Hogwarts: This Dark Lord is so evil.

Chapter 99 Tom: As long as I can become stronger, it doesn’t matter if I become bald or lose my nose!
"This... is really something you improved?" Professor Slughorn asked in surprise.

"Yes." Li Weide nodded.

Li Weide believes that this formula has definitely not yet been invented and will probably be improved in the future.

Otherwise, Professor Slughorn should have mentioned the current formula earlier.

You know, "The Complete Guide to Elementary Alchemy Recipes" even records the recipes of potions that will appear in the future.

These 5000 merit points are well worth spending.

Of course, even if the formula has appeared now, Li Weide is not worried.

The formula I improved myself is surprisingly the same as the existing secret formula. Does the difference reflect my ability?
After all, in Professor Slughorn's eyes, Levitra did not meet the conditions for plagiarism at all.

Li Weide has been in school all the time. How could he copy the core secrets of other people’s stores?
At this time, Professor Slughorn was already shocked. "How long have you been learning potions... and you can already improve the formula..."

No wonder Professor Slughorn was so shocked. In order to improve the formula, in addition to having a deep understanding of the basic principles of potions, one must also have a deep understanding of the medicinal properties of potion materials such as herbology!
But Li Weide, does he understand all this now?

Li Weide said: "My memory is pretty good. I can basically remember the books I've read..."

Tom sighed and said, "I can prove this... This guy read books at Flourish and Blotts, but he didn't buy any. I asked him about it at the time. But... after he went back, he just copied out all the books with a quick-writing feather pen..."

Thinking about it now, Tom felt a little sorry for the gold Galleons he had spent on the book flowers...

Hearing this, everyone looked at Li Weide in shock.

Is this guy still a human? No wonder he is so strong...

"That's not surprising... That's not surprising..."

Because there were so many shocking things about Levid, Professor Slughorn is now a little numb.

With such a memory, coupled with Levid's understanding of alchemy, it is not surprising that he can improve potions.

"So, Wade's improved formula is really effective?" Annie asked expectantly.

"In my opinion, there is absolutely no problem!" Professor Slughorn said happily, "Of course, the actual efficacy of the medicine can only be confirmed by brewing it according to the recipe. If it is really feasible, Vader's recipe can at least save more than 2 gold Galleons in cost while maintaining the effect of the potion! Don't underestimate these 2 gold Galleons!"

Li Weide also said happily: "If this magic potion is effective, then our club funds..."

"Of course there is no problem! In fact, Wade... you may become rich soon!" said Professor Slughorn with a smile.

"It's not that exaggerated... I just want to earn some funds for the club." Li Weide said reservedly.

"Haha, don't underestimate the spending power of witches, Vader. The product produced according to your formula can be sold at least 2 gold galleons lower than the same potion on the market!"

"But...what if no one dares to buy it because of the low price?" Li Weide asked tentatively.

"Haha, don't worry, I'm here!" Professor Slughorn said proudly, "As long as your formula is real and effective, then... as long as I show up, people will naturally believe in the effectiveness of this potion!"

Professor Slughorn was of course proud, because at this moment, the connections and good reputation he had accumulated over a long period of time came in handy!

Of course, this is also the reason why Levid gave the formula to Professor Slughorn!
With him around, Levitra's new potion won't need to spend too much time adapting to the market!

"This... hasn't been tested yet. What if the effect is not good..." Li Weide said modestly.

"I believe in my vision, Wade! Otherwise, I'll do it now! Anyway, it doesn't take too much time to brew this potion!" Professor Slughorn said enthusiastically.

"By the way, don't leave at noon. Eat lunch here. You don't have classes on Monday afternoon anyway, right?"

Charlie stood up and said, "Then I'll go bring lunch to everyone."

"Ah, good boy, that's not necessary. Just tell the house-elves in the castle." Professor Slughorn smiled. "Um...are there any elves here?"

As Professor Slughorn spoke, a house-elf appeared in front of everyone.

When the elf saw so many people in the office, it seemed at a loss for a moment.

"Please send some lunch to my office. They will need to eat here," said Professor Slughorn.

"Yes..." the elf responded with a trembling voice, and then disappeared with a snap.

In Charlie's opinion, if the elf stayed a little longer, he might be frightened to death.

"Don't worry about it. They don't really like to be in front of people. It's best for elves not to be seen by wizards while they are working."

Professor Slughorn said, then turned around and began to prepare the crucible and materials.

Levitra was not idle either. He stepped forward and began to help Professor Slughorn process the materials.

As for the others...since they were not familiar with the recipe, they could not help at all and could only eat first.

Because at this moment, there were several more portions of food on Professor Slughorn's table...

I have to say, house-elves are very efficient at their work.

The preparation of this beauty potion is actually not complicated. By the time they were full, Professor Slughorn and Levitra had already prepared the potion.

"Okay, let me try," said Professor Slughorn, rubbing his hands.

"Teacher, let me do it." Li Weide said quickly.

Drug testing is risky, so Li Weide certainly can't let his teacher do it carelessly.

"Professor! Let me do it! This kind of potion is most suitable for girls to try!" Grace ran over and took the bottle of white potion from Professor Slughorn.

"Uh……"

Grace's enthusiasm surprised both Levitra and Professor Slughorn. "Apply externally or internally?" Grace stared at Levitra and asked.

"Uh... this is an ointment, just apply it externally." Levid said, casting a cooling spell on the bottle of potion.

Grace reached out to test the temperature of the potion, then used her fingers to dip a little ointment and applied it evenly on her face.

Tom couldn't help but sneer when he saw Grace's eager look, "Oh, woman..."

"What's wrong with being a woman? It's a girl's nature to love beauty!" Anne glared at Tom unhappily.

Tom was still a little unconvinced, but before he could say anything, he was interrupted by Li Weide.

"Tom...be polite when speaking to your breadwinners."

That’s right! If this potion is effective, then all the witches who might use this beauty potion will be their breadwinners!

"Okay..." Tom spread his hands to show that he admitted defeat.

"It works!" Grace's surprised voice came at this time, "My annoying freckles are gone!"

Everyone looked at Grace.

At this time, Grace was holding a small mirror and was very surprised.

Sure enough, the freckles that were originally on her face had completely disappeared.

Compared to before, Grace at this moment seemed to have turned on the beauty filter!
"Let me see..." Professor Slughorn came over and gently touched Grace's face with his hand, checking for any side effects.

"Hmm... the effect is unexpectedly good, Vader!" Professor Slughorn said happily. "It's even better than the ones on the market! This way, I'm more confident!"

Everyone was very happy that the club’s funding had been secured.

Li Weide was even happier. How much money would the club need?
After deducting the funds needed, the rest will all go into his pocket!

In this way, he would have enough money to rebuild the laboratory in the Somleno family's wizard tower.

If you want to figure out how to break through the limits of wizards, you will need a huge amount of experimental funds!
"Let me try it too!" Annie couldn't help herself and walked over.

Grace handed over the potion in her hand.

"The effect is so good! What's rare is that it has a light fragrance! It's much better than the one my mother uses. The one she uses doesn't smell good at all," Grace said excitedly.

"As long as you like it. Very good." Li Weide said happily.

"So, how many gold galleons do you plan to sell per bottle?" Grace asked nervously.

"If you need it, I can provide it to you at any time." Li Weide said with a smile.

"Really?!"

"Of course, as a core member of the society, you have to have some benefits."

"That's great! If you can use this ointment as a prize, it will definitely attract other girls in the school to join!"

"Of course, why not just make a happy decision?"

Tom watched coldly from the side. Although the club's funding might depend on this thing, he still didn't quite understand. Is appearance really that important?
In his opinion, powerful strength is the most important thing!
If I could gain great power... even if I lost all my hair, or even my nose, what would that matter? Who dares to say I'm ugly?
……

After leaving Professor Slughorn's office, everyone dispersed according to their division of labor.

Li Wei and Tom need to go to the club's newly applied classroom to decorate it.

On the way, Tom looked around to see if there was anyone around, then he whispered, "I finally understand why you refused Professor Slughorn's funding."

"Oh? Why?" Li Weide asked with interest.

"You want to use Professor Slughorn's connections to help you make money in the shortest possible time!" Tom said excitedly.

Although he didn't quite understand why others cared too much about their appearance, he had no objection to being able to make money.

Li Weide smiled and said, "Tom, you have indeed made progress."

Tom suddenly seemed to remember something and asked in surprise, "Could it be that your approach to Professor Slughorn from the beginning was just to pave the way for what you are doing now?"

"Well... if we want to realize our ideals, we need some external help from the beginning... Professor Slughorn is very important to us."

Levid paused, then continued: "Professor Slughorn is important, but he is not the only helper... We need to be open-minded. We need to unite all the forces that can be united... Even if there are some people you look down on from the beginning..."

Tom followed Li Weide's gaze and saw an uneasy man standing at the door of the club classroom.

"Abraxas Malfoy? What is he doing here?" Tom asked confusedly.

Suddenly, Tom seemed to remember something, "He is also the unifying force you mentioned?"

"Why not? The influence of pure-blood families is still very large. If we can unite them, it will be very beneficial to us." Li Weide said with a smile.

"But, that's Malfoy...we just beat the shit out of him...how can we possibly unite him?"

"Have you forgotten, Tom? The list of informers came from his mouth... Now he is a traitor among those purebloods... Do you think he can still gain a foothold in that group? He can only join us."

Tom suddenly understood what was going on.

At this moment, after seeing Levid and Tom, Abraxas' body trembled for no reason, but he finally plucked up the courage to come over.

"Lee...can I...can I join your mutual aid society?"
