377. The Book of Prometheus

It's a rare sight.

The Hogwarts pranksters Fred and George, in the midst of Scott's ridicule, failed to launch any effective counterattack, so they could only choose to flee.

By the time the two left, Scott and his roommates were still unsatisfied.

"This joke ......," Eddie laughed a little breathlessly, "I could laugh all year." ”

Roger retorted, "No, I can laugh until graduation." ”

Even Milton had a distinct smile on his face all the time.

"Oh......" Scott sighed, "we can call them later, innocent Weasley brothers." ”

Another burst of suppressed laughter rang out.

They resisted the urge to laugh and quickly returned to the dormitory, where they set up a spell to block out sounds, and laughed completely.

"It's a shame." Eddie lay on the bed rubbing his sore belly with a smile, "If only I could capture the scene with a panoramic telescope in time......"

Scott went on to say it, "I think a lot of my classmates who have been pranked by them will be willing to buy one!" ”

"It's so hard to see those two guys eating like this." "I've found their weaknesses!" ”

After laughing for a while, Roger reminded, "It's late, it's time for us to go to bed, we have class tomorrow." ”

"But!" Eddie suddenly screamed.

He got up from the bed and rushed to Scott, who was sitting on the couch in front of the window.

"I can't wait to take a closer look at that, oh, it's [The Book of Prometheus]!"

"I'm sorry, but I can't sleep either." Milton also said, "Maybe it's because I'm so excited, I feel like I've got a new inspiration...... Oh......"

As he spoke, he covered his mouth and began to shed tears.

"Oh no!" "Although I haven't experienced this feeling of inspiration for a long time, I am indeed a little excited, but I really don't want to cry!" ”

"It's okay, just cry if you want to." The other three said in unison.

So Milton began to weep as he sketched the staves.

Scott took out the golden card in Eddie's expectant eyes and injected his magic power to turn it into the [Book of Prometheus]. ”

The cover of the book is still made of gold metal, and the relief of Prometheus is still there.

Compared with the same relief on the small card, the relief on the cover of the book has several more circles of ornate patterns.

Scott flipped open the cover, and there was a small line written on the first page of the book -

"Explore the origins of wizards, possibly, self-destruction."

Eddie, who was watching next to him, read the words.

Scott was stunned and shook his head again.

This was also said to him by the Ravenclaw instructor in a cautionary tone when he gave him his first lesson.

What does that mean exactly......

Scott pondered, and inadvertently reached out and touched the material of the inside page.

He discovered that the inside of the book was not made of parchment, nor was it any other known material.

He flipped the page again and found that it was a personal file that belonged to him.

At this point, only his name and card number were shown on the profile, and the rest of the space was empty.

Soon, a small line appeared in the blank space at the top of the page-

[Hello, Dear Scott?] Trollope, welcome to the Scholars Alliance. Please complete your personal information as soon as possible.

Note: You can write directly on the pages of the book in any form, and the book will automatically include what you have written. ]

Scott raised an eyebrow, pulled his pen out of his pocket and began to write on the page.

It didn't take long for him to fill out this personal file containing his basic information.

The moment he put the pen away, his handwriting gradually disappeared, and then the content resurfaced, directly into print.

[Congratulations, your profile has been added to Knowledge Bank.] ]

In the margins above the page, a line of small print appears again.

Scott looked at it, turning the page again.

At the top of this page are a few large lines of words—

[Submit]

[Redeem]

[Your Credits: 0]

[Submitted by: 0]

[You have redeemed: 0]

Scott tapped his finger [submit].

The content under the [Submit] option immediately disappears, and a small print prompt appears.

[Please write the knowledge you want to submit directly on the page.] ]

In addition to this, an option to [Cancel] appears in the lower corner of the page.

This sense of déjà vu!

Scott raised an eyebrow.

At this moment, he always has a sense of déjà vu playing with a tablet in his previous life.

But now it seems that [The Book of Prometheus] can also be called a magical version of a tablet.

Although it doesn't have as many features as tablets, it also has features that tablets don't.

For example, borrowing the power of the [Knowledge Bank] directly through it allowed Milton to reclaim his musical talent!

Thinking of this, Scott couldn't wait to order [Cancel] to return to the previous menu, and couldn't wait to order [Redeem].

The menu for redemption is divided into three options.

[Knowledge]

[Item]

[Mutual Aid]

[Knowledge] and [Items] As the name suggests, Scott opened [Mutual Aid] and found that this option was equivalent to a mutual trading platform between the members of the Scholars Alliance.

Scott currantly flipped through the tasks posted by the other members.

Summoning research partners, acquiring materials, looking for thugs, and needing teachers......

There are all kinds of things.

It seems that as long as you can come up with the corresponding credits, you can put a bounty on any task here.

"Oh!"

"Cool!"

Eddie and Roger, who were watching next to Scott, couldn't help but sigh.

"Let's see, if you have any knowledge of the magic Internet!" Eddie urges Scott.

Scott nodded, re-selecting the [Knowledge] option.

[Enchantment], [Transfiguration], [Dark Magic], [Potion], [Alchemy], [Ancient Magic]......

The drop-down menu for [Knowledge] is also categorized like the Hogwarts curriculum.

"This ......," Eddie asked hesitantly, "what is the magic internet?" Alchemy? ”

Scott did what he said [alchemy].

The pages are blank again, and small print appears on top of it.

[Please write down the key information on the pages of the book that you need knowledge.] ]

"Oh, and you can search for keywords!" Eddie said excitedly.

Scott picked up the pen again and wrote [Knowledge Bank].

His handwriting flickered, and soon vanished, and new handwriting appeared on the page.

"There it is!" Eddie and Roger shouted at the same time.

[Book: Record of Building Knowledge Bank Core (Alchemy Part)]

Author: Nicol? Lemay

1 credit for redemption]

Scott's eyes widened.

Eddie and Roger roared at the same time.

"It's only 1 credit!"

"That's too cheap, isn't it?"

"There must be a bug!"

"Change!"

Scott reached out and tapped [Confirm Redemption] below with trembling fingers.

[You don't have enough credits!] ]

The prompt that popped up suddenly reminded him that his credit was still 0, and he didn't even have 1 credit.

"Earn credits!"

"Quick!"

Eddie and Roger yelled and urged.

But at this time, Scott had completely calmed down.

"There's no hurry." He said.

"Why not rush!"

"Hurry up! If you miss it, you won't miss it! ”

Eddie and Roger reached out at the same time to grab him by the neck and shake it.

"Stop!" Scott exclaimed, "You don't want to think about it, this can't be a bug!" ”

Eddie and Roger also calmed down when they heard this.

They weren't stupid, and it didn't take long for them to understand what Scott was trying to say.

"You mean, this material is worth 1 credit is the normal price?" Eddie asked incredulously.

Scott nodded.

"Why?" Roger said, "How can this knowledge be sold so cheaply? ”

"Because it's hard." Scott replied to his question, "Just like the Elixir in Potion, its recipe is known to almost everyone, but only those Potions Masters can make a good bottle of Elixir, which is one of the reasons why Elixir is extremely expensive. ”

"I see, you're right." Roger immediately agreed with him, "It seems that even if you spend 1 credit to buy this powder material, the biggest possibility is that we can't read it at all." ”

Eddie was also dejected, "It's very likely, because none of us have studied alchemy, and even Scott only knows a little basics." ”

Scott shrugged his shoulders.

"Let's take a look at the normal price of knowledge."

He clicked a few times on the page, selected the option of [Transfiguration], and wrote the keyword [Animagus].

A new menu appeared, and Eddie and Roger immediately began to chatter.

"Overview of Animagus magic, 500 credits required."

"Detailed steps, teach you Animagus step by step, you need 1000 credits."

"The practical skills of the high-pole human transfiguration technique greatly enhance the success rate of the Animagus, and it takes 3000 credits! It's so expensive! ”

"Druid magic, a reference to multimorphic animal transformation magic, requires 5000 credits! It's more expensive! ”

"Alright, alright."

Scott spoke up to stop the two men's exclamations.

He began to turn the pages.

There is so much knowledge under the entry [Animagus] that it is impossible to write a single page, which is dizzying.

The number of credits required to expound the knowledge of the Animagus from all angles is also enormous, ranging from tens of credits to thousands of points.

At this point, Scott understood what Dumbledore and Professors Flitwick were saying to him.

The knowledge contained in a single [Animagus] was enough to arouse his desire to buy.

He hasn't looked at the other second-level options of the [Knowledge] class yet, and he hasn't looked at the first-level options of the [Item] class!

It's really easy to trigger greed in your heart, and it's also extremely easy to let your life be hijacked by credit anxiety.

"Let's do it first." Scott didn't want to watch it for the time being, "Anyway, I can't afford to see the knowledge that I like, so I can only look at it sadly." ”

With that, he closed the book of [Prometheus] as quickly as he could, turning it into a card.

"Makes sense."

Roger yawned as he walked to his bed.

"Not being able to afford is the biggest obstacle to progress." Eddie sighed and stretched wide.

"Oh! I'm done! ”

At this moment, Milton's happy voice rang out.

"My new song, called 'Prometheus' Newborn Liver!"
