Hogwarts: Wizards of Eternity

“Roger, this is so cool, can I apply too!”

“I want to play too, count me in!”

Fred Weasley and George Weasley, the twin brothers, were holding a flyer, their eyes gleaming with excitement.

Virtual reality technology has the ability to complement the idealistic magic of wizards.

The school board members value this very much.

Since they were willing, Roger had no reason to refuse.

Anyway, there was no harm in it, and his path to eternal life could have another boost. Roger was not a person who liked to hog everything; he always believed that everyone benefiting would lead to better development.

After the school board meeting ended, within a couple of days, the school board members coordinated everything, and Roger's recruitment officially began.

Some seventh-year students were indeed a bit confused about where to go in the future, after all, not everyone has good conditions.

However, somewhat different from Roger's expectations, those graduating students who didn't know where to make a living didn't immediately flock to join Roger's business after seeing Roger's conditions.

Although Roger offered high pay, the 48-hour work duration in the virtual world every day really scared off a group of people.

For those without much ambition, rather than working their butts off to earn more and accumulate the first pot of gold for their future journey, they preferred to slack off and earn enough money to live on.

On the contrary, some top students who were preparing for their N.E.W.T.s and didn't have to worry about their future were more interested in Roger's subspace magic technology company.

They believed that the wizarding world had been too dull and lifeless in recent years, lacking some fresh things.

And Roger's virtual reality might be a sunrise industry worth fighting for. Because of the agreement with Dumbledore at the beginning, in order to prevent the young wizards from causing trouble, most students at school did not know that Roger could open up to seven times the speed, and in the future, it may even reach an extremely terrifying hundred times the speed.

So their evaluation of virtual reality was not as exaggerated as the school board, but they were also willing to bet their future and youth on it.

There is no shortage of insightful people among wizards. Roger's recruitment was aimed at seventh-year students, but many students from other grades were also interested.

Among them were the Weasley twins, Fred Weasley and George Weasley.

However, George and Fred didn't come for reasons like future prospects; they just liked novel things and felt that creating a nearly real world with their own hands was incredibly cool!

Regarding the two's expectations, Roger gave the same answer as he did to other lower-grade job seekers: "No. It's not your time to do these things yet."

Before Roger could finish his stock speech, Fred opened his mouth and said: "Please, it's okay if we don't get hired, let us do something, we really want to play and contribute to your business!"

“Play?” Under Roger's squinting gaze, Fred squeezed out a reluctant smile, and George behind him couldn't help but pat him on the back.

Roger looked at the two brothers, recalled their extraordinary talents shown when they were very young, pondered for a moment, and nodded: "It is impossible for you to be hired. I don't think you are the type to bury your heads in those boring and hard work anyway."

“If you just want to experience what the virtual world looks like in the eyes of a developer, that’s fine.” As he spoke, Roger took out the Creative Mode plugin and handed it to them.

Since they liked to play, let them mess around, maybe there would be unexpected gains?

After receiving Roger's plugin, the two thanked him and walked away happily, not knowing what they were going to do.

Roger didn't care too much.

He still had other things to busy himself with.

Today, Dumbledore sent a message asking him to come over and talk to him, saying he had something to say to him.

This was rare; usually, Roger went to Dumbledore, not Dumbledore taking the initiative to find Roger.

Knocking on the door of the headmaster's office, Roger found that Dumbledore's expression was a bit strange.

“Headmaster Dumbledore, is there anything you need me for?” Roger vaguely felt something was wrong.

Dumbledore hesitated for a few seconds, and then said: ", Roger, do you still remember what I told you before?"

“Of course, is there something wrong with the reform?” Although the outside world was buzzing, with major media, and even foreign wizarding media frequently reporting on this matter, Roger hadn’t paid much attention.

“The reform has basically been declared a failure, or rather, it has not been completely successful.” Dumbledore's expression turned a little embarrassed.

“Some old and inappropriate laws have been changed, but some new, possibly more dangerous laws have been proposed. This judicial reform has long become a feast for the various departments of the Ministry of Magic to fight for power and profit.”

“Oh.” Roger's reaction was very calm.

In history, there have been many people who wanted to change the law, but few have successfully moved towards a better state. Often, making some modifications to maintain the status quo is good enough, as long as you are not backlashed by the reform.

He had always felt that Grindelwald's plundering of the Department of Mysteries was not enough to set off a truly meaningful reform trend.

“You also know that most of the various departments of the Ministry of Magic are actually representatives of the interests of pure-blood families and powerful wizards within the officialdom.”

“And some pure-blood families, their power is like an octopus, and they have already extended their tentacles to all walks of life, including even—Hogwarts.”

Dumbledore took a big detour, but Roger still understood the general meaning of what he wanted to express.

“What did the school board people do?” Roger frowned slightly.

“Several families on the school board are among the winners of this power struggle, making a fortune.”

“And they particularly appreciate you and the virtual reality technology you have mastered.”

“So—”

Dumbledore couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth when he said this, and then took out a letter.

“In order to allow your virtual reality industry to develop better and without restrictions, they have fought for a bit of power for you.”

Roger looked down, and the envelope read 'To Roger Virgil, Director of the Ministry of Magic, Department of Magical Sports and Games, Virtual Reality Industry Office'.

When Roger opened the envelope and looked at the specific content of the letter, Dumbledore's words hadn't stopped.

“Several pure-blood families and some wizards have jointly established a department under the Department of Magical Sports and Games, which on the surface is on par with departments such as the Official Gobstones Club and the Joke Product Patent Office.”

“But in reality, as long as it is something related to virtual reality, you have absolute rights. You only need to be responsible to the Minister of Magic, and apart from the Minister of Magic and the higher legislative body, the Wizengamot, no other department can interfere with your affairs.”

In other words, from now on, Roger ‘is both an athlete and a referee’.

“By the way, Fudge's relationship has also been taken care of.”

Recalling what the school board members said with smiling faces at the school board meeting a few days ago, 'We will do our best to support you'. And looking at the letter of appointment in the envelope.

Roger couldn't help but look up at Dumbledore: “...Is this reasonable?”
