Hogwarts: Becoming a god from reselling fresh food

Snape had been in a bad mood recently.

Since the gambling incident, he has mostly avoided Murphy.

He was even reluctant to appear in a crowded place like the auditorium. When people looked at him, he seemed to feel like he was being pointed at, as if they were laughing at him behind his back.

He knew it was just an illusion.

Now that he was a professor, not some embarrassing student, no one dared to laugh at him.

But even so, when Flitwick comforted him and said, "Don't take it to heart," he almost exploded. He didn't need comfort! No need for sympathy! That young boy just cheated, he didn't lose!

"Forget it, Tom..." Hermione grabbed Tom who was about to block Snape's path, "He is even scarier than before. I simply doubt whether you can come back alive."

"Don't worry," Tom smiled, "he can't kill me again."

After experiencing the darkness of the past few days, he really wasn't afraid of a professor anymore.

Under the doubtful eyes of his friends, Tom stopped Snape in the corridor leading to the underground classroom.

"Professor, can I take you a moment?"

Snape, who walked like the wind and looked like a big bat flying close to the ground, paused, "Go away, Lucas. Otherwise, fifty points will be deducted from Gryffindor!"

"I'm Slytherin, Professor." Tom smiled.

"Oh, really? That's surprising."

"I have a question to ask you."

"Can't the omniscient Murphy Darkhome still answer your questions?"

"Professor Murphy himself admits that he doesn't understand, and you probably do."

"Ha, that's really strange."

"Professor, what I want to know is, can you make an elixir?"

"What?" Snape's eyes suddenly became sharp.

"I still remember you said that you can teach us to resist death... and you should not just mean magic potions such as fresh blood and hemostatic medicine."

"Why do you ask that?"

"I heard that it is one of the greatest potions." Tom said, "And I also want to know if the potion really has omnipotent magic power and can even fight death."

"Since you have heard of the elixir of life, you should know that it requires the Philosopher's Stone." Snape took a step forward, raised his head slightly, and looked down at him, "I ask you again, why do you ask this? Who asked You asked?"

Tom didn't know that Snape was already wondering if he was being tested by Quirrell. He continued: "It is said that the elixir of life can be used to reshape the body. Is there anyone you want to resurrect?"

This sentence is undoubtedly offensive, but Tom doesn't care much. He has now basically confirmed that Snape does have the formula for the elixir, otherwise he could just deny it or walk away.

Tom wanted to test whether Snape really planned to seize the Philosopher's Stone as Harry thought.

If so, then he might be alarmed by having his secret revealed.

But what Tom didn't expect was that Snape became furious, "Murphy asked you to come, didn't he? Didn't he!"

This reaction was somewhat unexpected to Tom.

In Tom's guess, if Snape was innocent, he might only be angered by his own offense, but he would never be so furious as if he had suffered great humiliation.

Snape left, without even threatening to deduct points. His rage seemed to suddenly dissipate, turning into a terrifying silence that Tom couldn't understand. Finally, he turned around and left without saying a word. .

"Tom... are you okay?" Harry and the others waited until Snape was far away before they dared to come forward. They patted Tom, "Hey, are you okay?"

"Professor Snape... doesn't seem to be the person we are looking for," Tom said.

"What? What did you say to him just now? I think he almost lost control and pulled out his wand to fight you."

Tom was also a little puzzled, "He seems to be too sensitive to that sentence..."

But now it's at least established that Snape has the formula for the elixir.

All that remains is how to get the formula from Snape.

…

The study tasks in the second half of the semester were much heavier than those in the first half, and Harry also had Quidditch games to prepare for, so he was exhausted every day.

Tom is also very busy. He spends almost all his extra time in the library recently, working harder than Hermione.

He is learning various spells intensively. What he said in the notes last time stimulated him. Of course, he cannot defeat the opponent with the spells he got from the notes, so he is learning with his own mind alone.

To get rid of the control of the notes, he must have some ability to protect himself - maybe the hope is slim, but he doesn't want to sit still and wait for death.

Tom has never opened that notebook again, so Murphy can no longer directly guide his actions through the notes, but the relationship between Tom and him has improved a lot recently.

This is because Tom often comes to him for some spell teaching guidance, and Murphy also happens to have a project that requires Tom's assistance.

The research he is currently doing is: "Magic Vision Virus".

This is inspired by the training of "Anti-Cancer Virus".

His cancer research institute now has thousands of employees, half of whom are responsible for obtaining all kinds of strange cancerous tissue samples from all over the world, while the other half are responsible for labeling the samples and re-examining the labels. .

Since the number of people is larger than previously thought, the amount of training for anti-cancer bacteria is much larger than previously expected. However, his luck is not very good. There are currently 80 of the more than 100 trained bacteria. Many have been eliminated by strict judgment conditions - all individuals of their bacterial groups were killed by the spiritual seed because they killed normal cells three times or failed to kill cancer cells three times.

In order to allow the remaining twenty bacterial colonies to survive, he had to slow down the training speed to give them enough time to reproduce and mutate.

During the training, he suddenly realized that since the bacterial flora can be trained to be cancer cell killers, they can also be trained to become microorganisms that have an affinity for certain magical properties.

For example, repeatedly stimulating the bacterial colony with the magic power of the "control" attribute, leaving those that respond, and those that do not respond to death. After hundreds of generations of mutation optimization iterations, bacteria or viruses that can produce specific responses, etc. are selected - As long as the sample size is large enough, he can always find such bacteria that meet the requirements.

In this way, a bacterium or virus that can produce a specific response to the "manipulating" attribute magic is produced.

In such viruses or bacteria, there must be a substance that can produce a specific response to the "manipulation" attribute magic power - for example, let them release certain ions.

And they must have one or several genes that can express and synthesize this substance.

Next, as long as these genes are cut out and transferred to rods or cones, using their original light conversion mechanism, magic stimulation can be used instead of light stimulation, thereby producing magic vision.

Although the process is very complicated, there is no absolute technical bottleneck. Moreover, once this technology is successful, not only wizards, but even Muggles and even animals can see magic.

In this project, Tom is mainly responsible for outputting magic training bacteria.

After the day's training was completed, Harry used the goblin gold coins to call Tom to the Gryffindor table, and several young wizards gathered together again.

"After today's game..."

"Competition?" Tom has been spending time with Murphy after class recently, obsessed with studying and research. Neither of them has paid attention to sports.

"Gryffindor and Hufflepuff, we won," Harry said. "Anyway, after the game, I saw Snape and Quirrell. Snape was threatening Quirrell. He seemed to want to know what to do. How to get through Quirrell's trap."

"You still think there's something wrong with him?"

Harry nodded, "And this time, I thought of a way to prove it."

"How?" Hermione also asked.

"Ask Quirrell," Harry said. "As long as Quirrell tells the truth, we have evidence."

"But Quirrell is a professor, he won't pay attention to us." Ron said.

"Unless you ask like a certain professor." Tom said, "Professor Murphy mentioned Polyjuice Potion, which can turn a person into the appearance of another person."

Tom actually didn't quite believe that Snape wanted to steal the Philosopher's Stone, but if it could be proven, it wouldn't be a bad thing for him.

If he had to, he might help Snape succeed and share the results. Anyway, he only needed the elixir refined from the Sorcerer's Stone, not the Sorcerer's Stone.

"However, it is said that the potion will last for more than two months."

"It won't take that long." Hermione thought of something, "Qiu Zhang and the others are studying transformation, remember? Professor Murphy asked them to make a lot of polyjuice potion. Maybe I can borrow a bottle."
