Chapter 78 Level 1 Related Items
Qin Yu had been to Gringotts more than once, but the goblin clerks still wore the same sour faces as always.
Of course, this could also be because that's just how their faces are.
Hagrid held the key that Harry's parents had left him. After handing the key to the goblin clerk, he took out a letter in Dumbledore's handwriting. The clerk read the letter, looked up, and said:
“Sir, I must remind you that Gringotts has the most secure vault in the world, and I believe you are already aware of our security measures.”
“Oh, of course I know that.” Hagrid nodded.
"So, are you sure you want to take that thing?" the fairy clerk asked solemnly.
“Yes, we have our own considerations,” Hagrid said firmly.
"Alright then... Pull Ring, you take the three gentlemen to the vault." The clerk called over a fairy to lead the way.
Then, the goblin named Gripping led Hagrid, Qin Yu, and Harry to the underground vault.
……
When the pull ring opened Harry's vault, Harry was stunned. The piles of Galleons, Sickles, and Knuckles spoke of his family's wealth, making him even more curious about his origins.
However, Hagrid didn't seem to know much either, only saying that the Potter family was quite wealthy and mentioning the Black family, but Harry had never heard of the surname Black before.
"Alright, take some money, and keep the rest here. You won't need too much." Qin Yu was, of course, a little envious of this rich kid.
However, since their parents have passed away, it would be a bit excessive to say anything about envy.
Qin Yu grabbed two handfuls of Galleons, one handful of Silver Sickles, and one handful of Bronze Knuts, and stuffed them into Harry's money bag. He didn't count them exactly, since Gringotts would keep track of the amounts—in terms of the amount of money involved, this goblin bank was still trustworthy.
With money in his pocket, Harry felt much more confident. As he boarded the Gringotts tram, he nervously said to Qin Yu and Hagrid, "Qin, Hagrid, I... I'll treat you to something to eat later..."
"No, no, no, Harry, let's not talk about food yet, I'm afraid I'll throw up..." Hagrid was not used to the Gringotts Vault Railcar, which sped along and twisted and turned.
Qin Yu was much better. He loudly introduced several shops to Harry and said, "I and my...sister have eaten at these shops. The taste is quite unique. However, the dishes made with precious ingredients are very expensive. For example, dishes with dragon liver start at one or two Galleons. After all, an ounce of dragon liver costs more than ten Sickles, so it is even more expensive to make dishes with it."
Harry didn't really know much about prices in the wizarding world, but he had a vague feeling that dragon liver was probably very, very expensive.
"Huh? Qin, you have a sister?" Harry suddenly noticed this and asked eagerly.
Qin was the first wizard of his age he met, and someone he thought was very, very good. He hoped to meet Qin's family as well.
Of course, if Harry knew anything about Eastern culture, he would probably know that his mentality is called "liking someone so much that even the crows on their roof like them."
"Oh, Qin, you mean Hermione, right?" Hagrid knew Qin Yu quite well.
"Hermione? Does she also have the surname Qin?" Harry asked curiously.
“No, her surname is Granger…” Qin Yu said helplessly.
"Why? Don't you have the same last name?" Harry asked, puzzled.
"Because... I'm like you, also living in someone else's house," Qin Yu said, shrugging.
"..."
Harry was stunned by Qin Yu's answer; he hadn't expected that he and Qin Yu would have this in common.
However, judging from Qin Yu's tone, he clearly had a good relationship with that "sister" named Hermione.
This made Harry feel a little envious, after all, his relationship with his cousin Dudley could only be described as "enemies".
As they talked, they soon arrived at the location of the item Hagrid wanted to retrieve: Vault 713.
……
This vault was protected by a special magic spell, making it impossible for ordinary people to open. The fairy who led the way, named Pull Ring, also explained to them how impenetrable this vault was.
Qin Yu found this amusing. He really wanted to record the pull ring's words so he could slap them in the face, but unfortunately, he didn't have a magic camera with him.
When the vault was opened, there were no glittering, white, or yellow coins; instead, there was only a small brown paper package containing something unknown.
Of course, Qin Yu knew that this contained the legendary Philosopher's Stone—the ultimate product of alchemy, capable of turning stone into gold and granting immortality!
"What is this?" Harry finally asked after holding back for a long time.
He knew, of course, that he shouldn't have asked that question, and that Hagrid might not have answered it anyway, but he couldn't help being curious.
Sure enough, Hagrid said mysteriously, "Sorry, Harry, I can't tell you what it is. Well, it's getting late, we should go."
However, Qin Yu showed no intention of moving. Instead, he looked at Harry and said, word by word, "Harry, this is the Philosopher's Stone!"
He didn't know why he suddenly said that; it was probably an impulse, a way to see what would happen if he said it.
Then he saw Hagrid's furrowed brow and Harry's bewildered expression—Harry clearly didn't know what the Philosopher's Stone was.
While their expressions were still etched on Qin Yu's retina, he felt a sudden dizziness.
Then, he found himself once again on the fast-moving vault railcar.
"Why? Don't you share the same surname?"
Harry's questioning voice rang out.
That expression was exactly the same as before.
"Because, like you, I'm also living with someone else," Qin Yu replied instinctively.
Then he shook his head, trying to shake off the strange feeling in his heart.
Harry, as before, fell into surprise and silence.
Next, the railcar stopped in front of Vault 713, and the fairy ring boasted about their impenetrable defenses.
When Hagrid took the paper package, Harry asked the same question with curiosity: "What's this?"
Before Hagrid could speak, Qin Yu interjected, "Harry, this is the Philosopher's Stone!"
Hagrid's furrowed brow and Harry's bewildered expression were once again reflected in Qin Yu's dark eyes.
After a dizzying experience, he returned to the railcar.
"Why? Don't you share the same surname?"
"Because, like you, I am also living in someone else's home."
"..."
"We're going to get the magic stone later!"
The world spins, and we return once more.
"Why……"
"Because she's my wife!"
"what?"
Hagrid wants the Philosopher's Stone!
return.
"Why……"
"We're going to get the magic stone!"
Continue back.
And so, Qin Yu experimented with the timing of saying the words "Philosopher's Stone" over and over again, and each time, he would inevitably return to the train car and face Harry's question once more.
Of course, there were a few times when he was really too lazy to answer and just said some random things. Anyway, whenever he said the name "Philosopher's Stone" again, time would rewind.
That's right, Qin Yu encountered time travel.
The root cause was that he revealed a secret he shouldn't have.
"Ding! Host, you have tried 38 times. There is no point in trying any further. We would like to remind you again: the magic stone is a level one related item. You cannot disclose relevant information to others until the necessary stage is reached in the current selection event."
When Qin Yu was forced to rewind time, the system voice would pop up from time to time to remind him.
"I understand. After going back so many times, my mind is a mess now."
Qin Yu felt as if he had been replaying a movie scene over and over again, or as if he had many dreams with similar plots. If this happened a few more times, he felt that he might go insane.
"By the way, did I say anything strange just now?" Qin Yu asked in his mind.
"Strange? Does a child groom count?" the system replied.
"...How could I have uttered such a nonsensical and absurd word?!" Qin Yu was utterly astonished.
"It's possible that you were a little excited just now, and your language center temporarily lost control," the system explained.
"Yes, I did lose control of what I was saying just now." Qin Yu accepted this explanation.
So let's do it one last time and erase those nonsensical parts.
Qin Yu's interactions with the system seemed extensive, but in reality, they only lasted for a brief moment.
When he decided to perform the 39th time travel, he took the Philosopher's Stone before Hagrid could and said to Harry, "Don't ask, this is the Philosopher's Stone."
After the final dizzying sensation, Qin Yu was cautious in his words and actions, refraining from saying anything out of line, and when Hagrid took the Philosopher's Stone, he did not explain to Harry what it was.
"Alright, we should go now. We still have a lot to buy," Hagrid urged.
