Inventory of MODs

Dreamlike smoke slowly gathered before Li Wei, forming line after line of prompts.

The first thing that caught Li Wei's eye was the Mixed-Blood MOD he had triggered on the half-giant Hagrid when getting off the train.

"What does it do?"

Li Wei focused his gaze, and the smoke clearly wrote:

For every mixed-blood race the host befriends, the host will gain one special talent from them.

Current talent acquired: Hagrid—Giant Physique: Your constitution, strength, and magical resistance will gradually grow to rival those of a half-giant, without any change in body size. (Click to merge)

"My Merlin!"

Li Wei exclaimed in shock, recalling the enormous figure nearly four meters tall that he had seen when getting off the train.

If his constitution, strength, and magical resistance could compare to Hagrid's...

With nothing but an iron-like body, he would not even need magic. One punch would be enough to Stupefy an enemy!

And his body size would not change because of it. How could Li Wei possibly pass up such a good thing?!

Merge it. Merge it immediately!

Li Wei swept his finger down over the words "Click to merge."

He immediately felt a force as scorching as lava and as heavy as a mountain flow out from the MOD System before him and into his body.

Only after a moment did that incomparably mighty power fade away, hiding within him like a sleeping giant.

Li Wei could not help clenching his fist, but he only felt that his strength had increased a little.

Other than that, the food that had left him somewhat stuffed during the feast no longer made him feel overly full.

"So it really does grow 'gradually'!"

Li Wei glanced again at the description of Giant Physique and muttered helplessly.

"Huh? Wait a minute!"

Just as Li Wei was about to inspect the next MOD, he suddenly remembered Professor Filius Flitwick, who had been seated at the staff table during the feast. He was also the Head of Ravenclaw.

It was somewhat impolite to say so, but Professor Flitwick seemed to be a half-blood between a human and a goblin, did he not?

Li Wei had seen Professor Flitwick too, so why had he not gained a mixed-blood talent from him?

But on second thought, they could not really be considered acquainted at the feast. At most, Li Wei had merely caught a distant glimpse of Flitwick from within the crowd.

"Forget it. We'll get to know each other sooner or later in class. The Head of House's talent isn't going anywhere!"

Li Wei simply stopped dwelling on it and turned to inspect the series of MODs triggered when he arrived at Hogwarts Castle.

As expected of the story's main setting, the number of MODs triggered at Hogwarts Castle was second only to the number triggered in Diagon Alley.

Moreover, Li Wei guessed that the MOD System's most important currency—credits—would likely have to be earned through the MODs loaded at Hogwarts.

He opened the first Learning MOD. One look was enough for him to think, Just as I expected. The smoke displayed the following in hazy lettering:

The Learning MOD is the host's primary means of obtaining credits, divided into four parts:

1. Class summaries: Evaluations will be made based on the teacher's lesson quality and the host's knowledge gained. Different evaluations will grant different amounts of credits.

2. Final exams: Different grades on final exams will grant different levels of credits. Year ranking affects credit bonuses.

3. Extra credit: Extra points earned through performance in class and around the school will be recorded as credits. The final score in the House Cup will also be recorded as credits.

4. Extracurricular reading: For every magical book read beyond the textbooks, points will be awarded based on the knowledge gained and counted as credits.

"Good grief, this is making me become a male version of Hermione Granger! Either she'll grind me to death in the future, or I'll grind her to death!"

The moment Li Wei saw those four ways of earning credits, he knew he would have to follow Hermione Granger's example from now on.

Using every possible method and means to earn credits would become his way of life at school!

Having made up his mind, Li Wei turned to the next MOD—Wizard Tower MOD.

The moment he opened it, a string of blueprints and a vast amount of knowledge and magic filled the MOD module.

Tower Spirit, Four-Element Energy Pool, Secret Realm Garden, Anti-Magic Vault, observatory, Meditation Room, library, Mythallar Defense Array, Alchemy Workshop, Forbidden Laboratory...

The successive high-level Wizard Tower construction blueprints, along with their corresponding magical knowledge, left Li Wei utterly engrossed and overwhelmed.

Every single one was something that had never appeared in the world of Harry Potter, or could only be found in a similar form.

Every one of them was incomparably precious. Most could only be exchanged for credits, while only a very small number could be purchased with Galleons in the store.

"So close, yet so far!"

"If I could have a Wizard Tower, along with that earlier idea of creating a magical version of artificial intelligence—a Tower Spirit—I'd truly be invincible!"

Li Wei could imagine just how terrifying a powerful wizard would be while stationed inside his own Wizard Tower.

By then, even if Dumbledore, Voldemort, and Grindelwald—the three strongest wizards—joined forces with an army of wizards to kill him...

He would still be able to sit in his Wizard Tower, sipping tea with a smile!

Unfortunately, he simply could not afford to build a Wizard Tower right now!

After taking one more reluctant look at the Wizard Tower MOD, Li Wei swallowed and opened the next Exploration MOD.

This MOD was extremely simple.

Li Wei only needed to explore the entirety of Hogwarts Castle. For every 1% of exploration progress he gained, he would receive one hundred credits.

When Li Wei's exploration progress reached 100%, the [Map] function would unlock.

He did not yet know what was special about the Map function, but ten thousand credits were truly tempting!

Especially after Li Wei had just been baptized by the Wizard Tower MOD. Now, whenever he heard the word "credits," his eyes practically glowed red!

"Damn it, I've decided! From now on, as long as studying doesn't kill me, I'll study myself to death!"

Li Wei gritted his teeth, his eyes glowing green and red as he swore to himself!
