Compared with the ordinary first-generation Pandora and the second-generation Pandora under development, it not only expands the number of players, but also adds a special feature, Game Manager.

As a game administrator, Rick can force every player to log in, and this feature was thought of by Rick with reference to an anime called Sword Art Online in his previous life.

With it, Rick doesn't have to worry that during the practical class (playing the game), the little wizards will quit the game out of timidity.

Rick understands that he came to Hogwarts as a Defence Against the Dark Arts professor to teach young wizards how to protect themselves from dark creatures or evil wizards.

He had never been a teacher in his life, but with memories of his past life and the lessons learned from his years working in the Department of Magical Law, he believed that he could only grow by experiencing it himself.

But you can't really throw these little wizards who can't hold wands into the Forbidden Forest and experience the adventure of nine deaths, right?!

So after agreeing to Dumbledore, Rick came up with the idea of using his console, Pandora, to teach lessons to the young wizards.

Hogwarts Escape isn't really a fully immersive RPG, it's a half-finished game. Because Rick only finished the first two levels of this game.

And the combat system inside, Rick directly borrowed from the Torchlight.

A combat system with Hogwarts characteristics has not been developed at all.

This can't blame Rick for being lazy, and before school starts, he suddenly receives an order from the Magical Congress to secretly travel to Australia to complete an important mission.

That's why the production of the Hogwarts Escape tutorial game was delayed.

However, in terms of the current level completion of the game, Rick is enough to evaluate the combat awareness, mental endurance, teamwork, etc., and the level of each ability.

In the first level of the Cavern, the game map is only the size of four Quidditch pitches, and the maze in it has a fixed route, and the mobs are the kind of magical creatures that do not endanger life.

For example, the slug, who is regarded by Ron as a lifelong enemy, the mandrake who likes to cry, the Cornwall elf who likes to socialize, the ghoul who has severe social phobia, and so on......

Barely threatening them are the Werewolves and Glicken stationed at the entrance to the second level (a basilisk with a human face, the same threat level as the Werewolf in Fantastic Beasts, and a far cry from the Slytherin pet basilisk). ）。

The second level is a swamp forest, and the map is four times larger than the cave cave, and the complexity increases dramatically.

In addition to the non-life-threatening magical creatures and some large beasts, as well as the mountain monster and the three-headed dog that Harry had seen in their first year, Rick also had a borggart in it, which was not for the junior students, of course.

As for the third and subsequent levels, Rick is currently working on them, but before the game is complete, he will need to make a trip to the Forbidden Forest and the Chamber of Secrets to make a copy of Hagrid's cute eight-eyed spider and basilisk's body data.

After all, this is a teaching game, and all the monsters in it must exist in reality, and their strength must be the same as in reality.

It's impossible for Rick to add creatures to the game levels that don't exist in the wizarding world, and that would make the point of teaching untold.

But it's also unrealistic to be a dark creature all along, so in the later levels, Rick needs to add the evil wizards from the past.

Hogwarts Escape: Secrets of Grindelwald DLC?

Hogwarts Escape: Lord Voldemort and His Death Eaters DLC?

......

Although the game is not yet complete, it is more than enough to test the mental quality of the little wizards.

Rick's hands regularly touched a few small squares on Pandora's surface, and then a magic projection appeared in front of Rick, showing all the Hogwarts second-year students he had pulled into the game.

At the top of the projection is a light curtain that records all students' statuses, SAN values, and information about dodging or killing dark creatures in the game, so that Rick can observe each student.

Students who are injured and unable to move or die outright, as well as those whose SAN values have dropped to a critical point, will be forced out of the game by Rick.

.......

"I seem to have forgotten something, but it's not a big problem, so let's take it as a hidden assessment."

Rick suddenly discovers that he forgot to tell them about the game operation meet and the starter pack.

Instead of wanting to make up for his mistakes, he found a reason for himself that Alice wanted to hit him when she heard it.

"However, the little ones in Slytherin should be able to spot the Starter Pack, and judging by their performances, they still know a lot about how Pandora plays."

Rick muttered a thought, and then his fingers began to wobble across the light curtain, finding a name named Blaise Shabini and tapping lightly.

In an instant, the image in the projection in front of Rick's eyes was magnified, one of the four Slytherin students who had run in front of Rick earlier.

Seeing that he had successfully called out the game panel, Rick nodded slightly and breathed a sigh of relief.

At this point, the students in the game have not dispersed from the spawn point, and it is impossible for him not to tell the other friends after calling out his game board in front of all his classmates.

Rick didn't want to believe that Breth Shabini, who was only in his second year, had enough will and strength to resist the "special love" of all the students in the room.

Knock knock!

Just as Rick inquired about the status of each young wizard, there was a knock on the door of the Defence Against the Dark Arts professor.

"Please come in!"

"Dear Headmaster Dumbledore, who are you?"

Seeing Dumbledore in a light-pigmented robe standing in the doorway, Rick couldn't help but be a little surprised, wondering if this old guy was afraid that he had spoiled his precious student?

Both are masters of the Receptive Mind, and both have a complete set of sealing techniques in their brains. That's why Rick can slander so unscrupulously.

"Hehe, Graves, I'm just passing through."

Dumbledore, who walked into the classroom, looked at the group of unconscious students lying on their desks, his body paused for a second, but quickly returned to normal, and his eyes under his white eyebrows showed a strange look.

If it weren't for Rick letting him experience Pandora's game world with the other professors before school started.

He may have given Rick a weapon and a real-life agent combo by now, asking if he was an undercover agent sent by Voldemort.

"So, Headmaster Dumbledore, if you're interested, join me to watch the students behave in the game world."

Simply passing through? Rick wouldn't believe that kind of.

Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry has a lot of curriculum for young wizards, but it never forces them to master it.

It's more about letting them explore freely, learn with interest, and grow happily.

Otherwise, it would not have been possible to make Gilderoy Lockhart a Defense Against the Dark Arts professor for a year.

It was not that Headmaster Dumbledore in the original world did not know that Lockhart was a liar, but why did he still look for him?

There is indeed a large reason for this, and there are very few people willing to take on the position of Professor of Defence Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

However, Rick believes that Dumbledore only needs a Defence Against the Dark Arts professor, not a teacher who can teach his students seriously.

Otherwise, he would not have been able to replace Gilderoy Lockhart as a professor of Defence Against the Dark Arts.

"Hehe, I'm a little ashamed to say that I'm already a centenarian and I'm very interested in your Pandora console and this Hogwarts Escape. Since you don't mind, I'll stay and enjoy the children's performance. ”
