It's the middle of May, and the weather in New York is still a bit of a winter day.

The cold wind blows, and the leaves make a rustling sound.

The three Aurors vanished with their apparitions, and only the tiny alchemy orb above their heads followed.

The light shines through the gaps in the leaves, like a dot of stars, and when you look around the surrounding environment, it seems to be a park?

Walking in the direction of the light, it didn't take long to pass through this small forest, and benches were neatly placed on both sides of the path.

High street lights are on, providing some not-so-strong glow.

Sure enough, it's a park!

Glancing at the watch on his wrist, it was almost nine o'clock in the evening.

Hey, at the beginning of the third round, you were given a difficult problem?

Zhang Xiao grinned, except for the rich areas with better security, New York at night is not as safe as during the day.

Even the 'law and order is better' is different from what the old family understands.

When I watched a movie in my last life, I went out to learn about it, and the better public security in the mouth of foreigners means that there are no vicious public security incidents.

As for encountering homeless insults, pushing and shoving is not a problem, after all, many homeless people have choked their brains.

Zhang Xiao identified the direction, walked slowly out, and continued to think about his situation, many people actually don't know that part of the prototype of Gotham City, where Batman is located, comes from New York, not just Chicago.

There are 180 shootings in Gotham a year, and it is the capital of crime in the mouth of Batman's butler, how much is New York? Almost four hundred.

If memory serves. The strong-fisted mayor Giuliani, who made New York's crime rate drop from the top three in the country to 16 in the country, seems to have just taken office last year?

In other words, the current security environment is still in a bad state?

Zhang Xiao's eyebrows furrowed, and he touched a wad of dollars in his pocket, to be honest, the $1,000 savings were definitely enough.

But if you want to live comfortably for seven days, $1,000 is certainly not enough.

If you want to stay, you will have to spend about $1,000 in 7 days to find a budget hotel, so you still have to make money.

Do the math. Zhang Xiao suddenly found that he seemed to have an advantage, such as Ilvermorny, Vagado, and Castrobusche, which required 6 people to share the two hundred dollars.

Even Hogwarts, which is ranked second, averages $150 per person.

During these seven days, the advantage of being alone was infinitely magnified, and it was only after they had scraped together all the wand clues that the numerical advantage would come back.

The footsteps stopped, and not far away there was a man lying on a bench leaning against the wall, wrapped in a dirty blanket in a weather of about 10 degrees.

Vagabond? But homeless people aren't that rare.

Zhang Xiao retracted his gaze and continued to walk forward, hoping to see some street signs and maps, and when he passed by the homeless, Zhang Xiao keenly found a pair of eyes with a little malice looking him up and down.

It is estimated that he is assessing whether there is a value of doing it, Zhang Xiao's heart moved, but his footsteps stopped again, turned to look at him and asked:

"Where is this?"

The homeless man was startled by Zhang Xiao's sudden question, as if he didn't expect that he would not be afraid to take the initiative to talk to him, and after thinking for a while, he said sullenly:

"Clinton Park—"

Clinton Park? Where is this?

"To be specific?"

Maybe he found out that the Asian young man in front of him didn't seem to be so easy to mess with, at least if he was a soft egg, he would definitely not ask for directions so boldly.

The homeless man relaxed, half-squinted, and said lazily, "Manhattan, boy. Okay, get out of here, I'm not your dad, so there's no need to answer your questions.

You have to thank God, I'm not one of those race knights, or I'd have at least been lying on the ground today. ”

"I think you should thank God." Zhang Xiao came closer, looked at him condescendingly, and said with interest:

"Let's talk about it, you answer some of my questions, how about I let you sleep more comfortably tonight?" Like a comfy pillow, a warm blanket? ”

The homeless man's sleepiness disappeared, and he frowned at the young Asian teenager in front of him, his face hidden in the shadows by the backlight, and he couldn't see it really.

But he inexplicably felt a vigorous, vigorous vitality from the young man in front of him. A faint sense of oppression.

Hell, who is this?

The homeless man couldn't help but sit up, and didn't even ask Zhang Xiao how to keep his promise, but said directly in a low voice:

"What do you want to know? Where are the 'Western medicines' sold? Hear me, don't touch those things, it will ruin you directly. ”

"I'm not interested in those, I just want to know where this is, and where the nearby hotels are, to be average, to be safer, I hate the hassle.

By the way, if you want to go part-time, what is the right thing to do? ”

What a strange question, the homeless man thought, but he answered it seriously, and even had a faint pleasure in his heart, anyway, the night was too boring, so he could only lie down and sleep.

It's not bad to talk to people, just treat it as a boredom.

Zhang Xiao nodded slowly, but he had a basic understanding of the situation nearby, and the rest was to go get a map tomorrow.

"Thank you, then"

He stretched out a hand and snapped his fingers crisply at the homeless man's bewildered gaze.

"What are you doing? Wow——————Shet!!!!! ”

The homeless man was dumbfounded as he looked at the torn cardboard box and broken blanket that he used as a pillow, and he didn't know when it had turned into a soft pillow and a thick cashmere blanket.

"Magic? Oh, my God! You should be like David Kodolfeld and go to a Broadway show! ”

The Aurors, who had been hiding not far away, couldn't help but show up, but they didn't expect the Muggles to attack themselves.

"Haha, isn't it a great magic?"

Zhang Xiao had an expression that you were right, and the homeless man nodded hurriedly and said quickly:

"Since you're such a great magician, you should actually go to street performing."

Heart-moving, street performers?

Zhang Xiao nodded, secretly kept this in mind, said goodbye to the homeless, and walked in the direction he guided, he said that there was a good budget hotel there.

It's called the Clinton Park Hotel, and it's good and cheap.

"It seems that Zhang chose to understand the situation first, to be honest, this is indeed a very smart choice, and the first thing to figure out when he comes to a strange place is his own situation."

Ludo Bagman chattered endlessly, there were many other little wizards, and there were many things that needed to be distributed, just 20 dice could be thrown more than a dozen times, Zhang Xiao's movements seemed to be many, but in fact it was only five minutes.

At this moment, the second-place Hogwarts has not yet set off, so he can only open the commentary on Zhang Xiao's screen.

In order not to be cold, Ludo could only rack his brains to 'plump digging', and Zhang Xiao's casual movements could make him derive several guesses, in fact, it may be that he was standing uncomfortably and changed positions.

Just when he was at a loss and really didn't know what to say, the scene on the projection suddenly made his eyes widen, and not only him, but the audience also exclaimed at the same time.

"Incredible! What do I see? Wandless Shapeshift???

Oh, my God! Wandless Transformation!! ”

Ludo's round face was filled with excitement in an instant, just as wandless spellcasting is a wizard's showmanship, and wandless silence is the ultimate goal pursued by wizards, similar to the volley talisman in the East.

Among the many wandless silent spells, Transfiguration was originally the highest mountain among them, and many wizards who pursued the pinnacle of skill regarded wandless transformation as the ultimate goal, but now they saw it in a young wizard in the fourth grade!

If the unrivaled strength that Zhang showed in the previous two rounds can be explained by sacrifice and brief bursts, then how can this time's wandless and silent spell be explained?

It's not pure power, it's not spell power, it's extreme skill, and it's exclusive to wizards who stand at the top!

"One room, may I ask if it is early?"

Zhang Xiao handed over the 'freshly baked' driver's license, and he was still Zhang Xiao on the driver's license, but he had become a Chinese American young man from New Brunswick in New Jersey.

A city I've never heard of.

"$120 with 1 breakfast—"

The front desk took the driver's license, checked it, and said with a straight face and some impatience.

She was watching NBC's Friends, a popular TV series launched last year with a trend of taking the country by storm, but the nasty Asian kid in front of her interrupted her.

I really don't know why those congressional masters want to repeal the "Chinese Exclusion Act", can't these yellow-skinned monkeys die?

Zhang Xiao beyond the five senses of ordinary people, keenly discovered the hidden contempt and impatience of this front desk, and he reacted after not tasting discrimination for a long time.

This is the United States in the nineties, and the racial knights are even more powerful than in the previous life, second only to the [Civil] [Rights] movement.

He was silent for a while, and could only sigh softly, yes, he can easily educate this front desk, but there is no point in doing so.

Because it's not a question of one person or two, it's a deep-rooted social problem.

If you want to solve it, you need a strong motherland, it is best to hit its own territory, teach it a hard lesson, you need the compatriots who come out to have self-respect, self-love and self-improvement, you need them to be united, and it takes too much to fight against injustice.

(This topic ends here, only the background is described, and it will be mentioned later but not extended, which is necessary for creation)

Two brand-new 100-dollar knives were placed in front of the front desk, which made the front desk look at him in surprise.

As Zhang Xiao understands, the United States rarely uses 100 US dollars, let alone brand new 100 dollars.

As for who likes it?

The answer is gangsters, because cash transactions are the most difficult to regulate, so there are often those rolls of cash in TV dramas.

The front desk's eyes flickered, and when she occasionally looked at Zhang Xiao, she was already suspicious, and she decided to call the police when this suspicious Asian kid went up.

Even if it's really his own money, can she still not understand the U.S. police in this film?

It's going to make him suffer!

Zhang Xiao closed her eyes and rubbed her forehead with some distress, if it weren't for the live broadcast at the moment

Stretched out her hand and snapped her fingers at the front desk, under the strong effect of the confusion spell, the front desk's gaze suddenly scattered, and she shook her head in confusion.

In her eyes, Zhang Xiao has become a blonde and blue-eyed super handsome guy comparable to Leonardo, just at the first glance, the heart of the front desk moved.

In a voice that is so sweet that it trembles:

"Handsome guy, I'll give you a discount with my employee card, you just need." She hurriedly took out the calculator and pressed it: "120*0.672 dollars!"

Zhang Xiao nodded, took the room card and change, and was about to go upstairs, but heard the front desk say in an obviously abnormal voice:

"What if. If you need to, you can call the front desk directly and say I miss you."

Turning his head and watching the front desk put his index finger to his mouth and constantly winking at himself, Zhang Xiao only felt a chill on his body, and hurriedly ran up the stairs.

After washing up in a hurry, Zhang Xiao lay on the bed, with her hands behind her head and quietly in a daze.

I thought it would be an easy game, but the social environment was worse than I expected.

You can't keep confusing spells, can you?

This time, it just didn't have any impact on the game, so the Aurors didn't make a move, and if you use the Confusion Charm to get money directly from others, I'm afraid that what awaits you is elimination.

In the third round, my situation is even more difficult than the first and second rounds!

Slowly closing her eyes, Zhang Xiao silently recited those calm scriptures in her heart, don't think about it too much, the most important thing now is to maintain sufficient physical strength and seize the time to make money.

The homeless man's words slowly drifted through his heart again.

Street magic?

Seems like a good choice

At the same time, the warriors of the other schools finally set out, and one by one they were left behind by the Aurors with a rapid apparition shift.

Some of the unfortunate ones were left in the sea, and the Aurors had no choice but to place them near the water.

These little wizards, who had never lived in Muggle society before, and who were even far away from their basic lives, had dollars in their hands and suddenly came to an extremely unfamiliar environment.

The heavy reality soon taught them the most vivid lesson.

Several young men with tattoos all over their bodies walked towards the beautiful thrilling Fleur with lewd smiles, and it was obvious that the charm of Meiwa was invincible to Muggles.

The little wizard of Kordos Dorez asks in Russian-English with a strong accent where the nearest drinking place is, and he wants to find out the way.

There are also many little wizards standing on the streets of the city, stunned to look at the screen-filled, bizarre shopping mall buildings, and for a while they can't tell who is a Muggle.

These screens, these lights, these strange things are still in the 18th century wizarding buildings, and these little wizards suddenly find it more interesting than the wizarding world!

Neville stood on the side of the gloomy street, his round face full of doubts, and in front of him, several angry people surrounded him:

"Hey, softie, hand over your money, I saw it, in your pocket, 100 dollars showed a corner!"
