Chapter 3: Exchange for a New Module

Minerva McGonagall, the vice - principal of the magic school Hogwarts, came to Diagon Alley after the school's summer vacation to purchase some materials.

As she was strolling slowly on the street, the Detect Malice magic attached to her accessory suddenly activated.

She didn't even need to turn around to know that someone was using the Disillusionment Charm (a spell similar to invisibility) to approach and steal from her. The Disillusionment Charm is a high - level spell, so those who can use it are generally not weak. The person must not be an ordinary thief. No wonder none of the surrounding wizards noticed!

She reached into her pocket to grab her wand.

Just then, a boy's shout suddenly came from the side:

"There's an invisible thief! Catch that thief!!!"

McGonagall was stunned.

The invisible thief reaching into McGonagall's pocket was also stunned.

Looking at Zheng Fan running towards them, McGonagall showed a curious expression. Who was this young man? How could he see through such a high - level Disillusionment Charm? Could he be the descendant of some great family? But that couldn't be right. She'd never seen him before.

As for the invisible thief, he was not curious but angry. In his opinion, he was about to succeed. He was about to steal the important documents from McGonagall, but his plan was ruined by some kid out of the blue!

The invisible thief whispered a curse and then unhesitatingly took out his wand from his clothes and pointed it at Zheng Fan.

Several wizards around looked in the direction of the invisible man. Although they couldn't see him, they could feel the Mana fluctuations of someone about to cast a spell on the street!

McGonagall frowned and was about to stop him from casting the spell.

At this time, Zheng Fan was looking curiously. In his Eagle - Eye Vision, a red circle appeared above the invisible thief's head. There was a red light around the circle that was slowly counting down. Obviously, the red circle meant that someone was casting a spell on him, and the countdown outside indicated how long it would be before the spell was launched!

"This Eagle - Eye Vision is truly a divine skill," Zheng Fan praised and raised his hand towards the invisible thief.

McGonagall looked at Zheng Fan with great interest and stopped what she was doing. At the same time, she nodded to several wizards around, indicating that they didn't need to worry.

As a senior wizard in the field of spells, McGonagall had absolute confidence and wanted to observe Zheng Fan's performance. Even if Zheng Fan failed, she could save him.

The invisible thief wizard quickly said, "Reducto!"

"Too slow," Zheng Fan waved his hand gently. "Protego!"

As the spell was spoken, a semi - transparent shield suddenly enveloped him. The red evil spell that had just come flying was bounced back with a bang and hit the invisible thief directly. With a scream, the thief was released from the Disillusionment Charm. He covered his broken arm and roared in pain.

"Spell - casting without a wand?!" Seeing this, McGonagall was finally surprised. "Impossible. Even senior wizards specializing in combat, only a few can cast such a powerful Protego without a wand!"

The wizards passing by also cast surprised glances at Zheng Fan.

"So powerful! How old could he be? He looks like he's just a freshman, but he can cast such a powerful Protego!"

"No, that's not right. It's not that his spell is powerful. When he cast the spell just now, his control was not perfect. The reason the Protego was so strong is that his Mana is incredibly large. Even a casual release of it can be several times more powerful than others'!"

"What a terrifying amount of Mana... Are freshmen these days so scary?"

"Did I have too much butterbeer just now? No way, I gotta find a place to come to grips with this reality!"

Amid the discussions of the surrounding wizards, Professor McGonagall flicked her wand gently, subdued the thief, and then walked up to Zheng Fan.

"Thank you for your help, young man."

Zheng Fan didn't react much to Professor McGonagall calling him a young man. Not only at the age of eleven now, but even when he was in his twenties before time - traveling, he was just a kid in front of Professor McGonagall.

"It's everyone's responsibility to act bravely in the face of evil," Zheng Fan said, patting his chest with a grunt, which made Professor McGonagall not know whether to laugh or cry. During the battle just now, this little guy seemed full of momentum and confidence. Unexpectedly, he also had a sense of humor when talking.

"Kid, you ruined our good deed. We won't let you go!" Next to them, the wizard who was bound by Professor McGonagall's spell cursed at Zheng Fan.

Zheng Fan glanced at him. "Is it really a good idea for you to expose the fact that you have accomplices? If I were your teammate, I'd definitely send you a hex."

Hearing this, the wizard suddenly realized and shut his mouth tightly, which made Zheng Fan deeply understand what it means that IQ is really a problem here.

"...We seem to have met before. Are you the young man who was brought into the school by the headmaster this morning?" Just as Zheng Fan was looking at the wizard pityingly, Professor McGonagall suddenly asked thoughtfully.

She didn't pay much attention to the captive. As the deputy headmistress of Hogwarts, she had experienced many such things. Where there are people, there is a complex and competitive social environment (Jianghu, a concept similar to the martial world in Chinese culture), and the wizarding world is no exception.

Zheng Fan nodded. "Yes, my name is Zheng Fan. I've just got the headmaster's permission to become a student at Hogwarts this year to learn more knowledge and magic."

"With your strength, you still plan to study at school?" Professor McGonagall subconsciously asked a question that a teacher shouldn't ask.

Zheng Fan didn't mind. He just smiled. "You're never too old to learn. There are too many things in this world that I don't understand. So it has nothing to do with my strength. I just simply want to learn more."

These simple words won Professor McGonagall's admiration.

After chatting for a while, Professor McGonagall had important things to do, so she said goodbye to Zheng Fan first. She quickly left with her captive and told Zheng Fan before leaving that she would let him know if there were any results from the interrogation.

Zheng Fan didn't really care about this. What he cared about was whether the System considered the previous incident as a task.

It seemed he was lucky. As soon as Professor McGonagall left, a prompt sound rang out.

"You have successfully defeated an intermediate wizard and gained the recognition of Professor McGonagall. The completion level is Grade B+, and you have obtained 85 reward points!"

Adding the previous 150 points, that makes a total of 235 reward points!

Zheng Fan flipped through the items that could be exchanged with the points. The All-Powerful Module System didn't seem to be very comprehensive in terms of exchanges. There weren't many items available for exchange, but basically all of them were quite useful.

A normal draw cost 1000 points each time, and a gold draw cost 10000 points each time. This was still the newbie discounted price. Zheng Fan didn't have the mind to save up that many points for a draw for the moment. He planned to exchange for some useful things first.

Soon, Zheng Fan found his target.

"System, exchange for a primary memory storage module!"
