Hogwarts: This Dark Lord is so evil.

Chapter 98 For me, trust is unnecessary
The mutual aid society had just been established and it attracted a lot of students to join.

As a result, the hundreds of forms prepared at the beginning were not enough, and Li Wei De had to use the copying spell to copy dozens more copies.

After all the forms were collected, Annie gave Li Weide a total.

There are more than 170 members joining the club today.

This was only the first day, and it happened to be a Sunday, so there were many senior students in Hogsmeade who had not received any news.

After returning to the dormitory, Tom was still surprised at the number of people who joined the club today.

“I didn’t expect so many people would come.”

"Don't worry too much, Tom. Many people here joined out of curiosity. After a few days, some people will leave because the novelty has worn off. At that time, only those who stay will be considered true members."

Tom snorted coldly, "Humph... This is their loss! When they regret it later and want to come in again, it won't be that easy!"

"Tom, this is wrong. We have to allow members to come and go freely...don't forget the original intention of establishing this club." Li Weide smiled.

Tom looked at Li Weide in astonishment, "What was your original intention?"

Isn't the original intention of establishing this club to find younger brothers? Are you really planning to set up a mutual aid association?
"Tom, you seem to be thinking about something that will affect unity..."

"No, absolutely not!" Tom said with a firm look.

"I know what you are thinking, Tom...but don't be impatient. What we have to do is not to force them to stay, but to make them join voluntarily and then be reluctant to leave. So, you have to run this club well. Only when everyone is on our side can there be further possibilities." Levitra said earnestly.

Tom nodded, but soon he realized his blind spot. "Wait, you said... me? Let me run this club?"

"Yes, of course it's you. I will give you some help in the early stage, but later on, it will depend on your ability." Li Weide said with a smile.

Although Voldemort went mad in his later years, his leadership ability was unquestionable during his student days.

Levid was sure that if it weren't for his existence, Tom would have already mixed with those pure-blood wizards and gradually established his leadership position.

"You... trust me so much?" Tom suddenly asked after a long silence.

In his opinion, it was a huge mistake for Li Weide to hand over the entire society to him!

Because in that case, he would have plenty of ways to sideline Li Weide and then make these members his own people!

Li Weide smiled and said, "So-called belief and trust have the same meaning. They are the actions of the weak. For me, trust is unnecessary."

Seeing Li Weide's meaningful eyes, Tom was shocked again.

He suddenly remembered the first time Li Weide took the blame for him. Li Weide actually had the ability to change people's cognition!
Obviously, he was the one who was primarily responsible for the incident! After all, it was Tom who beat the man!
But... Li Weide could actually make the other party change the main person responsible for the incident from himself to him!

Those purebloods who were beaten up by themselves finally unanimously concluded that the person who beat them up was not Tom, but Levi!
Thinking of this, Tom, who had been a little bit uncontrollable in his ambition, calmed down instantly.

If I really want to take over the club's position, maybe in the end, those club members' perception of the club leader will inexplicably become Levi's!
If that happens, I will be making things difficult for Li Weide!
Tom sighed, feeling helpless. Li Weide was right. With his abilities, he really didn't need to trust himself...

Given Li Weide's style of doing things in a foolproof manner, how could he not have thought that he might betray him?

After a long silence, Tom said in a muffled voice: "I know, I will manage it..."

Tom suppressed his rebellious thoughts.

If he didn't rebel, he could still be the second-in-command. If he rebelled... maybe he would lose everything!

"I know you will manage it. After all, you promised me before, didn't you? You will use your abilities for me..." Li Weide said gently.

Tom was silent for a while before asking again: "You leave the society to me... then what about you? What are you going to do?"

Li Weide hesitated for a moment before he said, "Tom, do you believe that there is a limit to the power of wizards?"

"There should be a limit, right?" Tom frowned. "I'm not sure..."

"Well, assuming that the wizard's ability has a limit... then, are the limits of every wizard the same?" Li Weide asked again.

Tom replied: "It shouldn't be the same, because everyone's aptitude is different... For example, some people are born stronger than others..."

"Well... if that's the case, does that mean that if your aptitude is not very good, no matter how hard you work, you will not be able to compare with people with better aptitude?" Li Weide asked again.

Tom realized what Livid was talking about. He said in confusion, "You want to find a way to break the wizard's limit? But... we are still young, aren't we? We are far from reaching the limit."

"Some things require early preparation... Don't forget what our intentions are. This is the reality. We don't have the power to crush everything, and we don't even have the qualifications to speak out." Li Weide said calmly.

Tom still couldn't understand it. Li Weide said that he should prepare early, so it was too early for him to start preparing now...

Li Wei De seemed to see through Tom's thoughts. "Breaking through the limit is never an easy thing. If it were easy, then there wouldn't be only two people like Dumbledore and Grindelwald in this world... Such research may take a long time..."

Tom's eyes sparkled with longing as he thought of Dumbledore and Grindelwald.

If only I could be as powerful as Dumbledore and the others...

"Then let's divide the work and cooperate!" Tom's eyes became firm, "You find a way to make us stronger, and I... will do my best to make our power even greater!"

"Well, in that case, you have to be careful. If you want to win people's hearts, you must never use intimidation against your own people." Li Weide reminded.

If he didn't remind him, maybe Tom would turn his mutual aid society into an organization like the Death Eaters...

An organization like the Death Eaters only comes together because of Voldemort's power and has no cohesion at all.

If anything happens to Voldemort, the entire organization will fall apart...

Therefore, Li Weide still has to take part in the formulation of the program.

……

After class at noon the next day.

Levitra took other core members of the mutual aid society to visit Professor Slughorn.

As the club's advisor, Professor Slughorn certainly had to participate in the formulation of the club's charter.

Geniuses are always attracted to each other. When Li Wei De appeared with these people.

Professor Slughorn's face broke into a smile.

These talented people have the ability to set up such a large student club in their first year. They are all talented!
The most important thing is that these children are still so young! The younger they are, the higher their talent!
He decided that when these children grew up a little, he would invite them to join his slug club!

"Everyone, sit down, don't be shy." Professor Slughorn said with a smile. Then he realized that there didn't seem to be that many chairs in his office.

Just when Professor Slughorn was feeling a little embarrassed, Levitra smiled and said, "Everyone please find a place to sit."

As Li Weide spoke, he grabbed a few candies from his pocket and threw them on the ground.

The next second, all the candies turned into exquisite armchairs!

Professor Slughorn opened his mouth wide. "Vade, what a beautiful Transfiguration! The last junior student I saw with such a high level of Transfiguration was Dumbledore when he was a student!"

Of course he was surprised, Li Weide was only in the first grade!
Even though he knew that Dumbledore seemed to have specifically guided Levitra before he entered school...

But it still feels unbelievable to him that he has reached such a level at this age.

If Levid hadn't conjured up the chair right in front of him, he would have thought he was facing an adult wizard!

Now, he finally understood why Dumbledore would train Levitra as his successor.

"Thank you for your praise, teacher. I am just showing off my skills in front of an expert..." Li Weide said modestly.

"Excessive modesty is pride, Wade! Just look at the expressions of your friends and you will know how brilliant your move was just now." Professor Slughorn said with emotion.

Li Weide turned his head and looked over, and saw that everyone except Tom had a look of usual concern.

Anne, Grace, Charlie and the others were all shocked...

"You must teach me this, Wade!" Grace was once again shocked by Li Wade's strength.

"Of course, if you need help in any aspect, you can come to me. As long as I can, I will help you." Li Weide said gently: "After all, this is the original intention of my establishment of this mutual aid society."

Professor Slughorn watched from the side with a satisfied smile on his face. He now liked this student more and more.

Be humble and polite, and never be arrogant!
After everyone sat down, Professor Slughorn brought each of them a dessert and tea.

"Regarding the club's charter, I think the simpler the better." Li Weide was the first to speak, "It's about the original intention of the club's establishment, helping each other and making progress together."

Everyone nodded when they heard this.

Tom said: "But there will be a problem with this, that is, people are always lazy. I think it is very likely that members will come to ask for help, but when they are needed to contribute, they are unwilling to do so."

Tom grew up in an orphanage and was accustomed to the bad nature of human beings. There are many people who are greedy for small gains, but very few who are willing to give for free.

"Tom, you are right. So, this is exactly what I am going to say next." Li Weide said: "However, I need your help on this point."

Slughorn was watching them discuss with a smile, and after hearing what Levitra said, he asked curiously, "How do you want me to help?"

Li Weide said methodically: "I think we can set up a reward system. For example, we can create a points list. After successfully helping a person and getting recognition from the person being helped, you can get a point. Then, according to the number of points, the names of the members will be written on it. Of course, this list can change at any time. The limit is one month. At the end of the month, rewards will be given to members according to the number of points."

Professor Slughorn said happily: "This is a good method. This way, members will be motivated to help others! Then I will arrange the prize!"

For a potion master like Professor Slughorn, he really has no shortage of money.

Therefore, providing prizes to Li Weide's club is not worth mentioning at all to him.

However, Li Weide shook his head and said, "Of course, you can arrange the type of prizes, but you can't pay for the money."

Professor Slughorn was slightly stunned and said, "Why not? I am your advisor, and it is appropriate for me to provide funding for the activities."

"If possible, we still want to rely on ourselves..." said Li Weide.

Professor Slughorn sighed. Although he didn't know why Levitra insisted on doing this, since the kid said so...

"So how are you going to raise funds for the club?" asked Professor Slughorn.

Tom and the others were also a little confused. The professor was obviously willing to provide funding, so why was Li Weide unwilling?
However, out of respect for Li Weide as the club leader, they decided to listen to Li Weide's ideas first.

"I have just improved a potion formula and would like to use it to exchange for some funds as club expenses. I don't know if there is a market for it yet. Teacher, can you help me take a look at it?"

Li Weide said, taking out a piece of parchment from his arms and handing it over.

"Your own improved potion formula?" Professor Slughorn's interest was instantly piqued.

Professor Slughorn took the recipe and glanced over it.

"Ah! It's the formula you asked me about before!" Professor Slughorn suddenly realized.

When Levitra was getting in touch with him before, he discussed many potion formulas with him, and this formula was told to Levitra by him before.

But now it seems that the formula has been changed a lot, and Professor Slughorn's expression became serious for a moment.

"What's the recipe?" Grace asked curiously.

"Well... it's about girls." Li Weide smiled. "The skin care potions used by witches on the market now are sold at a relatively high price due to the expensive materials. Therefore... I boldly improved it a bit, striving to save costs while not reducing the effect too much."

"Skin care potion?" The two girls at the scene were immediately interested.

"Well, but it hasn't been tested yet, so I don't know how effective it is. So, let's show it to the teacher to see if it works. If it does, we'll see if we can improve it."

At this time, Professor Slughorn was still looking at the improved formula.

In fact, Professor Slughorn didn't hold out much hope. After all, Levitra had only recently started learning potions, and it was impossible for him to improve the formula right away.

Professor Slughorn was ready to tell lies. If the potion improved by Levitra had no effect, he would say it was effective, or he would help Levitra improve it directly and then use the formula to help Levitra earn funds.

However, the more Professor Slughorn looked at the recipe, the more incredible it seemed to him.

Because he found that Li Weide's improved formula seemed to be actually feasible?

Levitra looked at Professor Slughorn's expression and knew that the matter was settled.

Levid was quite confident about this. After all, this was the recipe he took out from the "Basic Alchemy Recipe Collection".

It makes perfect sense that this book sells for 5000 merit points!
In this book, several different recipes are recorded for almost every potion.

The skin care potion that Professor Slughorn gave me before also has several different recipes recorded in this book!
The one that Li Weide took out can be said to be the most cost-effective one among them!
　The word "chairman" is a bit sensitive, so I was a little hesitant to use it. After thinking it over again and again, I decided to change it to something like "leader" of the club.
