Chapter 4: The Proper Way to Use Tom
However, that would make it difficult to simply follow Voldemort's and Grindelwald's old paths.
Theo had an idea. He opened the system interface in his mind.
The system interface was simple, with only the items and merit point balance.
[Item 1: Essence of Dittany 50ml (Unbound) 5 Merit Points]
[Item 2: A Comprehensive Guide to Low-Level Spells (Unbound) 50 Merit Points]
[Refresh Time Countdown: 8 hours 27 minutes 39 seconds]
[Merit Points: 50]
[Dark Lord Achievement: Unachieved]
Seeing the second item, Theo immediately clicked to view it.
[A Comprehensive Guide to Low-Level Spells is a system-limited version of a low-level spell book, covering almost all low-level spells currently circulating in the world, and detailing all the casting techniques of these spells, as well as their historical evolution...]
Before he even finished reading the system description, Theo unhesitatingly chose to purchase it.
Although this book only contained low-level spells, it was still of great help to Theo, who was a magic novice!
Moreover, with the level of detail in this spell book, it would be absolutely impossible to buy it in a bookstore!
"Ding! Do you want to buy A Comprehensive Guide to Low-Level Spells?"
"Yes!"
"Ding! Please select the language for this book."
You can even choose the language?
Theo's heart stirred upon hearing this. "Is there a simplified version?"
Of course, Theo chose the simplified version not because he couldn't understand this leavel English, but because with magic, understanding it in simplified version just felt more natural.
"Ding! simplified version of A Comprehensive Guide to Low-Level Spells purchased successfully! 50 merit points deducted, remaining merit points: 0."
"Ding! Because the host is purchasing an item from the system store for the first time, a newbie gift pack is specially presented. Do you want to open it?"
There's even a newbie gift pack?
Theo was delighted to hear this. "Open it!"
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the item: Memory Bread (30 days) x1. Do you want to consume it immediately?"
Memory Bread?
Theo looked at the bread that appeared in his mind, emitting a faint fragrance, and fell into thought.
Memory bread, as the name suggests, is something that can enhance memory after eating it.
For the current Theo, it can also be considered a useful thing.
However, can this thing really enhance memory?
Theo expressed deep doubts about this.
After all, memory bread is just too fantastical, too unscientific!
After thinking about it, Theo finally decided not to eat this piece of memory bread for the time being.
After all, this thing is just too fantastical, too unscientific!
If there are any adverse reactions after eating it, it will be troublesome.
It's better to find someone to do a test run in the future to confirm the authenticity of this memory bread.
Theo opened the system interface and found that A Comprehensive Guide to Low-Level Spells had already appeared in the system backpack.
He directly used his will to take out the book.
The book was thick, with thousands of pages, but it felt very light in his hand, as if it weighed only a few sheets of paper.
"This should also be a magic item, right?"
Theo muttered to himself as he opened the book.
The pages were very thin, but the writing on them was very clear.
Theo just casually flipped through a few pages and found that the content of this book was indeed very detailed, even including some magic theory.
This made him even more pleasantly surprised.
"With this book, I can systematically learn magic!"
Theo closed the book and put it away.
Then, he opened the system interface again and checked the other items in the system store.
[Item 1: Essence of Dittany 50ml (Unbound) 5 Merit Points]
[Item 2: A Comprehensive Guide to Low-Level Spells (Unbound) Sold Out]
[Refresh Time Countdown: 8 hours 22 minutes 11 seconds]
[Merit Points: 0]
[Dark Lord Achievement: Unachieved]
Looking at the only remaining item, Theo frowned.
Essence of Dittany is a healing holy medicine that can quickly recover from injuries and has amazing effects.
However, Theo is not injured now, and the price is as high as 5 merit points, which makes him a little hesitant.
"Should I buy it?"
Theo was a bit tangled.
The value of Essence of Dittany is very high, and it has a wide range of uses. Whether it is used by himself or used for trading, it is a good choice.
However, he currently only has 5 merit points. Once he buys Essence of Dittany, he will not have extra merit points to buy other items.
"Let's wait until it refreshes tomorrow."
Theo finally decided to give up buying Essence of Dittany.
After all, what he needs most now is to improve his strength.
And to improve his strength, he needs more merit points to buy magic books or other magic items.
Therefore, he must save merit points as much as possible.
"However, it seems that it is not easy to get more merit points."
Theo was a little worried.
Although the items in the system store are very good, the prices are very expensive.
If you want to get enough merit points to buy these items, you must do more good deeds.
However, doing good deeds is not an easy task.
Especially in this chaotic era, if you want to do good deeds, you must have enough strength.
Otherwise, you may even put yourself in danger.
"It seems I need to plan carefully."
Theo thought to himself.
He must find a way that can quickly earn merit points and ensure his own safety.
"Perhaps I can start with Tom Riddle."
An idea suddenly popped into Theo's mind.
Tom Riddle is the future Dark Lord, and there must be many "good deeds" to be mined from him.
"Moreover, Tom Riddle is still a child, and it is easy to control."
Theo felt that this idea was quite feasible.
"Let's do it!"
Theo made a decision.
He wants to make good use of Tom Riddle, this "tool person," to earn more merit points for himself.
Of course, Theo will not really use Tom Riddle as a tool person.
He just wants to learn more about this world through Tom Riddle.
After all, Tom Riddle is one of the protagonists of this world, and there must be many secrets hidden in him.
And these secrets are very valuable assets for Theo.
"Tom Riddle, you have to cooperate with me."
A smile appeared on the corner of Theo's mouth again.
