When Tom woke up the next day, he opened the system panel and took a look. He was surprised to find that his credits not only did not decrease, but increased by 18 credits, and there were 3 achievement points.
I checked the system log and found out what was going on - I completely mastered the Levitation Charm, the Illumination Charm, and the Blink Charm, and obtained thirty credits.
Learn three magics and get three achievement points.
Tom fell into deep thought.
This learning space seemed like a perpetual motion machine. The credits given by learning anything could cover the loss, and he could even make some money. So he wouldn't have to worry about the consumption of space in the future.
However, he also knew that the bulk of the credits would probably be spent on the 'Extraordinary' buff.
His current points were only enough to last ten minutes, so he didn't even dare to try it for fear of wasting it.
What does it feel like?
Is it possible to make him fly?
Imagining the effects of the extraordinary state, Tom got up and washed, but did not enter the study space immediately.
Yesterday he and Andros had done an experiment. After he exited the study space, Andros could choose to sleep or move freely. And if he maintained the state of consuming points, Andros could also communicate with him and observe the outside world with the help of his eyes.
What is this, a Jinchūriki?
However, this did give Tom an idea. He could buy all the teaching materials first and put them in the learning space, and then he could go in to study after Andros had learned them. This would save a lot of points and time.
So he went out early in the morning, took a bus to the city center, entered Diagon Alley through the Leaky Cauldron, and went straight to the bookstore.
Although Tom didn't know what textbooks the senior grades would use, the clerk knew.
Tom went straight to a vacant clerk and explained his request.
The clerk looked at him in surprise after hearing what he said: "All the textbooks, kid, are you sure? You look like a first or second grader, there's no need to buy them all at once."
"Just like the Defense Against the Dark Arts course, the professor changes every year. You have no idea what book he will choose as the textbook, so it would be a waste to buy it."
Such a kind person, Tom was sure he must be a Hufflepuff.
"The knowledge you learn is yours. Even if the textbooks are changed, I won't lose anything. Instead of keeping the money to buy toys and snacks, I'd rather exchange it for books. I can sell them second-hand when I don't need them anymore."
The clerk looked at Tom in surprise. He didn't expect to hear such practical truth from a little kid.
The customer wanted to buy, so he had to sell it to him.
He had done his best by persuading him this time.
So the clerk pushed a small cart to find books for Tom.
After learning that Tom was a freshman, he said with certainty, "You will definitely be sorted into Ravenclaw, although I think Hufflepuff is the best house."
Tom nodded in agreement: "I also think Ravenclaw is good and suitable for me."
He wanted to be a top student, or even a genius at school. Among the four colleges, only Ravenclaw best suited his temperament.
Ten minutes later, the cart was already filled with heavy books, including not only the textbooks he needed, but also some books Tom had chosen himself.
After he went to the front desk and counted the money, he realized that he didn't have enough money.
He only spent fifteen Galleons to buy books yesterday, an average of two Galleons per book, but books for higher grades are getting more and more expensive. A book called "High Magic Power: Self-Defense Guide" costs seven Galleons.
Just like in f*****g Muggle society in the UK, textbooks are ridiculously expensive.
He had heard Arman complain that her son was studying at university and a book cost dozens of pounds, with the most expensive ones even costing hundreds of pounds, which was faster than robbing a bank.
Tom had no choice but to go to Gringotts and withdraw another 200 Galleons before he could settle the bill, and spent ten Sickles to have an owl deliver the goods to his door.
After buying the books, Tom had no plans to wander around. He just bought some fruit snacks at the nearby Waitrose supermarket and then returned home.
Waitrose is a high-end supermarket in the UK, and the food sold there is of the highest quality and freshest.
Although he was a poor guy in the wizarding world, the money he had in the Muggle world was enough for him to enjoy a high-quality life, and Tom would never compromise himself in this regard.
His appetite is larger than that of other people his age, but not too much. It's mainly because he consumes more energy through exercise.
You can protect yourself without magic but with your fists, and by the way... collect some protection money from those bad students.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, three owls flew in through the window, dragging books with them. Tom placed them one by one in the study space, but he himself did not go in.
He wanted to try out how much his learning efficiency differed between the outside world and the inside world.
.....
"Phew, this is really tiring."
At ten o'clock in the evening, Tom lay down on the bed and closed his eyes tiredly.
Generally speaking, a person's ability to concentrate highly will not exceed fifteen minutes. Once this limit is exceeded, concentration will decrease and the mind will begin to wander.
If you immerse yourself in something for more than two hours, you will start to feel irritated and your efficiency will drop further until you can't concentrate at all.
Except for the time for lunch, Tom studied from three o'clock to ten o'clock, but the most efficient time was the two hours before lunch. At night, he read the textbook as a textbook, which was not in a learning state at all.
The learning points gained in one day were only thirty, which was the same as the three hours last night.
I will consider the extraordinary state when I have more credits in the future. We cannot save money now and we need to use the study space efficiently.
After making his plans, Tom soon fell asleep.
For the next month, he did not go to Diagon Alley again and just studied magic at home every day.
Five hours a day, I entered the learning space to study with Andros, and the rest of the time I practiced freely in the real world.
In a blink of an eye, it was the day before school started.
