Chapter 269: Adding and Deducting Points

When Jane returned to the Slytherin common room holding the Flamel couple's two-sided mirror, she was surrounded by little snakes.

They had already observed the rapidly falling gemstone hourglass, and all showed painful expressions.

"She deducted 150 points from you for one detention?!" Draco was so shocked that he could almost fit an egg in his mouth. "Although I know it's because of Dumbledore, but this score...does she want to destroy Slytherin?"

He seemed to want to continue scolding Umbridge for being ungrateful, but his voice was suppressed by Daphne.

"She's just looking for trouble!" Daphne added angrily, "She's deliberately deducting points from Jade in an attempt to divide us Slytherins!"

Seventh-year students Warrington and Montagu also squeezed over. Warrington held up his broom, his biceps growing bigger from exercise.

"Jade, you're awesome." He gave a thumbs up in praise, but then realized something and forced his thumb down, making an inverted thumbs up gesture, "Uh... I mean, how can we be disrespectful to our sweet and amiable Professor Umbridge? Look at our house score, it has dropped a lot in an instant."

Mrs. Montgomery nudged him with her elbow, and also interrupted the conversation with a smile while holding the broom, and began to show off her big muscles:

"There's nothing to worry about. Our muscles and mouths will soon make up for the 150 points. Of course, we are not the only ones who can do this job."

His eyes rolled around and fell on Draco:

"Draco, as the prefect, shouldn't you exercise your prefect's rights?"

Draco understood immediately and opened his eyes wide. Then he coughed twice, straightened his tie, and looked around the lounge:

"Let me see - Malcolm Bardock, for helping classmates and being friendly, I'll give you 10 points; Mafalda Prewett, for good class performance and a good attitude, I'll give you 10 points... and Blaise Zabini, your tie is tied very neatly, I'll give you another 5 points... Daphne Greengrass, you sit upright, I'll give you another 5 points..."

He didn't stop proudly until every little snake present had been given a point.

"It's done!" Montague said happily. As the new Quidditch captain with a high IQ, his thick hair stood up with excitement. "Okay, Jade, don't worry too much! Just go ahead and deduct the points! It doesn't matter if you give it a try!"

Jian Yu felt that his mouth was wide enough to fit an egg.

She had clearly deducted 150 points from Slytherin, a score that was shocking to the world—

Why is everyone’s reaction...different from the sighs and groans she imagined?

And Warrington and Montague, it turns out that these two people used their intelligence and talents to find bugs!

It really amazed her.

Such friendly little snakes made her feel a little guilty after "giving it a try" -

I hope that when Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry becomes Hogwarts High School...

Her lovely classmates could even laugh out loud.

......

But unfortunately, the bad news about the Flamels she received from the two-way mirror made her stop laughing first.

"We have been researching for a year." Nico frowned and fiddled with the magic patterns inlaid with silver threads by his men. "We have combined the two-sided mirror and the game console to achieve one-to-one communication. This is indeed achieved. But as you said, different people can communicate instantly, and there must be an application that everyone can type to communicate and store knowledge and ideas? We have no idea about these for the time being."

He picked up the appearance sketch and functional requirements list that Jian Yu had drawn for him and waved them:

"Although your idea is very genius, with a color screen, animated real pictures, a touch screen, and brightness and volume adjustment, these are all simple functions that can be achieved with a few small spells... but to connect so many users together, it is difficult to draw such magic patterns. I melted several tons of silver several times."

Jian Yu sighed. She just wanted to own a smartphone.

From now on, you can watch TV series, read novels, play games online, and live a comfortable life lying down.

But why is it so difficult to create something that is so ahead of its time?

But since the problem has arisen, it must be solved.

"I really want to have a muggle technician." She muttered, "Perhaps you know something about telephones? Computers? The Internet? Microsoft? Apple? Nokia?"

Mr. and Mrs. Flamel shook their heads at the same time, but they also showed curious eyes:

"We know that stuff works really well, but we haven't experienced it—"

"But I can go and capture a few of the Muggle technicians you mentioned..." Nico's straightforward words were interrupted by Perenelle's cane. "Ahem, we can use Truth Serenity... the charm of language to discuss the principles in a friendly manner. Of course, in order not to break the law, we will use Obliviate on him."

Jian Yu couldn't help but express three seconds of sympathy for those unknown unfortunate Muggles.

I also express my deep respect for Nicolas Flamel's vigorous spirit of research even as he grows older.

She decided to ask her employees to buy a large number of Muggle communication technology books and send them to the two elders as company benefits.

——Of course, also bring some spiritual food for yourself.

"If you can invent it, you will change the wizarding world." Jian Yu did not forget to paint a big picture for the two technical backbones, "Everyone will hold one of our great creations, and knowledge can be stored on it. Those ancient spells, potions, and alchemy will never be lost, and the wizard's heritage and culture will be passed on. Later generations will continue to record and innovate based on the predecessors, and the teaching of magic schools will also be improved-"

Mr. and Mrs. Flamel took a deep breath at the same time, and looked like they wanted to live another two hundred years.

The inheritance of knowledge...is one of the things that the two elders desire most.

This is also a big part of the reason why I support my alma mater, Beauxbatons.

"That's absolutely true, Jade." Perenelle wiped her wet eyes. "If young children could have this kind of help, each generation would be more energetic than the last. Perhaps our lives would be completely different from what they are now."

"I'm going to catch Muggles now... and have friendly exchanges with them." Nico stood up shakily and tried to find a suit in the closet. "I have to be careful not to let my fingers, arms and legs fall down in front of them. Alas, this is harder for me than alchemy-"

Having successfully inspired his employees, Jian Yu relaxed and snapped on the two-sided mirror.

But she received a new piece of news within a day.

Education Order No. 23.
