I'm in Hogwarts, what the hell is the Honghuang system?

Chapter 20: Master Rhine, have you heard of Pokémon?
After mustering up the determination to surpass the Elder Wand, Ollivander started working in the shop as if he had been injected with chicken blood.

He took back the several wands that he had handed to Rhine earlier, and then broke them all without even looking at them.

"It's just something to publish a wandology paper on. Ha, this thing can't surpass the Elder Wand. I know it very well."

“I have to really put my heart and soul into it, using the most mysterious materials and the most extreme combinations to unleash its ultimate power.”

"Just like the Elder Wand, the ominous elderwood shaft and the Thestral tail feather core, which represents death, create its ominousness and power..."

"But that's not enough."

"Well, yes, as I've long understood, Peverell must have incorporated techniques related to ancient magic into the making of the Elder Wand."

"I have to look for all the oldest wands in our Ollivander family's collection. Perhaps I can piece together the magical skills that make the Elder Wand so powerful. This is a huge project. Those wands have very strange temperaments. Fortunately, I have an assistant who can adapt to almost all wands."

"Aha, it seems that perhaps this is God's guidance, allowing me to surpass the Elder Wand in this era!"

Ollivander was completely into the state, muttering to himself constantly.

Rhine glanced at the system screen and saw that the connections in the column of the Weapon Refining Sect's leader were slowly changing.

The words "casual acquaintance" became a little lighter, while the words "close friends" became a little more solid than before.

A look of satisfaction appeared on his face.

Sure enough, working towards the same goal is very helpful in bringing people closer together.

Now our relationship will deepen much faster. Before school starts, we should be able to become close friends and obtain the Fire Control Talent.

"Very good, very energetic."

"Mr. Ollivander, then you should do your job well and contact me anytime if you need anything."

"I believe in you, you can do it."

Immediately afterwards, Rhine left Ollivander's Wand Shop and headed for his next destination - Warwick's Magical Creatures Shop.

Just like the last time I came here, it was still crowded and filled with all kinds of bad smells.

When he saw Rhine, Warwick also remembered this little wizard who could talk to magical creatures.

He waved happily.

"Rhine, I hope I remember your name correctly. I've been waiting for you for a while."

"You came at the right time. I have a big business waiting for you to join."

Warwick lowered his voice as he spoke.

"There's a shipment of fire crabs coming out of Fiji. These amazing creatures have jewels of all different colours on their shells and they can shoot flames out of their tails."

"These are pets favored by many upper-class wizards, but they are not easy to get along with. I can handle one or two of them, but if there are too many, I'm afraid they will burn down my shop."

"But since you're here, Rhine, you can appease them so they don't spit fire all the time. Once you sell them, I'll give you a large sum of gold Galleons!"

Looking at Warwick's excited expression, a strange look flashed across Rhine's eyes.

If this were a game, Warwick was issuing him a mission.

If you want to get closer to Warwick and become his best friend, that's very simple. Just complete enough commissions.

But unfortunately, just like in Ollivander's Wand Shop, Rhine didn't have enough time to look after the fire crabs.

Whoever wants to do it can do it when it comes to completing a commission.

Why not take a shortcut if you can?
Immediately, Rhine said softly.

"Mr. Warwick, is this the big business you were talking about?"

"That shouldn't be the case. I think you are a wizard who will achieve great things. You will definitely accomplish great things. Selling a few fire crabs is nothing to you."

"I see. You probably don't trust me enough to share your true plan, your grand business idea, right?"

Rhine's words made Warwick stunned.

"Ah?" He stared at Rhine blankly.

As a Hufflepuff graduate who ran a barely-surviving magical creatures shop in Diagon Alley, he had never heard such comments from anyone before.

Great achievements?

A huge achievement?

Does this really have anything to do with me?
How did Rhine know this?
It was as if Rhine had predicted his thoughts.

"Mr. Warwick, do you feel that you are mediocre and that what I say is not like you at all?"

Warwick nodded subconsciously, and then faced Rhine's fierce rebuttal.

"Wrong, absolutely wrong!"

"What era is it now? The 21st century... Uh, wait, it's not here yet. It's okay, we're about to enter the 21st century."

"What is the most important thing in the 21st century? Talent!"

"Especially those with compound talents spanning multiple fields!"

"Mr. Warwick, you are the most valuable talent of the coming century."

Immediately, Rhine and Warwick began counting on their fingers.

"Look, you're from Hufflepuff. What's Hufflepuff's signature major? Magizoology. This means you're a well-educated professional in the field of magical creatures. You have a legitimate background."

"Looking at your graduation experience, you've been engaged in magical creature breeding and working on the front lines. What does that mean? A professionally trained, practical talent, an all-round talent who combines theory with practice."

"Also, compared to those magical creature experts, you own a shop in Diagon Alley that has been running for many years, which shows that you have talent in business."

"No one who knows more about magical creatures than you does, but no one who knows more about business than you does. No one who knows more about business than you does, but no one who knows more about magical creatures than you does. You are a unique existence in this magical world."

"You are the one who can create a brand new magical creatures ecosystem for the wizarding world, empower the industry, and lead it to new heights!"

Warwick felt his mind go dizzy.

is it?

Is that so?
Am I really that awesome?
Shit, that seems to make sense. It turns out I’m such a rare talent. Why didn’t I realize it before?
"But I'm already forty, what great achievements can I make..."

Before he could finish his words, he saw Rhine waving his hand decisively.

"What's wrong with forty? It's the prime of life."

"Let me tell you something. Mr. Ollivander is already eighty years old this year, and he's still thinking about making great achievements."

"Mr. Warwick, you are only forty. It is time for you to make your own way."

"Are you willing to spend the rest of your life in such a small, crowded shop, running a big business selling fire crabs?"

"What a waste! It's a waste of your talent. Even Merlin can't stand it!"

Warwick's breathing gradually became rapid.

It seems that he is unwilling to accept it.

"But my shop has been open for so many years, and it hasn't become very popular."

"What am I supposed to do?"

"Smuggling fire dragons? Isn't that too risky?"

A strange smile appeared on Rhine's face.

"No, no, no, of course we can't do illegal business."

"It's just that I have an idea. Mr. Warwick, do you think it would be a good idea to consider it?"

"Have you ever heard of—Pokémon?"
