Chapter 535: Chapter 204: The First Intimate Contact_1

"Big Footboard? Sharp Fork? Insect Tail? Moon Face?"

Zheng Qing repeated these familiar names, his tone rising with each one.

After he had repeated all four names, he said with extreme scepticism: "If I remember correctly..."

"You’re right." Seemingly knowing what he wanted to question, Doctor Xiao nodded his head decisively: "Exactly as you’re thinking... Maybe it’s because they’re fans of Harry Potter, or maybe it’s just because their names echo those four characters, anyway, the Hunters of the Queen of Hearts chose these as their code names in the hunting ground..."

"I always thought Harry Potter was a fantasy novel from our side..." Zheng Qing mumbled, suddenly experiencing a strong sense of déjà vu—as if he had said this not long ago.

Soon, he remembered that Su Shijun had mentioned this series of books to him not long ago in the Dimensional Evolution Laboratory.

But at that time, his full attention was on the beauty, and more beauty, and inevitably, it had not passed through his mind.

Now, listening carefully, he couldn’t help but feel the strong sense of discordance.

"... A series of books written by a registered witch from Great Britain named J ten years ago had high literary and readability, making it very suitable for promoting wizard culture... It happened that the Wizard League-Normies cross-century cultural exchange project started, so after the Wizards Alliance and the international government of the Normies world communicated, this series also debuted in the Normies world at the same time."

At that point, Xiao Xiao seemed to remember something, flipping through his notebook, and quickly confirmed:

"Of course, what you said isn’t wrong... Because this series is filled with so much common sense of the wizard world, it had five proofs from the Press and Publication Administration of the Wizarding Council - mainly to eliminate some special terms with memetic effects, as well as to handle some of the activities in the wizarding world. For example, distort the syllables of the death curse, transform the demon hunting sport unique to Britannia into a sport of riding on a broom—because according to the Normies-Wizard communication officer, ball games are more popular among humans there, so after the modification, it’s easier for the public to understand."

"After all, no matter from which perspective, demon hunting is a somewhat bloody activity, not suitable for promotion as a national sport in a civilized world."

"Of course, the effect of these changes has made the book more bizarrely fantastical... So it’s not surprising that Harry Potter was ultimately classified as a children’s fantasy novel by the Normies."

"What are you guys talking about? The Harry Potter series? Isn’t that a documentary literature?" Lin Guo seemed to have just been daydreaming, not hearing the conversation amongst the others.

He couldn’t help but interject with a surprised voice: "I remember that series won the best documentary literature of the century selected by the Three Flavor Bookstore... There’s very real place names, magic, and case studies in it, right? Where is it a fantasy?"

Zheng Qing gave the young wizard a blank look and gave up discussing this topic further.

However, the words of Doctor Xiao and Lin Guo just confirmed another impression of his—it’s no wonder that when he previously mentioned Harry Potter to Thomas, he acted oblivious. Perhaps for a wizard who focuses on magic like him, no best-selling literature can compete with a beautifully structured spell.

Especially since the book distorted the great sport of demon hunting.

The young fee-paying student still clearly remembered how expressive Thomas was when discussing demon hunting.

Just as he was lost in thought, Zhang Ji Xin suddenly stood up, clapped his hands, and attracted the attention of the Absolution Hunting Team.

"Quickly turn on the Speaker Flowers..." Waving his arm, he shouted anxiously: "You guys are about to miss a fantastic shot! Queen of Hearts is less than one thousand meters away from the first group of monsters!"

Zheng Qing immediately reached out, fiddled with the Speaker Flower hanging on the back of his chair.

Soon, Tang Dun’s slightly hoarse voice came out from those vibrating stamens and petals:

"... In an estimated thirteen seconds, Queen will encounter the herd’s Ram Monster... We can see that the Ram Monster at the front has noticed the murderous aura in the air and is gathering the herd on top of the hill to form an assault formation..."

"... According to data provided by the Hunting Committee, the southwestern valley area (code number 102) has a Ram Monster population of 32, including one Monster King (Ram Monster), eleven female Ram Monsters, and twenty young Ram Monsters, with a comprehensive strength value between 7.012 and 7.025, making it one of the more powerful groups of wild monsters in the hunting ground."

"The Ram Monster herd is adept at collective charging, fast, and their massive horns are strengthened by magic, having the effects of breaking, solidifying, and rebounding, all of which give them a good resistance to magic spells and talismans."

"But this is precisely what the Queen of Hearts is best at... The Ram Monsters are quick on their feet, and Queen is even quicker; They possess resistance to magic spells and talismans, yet Queen prefers to use her long sword..."

As the atmosphere of the hunting ground escalated, the mood on the surrounding stands also soared.

Jiuyou Academy’s flag array, Atlas’s choir, Starry Sky Academy’s war drums, and Alpha Academy’s spectacular cheerleading squad; every color was expressive of their internal impulses, as if they could feel the sensations of the hunters fighting in the hunting ground.

In comparison, the viewing stage remained calm and orderly.

Although the three front seats of the stage were still empty and many of the front row seats were unoccupied. But the many old wizards sitting in other spots, all watched the match quietly, took notes, occasionally whispering to each other, seemingly exchanging their views on the players’ performance in the hunting ground.

Zheng Qing’s gaze merely swept over these scenes, and then immediately retrieved it.

He clutched the brass telescope in his hand, turning the focal length to its maximum, trying to capture every moment in the hunting ground.

"First contact!"

"First contact!"

"Queen of Hearts is the first to challenge a mid-high rank wild monster group with a strength of 7!"

"... As expected, as soon as they detected the wizard, the Ram Monster herd engaged in charging mode... With the Monster King leading the front, the female Ram Monsters shadowing the sides, and the young ones in the middle, the Ram Monster herd launched the first attack at Queen..."

"This is a vast valley... It is not lush but more like a pebble beach similar to a Gobi desert... The protruding mounds around prevent erosion by the river, making the beach dry and sturdy, very suitable for the Ram Monster herd’s charge tactics!"

"Especially as the Ram Monster herd regroups on a small hill, then using the inertia of the slope, they charge downhill, looking increasingly unstoppable and irresistible!"

"Oh! No... What did I just see?!"
