The scenery changed, Silan returned to the real world.
"Master, how are you?" Norbert, who had been waiting by her side, asked anxiously when he saw Silan open her eyes.
"It's nothing." Silan shook her head, then asked, "Has anything unusual happened here?"
"No."
Norbert looked at the Basilisk. "It's always been very obedient."
"My loyalty to my master is absolutely sincere!"
The Basilisk wagged its tail and said obsequiously, "Great master, you can completely trust me."
"Too talkative."
A bolt of electricity as thick as a finger instantly coursed across the Basilisk's entire body, causing it to scream in agony.
"Roar roar roar..."
"Thank you, Master!"

After sending the Basilisk and Norbert away, Silan returned to the Room of Requirement.
"Only 3 minutes have passed?"
Turning her gaze away from her watch, Silan silently calculated the time it took her to enter the Soul Space.
He spent about half an hour in the Soul Library, but only about three minutes passed in the real world.
"The flow of time is different in the two spaces." Silan murmured to herself thoughtfully, "Wouldn't I have more time to study in the Soul Library?"
This was an unexpected discovery.
Leaning back on the sofa, Silan closed her eyes, but her thoughts kept churning within her.
"I never expected Tom Riddle to be in the Soul Space too."
"Something probably went wrong when the Horcrux was destroyed, giving him the opportunity to transfer his soul out."
"He chose to conceal his identity instead of making a move, probably to trick me into revealing how to enter the library, or perhaps he simply wants to obtain the Soul Magic left behind by Slytherin?"
"Anyway, since we haven't fallen out, let's just keep playing along."
With the [Nirvana Rebirth] skill, Silan can rest assured.
After resting for a while, Silan got up and started brewing Potions.
He had arranged with Pippin to deliver a batch of goods before the summer vacation, and the delivery date is approaching soon.
The main Potions brewed include Hemostatic Healing Potion and Baruffio's Brain Elixir.
Of all the Potions Silan possesses, only these two are currently brewed to a level comparable to Snape's.
The risk of reselling these two Potions is small. Even if he is discovered, Snape will at most think that the Potions he sold before have been misappropriated.
If someone is caught pretending to be someone else, then things will be very serious.
In order to make money in the long run, Silan didn't care about those petty profits.

After brewing a batch of Potions, an exhausted Silan took a nap in the Room of Requirement.
When I woke up again, a virtual screen popped up in front of me.
[Deep Sleep Upgrade!]
[Deep Sleep: Level 2 (1/200)]
[Description: Death is like a cool summer night, a time for carefree sleep, where one can snuggle under their blanket.]
[Effect: Energy increases by 30%, requiring only 3 hours of sleep per day to fully restore energy, without harming the body.]
"If this skill is used in conjunction with the Soul Library, there will be even more time available for learning."
"It's perfect for studying Ancient Runes."
Ancient Runes are a rather simple and straightforward subject. Photographic Memory can certainly help Silan save time, truly achieving proficiency in this subject and reaching the point of fluent translation still requires a significant investment of time.
Silan walked out of the inner room, glanced at the Ancient Runes she had borrowed earlier, and gave a self-deprecating laugh.
Looks like I'll have something to do this summer.
He returned to the sofa and checked his own entry panel.

[Santa Claus: Delivering Christmas gifts more than ten times each Christmas earns one entry into a prize draw. (Note: Cannot be upgraded)]
Silan read through all her entries from beginning to end, somewhat surprised.
"I never imagined that Animal Bloodline would be the fastest way to level up..."
But thinking about it, it makes sense: a red and expert successor, a corrupt Cat Leopard obsessed with secret-recipe snacks, and a masochistic Basilisk...
With all these bizarre and Magical Creatures put together, how could this entry's experience points not increase rapidly?
Shaking her head, Silan took out all the money she had and piled it on the table.
When it came time to divide the money, he didn't take the Silver Sickle or Knut, only the Galleon, so now the table is covered in a golden sheen.
Hermione gave Silan her 100 Galleon to make up for Neville's shortfall of 100 Galleon.
Therefore, Silan still has around 1,500 Galleon.
Of course, money isn't the most important thing.
Importantly, he now has two stable sources of income.
One line was about selling quill pens with George and Fred, and the other was about reselling Potions with Pippin.
As long as these two lines keep running and continuously expand production, they can steadily generate profits for him every year.
Silan has now completely handed over the quill pen business to George and Fred.
A leader should have a clear understanding of his own position and should never try to do everything personally, big or small.
His job is only to make decisions and allocate benefits; the specific tasks should be left to specific people.
Only by freeing yourself from trivial matters can you pursue greater benefits.
"It's been another fulfilling academic year."
Silan picked up a Galleon, tossed it into the air, caught it steadily, and put it back in his pocket.
The feeling of having money in his pocket made him feel very secure.
Before the holiday, Silan delivered the batch of Potions she had brewed to Pippin's Potions.
As he was leaving, the Pippin excitedly told him that he had already prepared a sales plan. As long as he could open up the market and build a good reputation in the first year, he could just sit back and wait for orders to come to him.
"Don't worry, Mr. Prewett."
"It can be sold without anyone noticing, and there won't be any problems whatsoever."
"We can sit back and split the profits when school starts," Pippin assured Silan confidently.
Summer vacation is just around the corner.
Today is the day of the End-of-Year Feast, and everyone's face is beaming with joy.
Exams are over, and summer vacation is about to begin.
Is there anything more exciting than this?
Everyone was happy, except for Malfoy...
