#184 - Bring Beng Beng home
Malfoy's arrogant attitude had actually subsided somewhat recently.
Ever since he was directly petrified by Moon on the stairs, and Slytherin lost a large number of house points.
Malfoy hadn't dared to cause Moon any trouble, and he wasn't even as arrogant towards Harry and Ron as before.
But today, when he discovered that Snape's attitude towards Moon was completely different, Malfoy felt as if someone had touched his little cupcake.
Now, in the school, the only things that allow Malfoy to maintain his arrogant capital, besides his prominent family background, are Snape's special favors.
But what happened today made Malfoy unable to understand why Snape would show such great kindness to a little lion.

“Don't tell me you picked two dandelions from the wild and are going to sell them to Slug \u0026 Jiggers Apothecary.”
Malfoy's verbal attack continued.
Just now, the little lions' voices were inevitably a little louder because they were excited to talk, and Malfoy also heard the name of the pharmacy.
“Malfoy, don't underestimate people. Moon is a member of Professor Sprout's Herbology Club.”
Hermione retorted directly after hearing Malfoy's words.
And the expression on her face was very fierce, like a little lion about to explode.
Malfoy was stunned for a moment. He never thought that Hermione would be so tough today.
Not only was Malfoy surprised, but Ron, Harry, and the others were also curious about Hermione's unusual behavior today.
“Herbology Club? Could it be that you didn't pick herbs, but wanted to steal the herbs from the club and sell them?”
Hearing Malfoy's increasingly outrageous words, Moon stopped indulging him.
Stopping other friends who wanted to speak, Moon walked directly towards him.
“Actually, I don’t mind getting detention again.”
Moon said, drawing his wand as he spoke.
Malfoy never thought that Moon wouldn't even bother to explain, and went straight into battle mode.
“You… what are you going to do? Goyle, Crabbe…”
Malfoy took two steps back unconsciously, constantly calling out to his cronies.
But when the two little snakes, who were even taller than him, saw Moon take out his wand, they ran out of the classroom.
Last time, Moon was able to hit Malfoy even with Snape's obstruction, which made them very clear that they would not be opponents at all.
“Don't be so scared, it's just that my spells have improved a lot recently, and I want to find someone to test them out.”
Moon said, continuing to stare at him with burning eyes.
The little wizard was already pale with fright.
Malfoy's courage wasn't great, especially after knowing that Moon's strength far exceeded his, he didn't even dare to take out his wand now.
“Moon Scarlett! What are you doing!”
When Moon forced Malfoy into the corner, Snape's voice sounded again.
Goyle and Crabbe didn't run away after leaving, but went directly to Snape.
“It's nothing, Professor. Malfoy said I don't know how to do business and wanted to give me some pointers. I'm asking him for advice.”
Moon said, giving Snape a warm smile.
When Malfoy saw his savior arrive, he immediately ran behind Snape.
“Professor, it's him… he…”
“Stop talking! Do you want to be petrified again?”
When Snape was brewing potions last night, he had already seen Moon's spell strength.
Although he only saw Moon's [Levitation Charm], the spell power and duration were completely beyond what a first-year wizard could master.
This made Snape very clear that the first-year Malfoy would not be Moon's opponent at all, even with Goyle and Crabbe.
“That's really satisfying!”
Ron became very excited after watching Snape lead Malfoy and the others away.
This was the first time he had seen Malfoy suffer a loss, and he couldn't help but show admiration in his eyes after seeing Moon.
Moon didn't feel anything.
Since solving the two adult wizards who were disbelievers, Moon had lost any interest in bullying little wizards of the same grade.
If Malfoy hadn't taken the initiative to provoke him today, he wouldn't have scared him.
“I just hope he can learn a lesson and not provoke me again next time.”
Moon said indifferently.
“I don't think it's possible. He was bullied this time, and he might ask his father for help.”
The Weasley family knew the Malfoy family very well.
Although they were both pure-blood families, the relationship between the two families had never been good, and even the parents often fought when they met.
Because he was familiar enough, this also allowed Ron to roughly guess Malfoy's next plan.
“Is Malfoy's father very powerful?”
Moon didn't know the strength level of the Malfoy family in the British wizarding world, and couldn't help but be a little curious.
“Powerful is not the word, but they are very likely to disrupt your business.”
Through Ron's explanation, Moon learned that the Malfoy family had a good relationship with the current Minister of Magic through political donations.
And their business was also quite large, even involving some potion transactions.
“Is that all? Then there shouldn't be any big problems.”
If it was just business competition, Moon was not afraid of any family in the British wizarding world.
After all, what he possessed was all the cheap resources of another entire magical world.
There were even various rare materials that no longer existed in this world.
These were all resources that Moon possessed alone.
This small disturbance in the Potions class had no impact on Moon.
He still followed his plan, studying ancient magic every morning, doing combat training with the giant squid in the afternoon, and making collars in the evening.
On Saturday, Moon received an invitation from Cedric to observe and learn the preliminary refining process of the Little Cauldron Potion.
The refining of this potion would last for a month.
During this period, Cedric had to ensure that there were no mistakes, which was a big challenge for him.
It was also on this day that Moon got Cedric's second-year Potions textbook.
It contained many potion refining methods for treating various injuries, which was a good supplement to Moon's current potion knowledge.
After finishing his sparring session with the giant squid on Sunday night, Moon returned to his dormitory and packed up the various items he needed to bring.
The Invisibility Cloak had been placed in the suitcase early on, along with the Trace-Free Scent Pouch.
This was a secret weapon that Moon had successfully made after getting permission from Professor Sprout yesterday.
In addition, there was also the new version of the Fire Slug Fertilizer formula.
Through several days of continuous observation this week, Moon found that the new version of the fertilizer worked very well.
Not only could it allow ordinary crops to adapt, but it also contained a lot of magical energy.
This shortened the growth time of crops by half.
“The formula must be kept safe and handed over to Hall and the others when you go back.
Now that the food problem has been initially solved, Moon doesn't plan to continue spending effort on this matter.
It would be appropriate to hand it over to Hall and the others to try and experiment on their own.
Besides that, there are also 15 bottles of Sleeping Lotus fungal spores.
Cedric couldn't handle these little things and stuffed a few more bottles in while concocting potions.
For Muen, the more of these little things, the better, so he accepted them all without refusal.
In addition, there are monocles, wands...
Of course, the most important thing is Bouncy.
To make this little guy comfortable in another world, Muen specially put his tree-house into the suitcase.
“Chirp?” (How do we get there?)
“Hold my hand tightly for a while, and you'll be there after you wake up.”
“Chirp!” (I like sleeping!)
Bouncy wasn't that curious. After learning that he only needed to fall asleep, he directly curled up into a ball and stuffed himself into Muen's hand.
After midnight.
This time, returning was the same as usual for Muen, without any changes.
But Bouncy seemed a little unaccustomed.
When he reappeared in the room on the Crimson Moon, Bouncy staggered to his feet and leaned on Muen's hand for a long time.
“Chirp~” (Uncomfortable~)
It wasn't until ten minutes later that this little guy regained some energy.
“Could it be that bringing high-level creatures back causes adverse reactions to them?”
Muen couldn't help but be a little suspicious. He remembered bringing back a spider last time.
At that time, the spider didn't feel any discomfort. It jumped directly from his palm and burrowed into the cracks in the deck.
After a while, watching Bouncy curiously looking around, Muen's worries gradually disappeared.
“Maybe next time I can try bringing other creatures.”
Zalan was still guarding the room as usual. He had been watching Muen's return.
Especially the newly appeared dark and strange creature, which made Zalan even more surprised.
“This... what is this thing?”
Watching Bouncy rummaging around the room, Zalan walked over and asked curiously.
“Oh, I forgot to introduce him. He is a new friend I met while learning magic.”
“Friend? It!”
Hearing Muen say this, Zalan was still a little incredulous.
He didn't remember Muen having the habit of making friends with animals.
“That's right, don't underestimate Bouncy. He is a very magical creature.”
Hearing Muen say the words 'magical creature', Zalan could understand.
He knew that many magicians had contractual relationships with magical creatures, but this was the first time he had seen such a small magical creature.
“What can it do? Does it breathe fire, or can it spit water?”
Zalan's understanding of magical creatures was still stuck on fire dragons. That huge creature had left a deep impression on him.
“It can't do any of those.”
Muen explained, and suddenly thought of something and said to Zalan in a low voice.
“Secretly tell everyone to watch their purses.”
After searching the entire room, Bouncy had almost recovered his energy.
And he accurately found the location of Muen's money box.
“Chirp?” (It's not that big here?)
After discovering that many layers of anti-theft magic spells had been cast on the money box, Bouncy found Muen a little dejectedly.
He remembered that Muen told him that his home was very big.
“This is just a small room on the ship. You can go outside and take a look. The entire ship is your territory.”
Hearing Muen say this, Bouncy's little eyes lit up instantly, and then he couldn't wait to run towards the door.
Muen also followed closely, fearing that some people who didn't know Bouncy would cause him any harm.
Of course, the most important thing was to ensure that this little guy wouldn't steal other people's things.
“Chirp~” (So big~)
After running through all the places on the deck, Bouncy was a little exhausted and collapsed at Muen's feet.
“There are three more floors below. If you like, you can find a room on the third floor to be your little warehouse.”
“Chirp!” (Really!)
“Of course.”
After hearing Muen's promise, Bouncy was instantly revived and ran quickly towards the deck passage.
“Little warehouse? What do you mean?”
Zalan had been following behind Muen, and he couldn't help but be curious when he heard that this strange magical creature was going to be allocated a separate room as a warehouse.
“Oh, Bouncy is actually a very good little money-making expert, and he is also good at guarding the house.”
Muen was very clear about Bouncy's ability to make money. He guessed that the valuable items on this little guy's body should be more than his own.
Seeing that Zalan didn't understand, Muen explained to him how Bouncy made his fortune.
“There are even magical creatures that can steal...:.. earn money on their own. This is amazing.”
Because the magicians in this world have put most of their energy into war-related matters.
This leads them to value and be more willing to form contracts with magical creatures that have combat abilities.
This also gives ordinary people like Zalan the illusion that magical creatures are all combat creatures.
“Of course, if one day we are really so poor that we can't make ends meet, maybe opening the door to this little warehouse will allow all of us to overcome the difficulties.”
Hearing Muen say this, Zalan's eyes lit up instantly.
“Isn't one warehouse not enough? Maybe we can give it two more rooms.”
Although Muen has now remodeled the Crimson Moon, the room vacancy rate is still very high.
Now that there is a money-making expert, Zalan naturally thinks that it can be reasonably allocated.
Muen had no objection to this proposal. Anyway, as long as Bouncy needed it, he would agree.
After Bouncy went to explore the cabin, the two returned to the small room again.
“You brought back so many things this time. What are you planning to do?”
Zalan asked curiously, watching Muen take out various items one by one from the suitcase.
He clearly remembered that Muen had brought back a lot of items when he returned last time.
Among them were the materials for making paper and printing, which are things that can make everyone crazy.
“That's right, some of them are for my own use, but this formula may be used by us next. It can shorten the growth time of crops by half.”
Of course, what Muen gave Zalan was the Flame Snail fertilizer formula.
“Half?! Are you sure!”
“Yes, I have already tested it.”
Hearing Muen say this, Zalan immediately returned the formula to Muen.
“You haven't experienced war, so you don't know the preciousness of this thing. It far exceeds your imagination, and it is likely to alarm the high-level officials of the Federation or the Empire.”
Zalan was very clear about the importance of food in a war.
And now Muen has come up with such a thing that can completely change the course of all wars.
This made him excited, but he also knew that with his ability, he might not be able to protect this information.
