Chapter 37

Although Harry, who had just blown up his aunt and ran away from home in the middle of the night, was still a little nervous about meeting the headmaster, his disgust for Voldemort and his strong sense of responsibility made him determined.

As for the feeling of being followed in the dark just now, Harry had already put it out of his mind. He didn't even mention it. Peter had just praised him, and he didn't want his little friend to show a surprised expression of "Oh, you are afraid of the dark".

From this perspective, Harry is still a child after all, and his maturity is very limited.

However, Fang Shao had already seen Harry's current situation from the pile of luggage behind him and the remaining panic on his face when he first entered the bar. When he was about to leave, Fang Shao gave him a small traffic light.

Looking at the reassuring green light above, Harry stuffed the small red-green light into his trouser pocket, together with the wallet containing the talisman.

Harry pushed open the door. The alley outside was still quiet. Behind him, the neon light on the bar sign was still flashing, enveloping Harry in a safe light.

Harry looked in the direction he had just run from, and it was still dark there.

The boy whispered the spell.

"Fluorescent!"

The light from the magic wand shot in the opposite direction, and two yellow lights suddenly lit up in the darkness.

Harry's wand hand shook.

But he quickly calmed down. The person in front of him was not the Auror or dark wizard he was worried about, nor was it the wanted criminal Black who had escaped from prison, but a skinny big dog. It was completely black and almost perfectly hidden in the darkness, with only a pair of eyes shining from the light of the wand.

The big dog looked at the boy silently. At one moment, Harry almost thought he saw concern in the eyes of the two beasts. Soon the boy laughed at his own self-conceit, but he still couldn't help but let down his guard and had a better impression of the stray dog.

The next second, the neon lights of the bar disappeared, and the alley returned to darkness, with only the little light from Harry's wand remaining.

"Woo~" The big dog's body shrank suddenly, his eyes widened, as if he couldn't understand how the bar that was there just now suddenly disappeared.

"Don't be scared, dog, it's okay." Harry tried to comfort the big dog. This was the first time he encountered an animal that could see the bar. Normally, even if the bar appeared openly on the side of the road, other people and animals would ignore it. No one would pay attention to him entering and leaving the bar. This was probably the same effect as the Muggle Repelling Charm of the Leaky Cauldron.

"Dog, you must be hungry. Come here, I'll take you to find something to eat." Harry waved his hand. Although he couldn't adopt a big dog because he already had Hedwig, he could still give it a full meal.

The big black dog hesitated for a moment, but soon it seemed to hear something, and its ears twitched slightly. It looked at Harry deeply, turned around and ran away.

Before Harry could feel disappointed, a purple three-decker bus appeared in front of him as if it had jumped out of the darkness. A conductor opened the door, leaned out half of his body and said loudly, "Welcome to the Rider Bus..."

Startled by the sudden appearance of the rider bus, Harry stepped back, took out the traffic light and looked down.

Very good, green.

Only after the conductor finished his long introduction did Harry have a chance to state his destination.

"Hogwarts? The school is closed at this time. I can't take you there."

"Want to find Principal Dumbledore? That won't do...Oh, God, you, you are Harry Potter." Harry quickly stopped the conductor from screaming so as not to wake up a whole car of sleeping wizard passengers.

The excited conductor even spoke faster, "Ern, change the destination. We are taking Mr. Potter to Godrick Hollow now!!!"

Harry refused the conductor's hospitality and took advantage of his status to finally lie down quietly on the berth. He was thinking about what to say to the principal tomorrow, but in the swaying of the car, the boy quickly forgot his thoughts and fell into a sweet dream.

In his dream, he seemed to have returned to his childhood and sat on the cat bus in the Totoro World with Peter. This time, Yunxi also came. The three of them swayed their bodies left and right with the movement of the car, while singing a song whose name they did not know. The cat bus took them across the fields and over the treetops, leaving behind only a string of laughter and singing.

Outside the dream, the wizard bus was going farther and farther in the darkness. Starlight was twinkling in the sky, shining through the window onto the sleeping boy.

It seemed that the successive appearances of Peter, Tusu, Shensu and Harry on that day overdrew the bar's business, and the Yuan Bar became deserted again in the following days. Fang Shao also adapted to this situation. Manager Qiu happened to call him to persuade him to take on the on-site translation work. He suddenly had an idea and directly recommended Dave.

When Manager Qiu first saw Dave, he was a little confused. Isn't he just a foreigner? But after hearing him speak fluent Mandarin and seeing his ID card, he suddenly understood. After a conversation, Manager Qiu was very satisfied with Dave's business ability.

Dave is different from Fang Shao, the fake guy who got a bar buff. In the game, he is a real Canadian, and his mother tongue is English, which is a headache for countless students in the country. After naturalization, he was marked as Russian on his ID card, and he not only learned Chinese characters and Mandarin directly, but also gained Russian language knowledge.

Fang Shao, who only found out about this after receiving a call from Manager Qiu, immediately felt less resentful of the boss's big spend. With a turnover of one million, excluding the impact on the trial period evaluation, he only spent 50,000 yuan based on his personal commission. This 50,000 yuan not only solved Dave's identity problem, but also allowed him to master two languages ​​for free. The money the headquarters charged was really not expensive.

This way, even if the company fails or Dave wants to leave, he can find a job in the translation industry with his three languages ​​​​under his belt. Fang Shao will have one less thing to worry about.

Without Dave, Fang Shao was bored again. The Lunar New Year was approaching, and the chat group was discussing going home for the New Year.

Fang Shao never participated in such topics. He simply scrolled back through the long list and looked for other topics that he had not attended to when he was busy.

In addition to the routine gossip topics, Fang Shao also saw new discussions about the charity corner. In the past few days, everyone's applications for the charity corner have been approved one after another. Unlike Fang Shao, they did not find wealthy customers to sponsor them, so they had to pay out of their own pockets. The corresponding persons in charge had different views on this approach. Some approved it quickly, some rejected it directly, and some sent it back and asked to fill it out again.

The lucky ones, like Fang Jia, who were directly approved, quickly put the charity items on the shelf and even added a guestbook. But she didn't expect that when she checked the next day, the charity items were still there, but there was a line of big ink-stained characters written in brush on the guestbook.

"Witch, stop lying to me! I won't be fooled! You want to dig out my heart and take advantage of my body, that's wishful thinking!!"

【Twenty-eight Beauty】: A mouthful of old blood...

【28-year-old beauty】: Family members, who understands me. I actually met a person with paranoid delusions!!!

【I am a madman from Chu】: [expression] clapping my hands and laughing

The one with the worst luck was Fang Chu, who complained a lot. Needless to say, he could only let go of his newly-emerged ambition and continue to concentrate on his side job of plane express delivery.

The rest of the people applied repeatedly and finally got their own charity corner.

Although the situations are different, the emergence of the public welfare corner has brought new variables to the stagnant bars. There is hope that things will get better in the future.

"Xiao Shao, are you going back to your hometown this year?" Fang Wei quietly sent a private message.

"Brother, my bar is doing well, so I won't go back." Fang Shao briefly told him about his plans, and Fang Yao didn't want to persuade him to go home. He just said that if Fang Shao had anything to do during the Spring Festival, he could find him directly. Although his own bar was closed, the Immortal Alliance was not on holiday, so he could still help to some extent.

Fang Shao had not thought of this, and quickly thanked Fang Wei for his kindness. He also ordered a few bottles of "Ancient Dreams" from him in case of emergency.

He contacted several other partners and added medicinal liquor and some liquor with special purposes.

Now that the average spending power of customers has increased, he has fewer concerns when purchasing goods. In fact, if he hadn't set the purchase rules himself, Stark and Zhu Lao alone would have bought out all his stock.

Fang Shao thought of another wealthy customer. He flipped through the transaction records on the cash register. George from the Mist World had indeed not been here for a long time. The last time he came was about the same time as Harry. Maybe several years had passed for him as well.

Fang Shao sighed. He had heard George half-jokingly complain about his bad luck several times before. He hoped that the next time they met, George would not have changed from a young and dashing military officer to a bald middle-aged man.

But unlike what Fang Shao had guessed, only a few months had passed on the other side of the arrow, so George was naturally not as sad as Fang Shao had thought. The Misty Army had just acquired the technology for the space elevator not long ago, and was now enthusiastically investing in this new field.

George's rank was raised again and again after his great contribution. With his current identity, he could enter many places marked as top secret. For example, this time, he followed a military leader to the newly opened Arrow Project test site. During this time, scientists used a new set of parameters, hoping to open a door to a new world through it.

"God bless, I hope there isn't disgusting fog and monsters behind this door!" George stood behind the military leader, silently looking at the tall and towering gate more than ten kilometers away.

It is called a door, but it is actually two metal pillars made of special materials. The tops of the two pillars are connected by electric current, forming a rectangular plane between the pillars, like a layer of silver water waves standing upright, with electric sparks jumping from time to time in the middle.

On one side of the gate stood an exploration team wearing protective clothing and holding various scientific instruments, as well as fully armed soldiers. Further back, there were tank corps and howitzer positions standing in a state of alert, and in the sky, there were air force planes circling in front of and behind the gate.

This time, the Misty Army had fully learned from their previous lessons. If the enemy showed any signs of trouble, they would immediately launch a fire attack.

"All departments, get ready!"

"Three, two, one!"

"Open!"

"Click!" A red button was pressed heavily amid the staff's slightly nervous voice.

The two pillars lit up with blue light, and the silver water waves slowly faded away, revealing a strange world behind them.

The door to Project Arrow was opened.
