Hogwarts, a Scholar Becomes a God

"What are these? Poker cards?" Harry, who had lost several games in a row, asked deliberately after seeing what Clark was holding.

Of course he knew it wasn't a poker card, and he wasn't Ron.

Clark showed the thick stack of cards in his hand to Harry and the others, while introducing: "This is a magic card I invented by imitating Muggle game cards, and it is still in the design stage."

Harry took a card, and saw a lifelike werewolf drawn on the poker-sized card, howling at the moon.

Monster Card (Bronze) [Werewolf]: These are evil creatures wandering in the dark night, every full moon night, they will transform into giant wolves, looking for prey everywhere.

On the card in Ron's hand, there was an ugly monster with a stick in his hand.

Monster Card (Silver) [Trolls]: The giants living in the hilly area are powerful but simple-minded. All you need to do is to avoid them far away.

"How does this work?" Harry asked curiously.

Clark smiled slightly, took out a chessboard with a grass field, and spread it on the table.

"This one is actually very simple." Clark randomly drew a [Century] card from the deck, put it in the rectangular space on the board, and motioned for Harry to put it on it as well.

When two cards filled the gaps on the board, a centaur and a werewolf also appeared on the grass at the same time.

"You only need to issue a few simple commands, and the monster you summon will act. For example, this one: attack!"

Accompanied by Clark's order, the horse man also drew his bow and arrow, and shot towards the werewolf.

Without Harry's order, the werewolf would not dodge, so he stood there blankly and was shot to death by Clark's centaur.

After the werewolf died, the card in front of Harry also popped out from the board, and even the pattern turned gray.

At this time, Ron, who was watching from the side, said directly: "Oh, what are you playing, look at me."

With that said, he put the [Troll] card in his hand on the board.

A tall monster appeared on the grassland, and with Ron's "attack", it dragged the stick backwards and rushed towards Clark's centaur.

Seeing the charging monster, Clark didn't panic, but directed the centaur to stand still and shoot. However, the giant monster is not a werewolf, even if it is hit by several arrows, its speed will not decrease.

When the troll rushed in front of the centaur, Ron already had a smug smile on his face, but Clark, as the inventor of the game, naturally wouldn't let him win so easily.

"Dodge, attack."

Under Clark's order, the centaur turned around nimbly and distanced himself from the troll, then stopped again, turned around and continued to shoot at the troll.

After repeating this several times, Ron's troll was in a desperate situation. But when the troll fell down, it also threw the giant club in its hand under Ron's order, and hit Clark's centaur hard.

"Clark, this game is so interesting!" Ron said excitedly, looking at the cards that popped up in front of him.

Of course it's interesting, after all, which kid can refuse this kind of confrontational, collectible, and beautifully pictured card game.

Even the original Clark was obsessed with "Game King" for a long time.

Looking at Harry and Ron who were flipping through the cards, Clark had a smug smile on his face.

Compared with the traditional and monotonous wizard chess, this kind of magic card should be more popular with little wizards. Who makes the wizarding world have so few entertainment activities.

It will also be more expensive though.

In the wizarding world, moving portraits are also graded.

Like the lowest level of magic photos, only a little developer potion is needed, and it can be taken with an ordinary Muggle camera, which can be used on the cheapest newspaper.

And the better one is the magic painting small card that comes with the chocolate frog. The magic portrait in that card only has a very simple behavior pattern, can neither think nor speak, and the only advanced one is that you can leave framed.

As for the most advanced ones, just look at the various portraits in Hogwarts. The characters in those portraits can not only leave their own frames and live in other people's frames, but also communicate with others, possess certain Memory is no different from real people.

But this kind of advanced magic painting can only be found in Hogwarts and pure blood families with a long history.

Because to draw such a high-level magic painting, the painter needs to eat and live with the subject for a long time in advance, so as to grasp the spirit of the subject.

Coupled with the special magic paint, the cost of each high-end magic painting is close to fifty gold galleons for a magic painter who has mastered high-end skills.

And the 30 magic cards that Clark asked someone to customize were only a little more advanced than the small magic painting cards that came with the Chocolate Frog, and they also cost a Galleon.

Clark only estimated the cost, and he knew that this set of magic cards would at least have to sell Metal Galleons to make some money.

Of course, if the scale increases, the selling price can also be reduced to three gold Galleons.

But the entire British wizarding world is only a few thousand people, and there are only a few hundred young wizards studying at Hogwarts. This kind of potential consumer group is really too small. If you want to make a business based on this If not, I am afraid that there will be no money in a short time.

However, Clark is still ready to invest a little time and energy. His intention of inventing the magic card is to integrate the culture of the Faerun world into the card, and then subtly influence the wizards in the wizarding world. Making money is only secondary to him.

After all, wizards in the wizarding world are unbelievers. They neither believe in God nor Merlin, they are just a group of unbelievers.

Under such circumstances, Clark wants to spread belief in the wizarding world, spread professional knowledge, and uphold the kingdom of God. Naturally, it is extremely difficult.

So Clark is going to use magic cards as the first step of cultural integration, integrating the culture of gods into card games, so that wizards, especially young wizards, can adapt to this.

It's a pity that the current portrait intelligence of magic cards is still too simple, and it is completely unable to adapt to more complex gameplay.

If this game really wants to mature, I'm afraid it will have to wait until Clark successfully changes jobs.

The current version that Harry and the others are playing is just an internal beta version.

But even in the closed beta, Harry and Ron had a great time.

Not only them, but also the later Weasley twin brothers and other little Gryffindor wizards who stayed in school joined in.

In the small common room, it suddenly became full of excitement.

"Oh, why don't you come out of the [Vampire], that one that can fly will definitely catch up to the [Horse Man]."

"Defense! Defense! Look at the description of this [Dwarf Shield Warrior], it says he is good at defense, why do you let him fight the troll!"

"Hurry up and hide..."

The quarrels were endless, and Clark knew that he might not be able to sleep well tonight.
