Chapter 238 Huge Harvest and Year-End Dinner
After completing today's quota of book scanning, Yang Tian took the unrecognizable Star Bible that he had asked for from Dumbledore and hurried back to his dormitory. He really wanted to know what kind of surprise this silverfish could bring him. After jumping onto the bed, Yang Tian closed his eyes and communicated with the little guy in his mind.
Although the bookfish is intelligent, it has a simple mind and lives in different books all its life, so its memory is naturally empty except for books.
After a series of warm offensives, the silverfish finally stopped panicking and had the desire to talk. Therefore, Yang Tian also completely understood the horror of this little guy. How to say it? Eight words are the most appropriate to describe it: well-read in ancient and modern times, and well-versed in both Chinese and Western learning. Yang Tian was really curious about what this little guy had experienced in his life.
Poetry, songs, biography, history, geography, painting... etc. There are too many worldly books, covering everything. What makes Yang Tian laugh and cry is that he can even find the eight-part essays that have been praised and criticized in the history of his previous life from the memory of the bookworm...
Of course, there are many books on cultivation, and what is even more strange is that the little guy actually has many core secrets of the family and sect in his memory, which makes Yang Tian sweat! For example: Shangqing Sect's "Yin Yang Eyes", "Five Ghosts Soul Exorcist Technique", Xiangxi's "Corpse Driving Secret Technique", Tianshi Mansion's "Golden Light Curse"... and so on. Even the Yang family's "Detailed Explanation of Ice Talismans" is in this little guy's memory. That is one of the core talisman making techniques of the Yang family!
However, compared with these secret books about "techniques", what really shocked Yang Tian were the books basically related to "Tao":
"Star Classics" is an ancient astronomy book that uses stars to enter the Tao. Although the book does not introduce the stars in the sky in detail, it contains a complete set of exercises to use the energy of stars to cultivate the body of stars and eventually enter the Tao. Yang Tian was both envious and unfamiliar with it; this is quite different from the astronomy he currently knows!
"Alchemy Classics" is a method of refining all the elixirs in the world, using the strange energy emitted when the elixir is completed as a guide to temper oneself and eventually enter the Tao. However... not to mention that there are not many elixir recipes... there is also a condition that the more excellent the elixir recipe, the more abundant the divine energy; the improvement of ordinary elixir recipes is extremely limited...
The Five Elements Chaos Sutra uses the five elements as the basis to refine one's own Dantian and form a five-element chaos body. Once you enter the Dao with this, you can transform the five elements into chaos and quickly increase your strength. But... I am ten elements, not just five elements...
The last one is the most mysterious! Because... this book has only 28 characters, and Yang Tian doesn't recognize any of them! On that day, the reason why he said this book was amazing was not because he didn't recognize the characters; but when Yang Tian looked at these characters carefully, he inexplicably felt a mysterious feeling, as if it was there and not there...
These books are of course profound, but the one that Yang Tian is most satisfied with and most in need of is a book called "Star Picking Technique". The so-called Star Picking Technique does not mean that one can really pick stars; rather, when a practitioner forms a bond with the stars, he can draw on the power of the stars in the night battle to double the damage of his spell attacks...
As more and more books poured into Yang Tian's mind and merged with his original memories, Yang Tian soon felt dizzy. But he didn't care about these details. At this time, he was no longer a simple person, and he had sufficient confidence in the strength of his soul.
What he didn't expect was that when the last bit of the fish's memory was shared with Yang Tian, the cold mechanical voice of the intelligent computer sounded again: "Ding, the data collection of Chinese studies has been completed, and the Chinese studies system has been modeled. In the next three days, the system will be upgraded as necessary, please be patient."
Yang Tian... can you still finish entering the books in the restricted section before leaving Hogwarts? Alas, it's painful and joyful...
Just when Yang Tian was still worrying about the problem of entering the forbidden book area, the year-end dinner arrived as scheduled, and many young wizards also rushed to the auditorium chatting and laughing...
The hall had already changed its appearance. The blue and bronze background filled the whole hall, which was the color of Ravenclaw. Banners with eagles of wisdom were hung all over the walls of the hall...
The young wizards from other colleges were not surprised by this change. According to the score hourglass, Ravenclaw was undoubtedly the college with the highest score, and it seemed that the college cup would definitely belong to them...
This made the young eagles and Professor Flitwick very excited. They had not won this award for a long time. As the young eagles were excitedly greeting each other, the dinner quietly began...
"Another year has passed!" Dumbledore said happily, "Before you enjoy the delicious dishes, you must listen to an old man's clichés."
"Whether you are a freshman who has only studied for one school year or have lived in Hogwarts for many years, I believe that no one will deny that this is an extremely wonderful year! This year, you have witnessed the rapid development of Transfiguration, the strong resurgence of astronomy, and the capture of the soul of the Dark Lord... Of course, you have also witnessed the rumors flying around and the fear of losing the opportunity to continue studying in Hogwarts..."
The old headmaster blinked mischievously before continuing, "So here, I must make it clear that Hogwarts will not give up any motivated little wizard. Maybe their qualifications are inferior, maybe they are a little naughty and playful, but these are not reasons for us to give up on them."
"As for why I have not clarified the rumors and have chosen to remain silent... it is because this is a test and spur for you!" Dumbledore smiled and looked around: "In the face of difficulties and setbacks, can you maintain firm beliefs and courage? I am very happy to see that you have all passed this test."
The applause rang out like thunder, and the faces of the little wizards were filled with smiles of excitement and relief.
Dumbledore continued, "I think that, apart from the information related to this rumor, the most important thing that everyone is most concerned about is undoubtedly the winner of the House Cup. Everyone knows the specific scores of each house: Gryffindor, 258 points; Hufflepuff 355 points; Slytherin 460 points; Ravenclaw 477 points."
The Ravenclaw table immediately erupted in thunderous cheers, and everyone clapped their hands in celebration. Even Professor Flitwick was shaking with excitement...
But at this moment...
"Yes, yes, very well done, Ravenclaw." Dumbledore continued, "However, several things that happened recently should actually be taken into account."
The hall suddenly became very quiet, and the Ravenclaws' smiles faded a little.
"Well, here's the situation." Dumbledore continued to keep the suspense: "After my careful calculations, I found a problem. Even after adding the scores for these things, the rankings of each college will not change at all! So, forget it? Who cares?" After saying that, the old headmaster winked playfully.
"Tsk~! Haha." The little wizards below were all laughing like crazy, and the little eagles breathed a sigh of relief.
Dumbledore also waved his hand and said, "Now, let's enjoy this beautiful night!"
The banquet officially begins...
The ribbons were flying, and the rich food appeared on the long table in an instant. The little wizards laughed and talked happily, sharing every bit of the school year. Yang Tian also joined in, sharing his interesting stories with his friends...
Yang Tian certainly knew that the crisis was not far away and that heavy challenges lay ahead. But at this moment, at this year-end dinner full of magic and warmth, he was willing to enjoy this rare relaxing time...
