Chapter 399 Umbridge in action
Hogwarts, Easter dinner.
Ted opened the door of the auditorium and walked in.
The banquet has been held for a long time now, and the atmosphere is warm.
Ted found his friends and sat down.
Hermione looked surprised when she saw him: "Didn't you say something happened? Why are you back so soon?!"
"Things went smoothly. No one came to make trouble. It's done." Ted said with a smile.
Ted thought that things like this had to have some twists and turns. After all, it’s normal for people to be robbed when doing big things, right?
I didn’t expect it. It’s okay. Maybe it’s because the depths of the underground are far away from God, so I didn’t find him? Ha ha!
Hermione put food on Ted's plate with a smile on her face. Ted was indeed hungry, having been hammering for six hours.
From midnight on Easter to the present evening, more than twenty hours. Haven’t eaten yet!
Hermione was very familiar with Ted, so she suddenly noticed an unattractive ring on Ted's hand.
She looked at the ring strangely. She didn't pay attention to it at first, but she became fascinated without knowing it, as if the ring had some magic power that attracted her.
Ted noticed something strange about her, put his arms around her head, and kissed her hard.
Hermione came back to her senses immediately, glanced at the classmates and friends around her with a slightly red face, and continued eating pretending not to care.
Although everyone knows about the two of them, this is the first time for them to be intimate in public.
So, Harry grabbed Malfoy beside him and kissed him directly on the face.
Malfoy had a piece of steak stuck in his fork and had no idea what was going on.
On the other side, Neville turned his head nervously, and sure enough, Ginny on the other side had already come over.
“Don’t…um!”
Jerry looked left and right, feeling filled with panic.
This meal is inedible! You guys are choking my neck and forcing me to eat dog food!
He turned his head and was about to complain to his good brother who was bound by the same fate, but found that he was holding a double-sided mirror with a "silver smile" on his face and whispering something about meeting him in Hogsmeade on the weekend...
Jerry: What the hell... Sydney, Sydney, where are you! Uh, miss you! I miss you~
…
There are a few days of holiday after Easter, and after the holiday, the school will provide students with future career development advice.
It is the fifth grade after all.
However, this kind of employment advice is generally useless. Most of them just chat with you for a few words and then ask you to sign a document to prove that you have completed the advice process.
When you graduate from seventh grade, you have to sign a document proving that you have found a job.
As for whether you can find a job or not, the school does not restrict your freedom ~ but the data cannot be contaminated by you!
Besides, what is the world like now?
If you buy a teaching building, I will give you a good beating and I will guarantee that you will be educated for the rest of your life. Mouse tail juice, be careful and take care of it.
What I mean is that in the current situation of alienation, all the past experiences are useless.
Those who give you career development advice will be transported to society as talents before you know when.
Today monsters invade, tomorrow alien races arrive, the acquired magic system is modified, the price of acquired magic materials has skyrocketed, and gold galleons may one day depreciate.
It would be safer to get a job as a Ministry of Magic employee.
But again, good things don’t happen to us. It doesn't matter, it really doesn't work.
Originally Hermione wanted to enter the Ministry of Magic, but after hearing Ted talk about some of the relationships and context, her heart dropped.
Although Ted can also squeeze her in, is there any point in this kind of institutional inclusion?
Hermione wants to change the declining magic world and do something for the lower level wizards.
But now I find that the Ministry of Magic and Fudge are responsible for the decline of the magical world. This conflicts with the education I have received over the years!
She couldn't help but fall into confusion...
Hermione, a young and ambitious wizard, will be confused. But wizards like Ron don't.
The Ministry of Magic and Great Britain have nothing to do with me.
I don’t expect to be on welfare, I just want to live my own life.
So he went to the career development advising office and signed the document without even bothering with the advice provider.
It saves both parties trouble.
When Jerry was given a PUA, he was advised that if he couldn't find a job, it would be better to rent out his house and run a Magical Express. He could get married and have a few children first, and it would be better to take out a loan from Gringotts. After Gallon bought a house, his head was about to explode!
Jerry is still conscious: If I listen to this advice, won’t my life be ruined? ! What hatred do we have? !
In the secret base, Ron looked at Jerry who was a little lost and had not yet recovered, and smiled disdainfully: "I told you a long time ago, don't listen to their nonsense."
“My family has lived here for so many generations, and I still don’t know what it’s like here? Besides, these people are all brought by Umbridge’s old toad this year. What kind of decent people can she find?”
While Ron tightened the screws with a magic wrench, he applied some biological lubricant to Unit 1. This Unit 1, which is half magical machine and half magical creature, is his lifeblood.
He doesn’t listen to other people’s nonsense, he only cares about his own life.
Ron's words made Jerry feel relieved a lot - yes, since they were sure that the other party was not a serious person, and they were not the same as him, it would be fine if they didn't listen or believe anything they said. No need to worry!
As for the shrinking population of the magic world, what does it have to do with us? How many years have I been in this world?
It can’t be that we rat people can have more children, so let us have more children, right? You raise me after I’m born!
Why? Are we easy to bully? !
He saw Ron put on a weird metal mask and a wire-like wig, gesturing with a wrench and a magic welding gun in his hand, and even turned on the magic sound.
“What are you doing?” Jerry asked.
Ron's voice came from behind the mask that looked like a welding mask, "Don't make any noise, I'm soothing the machine spirit!"
I heard weird metal drum beats coming from the magic sound, as well as various mechanical sounds, such as gear rotation, connecting rod operation, jet sound, electric current sound...
And Ron had a wrench in one hand and a welding gun in the other, and began to twist to the beat of the drums. His movements were weird and had a special rhythm, which made Jerry look dumbfounded.
Ron can't care about Jerry at this time, he is trying to please the machine spirit!
When Ron signed the document at the career development advice office in the morning, he wrote his occupation: Magic Mecha Operator, Specialty: Special Vehicle Driving—Experienced Driver!
Looking at Ron holding the tool and gesticulating around the kneeling Unit 1, and stroking it rhythmically, Jerry had a strange feeling.
He suddenly remembered something: Is this aircraft No. 1 a male aircraft or a female aircraft? I heard Ron call Unit 1 my great beauty many times...
Ron: I think you don’t understand at all~
And Ron's operation didn't seem to be self-motivated, because Jerry could feel that after Ron succeeded in pleasing the machine soul, the feeling of Unit 1 was indeed different!
While Ron was soothing the machine soul, Neville was cultivating his own magical plant-Super White Fresh.
This is a specially cultivated, super version of Bai Xian, which has a powerful effect on various injuries such as external injuries, internal injuries, burns, corrosion damage, and magic damage.
Then he started to reproduce it in reality. After failing three times, he finally succeeded!
Neville, who had always been steady and cautious, was now jumping around the half-human-tall Super White like an excited chimpanzee. Next to him was Ginny, who had been accompanying him in experiments and helping him.
Although Ginny was a little fanatical when chasing Neville.
Even her brother Ron said: Ginny chasing Neville is like a hound chasing a rabbit! It’s very oppressive! Even if he didn't bite it in the end, the rabbit would be quite frightened. But I still can’t run away…
However, Ginny can tolerate boring experiments. In the game, everyone else is doing monster-killing tasks. She accompanies Neville in experiments and does daily tasks to earn materials.
While Neville and the others were training for the arena competition, she cheered on and provided as much help as she could.
In reality, I accompany Neville in the greenhouse to sort out the humus soil, dragon manure, various plants and seeds, and accompany Neville in his favorite plant research.
To be honest, there is nothing to choose from.
Even Neville himself enjoyed it. It's just that she is too shy and is not used to Ginny's enthusiasm in public.
Jinnina is also declaring sovereignty.
This is exactly what it means for a woman to chase a man, the veil between them!
Jerry's strength has now greatly increased, and he has embarked on his own path as a magical assassin.
His childhood sweetheart, Sydney, has started working officially before him - she follows the "Magic Incident Processing Team" formed by Lu Ping, dealing with monsters from other worlds and local magical phenomena in various parts of the UK. The performance is outstanding.
Jerry gave all the powerful magic daggers he got from Ted to Sydney, which are very sharp against monsters from other worlds.
Harry has now embarked on her own path of magic, and she has a huge number of fans in the school with her eldest sister's personality.
Drinking a lot of beer (butterbeer) every day, eating a lot of meat, and leading his classmates to kill everyone in games.
After his father's "unfortunate death", Malfoy began to mature and become unusually calm. He combed his hair like an adult, put on a handsome suit, and began to take over the family business. He also handled contacts with old people in the past very well.
Sirius no longer picked on this nephew and gave him a lot of help.
Speaking of which, where did old Malfoy go? Ted hasn't contacted him in a while.
…
Because a new “reincarnation function” has been updated in the game, many max-level players have been “reborn” and started to level up again.
So the game started to become popular again, just like when the server was first opened, or when the version was updated to level 40, everyone was leveling up like crazy.
It seems that the reincarnation function will help extend the life of the game!
However, recently Parker is studying a new function - the home system, to which he wants to add the manor residence function.
Allow individual players, or small groups, unions, etc., to have their own manor residence.
The slogan has been thought out: "We don't beat people, we just want to give players a five-star manor~"
And the construction and upgrading of the manor naturally costs money!
Does the material cost money? Does labor cost money? Do architectural drawings cost money? Even the land cannot be given away for free!
In short—you have to pay more!
As we all know, if a game wants to extend the life of the game, how to solve the problem of depreciation caused by the continuous increase of game currency is a big question.
Players will work hard to defeat monsters and complete tasks, and the game coins will increase more and more.
As a game official, you have to consider the issue of game currency recycling. If recycling is slow, there will be more and more game coins, and eventually something big will happen.
So, you have to find a way to get players to spend money!
Buying a manor is a good idea. If you don’t have money, you can get a loan in the game mall first! Calculate less interest, equal principal or equal principal and interest, you choose! How about it? Isn’t it very humane~
Having such a game currency reservoir is of great benefit.
Everyone has a manor but you don’t, so how can you talk about friends in the game? Which girl would care about you?
Besides, we can promote the "Manor of Love". Without the manor, there would be no love!
In short, you have to buy it!
In this way, players will also have the motivation to defeat monsters and complete tasks, so that their great master can gain more experience and spiritual power.
Besides, don’t let the players be too leisurely, otherwise they will just think nonsense.
If the player can earn an average of 32 gold coins every day, let him spend an average of 35 gold coins every day!
Let him not be hopeless and still have to run for his life! Only in this way can you be honest and fight monsters and complete tasks for a long time.
When Ted saw Parker's plan, he couldn't help but sigh: How despicable! You are the only one who can come up with such a destructive trick! I like it, so do it!
Parker: "Thank you for the compliment, master, I will keep up the good work!"
…
In late April, Umbridge received a message from Fudge, the Minister of Magic, asking Umbridge to go to the Ministry of Magic to see her.
Even if Fudge didn't like Ted, and he didn't like this new thing called Utopia, which is now being used in the wizarding world, there was nothing he could do.
Not only him, isn't Umbridge also using a double-sided mirror?
After all, this thing is so convenient. Nowadays, the owl letter delivery business is very small. It can only deliver newspapers or packages every day.
Now some newspapers and magazines are beginning to wonder if they can get one in Utopia. By then, they can subscribe to the newspaper directly online, which will save them having to print and deliver letters.
If this continues, the owls that have been passed down in the magical world for thousands of years will be unemployed!
Fudge has informed that Owl unemployment data will not be released due to complex calculations.
However, there are many owls with nothing to do, and they sit on the big tree in front of the magic department every day, making a lot of noise.
Umbridge has been feeling uneasy after receiving Fudge's message.
She came to Hogwarts because she wanted to make a career. However, when I got here, I realized that I wanted to keep things simple.
At first I didn’t think too much about it, but after I understood the purpose of Fudge sending me here, I decided to show it off. As a result, he suffered from starvation one after another, and even had to hide in Hogsmeade Village to sleep at night.
Later, I felt that my goal of building reputation in the school and catching up with Dumbledore was a bit too ambitious, so I decided to replace McGonagall.
As the vice principal, McGonagall also plays an important role in the school. If he replaced her, he would have great value and status.
But Professor McGonagall has been working in the school for decades and has more than a few hundred students?
Umbridge made a fierce operation and got Filch, a squib. Even the little wizards from the Ministry of Magic in Slytherin seemed a little confused.
After all, to the little snakes, Umbridge's performance was very poor and seemed to be of little value, so naturally we had to consider the issue of hugging their thighs again. Snakes are so real!
In the past two months, not to mention trying to find ways to undermine Mag's prestige and improve his own status, he had already tried his best just to compete with Peeves.
To be honest, she already has a bit of a neurasthenia. She has to drink Dreamless Sleeping Potion every night to fall asleep. The bags under her eyes are very serious and she looks several years older!
Now, Fudge gave himself a message. If asked about his progress, what would he say?
Umbridge went to see Fudge, Ted knew about it. Who asked them to use their own ideal hometown to convey information?
…
Ministry of Magic, Office of the Minister, Fudge and Umbridge.
"Umbridge, I know that your current performance is not good, and I can let it go. But I have a task for you, which must be completed!"
I recommend you a video, Station B [Bedtime Message 673], to see the modern Xiangzi couple...
