Hogwarts starts with stealing power
Chapter 55 Opening bets
Draco met Lin Xia in the common room, and the first thing Lin Xia said to him was:
"Write to Uncle Lucius, and my business will be done!"
Draco was stunned, his lips slightly parted, and he waved his hands vigorously with excitement.
"Lin Xia, I knew that nothing could stop you!"
...
Perhaps because of the professor's tacit approval, or perhaps because the young wizards were keenly aware of something, the rumors about Lin Xia did not dissipate over time, but became more and more intense.
Even the seniors joined the discussion.
Among them, the Weasley twins even opened a bet for Lin Xia, betting on when Lin Xia's good deeds would be revealed.
First tier: within one day, odds 1:20
Second tier: within three days, odds 1:10
Third tier: within one month, odds 1:1.5
Draco often bought items and news from the twin seniors, so he was the first to know that they opened the bet and mentioned it to Lin Xia.
Lin Xia's eyes flickered slightly, and she asked with interest: "How many gold Galleons do you have?"
Draco said excitedly: "One hundred gold Galleons, what, you want to bet too?"
Lin Xia felt that the Weasley twins were quite business-minded and had a good reputation among the lower-grade students, except that they liked to bully their younger brother Ron.
"Betting, why not bet, this is free money for us, and I will receive the manuscript sent to me by the magazine tomorrow."
Draco's eyes lit up, and he was eager to try: "How much do you have, we will all bet on the first tier, the odds are big enough!"
Lin Xia thought for a while: "Go and ask the twins how much the current bonus pool is. We can't empty their bonus pool and let them have negative assets."
To make money, harmony is the most valuable, everyone can make money, and harmony brings wealth.
Draco immediately ran to find out the news.
But I don't know if Draco, the old employer, is too close to Lin Xia. Everyone knows that he is a good friend of Lin Xia, which makes the twins wary.
The twins did not tell Draco the amount of the bonus pool, but proposed a new way of cooperation.
In the evening, Lin Xia heard the news brought by Draco, closed the book and smiled.
"You said they want to cooperate with me and share the bonus pool together?"
Draco nodded and said with some annoyance: "Later, I said I wanted to place a bet, but the twins refused to let me place a bet. They also said that if I continued to pester them, they would not even accept bets from first-year students."
Lin Xia asked leisurely: "Did they talk about the distribution ratio?"
Draco: "They get 50% of the money earned, and you get 50%."
Lin Xia said decisively: "They get 40%, we get 60%, and I'll give you 10% of it. I can't let you run errands for nothing. If they accept this proposal, you can tell them about me."
Draco hesitated: "How about we stop talking? You take 70%, they are using your reputation to open the market. "
Lin Xia shook her head and said meaningfully: "You have to make some money for them, otherwise how will they remember you next time something good happens? Four or six is enough."
"Also, remind them that they don't accept large bets. This is just a casual play, and students can't be bankrupted. If it goes too far, the school will definitely intervene."
Draco: "Don't worry, they are still very experienced. The minimum bet is a copper Knut and the maximum is a silver Sickle. Gold Galleons are not accepted."
That night, Draco reached an agreement with the twins on behalf of Lin Xia.
Knowing that Lin Xia would be able to spread the news tomorrow, the twins immediately raised the odds and announced that they would close the market tonight.
Ron heard the news and ran to his brother to place a bet.
In the evening, the entire Gryffindor common room was bustling with people. Not only the lower grades, but also the upper grades rarely gathered together, placing bets and discussing Lin Xia's affairs.
Ron squeezed in from the crowd and conservatively chose the one-month option. His brothers looked at each other and said nothing.
Harry was also pulled over by Ron to bet together, but Mikel was unwilling to bet even a silver Sickle.
Hermione was different. She bet on all three options, all with one silver Sickle, calling it the "law of victory".
Perhaps because Hermione's expression was too confident, coupled with her extraordinary aura of being a top student, Ron followed suit and bet on the other two options.
At night, in the golden wooden house, Lin Xia practiced with full concentration.
Before practicing, she boiled another piece of "Dragon's Nerve" as a cultivation resource.
Originally, she thought that ten pieces of "Dragon's Nerve" would be enough to support her to break through the third level of skin refining and enter the level of flesh refining.
But after taking it continuously, she found that the body's absorption of "Dragon's Nerve" was becoming less and less obvious.
The body seemed to have developed drug resistance and began to resist the absorption of such supplements.
Just like taking medicine, even if it is a tonic, if you take too much, the benign stimulation to the body will be reduced.
Lin Xia twisted her body and performed various difficult and extreme movements in order to stimulate the potential of various organs and even cells.
The body gradually became hot, and after a period of time, it quickly subsided, far less lasting than before.
An hour later, Lin Xia finished practicing, and the red body quickly faded and returned to its normal state.
Lin Xia looked down at her arm and frowned slightly.
"I can't take it anymore. I have to stop for a while. Before that, I have to find a substitute."
It was a pity that she felt that she had already passed half of the progress of the third level of skin refining.
If her cultivation resources can be replenished, she is sure to make a breakthrough this month.
…
The first class in the morning was potions class.
As expected, Hogwarts has expanded its teachers. Although the number of students in class remains the same, students from the four major colleges come to attend the lectures, finally achieving "four colleges under one roof".
What makes the little badgers a little painful is that they have to attend two potions classes in a row.
Perhaps the school discovered that this year's freshmen were very poor at handling potions, so they increased the length of potions classes.
Fortunately, Harry was absent from this class.
Unfortunately, Professor Snape's temper remained bad.
In the past, when Harry was around, he only targeted Gryffindors.
There is no Harry now, he is targeting all houses, even Slytherin is under his radar.
The little wizard was learning the sobriety potion at this time, which was the second magic potion he learned after the scabies potion.
The purpose of sobering agents is to avoid falling into sleep and to awaken from anesthesia or concussion.
"Maybe you should go to the bathroom and see how much water has been poured into your brain. You haven't remembered any of the key points that have been emphasized over and over again. I have said many times that you need to add six snake teeth to the mortar, six!"
A little Slytherin wizard couldn't help but complain to his companions: "I remember he only lectured on theory for twenty minutes, and then kept asking us to practice. How could he lecture so many times?"
Snape's voice suddenly came out from behind him: "It seems that you are not satisfied with my teaching methods. Why don't you stand on the podium and let all the students see what you do."
This is an affirmative sentence, not a question.
The student was so stiff that he didn't dare to make a sound.
Snape said slowly: "What, this is the nobility that Slytherin advocates, and he doesn't even have the courage to challenge difficulties?
Or do you think you are more stupid than those reckless lions, mediocre badgers, and eaglets who can only talk with their mouths? "
Now, immediately, immediately, stand on the podium, I don't want to repeat it a third time. "
Snape's voice was cold and low, like the murmur of a crawling snake. Coupled with the fact that the basement was dark and damp, the effect was full of horror.
The Slytherin student had to stand on the podium and make the sobering potion from scratch.
What a disaster!
The bad news: Didn't make the cut.
A piece of good news: you can try to see if you can be resurrected. So, let’s give it another try! The follow-up reading next Tuesday is very important. I hope everyone can come and take a look. If the resurrection is successful, there will still be 20 more chapters on the shelves!
I don’t have many manuscripts saved. I have been working hard on writing after finishing my work these days. Sometimes I fall asleep while writing. I hope all brothers and sisters can help me!
