Hogwarts Summoning Guide
Chapter 117 Wizards are not good at math
The next day's Daily Prophet carried a large-scale report on a mysterious Eastern "ninja".
Some people say that he is a master of defense against the dark arts, because he only used a few simple white magic to subdue three "extremely dangerous" beasts;
Some people say that he is a snow mountain cultivator who has lived for hundreds of years, and his magical legends are spread everywhere on the snow mountain. (Bai Lin shook his head after seeing this)
Some people even say that he is a fugitive criminal and that he is responsible for many bizarre cases. Otherwise, why would he cover his face to prevent people from seeing him? (The West always has a strong objection to the act of covering one's mouth.
bias).
However, no matter what people did, the Beast Arena and "Night Stalker" became completely popular. At noon the next day, at the gate of the zoo on Charles Street, there were already goblins selling rough-made ninja dolls.
Si's reaction and execution were once again shocking.
Bai Lin, who had successfully sealed the three beasts, pretended to be an empty bag with "1,000 Galleons bonus" written on it in front of the audience, and then disappeared without giving Patrice a chance to ask for his guest Myra.
opportunity for animal carcasses.
The next game was still a week away. Patrice repeated his old tricks and had another week of voting and campaigning. He even engaged in hunger marketing and found goblins as scalpers to speculate on infield tickets. Bai Lin couldn't help but sigh,
Are all the marketing routines in the Muggle world leaked by goblins?
Bai Lin didn't bother to care about Patrice making money. After all, he didn't dare to lose his own share, and he also got what he wanted, Magic 4, which reached 73 points. After a few more games, he was confident that he could make a breakthrough.
Go up to 100 and reach Dumbledore's level.
However, on the third day of the competition, Bai Lin had just woken up on a makeshift bed in the underground warehouse of the canteen - now his home - when Phoenix delivered a hot breakfast and two owls delivering messages.
.
Bai Lin was a little surprised. These two owls were very unfamiliar. While eating hot dogs, he opened the letter sent by the owls.
The first letter came from Ron's eldest brother, Bill Weasley. It turned out that Bai Lin had asked Ron to help him find out about the dark wizard Mgul.
Bill once told Bai Lin through Ron's reply that Mgul had been transferred to Gringotts in Diagon Alley, but Bai Lin never had time to look for his bad luck.
This time Bill's letter was to tell Bai Lin that Mugor is now the door lock inspector of Gringotts, because many vaults use magic door locks, and these magic door locks need to be inspected every one or two years.
energy to avoid failure.
Bai Lin thought of Ron's eldest brother in the original work, who was serious, calm, and a very responsible and reliable young man, and felt very grateful to him.
His reply also verified Bai Lin's guess. That Muguer must have gone to the Lestrange family's treasury, but why did he want to obtain the golden cup, one of the Horcruxes? Bai Lin had not figured it out yet.
The second letter came from a stranger, signed Yossi-Claude. Bai Lin thought about it for a long time but didn't know who it was. The content was even simpler. He asked him to meet at a coffee shop on Charles Street at noon tomorrow. There was something important.
Discuss things.
Bai Lin scratched his head and stuffed the letter into his pocket. He was curious about who was looking for him, but he had more important things to do. Poor Zhuo Bi was still imprisoned in the Ministry of Magic. Bai Lin planned to find Pa
Telles, please help.
Don't look at Patrice as a goblin businessman, Bai Lin recently observed that he seems to have quite a lot of energy.
Bai Lin prepared a large bag of gold galleons and came to Patrice's office. The energetic goblin was calculating something at his desk. Seeing him counting his fingers carefully, Bai Lin suddenly became interested in the wizarding world.
There is a new understanding of economics.
He suddenly discovered that Hogwarts does not teach mathematics. The reason why the students still know that 1 1 = 2 is because they only entered the school when they were 11 years old. Before the age of 11, they learned very basic mathematics through home education or Muggle schools.
Arithmetic, but as we all know, the level of arithmetic education for children in European and American countries is difficult to describe. At the age of 11, except for some children with arithmetic talent, others may not be able to understand addition, subtraction, multiplication and division within 100, let alone higher education.
level mathematics.
So the question arises, if everyone in the wizarding society only has a mathematics level that has not graduated from elementary school, then who will do many mathematics-related things in the wizarding society? So the answer is goblins.
This is why Gringotts was opened by goblins, because if you let an ordinary wizard manage money, he may not be able to count hundreds of gold coins.
"Ah, Mr. Director! It's rare to see you!" Patrice said sarcastically, and put the account books and lists on the table into the drawer without leaving a trace.
"Ha, Mr. Patrice, I understand that our Beast Arena was very successful. I was just thinking in the office that it is too hard for you to manage it alone. I happen to be proficient in mathematics, so I wanted to inform you that I
I will take back the financial rights of the arena and share your worries!" Bai Lin said with a fake smile on his face. He knew that if he directly asked this cunning goblin, he would definitely refuse in every possible way, so he decided to save the country in a roundabout way.
"Ah! You can't do this!" Patrice almost jumped up. If Bai Lin is allowed to handle financial affairs, his profits will be completely exposed to the eyes of the Explorer family.
"Eh? Why? Mr. Patrice? Isn't this my right as the director? Or is there something wrong with our accounts?" Bai Lin said with a smile.
Patrice's forehead was visibly sweating, and he hesitated: "This...this...is mainly because you are busy with official duties, and financial matters require a lot of time and energy...Human wizards are usually very slow with numbers...
…”
"You can rest assured that I come from the East. Children there have to learn mathematics from the age of 3 to 22! If you don't believe me, if you ask a math question, I can tell you the answer on the spot!" Bai Lin said.
Patrice said incredulously: "254 gold galleons is how many kilos and how many nats?"
The exchange ratio of gold Galleons, Silver Sickles, and Copper Nuts in Harry Potter is 1:17:493. This exchange ratio is simply anti-human. If you ask an ordinary wizard, how many Sickles are equal to 254 Galleons?
Nat, he's going to show you how crazy he is right then and there.
Bai Lin thought for about three seconds and said: "4318 Silver Siko, 125222 Copper Nat." When he was a child, he was a top student who won the first prize of the Provincial Mathematical Olympiad. How could this question be difficult for him?
Patrice was stunned and took out a small elf calculation tool, which was a bit like an abacus. After calculating for about two minutes, he found that Bai Lin was absolutely right, which simply overturned his three views.
Then Patrice asked another question, and this time Bai Lin answered faster. Patrice was completely convinced, but Bai Lin thought that as long as the calculator was promoted by the Ministry of Magic, all the goblins in the world would probably want it.
unemployed.
Patrice slumped in a chair, seemingly completely despairing of the zoo's financial prospects. Bai Lin was obviously very difficult to deal with in every aspect. I thought Bai Lin didn't care about anything and was a hands-off shopkeeper before, but then I realized
, Bai Lin has complete control over the initiative. After all, he is the representative of the Explorer family and the boss of the zoo.
"Oh, look at my brain, I am actually very busy... Mr. Patrice still has to do many things... It's just that I have encountered some small difficulties recently, which has forced my other affairs to be suspended.
That's why I put my energy back into the zoo." Bai Lin sat across from Patras and poured himself a cup of hot cocoa.
"What's the problem? Leave it to Patrice and I'll help you solve it!" Patrice jumped up, as if he had been spanked with an electric baton.
"Actually, it's nothing," Bai Lin took out his ears and said, "Zhuo Bi, do you know him? He has been detained by the Ministry of Magic, which makes it inconvenient for me to do many things~"
"Put it on Patrice!" the goblin slapped her chest hard and said sternly.
Bai Lin thought to himself: Great, I saved all the gold coins in my pocket! But by the way, how much money did this old goblin earn in the zoo?
