Dumbledore had a feeling that he was facing a robot.
No matter how skillfully he conversed with Zheng Fan, even imbuing his words with mana, he couldn't find anything wrong with Zheng Fan. This left him both amused and exasperated. He could only tentatively conclude that Zheng Fan had no connection with the Dark Wizard camp. Otherwise, it was impossible for a child of this age to have such a powerful Occlumency that even he couldn't break through, right?
Dumbledore felt relieved and apologized to Zheng Fan. Although this year was crucial for the wizarding world, his unfounded suspicion of a child was a bit excessive.
Zheng Fan politely accepted Dumbledore's apology and behaved perfectly throughout.
This was the ability bestowed upon him by the Mechanized Mind Module.
When the Mechanized Mind Module was activated, all of Zheng Fan's thought patterns would prioritize goal - achievement. Meanwhile, his surface thoughts were also under the module's control, making it impossible for even Dumbledore to see through him.
"This is the power of the All-Powerful Module System..." Zheng Fan couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
While casually chatting with Dumbledore, Zheng Fan was also consulting the system in his head.
"System, you just said that besides the lottery you gave me, I can also exchange for modules and buy lottery chances. How can I do the exchange?"
"There are many ways to obtain exchange points. The two simplest ones are: first, complete system tasks; second, sell skills to the system."
"Sell skills? Does it include the magic of this world?"
"Yes."
Zheng Fan's mind stirred, and he looked at Dumbledore.
"Sir."
"Hmm?" Dumbledore was explaining what magic was to Zheng Fan. Suddenly interrupted, he showed a curious look.
"You just said that Hogwarts is a school that teaches magic, right?"
"Of course. Hogwarts exists for this purpose." Dumbledore nodded.
"Then can I study here? I also want to become a wizard!"
Joining Hogwarts, learning magic, and then reselling it to the system was the plan Zheng Fan came up with!
Originally, he thought Dumbledore would have to think about it for a while. Unexpectedly, as soon as he made the request, Dumbledore nodded.
"If you wish, I, on behalf of Hogwarts, welcome you." Having said this, he paused and looked at Zheng Fan.
"My name is Zheng Fan, Mr. Dumbledore."
"On behalf of Hogwarts, welcome, Mr. Zheng Fan." Dumbledore blinked, as if considering whether to reverse the order of this obviously Oriental name. But after thinking about it, he still pronounced the name according to Zheng Fan's habit.
"Ah, by the way, Zheng." Dumbledore suddenly showed an expression of sudden realization.
"I have to say upfront that although I'm personally willing to show you around the school before the new semester begins, unfortunately, I have some work that I have to do myself this summer. So, if possible, can we meet here again in a month?"
By that time, although school won't have started yet, all of our teachers will be here. I'm sure they won't mind teaching a knowledge - thirsty student some useful knowledge before the new semester begins."
"No problem, Mr. Dumbledore. You go ahead and do your thing. But I'm afraid I'll have to borrow some money. I'll definitely pay you back within the first semester."
"Of course." With that, Dumbledore took out his wand from his pocket and tapped it gently in his palm. A small cloth bag appeared in his hand.
"Thirty - five Galleons ought to cover your expenses."
"Thanks." Zheng Fan took the bag. "There's one more thing I'd like to trouble you with."
"What is it?"
"Could you teach me a few spells, mate?" Zheng Fan asked with a big grin.
...
At noon that day, as the green flames blazed in a street - side fireplace, Zheng Fan slowly stepped out.
This was Diagon Alley, the "supermarket" for wizards.
The System's voice sounded in his mind: "You successfully evaded the mental peeping of the White Wizard Dumbledore with an S - grade completion. You've earned 150 reward points and one normal draw chance!"
"Start the normal draw." Zheng Fan said, while making a note of how he got the rewards. It seemed that even without a pre - assigned task, he could get rewards when he survived some crises.
"Normal draw starts... Congratulations, Host! You've won the Eagle - Eye Vision! This module is non - essential. Do you want to install it?"
"Eagle - Eye Vision?" Zheng Fan was delighted. "Can I long - press 'E' to see through and mark enemies?"
"I can't understand the way you explain it. After the Eagle - Eye Vision module is activated, you'll gain an observation ability similar to the 'God's perspective'. You can greatly improve your battlefield control and prevent someone from sneaking up on you from your blind spots."
Zheng Fan was stunned. This was an amazing skill!
With this module, when he fights in the future, it'll be very convenient. It'll be like operating a game character!
"Install the module!"
"Received. The module is being installed... Installation complete! There are two remaining module slots!"
As soon as the module was installed, Zheng Fan couldn't wait to activate it.
The next second, his perspective suddenly became extremely high, as if he were standing in mid - air looking down.
He could see that he was standing in front of the fireplace.
He could also see that not far to his left, two wizards were haggling in front of a stall.
Just then, Zheng Fan suddenly saw that in the crowd not far away, a man was reaching into a female wizard's robe pocket!
"What the hell!" Seeing this, Zheng Fan couldn't help swearing. How could there be such a person in the wizarding world!
He deactivated the Eagle - Eye Vision and was about to go over, but he found that after deactivating it, the man had disappeared from his sight!
He activated the Eagle - Eye Vision again and saw the thief.
"So that's how it is... The Eagle - Eye Vision can see through invisibility! This isn't a normal draw at all. It's more like a gold draw!"
"After excitedly clenching his fist, Zheng Fan used God's perspective to control himself to rush forward while shouting, "There's an invisible thief! Catch this son of a bitch!!!"
