Chapter 1051 Student Handbook? Magic Book!
This letter, or rather, this package...
Percy Weasley looked thoughtfully at the parchment package in his hands.
On the seal on the reverse side of the thick parchment envelope, there was a wax seal that he was very familiar with - a shield coat of arms, with a capital "H" surrounded by a lion, an eagle, a badger and a snake - The emblem of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
He squeezed the package in his hand. Judging from the tactile feedback inside, it seemed to be a book that was not thick.
"Strange? Did you send out two admission notices? What is this-"
Beside Percy, Ginny had already eagerly opened the envelope in her hand.
Then, a small, thin book appeared in front of them.
It has a light brown cover and the Hogwarts school emblem is branded on the front. It looks like a customized Hogwarts notebook.
Before Ginny could finish her words, as if to answer her question, the diary seemed to be blown by a strong wind, and the pages suddenly turned over, finally stopping on a blank page in the middle.
Or more accurately, what was once a blank page.
Under everyone's gaze, clear ink gradually seeped out on the page, forming several lines of text that kept flickering.
"Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry - Student Handbook (Gryffindor)"
"Owner: Ginny Weasley (to be confirmed)"
"Cumulative credits: 17, current credits: 17"
"Dear Miss Weasley, this is your comprehensive personal handbook for your school days. Please keep it safe."
"If it is lost or irreversibly damaged, please go to Professor Apokalis to apply for a replacement in time.
"During your studies at Hogwarts Magic, all your outstanding performance will be recorded and you will be awarded corresponding credits. Of course, in contrast, any violation of your rules will also be recorded, and you may be punished. Penalties such as credit deduction and authority reduction may occur.”
"Specific instructions and more functions will be gradually unlocked after official activation and confirmation."
"——(Head of Gryffindor and Vice-President) McGonagall Minerva"
"Activation and confirmation guidelines are shown in the figure: (Picture)"
"Now, please draw your wand, point it at the mark on the page, and say your name clearly."
"Okay, how long do you plan to continue watching? Don't you have your own package?"
Ginny finished reading the words on the page softly and looked around at the brothers surrounding her unhappily.
The excellent blood of the Weasley family was clearly revealed at this moment. Even though Ginny was the youngest sister in the family, when she became impatient and angry, the men of the Weasley family still had no idea of resistance - —Fred, George and others immediately dispersed.
Just like the package Ginny Weasley received, every little wizard in the Great Hall received such a "Student Handbook".
However, most of everyone's doubts exploded in their minds like fireworks.
A few young wizards who were relatively close to the desk of the faculty did ask the professor, but the responses they all received were:
"Please activate the manual first and read the explanations carefully. If you still have questions that you don't understand, you can ask the professors to answer them one by one later."
On the other side of the Great Hall, Draco Malfoy's owl landed on his shoulder, bringing him a package.
Seeing the "Student Handbook" automatically turning pages and displaying after the parchment was opened, the little wizard who had just been promoted to C-level member of the Foundation was immediately shocked. He looked at the handbook as if he was under a spell. He was sluggish for at least half a minute before he became active again.
Is this the "staged achievement" that the Major Arcana calls you? No wonder he received the promotion reward a few days ago.
Speaking of which, Draco hasn't heard about the specific progress of the "Diary" research for a long time.
However, judging from the "student manuals" in front of me, all the magic in Tomli Del's diary has been cracked.
Even some optimizations and improvements have been completed - at least the original "diary" capability cannot achieve large-scale parallelization.
And this means that the value of the "Dark Lord's Horcrux" is down to the last fragment of the soul torn out by Tom Riddle.
It is obviously impossible for the professors at Hogwarts to produce "Horcruxes" in large quantities.
However, based on some basic logic and techniques, it is still possible to create some special "magic books" that can record content, update, and settle tasks in real time, especially after the successful breakthrough of the ternary magic computer, the future development prospects Even more impressive.
And if you use the magic stone to break through certain technical black boxes, you can even attach more functions to the "magic book".
Of course, only a very small number of wizards have the opportunity to experience such preferential treatment in advance.
"Well, each of you's 'magic book' is specially made."
Elena happily looked at the little wings around her and explained triumphantly.
"Of course, officially speaking, what you have in your hands is the 'Student (Disciplinary Committee) Handbook'. In addition to regular credit records and student task releases, there are many additional bonus points and tasks - such as the Disciplinary Committee's Daily and weekly tasks, achievement system, etc.”
"...What system?" Hannah blinked in confusion and repeated Elena's words.
"Achievement, Hanhan, milestone system——"
Elena shook her finger, with a bright look in her eyes, and explained cheerfully.
"This is a very important pilot. You can think of it as a goal or a wonderful Easter egg hidden in campus life."
"Its requirements may be simple to achieve, but they may also be complex; they may require wisdom, energy, or both. But no matter what, it will reward you without exception after it is achieved - — Certain rewards that are so valuable that they cannot even be measured in gold galleons.”
"However, due to the possible existence of certain loopholes and dangers, as well as the limited number of achievements... let us pilot it for the time being."
Games come from life, but are transcendent from life.
Or to put it in more popular terms, life requires a sense of ritual.
Among all the rituals, the most obvious manifestation is undoubtedly the achievement system that will be popular in later generations.
This not only provides new challenges for energetic little wizards and meets the needs of goal-oriented individuals, but also subtly allows students to understand their goals and...
Through countless trophies and achievements, a "book of memories" about Hogwarts is created for students.
The only troublesome part is that little wizards may do crazy and irrational things in pursuit of certain achievements.
“In addition, if certain technical difficulties can be overcome, real-time maps will be added to the ‘manual’ in the future.”
Elena shrugged, rubbed her fingers on the spine of Hermione's "Magic Book", and frowned slightly.
One of the makers of Hogwarts' Marauder's Map, "Moonface", is in the castle.
But Elena has not yet figured out how to contact and absorb Professor Lupin.
And if nothing else, the Marauder's Map involved quite a few "unexpected magical elements".
After all, the more she learns magic, the more Elena understands how difficult it is to achieve name magic and real-time location magic.
Not to mention, the Marauder's Map can even display ghosts and even the name of the wizard under the invisibility cloak - and it can also reveal the real name - if this ability can be promoted on a large scale, perhaps "Ah No. Dumbledore" would have been He was sent back to a certain prison to continue his retirement.
"Surveillance map? Is it similar to the one on the Hyperion? That's good news-"
Hermione nodded thoughtfully, "But if it hasn't been implemented yet, then it actually has a few more bonus points than others."
"No, there is one very important difference -"
"I just said that this is a 'magic book'."
Elena raised her finger, shook it meaningfully from side to side, and said unhurriedly.
"With the help of Nico Flamel, each of you has two special pages in your manual. They can record and store a regular spell you have cast, and then release it directly when needed... The kind that doesn’t require spells or wands.”
"The storage time of the 'Charmed Pages' is temporarily forty-eight hours."
"Of course, compared to the term 'enchanted page', I prefer to call it -"
Elena gently turned over her own "magic book", glanced at the magic spells in the pages, and said softly.
"...spell slot."
