The Dark Lord's Guide to Employment at Hogwarts

The psychological pressure Li Weide put on him was really too great!

He carefully glanced at Li Weide's expression and said, "Maybe my name is too common. Many people are called Tom, so you think my name is familiar..."

As Tom spoke, a hint of disgust flashed in his eyes. He was not lying on this point, he really hated his mediocre name.

Because he always felt that he was extraordinary with his special talents, and was not the same as those mediocre guys who were also called Tom!

So, just the thought of having the same name as those stupid guys made him feel sick!

"It doesn't matter if your name is ordinary, Tom. If you can become powerful enough and terrifying enough, then your name will naturally become a taboo. How can a name that no one dares to call out be ordinary?"

Tom watched as Levitra removed his hand from his shoulder and swallowed hard.

In front of Li Weide, he felt like he was completely naked. This feeling of being easily seen through made him both terrified and angry...

But... making your own name a taboo?

Tom savored Li Weide's words carefully, his pupils gradually contracted, and even his breathing became a little rapid.

"Can it really be done?"

There is no doubt that Li Weide's words made his heart move.

Moreover, he suddenly felt that it was really shameful for him to use this rare talent to bully these ordinary people. No wonder Li Weide despised him so much...

However, since this guy Li Weide can improve his abilities through practice, why can't I?

In Tom's opinion, the reason he lost face in front of this guy today was entirely because he had not practiced his abilities enough!

As long as he practiced hard, he didn't believe that he could not be as good as the pretentious guy in front of him!

"Just wait, when the time comes I will definitely..."

Tom lowered his head slightly, his eyes flickering.

He was thinking about how to deal with Li Weide in his mind, and glanced at Li Weide cautiously, but happened to see Li Weide's half-smile, and he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart!

"Damn it! What does that look mean? Why does it feel like he knows everything I'm thinking? No... Impossible!"

Tom naturally didn't know that as a time traveler, Li Weide knew more about Tom's life and deeds than Tom himself, so it was very easy for him to understand his thoughts.

Li Weide's face showed a hint of smile again, and he said gently, "My name is also very ordinary. I'm Li Weide. Oh, according to your custom, it should be Weide Li. Of course, I don't mind you calling me Weide directly."

'But I do mind you calling me Tom!'

Tom screamed angrily in his heart, while struggling to control his facial expression so as to look more submissive.

He seemed to be born with the ability to disguise himself.

"It was a misunderstanding today, Wei... I mean... sir." Tom didn't dare to call Li Weide's name directly.

Although he kept saying in his heart that Li Weide was just pretending, but... the damn oppressive feeling from this guy made Tom feel powerless.

At the same time, a flash of enlightenment emerged in his mind.

It turns out that as long as you are strong enough and enough to make people feel afraid, others really won’t even dare to mention your name!

In other words, what this guy said about making his name a taboo is really feasible!

"One person is enough to make their name taboo! And that person... is me! And only me!"

'Perhaps, I can find a way to learn something from him, and then...'

A barely perceptible red light flashed in Tom's eyes again.

Of course, the subtle changes in Tom's expression did not escape Li Weide's eyes. He knew very well that Tom was not the kind of person who was willing to be inferior to others for long.

There is no doubt that he will do everything he can to retaliate for what happened today!

However, Li Weide still let Tom leave his room safely.

On the one hand, the reason why he didn't kill the future Dark Lord was because Levid didn't want Tom to die in his room and cause unnecessary trouble.

On the other hand, a living Tom could still be useful to Li Weide.

The most important thing is that Levid knows that Dumbledore will personally come to give Tom the admission notice...

Levid also wanted to see with his own eyes the famous scene where Dumbledore burned Tom's wardrobe.

……

After Tom left, Li Weide closed the door again. He looked at the broken door lock and pressed it lightly with his left hand.

Since I know that the power I possess is magic, and I remember what the spell is from reading novels and watching movies before traveling through time, there is no reason not to give it a try!

"Reparo! (Restore to the original state)"

As soon as he finished speaking, the door lock hanging on the door frame made a rattling sound and gradually repaired itself.

I don’t know whether the spell worked or it was simply the result of Li Weide’s repeated practice.

Li Weide looked at the repaired door lock, which still had some obvious cracks, and felt a little uncertain.

He remembered that besides spells, magic also involved gestures, pauses between syllables, and the like, so perhaps his spell hadn't worked, otherwise, there wouldn't have been any cracks left.

However, Li Weide was not in a hurry about this and put the spell aside for the time being.

Because in addition to learning what kind of world this was, he also activated a system but didn't have time to look at it.

Thinking of this, Li Weide tried to call upon the system that had just been activated in his mind.

As soon as Li Weide had this thought, a familiar ding sound rang in his mind!

"Ding! The host has successfully bound to the Merit System. As long as you do good deeds and accumulate virtue, you can accumulate merit points and exchange them for items in the system mall!"

"Ding! System reminder, the system mall refreshes two products every day, and the refresh time is 00:00 every morning. The host has the function of locking the product once, and the locked product will not be refreshed."

"Ding! It has been detected that the host has just crossed paths with the future Dark Lord. After evaluation, the host clearly possesses the potential to become the Dark Lord. Therefore, as long as the host achieves the Dark Lord achievement, they can instantly become a god and transcend this world. In addition, the standard for achieving the Dark Lord achievement is determined by the system, so please work hard!"

Li Weide stroked his smooth chin and slowly sat down on the single bed beside him.

It is actually not difficult to become the Dark Lord. Just wait until your strength increases and follow the way Voldemort did in later generations.

Or you can wait until Grindelwald is locked up and then use his same trick again.

However, in order to support this cause, he must have strong power himself.

Although without the system, Li Weide is confident that he can become stronger. However, if he has the system but does not use it, it would be no different from going to a treasure mountain and coming back empty-handed?

So, you have to use it!

So, the crux of the matter now is... doing good deeds and accumulating virtue seems to be contrary to the goal of becoming the Dark Lord?

Suddenly, a smile appeared on Li Weide's lips.

Who says that if you do good deeds and accumulate virtue, you can’t become the Dark Lord?

It depends on how to do this good thing!

Chapter 4 The Correct Use of Tom

But if that happens, it would be difficult to follow the same path as Voldemort and Grindelwald.

Li Weide already had an idea in his mind, and then opened the system interface in his mind.

The system interface is very simple, with only products and merit point balances.

[Product 1: Baixian 50ml (unlocked) 5 Merit Points]

[Item 2: "Complete Solution to Low-Level Spells" (Unlocked) - 50 Merit Points]

[Refresh time countdown: 8 hours, 27 minutes and 39 seconds]

Merit Points: 50

Dark Lord Achievement: Not Achieved

When Li Weide saw the second item, he immediately clicked on it without hesitation.

["Complete Explanation of Low-Level Spells" is a system-exclusive edition of a low-level spell book. It covers almost all the low-level spells currently in circulation in the world, and details all the casting techniques of these spells, as well as their historical evolution...]

Before even finishing reading the system description, Li Weide chose to buy it without hesitation.

Because even though this book records only low-level spells, it is still of great help to Levid, a novice in magic!

Moreover, given the level of detail in this spell book, you absolutely cannot buy it in a bookstore!

"Ding! Do you want to buy "A Complete Guide to Low-Level Magic"?"

"Yes!"

"Ding! Host, please select the language of this book."

Can I choose the language?

Li Weide couldn't help but feel moved when he heard this, "Is there a simplified Chinese version?"

He was just asking casually. You have to know that simplified Chinese only appeared in the 1950s, and it was only the 1930s.

"Ding! The simplified Chinese version of "A Complete Guide to Low-Level Magic" has been shipped. Please check it out!"

Li Weide only felt his palms getting warm, and a book with a black cover suddenly appeared in his hands!

Li Weide picked up the book with some doubts. He found that the thickness was not right!

If this book really contained as much information as described in the system manual, it would definitely be much thicker than this.

Li Weide glanced at the black cover and saw the English name of the book written in thick gold-plated letters... "Oliver Twist".

Huh? Where's the spell book you were supposed to read? Why is it a Dickens novel?

Li Weide frowned slightly.

Suddenly, Li Weide discovered that when he focused his eyes completely on the title of the book, the English title of "Oliver Twist" slowly turned into simplified Chinese in Li Weide's vision - "The Complete Solution to Low-Level Spells".

What amazed Li Weide was that when he moved his eyes away from the text, the simplified Chinese title on the cover changed back to the English version of "Oliver Twist".

"Ding! This is a system-limited edition book. Only the host and those with the host's permission can see the true content."

Li Weide was very satisfied with the camouflage function of the spell book.

The book was self-disguising, so he wouldn't have to worry about anyone noticing the overly detailed spellbook.

Moreover, since the true content of the book is hidden, its thickness cannot be used to measure the level of detail.

Li Weide opened the book casually, and sure enough, the content of the novel slowly turned into a detailed explanation of the spell under his sight! The most important thing was that it was all in simplified Chinese!

The spell book would have been interspersed with many Old English words, and even though Li Weide's English was good, it would not have been easy to understand.

However, because what Li Weide had in his hand was the simplified Chinese version produced by the system, and the translation was so faithful, fluent and elegant, this problem was naturally solved.

……

"Knock knock! Sir, it's time to eat."

Li Weide, who was immersed in the study of spells, raised his head and looked at the sky outside the window which was getting darker.

Before I knew it, it was already time for dinner.

Li Weide opened the door and saw Tom standing at the door with a humble look on his face.

It was as if the arrogant guy during the day had nothing to do with him. When necessary, he could become very thick-skinned...

From another perspective, this can also be regarded as Tom's special talent.

"Tom, don't call me sir, it sounds weird. If you don't mind, just call me Wade." A smile appeared on Li Weide's face.

Tom nodded with a faint smile on his face. "Then I'll call you Wade when there are people around, and sir when there are no one around."

I have to say that Tom is indeed a natural pretender. He speaks nicely, is considerate of others, and looks good.

Those who don’t understand him will most likely be deceived.

No wonder after going to school, except for Dumbledore who had seen his true face, other teachers and students all liked him very much.

"Then it's up to you."

Li Weide responded noncommittally and walked towards the dining area.

Tom hurried after him.

Tom's performance along the way was impeccable.

He followed Li Weide respectfully, looking like a complete lackey.

But Li Weide knew that this was a poisonous snake! As long as he found an opportunity, he would pounce on him and bite his throat tightly!
