Chapter 103 Looking for Trouble

Although Lu Yunkai was very busy in the first two days of summer vacation, he soon became idle.

Erin Hill quickly accepted Lu Yunkai's invitation and took on the job of working three days a week in Lu Yunkai's herb garden, three days in Zabini Magic Item Shop in Diagon Alley, and one day off.

A monthly salary of 3,800 gold galleons plus a 200 gold galleon attendance bonus was several times higher than her current monthly income of less than 500 gold galleons. She seemed to have no reason to refuse.

Because Mrs. Zabini's price was very high, she had a good time with the girl who was eager to change to a reliable job and forced her to sign a lot of magic confidentiality agreements.

However, considering that she had worked at the Horror Journey for two years, it would take some time to resign even if she wanted to. In addition, Lu Yunkai had been living at home recently. I always felt that it would be a bit strange if Erin went in and out of the house, so she agreed to her arrangement to wait until September to officially start work.

As for Daphne, Lu Yunkai only went there for two days in a row, and found that the two of them didn't seem to have much to do except sitting together and being in a daze. Daphne thought that the archaeological identification spells her father prepared for them, which were enough for them to study for a summer vacation, had been abandoned by Lu Yunkai because he couldn't figure out what was so rare about the wood carving.

So Daphne also said that Lu Yunkai didn't seem to need to go to her every day to play, as long as he went over to have dinner together every day.

Lu Yunkai naturally wouldn't refuse this: Although Shirley worked very efficiently and kept the house in order, her cooking skills were really... hard to describe.

In comparison, the cooking skills of the Greengrass family's house elves were great.

It was just two handfuls of Floo powder, and he could afford to "transfer" from his home to the Leaky Cauldron to Greengrass's home.

And after dinner every day, Lu Yunkai can also tell Daphne, his sister who will finally go to Hogwarts this year, about all kinds of things in school, such as mountain monsters, forbidden forests, chambers of secrets, basilisks... Astoria, who was originally full of expectations for school, now thinks that Hogwarts is actually another way of spelling a den of dragons and tigers.

Ahem.

In this way, Lu Yunkai's summer vacation switched to a rhythm that made him a little nervous.

Just when he felt that he had enough to spend his life with the gold galleons in his hand and didn't want to struggle anymore, Chris, who immediately chose an empty room to live in after visiting his friends in Knockturn Alley (Chris said it "only" ran for less than two hours) and returned to the new house, sounded his alarm.

"It is because the magic world is full of people with your ideas that Voldemort can do whatever he wants!"

Hearing that headache-inducing name, Lu Yunkai's idea of ​​eating and waiting to die disappeared at once.

Waiting to die is a natural death, but if you are killed by a killing curse, it would be a loss.

But the cat that disturbed Lu Yunkai's leisure and leisure didn't know how to catch Voldemort. It just kept persuading Lu Yunkai to learn more and be prepared while he had time, otherwise he would be dumbfounded when he needed it.

Chris's words were right, but Lu Yunkai really didn't know what he could study.

If he really wanted to study with the banned book list given to him by Madam Pince, Chris might kill him before Voldemort could make a move.

After experiencing the "rapid progress" in the second grade, Lu Yunkai has understood that it is easier to make progress by studying and supplementing knowledge for a certain purpose than by learning whatever the teacher teaches without any purpose.

Well, there is a more professional term, this thing is called a topic.

Last year's topic was notebooks and basilisks, and now Lu Yunkai feels that although it is not bad to take wood carving identification or herbal planting as a topic, it is not what he is particularly interested in.

At this time, another person who was not used to having "leisure time" and lived a very fulfilling life every day reminded him...

After Hermione proved that she could write to Lu Yunkai by forwarding him a letter, she basically wrote him a letter every two or three days. In addition to various exchanges about learning magic, the content of the letter occasionally mentioned some gossip. One day, she accidentally mentioned in the letter that her home had a landline phone installed, and then suggested that Lu Yunkai could install one if he had a house in the future.

"Muggle things are still very useful."

Hermione felt that Lu Yunkai, like herself, was born in Muggles, and should not be like Ron, who came from a wizard family and sneered at these things...

Well, in fact, Ron would not. The privately modified car that almost caused his father to be expelled from the Ministry of Magic last year showed that the Weasley family still had a positive attitude towards Muggle things.

However, Hermione did not know that although Lu Yunkai now had a house and had no objection to installing a phone at home, he had no way to do so.

If this house wants to connect a landline, it needs to use a spell to control the Muggles to lay a very long dedicated telephone line, and then use the forgetfulness spell...

It is estimated that when he finishes this set of things, the people from the Ministry of Magic will be waiting at his house, and he doesn't have to go back to Hogwarts.

Landline is not allowed, but something that was sealed in Lu Yunkai's memory came to mind: mobile phone.

To be honest, most of the things from the Muggle world in his previous life were forgotten when he first came to this body. The only thing Lu Yunkai still remembered and missed was probably the mobile phone that he would always think of every time he wanted to write a letter with an owl...

This is why Lu Yunkai always disliked writing letters with an owl.

And Lu Yunkai felt that this thing was much easier to achieve in the magic world than in the Muggle world.

But Lu Yunkai had searched in the system before, and there was no such thing at all, otherwise he would not have insisted on communicating with Mrs. Zabini through the item transmission cabinet.

But just because it is not sold in the system does not mean that Lu Yunkai cannot make it!

And considering the previous experience of the powerful anti-curse potion, Lu Yunkai successfully made a thing and let the system identify it. The system can immediately sell it in unlimited quantities. This makes Lu Yunkai very ambitious to make a mobile phone belonging to the magic world.

As long as one is successfully made, Zabini Magic Item Store can sell mobile phones directly!

When he thought of this, he was passionate.

However, before he even looked up the information, Chris poured cold water on him.

It told Lu Yunkai that it had heard of a mirror that could communicate with each other. Not only could it talk, but it could also see the other person's face. It was much better than Lu Yunkai's idea of ​​only being able to send text...

This immediately opened up Lu Yunkai's mind: Isn't this a video call? ?

Why would you write a letter when you have this kind of thing! ?

Then he immediately searched the system and found the thing called "Twin Mirror" from a bunch of unrelated items.

It wasn't very expensive, one thousand gold galleons per set...

Well, for Lu Yunkai now, it was really not expensive.

After buying a set and studying it for a while, he found that such "twin" things were not difficult to make with magic, and there were even "triplets" and "quadruplets" mirrors for sale in the system...

But these mirrors must be set up with the objects that can communicate when they are "ex-factory". If you want more mirrors to be added later, sorry, it's impossible.

This is of course different from what Lu Yunkai thought. What he needs is a mirror that can add and delete contacts at any time, a mirror that can video chat with all friends, and can also talk to a friend alone...

After finding a topic of interest, Lu Yunkai immediately devoted himself to the study of spells and magic item making with passion.

After experiencing the baptism of reading books for several months last year, which was not as fruitful as chatting in the Leaky Cauldron for two days, Lu Yunkai also abandoned the idea of ​​working behind closed doors.

Go to Diagon Alley and Knockturn Alley to ask first.

And the facts once again proved that Lu Yunkai's decision was extremely correct: on the first day of soaking in the Leaky Cauldron, a drunk old wizard boasted to Lu Yunkai that he knew a spell that could make the words he wanted appear on the parchment he cast a spell on at any time.

Of course, the old wizard was a little bit timid about the spells he knew and refused to tell Lu Yunkai, but this was not a problem for Lu Yunkai.

Parchment that can transmit text, right? After searching the system for a whole morning, Lu Yunkai finally found it.

Of course, he didn't want to buy this kind of parchment from the system. He wanted to check the item introduction in the system that he always complained about as "too detailed and verbose".

As expected by Lu Yunkai, just like the necklace that Mrs. Zabini sold to Malfoy's mother was stated in the introduction as "casting a powerful anti-aging spell", the introduction of this parchment clearly stated that three spells were cast on it.

After that, Lu Yunkai used these three spells as keywords and searched in the system to find magic items involving these three spells. He looked at their approximate functions and confirmed that two of the spells were a revelation spell that kept the text clear and lasting, and a spell that strengthened the magic circle to ensure that it would not fail due to wear and tear on fragile items. The remaining one was naturally a useful spell.

Then he looked up the relevant information about this spell in the book...

Magic research is actually quite fun.

However, Lu Yunkai did not realize that in the magic world where magic research is mostly self-respecting, it is much more difficult for him to figure out how much magic is used in the magic items for sale than to make the items and use magic itself.

No magic item maker will let anyone other than himself know what magic is used on this item, or what magic array is involved...

Only Lu Yunkai can use the "detailed and verbose" system instructions to obtain this information that is far more valuable than the magic items themselves, so as to conduct similar research.

In this way, more than half a month passed in a blink of an eye, and Lu Yunkai finally made the first batch of "prototypes".

Five mirrors cut according to the more suitable size in Lu Yunkai's memory, with polished edges, not cutting hands, and convenient to hold.

Although it is a mirror, it does not support video and calls, and can only communicate by handwriting. Compared with the "quintuplets" mirrors that can be sold directly in the system, it is not a little bit worse, but the magic used in these mirrors is completely different from the ones sold in the system.

This makes Lu Yunkai very excited.

Because he remembered a spell he used very often: take off into the air.

Lu Yunkai did not find this spell in the thickest magic encyclopedia, so he believed that this spell might be "discovered" by Voldemort himself.

Similarly, in the dungeon before, Lu Yunkai saw Snape use a spell that was invisible magic. Afterwards, he thought that the spell seemed very powerful and wanted to find out where it came from, but he couldn't find it...

Although Lu Yunkai is still a little short of Voldemort developing his own spell, at least he can use completely different logic to achieve the same effect.

And this logic has more possibilities!

What he has to do now is to test whether this set of things is stable and reliable.

As for the test method, he has already thought of it.
