Lorne lay in bed, marveling at what another beautiful day it was.
If it weren't for the Dementor suddenly raiding his shop tonight, today would have been a perfect day.
First, the Hogsmeade Magic Mobile Phone Shop opened successfully, and the number of seventh-year students registering for enrollment exceeded his expectations.
According to Sirius, if they only taught practical skills without explaining the underlying principles, some students would have already graduated smoothly. After all, they were all about to graduate from seventh grade, and their magical level was incomparable to that of a young wizard like Harry who had only studied for two years.
Sirius even gave him a name: Ruchel, the Ravenclaw who had shown interest the earliest. Ravenclaw had already completed a Philosopher's Stone in class that could be used for the next step.
Next came the completion of the system task. Although Lorne didn't know how to use the reward yet, with this phase of the task completed, Lorne could finally spend freely.
In order to complete the task as soon as possible, he didn't even refresh the rare item inventory for a while, for fear that he would lose his temper and spend more Power of Emotion, causing the system task to get stuck.
Driven by a sudden urge to buy, Lorne stockpiled some storage components. Currently, the Magic Mobile Phone is completely self-sufficient, requiring only further recruitment and standardization. However, Lorne hasn't yet figured out the workings of the storage components, hoping that one day they will suddenly appear.
"Let me see what the rare items are today," Lorne said, opening the system shop. He didn't even glance at the regular items he had already browsed through, immediately locking onto the top rare item section. " Permanent Wolfsbane Potion?"
Lupin's image automatically popped into Lorne's mind.
Many years ago, Lupin's father, Lyle Lupin, harshly condemned Werewolf at Ministry of Magic hearing, calling them soulless, evil, and deserving of death. Greyback, harboring resentment, secretly pried open Lupin's bedroom window and bit him while he slept. Lyle rushed in in time to fend off Greyback and save Remus's life, but the bite wound was already inflicted, and the curse could not be lifted.
Although Lupin was granted the right to attend Hogwarts, after graduation, in order to hide his Werewolf identity, he never had a stable job and could only do odd jobs on weekdays. He even had to buy Potions, which made his already impoverished life even worse.
Even today, when Lorne saw Lupin, he was wearing tattered robes. Perhaps without Dumbledore's invitation, Lupin would still be living a nomadic life.
Lupin was essentially a very kind person. When he received Dumbledore's letter, his first concern was not his salary, but the safety of the students. Only after Dumbledore promised him the Wolfsbane Potion did Lupin readily agree.
Lorne silently resolved to buy it, his eyes resolute.
Lupin, you no longer need to pretend to be strong, because your strength has arrived.
Lorne glanced at the Potions's instructions and discovered that if the curse was caused by Werewolf bite, the user didn't even need to drink the whole bottle; half a bottle would be enough to permanently remove the curse and restore him to a normal human body.
That's too extravagant.
Lorne deftly took out another Potions, poured out half of it, and divided the Potions in two.
That's great, at least we can save another disappointed person.
Having done all this, Lorne looked around with satisfaction, lay back on the bed with a contented expression, and picked up the Magic Mobile Phone.
Today is the game update day, and he hasn't even looked at the players' feedback and reviews yet.
In the beginning, because there were few players, Lorne could directly view the backend data and use the data to deduce players' opinions.
Since the launch of the Cuckoo platform, Lorne has changed this habit, because players can directly post their opinions on the Cuckoo platform, which saves him a lot of trouble.
When I opened Cuckoo, the first thing I saw was a bunch of unread messages.
[ Hagrid: The kids are all grown up. Today, when they came back from picking pumpkins, I found a glass of Butterbeer that they'd brought back from Three Broomsticks on the table—though I prefer mead, you know, Butterbeer is pretty much a drink to me.]
[ Hagrid: But I think I accidentally revealed something about Sirius. Don't worry, I probably didn't say anything.]
[ Quirrell: After the game update, some characters have seen a surge in popularity. Should we re-release some merchandise?]
[ Sains: Boss, top up my account some more. With the new event, a lot more people are spending money on in-game purchases.]
Lorne glanced at it and decided to deal with it later. He couldn't wait to open the forum and kept refreshing it.
On the other side.
Draco leaped out of bed, sitting up with his Magic Mobile Phone in hand. The dense text on the announcement gradually faded from his eyes, leaving only seven large characters.
Character popularity poll.
As a popular character in The Wizard Legend, Ella's stats and popularity have remained consistently high since the game's launch. In some ways, she can even be considered the face of The Wizard Legend, with a consistently high usage rate.
Among the many female characters, only Ozeanna, the Witch of the Moon introduced during the first anniversary celebration, and Morgana, who has very generous stats and a unique appearance, can rival her.
After logging into the game, Draco ignored everything, not even collecting crops or the materials he regularly gathered from his Yaoyao. Instead, he went straight to the newly added event section and looked for the voting leaderboard.
"Are those people blind?" Draco shouted angrily. "How could Morgana possibly be number one? The voters must be a bunch of Death Eaters!"
Actually, Ella is usually the most popular, but Lorne's latest update includes a segment featuring Morgana. As Merlin's nemesis and the final boss of the storyline, Lorne naturally designed a CG sequence for her that is both imposing and mysteriously beautiful, lasting over ten seconds.
Humans share a common trait: they are more likely to empathize with things that are closer to their own time. Morgana's CG and storyline have led players who didn't have a strong opinion about the three characters to vote for them, putting them in first place for now.
Draco clicked on the question mark in the upper right corner of the event page and read it carefully, "At the end of the event, the character ranked first on the leaderboard will receive the right to create a skin, the player who voted the most for that character will receive a unique title, and will also have a greater chance of receiving an independent storyline and short film in the future..."
Having muttered this to himself, Draco angrily opened Cuckoo and posted a protest on the forum.
[Let's have a rational discussion: who is actually voting for Morgana? Am I the only one who thinks Ella is the only choice among the three female leads?]
