Chapter Seventy-Five: Free is often the most expensive
The test results showed that the troll golem had been successfully crafted.
Love put it away.
Hermione:?
"What did you do to it?" She only felt that the troll mummy disappeared in front of her.
How could such a big mummy disappear in the blink of an eye?
"It's also part of the summoning spell, otherwise do you think I'm going to take this big guy with me everywhere I go? It's also stupid. β
The magic of the summoning spell once again refreshed Hermione's cognition, and it turned out that such a huge puppet could also be hidden by magic and carried around. It seems very bizarre, but considering that this is Hogwarts, it seems very reasonable.
"This is a secret method that I deciphered from a manuscript handed down from ancient Egypt with Faxie, and I guess there is only one such case in the entire wizarding world, not only did we use the Hogwarts collection, but we also consulted non-magical texts, which helped a lot in translating the text." Love was so pleased with his achievements that he considered himself to have uncovered a glimpse of the magical spectacle of ancient Egypt thousands of years ago.
"Soon there will be a second case." Fox smiled slightly, and gave a hint to Love, telling him not to forget what he had promised himself before, after the troll puppet was ready, he would also make a suitable magical animal for himself.
Hearing this from Love, Hermione suddenly had the idea of studying ancient Egyptian texts with them. However, as soon as this thought flashed through her mind, the assignments assigned by the professors and the revision plans she had made appeared and restrained her in place like shackles.
Hermione's time was almost full, and she couldn't find time to do extracurricular research with Love.
"It's so good, I'm so envious of you......" Hermione whispered, a look of envy in her eyes.
"You can decipher the manuscripts of Ancient Egypt with us, can you take her with you, Faucie?" Love read Hermione's eyes and asked Foxie if she could get Hermione to join their "project team", not only because of his personal relationship with Hermione, but also because Hermione was a hard-working, gifted witch who would be able to speed up the decipherment process considerably.
"Of course, one more person has more strength, and there are still a lot of ancient Egyptian manuscripts in the library!" Fauldon had no dissent, and for her, a diligent and intelligent person like Hermione was not too few.
"But the homework left by the professors, and the revision, if you want to translate the literature, these will be delayed, don't forget, we have the final exam soon, or are you willing to decipher the literature during the holidays?" Hermione still couldn't let go of her serious studies.
In her mind, the knowledge taught by teachers should be given priority.
"Now that you've learned those spells, there's no need to spend too much time on them, it's the least necessary to do your homework for the sake of completing it." Faulksi shrugged her shoulders and persuaded Hermione: "And grades are not that important, in the end, the standard of employment in the wizarding world is still based on your O.W.L.s and N.E.W.T test scores, and it's not too late for you to prepare well when you are in the fifth or seventh grade." β
"Butβ" Hermione sensed something was wrong, but she didn't know what was wrong.
"That's what I thought, it's pointless that your revision plan is true, and I'm going to start reading two weeks before the end of the semester. But I don't have a problem with you if you want to, because we won't be translating the manuscript anytime soon, and you can always join us when we start translating a new manuscript - if you know it. β
In Love's opinion, it is necessary to study hard, but Hermione's enthusiasm for learning is obviously too much, and there is really no need to review the knowledge that she has mastered over and over again. What's the point? Hogwarts doesn't have the kind of exam where thousands of troops cross a single-plank bridge, and students are asked to pay attention to every word.
Faulcy glanced at Love approvingly, she also thought that a witch like Hermione was wasting her talent by wasting her time on mechanical recitation, and that she might as well devote her energy to the deciphering of ancient Egyptian manuscripts!
"By the way, can I take the books in the library out of the school?" As for Hermione's plan for the summer, Love thought it was feasible, but the Hogwarts rules would most likely not support them.
Even in a Muggle school, taking a thousand-year-old book off campus requires layers of approval, most likely the signatures of both the librarian and the headmaster, not to mention the wizarding world, which regards secrecy as a cornerstone of society.
"Of course not, but we can find a way to rub the text out of the book." Faucia thought that it was not necessary to translate manuscripts in originals, and that they could make a copy of the papyrus scroll and take it outside to study.
"Let's go to my house to study the manuscript together during the summer vacation, my home is spacious."
"Good."
"I was going on vacation with my mom and dad, and it looked like it was necessary to cancel my vacation plans!"
"You don't have to ......"
In a few words, everyone has already planned what to do during the summer vacation.
After leaving the Room of Requirement, the three of them returned to the common room of their own college.
As soon as Love climbed into the Room of Need, he was approached by Fred and George.
The twin brother grinned and gave him a money bag containing a few gold gallons and a large pile of silver sico, which was the dividends of the card game he and his twin brother had launched.
The twins originally wanted Love to take 50% of the money earned by the wizard's killing, but Love took the initiative to let Ishei come out to avoid internal disputes in the future.
This made Fred and George a little embarrassed. In their opinion, the idea of the game came from Love, and the various cards were mainly designed by him, and the two brothers were only responsible for production, and Love should take the lion's share.
It's just that Love is resolute, and they can only listen to him, but this favor, they choose to keep it in their hearts.
"But we have bad news for you," Fred cut to the chase after a few casual remarks, "The wizarding market at Hogwarts is almost full, and we've only received three orders in the past few days, compared to that many in one morning. β
At this time, Fred, like the chief who learned that his oil field was about to be depleted, was full of worry.
This is also normal, theoretically a set of wizards can kill enough eight people to play, with the size of Hogwarts, it is almost enough to sell a few hundred sets, and there are always some young wizards who will choose to play their friends' cards.
"It's not a big problem, it's time to move on to the second phase." The corners of Love's mouth curled slightly: "The market has opened, and it's time for us to get back to our roots." β
In Love's opinion, there is no more expensive game than a free-to-play game. Some people, more than 100 yuan of stand-alone life and death refusing to start, the free gacha game is provided every month, at the end of the year, look at the bill, the good guy throws thousands of dollars, stand-alone games and game consoles are tied together but not so expensive.
And he, he wants to introduce this evil mechanism into the wizarding world.
"We're not going to sell the whole set of cards, we're going to sell card packs instead, and one pack is just one Siko, and there's five wizard cards or five game cards in it, and there's the classic cards we sell, and we're going to pick a few random packs and put the new cards we've introduced." Love's mouth at thirty-six degrees Celsius uttered the words as cold as minus thirty-six: "This way, people will keep buying our card packs in order to play new cards - that's a lot more profitable than selling the whole deck." β
Fred and George looked at each other, and they only felt that their hearts were rushing, and the hairs on their arms stood up. It was as if they saw a large number of gold gallons flying towards them.
"I'm going to tell you about the latest cards I've come up with, you see, we can launch a wizard who can use [Attack] as [Defense], [Defense] as [Attack], and every time you activate this skill, you can get a card in the opponent's hand, do you think this card is strong?"
"It's a little too strongβ"
"That's what you want, otherwise how would everyone buy a card pack?" Love also knew that launching a wizard card of this strength at this point in time would be detrimental to the lifespan of the wizard kill, but ......
Gold, gold, money, money!
In order to implement this gacha model, he can only do this.
That night, Love, Fred, and George had been discussing the development strategy of the future wizard killing until late at night......
