[Congratulations to the host for successfully combining ten gold treasure chests into one diamond treasure chest!]
[Would the host like to open the diamond chest?]
Was it Cro's imagination, or did the system's mechanical voice sound a little excited?
Cro shook his head, dismissing his wild thoughts.
He didn't choose to open the chest immediately. Instead, he got out of bed and ran to the bathroom.
Moments later, Cro wiped the water off his face and excitedly ran back to the bed.
"The three Unforgivable Curses, Fiendfyre, powerful magical creatures... I'm not asking for max-level, but give me something good! Diamond chest, open!"
Cro gulped in anticipation.
This was the first time he was opening a diamond chest, and he couldn't help but feel excited about what would come out.
[Congratulations to the host for opening a diamond chest and receiving: Supreme Dark Magic Talent!]
Supreme Dark Magic Talent: You are the darling of dark magic, born to be a Dark Lord!
You will find it extremely easy to master dark magic, your control over it will far surpass ordinary wizards, and the power of your dark spells will increase significantly!
Note: This is an opposing talent. The host must beware of hostility from white wizards!
Hiss~
Cro gasped and jumped out of bed.
"Supreme Dark Magic Talent? Born to be a Dark Lord? Sure, it sounds great... but are you trying to get me killed?"
"The headmaster of Hogwarts is the most powerful white wizard, Dumbledore. And you give me something like this, while also telling me to beware of white wizards' hostility?"
"With what? Should I defend myself with my head? Why don't you just kill me and find a new host?"
Cro collapsed back onto his bed, feeling hopeless.
Was this a joke?
A born Dark Lord enrolling at Hogwarts?
He didn't think Dumbledore and the others wouldn't notice.
Although this talent... was incredibly tempting.
But the cost was way too high. Unless he decided not to attend Hogwarts, find a safe place to hide, and only come out when he was invincible.
But that was obviously impossible.
"Sigh, I don't know if you're doing this on purpose or just trying to mess with me, but you'll get me killed one of these days!"
Cro complained, but the system remained silent, as if it didn't even exist.
"Fine, fine, fine! I refuse to believe it! Three diamond chests, and I'm not getting what I want?"
Cro glared angrily.
[Congratulations to the host for opening a diamond chest and receiving: Supreme Transfiguration Talent!]
Supreme Transfiguration Talent: A natural-born master of transfiguration, you can easily perform any transfiguration magic!
Note: This talent has reached its peak, and no further transfiguration talents will be obtained!
"Professor McGonagall's transfiguration talent, huh? Looks like this chest was contributed by her."
"The last chest must have come from her as well. I wonder what it will give me? Stone Knight Summoning? Animagus?"
"The final diamond chest, system, open it!!"
Cro perked up, rubbing his hands together in excitement.
[Congratulations to the host for opening a diamond chest and receiving: Supreme Magical Creature Affinity!]
Supreme Magical Creature Affinity: All magical creatures will naturally like you, no matter how dangerous they are!
Note: This talent has reached its peak, and no further creature affinity talents will be obtained!
Cro's face twitched slightly.
"Does Professor McGonagall have this talent? Are you sure this chest didn't come from Newt Scamander? What is this magical creature affinity?"
"Could it be Angeloid's talent? That doesn't make sense. If he had a supreme talent, why couldn't he tame Eve?"
Cro frowned, deep in thought.
He was quite certain this talent wasn't contributed by Professor McGonagall.
But at that time, the only people who could have given him a diamond chest were McGonagall and Angeloid.
So what kind of emotions was Angeloid feeling when he dropped a diamond chest?
And why would the chest contain such a talent?
Cro's eyes flickered.
"Angeloid must have some magical creature affinity talent; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to open a shop for owls. After all, taming owls isn't easy."
"But his talent level must be low, probably just beginner or intermediate, otherwise Eve would have been tamed by now."
"That leaves only one possibility: the chest amplified the talent. Even if the person who dropped the chest only had a beginner talent, a high-level chest could still yield a supreme talent."
At this realization, Cro shook his head in exasperation.
"It's a pity that people with low talents are not strong, and the probability of them dropping high-tier chests is abysmally low."
"This time, it must have been Angeloid's shock when I insulted Malfoy, along with his fear of implicating his little shop, that made him drop a diamond chest."
Cro lay back on the bed, gazing at the starry sky outside the window.
"It seems that the ideology of pure-blood supremacy is deeply ingrained in the wizarding world. Even a declining pure-blood family isn't something an ordinary wizard can provoke."
"No wonder the Weasley family has fallen so far, yet Arthur Weasley can still become a Ministry of Magic official."
A small smile crept across Cro's face.
He had just thought of a new way to farm treasure chests.
It seemed that Slytherin, the house filled with pure-blood wizards, was a place he couldn't avoid!
