Chapter 250 See the bet again
Christmas is approaching, and Hogwarts has finally ushered in the Christmas vacation. This is undoubtedly exciting news for all students. Everyone can’t wait to go home for Christmas.
On the day of the holiday, the Hogwarts express train was quickly crowded with students. Albert, Fred, George and Lee Jordan finally managed to grab an empty carriage in the crowded crowd.
“Next time, be sure to come here early.” Albert sat on the chair and looked out the window at the students flocking to the entrance of the carriage. He was in a good mood.
At eleven o'clock, the train finally moved forward slowly.
Albert rested his chin on his hand idly, looking out the window at the rapidly receding scenery. Next to him, the Weasley twins had just finished a round of wizarding cards. George, who had lost the game, was being forced by Fred to try a red pepper-flavored multi-flavor bean.
"We now have 67 club members." Lee Jordan took out his notebook from his pocket and reported to Albert the situation of the Wizard Card Club in the first half of the semester. "Currently, there are still 39 students who do not have their own wizard card group. "
“Wow, I didn’t know that there were so many members in the Wizard Card Club.” Fred couldn’t help but exclaimed when he heard the number of people reported by George.
“I feel like I’m about to become the biggest club in Hogwarts.” George said as he planned to secretly throw away the red pepper-flavored multi-flavor bean.
Fred turned back and glared at George, warning: "Don't try to throw it away secretly, I will watch you eat it."
"We are already the largest club in Hogwarts, but..." Lee Jordan changed his tone and said to Albert helplessly, "the club still has many problems."
"What's the problem?" George asked, trying to distract Fred so he could throw away the braised bean.
"Our wizard cards are too monotonous. As you all know, many people are not satisfied with such rough cards." Lee Jordan took out a homemade card and gave an example to the three of them. "Compared to crackling explosions, In terms of cards, our cards will seem a bit boring, and more often require players to have a little patience and combination ability."
"You are too impatient." Albert understood what Lee Jordan meant and reminded with a smile: "If you want to make Wizard Cards a popular card game in the magic world, you need enough patience and confidence to play all the games at once. The promotion of all the interesting things will easily make everyone tired. The complex and numerous cards also require players to spend more time to adapt, and all of this needs to be accumulated slowly over time."
Lee Jordan pursed his lips. It was really hard to understand why Albert didn't vigorously promote the Wizard Card. In his opinion, this year is the best opportunity to let most Hogwarts students know about the Wizard Card. existence and recruit more members to the Wizard Card Club.
"Don't worry, listen to what Albert says. His reasons are always more convincing than your suggestions." George pushed a box of Bibi's multi-flavor beans in front of Lee Jordan, and picked up one himself and threw it in. In his mouth, as for the red pepper flavor, George had secretly mixed it into the box of multi-flavor beans.
“Albert is too busy and rarely pays attention to the Wizard card.” Lee Jordan believes that if Albert is willing to focus more on the Wizard card, the optimization of the card will definitely be faster.
"No, no, man, this is our wizard card, the wizard card for the four of us. You can't blame everything on Albert." Fred pinched a red pepper-flavored multi-flavor from the box. The bean was placed in front of George. The latter knew that he couldn't avoid it, so he had to grit his teeth, throw it into his mouth, and swallow it directly.
"Man, you're too hasty." George made a face at Fred, then turned to Lee Jordan and said, "You know, the problem isn't Albert."
This is also something that makes them feel helpless. None of the three of them can keep up with Albert's progress. As a result, most of the things can only be done by Albert himself. However, there are too many things that he needs to be busy with.
"Moreover, even if we complete the Wizard Card, what will happen? Do you think a few underage wizards can keep this wealth?" Albert reminded them again: "After the Wizard Card is completely spread in the magic world, we will Some people will start copying and pirating these cards, just like dung eggs, and you can’t stop merchants who know how to make dung eggs from copying them.”
The three of them were also stunned, and none of them thought that there was such a problem.
“So, we need to put our own labels on the wizard cards, so that each wizard card, like Galleons, has its own label and cannot be copied by others.
I hope that others can see the difference between a fake and a genuine one at a glance, but to do this, I need to know a lot of spells as technical support.
So, our main task now is to steadily expand the player base, let people gradually accept the wizard card, and make them think that the wizard card is more than just a wizard card. It is not enough to be too anxious. Do you understand? "
Lee Jordan looked confused, and he didn’t know if he understood it. He never thought about as many things as Albert, and most children have little patience.
"Man, your brain is definitely not as good as Albert's, so there's nothing wrong with listening to him in some aspects." Fred raised his hand and patted Lee Jordan's shoulder, and took out a gray Bibi's multi-flavor bean. Putting it into the opponent's hand, he continued: "You should also realize that Albert is smarter than us and better at handling this aspect of things. Since messing around on your own will only make things worse, why not What about listening to Albert's advice first?
"Don't be depressed. If you can get the first place in this year's exam, we will..." Before George could finish his words, he was interrupted by Lee Jordan.
"Okay, I know I'm not as smart as Albert." Lee Jordan put the Bibi multi-flavored bean back into Fred's hand, turned his head and looked at Albert who was admiring the scenery outside the window, and sighed. , changed the subject and asked about another matter, "Did your Patronus Charm succeed?"
"Patronus Charm?" Albert glanced back at Li Jordan and continued to look at the scenery outside the window to think about the problem. He quickly opened the skill panel and glanced at the Patronus Charm skill on it. He had just passed the first level. There is no way to directly summon a physical guardian angel.
Albert thought for a while and decided to raise the level of the patron saint to level 2. Anyway, he would still need to try to get the patron saint to speak and deliver the message later.
"Why do you care about this?" Albert asked.
“We are betting on your patron saint. If we lose, we will eat some special-tasting multi-flavor beans.”
As he said that, Fred got a small box from somewhere. There were a lot of weirdly colored multi-flavor beans in it, which made people feel sick just by looking at them.
“It smells like earth, it smells like earwax, it smells like red pepper, it smells like vomit, it smells like toilet paper, it smells like boogers…” Lee Jordan introduced these weirdly colored Bibi multi-flavor beans to Albert with great interest.
"Stop, if you lose the bet, eat these terrible things." Albert quickly stopped Lee Jordan and looked at him with a strange look. He didn't expect that there was also a ruthless person living in the dormitory, and he could actually recognize such a ruthless person. More Bibi flavored beans?
“How to bet?” Albert asked calmly.
"Fred and George think that your patron saint is likely to be related to eagles. If there is a patron saint related to eagles, I need to eat half of the braai beans here. If not, they will have three of them each. You can't spit it out." Li Qiaodan pointed to the multi-flavor beans in the box and explained.
After hearing the three people’s bet, Albert’s face couldn’t help but twitch.
