Chapter 117 - Chapter 115: From today on, you're Tom!

After finishing his experiment, Levid immediately cleaned up the lab.

These drugged dung bombs were incredibly powerful.

If they accidentally exploded, he might have to sleep in the wizard tower for a century...

After carefully packing up the drugged dung bombs,

Levid looked at the Kneazle, wanting to return it to the Forbidden Forest.

"Well... thank you for your contribution to my experiment.

In that case, I'll give you a sweet dream as a reward,"

Levid said, gently tapping the Kneazle's head with his wand.

The next moment, the Kneazle's brow relaxed, and even a hint of a human smile played at the corners of his mouth.

This was Levid's habit.

Whether he was profiting from magical beasts or conducting experiments on them,he would reward them with a sweet dream afterward.

This allowed him to practice nightmare magic while also soothing his dwindling conscience.

This, in turn, could eliminate some of the negative effects of dark magic.

Thinking about it this way, it seemed like a good deal.

Levid left the Kneazle to sleep and returned his attention to studying the "residue."

"This is truly a kind of magic that makes one love and hate it..." Levid sighed.

After his fight with Annie, Levid had already obtained rough data on the increase.

Levid compared this data with Annie's previous data.

Annie's magic power had increased by approximately ten percent.

This ten percent increase in magic power was a boost to the wizard's base stats!

The subsequent increases in emotions, concentration, and other factors all built on this foundation!

Levid had already collected sufficient data after beating Tom and so many other pure-blooded young wizards.

Although Tom was currently stronger than other young wizards of the same age,

if we simply measured magic power, with Tom's current talent, his base magic power was only about ten percent higher than that of an average pure-blooded young wizard!

In other words, Annie's base magic power, after this wave of enhancement, was even stronger than Tom's current level.

Ten percent strength, combined with the enhanced emotions, concentration, and proficiency, can be multiplied several times over.

After being cornered, Tom was suddenly able to cast the full Shield Charm with ease, a testament to the power of emotion and concentration to boost magical power.

Therefore, after Anne's ten percent increase in magical power, she could even unleash advanced spells like Thunderbolt.

Of course, a ten percent increase from absorbing just a small amount of residue doesn't guarantee a similarly large increase from absorbing the same amount of residue. It's likely that as wizards become more powerful, more residue is needed to strengthen their base magical power.

Furthermore, Anne's current enhancement only strengthens her foundation, improving her innate abilities and pushing her starting point forward significantly.

However, in terms of developmental talent, she still lags far behind Tom.

Suddenly, Levid remembered something else.

Tom had been completely transformed after becoming Voldemort.

This was the aftereffect of numerous failed attempts at transformation through dark magic.

Undoubtedly, while these Dark Magic transmutations failed, they still significantly increased his base stats.

Otherwise, his magical power wouldn't have suddenly surged so strongly.

According to the normal growth cycle, Tom would have needed at least several more decades to reach Dumbledore's level of magical power.

Yet, in his fifties and sixties, Tom was already a match for Dumbledore.

Had Voldemort not been so cautious and hesitant to fight tooth and nail, the outcome of the battle at the Ministry of Magic would have been hard to predict.

"Unfortunately, this 'residue' is caused by negative emotions.

It's harmful to the human body..." Levid said again with regret.

Suddenly, Levid frowned, realizing a blind spot.

Initially, Professor Morgana discovered this "residue" out of a desire to help her father overcome his grief.

Later, she became addicted to the power it lent her, leading her to recklessly collect negative emotions at Hogwarts...

In other words... what if I hadn't initially extracted the residue from negative emotions, but from happy ones?

"Hiss..." Levid grew excited, immediately pulling out a ball of "residue" and beginning to study it.

But after a moment, disappointment washed over Levvid's face.

After Professor Morgana lost control, she wasn't limited to extracting negative emotions; she was draining them of all their emotions!

Whether sadness, happiness, anger...those whose emotions were drained of them were briefly reduced to empty shells, devoid of any emotion.

Many Hogwarts students at the time became like puppets... devoid of any sense of joy, anger, or sadness.

This was why the professors at Hogwarts discovered Morgana's plan so quickly.

"Alas... what a pity!"

Levvid sighed regretfully.

Meanwhile, the catkin over there turned over in its sleep, the smile still on its face.

The sweet dreams Levvid had bestowed upon it had filled its heart with joy...

"Wait..." Levvid's eyes suddenly widened again; he had discovered his blind spot once again.

A normal person, especially one who spent their days bored and studying at school, would inevitably be dominated by negative emotions!

This meant that the "residues" Professor Morgana had extracted from the students were primarily negative emotions!

This also aligned with Levvid's previous test results!

So... if I simply extract happiness and create a "residue," what will the effect be?

Without the influence of negative emotions, will this "residue" still have the negative effect of distorting people's personalities?

Furthermore, if it's just pure happiness, will this "residue" still have such a powerful amplifying effect?

​​This new conjecture made Li Weide excited again.

Livid picked up his wand, intending to draw out some joy from himself.

But... if he couldn't feel joy, it would certainly affect his research...

Thinking of this, Livid's evil gaze fell on the happy little kitten in the distance.

"Sorry, little kitten... I promise to give you two more sweet dreams, ok?"

The sleeping Kneazle's peaceful face was gradually obscured by a dark shadow...

I see..." Livid, somewhat frustrated, extracted the "residue" from his body.

However, this time, the "residue" was completely pure white, completely different from the previous ones that had black with red or red with silver.

Overall, the feeling was completely different from the previous ones.

Livid had accidentally absorbed a small amount of that "residue" before,which had prematurely awakened the ancient magical power within him.

While absorbing that "residue" brought a strange sense of pleasure from the sudden increase in strength,this pleasure was tinged with a strange sense of guilt.

This feeling of guilt is like the feeling of secretly doing something that makes people happy, and then being afraid of being discovered...and now this new "residue" can also bring people a sense of pleasure.   

However, this pleasure was a very pure kind, without any guilt.

It was like simply playing a game of football, the joy gained legitimately...

Unfortunately, after testing, Li Wei De discovered that this white "residue" only increased a person's base magical power by a relatively limited amount.

It wasn't as strong as the previous "residue."

The reason for this was that the previous "residue" contained all kinds of emotions.

In other words, using this "residue" to enhance oneself could adapt to spells requiring a wide range of emotions!

Because these "residues" contained all the emotions required for various spells!

But this white "residue" now seemed only to enhance things like the Patronus Charm.

Because a single emotion wasn't as strong as a combination of emotions, this incomplete "residue" didn't enhance a wizard's magical power as much as a combination of emotions...

"Combined emotions..." Li Wei De didn't remain frustrated for long before resuming his experiment.

This time, he used ancient magic to analyze the "residue" of these combined emotions.

He then patiently separated the emotions within, roughly categorizing them into three main categories: joy, anger, and sorrow, each placed in three glass bottles.

This task took him a long time...

Then, he patiently divided the three main categories into almost identical amounts, then extracted them again using ancient magic, forming a new "residue"!

Within this residue, the three equally important emotions were forcibly bound by ancient magic, creating a balance...

As soon as Li Wei De extracted this residue, he felt its power.

Li Wei De assumed that if these emotions were equal in amount and maintained a balance, they would cancel each other out and have no effect on the host's own emotions.

However, after absorbing this "residue," Li Wei De found that he received no amplification at all!

Li Wei De reluctantly extracted the "residue" again.

It's true that balance is the key to success, and balance is also the key to failure.

Even though the amplifying power contained in this "residue" was far greater than the previous ones, its overly balanced nature meant that not only did the negative effects cancel each other out, but even the positive ones weren't spared...

This was a bit awkward...

Li Wei De adjusted the "residue" again.

Fortunately, he remembered the ratio of each emotion in the "residue" extracted by Professor Morgana.

Therefore, he deliberately switched the proportions of joy and anger.

The previous "residue" had such severe side effects because anger dominated, as anger, a broad category of emotions, contains essential dark magic emotions like hatred...

Now, while sadness remained, anger and joy were completely swapped...

This time, the "residue" transformed into a silver-red, then red-black mist...

Li Wei De absorbed this "residue" again.

"It worked!"

Li Wei De was pleasantly surprised to find that the side effects of this "residue" were far less than before!

Moreover, the amplification had barely decreased!

Of course, there are still side effects, similar to... the feeling of taking too much euphoria, a bit too much excitement...

While these side effects are still not good,... this is still a huge improvement.

If I can't find a better solution, I'll just have to transform the "residues" in the senior's body into a completely balanced form and then absorb them.

This will completely eliminate the side effects.

Of course, this way, there will be no increase in power.

However, these huge amounts of "residues" won't disappear.

I'll slowly explore how to use them with the senior who has recovered from the crisis...

Li Weide cleaned up the laboratory again and put the happy emotions he had extracted from the catkins back into its body.

Just as Li Weide put the happy emotions back, the catkins opened its eyes.

Li Weide was slightly startled.

It turned out that his experiment took too long, and the catkins woke up directly...

"Okay, thank you very much for your help. I'll take you home now."

The catkins didn't say a word, but just looked at Li Weide quietly.

Seeing that the Kneazle didn't attack, Levid tentatively reached out his hand.

Strangely, the Kneazle didn't resist at all, and instead rubbed its head against Levid's hand.

"Huh?

What happened?"

Levid was a little surprised.

He didn't know what had happened, but since the Kneazle didn't object, Levid picked it up and Apparated to the spot in the Forbidden Forest where he had caught it.

  "Let's go,"

Levid put the Kneazle down and prepared to leave.

However, he soon felt his robe being tugged at.

Levid turned and saw that it was the Kneazle that had bitten the corner of his robe.

Seeing the affection in the Kneazle's eyes, Levid suddenly understood.

According to the book "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them," once a Kneazle falls in love with a wizard, it becomes the perfect pet...and this Kneazle clearly loves Levid!

Levid frowned, thinking for a moment, and suddenly a certain understanding dawned on him.

It seemed that just when he had put his happy mood back, it happened to wake up, and then...in its eyes, Levid became the person who could bring it happiness.

No animal doesn't like people who bring them happiness.

Of course, the cat-kneazle is no exception.

  So...

"Hiss... Are you going with me?"

Levid asked.

"Meow~"

"Um... But wizards need to get a license to keep cat-kneazle... I don't have one yet..."

  "Meow~"

"Okay, okay! You can come with me, but you can't hurt anyone without my permission!"

Thinking of the cat-kneazle's peculiarity, Levid finally decided to take this guy back.

"Meow!"

The Kneazle nodded in a humane manner.

"Hiss... You are indeed a magical creature! You can even understand human language!" Levid said in surprise.

"Well... But I can't take you back like this... At least before I get a license, you can't be a Kneazle."

Levid picked up the wand, "If you want to follow me, I have to change your appearance."

Suddenly, Levid smiled evilly.

A moment later, the Kneazle's appearance changed completely, turning into a British shorthair with beautiful blue hair and "white socks"... a blue and white British shorthair.

The Kneazle licked its tail somewhat uncomfortably, and then looked at Levid pitifully.

"Okay, from today on, your name will be Tom!" Levid said happily.

Tom, who was far away in Hogwarts Castle, suddenly sneezed loudly.

"Huh?

What happened?

Why do I always feel like someone is calling my name?"
