Hogwarts: Becoming a god from reselling fresh food

"In short, in order to facilitate your communication and cooperation, everyone's papers will be made public and archived in the library, and can be consulted by everyone. The publication of the paper needs to be approved by at least ten researchers, or me. "

"The reviewers can give the paper an impact score based on its importance, pioneering and other aspects, and I will make the final decision on this score. In addition to receiving material rewards in proportion, this score will also be included in everyone's contribution points."

"Contribution points can be exchanged for more money, or even company shares. They can also be used to exchange for some potions or other magic items that you can also use, as well as any possible magic things in the future, such as magic pets, etc."

"I have a simple exchange list here, which will continue to be filled in the future. In short, I hope that you can also experience the fun of magic while studying magic."

"Oh!" People commented one after another, and the atmosphere suddenly became lively.

Although the utilitarian purpose of obtaining research results, material rewards, and leaving a name in history is indeed a big motivation, for these young researchers, the never-ending curiosity and the never-ending knowledge of the unknown Their unquenchable restlessness is the source of strength that allows them to endure the boring research life.

Mom, we are studying magic!

So cool!

At this time, a female researcher stood up and asked: "Umbrella Company... no, what are your specific needs?"

"You asked us to study magic. I don't think it is for the completely public purpose of revealing the truth about the world and benefiting mankind, right?"

“We can also conduct research better if we know your needs and objectives.”

Murphy glanced at her. She was a tall blond woman with exquisite three-dimensional facial features of the Germanic people, "Laura Kruger. You are right."

"My purpose... is very simple and easy to guess. I have almost omnipotent magic, and there are not many things that I can pursue."

"First of all, it is immortality. Almost omnipotent magic is not really omnipotent. Aging and death are still the fate of most wizards, and I don't want that fate."

"Based on this, I want to be stronger, know more, understand more, and be able to do more. Simply put, I want to be omniscient and omnipotent."

After a moment of silence, Laura asked: "Are you going to become a god?"

"God?" Murphy shook his head and smiled, "No, I don't want to be a god. At least not the kind of god you know. I'm not really that interested in controlling anyone, I just want to expand myself. Ability."

"I get it. What you want is evolution."

Murphy nodded, agreeing with this statement.

"Last question," Laura continued: "If it were possible in the future, would you mind sharing such authority with others?"

"What's the meaning?"

"If we find a way to turn ordinary people into wizards, or a way to turn ordinary wizards into gods, would you mind sharing this knowledge with others? Or would you rather stand at that peak alone? "

Murphy really hasn't thought about this question.

He thought for a moment and said: "I'm not sure about my choice. If you really find such a method, ask me again then."

Laura: "I understand."

Murphy watched her sit down, not knowing what the other party understood for a moment.

No one else asked any more questions, so Murphy stood up and said, "If there are no more problems, then please move to the next room one by one. We will sign the agreement one by one and make a magic oath."

…

Murphy was signing an agreement with Muggle researchers.

Another place underground.

On the second underground floor of the Ministry of Magic, Auror Headquarters, Director's Office.

Scrimgeour looked at the pile of report letters handed over by Delis and rubbed his forehead with a headache, "Are they all reporting on Murphy Darkholm?"

"Yes, Director. More and more evidence shows that Murphy is indeed engaging in actions that violate the Wizarding Secrecy Act!"

"Where does this report letter come from?"

"Simon Avery, Matthias Nott, Frederica Rozier..." Delis read five or six names in a row.

"Hmph, the twenty-eight tribes are not surprising."

"You mean, this is slander?"

"No, it's probably true that Murphy is doing bad things, but their reports don't have any good intentions. They just think this new rich man is too annoying. Maybe some of them have business conflicts with Murphy and want to use us Get rid of this opponent."

"Then we continue to stand by and watch?"

Scrimgeour was silent for a while, "What have you investigated before?"

"Murphy has recruited more than thirty pharmacists, each of whom needs to refine at least five or six pots of beautiful potions every day, but only a very small amount of these potions are sold in his Supreme Potion Store, and we suspect that the rest He sold it to Muggles."

"However, without a directive, we have no further investigation."

Scrimgeour thought and finally said: "Murphy is extremely cunning. From the last trial, it can be seen that this person is very cautious and good at deceiving people."

"If there is no definite evidence, even if we catch him, we can't do anything to him. If we want to prove his guilt, we must get tangible evidence!"

"Send someone disguised as a pharmacist to sneak into the pharmacy, bring a Muggle camera, and make sure you get definite evidence that he sold the potion to Muggles!"

…

It took a lot of effort for Murphy to get all the Muggles to sign the agreement and release the Thorns Oath to them.

The Oath of Thorns requires a fixed amount of magic power to be maintained. Murphy felt that after releasing the Oath of Thorns to more than a hundred Muggles, less than half of his magic power was locked up.

It’s really hard to imagine how the ancient Witch Queen managed to rule a small country?

At present, the Oath of Thorns can only be used for emergencies. In the future, when the research team expands several times and uses the Oath of Thorns, his magic power will be drained out, and he will still live forever.

Even now, the staff in those research institutes have not used the Thorn Oath for the time being because they do not have access to the core secrets. This will also be a hidden danger in the future, and some house elves must be found as soon as possible to replace them.

Thinking of this, Murphy's desire for the ideological stamp became even stronger.

However, things had to be done one by one, and now he had a more urgent task - he wanted to find a teacher for those Muggle researchers.

Murphy found Alex.

"Alex, you have a new job."

Alex was handling the raw materials of Baiyao. He turned around after hearing this, with a pair of dark circles under his eyes, "Boss, I'm already too busy. I have to break these materials into pieces, and I have to inspect and accept those beautiful potions... I'm so tired... "

Murphy: "Hiss..."

Who is this guy with a kidney-deficient look on his face?
