Chapter 14 While speaking, Hagrid noticed that the contractors known for their agility were absent, and Ripper Jack was also nowhere to be seen. Obviously, those contractors who had formed teams were more concerned about this issue. Fante, frowning, took the lead in asking,

"Mr. Hagrid, what about those chosen by Mr. Filch?"

Hagrid stroked his beard and said,

"They were sent directly to Filch through the fireplace—if there are no problems, please hurry."

Next, they naturally took a boat across the lake, but the treatment of Fang Senyan's group of contractors was naturally not comparable to that of the protagonist. They could only take a distant look at Hogwarts School, and then sail west. Along the way, they passed the famous Quidditch field, and then passed the lawn where flying lessons were taught—the weeds on it had grown knee-deep—and finally arrived near the deep and strange Forbidden Forest, where four large wooden houses stood, which should be the residences Hogwarts School had arranged for them.

"Alright, folks," Hagrid clapped his hands and said, "Welcome to temporarily become a member of the great Hogwarts School—this short job will bring you unprecedented thrills and excitement, and of course, enough financial resources—so for your safety, please be sure to remember my following advice."

"The vicinity of the castle is a forbidden area, you cannot enter."

"There are many dangers in the forest behind you, and we do not advocate that you enter it either. However, the edge of the Forbidden Forest is equipped with powerful magical barriers, so you don't have to worry about the safety of your residence."

"I believe you have experienced quite a few incredible things today, but in the next period of time, you will be exposed to more strange things—in your words, things that science cannot explain—don't panic, if you feel that there is a problem, come to me, I live in the forester's hut two hundred meters away."

"If you want to seek some relaxation and stimulation in your spare time, my suggestion is to fish by the beautiful Black Lake, or have a football match or something. There are alcoholic beverages and some strange gadgets for sale in the small lounge at the train station. Work officially starts tomorrow, good night friends."

Watching Hagrid's huge figure sway away in the sunset, the remaining ten contractors immediately divided into three distinct camps. Unexpectedly, the largest camp had a full five people, led by a contractor named Crowbar. The second group was naturally led by Fante, whose strength reached 28 points, with three people. And the third group was naturally lone wolves like Fang Senyan. In addition to Fang Senyan, there was also a guy named Das. This contractor was aloof, with his arms crossed in front of his chest, looking neutral. It seemed that he must have strong personal strength to be able to put on such a posture of sitting on the mountain to watch the tigers fight.

Although Fante's trio was at a disadvantage in terms of numbers, they were obviously fearless in the face of Crowbar's group. After a stalemate for a while, Fante sneered:

"Crowbar, let me tell you, the Banks Gang is determined to win this time!"

Crowbar sneered:

"What about the Banks Gang? Our Symbiosis Society has spent a lot of money to buy the prop Aggregate Stone this time, so that all members can enter the world of Harry Potter. Although your forces are strong, can you still send reinforcements at this time? If your Banks Gang dares to ruin our good deeds, then just wait to be bloodbathed!"

"Bloodbathed? Just you, Crowbar? Hahaha!"

After Fante finished speaking, he led his men away, and deliberately bumped Crowbar's shoulder hard like a demonstration, occupying the largest wooden house. A sinister and vicious light flashed in Crowbar's eyes. After a moment of silence, he also led his men to another wooden house.

There were originally four wooden houses here. Each wooden house could accommodate five or six people without any problem, and they were quite clean. The Banks Gang occupied one room, the Symbiosis Society occupied one, and there were two wooden houses left, which happened to become Fang Senyan and Das's single villas.

Fang Senyan deeply knew the truth that a big tree attracts the wind, and had always been quite low-key. He also slept extremely cautiously at night. After all, there was already a 33% chance of getting benefits from killing contractors now. This provided enough motivation for contractors to commit murder! Fortunately, there were no major conflicts among the contractors at this time, so it was quite peaceful and nothing happened overnight.

Early the next morning, Hagrid came here with a bag in his hand, which contained ten badges. He told everyone to be sure to carry them with them as proof, otherwise they would be responsible for the consequences. After Fang Senyan obtained this "identity card" called the Hogwarts Badge, the Nightmare Imprint immediately gave a prompt:

"Main Quest: Credentials Completed."

"You have gained 1 point of merit."

"Subsequent Main Quest: Recognition Activated."

"Mission Content: Obtain the qualification to remain in Hogwarts School after the new students enter the school."

"Mission Description: You are currently in a trial period, and you will be expelled if anything goes wrong. You must obtain Hagrid's approval within the remaining five days, and your relationship with him must reach neutral."

"Mission Tip: Hagrid's current impression of you is indifferent (10/1000). You can improve his impression of you by completing the tasks issued by Hagrid. It is not ruled out that there are other ways to improve his impression."

"Mission Tip: If you cannot complete this series of main quests, then 5000 Universal Points will be deducted, but your stay in this world will be extended by one week. If you cannot pay the deducted 5000 Universal Points by then, then you will be obliterated."

Note: The relationship between contractors and plot characters is: Hostile, Indifferent, Neutral, Friendly, Respectful, Reverent, Adoration.

Hostile does not need to be said.

Indifferent: This plot character generally will not care about you and almost never takes the initiative to communicate with you.

Neutral: This plot character has some impression of you. If this plot character/affiliated force has specialty products for sale, then you can buy prestige specialty products that can only be purchased under a friendly relationship by paying twice the currency.

Friendly: This plot character treats you as a friend and can buy specialty products under this relationship at the original price. You cannot view and purchase prestige specialty products of the respectful or above level.

The rest can be inferred.

After everyone had put on their badges, Hagrid began to assign everyone's work. Fang Senyan was pleasantly surprised to be assigned the job of repairing the boats in the Black Lake. The description of the task was: because the peak period for using boats is coming, the wooden boats used to ferry students must be thoroughly maintained.

This task was undoubtedly extremely bad news for the rest of the people, but Fang Senyan was very familiar with the maintenance of seagoing ships, and these small wooden boats soaked in the lake were simply a piece of cake. Hagrid budgeted him two days, but Fang Senyan finished it in one morning plus half an afternoon, and he did it cleanly without any flaws. After completing this task, Hagrid's impression of Fang Senyan increased by a full 266 points! I believe that if it weren't for Fang Senyan's pitifully low charm holding him back, this task might have completed one-third of the goal!

However, Fang Senyan was not the only lucky one. Das, who received the job of trimming the lawn, worked from morning to dusk, and actually managed the entire lawn of the flying class cleanly! It should be known that trimming the lawn is both a physical job and has enough technical content in it. First, the strength of the trimming must be determined according to the local air and soil humidity, and secondly, the habits of the main grass planted on the lawn must be understood, so as to facilitate fertilization after trimming. If more strict requirements are required, it must also take into account the work of eradicating weeds.

A lawn that has been taken care of by an experienced gardener is both beautiful and generous, and there will be no obvious weeds appearing within three months. If a novice goes, clumps of dead traces will often appear on the lawn after a week, just like several small tufts of hair have been pulled off the person's head, which is very ugly. And weeds often run rampant in about a month. It can be seen that the gold content of Das's work is no less than that of Fang Senyan.

The rest of the contractors could not know that Fang Senyan and Das had completed the task and made a big profit, but the smile on Hagrid's face when handing in the task could not be faked. They naturally had a bit more coldness in their eyes when they looked at Fang Senyan and Das. I believe that if there were no conflicts between the Banks Gang and the Symbiosis Society, they would have already done something. Fang Senyan saw it in his eyes and remembered it in his heart, secretly adding a bit more vigilance. On the other hand, Das still looked indifferent.

Early the next morning, Hagrid began to arrange work again, and Fang Senyan's luck also came to an end this time. He was actually asked to lure and capture a Quiet Bird at the edge of the Forbidden Forest, and what's even more hateful is that Fang Senyan had to catch it alive…

Fortunately, Hagrid also gave Fang Senyan some information, from which he could learn that the Quiet Bird is a small blue bird with spots on its body that eats small insects. It does not chirp once in its life until the moment of death, when it makes a long, sharp cry, calling out all the sounds it has heard in its life, starting with the best-sounding sounds. Its feathers can be used in Veritaserum and Recollection Potion. Its range of activity is everywhere except the center of the Forbidden Forest.

Fang Senyan was naturally completely ignorant about catching birds. Obviously, this series of tasks was testing the team's collaboration ability. If Fang Senyan joined a team, then people who had had this experience would naturally put down their tasks to catch birds for him, while Fang Senyan could do the things he was good at. Unfortunately, in the current situation where the two teams were vigilant and defensive, Fang Senyan also found it difficult to integrate into one of them hypocritically.
