Start by logging into the Old Man's Ring at Hogwarts

After all, she had played that game on 'Aiped' and was quite familiar with some of the skills in it.

Especially when Draco first visited their home with a dragon that could change its size, Hermione had already deduced that the changes in these people were related to her cousin.

This is why Hermione didn't question Zicomo about the origin of the shotgun when he pulled it out of the church in the Albanian forest.

The little witch was quite sensible; she knew that if Zicomo wanted to tell her, he would, and otherwise, no matter how much she asked, it would be useless, so she didn't ask.

Now that Zicomo has told her part of the truth, Hermione is still quite shocked.

She didn't expect that the skills in the game were real. Does that mean that the plants in Plants vs. Zombies might also exist?

Hermione didn't rush to ask Zicomo this question, because Zicomo was currently engraving runes on her wand.

As for why it wasn't engraved on Hermione, don't forget that people usually take off their shirts when engraving runes, because the back is the best place to engrave runes. The runes are connected to most of the magical circuits in the body, which can maximize the effect of the runes.

Another place with a similar effect would be the chest, which Hermione would find even less acceptable.

So the shy little witch chose to put the rune on her wand.

After transforming into a god-like being, Zicomo's powerful mental strength made it no longer a big problem for him to engrave on a wand that was not much thicker than a chopstick.

In less than two hours, Zicomo had finished engraving Hermione's likeness.

Hermione chose the runes on the wand herself; she selected a very special set of runes.

If we were to categorize it, it would belong to the spiritual category.

Its effects are as follows:

The basic rune "Angry Eyes" allows you to project your mental energy outwards, enabling you to perceive the outside world.

Advanced Rune "Fierce Light": Increases mental perception range by 15%.

Advanced Rune "Magic Eye": Increases mental perception range by 25%. When casting spells, magic can be emitted from any location within the mental perception range.

Ultimate Rune "Eagle Vision": Increases mental perception range by 40% and doubles magical power.

Hermione had long envied Zicomo's ability to project his mental energy, especially during the time he invented the "Animal Communication Charm," when Zicomo gave her a spell to guide his mental energy projection.

That was the first time she experienced the wonder of perceiving the outside world with her spiritual power.

But that was only guiding out a trace of spiritual energy; it wasn't a true external release.

Now that she has this set of runes, she can perceive the outside world with her mental power, just like Zicomo.

Moreover, with the "Magic Eye" rune, as long as her mental strength is sufficient, she can apply the spell directly to Quidditch from across most of the Quidditch pitch, just like Zicomo did in his first year.

After finishing the engraving, Zicomo asked Hermione for the protective gear he had given her before.

These were his previous alchemical creations, and Zicomo had engraved several protective runes on them.

It wasn't that he didn't want to engrave more runes on the wand, but rather that the wand had reached its limit.

When Zicomo created these items, he incorporated components to store magical energy, which was used to maintain the proper functioning of the items.

Therefore, after engraving the rune, Hermione does not need to inject magic to activate the rune; she only needs to occasionally inject excess magic into the storage component.

Following this idea, Zicomo designed a wand handle for Hermione.

This staff has no other function than storing magic power.

Zicomo infused it with a vast amount of magic to keep the runes on the wand running.

The little witch's magic isn't very abundant yet; I don't want this wand to become a burden to her.

After Zicomo finished doing all this, Hermione transformed into a woodpecker and pecked Zicomo's face a dozen times as a thank you.

Hermione then asked, "By the way, cousin, since the skills in the game '20 Minutes Before Dawn' are real, what about the plants in 'Plants vs. Zombies'?"

Zicomo patted her head and said, "Of course it's true, but I don't have many on hand either."

"What kinds of plants are there?" Hermione asked curiously.

“Actually, there’s a plant you’ve already seen,” Zicomo said, pointing to the Golden Tree. “The Golden Tree can absorb special power. I extracted the essence of the Wisdom Tree from the game and had the Golden Tree absorb it.”

At this point, Zicomo suddenly remembered something and took out a blue crystal ball from the system space.

"By the way, this is a special dew produced by the Golden Tree after absorbing the Tree of Wisdom. It can enhance your mental strength and magic power, and to a certain extent improve your wisdom."

Zicomo briefly explained the Dettol in his hand and handed it to Hermione.

Hermione took it and examined it for a moment, then handed it to Zicomo, saying, "This is such a precious thing, you should keep it for your use, cousin."

Zicomo pushed the Dettol back.

"This stuff isn't particularly precious. The Golden Tree produces one drop like this every so often. Besides, this drop isn't of much use to me anymore; it was originally meant for you."

After hearing Zicomo's explanation, Hermione accepted the Dettol, but then she encountered another problem.

"Cousin, how do you use this Dettol? You don't have to eat it, do you?"

Hermione looked at the fist-sized bead in her hand, her face showing reluctance.

Zicomo smiled and said, "Dettol dissolves when it touches gold, so I'll show you the second plant I obtained."

Zicomo led Hermione to a secluded space at the foot of the Golden Tree.

There was only one large white flower planted on the ground, surrounded by scattered Galleons.

Hermione recognized the plant in front of her at a glance.

"Marigold!"

"Yes, it's a marigold. It can produce one Galleon every day."

Hermione's eyes widened upon hearing this.

Don't be fooled by the fact that one Galleon a day may not seem like much; she knows that her cousin's garden can regulate the flow of time.

This means that the daily output could reach tens or even hundreds of Galleons.

In other words, even if her cousin just lay around doing nothing, he could still earn over a hundred a day, and the unit after that was Galleons.

Keep in mind that even the professors at Hogwarts don't earn more than two thousand Galleons a year, while her cousin has quietly earned over thirty thousand Galleons annually.

No wonder he never seemed to care about prices when he went to Diagon Alley with Zicomo.

Just then, Lani appeared out of nowhere and poked the marigold.

Turning to Zicomo, he said, "No wonder you hesitated so much when I asked for the plant. It turns out the king only has one marigold."

Zicomo chuckled sheepishly and said, "Hehe, I'm glad you understand. After all, this thing is part of my livelihood, so I can't let you break it."

He gave Lani a Peashooter seed, and Zicomo took a look at it later when Lani was studying it.

Good heavens, she's already chopped him into eight pieces.

Zicomo said to Hermione, "There's one last Peashooter seed. I gave it to Lani for research. I wonder how her research is going."

At this point, Zicomo looked at Lani.

“We’ve already achieved some results. Would you like to take a look?” Lani asked.

"Of course, but first let Hermione drink the Dettol."

After saying this, Zicomo grabbed a handful of Galleons from the ground, held them in his hand, and used Transfiguration to turn them into a golden cup, which he then handed to Hermione.

Hermione was speechless after receiving the golden cup; she now understood exactly what Zicomo had meant earlier.

This was the first time she had ever seen a cup made of Galleon.

Hermione took the cup and put the Dettol in it; the Dettol immediately turned into liquid.

After marveling at the wonder, Hermione picked up the cup and drank it all in one gulp.

In an instant, she felt a warm current flow through her body, and her mind became clearer, making it easier to solve some problems she usually encountered while reading.

Zicomo extended his mental energy and scanned Hermione.

It was perceptible that Hermione was only slightly weaker than Li Xuanjian at this moment.

The main problem is that Hermione is still too young, and her magical abilities are somewhat weak.

But if they actually fight, it's hard to say who will win or lose.

This involves issues such as power systems and combat experience.

In terms of power systems, the magic of the wizarding world is more unpredictable than Li Xuanjian's spells, and Hermione is likely to have more combat experience.

Hermione didn't waste her time taking dueling classes last year; she would occasionally ask Lani for advice on combat, and even ask Lani to spar with her.

Li Xuanjian, on the other hand, had been stationed in Chinatown for several years. He might have made some progress in his cultivation level, but his practical combat experience was certainly not very rich.

“Alright, let’s go. Let’s go see Lani’s research results.” Zicomo called to Hermione and followed Lani away.

What he didn't see was that the little witch was following at the back, her head bowed, her little face flushed red.

Hermione's mental strength was already exceptional among her peers, which is why she was able to learn magic so quickly.

With the combined boost from Dettol and her wand, she had surpassed most wizards and reached the level of a typical professor.

Furthermore, since Zicomo didn't conceal his mental power much, Hermione was able to sense it sweeping over her.

In that instant, the little witch felt as if she were completely naked and exposed in front of Zicomo.
