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

The other members also arrived one after another.

Zicomo glanced around and found that, apart from himself and Hermione, the two newcomers, there were 10 members present.

Ravenclaw alone has 6, Gryffindor and Slytherin each have 1, while Hufflepuff has 2.

“Alright, everyone’s here. Let’s first welcome our two new members,” Professor McGonagall began.

Those chosen by Professor McGonagall are naturally not the kind of people who respect their own house and belittle other houses.

Everyone gave Zicomo and Hermione a round of applause as a gesture of respect.

After the introductions, everyone got to know each other.

The club activities are divided into two parts: a transfiguration demonstration and a sharing of experiences.

“Let’s get down to business. How about we start by having the newcomers demonstrate their Transfiguration skills?” Professor McGonagall suggested.

Zicomo and Hermione nodded in unison.

“Then I’ll go first,” Zicomo said, stepping forward.

He took out his wand and waved it.

A tiger suddenly appeared out of nowhere in front of the open space.

The tiger slowly walked forward, constantly changing its shape as it went.

Mice, rabbits, pigs, horses, and so on—every animal is vividly portrayed.

Finally, Zicomo waved his hand again.

Reverting to its tiger form, it leaped up and transformed into an Eastern dragon, hovering in the air.

Zicomo performed a transformation of the twelve Chinese zodiac animals for everyone.

After the presentation, everyone applauded.

The upperclassmen all thought this junior was very impressive.

Only Professor McGonagall knew that Zicomo's transfiguration had reached a very high level.

He could now complete Agmanis' transformation on his own without any problem.

When it was Hermione's turn, the little witch remembered the game she had played that morning.

Transform the chair in front of you into a pea shooter.

With its bright eyes fixed ahead, it spit out several peas into an empty spot.

"A novel idea!" Even Professor McGonagall couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

The little witch bowed and stepped down from the stage, returning to Zicomo's side.

Next up are the senior students.

Everyone who joins the club has their own special skills.

Zicomo learned a great deal from everyone he met, and his experience was truly rewarding.

When it came time for the sharing session, Professor McGonagall was the only one who could talk to Zikomo.

It's not because his skill level is much higher than others.

However, Zicomo's topics are often quite sharp and novel, and only Professor McGonagall, with her extensive knowledge, can keep up with his pace.

Everyone had a very rewarding evening.

On the way back, the little witch was overjoyed and in a very good mood.

"Cousin, I didn't embarrass myself today, did I?"

"No, our Hermione is amazing."

Zicomo reached out and patted the little witch's head.

"Hehe, the senior students are all so amazing, but I feel like none of them are as amazing as my cousin."

Hermione will also ask some questions when she talks to the upperclassmen tonight.

However, there are occasional instances where they cannot answer the questions.

This situation would never happen when she asks her cousin a question.

So the little witch thought her cousin was the most powerful.

“Of course, your cousin is a genius!” Zicomo said proudly.

Hermione giggled at the exaggerated tone.

"Alright, we're back at the dorm. Goodnight, Hermione!"

Zicomo pinched the little witch's cheeks, which were puffed up from laughing.

Goodnight, cousin!

Hermione gave Zicomo a big hug, then turned and ran back to her dorm.

Chapter Twenty-Four: First Attempt at Death and Resurrection

The border region, Lake Lienia.

As a virtual world constructed by the system, it is naturally not like the original game where the water level barely covers the horse's ankles.

This place is shrouded in thick fog all year round. One second you may be walking on flat ground, and the next you may fall into a pool of water more than ten meters deep.

Zicomo has fallen into the pool several times.

He couldn't swim in his previous life, but he was forced to learn to swim here.

He swam to shore once again, at the turn of dusk and night.

The next second, a 'dead bird' suddenly appeared on the broken walls and ruins on the shore.

A mouthful of deathly flames was spat at him.

Zicomo fought and retreated, trying to outmaneuver it as he always did.

In the next instant, countless black vines burst forth from Zicomo's body.

When he opened his eyes again, he was back in reality.

Zicomo was stunned. Could the sudden death effect trigger so quickly?

What about his 'Twelve Trials'? Wasn't it supposed to increase resistance to that attack after being attacked?

"System, what's going on?"

The power of death is immense in every world, and the resistance-enhancing effects of the 'Twelve Trials' have no effect on it.

Therefore, when the host is burned to a certain extent by the death flames of the 'Death Bird', the sudden death effect will be triggered.

[The host can consume one resurrection attempt to gain complete immunity to the power of death.]

Zicomo has two options for resurrection in the game.

One method is to revive at a Blessing Point after a 24-hour cooldown in the game; the other is to be resurrected directly after death by relying on the 'Twelve Trials'.

However, he has always kept the second resurrection method off by default.

After all, there are only eleven chances to revive.

Although it can replenish life energy and restore the number of resurrection attempts, who knows how much life energy it will take to replenish completely?

Moreover, life energy is also divided into levels. For example, the energy in his red dew bottle can only achieve the effect of healing external injuries and replenishing status.

Zicomo speculated that to replenish the number of resurrection cycles using the energy from Dettol bottles, one would have to drink at least hundreds or thousands of bottles.

…………

The next day, Zicomo logged on again and headed straight for the ruins he had seen before.

It just so happens that it was nighttime.

From afar, Zicomo could see the 'Dead Bird' lingering in that area.

This time, Zicomo didn't even use magic. He pulled out a greatsword and charged straight at the 'Dead Bird'.

He now absolutely hates this thing.

You should know that sudden death has a terrible effect.

The feeling of those black vines bursting out of your body is more painful than being cut into a thousand pieces.

What's worse, he'll have to experience that pain again later.

The 'Death Bird' had clearly noticed his presence and, as usual, spat out a breath of death flame.

Ignoring everything else, Zicomo charged through the gray-white sea of ​​fire and leaped onto the top of the 'Dead Bird'.

Press down on its skull and give it a good beating.

In the end, Zicomo managed to knock off half of its health before triggering the sudden death effect and dying.

"Resurrection!"

In the moment of death, Zicomo murmured to himself.
