Starting at Hogwarts

Chapter 54: The Humble House-Elf



What to do in Hufflepuff?

Looking for a house elf, of course!

The house elves at Hogwarts are all in the kitchen, and the kitchen is right next to Hufflepuff.

While it was not too late and he was not so sleepy yet, William Li wanted to get the house elf's involution value before going to bed.

According to the original plot, and also based on William Li's understanding of the magical world over the years, he knew that house elves are a kind of service-minded people who are proud of their labor, ashamed of being kicked out of the family, getting paid, and roaming freely, etc. biology.

Most elves, such as the house elves in Hogwarts, Kreacher of the Black family who appeared in the original plot, and their ancestors regard serving their masters for life as their greatest honor.

Among them, Kreacher of the Black family even reached an extreme level.

His dream is to be like his ancestors. When he is too old to work, his head will be cut off by the owner and hung on the wall as a decoration alongside the heads of his ancestors.

Of course, there are freaks too!

For example, Dobby of the Malfoy family longs for freedom.

But overall, there are still very few such freaks, and most elves are eager to serve their masters.

In this case, it is quite simple for William Li to figure out their involution value.

As long as they feel that a certain service is not good enough, they will naturally work hard to do a good job.

In this way, he can naturally contribute involution value to William Li!

Thinking!

William Li has arrived in the kitchen!

The Hogwarts kitchen is a large, high-ceilinged room as big as the Hogwarts banquet hall above. There are many gleaming copper pots and basins stacked against the surrounding stone walls. At the other end of the room is a Large brick fireplace.

There are also four large tables in the room, placed in exactly the same position as the tables of the four colleges in the banquet hall above.

These four large tables are also the reason why Hogwarts dishes suddenly appear on the tables.

These tables are magically connected to the four tables in the banquet hall. As long as the dishes are placed on them, they will be teleported to the four tables in the banquet hall.

And this time!

Although it is already past ten o'clock in the evening, hundreds of house elves in the kitchen are still busy, preparing the ingredients for tomorrow's breakfast in advance to avoid being unable to deliver food to the little wizards as soon as possible tomorrow morning.

When William Li arrived, the elves also saw him.

Immediately!

A house elf came out, bowed respectfully, and asked, "Good evening, sir. Cole is serving you loyally. Do you want something to eat?"

Although it is already ten o'clock in the evening and not meal time, little wizards often come at this time.

Forgot to eat dinner, or want to have a late night snack.

so!

They were not surprised to see William Li.

"Yes, I want to eat something!" William Li looked at the house elf in front of him with a slight smile on his face.

Cole nodded and said, "Please wait a moment!"

With that said, it turned around and got ready!

As house elves, they have a sense of service engraved in their minds, making them want to serve their masters all the time.

As a student of Hogwarts, William Li is now considered one of their masters, so as long as it is not an excessive request that they cannot fulfill, they will agree without hesitation.

Soon!

A plate of grilled sausages, a few pieces of bread, and a pumpkin soup were placed in front of William Li.

After William Li picked up the knife and fork and tasted it, he didn't say anything, he just frowned and pretended to chew hard.

But Cole in front of him immediately noticed something was wrong with him, and asked with some panic, "Sir, is there something wrong with these things? Does it taste bad? Or...?"

As house elves, if they don't serve their master well, they will feel like they deserve to die!

"It's indeed a bit unpalatable!" Li William said after a glint flashed in his eyes.

In fact, the taste is not bad.

Although it's not delicious, it's not unpalatable either.

If ordinary people from Yingguo come here, they will even think that they are very good, but for William Li, who has been eating the food cooked by the chef Li Wenhua since he was a child, that's it!

but!

Regardless of whether it tastes good or not, he has to say it doesn't taste good today.

Hear the words!

"We are so damned, so damned, for letting the master eat such unpalatable food!!!" Cole immediately knelt down and slapped himself as if he had committed some unforgivable sin.

"Pop!"

Along with his slap, other house elves around him rushed over, knelt down, slapped themselves, and said repeatedly, "It's our fault, it's our fault!"

Seeing this scene, even William Li, who was mentally prepared, couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

Although he knew that house elves were humble, he did not expect them to be so humble.

He just said it didn't taste good and slapped himself?

But soon, he reacted.

I came here to make them curl up, not to see them slap me.

Immediately!

"Stop everyone!" he shouted.

The house elves subconsciously stopped.

And he looked at them with an expression of hatred for steel, and said, "As house elves, the food you cook is unpalatable. Is all you have to do is slap yourselves in the mouth?"

"Then what are we going to do?"

Seeing him like this, all the house elves looked at each other, and then Cole stepped forward and asked anxiously.

"Of course you try hard to make it taste delicious to me!" Li William said in a deep voice.

"But we can make these things!" Cole said hesitantly.

Although he felt that it was their fault that the food was not delicious, he also knew that they could only do this.

William Li frowned deeply as he looked at them.

After thinking for a moment, he pretended to sigh, "Oh, there's really nothing I can do against you! If that's the case, then I'll teach you personally today!"

"How is this possible? How can I let you, sir, cook with your own hands?" When Cole heard this, he suddenly became anxious.

As house elves, letting their master cook is a shame in their hearts and is proof of their own incompetence.

"Stop talking, study hard and watch well. Only if you learn well can you make something delicious to me in the future!" Li William waved his hand and walked towards the stove.

at the same time!

He opened the system panel and found the cooking column.

[Cooking Skills (LV0-921/1000): Spicy Chicken (LV1-13/20) Mapo Tofu (LV1-5/20).]

Without hesitation, he added the involution value to the great skill of cooking.

-

79-

2000-

4000

Suddenly, the cooking skills on the system panel changed!

[Cooking Skills (LV3-0/10000)]

A huge amount of information also poured into William Li's mind.

Knife skills, seasoning, heat, stir-frying, and ingredient selection all at once, Li William has already reached a level of perfection based on all aspects of his cooking skills.

At the same time, small skills after cooking, such as spicy chicken, mapo tofu, etc., have also reached LV3 level because their cooking skills have reached LV3.

but.

"It's not enough!"

After William Li murmured something in a low voice, he decisively clicked on the cooking skill again.

The next second!

[Tip: Please choose one of the following three directions as the breakthrough direction! 】

【Cooking → Cooking. Luminous Cuisine】

[Introduction: The food you make will glow, and the taste will increase by 50%! 】

[Cooking → Cooking. Explosive cooking]

[Introduction: The food made will make people’s clothes burst, and the taste will increase by 50%! 】

[Cooking → Cooking. Nightmare Cuisine]

[Introduction: The things you make will be addictive, and the degree of addiction will increase by 50%! 】

Still three choices.

The first two William Li probably knew what was going on after just one glance.

Just the third one.

"Addicted? Doesn't that turn things into something that makes Baibula very high when he smokes it?" Li William murmured, and some pictures couldn't help but appear in his mind.

A group of people who ate the food he cooked chased him with crazy faces and shouted, "Give it to me, give it to me, give it to me quickly!!!"

Subconsciously, he trembled all over, shook his head quickly, and said, "No, no, this is absolutely not okay, this picture is too disgusting!"

Talking!

He ruled out the third outright.

As for luminous cuisine and explosive cuisine.

Both are pretty much the same.

After thinking for a while, he directly chose the first one, Luminous Cuisine.

There is no other reason.

If a group of people ate his food and ended up bursting into tears, it would be a sight to behold.

After making the selection, the skills immediately changed!

[Culinary Skills. Luminous Cuisine (LV4-0/20000)]

A huge flow of information entered his mind again, giving him a deeper understanding of cooking.

only

"Why are the small skills still stuck at LV3?"

William Li suddenly saw that the small skills on the panel had not been improved, and he subconsciously had such doubts.

It stands to reason that the improvement of big skills can lead to the improvement of small skills! ?

But when he thought about it carefully, he probably understood something!

Yes, when improving big skills, small skills will also be promoted.

But there is a limit to this, right?

When a person plays LoL alone and has a deep understanding of the situation, control of the situation, and the mechanics of the game itself, no matter what hero he is, even if he has never played before, he can become very good at it.

But no matter how powerful he is, he can't possibly turn lol's monkey into the Monkey King of pesticides, right?

A truth!

Big skills can affect small skills, but the limit should be LV3, because LV3 is the limit of the skill itself.

If you want to break through after LV3, you need to add points yourself.

Thinking of this, William Li no longer cared about this and did not improve his cooking skills!

LV4’s cooking skills are enough.

At this time!

William Li, who had already arrived in front of the stove, closed the system panel and said calmly to the group of house elves following behind him, "I will only demonstrate once, so watch it!"
