Hogwarts: A Chinese-Style Professor

Chapter 100 Li Wei's Ultimate Goal

Dumbledore left, deep in thought.

Li Wei's expression was also not very relaxed—during the conversation just now, he thought about his life goals.

Becoming a legendary wizard was not actually his goal, but rather a survival need driven by the concept of "self-preservation".

The Sorting Hat assigned him to Hufflepuff and Slytherin, not Ravenclaw and Slytherin.

It's because he himself didn't have such a great pursuit of knowledge and magic—he craved knowledge out of a desire for power and self-preservation.

He deliberately embraced being petrified by the basilisk, simply to find ways to improve his magic from this experience—in fact, he had recently had quite a few inspirations.

For example, one can petrify oneself to avoid attacks from certain spells—such as the Killing Curse, which is completely ineffective against non-living objects.

However, it is very difficult to do this, and he has no plans to study it for the time being; it is just an idea.

His ultimate goal has never changed—immortality.

The people in the magical world are limited by their productivity, and their vision is still too narrow.

There is only one magic school in the whole of Britain, with only about 40 students in each year, and less than 300 students in all seven years.

There are probably only around 3000 wizards in the entire British society.

Assuming the global proportion of wizards is similar, the total number of wizards in the world is only a few hundred thousand, at most no more than 20.

This population was smaller than that of a small city in Li Wei's previous life in China.

First-tier cities like Shanghai and Beijing have populations that have long exceeded 1000 million, which is more than 50 times the population of Wizards!
Although Li Wei had no ideas about serving the country and its people, nor any ambition to stir up a new era, he did enjoy witnessing the development of the times.

In his previous life, he was born at a special point in time—1997, the year Hong Kong returned to China.

When we were little, we didn't have many forms of entertainment. The way we kids would get together and play was by making up stories and playing D&D-style role-playing games. The development of the story depended entirely on the host.

When they got a little older, the Subor game console became popular. They would insert cartridges and connect them to a black and white TV to play video games.

Back then, computers used dial-up internet, and the screen looked similar to a television set—a bulky, square box.

However, in just over two decades, technological development has been rapid and new forms of entertainment have emerged one after another.

Looking back, it's hard to believe that the world has changed so much.

In his previous life, Li Wei was just an ordinary office worker. Although he had no worries about making a living, he had no access to a life of extravagance and debauchery.

He experienced everything in an ordinary way, but he was still deeply attracted by this ordinary leap.

Whether in his past life or now, if he could, he would want to live on forever.

For no other reason than to live as a spectator, that would be enough to bring him joy.

In this life, with the chance to achieve immortality before him, he was completely unable to resist the temptation.

Thinking about this, he suddenly realized why he longed for immortality.

Because he wanted to witness the power of time—to witness the development of the era and the leaps in technology.

The thought that he would have the opportunity to witness it forever filled Li Wei with joy.

At that moment, he suddenly felt a desire.

He suddenly wanted to take a look.

Just how much change will his existence bring to the magical world?

How much beyond what he could have imagined could the magical world bring him?

"Perfect timing, isn't that exactly what I'm doing right now?"

The first step in this change began with the students of Hogwarts.

Livy's passion waned slightly after he started teaching his students. Since arriving at Hogwarts, he has become increasingly carefree and no longer as withdrawn as before.

But this also makes his emotions more outward and prone to fluctuation.

For example, right now, Li Wei felt like he was laughing at the third-grade student in front of him.

He used red hats to help the second-grade students cool down yesterday, and naturally the third-grade students couldn't avoid it either.

But these idiots had studied for a year longer than the second-year students. Although the Red Hats, manipulated by Li Wei, defeated them, they did not crush them as easily as they had the second-year students. This led to many of them being dissatisfied.

They even believed that this was because Livy hadn't taught them other intermediate spells.

"If it were Professor Jowell, he would definitely tell us by now!"

In the crowd, one of the students said this.

"is it?"

Li Wei's voice was like the cold wind of March, and his face remained as indifferent as ever.

The students instinctively shuddered at his expression. The homework-obsessed professor hadn't shown such an attitude in a long time since he'd had a moment of enlightenment.

“If it were Jowellie, he would definitely tell you—but!”

Li Wei glanced sideways at the student who had spoken earlier, now realizing he had said the wrong thing and trying to hide his head under the desk.

"That's because he doesn't know what a stupid and incorrigible bunch of monsters you are!"

That's a very strong statement.

Although Snape often said that.

But Li Wei never said these things in class—he never made personal attacks on his students.

Therefore, his words made all the students blush.

But Li Wei's words were far from over.

"A bunch of little monsters who are already in the third grade but can't even maximize the effect of basic spells, yet they keep talking about learning intermediate or even advanced spells."

I'm quite curious, if I were to teach you how to wear armor and how to Apparate right now, how many of you could do it, and how many of you are confident you wouldn't split into multiple parts?

No one spoke.

The main problem is that they don't understand what the splitting phenomenon means—it sounds quite dangerous anyway.

However, even though they couldn't understand it, it didn't stop the students from becoming even angrier.

They changed their usual behavior, their faces flushed as they stared at Li Wei, as if trying to show through their actions—you may be able to insult us because of your professorship, but we are not convinced!
At this moment, Li Wei also realized what kind of people were in the audience.

The fool from Gryffindor, and the self-important rich kid.

It seems that although he was only petrified for two months, it was still too long, so much so that these silly kids forgot his methods—no, should we say they got used to them?

They had become accustomed to their shapeshifting abilities and therefore no longer found it particularly amazing.

The constant duels during breaks emboldened these students—and the fact that he was petrified by the basilisk monster likely diminished his prestige to some extent.

Thinking of this, Li Wei took out his wand, stood near the door, and looked at the group of students.

Whatever.

No need to wait until Friday's duel class.

Let's give these silly kids some private lessons today.
