"One hundred Galleons for a pint!" Ron's face was pale, but his voice was as high as a soprano.
Kong Nuo nodded, "Yes. But the difficulty of the levels is progressive, so if you want to get a pint of venom, you have to pass at least three levels."
"Professor Kong! How many levels are there?" Hermione asked.
Kong Nuo said: "There are seven levels in total, and the number of giant acromantia will vary."
Hermione frowned, looked at the four glass bottles on the table, and continued to ask: "Professor Kong! We can actually cooperate, right? If we choose to cooperate, will the difficulty increase?"
"Of course we can cooperate." Kong Nuo said, "The difficulty will indeed increase, mainly in the number of acromantulas. So you'd better think carefully."
"Although this kind of improvement is only an increase in quantity, quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes. If there is insufficient tacit understanding, it will be even more difficult to complete more levels."
Both Hermione and Harry looked at Ron, and Harry asked in a concerned tone, "Why don't you just give up? When I finish the level, I'll give you the venom!"
They all knew how much Ron was afraid of giant spiders, after all, it was a childhood shadow.
A child's favorite toy turned into a big spider with its teeth and claws under the prank of his brother.
Whoever sees the spider from now on will recall this unbearable experience.
"No!" Ron shook his head, "If I didn't rely on myself to obtain the venom, then I'm not qualified to have it!"
Kong Nuo looked at the trio with a smile and asked, "So are you going to act alone?"
Hermione and Harry still shook their heads, "No! We're going to act with Ron! If we were here, Ron might not be so scared!"
"Very good!" Kong Nuo crossed his arms, "What about you? Neville, are you going to act alone?"
Hermione was observing Kong Nuo's expression, and she found that Kong Nuo had a joking look towards them, but when he looked at Neville, he looked very calm.
Hermione felt familiar with this kind of calm look. In Charms class, Professor Flitwick would look at her when he watched her practice charms.
The calm eyes represented peace of mind, and it represented that Kong Nuo had great confidence in Neville.
Just as Hermione was thinking, Neville made his own choice. He looked at Ron with some concern, "If it's convenient, can I join?"
Harry greeted with a smile, "If you'd like to join us, we'd be very happy!"
Hermione expressed a different point of view, "Neville, you don't have to accommodate us."
After a period of negotiation, the four finally decided to complete the exam together.
"Are you sure?" Kong Nuo asked again, "If there are too many people, differences will easily arise later!"
The four of them shook their heads in unison, "No way! We've already thought about it!"
"Okay! The four of you act together...I'm looking forward to your performance!" Kong Nuo handed them the things on the table.
He gave one last warning, "See that red envelope at the end? If you are in danger, tear it open, and the acromantula won't attack again."
"However, after you tear open the envelope, it also means that your exam is over. Don't be brave, and don't use magic that you are not familiar with, so as not to let someone empty your bones again!"
The four nodded in unison, and under Hermione's reminder, they put the red envelope where it was most accessible, ensuring that it could be torn open immediately.
Neville pulled the tab of the trapdoor, facing darkness.
Harry had the experience of being held hostage by Quirrell, so he knew what was under the trapdoor, "It's deep down, but there are devil vines under it, let's jump straight down!"
"No!" Hermione stopped Harry, who was about to act, "Professor Kong will choose the location here, and he must have changed the surrounding environment. We should be careful! Don't go down rashly!"
"Indeed, you should be careful." Neville took out two locust stones from his pocket, and after shaking off the locust stones, it took a while to hear a clear and faint sound.
"Throwing stones to ask for directions!" Hermione explained to Harry and Ron who were confused. "Have you forgotten? In addition to attacking and sneak attacking, hidden weapons can also be used to find the way forward."
Harry and the others had red ears. With Neville's demonstration and Hermione's explanation, they are now quite impressed.
Neville said: "There are no devil vines below. If there is something cushioned, the locust stone will not make such a crisp sound."
He turned the rucksack behind him and pulled out a bundle of rope.
"Why is there a rope in the bag!" Harry and Ron asked in unison.
"Because this is a comprehensive exam." Neville tied one end of the rope to the pull ring of the trapdoor. "I just heard it when Fred and the others were training Ron."
"So I was thinking that if it is a comprehensive exam, I will definitely combine the content of this school year and even the previous school year, so I prepared for this."
"Wait a minute!" Hermione chanted the fire spell and threw a ball of fire down first. "Harry said just now that there are devil vines. In order to prevent the devil vines from shrinking due to photophobia, I didn't use magic for lighting."
"Sure enough, there is nothing below. If there is no rope Neville brought, we can only tie the robes together to make a rope!"
Harry and Ron kept their mouths shut the whole time, and stood aside to study silently. They felt that their understanding of actual combat was improving rapidly.
Kong Nuo watched the four finally disappear from the trapdoor, with a smile on his face.
Hermione's theoretical knowledge is very solid, she considers problems comprehensively, and has a strong ability to adapt to changing situations.
As Connor's key focus, Neville knew that Neville was usually timid.
Only in the face of subjects that he is good at, Neville will show confidence, as well as the cautiousness extended from the combination of confidence and timidity.
As for Harry and Ron, Connor can only say that these two people are indeed still children, and they have to take a step forward.
At least their trust in their classmates, as well as their attitude of daring to face danger and not abandoning their companions, is worthy of affirmation.
Following Kong Nuo's initial evaluation, the four of them went underground very smoothly, ready to officially start the exam.
As Hermione guessed, Konno had indeed remodeled the underground corridor, and those surveillance magics could transfer the exam process to the magic projector.
At the same time, those giant eight-eyed spiders have also been modified. Their large claws and poison sacs are not connected, ensuring the safety of the candidates.
Harry and the others would suffer physical damage at most. As long as this kind of damage was not dealt with indiscriminately, with Madam Pomfrey, it was a potion or a magic thing.
Kong Nuo nodded, "Yes. But the difficulty of the levels is progressive, so if you want to get a pint of venom, you have to pass at least three levels."
"Professor Kong! How many levels are there?" Hermione asked.
