Online Games: Harry Potter: The Age of Magic

Chapter 45

The night was getting darker, and the brilliance of the bright moon fell vertically, adding a bit of chill to the land covered with silver frost in winter.

After submitting the daily faction mission, Rossi, who had received 30 experience points, finally reached level [-].

After distributing the attribute points and skill points obtained after the upgrade, Rossi hired a carriage pulled by thestrals and drove towards the village of Ottery San Catchpole together with Irene and Abe.

Although Abo shared the map developed by himself on the Floo website with the two and helped them dispel nearly [-]% of the fog on the map, but because the two of Rossi had never actually arrived there, there was no way to use the Floo powder to pass The fireplace conveys directly.

Unlike the two-wheeled open carriage that Hagrid had been in when he picked her up, Rosie hired a four-wheeled carriage with a spacious wooden carriage for 1 Galleon and 55 Sickles.

The inside is covered with a thick layer of cashmere blanket, which seems to have been specially treated, and there is a faint fragrance of fruit and wood on it.

The invisible thestrals ran faster and faster, pulling the carriage up into the sky in the blink of an eye.

Rossi took out a whole loaf of rye bread from the inventory, and handed two portions to the two: "Let's eat some bread to replenish hunger, and I will treat you to dinner later."

Irene took the bread, sniffed it, and said with a smile, "Then you have to take us to Wilton Restaurant."

Wilton's Restaurant claims to be the most expensive restaurant in Brantania. Some players in the forum broke the news that the cheapest food there is around ten Galleons per unit.

"no problem."

Rossi smiled and agreed, "I just want to go and see how the food there is different from the food we usually eat to satisfy our hunger."

"That's still a big difference."

Abo swallowed the bread stuffed into his mouth, and interjected, "The dry bread is only for satisfying hunger. If we talk about the taste, those dishes are..."

Before the word "It's delicious" was out of my mouth, I saw an owl grabbing a roll of newspaper and dropping it on the shaft of the carriage, and it was cooing towards Abo at the moment.

Abo hurriedly opened the window and let the owl deliver the newspaper.

"This is the Evening Prophet. I have a daily subscription."

Seeing the doubts on the faces of the two of Rossi, Abo explained, "I have been busy before, and just now I have time to receive tonight's newspaper."

The Prophet is divided into a daily newspaper and an evening newspaper. The content of the daily newspaper includes real-time news from 12:[-] a.m. to [-]:[-] p.m., while the evening paper covers the rest of the time.In addition to publishing some complicated information in the game, the newspaper will also update the content published by the player in the newspaper within [-] hours in real time in the column of letters from readers, which is equivalent to the world channel in the game.

Of course, regardless of the monthly subscription price of 6 Galleons or the 10 Sickles required for each speech, Rossi had a deep resistance to it.

It's not that people are stupid and have a lot of money, so why spend money to watch other people chat.Rossi slandered in his heart, and said casually:

"I didn't expect you to still have the habit of reading newspapers."

"Do as the Romans do."

While opening the newspaper, Abo said, "If you want to become a qualified explorer, you must learn to retrieve useful things from the complicated information."

What useful information can be found in this newspaper?

After listening to Abo's words, Rossi immediately became interested. Just as she was about to go over to read the content, her head bumped into Irene who had the same idea.

He raised his eyes and smiled at Irene, then shifted his gaze to the newspaper that Abo opened.

In the upper left corner of the newspaper is the very conspicuous masthead of the Evening Prophet. Next to it, there is a magical photo of a 30-year-old witch. Greeting with a smile:

"Hello, I am the new Minister of Magic—Wilmina Taft, thank you for your support to the Ministry of Magic."

"She is Ms. Taft, who just took over the position of Minister of Magic. She looks really young."

Rossi sighed, his eyes glanced at the photo of the other party, and slowly moved down.

"Taft Holds Talks with the Correctional Services Ambassador in Britannia, Actively Promoting Peaceful and Friendly Relations Between Wizards and Muggles. "

The History of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry

"Hogwarts Winter Gift, Dawn of the Wizarding World"

"Dark Lord Sentenced to Permanent Detention, Unrepentant "Saints" Will Come to an End"

"What should we think of Muggle disciplinary institutions"

……

Rossi's eyes slowly browsed through the pages one by one. She was eating melons in a happy mood when she suddenly saw an article titled "How selfish is Rossi who snatches resources from poor players".

"Huh? Is this talking about me?"

Rossi suddenly opened her almond-eyed eyes and took the newspaper from Abo, and read it carefully:
After experiencing the sudden update of the game, as a woman, I actually have a good impression of Rosie, and my girlfriends also think that she is winning glory for us female players this time.

But what happened after the chance meeting made me regret my admiration for her before.

Like many players, I am an ordinary poor player.But fortunately, I joined the united and harmonious family of the Half-Blood Wizarding Association.

After the opening of the Hogwarts camp, our society became a part of Hogwarts for the first time.Out of care and help for us poor players, the club management took time to take us to the Forbidden Forest to brush tasks.

On this trip, we ran into Rosie and her teammate who were surrounded by monsters and were about to die. Honestly, I really regretted not stopping the teammate to save them.

Yes, we rescued them, but they didn't feel grateful at all, instead they wanted to grab our resources.

Originally, the resources in the game are public, and as poor players, we don't want to cause trouble, and don't want to bother with her. How could we know that she is dissatisfied and secretly hides near us. When we were lucky enough to brush a rare boss and After defeating the BOSS, she actually killed us together with her friends and took the first kill of the BOSS.

My friends advised me not to think too much, being robbed by monsters while playing games is the most normal thing.

But I really can't bear the feeling that this idol worship is shattered by the other party. I feel that my heart has been trampled on by her.

So, the more I thought about it, the more angry I couldn't help but borrow money from my friends to publish this article.

I know that this may not have any effect on Rossi, but I still want to post it so that players who admire Rossi as much as I did before can see her face clearly.

……

Alas, in fact, there may be no one else who really admires her except me. After all, as long as you use your brain, think about the fact that "The Chamber of Secrets" has been updated for a long time, and Rosie has already cleared this dungeon, but she hasn't published it on the forums or newspapers. Comparing the strategy or clues related to the dungeon with the previous players who enthusiastically posted detailed dungeon strategy on forums and newspapers, one can see how selfish she is!

……

"Gan!"

After reading the hacking article written by a player signed by Tangtang, Rossi couldn't help laughing out of breath, "It's really interesting, there are so many people in this game!"

"That's right! She's simply distorting the facts!"

Irene said angrily, "They were the ones who robbed us in the first place, but they are ashamed to say they saved us!"

Abo twitched the corner of his mouth and said: "There are always such giant babies who like to tell stories and turn black and white in the game, so don't worry about it."

After a pause, he continued: "BOSS is originally a public resource. It doesn't mean that whoever opened it will own it. The game mechanism allows monsters to be looted, so there is no problem."

During the conversation, Abo spent 10 Sickles and left a message at the bottom of the article:
"You also know that resources are public? Does the BOSS belong to you? You still say that others rob it? What did you do yourself? You don't know what? You also say that others don't share dungeon strategies. You know that those strategies in the forum are cleared by others. How many times did you write it later? Playing a game doesn’t want to explore and experience by yourself, but to rely on others and eat off-the-shelf, so why are you still playing, go home and watch the Teletubbies!”

Uh... Didn't you say don't worry about it?So what are you doing?
Rossi looked at Abo in surprise.

As if seeing the doubt in Rossi's eyes, Abo's voice became deep: "Obviously we robbed the boss together, but she didn't mention me at all. I definitely can't bear it."

"Puff! What you care about is really different!"

Irene next to her couldn't help laughing and complaining.
