Chapter 61 Good News and Bad News

There is no essential difference between the rats in the wizarding world and the Mammalia, Rodents, and Muridae rats that Zheng Qing has seen since childhood - they all have gray fur and long tails, and can dig holes, climb trees, and swim. , with strong vitality and extraordinary reproduction speed, they like to live in sewers, ditches, graves and other places - at best, the rats in the wizarding world are slightly larger, have a slightly higher IQ, and have stronger survivability.

This is what mice should do to survive in the wizarding world. After all, this is the world where wizards live, and other creatures wandering around the edges of the world must have stronger adaptability than their distant relatives, otherwise they would have been hunted down by other predators long ago.

After hearing the tasks assigned by Lao Yao, grief filled the classroom.

Especially the delicate witches, who did not hide the expressions of disgust on their faces - Zheng Qing had every reason to believe that the task assigned by the school to the students would definitely set off a stir in the underground black market among the students. There is a craze for buying and selling rats and other creatures.

Rich young wizards have always been willing to use silver horns and golden beans in exchange for precious time to complete more important things in their minds. Such as a magic experiment, a hunting match, the pursuit of a witch, etc.

Wizards who have no money can only exchange time for limited money to support their simple and boring learning career.

For some reason, when thinking of these transactions, the image of a strong, fat wizard immediately emerged in the mind of the young public-sponsored student. Zheng Qing remembered that Seprano and his Cheung Kei Association seemed to have been conducting similar transactions in the school. Although this is the case, this does not mean that Zheng Qing will go to Serprano to buy rats for cross-fertilization.

Because he transformed into a cat, he had some psychological resistance to catching mice, as if these mice were an important boundary between his human identity and his cat identity. If he was really happily catching mice, wouldn't it mean that he was still affected by the cat's spirit - especially since he had a situation during his recent transformation, and he was extremely sensitive to these details.

It’s true that the more you hate something, the more it comes to you.

The young public-sponsored student sighed secretly in his heart, and his expression turned extremely ugly.

In the past two weeks, he has been trying his best to avoid this work. Even if the school working committee issued certain material rewards, he was not moved. Fortunately now, Lao Yao directly linked this matter with the final assessment.

Even without raising his head, Zheng Qing could clearly feel the violent shrugs of Fatty Xin and Zhang Jixin sitting in the front row, as well as the silent ridicule.

Professor Yao on the podium seemed not to notice the resisting looks in the audience and concluded:

"So, we professors did not follow the Legion of the Wizards Alliance to attack a new world, nor did we quell the demon rebellion in the black prison, nor did we assist the 'relevant departments' to experiment with new forbidden spells... We have the ability to spread With these rumors, it’s better to seize the time and catch two more mice.”

There were a few faint laughs in the hall.

Zheng Qing knew that Lao Yao deliberately chose to hand over the task of catching mice before class. A large part of the reason was to explain to the young wizards in the hall the whereabouts of himself and other professors - especially this semester, all kinds of... Accidents occur frequently, making many people feel a little panicked. Recently, when the professors are away, there have been many similar rumors.

However, now that the explanation has been clearly explained, Lao Yao naturally got back to the topic:

"You have already understood your tasks! Then don't forget to take time to complete your tasks... Of course, this time naturally refers to your extracurricular time."

"Now, put away your Dharma books, open the "Standard Spells", and turn the textbook to the second section of Chapter 3. Starting from the class I was absent from, we will quickly go over the knowledge points... There were no knowledge points in the previous two classes. You guys who understand me well, please pay attention! I will only go through this once, you will not have another chance.”

…

…

With a tangled mood, Zheng Qing ended the first class of his fourteenth week of school.

There is simply no sure path, and success will always come to an end. Although he was assigned a terrible task, Lao Yao finally brought some good news.

For example, the final test report on the abnormality of Zheng Qing's transformation technique.

Since the abnormality in the transformation two weeks ago, Zheng Qing did not dare to try to transform into a cat again in the past two weeks, despite guarding seven or eight transformation potions. After all, magic is a rigorous skill, and most people who use magic in a daze will eventually lose their lives in a daze.

Zheng Qing felt that he should not be so stupid.

Two weeks ago, according to Lao Yao's request, after he handed over his transfiguration notes, the ampoule containing the transfiguration potion, and a well-sealed transfiguration potion to Professor Li, he followed a paper crane a week ago, I went to the school hospital for a new full-body test.

Then there is no more.

It was not until today, after the Charms class, that Old Yao stopped the young public-funded student and handed him the test report.

"The good news is that there is nothing wrong with the transformation potion you used, your transformation notes, and the complete tests you did at the school hospital... Your body is very healthy, except that the Nianzi force field is still a little active. , there are no other abnormalities.”

"What a pity," Zheng Qing muttered, with an expression of pity on his face: "I heard that Fitzer's company is very large... It would be great if it was really his medicine that had a problem."

Lao Yao raised his eyebrows, reached out and slapped Zheng Qing on the head: "You are a little guy who is not even a registered wizard, and you still want to ask Fitzer for compensation... It's ridiculous. I really think they have a lawyer hired by their company. Is the group free of charge?”

Zheng Qing touched the back of his head, smiled, and asked cautiously: "What about the bad news?"

Where there is good news, there will naturally be bad news.

That's how things always are in this world.

Lao Yao put the pipe into his mouth and replied vaguely: "The bad news is that the reason for your abnormal transformation has not been detected through existing technical means... This also means that my previous guess is not possible. The biggest.”

According to Professor Yao's previous speculation, Zheng Qing was still able to use magic power after his transformation because there was a 'trace of the forbidden curse' left by a certain shadow in his body - in this world, only the forbidden curse can By ignoring the existing magic rules and theorems, Mundell's Paradox can be subverted at will.

The young public-sponsored student couldn't help but think of the huge forces in the wizarding world who were eager for forbidden spells, and his mood, which had been lifted for a few minutes, immediately dropped again. And I'm even lower than before I got the good news.
