#787 - Tom, you are out of date (asking for monthly ticket recommendation ticket)

After contacting several teammates, Percy and Harry revealed their speculation.

Wood, who was in the same team, didn't delay upon hearing this and immediately rushed to the common room to meet up with them.

After some discussion, the two decided that Wood should first exchange a special product from the dungeon, and then give it to Harry's team, so that they could enter the dungeon the next day to try it out.

To see if, as they expected, they could really share equipment and bring it into the dungeon.

The reason for letting Wood exchange first was mainly because he had a higher rating in [Despair Town], with 253 points, which could barely be exchanged for two dungeon props.

Subsequently, Wood exchanged a [Blessed Fire Axe] on the spot under the gaze of everyone.

The way to cash it was also very magical. As soon as Wood selected the reward, a crack opened in the void in front of him, and then a fire axe fell out of thin air, landing right in Wood's hand.

Weighing the axe in his hand, and confirming that it was no different from the one in [Despair Town], he handed it to Harry, "Take it, whether everyone can successfully take down [Despair Town] next depends on this attempt."

After taking the fire axe, Harry vigilantly surveyed the surroundings in a serious manner, and breathed a sigh of relief after finding that no strange dog popped out to tell him not to do this.

"If it really works, then you guys will really be a great help!" Harry clenched the axe excitedly. They have been tortured by the new dungeon for nearly a month. For a long time, they have not seen anyone who can successfully clear the dungeon, which has almost made everyone despair.

"Don't just concentrate all your attention on challenging the dungeon. The Quidditch game will start in November, and we will have to prepare for intensive training next."

Wood shook his head helplessly. Since there have been more dungeons in the school, Quidditch is no longer as popular as it used to be. The players under him discuss dungeons, monsters, and equipment all day long.

"Uh... I almost forgot if you didn't mention it." Harry scratched his head awkwardly. He almost forgot that he was still the Seeker of the Gryffindor team.

The emergence of this situation also represents that Anduin's dungeon strategy has begun to take effect. Once dungeon entertainment is officially opened to the entire wizarding world, it will inevitably hit the Quidditch industry market.

But now everyone obviously hasn't realized the seriousness of this matter, and even the little wizards don't think there is anything wrong with it.

And after everyone gradually dispersed, there was still one person left in the corner of the lounge, it was Ginny.

She glanced around, and after confirming that everyone had left, she leaned against the corner of the lounge and took out a very old notebook from her body.

Before the start of school, Ginny accidentally found such a strange notebook among the teaching aids she purchased for some reason.

This did not arouse Ginny's vigilance. She just thought that it was stuffed to her by one of her brothers or parents.

But when she used it for the first time, she found that this notebook had a mystery. As long as she wrote content on it, she could get a response from the notebook.

This discovery made Ginny very novel, and after a period of contact, she found that the Tom Riddle who communicated with her was not only knowledgeable but also very humorous.

So it didn't take long for Ginny to regard the other party as a good friend only she knew.

"Tom, are you still there?" Ginny wrote on the blank space of the book.

"Yes, Ginny..."

Ginny's words on the notebook slowly faded away, and at the same time, a graceful handwriting slowly appeared on the page.

"Do you know how to make [Baruffio's Brain Elixir]?"

In the discussion just now, Ginny was not very interested in those equipment props. She already had a lot of alchemy items in her hand, and in her opinion, if she wanted any alchemy props, she could just ask her godfather for them.

At the same time, she had just entered school, and she had not yet learned all the basic spells, so she had no idea about those rare spells.

In comparison, [Baruffio's Brain Elixir] was obviously more important to her. Ginny thought that if she could prepare [Baruffio's Brain Elixir], she would definitely impress her godfather.

"That's natural."

From the handwriting that reappeared, you could see Tom Riddle's confidence, and then the page listed the materials needed to boil [Baruffio's Brain Elixir] and the production process.

"Although this potion is powerful, it is easy to make mistakes if you are not careful, and it is difficult to visually distinguish between defective products and genuine products. If you accidentally take it by mistake, it can easily cause irreparable consequences."

In addition to the boiling method, Tom Riddle also thoughtfully pointed out the problems that are prone to occur when making this potion.

"Thank you, Tom, you know so much." After getting the answer from the notebook, Ginny was not stingy with her praise.

"You're welcome, we are friends, aren't we?"

Tom replied kindly, and then continued.

"This potion is not worth mentioning to me, let alone [Baruffio's Brain Elixir], I know more complicated and more effective potions, if you want, I can teach you all, and even help you prepare them."

Looking at Tom's tempting words, Ginny couldn't help but wonder, "Help me? How can you help me? You don't have a real body."

"I can support you." Tom's words were full of endless guidance, "Guide your body, and make it for you hand in hand, of course... I just want to help you."

"Support? Hand in hand?"

Ginny frowned in confusion, she didn't understand what Tom meant, and at the same time she felt like something was wrong.

But soon she threw it behind her and continued to ask, "You said you know a lot of potion making methods, then do you know the kind of potion that can enhance a wizard's physique?"

"Of course!" Tom did not continue the previous topic, and replied truthfully, "I know more than one potion that can strengthen the physique, the best one can last for several days!"

"Can only last for a few days? What about potions that permanently enhance physique?"

"Hehe..." Tom's onomatopoeia appeared on the page, as if he really laughed, "How can there be potions in this world that can permanently strengthen physique, Ginny, I know your imagination is very rich, but it should be placed in a more practical place."

"Who said there isn't, my godfather has such a potion in his hand, which can not only enhance physique, but also strengthen strength and agility."

"That's impossible!" Tom refuted categorically, "Your godfather must be lying to you, there is no such thing in this world."

"Yes, there is! And we can even exchange this potion!" Ginny rolled her eyes at the notebook, "It seems that you don't know everything, Tom, you are already outdated!"

"This..."

Tom was choked by Ginny and couldn't speak. He didn't expect that he, the dignified Dark Lord, would be ridiculed by a little girl.

"Okay, Tom." Ginny seemed to think that her words were a bit heavy, and comforted her in turn, "You don't have to be so disappointed, my godfather is the most powerful wizard in this world after all, it's not surprising that he knows some knowledge you don't know, you're just a little old, not really stupid."

Then Ginny introduced Tom to the rare spells and equipment she had just seen.

And every time she said a spell and prop, it made Tom silent for a long time.

"..."

Am I really old?

Tom felt blocked in his heart by Ginny's words. He had never been underestimated like this before, but he had never even heard of those strange spells and various props.

For a time, Tom began to doubt himself. Was he really old and out of tune with this world?

Of course, it's not his fault. The spells that Anduin put in the system are the Silver Spear Club's years of treasures, and the club has always hidden itself very deeply. It's normal not to know these spells.

Seeing that Tom hadn't replied for a long time, Ginny closed the notebook rather boringly.

After a long time of contact, she also found that this Tom Riddle was like an old antique from decades ago, and knew nothing about the new affairs in recent years.

"Okay, I won't embarrass you, I'll ask my godfather about these profound questions, I'm very happy if you can chat with me when you have nothing to do."

After giving Tom another blow, Ginny put it away and turned to study the [Baruffio's Brain Elixir] recipe she had just copied.

The next day, Harry's team excitedly entered [Despair Town] with the [Blessed Fire Axe].

The result was as they expected. This kind of exchanged temporary equipment could be brought into the dungeon and shared with other teams.

Even Hogg, who was in charge of guarding the gate outside the dungeon, did not come out to stop them after seeing the axe in their hands. Obviously, this was allowed from the beginning.

At the same time, with the help of sharp weapons, Harry's team also passed the second ring task of [Despair Town] for the first time.

Although they failed to officially clear the dungeon in the end, the effect of equipment blessing was very obvious, and after the challenge, the exchanged equipment could also be brought out.

If they can get more weapons, even low-grade students may be able to succeed.

After receiving this good news, the members of Percy's team did not hesitate at all, and immediately exchanged all the points in their hands for [Despair Town] special equipment, and very generously lent them to other members of the tactical club first.

The first to benefit from this were George, Fred, Cedric, and Qiu's team. As soon as they entered the dungeon, everyone had a fire axe, as well as sharp weapons such as [Simple Lantern] and [Amulet].

And they did not live up to everyone's expectations. The first challenge after getting the equipment successfully cleared the dungeon.

After coming out, the four also exchanged a batch of equipment to share with everyone. George and Fred even saved their points and exchanged two more powerful [Light Shield Flame Sword] after clearing the dungeon in the second week.

With the help of these equipment, coupled with the unity and mutual assistance among the club members, everyone's progress was amazing. Even Harry's team successfully cleared the dungeon after three weeks of trying.

And after successfully clearing the dungeon, Harry's team did not forget the club partners who had been supporting them. They gave priority to exchanging attribute potions for their points to help those partners whose attributes had not yet met the standards.

Finally, with everyone's concerted efforts, a month later, the old club members, including Ron, met the conditions for entering the dungeon.

So far, Ron has officially returned to the team, and Draco has been able to reunite with the old team members again.

One day more than half a month later.

Ron, Hermione, and Neville, who had already changed into autumn clothes, were walking out of the castle happily.

However, this time they were not going to challenge the dungeon, but to participate in the first Quidditch game of this school year at Hogwarts.

"Can't you be more careful? Ron?" On the way, Hermione kept complaining to Ron, "If you could have revived Neville in time last time, we wouldn't have let the Mother of Plague destroy the Exorcism Book."

"How can you blame me for this? The place where the Exorcism Book was released is so far away from the resurrection point. I have tried my best to hurry."

Ron put his hands behind his head and muttered helplessly.

"It's really not Ron's fault." Neville persuaded at this time, "It's all my fault that I was surrounded and killed by those demon servants."

"Isn't it his fault?" Hermione didn't know why, but she was particularly angry today, "We haven't made a mistake once before he returned to the team. If it weren't for his dropping the chain halfway, I would have been able to exchange [Explosive Lava] by now."

"Humph!" Ron didn't give Hermione a good look either, "In that case, you can go to your favorite former teammate Draco, so that you won't say that I'm holding you back."

"I'm doing this for your own good. Every opportunity to clear the dungeon is hard to come by. Have you ever thought about how many points we will lose?"

"Points, points, you only have points in your eyes, and you don't know how to help others more. I know to exchange my points for attribute potions for Ginny. Why do you only care about yourself?"

"You still have the nerve to say me. If it weren't for Harry and me, could your attributes have been improved so quickly? You really don't know how to work hard at all!"

The two quarreled more and more fiercely, and in the end they even glared at each other, as if they were about to fight at any time.

"Okay, stop arguing, Ron! Hermione!"

Seeing that the situation was not good, Neville quickly stepped forward and pulled the two apart.

He was also very puzzled now. In the past month, Ron and Hermione didn't know what was going on, but their tempers were much more irritable than before. If they were not careful, they would quarrel with others.

Even Neville himself felt that his mentality was affected, and he was always inexplicably irritable.

But after a quarrel, Ron and Hermione were still not relieved. Looking at their appearance, it seemed that they couldn't wait to find a place to single out on the spot.

Seeing this, Neville could only helplessly stand between the two and dragged them towards the Quidditch pitch.

After approaching the Quidditch pitch, Neville found that there didn't seem to be as many people coming to watch the game today as he had imagined.

But this is not surprising. Most of the little wizards are now addicted to dungeons. Even if they don't play by themselves, they will gather in the training square to watch live broadcasts.
