Hogwarts: Start with Full-Level Unforgivable Curses.

Chapter 138: One Million Galleons

Dylan's robe hem swept over the lingering warmth of the common room's fireplace. He led Fred and George back to their dormitory, one on each side, as if he were carrying two sons.

Looking at their expectant gazes, Dylan sighed helplessly.

"Didn't you run out of your amethysts already?"

At the mention of this, Fred and George immediately began to pour out their woes to Dylan.

"When we came to find you today, Neville said you had taken leave to go to Diagon Alley—"

His voice suddenly rose sharply, sounding a bit like a strangled owl.

"If we had known earlier, we would have asked you to help us find some unwanted crystals there!"

"Ugh! After we sold out of the amethysts today, someone offered to sell us some raw materials, but do you know how much they wanted?"

"Almost half of our profit! They're absolutely crazy! We'd rather just sell wooden signs!"

Dylan blinked, waved his wand, and a large box of crystals appeared on his bed.

Yellow, blue, green, purple, pink… all kinds were there.

The light from the crystals made the twins' voices stop abruptly, their eyes wide and almost popping out.

"Dylan—don't tell me—"

"You bought these back for us!"

Dylan looked at them as if they were idiots. "What else?"

"Otherwise, would I buy so many useless things just to put them on display for fun?"

"Merlin's mighty beard! I can't believe it!"

"Dylan, we love you!"

Dylan smacked each of them.

"Get out of here."

"Yes, sir!"

The twins immediately stood at attention at the foot of Dylan's bed.

"I must have owed you two in a past life."

Dylan gripped his wand, light radiating from it. With two spells, he cast a Shield Charm on the pile of crystals.

"Alright, take them."

Fred and George's Adam's apples bobbed in unison, their swallowing sounds particularly loud in the suddenly silent dormitory.

The two brothers resembled hungry dogs spotting food by the roadside.

They lunged at the pile of crystals.

"With so many varieties, we can definitely sell thousands of Galleons worth!"

"Maybe even several thousand!"

"Dylan, just wait for your cut!"

"We'll trick people into believing they're rare millennium-old amulets!"

Dylan impatiently waved his hand, urging them to leave quickly and stop delaying his important business.

—He wondered which unlucky soul would fall for their trickery.

"Oh, right, this is your share."

George and Fred put the protective crystals Dylan had made into a small, rather worn-out-looking satchel. As they were about to leave, Fred paused.

He took out half of the Galleons they had earned from selling the crystals and clattered them onto Dylan's bed.

The dull gold light of the Galleons shimmered, clinking as they collided.

Dylan raised an eyebrow slightly. "You actually sold those amethysts for over two hundred Galleons?"

The twins grinned triumphantly. "It's all because your spells are so effective, Dylan!"

Since it was still the weekend, the twins were eager to do business. They said goodbye to Dylan and slipped out of the room.

Neville, who was tidying his desk, heard the clinking of Galleons, looked back, and remarked, "They're really good at making money."

"I've seen them selling those charms to other students. I almost believed the stories they told."

Dylan chuckled. "They certainly have a knack for making money, otherwise I wouldn't have helped them."

Dylan put all the Galleons into his money inventory, then pulled out a book, used a Cleaning Charm to remove dust from himself, quickly took off his shoes, and lay on the bed.

He didn't even check the achievements he had completed this time, instead planning to unlock the suitcase's ecological environment first.

He couldn't wait to see how his suitcase would transform into a miniature world!

"I'm going to read now," Dylan murmured.

"Okay, I'll be quiet," Neville nodded, no longer disturbing him.

Dylan opened the book, pretending to read, but in reality, his attention was fixed on the money section of his character panel.

——————

[Money]: 1,335,190 Galleons

——————

This time, Dylan had exchanged all his Sickles, Knuts, and pounds into Galleons.

This brought his total Galleons to a staggering over one million three hundred thousand!

It was already a truly astonishing figure!

"It's a shame, I've just saved up over a million, and now I'm going to wipe out a huge portion of it."

Dylan sighed inwardly, then shifted his attention to the pet space suitcase in his item inventory.

——————

[Item]: Pet Space Suitcase

[Description]: A suitcase that its owner finally deigned to spend money on transforming.

[Abilities]: Space Connection, Space Expansion, Self-Contained, Ability to be unlocked…

——————

Space Connection and Space Expansion were abilities the suitcase already possessed.

As for Self-Contained, it was a new ability Dylan had unlocked earlier for ten thousand Galleons—allowing the suitcase to be directly stored in his item inventory.

This meant it wouldn't be unable to fit into the system panel just because there were living beings inside.

It meant he didn't have to carry it by hand wherever he went.

While convenient to carry, it also offered higher security.

—No one could possibly steal it.

After all, this suitcase was something he planned to invest heavily in nurturing in the future. If someone were to steal it, he would transform into an Obscurus and take the entire world down with him!

"Alright, alright, let me see what this internal ecological self-circulation, worth a full one million Galleons and five million pounds, actually does!"

[Message]: Do you want to spend 1,000,000 Galleons to unlock the internal ecological self-circulation ability?

[Message]: Do you want to spend 100,000 Galleons to unlock the forest ecological environment? [Message]: Do you want to spend 235,190 Galleons to expand the suitcase space?

"Yes!"

"Yes!!"

"Yes!!!"

Dylan agreed to all of them in one go.

That's how generous he was!

And it felt so good! [Message]: You spent 235,190 Galleons to expand 23,519 cubic meters of space! [Message]: You spent 100,000 Galleons to unlock the forest ecological environment! [Message]: You spent 1,000,000 Galleons to unlock the internal ecological self-circulation ability!

As the system prompts poured out one after another,

Dylan quickly glanced at the suitcase's panel.

——————

[Item]: Pet Space Suitcase

[Description]: A suitcase that its owner finally deigned to spend money on transforming.

[Space]: 36,750 cubic meters

[Abilities]: Space Connection, Space Expansion, Self-Contained, Internal Ecological Self-Circulation, Pet Location and Summoning (to be unlocked)…

[Ecology]: Forest ——————

"Excellent!"

Seeing the changes in the suitcase's description on the panel, Dylan felt utterly delighted.

—If he just ignored that slightly nonsensical description.

"Now, let me see how the suitcase has actually been transformed!"

Dylan closed the book and directly picked up the suitcase.

"I'm going to do some research for a while. You don't have to wait for me for dinner."

After informing Neville, Dylan eagerly slipped inside.

In an instant, a moist, earthy scent, which hadn't been there before, wafted over with a gentle breeze.

Over thirty thousand cubic meters of air unfolded with a roar in the folded space. The scent of decaying oak and the fresh, sweet smell of new moss battled in Dylan's nostrils.

The suitcase space, which had previously been empty, filled with numerous bookshelves and shelves, was now completely different! What met his eyes was a rather lush forest.

Dylan lowered his head. Under his feet was soft earth, covered with a thick layer of fallen leaves. One step was enough for his boot to sink deep into the humus layer.

Every step produced a faint "rustling" sound.

Looking up, tall, sturdy trees surrounded him.

Dylan slowly walked around twice. After all, it was only over thirty thousand cubic meters, and that was volume, not flat area.

Therefore, although the sky was a bit higher, the forest area wasn't particularly large, similar to a cultivated forest. Dylan estimated it to be about the size of two standard football fields.

But regardless, this small forest now made his suitcase space feel truly alive.

Not only was there wind in the air, but a refreshing scent of resin mixed with grass permeated, and if he sniffed carefully, he could even detect a faint hint of floral fragrance within.

The chirping of insects and birds could be heard, and occasionally, small animals darted through the bushes.

"Unlocking the ecological environment can also bring in some life?"

Dylan's eyes lit up.

But thinking about it, this was normal.

After all, this small space's internal ecological self-circulation ability had cost him a million Galleons to unlock!

Without these small creatures, where would the ecological cycle come from?

"This was a good deal!"

It was important to remember that as the space continued to be expanded with his Galleons,

the ecological environment he unlocked would also expand simultaneously with the space due to the self-circulation ability! Furthermore, not only that, the suitcase space could also be controlled by Dylan's will, slowly influencing the boundaries and divisions between ecosystems! He was like a creator! The money spent was absolutely worth it! A good investment!

Dylan looked towards a corner of this forest.

There was still a simple small house there.

It was crafted by Dylan using magic spells before.

It also contained Dylan's previously stored items.

Such as the experiment table, spider enclosures, and so on. As for the various bookshelves and shelves, they were outside the house, arranged in rows.

Presumably, when the suitcase was unlocking abilities and activating the new ecological environment, it avoided this area to prevent messing up his original items.

In other words, this place, which was originally the center of the space, had now become a corner of the space.

Chapter 139: This Achievement… What? I'm Cthulhu? Who's the Dementor Here?!

But it turned out to be just right, saving Dylan the trouble of moving things around.

He turned around and looked up at the sky above the forest.

The space was always a hazy white. Although there was no sun, there was light.

However, what made Dylan curious was, since the internal ecological self-circulation had already been activated, how could it function without sunlight?

Even if there was sunlight, moonlight must be indispensable, right?

But his space had nothing.

Neither sun nor moon.

—His current space of over thirty thousand cubic meters was not enough to support any celestial bodies.

After observing for a while, Dylan quickly made a discovery.

At this moment, the light in the forest was noticeably dimmer than at noon, feeling as if the colors of a sunset permeated it.

Dylan couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

Could it be that this ecological environment, lacking a sun, began to regulate its own light?

"You really have it tough."

Dylan pulled up the suitcase's panel again and continuously scrolled through the abilities yet to be unlocked.

Finally, his gaze settled on one ability.

——————

[Ability to be unlocked]: Fully Automatic Real Sunlight (Sun)

[Price to unlock]: 10,000,000 Galleons

——————

Seeing the amount, Dylan silently withdrew his gaze.

He stood there for a moment, but still couldn't hold back.

"Are you really out of your mind? Where am I supposed to get ten million Galleons for you??"

That was ten million!

A full ten times a million! "Are you seriously expecting me to rob Gringotts, then give me an achievement, and the reward is ten million Galleons?!"

Dylan really wanted to close the panel directly, but after a moment of silence, he still pulled it down further, finding the moonlight option.

——————

[Ability to be unlocked]: Fully Automatic Real Moonlight (Moon)

[Price to unlock]: 2,000,000 Galleons

——————

Dylan's eyes bulged. "Twenty million?!"

He counted, and realized he had misread an extra zero.

"Two million?"

Dylan couldn't help but be startled.

How was the moonlight a full eight million cheaper than the sunlight?

"Is this some kind of celestial body discrimination..."

Dylan pondered for a moment, then finally closed the panel completely.

Regardless, he had no money on him right now.

And this space was too small anyway.

Furthermore, since he had already activated the internal ecological self-circulation, the ecological environment itself had lighting. He didn't necessarily need to unlock a sun or moon right now.

Combining the names of these two abilities, including the descriptions in parentheses, Dylan felt that even if he unlocked these two abilities now, due to the small size of his suitcase space, he would probably only be able to accommodate the light of the sun and moon.

Only when his space was large enough, truly comparable to an entire world, would the sun and moon emerge.

So, these two abilities were not something Dylan needed to consider at the moment.

Dylan waved his hand, summoning Coal and Norberta inside.

Since the pet space and the suitcase space were inherently connected, Dylan directly let them in through the suitcase's spatial portal.

"Swish"

A path opened in the air.

"Moo?"

Then, a small head poked out of the gap.

It was Coal.

Its ears stood up high, detecting the surrounding movements.

Almost at the same moment, behind Coal, a much larger figure slowly poked its head out.

"Gaw?"

Although Norberta's body had not yet fully grown to its adult size, it was already quite substantial compared to Coal.

Its nostrils twitched slightly, exhaling a few wisps of warm breath.

The two little ones' eyes darted left and right, and when they caught sight of Dylan not far away, their eyes lit up.

Coal's tail stood up high, and with a "whoosh," it darted out of the crack. However, when one of its front paws heavily landed on the soft soil, its paw instantly sank in a bit, causing its body to sway violently.

The peculiar sensation startled it, but it still instinctively ran towards Dylan.

Norberta was not to be outdone, directly and forcefully flapping its already quite powerful wings, slowly flying out of the gap.

Each flap of its wings created a strong gust of wind, causing the surrounding branches to rustle.

—This was also one of the reasons Dylan didn't often put them in the suitcase before.

Every time Norberta flapped its wings a couple of times, it would mess up everything he had painstakingly arranged.

Coal ran and tumbled to Dylan's feet, its furry body pressing tightly against his calf. With a grab of its claws, it quickly climbed onto him and jumped onto Dylan's shoulder.

"Are you hungry? I'll feed you in a bit."

Dylan extended his index finger and hooked it under Coal's chin.

"Moo~"

A loud, sticky purr rumbled in Coal's throat, its head rubbing against Dylan's cheek again and again, its tail occasionally brushing against his ear.

At this moment, Norberta slowly descended.

—After being scolded by Dylan several times, it finally understood not to make such a big commotion when landing, as if its wings were about to blow people away.

Norberta stuck out its tongue and "licked" Dylan's cheek.

Dylan immediately followed up with a spell on his cheek to clean off Norberta's saliva.

"Yesterday, your Uncle Hagrid gave me a lot of meat. Although the quality wasn't particularly top-notch, I also bought a lot of new canned food this time. I'll mix it for you to eat in a bit."

Dylan patted Norberta's neck.

"Gaw—!"

Norberta raised its head happily and whooped.

After a year of growth, its body was already the size of an adult horse, and when its wings were spread, they could almost cover a small patch of sky.

The scales all over its body shimmered with a metallic texture in the sunlight. When Dylan touched them, the cold sensation made him rub them a few more times.

Norberta's sharp claws gently pawed the ground, then it also brought its head close to Dylan's hand, gently nuzzling it, letting out a low, soft cooing sound.

"This is the new world I've prepared for you. Do you like it?" Dylan let the two little ones look around.

At the same time.

Coal and Norberta's gazes also swept around.

When their eyes fell upon this forest, they seemed to be spellbound, their movements against Dylan halting involuntarily.

Norberta's somewhat bewildered large eyes showed surprise, its massive head turning left and right, curiously examining its surroundings.

Coal also stopped nuzzling, its pointed ears perked up, its eyes wide and round.

"Go out and play?—But don't eat any small creatures, you two."

Before Dylan could finish his instructions, Coal suddenly transformed into a shadow and shot out.

The little creature moved nimbly among the trees, sometimes jumping onto thick tree trunks, sometimes diving into dense bushes, occasionally letting out excited cries, startling a flock of small birds perched on the branches.

"Moo moo moo!"

Stopping, Coal beckoned to Norberta.

"Gaw?"

Norberta looked back at Dylan, who nodded, a smile curving his lips.

"Go ahead. Although the place isn't big, you can still fly around properly. You've been cramped up for a while."

It hadn't really flown properly even after growing so big.

It could fly around randomly when it was small, but as it grew bigger, Dylan didn't allow it to fly around freely, let alone fly around in the Forbidden Forest.

"Gaw!"

Receiving Dylan's affirmative reply, it also looked up at the sky, letting out an excited roar from its throat, forcefully flapping its wings and flying towards the sky.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

A strong wind blew wildly.

Dylan stood aside, his hair blown into a mess.

His mouth twitched, he raised his wand, and a spell later, the wind finally stopped.

Raising his head, Dylan looked at Norberta flying above.

Although the space of this forest was still a bit cramped for its body, making it impossible to fly freely, it still flew with great enthusiasm.

Norberta circled continuously in the air above the forest, each flap of its wings creating a strong gust of wind, causing the surrounding leaves to rustle.

Occasionally, it would fly closer to Dylan, looking down at its master, as if sharing the joy of being able to fly freely.

Dylan looked at these two little ones, a trace of doting smile appearing on his face.

After all, working hard to earn money wasn't just for the children to live well? Nothing else mattered!

"Ahem!"

—He certainly wasn't subtly implying anything with hidden intentions.

Watching them happily frolic, Dylan was also in a good mood.

Seeing the two little ones completely caught up in their excitement, he didn't make them come back yet, but called out to Coal.

"Don't run too far!"

"And you, be careful not to bump into any branches!"
