Although the first attempt was not perfect, Chris did not stop practicing.

Thanks to the Empire's compulsory education, he fully understands the scientific principles behind Alchemy. It can even be said that he is quite solid in theoretical knowledge.

Unfortunately, his talent in energy perception and control is simply catastrophic.

Since you don't have enough talent, you can make up for it with your sweat.

In the next few hours, he drew countless Transmutation Circle on the floor, reading relevant books for comparison and correction while drawing.

When he finally stopped, time had passed quietly to 4 o'clock in the morning.

Chris went to the bathroom and took a shower, then lay down in his virtual network cabin.

This kind of device can guide people into a deep sleep state through specific brain waves. After sleeping in it for 2 hours, the recovery effect is equivalent to or even better than 8 hours of ordinary sleep.

At 6 o'clock in the morning, Chris woke up on time.

He enjoyed a healthy breakfast in high spirits - today he chose the Hawaii flavored set meal.

After eating, he put on his iconic black suit, tidied up his appearance, and went out to work.

Walking in the corridor of the apartment building, Chris met a neighbor - a young girl.

He nodded politely to the other party, and the girl returned the greeting.

However, when Chris walked over, the young girl looked at his leaving back and shook her head secretly.

She knew very well that her strange neighbor was a "celebrity" in the entire community.

He is famous because he is known to be "stingy".

In everyone's impression, he is basically a Parasite bug who relies on the government for support.

The apartment he lives in is a standard three-bedroom apartment Fawley provided by the government. Other than that, he does not seem to have any extra consumption or entertainment.

The girl sighed and turned away. The pair of furry cat ears on her head trembled slightly with her movements - those were real ears, not hairbands.

In this new era, a certain kind of fanatical obsession with "cat ladies" does not seem to fade with the progress of civilization, but intensifies.

When this biomodification technology was first introduced, only those who were either rich or wealthy could afford it.

However, in less than half a year, technology has made breakthrough progress and the cost has been significantly reduced. Now, ordinary people can afford this kind of reconstructive surgery as long as they save a few months of money.

As a result, this style quickly evolved into a fashion trend and became very popular in both Wizarding World and Muggle World.

Of course, this phenomenon has also caused quite a bit of controversy. Many people have criticized this practice as "unnatural" and deviant.

Chris was walking on the street, looking at all kinds of people around him, without any disturbance in his heart.

He knows that most of those who hold objections come from "Old Era".

Those people cannot keep up with the ever-changing rhythm of the Empire. Their conservative thoughts and fixed concepts make it difficult for them to accept the drastic changes in today's life, technology and other aspects.

Luck is, Chris is not one of them.

As early as the moment when he witnessed Dementor Invasion, Chris was mentally prepared for the arrival of this new world.

Although in some aspects, he still retains some conservative habits and preferences, he knows how to seek common ground while reserving differences, and how to find his own position in this rapidly developing era.

While he was deep in thought, he unknowingly reached his destination.

Without any hesitation, he paid the fare and boarded the train to the designated area.
