social model remains unchanged while material and intellectual progress is made, then it will only lead to greater disasters. ”

"In fact, a complete and healthy society needs to give everyone enough freedom and privacy, and it needs to have a clear and concise statistical control ability for the whole, and it has to be said that the Ministry of Magic has not done a good job in this regard. ”

"Luckily, Hogwarts now has all the pieces of the puzzle to close this hole......"

Elena paused, dragged out her voice, and whispered slowly.

"The only problem is that I'm not sure if the Headmaster of Hogwarts agrees, after all, a month ago, he opposed my proposal and suggested putting it on hold for a month and seeing the actual feedback from the wizarding community before making a decision. ”

“...... So, is this also in your plan? Seventy thousand gold Galleons, Merlin......"

Dumbledore looked at the statement of huge losses in his hand, was silent for a moment, and rubbed his brows helplessly.

"Try it, but ...... For the time being, it is confined to the Hogwarts campus. Otherwise, Connelly's side, I won't be able to cope with the past - as for the popularization of the wizarding world, when you become the Minister of Magic, let's talk about it......"

"Perhaps, it won't be that long. ”

Elena raised her eyebrows and replied meaningfully.

Before Dumbledore could figure out what Elena meant, the girl had already turned her head again, looked at the house-elves, wizards, and goblins in front of her, and cleared her throat gently.

"It seems that we need to have some rules, and some more efficient and concise ways for our customers to understand how the world works, and that's why we're coming together at this point. ”

"The world needs to change a little, a little. ”

Dumbledore's relenting mouth instantly lifted Elena's spirits, and she was finally able to land on the chessboard herself.

Ever since she entered Hogwarts and found herself having to live in the wizarding world for a long time, she has been thinking about how to change the world, which is not a noble idea, but just to make her life more comfortable.

Initially, she just wanted to make some small money, or have some ability to protect herself.

And with the advent of Grindelwald, and the perfect strategy for Gringotts Wizarding Bank, she has come up with new ideas.

Elena's gaze swept over the restless elves, determined-eyed wizards, and excited elves in front of her, and exhaled lightly, suppressing the excitement in her heart, and said slowly in a calm tone.

"From now on, Gringotts Wizarding Bank will have a separate department in addition to its normal business to be responsible for Hogwarts-related accounting matters. The entire department is headed by Kurt Maier, with the participation of Hogwarts house-elves. ”

"As for the first thing, the establishment of the Hogwarts student file and the assignment of numbered ......"

Elena drew her wand and waved it slightly, and the air gradually appeared with a starry image.

"Name is not a reliable objective criterion. We need to give each person a unique code, a logo that can be accurately identified and locked in all areas – I call it, MID, the magic identification number. ”

With Elena's voice, the images in the air gradually converge into her form, and below her image, a series of characters are slowly emerging into the air, explaining what she wants to say.

"First of all, the first string of numbers represents the school...... 99999, this is Hogwarts. ”

"Then came the Academy...... 00 is Slytherin, 01 is Hufflepuff, 02 is Gryffindor, and 03 is Ravenclaw - this is in chronological order of the four founders, and references to what each house represents. ”

"After the Academy, September 1 of each year is used as the dividing line, dividing the magical year to which each student who has reached the age of eleven belongs, in other words, their enrollment magic year. And after the Year of Magic, it's the list position at the Sorting Ceremony. This piece is uniformly reserved for three digits. ”

"Finally, two numbers will be randomly set up by the Gringotts Wizarding Bank...... to deal with certain special circumstances. ”

In the world of magic, it is possible for a person to become multiple independent individuals, for example, a remnant soul who does not know where to wander now, which is quite in line with this phenomenon, so Elena has to reserve a little space in advance.

Without further explaining the significance of the last two values, Elena smiled and looked at Fairy Douglas.

"After all the student information is entered, Gringotts can set up an exclusive virtual account for each person according to the MID to store personal property - this part of the assets will be directly settled by [Hawking], and can be withdrawn or deposited into [Hawking] at any time, which can be used for all cashless transactions......"

"The rewards or punishments that Hogwarts students receive in the school are also recorded in the form of numerical changes. I think the Hogwarts house-elves should be able to provide this data, and I'll put together a detailed list of daily, weekly, monthly, and school year tasks for you later. ”

"As for Kurt Mayr, I hope you can help Douglas convince the merchants of Diagon Alley to start using this billing model, and we can provide some small discount feedback and financial support for wizards and merchants who use this billing model. And for those who are naysay, let's see if we can buy their store?

"Of course, if their resistance is still quite strong, then buy a shop next door to them and fill the gap in the market - as for the materials and money for this, the light industry of the former Soviet Union and Gringotts will have your back. ”

Elena waved her hand, dispersing the images in the air, and asked softly in a pleasant tone.

"I'm done, now you can ask questions......"
