Hogwarts starts with stealing power.

Ron thought of the business plan Lin Xia had told him before and was somewhat tempted.

He felt that he was much more reliable in business than his twin brother, at least the medicines he distributed were genuinely helpful to the students.

Stimulated by the professor and various rumors, Lin Xia clearly noticed that the students at the school had developed a great interest in the knowledge-based puzzle games.

From what she saw, almost everyone signed up.

The school responded quickly to the students' expectations.

The registration period was originally scheduled to last a week, but due to the overwhelming enthusiasm of the students, it only lasted three days before the professors closed the registration portal.

Then, just one day later, 1000 students were selected to participate in the internal testing.

Many students with poor grades sign up just to try their luck, without thinking they will be selected.

After all, in school, the treatment of poor students and good students is quite different.

In particular, the Hogwarts elite students are not the kind of bookworms who only know how to study; they are all prominent figures in the school.

To the surprise of those underachieving students, they were also selected and boasted about it everywhere!

"I never expected to be selected. One of my roommates, who gets much better grades than me, didn't get selected. He always gets A's on his exams, and yesterday he actually told me he envied me!"

Besides those with poor grades, many students with mediocre grades were also selected.

These students were unremarkable at school, neither outstanding nor making any mistakes.

Being suddenly selected this time allowed them to experience a long-awaited moment of glory, being looked at with envy by everyone.

Surprisingly, the school did not allocate any of the 1000 internal testing slots to high-achieving students, including the school's top students.

However, top students wouldn't care about these spots anyway.

After all, they participated in the closed beta test, and the school promised to give them the alchemy glasses they used during the test, but they can't do that now.

Truly outstanding students go directly through the internal testing channel, while the 1000 public access slots are reserved for average and poor students.

To some extent, this is also a kind of balance.

As for those gifted students who didn't get one of the 1000 spots, it's simply because they weren't good enough.

Once the list of all testers was finalized, the school acted swiftly.

Just two days later, all the testers were gathered in the auditorium for a unified test.

This test was simply to familiarize them with how to use the alchemy glasses and how to play the knowledge-based puzzle game.

Although the alchemy glasses and the knowledge-based puzzle games are meant to be used together, average students don't adapt as well as high-achieving students.

Often, one must first adapt to the dizziness and weightlessness brought on by the alchemy glasses before one can further explore the learning methods of the knowledge-based puzzle games.

Additionally, when exiting the mini-game, that is, when escaping from the alchemy glasses, there is an even more intense dizziness, a process that can be very uncomfortable for many ordinary wizards.

Furthermore, alchemical glasses are extremely expensive, and it's impossible for them to distribute them to students without any evaluation; even outstanding students didn't receive them.

This disappointed the students who had been enthusiastically participating in the test. They grumbled that the school didn't trust them and should have just given them the alchemy manual to take back to their dormitories, promising that it would never be sold to anyone else.

While these lucky students went to the auditorium to take the test, many other students stood in the corridor outside the auditorium, looking enviously at the closed door and exchanging information with each other.

Yes, this time the rumors are spreading even more widely.

Not only the Weasley twins released the news, but some outstanding students who participated in the closed beta also released the news.

With the students who spread the rumors adding their own embellishments, these gossips became increasingly bizarre and outrageous.

Every little wizard is enthusiastic about spreading the word.

Because the corridors were filled with people discussing the topic, they became very crowded, and the professor had to come out to maintain order.

They sent the energetic young wizards to the Quidditch arena so they could have a party and discuss the trivia puzzle games.

As for Lin Xia and other outstanding students who were leisurely watching the show on the sidelines, they were also summoned by the deans of various colleges to the Quidditch arena to maintain order.

At the same time, you can also talk about some knowledge-based puzzle games to prevent the rumors from becoming more and more outrageous.

Outrageous rumors have even circulated, such as that the Ravenclaw crown can be obtained by completing all the mini-games left by the founder.

If Ravenclaw's crown were located within Hogwarts School, there would be no need for students to explore it; the professors would have used it long ago.

Lin Xia and the others did not go to the corridor, so at first they just watched the young wizards excitedly discussing from outside, but did not pay attention to the content of their discussion.

Once they arrived at the Quidditch arena to maintain order, they discovered that the young wizards' discussions were all like this—

"Once you complete all the knowledge-based puzzle games, you will obtain the valuable treasures left behind by Slytherin."

It can even open the true Chamber of Secrets in Slytherin, release the legendary Patronus, and cleanse the school of all the Mudbloods he despises!

The Slytherin students said with certainty.

"Through this game, we can gain supreme wisdom; knowledge is wealth!"
"And if I could possess the Ravenclaw crown, I would become the smartest person in the world, studying the mysteries of life and death, and even be able to rival Dumbledore, or surpass him!"

The Ravenclaw students said with certainty.

"By completing this game, I will become the most hardworking person in the world, constantly saving the poor and backward world, and I will also be able to obtain the Hufflepuff Cup!"

From then on, there will be no more diseases in the world, and everyone can improve their physical condition through the Golden Cup.

Food placed in the Golden Cup will never spoil, so the wizarding world will no longer have to worry about food shortages; the Golden Cup will provide an endless supply!

As for the students of Gryffindor.

Everyone knows that Harry took the Gryffindor sword from the Sorting Hat, but that doesn't mean that Harry now owns the sword.

Every Gryffindor student is adventurous and determined, and they do not believe they are inferior to Harry.

If given a chance, they too can defeat evil gods, defeat Voldemort, and save the world, just like Harry!
"If I can succeed in this game, I will become the bravest person in the world, defeat one evil king after another, and permanently possess the sword of Gryffindor, inheriting the spirit of Gryffindor."

My spirit will live on forever; even a casual thought I leave behind can save nations from dire straits. I am the bravest, strongest, and greatest person in the world!

Lin Xia: ... Ever since she learned about the little wizards' discussion, she could only say that they really dared to think so big, even she wouldn't dare to think so big.

Draco whispered, "No wonder the professor insisted on calling us over to maintain order and to clarify the rumors."

If this keeps spreading, even Hogwarts might not be able to contain its support for this level-based puzzle game. It's getting more and more outrageous!

With the pen tip and surpassing Dumbledore already out, is the next step to become Merlin and the new god of magic?
Lin Xia had no choice but to point her wand at her throat and use "Loud Voice" to explain to the curious little wizards what the knowledge puzzle game was.

Other outstanding students had tried to do this before, but the young wizards ignored them completely. But when Lin Xia did it, the young wizards believed her.

After all, Lin Xia is the main creator of this game, and everyone knows that the inspiration for this game came from Lin Xia.

As the founder, she has the right to speak.

Lin Xia emphasized: "This is just a simple little game designed to help with learning; there is no concept of completing levels."

The school offers courses from grades one to seven. If we're talking about passing all the levels, you'll officially pass them when you graduate from school.

I hope that you can all pursue jobs you love after graduation, and now, I hope even more that you can explore more possibilities through this software.

Many people lack direction for their future. Through knowledge-based quiz games, you can explore more knowledge and perhaps discover something you love that you can dedicate your life to.

Lin Xia didn't say how powerful the software was. Whether it's powerful or not, thousands of testers will evaluate it in the future.

But she was certain that this software would definitely give many confused young wizards another possibility.

At the same time, it also allows many ambitious people to explore more possibilities.

The thirst for knowledge is also a form of ambition.

Not long after Lin Xia gave her speech, Sprout approached her again, and the professor told her to go to the auditorium immediately.

Dean Sprout touched his forehead, looking somewhat anxious.

"It seems there's been some trouble in the Great Hall. The young wizards are having a serious problem with the alchemy glasses. Some of them have gotten used to the dizziness caused by the glasses, but they're experiencing a bit of mental detachment when they enter the knowledge puzzle game."

Go check if any of the little wizards are unable to enter the knowledge-based puzzle game because they are incompatible with it.

The school borrowed Lin Xia's inspiration to improve the game, but Lin Xia's original inspiration came from the desk.

The desks don't require any mental interaction. They called someone over to see if these young wizards, who weren't used to mental interaction, could be assisted in their learning by entering through the desks.
Lin Xia was also a little surprised when she heard Professor Sprout's words.

Although some of the top students experienced difficulties during the test, the problems were relatively few, so everyone got to experience it.

At that time, she had thought that ordinary little wizards might not be able to adapt to the dizziness caused by the alchemical glasses.

I never expected you to hit the nail on the head!
The situation was worse than she had imagined.

If it weren't for the seriousness of the situation, the school wouldn't have asked her to make the trip.

Lin Xia rushed to the auditorium and heard a chorus of wails as soon as she opened the door.

Even Madam Pomley was invited over, and a long queue formed in front of her, with many young wizards looking dejected as they received their treatment, holding their heads in their hands.

Mrs. Pang Lei was in a real bind.

"Dizziness, dizziness, dizziness again! I knew mental interaction wasn't that simple!"

"Aside from dizziness, are there any other symptoms?"

"Simply taking anti-dizziness medication did not alleviate their dizziness symptoms. This dizziness is caused by mental fatigue. They need to take medication to clear their mental impurities and relieve the side effects of dizziness."

While examining the young wizard, Ms. Pang Lei hurriedly spoke to Professor McGonagall beside her.

The professor's expression was somewhat serious.

Mental potions are strictly controlled throughout the wizarding world. Even though Hogwarts has many potions masters, it is impossible to produce many bottles in a year.

It is important to know that psychotropic drugs can also alleviate the condition of wizards infected by the whispers of evil gods, preventing it from worsening so quickly and delaying the infection.

"Isn't there any other way?" McGonagall asked in a deep voice.

Mrs. Pang Lei said, "They experienced dizziness because their spirits entered the alchemical glasses and interacted with each other, but their spiritual strength was too weak to bear this interaction."

There's an even simpler way: avoid wearing the alchemist's glasses. The dizziness should subside in just three days. However, a complete cure will take about two weeks.

Mrs. Pomley sighed: "McGee, this is the only solution I can think of."

Another approach is to develop and refine a special soothing remedy specifically for their condition, but that's not very realistic.

The development of each psychotropic drug takes time; how could one possibly be perfect at matching their specific symptoms?
Furthermore, as you know, mental health potions are extremely expensive, regardless of the type of treatment. Those primarily related to mental health are prohibitively costly, and young wizards simply cannot afford such medical expenses.

"Professor," Lin Xia interjected after listening for a while, "Is there anything I can help with?"

McGonagall snapped out of her daze and said, "Yes, you've come at the right time. Take a look at these dizzy little wizards. Their mental strength is too weak to support the Alchemy Glasses. Can you achieve interaction on the desks using your original idea?"

Lin Xia glanced around symbolically before saying, "The interactive games on the desks don't require any mental or physical effort, so even a small child could play them. These students can definitely learn through desks."

"only--"

She paused for a moment, then said with some regret, "Professor, the Alchemy Glasses are a great invention. Through the implantation of mental interaction, they allow people to experience the charm of the virtual world in an immersive way."

With the Alchemist Glasses as a precedent, the desk-based interaction method seems overly simplistic. It's easy to see that the Alchemist Glasses would provide far greater motivation for learning, while the desk-based interaction method might be less effective.

"Although the effect is so-so, it still has some effect, doesn't it?"

There are many forms of learning, and we cannot determine which one is better for students, as everyone's level of acceptance is different.

"But as a simple learning method, desk-based interactive learning might be more suitable for the wizarding world," Professor McGonagall murmured.

Lin Xia looked around and saw that too many students were having trouble adjusting to the alchemy glasses.

Almost all struggling students were unable to accept this new model, while most average students could accept it, but a small number could not.

Lin Xia asked, "Professor, is there no way for wizards to improve their mental strength?"

“Yes,” McGonagall answered confidently, “There are some rare potions that can directly enhance a wizard’s mental power, but those potions are very precious and inaccessible to ordinary people.” (End of Chapter)
