Chapter 88 Operational Methods
The news that a fifth-grade student had become the patriarch of a pure-blood family spread quickly among those in the know, circulated among the banquet invitees, and was exchanged and disseminated rapidly.
An unprecedented event occurred, causing undercurrents to surge in the magical world, like turbulent waves beneath the surface of the sea, with many questions raised.
The extravagant and decadent affair came to an end, and the guests from all directions dispersed.
For the first time, members of the Adventurers' Club took a nighttime stroll through Hogwarts Castle under the watchful eye of Professor Snape.
"Good heavens, I can't believe it. Our second night out was with Snape." Harry didn't dare to breathe softly until Snape and the others went down to the basement. He then whispered to the Weasley twins beside him.
"Let alone walking around Hogwarts with Snape for one night, we've never walked around the night with a professor in all this time we've been doing it," George said.
"This is a one-off," Fred said. "We're going to the Adventurers' Club with Ryan, so we won't be going back to the dorm."
Ryan spoke to Vio at the front of the crowd: "I need to ask for leave tomorrow to go to the Tower of Fantasy in Diagon Alley to do some preparatory work."
I'll go tomorrow if I have time.
"It feels like your marketing timeline for this communicator is a bit rushed." Vio had wanted to ask this question from the beginning, but he hadn't been able to find the opportunity.
The base was built and the production process was completed in just a few days. Marketing was also underway, but there was no pre-launch promotion. This wasn't Ryan's usual approach. Based on Vio's understanding of Ryan, if he were to proceed with this plan normally, he would first create hype, then get pure-blood families to voluntarily promote his products, and finally drive purchases from the wizarding world.
"Good eye. Because this is only part of the plan."
In response to Vio's doubts, Lane said that although he had some doubts about whether Dumbledore's plan would succeed, even the slightest chance of capturing the legendary Elf Voldemort was far more important than the first-day sales of the communicator.
"Can I tell you about the plan?"
"If it were still the original plan, I might say so, but now plans can't keep up with changes. The newly revised plan is too dangerous, and this new instance is not suitable for young wizards to participate in."
Ryan shrugged. If it were the original savior development plan, all he would need to do was talk some nonsense in front of the wounded Voldemort and stall for time.
But the current plan to capture Voldemort is no longer a small-scale operation.
He didn't believe anyone in the Adventurers' Club could withstand a single blow from Voldemort, the Outlaw, the Slightly Dead Man.
"I understand," Vio said, and then the two parted ways.
The Weasley twins followed Ryan to the second floor, while the rest of the group scattered and headed to their respective house's common room.
Upon arriving at the Adventurers' Club, the three pulled out chairs and sat down.
Ryan began by saying, "First, I need to tell you what kind of game Academy Kill is."
As he spoke, he listed virtual images of Chocolate Frog cards, but these images depicted wizards from different eras of the four houses of Hogwarts.
"This looks a lot like Chocolate Frog cards!"
"That's right. We've turned the famous wizards from the four houses of Hogwarts over the past thousand years into virtual cards, condensed their deeds into card skills, and let the cards battle against each other. That's the main gameplay."
Ryan used magic to create a demonstration of the game "School Killer," which George and Fred could see clearly.
"Each turn you'll have a different hand. Use attack cards, which are called 'Kill' cards," he explained.
Then, the card depicting Dumbledore unleashed a blazing fire attack on the card depicting Voldemort.
"If Voldemort's side doesn't use an evasion card at this point, that is, dodge, then he will lose one point of health."
Then, on the side of the card depicting Voldemort, the five dots were changed to four dots.
After a few rounds of simulation, George and Fred, who were watching, couldn't contain their curiosity and wanted to try this game themselves.
"It's not installed in the current communicator yet, because you'll be responsible for the game's subsequent operation, including updates," Ryan said.
He explained in detail to the two how to operate a game that receives rave reviews from players.
First, to obtain Wizard cards, you need to draw cards, which requires spending a lot of Natsicogalons.
At the same time, there is no pity system when drawing cards.
Secondly, they need to continuously release different skins for the same character, with different qualities, and clearly price them; you can't do it without spending money.
The only principle behind the events launched in the game is "money is everything" and "happiness is created with salary".
Finally, there's no need for balance; whoever spends more is right. Moreover, players' questions are ignored, and those who raise sharp questions are silenced. These insightful and penetrating marketing tactics sent chills down the Weasley twins' spines.
They hurriedly interrupted Ryan's explanation of the plan: "Is this really reasonable?"
"Of course, the river!" Ryan argued confidently, believing that this marketing tactic would definitely attract capable wizards to come through the internet and find the developer, then throw them into the river.
How can this not be called River?
The naive Weasley brothers nodded blankly, thinking that since Ryan had said so, they would do it.
The three discussed it all night, until the early hours of the morning. The Weasley brothers still maintained their high spirits: "When can we start working?"
"Tomorrow—oh, no, today—Vio is going to the Tower of Fantasy. You can go with him. I've already completed the alchemy device to implant the game into the communicator. You just need to feed the overall game framework to the alchemy device," Ryan said. "However, I'm simply too busy to handle everything. The subsequent maintenance and updates will all depend on you. I hope you won't find it troublesome."
"No trouble at all, no trouble at all, I'd be more than happy to, I'd be more than happy to." The two nodded repeatedly.
Watching the two quiet, red-haired boys leave, Ryan silently prayed for them for a second.
Then, he suddenly realized that he seemed to have nothing to worry about.
Dumbledore handled the Merlin Medal matter, and he also orchestrated the entire operation to kill Voldemort.
Leave the communicator to Vio, and the game operations to the Weasley twins.
"I don't recall there being many Dean's classes today. That means I can go to the Room of Requirement and continue working on my external magic device."
As he was saying this, he suddenly saw a silver phoenix guardian flying in hastily.
"Damn it, I've got a job coming up." Ryan's vision went black.
Does the wizarding world have a law protecting underage wizards?
He felt there weren't any, only laws restricting the behavior of underage wizards.
The Phoenix Patronus spoke in Dumbledore's voice: "Regarding the Order of Merlin, I have already written to some friends. Now go directly to the gates of Hogwarts Castle and come with me; someone wants to see you."
