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

"Oh! Look, everyone, Ron has received a roaring letter."

The first person to recognize the letter was Simo, the explosives genius who probably received quite a few of these letters from home.

"Hurry up and open it, Ron. I once ignored Grandma's yelling letter, and the consequences were terrible."

This is a reminder from Neville, well, another unlucky kid.

Ron trembled as he pried off the sealing wax, and in the next instant, Mrs. Molly's voice echoed throughout the hall.

"Ron? Curtain? Shade? Hate? He said it wrong? Body?"

If you still can't behave properly, and if you do anything out of line again, we'll take you home!

"By the way, Ginny, congratulations on getting into Gryffindor! Your dad and I are so proud of you."

It's no wonder it's called the Roaring Letter; Zicomo probably heard it clearly from everyone passing by outside the hall.

Hopefully, it won't disturb the young wizards of Hufflepuff; their dormitories seem to be nearby.

After hearing the roaring message, everyone burst into laughter.

Indeed, one's own happiness is often built on the suffering of others.

Zicomo also shook his head with a smile, not out of schadenfreude, but simply because he was amused by what Mrs. Molly had said.

To get Ron to behave, you'd have to throw him into Hufflepuff and cut him off from Harry and the twins.

With Harry by his side, Ron's school life was destined to be colorful.

Moreover, the Weasleys were not exactly peaceful people.

Charlie, the eldest, went to Romania to raise dragons, while the twins spent their days devising pranks and inventions. Only Percy, the second son, was somewhat normal.

It all stemmed from their father, Arthur.

Arthur works in the Department for the Prevention of the Abuse of Muggle Items at the Ministry of Magic. Although he is called the head, there are actually only two people in that department.

Moreover, Arthur frequently led the way in violating the Muggle Protection Law he himself established.

Otherwise, where do you think he got that modified car from?

In fact, he was extremely interested in everything Muggle.

Therefore, Zicomo speculated that Arthur's situation was actually not bad at the moment.

The so-called review by the ministry mostly means having him write a report or something.

Under Minister Fudge's leadership, the Ministry of Magic was a complete mess, with only a few departments actually doing their jobs properly.

Arthur's department was practically dispensable, and the salaries weren't even that high.

Zicomo sometimes couldn't understand how these wizards could ban the misuse of Muggle items while Hogwarts was offering a Muggle Studies course.

what is this?

Strategically despise the enemy, but tactically take them seriously?

All indications suggest that there are connections between the wizarding world and the Muggle world's elite; for example, the Malfoy family ancestors even pursued the Queen.

However, some wizards refuse to have contact with Muggles, solely to ensure the purity and nobility of their own bloodline.

And it is this group of wizards who control most of the economic lifeline of the wizarding world.

That's right, those self-proclaimed pure-blooded and noble families.

Putting all that aside, the matter of Ron and Harry is now behind us, and everyone has started the new school term.

Chapter Seventy-Eight is a new game, huh? A farce.

Zicomo has been engrossed in "20 Minutes Before Dawn" these past few days.

Honestly, the grind of roguelike games is really addictive.

Zicomo stopped going to the border area, stopped reading books, and spent his days with a vacant look in his eyes, his attention entirely focused on playing video games.

Lani even asked Hermione what was wrong with him.

Hermione waved her hand, indicating that she was used to it; her cousin was like that last semester too, often spacing out for a while.

But this time it seems to be taking a little longer than she expected.

The main problem is that the system's conditions for clearing the game this time are very demanding, requiring him to complete all the game's achievements.

The game has nine characters, eight weapons, fifteen difficulty levels, and twenty-four achievements.

Just to get him to complete the highest difficulty level with different characters, he would have to do it nine times.

And it's a nine-times-unbreakable test.

Fortunately, he has high mental strength and reacts faster than the average person; otherwise, he might have had to do it many more times.

The most outrageous thing is that this game has an achievement that requires completing the game without firing a single shot.

In the later stages of the game, the density of monsters is so high that sometimes Zicomo can't even find his own character.

A few days passed like this, and then Zicomo slapped his forehead and decided that he couldn't be the only one suffering.

So the game was brought to life, an act that deeply moved the system.

The feeling of expending energy without pain or itching is just so amazing!

Everyone's 'Aiped' has received a major update.

Then the number of sufferers increased from Zikomo himself to five.

The five people are Zicomo, Harry, Ron, and his two older brothers.

Hermione wasn't very interested in the game; she only played it occasionally.

She spent most of her time discussing the game Plants vs. Zombies with Lani.

Zicomo also gave Lani a copy of 'Epider,' and judging from her obsession with 'Plants vs. Zombies,' she must really like it.

Actually, Lani was mainly interested in the fact that sunlight in the game could promote the growth of plants.

Yes, in her eyes, consuming sunlight to grow plants is the same as forcing plants to grow, only the process is omitted.

Lani wondered if her own moonlight could do the same.

She's been tinkering in Zicomo's 'Zen Garden' lately, experimenting with her ideas using the plants Zicomo has grown.

573 Zicomo was relieved that he had isolated the marigold.

Otherwise, if Lani sees him, his money-making machine will probably be in mortal danger.

The new semester naturally brought many new changes.

Professor Sprout, a herbalist, has acquired a new batch of mandrake.

In class, she asked the young wizards to change the soil around the mandrake.

Neville was successfully scared into fainting.

Yes, he's still as timid as ever.

But our Harry is different; he has gained a loyal little fanboy.

His name is Colin?

Zicomo joked that it was a good thing he chose portrait photography; if he had chosen landscape photography, he probably would have had a hard time finding a wife (just kidding, no offense intended).

Later, Zicomo thought about it and realized that perhaps Harry had more than one fanboy.

He also has a crazy little fanboy, Dobby, the house-elf of the Malfoys.

This mentally unstable little guy must have heard some news from his owner that Harry is in danger at Hogwarts.

They tried every possible way to keep Harry away from Hogwarts.

…………

The classroom for Defense Against the Dark Arts was the first time Zicomo and his classmates were taking the course this semester.

After Lockhart entered the room, it only took him 5 minutes to make Zicomo and the others realize that he was a narcissistic and uncultured person.

That long, tedious self-introduction added up all the accolades he had received so far.

Someone who didn't know better might think it was a funeral where they were commemorating the deceased's life.

What about the Order of Merlin, Third Class, honorary member of the League Against the Dark Arts, and the five-time winner of The Wizarding Weekly's Most Charming Smile Award?

Zicomo felt like vomiting just listening to it.

This guy is even more greasy than Xiaoming. He shouldn't have come to class thinking he could give him some face on the first day.

Why doesn't he go fishing at Black Lake?

He hasn't touched a fishing rod in ages.

Of course, this refers to the fact that he hasn't fished by the Black Lake in a long time, since he's fished quite a bit at the 'Zen Garden'.

Looking at the two-person-high self-portrait next to Lockhart, Zicomo really wanted to throw a 'shattered' shot at it.

The three who knew Lockhart was a fraud—oh wait, we should also include Draco, who was standing not far away.

The four of them now share the same idea: to throw this peacock out.
