Hogwarts starts with stealing power.

Lin Xia thought for a moment and then asked, "Could we lower the barrier to entry for using the alchemy glasses, making them more accessible to a wider range of people?"

Professor McGonagall shook her head solemnly: "It's very difficult, extremely difficult."

To achieve a better experience, we must give them these alchemical glasses.

The glasses we gave to you outstanding students before weren't this kind; the ones we're giving you now are much easier to use.

Lin Xia: "Then let's lower the experience level and reduce the usage standards. We don't need to make all the puzzle games very high definition."

This is just an educational game, not some large-scale interactive software. There's no need to make it so sophisticated or set the barrier to entry too high.

McGonagall gave Lin Xia a deep look; she already understood the deeper meaning behind Lin Xia's words.

There are some things that everyone understands but doesn't say a word about.

Lin Xia guessed that McGonagall had indeed received some documents, but no one said it aloud.

The knowledge-based puzzle game is just a small step to test the waters. After large-scale testing confirms there are no issues, the Alchemy Glasses will integrate more mini-games.

It may be related to learning, or it may be purely for interactive entertainment.

In the Ministry of Magic's vision, these glasses could create a virtual world for the wizarding world, separate from the real world.

Every wizard can immerse themselves in another world simply by wearing glasses.

The knowledge gained in the virtual world is free from any interference from the ravings of evil gods.

Wizards can freely transmit various messages through the alchemical glasses. Of course, the Ministry of Magic also set up a security port on the alchemical glasses to listen to the messages transmitted by wizards.

If Death Eaters used the Alchemist's Eyes to send messages, they would be captured by the Ministry of Magic immediately.

But these were not their primary purposes in creating the alchemical eyeglasses.

The reason for going to great lengths to create the Alchemist Glasses was to connect the Ministries of Magic in each world, creating a signal network unique to their respective magical worlds.

At that time, all the closed and outdated knowledge from various places will burst forth and spread throughout all the Ministries of Magic.

When information exchange is incredibly smooth, if someone does something small in Italy, it will reach their British friends in just a few minutes, or even less, through the Alchemist's Eye. The wizarding world will definitely experience rapid development.

They call this development the "information explosion," which in turn liberates productive forces.

These are all just good ideas at the moment. Whether they can be fully realized depends on how popular the knowledge-based puzzle games become.

Lin Xia guessed what the Ministry of Magic wanted to do, because it wasn't hard to guess.

When she experienced the surreal yet real feeling brought about by the alchemical glasses, she guessed that the Ministry of Magic was about to do something big.

After all, it's only meant to be used as an aid in a learning game, so using the Alchemy Glasses would be a huge waste of its potential.

After a while, McGonagall looked away and said, "Let's finish making the knowledge puzzle game in the style of the desk first. Even if we want to modify the alchemy glasses, it won't be done in a short time. The other professors will need your help in this regard."

Lin Xia immediately agreed: "Okay, I'm available anytime."

She went to observe the dizzy young wizards and memorized all the physical sensations they described.

Then he personally tried out their alchemical glasses.

Compared to the one used by top students in the test, this one has indeed reduced the precision considerably, but the details are still very well done.

Perhaps it was because the details were too perfect that the young wizard's weak mental strength couldn't withstand it.

For a young wizard, the scene was too realistic, and the mental burden was too great.

Lin Xia raised an eyebrow, but if it's not made to be so realistic, and all the precision is reduced by a bit, some aspects can be made a little blurry, as long as it's still visible.

Even a junior wizard's mental strength should be able to give it a shot.

It's barely acceptable, but it's better than fainting on the spot, and it's also more immersive than studying at a desk.

This also has its drawbacks. The drawback is that it cannot be used for a very long time; it must be removed after one or two hours.

Lin Xia asked the students how they felt, took notes, and refined her ideas as she went.

About half an hour later, Professor Snape hurriedly walked in.

His gaze locked onto Lin Xia precisely. He walked to her side and said coldly, "Let me see the records you made."

Without turning her head, Lin Xia handed the notebook to Snape behind her.

Snape opened the notebook, glanced at it a few times, and then threw it back in front of Lin Xia.

However, he didn't go too far by throwing the notebook on the ground. Instead, he floated it in front of Lin Xia, who calmly reached out and took it.

Snape said directly, "If the medication for dizziness is not working, this must be a mentally induced dizziness, which is not easy to treat and requires the use of psychotropic drugs."

The school is currently experiencing a shortage of this medication, and it hasn't been restocked for quite some time.

Don't ask him why he knows so much; after all, he's a master at taking advantage of the school.

There isn’t a single professor at Hogwarts who doesn’t take advantage of the school.

Oh, except for Trelawney, who spends all her time freeloading food, drinks, and alcohol just for a few Galleons.

After all, they don't have a side hustle; if they did, it would be a disaster.

If it weren't for the lack of outstanding students willing to conduct experiments with him, he would have already set his sights on their vast potion bank.

By using the connections of high-achieving students, one can obtain what one desires.

Although professors certainly enjoy better resources than outstanding students, the amount of resources a professor can exchange each month is also limited.

Sometimes, it's actually the top students who can exchange for more things than the professors, but the materials they exchange for aren't the rarest ones.

However, he can also handle large quantities of materials.

It's better to take advantage of a bargain than not; even if you exchange it back and put it in his private vault, that's fine too.

Lin Xia thought for a moment and said, "Could we develop a specific type of psychotropic drug to target their symptoms?"

Snape didn't even flinch as he refused, saying, "Developing mental potions is extremely time-consuming, and everyone focuses on high-difficulty types. It's too extravagant to use mental potions for something as simple as dizziness."

Lin Xia insisted, "But the development of this kind of drug is also very convenient. Unlike other types that require a long research period, with the help of professionals, it can be developed very quickly."

Snape's words carried a hint of sarcasm.

"After all, it's just treating dizziness, what kind of technical skill is required?"

Seeing that Snape wasn't responding, Lin Xia took the initiative and asked, "Professor, are you interested in researching this?"

Snape refused without hesitation, "No, I have other work to do recently."

He glanced at Lin Xia and said expressionlessly, "If you're interested, you can study it."

Developing a specialized psychotropic drug to treat dizziness would be overkill; I would never waste my energy on trivial matters, but…

He suddenly changed the subject, "If they persist in promoting these alchemical glasses, I believe more and more mentally challenged fools will try to use them. At that time, the potions you develop will have a broad market, even though their technical content is very small, it won't stop many people from wanting to drink them."

Snape said slowly and deliberately, with his characteristic arrogant tone, "From this point of view, this little thing is not without research value."

Your little lab is perfect for tinkering with these little gadgets.

Lin Xia gave a helpless, bitter smile.

They had no experience in developing psychotropic drugs; if they were to actually develop one, they would have to start from scratch.

I asked the professor earlier to see if she could take over the task, since she has relevant experience.

If he's willing to set aside a little time, he can definitely complete the research within a month.

But if it were placed in her lab, without a bit of luck, it would probably take a whole year to make a living.

Lin Xia didn't say anything more.

Snape glanced up at her instead, and continued in a cold tone, "I never thought that Lin Xia, who seems to be all-powerful and has developed new wands and all kinds of powerful drugs, would have such a difficult time."

I thought you'd take on this immediately. What, even the field of psychotropic drugs has stumped you?

Lin Xia ignored the professor's sarcasm and nodded decisively.

"Indeed, I haven't conducted any experiments on mental drugs. After all, my mental strength is sufficient, and I don't need to improve or compensate for it at all."

Furthermore, I rarely allow myself to fall into a state of mental exhaustion, and I somewhat cannot understand how they could feel dizzy just from wearing glasses.

This is not a lie.

The more powerful a person is, the less likely they are to sympathize with the weak.

If a person who is truly capable did not rise from the ranks of the weak but was born exceptional, then it is very difficult for them to understand the hardships of those at the bottom.

Only those who have worked their way up from the bottom know how difficult each step is.

Snape said calmly, "It seems that our all-powerful Lin Xia is unaware that rune arrays can also train mental strength."

Those who are proficient in magic runes are all masters of mental power. They can easily learn brain-blocking techniques, but they can also easily invade other people's minds and use mind control techniques on them.

They can subtly reveal information people want to know, and they can also become masters in all fields of knowledge.

Rune arrays are not as simple as you think. Every wizard who can quickly master rune arrays represents immense potential.

Lin Xia paused for a moment, then asked with interest, "Can magic runes also enhance mental power?"

She was very interested in magic runes. One reason was that since absorbing the power of the magic stone, she had the elements constructed by magic runes within her body, which gave her a strong control over magic runes.

Another reason is that once the magic rune array reaches a certain level, it can freely construct magic runes to accomplish whatever it wants.

In this respect, spells are not as powerful as spell arrays.

The spell may seem simple, but each time it is used, it can only accomplish one predetermined and unchangeable fact.

However, the magic rune array can freely change during the generation of the magic spell.

Furthermore, if one wants to use some large-scale spells, one must have a great deal of magical power to support them.

For example, it can create sandstorms that can alter the weather, or quickly generate a building, or use transformation magic to unbelievably expand and reshape a small object...

These spells cannot be completed without the support of immense magical power.

But the magic rune array is different.

Each step is both independent and interconnected.

You can wait for your magic to regenerate automatically before proceeding to the next step, but it will take a relatively long time.

However, as long as you firmly grasp the key points of the magic rune array, you can spend three or four days constructing a fine magic rune array, during which time the wizard can slowly recover his magic power.

Use every possible step to accomplish the ultimate impossibility.

Moreover, the more familiar one is with magic, the more one will understand the limitations of modern spells, which are too fixed and formulaic.

While simple spells lower the difficulty of using magic, allowing many mediocre wizards to enrich their lives with magic, large-scale, high-difficulty spells cannot be precisely targeted with spells.

Previously, when Lin Xia was not familiar with rune arrays, she would use combination spells to complete them, such as when she set up a mobile washroom in the Quidditch arena.

But now that she's familiar with runes, she can build a mobile washroom all by herself, without the need for multiple wizards to work together.

"I thought that before teaching you about magic runes, Babling would give you a basic introduction to ancient magic runes."

Snape's words pulled Lin Xia back from her thoughts.

"Perhaps you should find someone else to be your teacher. Babling has been too harsh on you."

Lin Xia asked directly, "Do you have any suitable candidates to recommend?"

Snape choked on his words.

He really didn't have a suitable one; in the entire Hogwarts, only Babling taught the Old Runes course.

It's not that the school doesn't want to increase staff, but only Babuling is available; the other professors' ancient magic script levels are very basic.

Snape suddenly remembered something and said, "Dumbledore, he's also a powerful Ancient Rune user."

Lin Xia smiled faintly: "Professor, then please introduce me. Didn't you tell me to find someone else to be my teacher?"

Snape was unusually speechless at this point and remained silent during the subsequent questioning.

If he really recommended Lin Xia to Dumbledore, Barbling would probably hunt him down.

The wizards who are proficient in ancient magic script are all old guys, and no one knows how many trump cards they have up their sleeves.

By the time Lin Xia finished her work and came out of the auditorium, it was already 8 p.m.

There were very few wizards lingering in the corridors outside, and the young wizards in the Quidditch area had long been dispersed by the other professors.

They're probably back in their respective common lounges now, exchanging the latest rumors with their companions.

Lin Xia went straight back to the lab. As soon as she entered, everyone was in the lab's common lounge, discussing what they had seen and heard that afternoon.

"Some young wizards asked if they could become professors if they completed all the games."

I answered yes, but there's an additional prerequisite: you not only need to strive to pass all the courses, but also to learn each course to its best, while also expanding and unlocking other extracurricular knowledge.

Perhaps after graduation, the school will even hire you as a professor!

Ron said, adding, "Actually, I was just kidding him, but the key is that he believed me and kept thanking me, which made me wonder if I said something wrong."

Lin Xia's voice came through: "His wish is very simple, and your answer is also very simple, so it is highly credible."

As soon as everyone saw Lin Xia, they immediately asked, "Lin Xia, how's the situation at the auditorium?" (End of Chapter)
