Buying Out the Sweet Shop to Make Hermione Furious
If you want to make someone angry, all you need to do is say one wrong thing.
“I get it. This thing isn’t really called the Emotional Chest System.”
“It should be called the Blood Pressure Spike System!”
“So, as long as I make someone’s blood pressure rise…”
The corners of Blake’s lips curled upward, and the smile on his face looked anything but kind.
“Blake…”
Mrs.
Marianne’s voice suddenly came from outside the door.
“What is it, Mrs. Marianne?”
Blake quickly tidied up the room before opening the door.
“Take this money and buy some sweets for the children at the orphanage. You can keep whatever is left as spending money.”
With a gentle smile, Mrs.
Marianne placed several banknotes into his hand.
“You don’t need to give me money, Mrs. Marianne… You know I have an income.”
…
Hermione Granger walked cheerfully along a quiet road in the outskirts of London.
With a smile on her face, she slipped a hand into her pocket, and her fingers soon touched a long, hard piece of wood.
It was the wand she had just received.
Thinking back over everything that had happened recently, Hermione still found it difficult to believe.
A month ago, an owl had flown to the Granger family’s home and delivered a very strange letter.
The letter clearly stated that she had been accepted into a school called Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
But magic was simply beyond the understanding of ordinary people.
Although receiving a letter by owl was certainly unusual, it still had not dispelled the Granger family’s suspicion that it was some kind of prank.
A few days ago, a stern-looking woman who introduced herself as Professor McGonagall had come to visit.
To prove that magic really existed, she had transformed Hermione’s father’s favorite vase into a cat right in front of the entire family.
From that moment onward, the wondrous world hidden within ordinary life had truly opened itself to Hermione.
“I never imagined I’d be a witch!”
“Why can’t September hurry up and get here already…”
In high spirits, Hermione looked up and noticed a sweet shop not far away.
Since her father was a dentist, she rarely ate foods containing a lot of sugar.
But today was different.
Surely indulging herself once in a while wouldn’t hurt, right?
Reassuring herself with that thought, Hermione pushed open the shop door and walked inside.
As soon as she entered, she saw a boy standing at the counter.
He had his back to the entrance, and his pale-golden hair was slightly messy.
Hermione glanced at him before looking away.
She planned to first examine the sweets in the glass display case and choose something suitable for herself.
At that moment, the boy suddenly raised his hand and pointed at several places in succession.
“Excuse me! This one, that one, and the one beside it!”
The round-faced shopkeeper asked with a smile, “Certainly. Would you like anything else?”
“No. Don’t include the ones I just pointed out. Pack up everything else.”
“What?”
The smile on the shopkeeper’s face immediately froze.
He had originally thought the child was joking.
But then, a thick stack of banknotes was placed on the counter.
Hermione, standing behind him, widened her eyes.
This was ridiculous!
He was buying all that?
How could one person possibly eat all of it?
Wait!
If he bought everything, wouldn’t there be nothing left for her to buy?
Hermione hurriedly examined the items the boy had deliberately excluded.
It turned out that those few things were just ordinary bread.
They weren’t even desserts.
This person…
He was so annoying!
…
Blake watched the shopkeeper’s startled expression with a grin, and a notification quickly appeared in his mind.
“Ding! Detected a target experiencing shock!”
“Ding! Determining whether a reward will be generated!”
“Ding! No chest obtained this time!”
“A little unfortunate.”
Blake sighed inwardly.
It seemed that this shopkeeper wasn’t exactly the capable type.
The quality of the sweets made that obvious too.
With an ordinary target, the chance of a reward appearing was naturally not very high.
Just as Blake was feeling a little disappointed, the system’s voice sounded again.
“Ding! Detected a target experiencing anger!”
“Ding! Beginning to draw the corresponding reward!”
“Ding! Congratulations, Host. You have obtained a Silver Chest!”
“Someone’s angry? Who?”
Blake turned around in confusion.
The next moment, he saw a cute little girl standing there with her cheeks puffed up.
Blake’s gaze lingered for a second on the girl’s two particularly prominent front teeth, and he quickly identified the source of the reward.
Hermione Granger.
One of the three main characters in the original story.
Her learning ability was far beyond that of her peers, which indeed fit the system’s criteria for an outstanding target.
No wonder she could provide a Silver Chest.
Just as Blake was thinking about this, the system sounded again.
“Ding! Anger and grievance are present simultaneously!”
“Ding! Calculating the reward result!”
“Ding! Congratulations, Host. You have obtained another Silver Chest!”
“Hiss…”
After hearing the success notification for the second time, Blake immediately perked up.
