Chapter 45: Newspapers, Dirty Water, Reversing Black and White
As the night deepened, the light of the moon fell vertically, adding a chill to the frost-covered earth of winter.
After submitting the Daily Faction Quest, Rossi finally reached level 30 with 900 XP points.
After allocating the attribute points and skill points obtained after the upgrade, Rossi hired a carriage pulled by Thestrals and rushed towards the village of Otri Santa Cachpol with Erin and Aber.
Although Ah Bai shared the map he had developed on Floo Net with the two of them, helping them dispel nearly ninety percent of the fog on the map, since Rossi and the others had never actually arrived there, they couldn't use Floo Powder to teleport directly through the fireplace.
Unlike the two-wheeled open-top carriage in which Hagrid had picked her up, Rossi had hired a four-wheeled carriage with a spacious wooden carriage for 1 Galleon and 55 silices.
It is covered with a thick layer of cashmere blanket, which seems to have been specially treated, and there is a faint fruity aroma on it.
The invisible Thestrals ran faster and faster, and in the blink of an eye, they pulled the carriage into the sky.
Rosie took out a whole bar of rye bread from his inventory, divided it into two portions and handed it to the two: "Eat some bread to replenish your hunger, and I'll treat you to dinner later." ”
Erin took the bread and sniffed it, and said with a smile, "Then you have to take us to Wilton's restaurant." ”
Wilton's restaurant claims to be the most expensive restaurant in Brantania, and some players in the forum broke the news that the lowest price of meals there is around ten galleons per unit.
"No problem."
Rosie smiled and agreed, "I also want to go and see what the food there is different from what we usually eat." ”
"That's a big difference."
Ah Bai swallowed the bread stuffed in his mouth and interjected, "Dry bread and food are only used to satisfy hunger, if you talk about taste, those dishes are ......." ”
Before he could say the words "delicious," he saw an owl clutching a rolled newspaper and falling onto the wheel of the carriage, cooing at Ah Bai.
Ah Bai hurriedly pulled the window open and let the owl bring the newspaper in.
"This is the Prophet Evening News, and I have a daily subscription to the newspaper."
Seeing that Rossi and the others looked puzzled, Ah Bai explained, "I've been busy before, and I just had time to receive tonight's newspaper. ”
The Prophet is divided into daily newspapers, which include real-time news from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., and evening newspapers, which supplement the rest of the time. In addition to publishing some complicated information in the game, the newspaper will also update the content posted by players in the newspaper within 12 hours in real time in the column of readers' letters, which is equivalent to the world channel in the game.
Of course, neither the newspaper's subscription price of 6 Galleons per month nor the 10 sicos needed for each speech made Rossi deeply resist it.
It's not that people are stupid and have a lot of money, so why spend money to watch others chat. Rosie said in his heart and said casually:
"I didn't expect you to have the habit of reading newspapers."
"Do as the locals do."
"If you want to be a good explorer, you have to learn to retrieve what is useful to you from the mess of information. ”
What useful information can be found in this newspaper?
Listening to Ah Bai's words, Rosie suddenly became interested, and was just about to lean over to see the content, when his head collided with Erin, who had the same idea.
He looked up and smiled at Erin, then moved his gaze to the newspaper that Aba had opened.
In the upper left corner of the newspaper was the conspicuous-looking masthead of the Prophet's Evening News, and in the eyelet next to it was a magical photograph of a witch about thirty years old, and when the three of Rossi looked at it, she greeted with a contagious smile:
"Hello, I'm the new Minister of the Ministry of Magic, Wilmina Tuft, and thank you for your support of the Ministry."
"She's Miss Taft, who just took over as Minister of Magic, and she looks so young."
Rosie sighed, his eyes swept over the other party's photo, and slowly moved down.
Taft held talks with the Correctional Authority's ambassador to Brantania and actively promoted peaceful and friendly relations between wizards and Muggles. 》

"The Dark Lord is sentenced to permanent detention, and the unrepentant "saint" will eventually come to an end
What should we think of Muggle corrections?
……
Rosie's gaze slowly browsed from one page to another, and she was happily eating melons when she suddenly saw an article titled "How selfish is Rosie who snatches resources from poor players".
"Huh? Is this talking about me? ”
Rosie suddenly took the newspaper from Ah Bai's hand with apricot eyes wide and read it carefully:
After experiencing the sudden update of the game, as a woman, I actually have a crush on Rosie, and my girlfriends also think that she has won glory for us female players this time.
But what happened after a chance encounter made me regret my admiration for her before.
Like a lot of players, I'm a regular pauper player. But luckily, I joined the united, harmonious family of the Half-Blood Wizard Autonomous Society.
After the opening of the Hogwarts faction, our society became a part of Hogwarts for the first time. Out of care and help for us poor players, the club management took time out to take us to the Forbidden Forest Farming Quest.
It was this trip that we ran into Rossi, surrounded by monsters and dying, and her teammates, and to be honest, I regret not stopping my teammates from saving them.
Yes, we saved them, but instead of the slightest gratitude, they wanted to rob us of our resources.
Originally, the resources in the game are public, as a poor player, we don't want to cause trouble, we don't want to worry about her, who knows that she is not satisfied, and secretly hides near us, after we were lucky to brush a rare BOSS and cripple the BOSS, she actually teamed up with her friends to kill us, robbing the first kill of the BOSS.
My friends advised me not to think too much about it, and it is the most normal thing to be robbed of monsters when playing games.
But I really can't stand this feeling of idolatry being shattered by the other person's own hands, and I feel that my heart has been trampled by her.
So, the more I thought about it, the more angry I became, and I couldn't help but borrow money from my friends to publish this article.
I know it probably won't make a difference to Rossi, but I still want to make it out so that players who admire Rossi as much as I did before me can see her face.
……
Alas, in fact, there may be no one else who really admires her except me, after all, as long as you use your brain, think about the update of "Secret Room" for most of the day, Rosie has obviously cleared this dungeon, but did not publish the slightest strategy or clue related to the dungeon in the forum or newspaper, and the previous players who were enthusiastic about publishing the details of the dungeon on the forum and newspaper can know how selfish she is!
……
"Gan!"
After reading this article written by the player who signed Sugar Candy to hack her, Rosie couldn't help but laugh angrily, "It's really interesting, there are really everyone in this game!" ”
"That's right! She's simply distorting the facts! ”
Erin said angrily, "It's clear that they robbed us in the first place, but I'm really embarrassed to say that they saved us!" ”
Ah Bai tugged at the corners of his mouth and said: "There is always this kind of giant baby in the game who likes to tell right and wrong and turn black and white upside down, don't pay attention to it." ”
After a pause, he continued: "The boss is originally a public resource, and it doesn't mean that whoever opens it is whom, the game's mechanism allows for monster grabbing, so there is no problem." ”
While speaking, Ah Bai spent 10 Xi to leave a message at the bottom of the article:
"You also know that resources are public? Does the boss belong to you? Do you still say that others rob? What did you do that you didn't count? also said that others don't share dungeon strategies.,Do you know how many times others have cleared the strategies in the forum before they were written? Playing a game and not wanting to explore the experience by yourself, just thinking about relying on others and eating ready-made, then what are you still playing, go home and watch the Teletubbies! ”
Belch...... Didn't you say you didn't bother with it? So what are you doing here?
Rosie looked at Ah Bai in surprise.
As if seeing the confusion in Rosie's eyes, Abodi's voice became deeper: "It's obvious that we robbed the boss together, but she didn't mention me a word, I definitely can't bear it." ”
"Poof! What you care about is really different! ”
Erin next to her couldn't help but smile and complain.
