The Wind and the Wings of Hogwarts

This feeling of déjà vu!

Scott raised an eyebrow.

At this moment, he has a feeling of déjà vu, like he was playing with a tablet in a past life.

However, it now seems that the Book of Prometheus can also be considered a magical version of a tablet computer.

Although it doesn't have as many features as a tablet, it does have features that tablets don't.

For example, by directly leveraging the power of the [Knowledge Bank], Milton was able to regain his musical talent!

Thinking of this, Scott couldn't wait to click "Cancel" to return to the previous menu, and then he couldn't wait to click "Redeem".

The redemption menu is divided into three main options.

[Knowledge]

[thing]

[Mutual Assistance]

As the names suggest, Scott clicked on [Knowledge] and [Items] and found that this option was essentially a trading platform between members of the Scholars' Alliance.

Scott quickly glanced through the tasks posted by the other members.

Some were summoning research partners, others were buying materials, still others were looking for thugs, and still others were seeking teachers...

A wide variety of things, everything is available.

It seems that as long as you can provide the corresponding academic credits, you can offer a reward for any task here.

"Oh!"

"cool!"

Eddie and Roger, who were watching closely next to Scott, couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

"Quick, check if there's any information about the Magic Internet!" Eddie urged Scott.

Scott nodded and selected the [Knowledge] option again.

[Spells], [Transfiguration], [Dark Magic], [Potions], [Alchemy], [Ancient Runes]...

The drop-down menu for "Knowledge" is also categorized like the courses at Hogwarts.

“This…” Eddie asked hesitantly, “What is the magical internet? Alchemy?”

Scott followed his advice and chose [alchemy].

The pages became blank again, and the small text above reappeared.

[Please write down the key information you need on the page.]

"Oh, you can also search by keywords!" Eddie exclaimed excitedly.

Scott picked up his pen again and wrote down [Knowledge Bank].

His handwriting flickered and quickly disappeared, with new handwriting appearing on the page.

"It's here!" Eddie and Roger shouted at the same time.

[Book: "Construction Record of the Knowledge Bank Core (Alchemy Section)"]

Author: Nicolas Flamel

[Redeem requires 1 credit]

Scott's eyes widened.

Eddie and Roger roared at the same time.

"It only costs 1 credit!"

"This is way too cheap!"

"It's definitely a bug!"

"Change it quickly!"

Scott reached out and tapped the [Confirm Redemption] button below with trembling fingers.

[Your credits are insufficient!]

A sudden notification reminded him that his credits were still 0; he didn't even have 1 credit.

"Hurry up and earn credits!"

"quick!"

Eddie and Roger started yelling and urging them on.

But by this time, Scott had completely calmed down.

"No rush," he said.

"Why aren't you in a hurry!"

"Hurry up! You'll miss out!"

Eddie and Roger simultaneously reached out and grabbed his neck, shaking him violently.

"Stop!" Scott shouted. "Don't you guys realize that there can't be a bug in this kind of thing!"

Eddie and Roger calmed down after hearing this.

They weren't stupid, and they quickly understood what Scott meant.

"You mean, this material is only worth 1 credit, that's the normal price?" Eddie asked incredulously.

Scott nodded.

"Why?" Roger asked. "How can this kind of knowledge be sold so cheaply?"

“Because it’s difficult,” Scott answered his question. “Like Felix Felicis in potions, almost everyone knows its recipe, but only potion masters can make a decent bottle of Felix Felicis, which is one of the reasons why it’s so expensive.”

“I understand, you’re right.” Roger immediately agreed with him. “It seems that even if you spend 1 credit to buy this material, the most likely outcome is that we won’t be able to understand it at all.”

Eddie said dejectedly, "That's certainly possible, since none of us have studied alchemy, and even Scott only knows a little bit of the basics."

Scott shrugged.

Let's take a look at the normal price of knowledge.

He tapped a few times on the page, selected the [Transfiguration] option, and then wrote the keyword [Animagus].

When the new menu appeared, Eddie and Roger immediately started talking about it.

"Animagus Magic Overview, requires 500 credits."

"Detailed steps, taught to you step by step in Animagus, requires 1000 credits."

"Advanced human transformation techniques, significantly increasing the success rate of Animagus techniques, require 3000 credits! So expensive!"

"Druidic magic, the inspiration for shapeshifting magic, requires 5000 credits! Even more expensive!"

"OK OK."

Scott spoke up to stop the two from exclaiming.

He started turning the pages.

The term "Animagus" contains so much information that it cannot be written on a single page, making it overwhelming.

The range of credits required to explain the knowledge of Animagus, this highly advanced human transformation technique, from various perspectives is also extremely wide, ranging from tens of credits to thousands of credits.

At this moment, Scott finally understood what Dumbledore and Professor Flitwick had told him.

The sheer comprehensiveness of knowledge contained in just one [Animagus] was enough to ignite his desire to buy it.

He hasn't looked at the other secondary options in the [Knowledge] category yet, nor has he looked at the primary options in the [Items] category!

This can indeed easily trigger inner greed, and it can also easily lead to one's life being hijacked by academic anxiety.

"Let's leave it at that for now." Scott didn't want to watch anymore. "Anyway, I can't afford the knowledge that catches my eye, so I can only look at it sadly."

After saying that, he quickly closed the Book of Prometheus and turned it into a card.

"That makes sense."

Roger yawned as he walked toward his bed.

“Being unable to afford it is the biggest obstacle to progress,” Eddie sighed, stretching out with a big yawn.

"Oh! I'm done!"

At that moment, Milton's joyful voice rang out.

"My new song is called 'Prometheus's Newborn Liver'!"

Chapter 378 Vigilance, Calmness, Nightmare

Before falling asleep, Scott lay in bed holding the gold card between his fingers, a lingering sense of absurdity filling his mind.

"There really is a 'system' after transmigrating?" he thought with amusement. "Online literature really does live up to its reputation."

He looked at the card in his hand.

However, since each member of the Scholars Alliance has one of these "systems," and there's nothing extraordinary to exchange for them, it seems somewhat unrefined.

Thinking of this, Scott sighed silently.

Sure enough, no matter how much I try to control my mind, the emotion called "laziness" still keeps popping up from time to time.

He never imagined that such unrealistic fantasies would even arise in his mind—

I fantasize about being like the transmigrated protagonists in those online novels I read in my past life, possessing a system that allows me to become invincible simply by signing in and drawing cards.

You can't have that kind of thinking.

Scott quickly regained his composure and stopped having such joking thoughts.

He truly understood that he was merely a reincarnated person, not a protagonist, and had no powerful cheat codes.

In this real world, all he can rely on is his decent talent and his relentless studying.

Everything else is merely icing on the cake.
