What Bad Intentions Could a Little Hufflepuff Have?

Black put away his contempt for the Bronze Treasure Chest.

System-produced.

Truly premium.

Even the lowest-tier Bronze Treasure Chest.

Could grant Black benefits ordinary people could never hope to attain!

Thinking of this.

Black looked forward even more to the remaining Treasure Chests!

"System, help me open that Silver Treasure Chest."

There was only one Silver Treasure Chest.

But.

It had dropped from Dumbledore!

That meant.

It should drop skills or talents Dumbledore had mastered, right?

Under Black's expectant gaze.

The system's voice rang out unhurriedly.

"Ding! Opening the Silver Treasure Chest for the host."

"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained Advanced Alchemy Talent!"

"Alchemy Talent?" Black scratched his head.

Dumbledore could indeed be considered an Alchemy Master.

Though he was not as proficient as Nicolas Flamel.

He had still achieved considerable accomplishments in alchemy.

So for this Silver Treasure Chest to yield an alchemy-related talent.

Wasn't exactly off the mark...

It was just that.

Though this talent was excellent.

For the current Black.

It was temporarily useless.

Because he had not even truly entered the magical world yet.

Much less come into contact with alchemy.

But Black was not discouraged.

He simply could not access it for now.

Perhaps later, he could use this talent to get acquainted with Nicolas Flamel...

That legendary alchemist.

Then farm some Treasure Chests off him or something.

Black silently made a note of this.

Then, Black turned his gaze toward the two Gold Treasure Chests again!

Only now did the main event begin!

The two identical Gold Treasure Chests lay in the System Space.

Black had no way of telling which one Hermione had dropped.

And which one Dumbledore had dropped.

But he would know once he opened them.

"System, open one Gold Treasure Chest."

"Ding! Opening the Gold Treasure Chest for the host!"

"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained Supreme Rune Talent!"

"Runes?"

Black knew that Hogwarts offered an elective in the third year.

Called Ancient Rune Studies.

This class was generally rather boring.

It was only a theoretical course.

Its main purpose.

And the purpose of Ancient Runes was rather boring too.

Was to translate ancient documents recorded in Ancient Runes...

Just like studying oracle bone script.

"Hiss... doesn't that make this talent pretty useless?"

Black frowned.

But.

On second thought.

Black felt that Ancient Runes might not be so useless.

Because in Western legends, runes.

Generally referred to the Runic Alphabet.

And in those legends.

The Runic Alphabet possessed magic.

"Magical writing... if that's the case..."

"Could I use Parchment inscribed with Ancient Runes."

"Like talismans?"

With that thought.

An image had already formed in Black's mind.

PS: I've already applied for a contract. Dear readers, feel free to feed me data. Monthly tickets, evaluation tickets, flowers—if you have any left, throw them all at me!

Ultimate Move! Ancient Magic! Extreme Attack Power!

In truth, Black could not be sure whether these Ancient Runes really had development potential.

After all, for so long.

Wizards had treated these Ancient Runes.

As nothing more than ordinary ancient writing.

Only a few Alchemy Masters had mastered one or two genuine Ancient Runes with magical power.

However.

Based on the comparison between Intermediate Cooking Mastery and an ordinary chef's cooking.

Black felt.

That even intermediate talents should far surpass the talents of ordinary experts.

Not to mention Supreme Talents!

With Supreme Rune Talent.

And the Scholar Talent he had obtained earlier.

He believed that when he came into contact with Ancient Runes.

He would definitely be able to discover things others could not!

"Looks like once I get to Diagon Alley."

"I'll have to buy quite a few things."

"At the very least, some magic books are essential!"

Books in the wizarding world were generally expensive.

Fortunately, Black had prepared long ago.

He had already earned quite a bit of money.

He planned to exchange it for gold.

Then go to Gringotts and trade it with those greedy Goblins for Galleons.

After making his plans.

Black once again had the system open the last Gold Treasure Chest.

"Ding! Opening the Gold Treasure Chest for the host!"

"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained Supreme Spellcasting Technique!"

The next second.

A great deal of brand-new knowledge flooded into Black's mind once more!

"Hiss... it's a skill!"

Black became excited.

Actually, the rewards in the system's Treasure Chests.

Even from Treasure Chests of the same quality.

And rewards of the same quality.

Had a certain hierarchy among them.

Black felt.

That skill-type rewards.

Were better than talent-type rewards.

Because skill-type rewards.

Were directly instilled into him.

For example, Culinary Mastery.

It allowed Black to skip the long process of practice.

And immediately possess that level of cooking skill.

As for talent-type rewards.

Even Supreme Talents.

Still required a period of study.

Before they could increase one's strength.

Though that was also quite good.

Wouldn't learning it directly be even better?

So, compared to the Supreme Rune Talent from just now.
