Chapter 5 The Wand and the Grocer's First Guest

After a few chats, Hermione chose her wand and ran over from the counter: Dad, look I have a wand. Then she saw Ryan, and asked in surprise, Ryan? Gwarts?

yes.

At this time, Mr. Granger and Mr. Lambert finished greeting, pulled Hermione and said, There are still a lot of things on the list that I haven't bought. I think we have to hurry up. Then he said goodbye to Ryan and his son and left. Wand shop.

After saying goodbye to the Grangers, Ryan came to the counter. He found a spirited old man standing behind the counter. This should be Mr. Ollivander. He had a pair of light-colored eyes. The store looks like two moons.

Hello, I'm Ryan Liang. I'm going to Hogwarts this year and need a wand. Ryan greeted nervously.

Oh, a newbie, let me see what kind of wand is right for you. Ollivander took a tape measure from his pocket. Which arm do you use to make the wand?

Uh, it should be the right hand, Ryan replied.

The tape measure now wrapped around Ryan like a cane and began to automatically measure the data of each part of the body. Ollivander took this opportunity to get some boxes from the back cabinet. Wands are not mass-produced, each one is unique, so I need to test to find the right user for my wand.

The tape measure quickly finished measuring the body data and rolled into a ball under Ryan's feet. Then, Mr. Lane, try this wand. Made of ebony and unicorn hair. Eight and a half inches long. Very flexible.

Lane waved, and a box suddenly flew out of the cabinet, almost hitting him on the head.

It seems that the probability of hitting the bullseye the first time is not high.

Then try this again, holly, snake nerve, 11 inches long

...

When testing the seventh wand, as soon as he held the handle of the wand, Ryan felt a warm current suddenly spread through his hand, and some sparks shot out from the head of the wand.

Ah, great, you fit this wand very well, said Mr. Ollivander with a smile.

He put the wand in a long case, wrapped it in brown paper, and said, Pine, phoenix feather, twelve inches long, a wand that's very picky about its owner, you're lucky.

After paying Ollivander eight Galleons, Ryan and his father left the wand shop.

After some shopping, there were only more than 70 Galleons left. Considering that Hogwarts had room and board, so much money was enough for the school.

Finally, they called a cab out of the Leaky Cauldron and headed home with a big bag of stuff.

During the afternoon tea time, Ms. Sally kept asking the two father and son what they had seen and heard today. It took them a lot of effort to calm the curiosity of the boss at home. While eating the scones, Mr Lambert asked Lane: Do you think wizards have the pen to write their own novels?

Lane suddenly thought of the reporter's quill pen in the fifth grade, and said: I think wizards can make their pens move, and there may even be automatic correction pens, but Dad, you can write what you want. I don't think there will be a pen for a novel. After listening to Mr. Lambert, he shook his head in disappointment.

...

During the holidays that followed, Ryan immersed himself in the study of a large number of textbooks at hand, occasionally going to the nearby park or to Hermione Lolita at a fast food restaurant to discuss problems with reading books. Seriously, Ryan thought about staying away from the protagonists, but then he thought that as an eleven-year-old child, after knowing that he was going to a strange place, he began to distance himself from the only acquaintance who could go together. It's better to just let it go in the future.

Since this period is the only time before adulthood that you can cast spells in the non-magical world, Ryan has used all the spells in the book in the past twenty days. Unfortunately, only some very simple spells can be used.

It seems that magic spells can't be used just by knowing the spells, and it's the same reason that you can't practice peerless martial arts just by reading the cheats.

On the last night before heading to Hogwarts, Ryan packed his bags and got ready to go to bed early. Suddenly, the system in my mind heard a beep.

When a guest comes to your door, please do a good job in reception——

Ryan immediately got up and packed up. After thinking about it, I put some of the magic plant seeds purchased in Diagon Alley in a bag together with the cultivation manual, and chose to go to the grocery store.

Entering the grocery store, Ryan found that there was no change from the last time he left, except that there was another glass bottle next to the flowerpot on the shelf, which contained a large number of golden particles the size of soybean grains.

Take the bottle. A message came.

——Sunlight Crystal, a special product of small planting bases, light-producing plants produce one every two hours. Can be used to catalyze plant growth and provide sunlight.

——Using method, it is necessary to bury the plant roots and meet the water and fertilizer needs when urging. When you need sunlight, soak the crystals in water, which can provide one hour of equatorial noon sunlight within a radius of five meters. Of course, if you pinch it, you can get a burst of five times the brightness of sunlight in three seconds.

Previously, Lane asked the system to plant new plants in his yard, because zombies would not be interested when the house was empty, so except for the outermost pea shooter, the sun mushrooms and sunflowers were planted in half in other places. Now that the small yard is full, it can produce more than 100 sunshine crystals a day.

After reading the new items, Ryan sat behind the counter and let the system let the guests in. The air at the door distorted, and a middle-aged white man in a heavy fur coat walked in. This man had thick snow on his shoulders, as if he had just come from the ice and snow.

When the man entered, perhaps feeling a little hot, he unbuttoned himself, and Lane found that he was wearing a gorgeous Victorian gown.

When he saw Ryan behind the counter, he showed an unbelievable expression and paused in his footsteps, but he finally walked to the counter and said with a serious face: My child, my people and I are in trouble, when we are about to When I was in despair, I was guided here by the voice in the shadows, and I hope that fate did not play a cruel joke on me.

Lane said: Can you tell me what went wrong? Only by knowing what happened, I can be sure if I can help you.

The middle-aged man began to describe the dilemma he faced, from his words London, global cooling, steam core and winter home. Ryan knew right away that this uncle came from the Winter Home in the previous game, Ice Age. They were the people who chose to leave in a dreadnought after the explosion of the energy tower. But the difficulty of this transfer was beyond expectations, and they now lack all the resources they need.

Hearing this, Ryan began to recommend the plants in his hands to the uncle: I have three plants here, two can produce sunlight during the day and night, and the other can produce 7-10 adult fists per day under normal circumstances. Large peas, grated and each pea makes pea soup for an adult for a day.

After listening to the detailed introduction, the middle-aged man grabbed Ryan's hand excitedly and kept thanking him. After he calmed down a bit, Ryan asked, I'm asking for an equivalent exchange here. What are you going to exchange with me?

The middle-aged man was stunned: We were in a hurry when we left the UK. We only brought survival supplies and no money.

Ryan looked at the valuation table given by the system and said, I can't use your banknotes either. I have a wide range of payment methods here, from precious metals, materials to technology. The things I provide can save your lives. Correspondingly , you should also come up with something of similar value.

The man thought for a while and said, You give me the seedlings and breeding techniques of these three plants, and I will exchange them with you for our most critical difference engine, energy tower and robot technology.

Deal, although your technology tree is completely different from mine, I'm sure I can't use it myself. As soon as Ryan's voice fell, a space door appeared beside the man, and a golden band of light flowed out. , turned into a book on an empty shelf with a gold cover and the Winter Home Industrial Handbook written on it.

After confirming the receipt of the payment, Ryan put all the plants and a book in a bag and handed it to the middle-aged man. At the same time, he handed over the bottle full of sunshine crystals: It takes time for plants to grow and grow, you can use this to save the day.

The middle-aged man's eyes were a little wet, and he took out an exquisite gold case pocket watch from his arms and put it in Ryan's hand. Thank you for your help, this is the most precious thing in me, I hope to express my gratitude to you.

After he finished speaking, he bowed to Ryan, turned and left with a large cloth bag containing plants.

At this time, a sound came from the system——

You saved a city, changed fate, gained 3 offset points—

Offset point? what is this?

Lane looked at the system display panel and found that in addition to the connected world, the data column of offset point was added.

It turned out that as long as his actions affected the original fate of a certain world, different numbers of offset points could be obtained depending on the degree and the world.

Offset points can be used to randomly open doors to a world or directionally open doors to the world of guests who have come to the grocery store, and can also be used to master power. In the grocery store, the general knowledge material obtained from the transaction can be instilled in Ryan's brain for free. But in terms of extraordinary power, the greater the difference between the extraordinary power and the world where Ryan is, the more offset points are needed for fast learning.

For example, if Ryan wants to learn inner strength, it takes time and luck to learn only by reading books and explanations. After using the offset point, he can master it instantly.

After figuring out the purpose of the offset point, Ryan opened a space door and went to the world of Plants vs. Zombies to hand over the previously promised magical plant seeds to the crazy Dave.

Ten minutes later, Ryan appeared in the grocery store empty-handed, because Dave said that he could only decide what to pay if he was sure of the purpose of these seeds, but fortunately, the system prompted that his seeds provided inspiration for Dave's new plant development. , so 1 offset point is obtained.

After all this was done, Ryan left the grocery store and went back to his bed, waiting for the time to head to Hogwarts the next day.
