Chapter 62 Shocking: The Internet Addiction Crisis is Imminent
The young wizards, now energized, were incredibly excited and couldn't wait to get started.
After Ryan meticulously explained the design concept and the spells used, everyone fell into deep thought.
"There are two things we need to address: one is what additional functions should be installed on the communication devices, and the other is..."
"How can we reduce the cost of the equipment?" Ryan asked.
"There's a problem, Ryan," Penelope said. "Mobile phones need batteries and charging devices. What will power this communication device we've designed? Will it constantly rely on wizarding magic?"
"Although I don't know much about electrical appliances, I do know that they need a stable current when charging. Even if magical creations don't require such precision or a stable current, they will still be severely damaged in the hands of most wizards who cannot precisely control their magic!"
"Don't worry, Penelope, I've already made the magic transformer." Ryan pulled out a handful of beads.
"What is this?"
"A failed product of alchemy experiments, it can store a certain amount of magic power. After solidifying the magic power to the upper limit, the magic power injected into it can be stably delivered to the communication device."
Ryan explained, tossing the beads to everyone: "You can all take a look."
Vio caught the bead thrown at him, infused it with magic to examine it, and then grabbed a moving model. "It's still this little astronaut," he chuckled, comparing the feeling he got from the bead to the astronaut model.
After a long pause, he said, "On the first day we gathered here, we discussed how these little models possess a source of magic and how they can absorb freely flowing magic."
"It seems your alchemical skills, Ryan, have exceeded my expectations. This thing could be considered a portable, miniature source of magic?"
He raised an eyebrow: "You just said this is a failed product? Are you trying to create a magical source that can properly provide the magic power needed by wizards?"
"Good eye, Vio. However, the external magic device is still being crafted and is very expensive. I'm still researching and improving it," Ryan explained, slightly showing off his black and gold armband that looked somewhat fluorescent and had a "Refinement +15" rating.
Vio nodded knowingly: "Why don't we just call this thing the Magic Bead? It would match the batteries that Muggles use."
Penelope chimed in, "They can also be divided into different levels. I know there are different types of batteries. If Ryan successfully develops a complete external magic device in the future, it can also be made into this shape, which would be a large magic bead."
"Great idea, let's call it Magic Bead." Ryan silently swallowed back the name he had given for the Magic Battery.
Actually, it's better not to use the name "Magic Battery," so that after the two sides establish contact in the future, ordinary people won't think that the wizards are plagiarizing their ideas.
Gradually, many people came to understand Ryan's design concept and began to offer their own opinions.
"I think we should add gaming functionality to communication devices!" suggested a wizard from an ordinary background. He explained computer games for ordinary people to everyone, which drew praise from many wizards.
Because the entertainment activities in the wizarding world are too monotonous, there is only one major sporting event, Quidditch, and the other entertainment is also pitifully few, such as wizard chess or Goblin.
Therefore, his proposal was accepted by many people.
Even Malfoy, who came from a privileged background, agreed that he also wanted to obtain such a communication device for playing games: "Senior Ryan, I think if you want to attract more people to use it and promote it to the entire wizarding world, you need some unique features. Starting with junior wizards might be a good decision."
Ryan looked at the hopeful eyes of almost everyone, and then everything went black.
Spicy!
My Adventurers Club is going to become an e-sports club!
Can't these internet addicts focus on something important? We're here to change the magic world!
Hmm...: To be honest, with the addition of a game system, it wouldn't be a bad idea to take some time to rank up.
Furthermore, activating the device requires the wizard to input magic power. With the meager amount of magic power a young wizard has, they can't play the game for very long; one or two hours is the limit. It's like having a natural, physiological anti-addiction system!
At this moment, Ryan, who had selectively forgotten about the external magic device, convinced himself and made a promise: "Of course."
I will handle the game content production.
"Yay!"
"Yay!"
The cheers were deafening.
Ryan had assumed that this grand event, with its gathering of wise men and women of all ages, and its magical models, Western fantasy decorations, snacks and drinks, would be a perfect setting for discussing magic, even without the grandeur of an awards ceremony!
Who could have predicted that after just a few discussions, the young wizards in the magical world would soon be addicted to the internet!
And these pillars of the magical world are still saying "Yay!"
This is outrageous! Heartbroken and furious, Ryan decided to beat up these people in front of him after the game went live, and use the game to torture them like dogs to cure their internet addiction!
Ideally, Dumbledore would also get hooked, so he could crush the headmaster in the game... :: Just thinking about it made Ryan's lips curl into a smile.
"Alright, alright, let's get back to the point." Enjoying the praise, Ryan stopped talking: "What other features do you all think we need?"
George immediately replied, "We need lots of games!"
Fred immediately chimed in, "The game needs constant improvement!"
"We thought the joke shop was the limit of wizards' entertainment!"
"I never imagined that this was just the bare minimum of Senior Ryan's abilities!"
Looking at the Weasley twins, who were already planning to change their life goals and switch from being popular joke shop owners to being despised game planners, Ryan's eyes were full of pity: Why did they have to become game planners?
Out of consideration for their friendship, he didn't want the Weasleys' house to be filled with player letters that read like "complaint letters" but were actually "overwhelmingly positive reviews and family tree inquiries," so he asked, "So what are you guys trying to do?"
"Senior Ryan, please let us participate in your game creation process!"
"We'll do anything you ask!"
Please accept us!
George and Fred's eyes were full of anticipation and longing.
The strange remarks made the atmosphere tense, but thankfully the two didn't suddenly kneel down in despair. Ryan was kind-hearted and couldn't bear to see the two suffer, nor could he bear to see the young wizards without the highly praised game to play, so he agreed to their request.
"Of course, I happen to have a really chilling card game in the works right now."
The philanthropist from Wales revealed a compassionate expression and explained to the two what a card game was.
Amidst their puzzled glances, he continued, "I've named this game 'Academy Kill'."
