Chapter 5 The Wand and the First Customer at the Grocery Store (Modified)
After a few words of greeting, Hermione chose her wand and ran over from the counter: "Dad, look, I have a wand." Then she saw Ryan and asked in surprise, "Ryan? You want to have sex too?"
Gwartz?”
"yes."
At this time, Mr. Granger and Mr. Lambert finished their greetings, grabbed Hermione and said: "There are still a lot of things on the list that I haven't bought. I think we have to hurry up." Then he said goodbye to the Ryans and his son and left.
Wand shop.
After bidding farewell to the Grangers and his daughter, Ryan came to the counter. He found an energetic-looking old man standing behind the counter. This should be Mr. Ollivander. He had a pair of light-colored eyes, which were dark and dark.
The store looks like two moons.
"Hello, my name is Ryan Liang. I'm going to Hogwarts this year and need a wand." Ryan said hello nervously.
"Oh, a newcomer, let me see what kind of wand suits you." Ollivander took out a tape measure from his pocket. "Which arm do you use to use the wand?"
"Well, it should be the right hand," Ryan replied.
At this time, the tape measure was wrapped around Ryan like a rattan and began to automatically measure the data of each part of the body. Ollivander took this opportunity to take some boxes from the cabinet at the back. "Wands are not mass-produced, each one is unique.
, so I need to go through testing to find the right user for my wand."
The tape measure quickly measured the body data and rolled it into a ball at Ryan's feet. "Then Mr. Ryan, try this wand. It's made of ebony and unicorn hair. It's eight and a half inches long. It's very elastic."
Ryan waved, and a box suddenly flew out of the cabinet, almost hitting his head.
It seems that the probability of hitting the target right the first time is not high.
When testing the seventh wand, as soon as he held the handle, Ryan felt a warmth suddenly spread throughout his body, and some sparks shot out from the head of the wand.
"Ah, great, you fit this wand very well." Mr. Ollivander said with a smile.
He put the wand into a long box, wrapped it in brown paper, and said: "Pine wood, phoenix feather, twelve inches long. It is a wand that is very picky about its owner. You are lucky."
After paying Ollivander eight galleons, Ryan and his father left the wand shop.
After doing some shopping, I only had about 70 galleons left. Considering that Hogwarts includes room and board, this amount of money is enough for the school.
Finally, they hailed a taxi from the Leaky Cauldron and went home with their belongings in large and small bags.
During tea time, Ms. Sally kept asking the two father and son about what they had seen today. It took them a lot of effort to calm down the curiosity of the boss at home. While eating scones, Mr. Lambert asked Ryan: "What do you think about wizards?"
Do we have pens that can write our own novels?"
Ryan suddenly thought of the reporter's quill in the fifth grade and said: "I think wizards can make their own pens move, and there may even be pens that can automatically correct errors, but dad, you can write what you want."
I probably won’t have the pen for a novel.” After hearing this, Mr. Lambert shook his head a little disappointed.
…
During the following holidays, Ryan was immersed in the study of a large number of textbooks on hand, and occasionally went to a nearby park or fast food restaurant to discuss the problems encountered while reading. To be honest, Ryan considered leaving the protagonists.
Stay away, but then I thought that as an eleven-year-old child, after knowing that he was going to a strange place, he began to alienate the only acquaintances he could go with. This kind of thing is suspicious, so it is better to let nature take its course in the future.
Since this period is the only time before adulthood when one can cast spells in the non-magical world, Ryan has used all the spells in the book in these twenty days. Unfortunately, only some very simple spells can be used. It seems that
You can't use magic spells just by knowing the spells, just like you can't practice peerless martial arts just by reading the secret books.
On the last night before heading to Hogwarts, Ryan packed his luggage and prepared to go to bed early. Suddenly, a notification sounded from the system in his head.
When guests come to your door, please do a good job of receiving them
Ryan immediately got up and packed up. After thinking about it, he put some of the extra magical plant seeds he bought in Diagon Alley and the cultivation manual in a bag, and chose to go to the grocery store.
Entering the grocery store, Ryan found that there was no change from the last time he left, except that next to the flowerpot on the shelf, there was another glass bottle, which contained a lot of golden particles the size of soybeans.
Taking the bottle, a message came over.
Sunlight crystal, a specialty of small planting bases, is produced by light-producing plants every two hours. It can be used to catalyze plant growth and provide sunlight.
How to use: When promoting the growth, you need to bury the roots of the plants and meet the water and fertilizer needs. When you need sunlight, please soak the crystals in water, which can provide equatorial noon sunlight for one hour within a radius of five meters. Of course, if you crush it, you can get
A three-second burst five times as bright as sunlight.
Previously, Ryan asked the system to plant new plants in his yard, because zombies would not be interested when the house was empty, so except for the pea shooter on the outermost layer, half of the other places were planted with sunshine mushrooms and sunflowers. Now that
When the small courtyard is full of plants, more than a hundred sunshine crystals can be produced in a day.
After seeing the newly added items, Ryan sat behind the counter and let the system let the guests in. The air at the door was distorted, and a middle-aged white man wearing a heavy fur coat walked in. This man had thick snow on his shoulders, as if he had just arrived.
Coming from the ice and snow.
After the man entered the door, he probably felt a little hot and unbuttoned his shirt. Ryan found that he was wearing a gorgeous Victorian-style dress underneath.
When he saw Ryan behind the counter, he showed an expression of disbelief and paused for a moment, but finally walked to the counter and said with a serious face: "Kid, my people and I are in trouble. We are about to
When I was in despair, I was guided here by a voice from the underworld, hoping that fate would not play a cruel joke on me."
Ryan said: "Can you tell me what went wrong? Only by knowing what happened can I be sure I can help you."
The middle-aged man began to introduce the dilemma he was facing. From the words London, global cooling, steam core and winter home in his words, Ryan immediately knew that this uncle came from the winter home in the game Ice Age in his previous life.
They were those who chose to leave on the dreadnought after the energy tower exploded. However, the difficulty of the transfer was beyond expectations, and now they are encountering difficulties.
Sure enough, the uncle spoke: "Our world suddenly entered a harsh ice age. The surviving humans could only form settlements with steam energy towers as the core and rely on the heat and energy they provided to survive. But there was a problem with the energy tower in our settlement.
We could only leave there and choose to migrate. This decision was correct. Just after we left, we saw the energy tower completely destroyed in the explosion. Now most of our survivors can only rely on the dreadnoughts that can operate on the ice to find new places.
The foothold, but now we have not found it, and the supplies are insufficient, I..."
At this point, this steely and determined uncle actually covered his face with his hands and started crying. It seemed that as a leader, he was under too much pressure.
After hearing this, Ryan raised his hand and patted the master's shoulder to comfort him. Then he began to recommend the plants on his hands to the middle-aged man: "I have three plants here that should be able to solve your current problem."
The uncle raised his head excitedly and asked, "Really?"
"Of course it is." Ryan said, "Two of the plants can produce sunlight during the day and night respectively, and the other can produce 710 peas the size of an adult's fist every day under normal circumstances. After grinding, each pea is
The pea soup produced can last an adult for a day.”
After listening to the detailed introduction, the middle-aged man excitedly grabbed Ryan's hand and kept thanking him. After he calmed down a little, Ryan asked: "I am asking for an equal exchange here. What are you going to exchange with me?"
The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment: "We were in a hurry when we left the UK. We only brought survival supplies and no money."
Ryan looked at the valuation table given by the system and said: "I can't use your banknotes. I have a wide range of payment methods, from precious metals, materials to technology. The things I provide can save your lives. Correspondingly
, you should also come up with something of similar value."
The man thought for a while and said, "You give me the seedlings and cultivation and propagation technology of these three plants, and I will exchange them with you for our most critical difference engine, energy tower and robot technology."
"Deal, although to me your technology tree is completely different from mine, I'm sure I won't be able to use it." As soon as Ryan finished speaking, a space door appeared next to the man, and a golden light stream flowed out.
, turned into a book on the empty shelf, with a gold cover and the words "Winter House Industrial Manual" written on it.
After confirming that the payment had been received, Ryan put all the plants except those that had been planted and a book in a bag and handed it to the middle-aged man. At the same time, he handed over the bottle filled with sunlight crystals: "Plants need to be propagated to grow.
Time, you can use this to save yourself."
The middle-aged man's eyes were a little moist. He took out an exquisite gold-case pocket watch from his arms and put it in Ryan's hand. "Thank you for your help. This is the most precious thing in my body. I hope I can express my gratitude to you."
After saying that, he bowed to Ryan, turned around and left dragging the big bag containing the plants.
At this time, a sound came from the system
You saved a city, changed its fate, and gained 3 offset points
Offset point? What is it?
Ryan looked at the system display panel and found that in addition to the connected world, there was a new data column of offset point.
It turns out that every time his behavior affects the original destiny of a certain world, he can obtain a different number of offset points depending on the degree of the world.
Offset points can be used to randomly open a door to a certain world or to directionally open a door to the world of customers who have visited the grocery store. They can also be used to control power. In the grocery store, general knowledge materials obtained from transactions can be used to
Instilled into Ryan's brain for free. But in terms of extraordinary power, the greater the difference between the extraordinary power and Ryan's world, the more deviation points are needed for rapid learning.
For example, if Ryan wants to learn internal strength, it will take time and luck to learn it by just reading books and explanations. After using the offset point, he can master it instantly.
After figuring out the purpose of the offset point, Ryan opened a space door and went to the world of Plants vs. Zombies to give the previously promised magical plant seeds to Crazy Dave.
Ten minutes later, Ryan showed up at the grocery store empty-handed because Dave said he could only decide what payment to make if he determined the purpose of these seeds. Fortunately, the system prompted that his seeds provided inspiration for Dave's development of new plants.
, so an offset point of 1 is obtained.
After dealing with all this, Ryan left the grocery store and returned to his bed, waiting for the time to go to Hogwarts the next day.
