Hogwarts Staff Maker

The official competition began after a short break.

More than 90 qualified teams lined up on the track according to the order in which they completed the sled production.

Team Liu Sen was ranked seventh and ranked near the front. He and Neville's sled were alongside Harry and Ron.

In front of them was the sled of Cedric, the Weasley twins and others.

Liu Sen found that his sled might be the most complicated and sophisticated one on the field! The sleds of the first three Ravenclaw teams were very simple and rough!

The first-place sled had a base made of three bark-covered logs glued side by side, with a log placed horizontally on top as a seat, and two arm-thick sticks inserted vertically in front of the seat as handles! That was it! There wasn’t even a curve at the front!

The second place sled was even more bizarre! It was a wooden stake with leather on it that was enlarged to more than one meter thick using a magnifying spell, and then two holes were dug out inside for people to sit on! It didn't even have a base! Liu Sen was very curious about how they would keep their balance!

The third one is a little bit stronger, but only to a limited extent. The sled has two skateboards, but those skateboards are too small, just the size of two feet!

It looks like an enhanced version of the second one, but with two extra legs on both sides of the trunk to keep balance! It's like a bicycle with training wheels! Big trunk, small legs! Liu Sen was worried about them, wondering if the legs would break when turning!

Liu Sen shook his head. He looked back and saw more bizarre and imaginative designs! The competition required the user to use the materials on site to make a two-seat sled that could move forward on its own. As long as it didn't fly, it could move forward in any way!

Are the young wizards understanding things too broadly? What kind of weird things are these? But we have to admit that these weird things are also in line with the rules!

It is said that wizards lack logical thinking, and it seems to be true! For a civilization that relies too much on magic, does it still need to consider so much?

What about industrial design? A magic trick allows you to realize various functions! What about material mechanics? There are several reinforcement spells to help you solve it! What about tolerance matching? The enlargement and reduction spells can do whatever you want!

Liu Sen looked around and whispered, "Neville, isn't our design a little too conservative? Look around you!"

Neville also noticed the young wizards' imaginative designs. Even though he was born in a wizard family, his worldview was refreshed. But he was still confident in Liu Sen and said, "Don't worry, Liu Sen! Our sled is the best!"

Ron on the side excitedly interrupted, "Ours is the best! We'll know after a comparison! Haha!"

After waiting for a while, Li Qiaodan began the countdown. With the last sound, a dazzling red firework exploded in the sky.

In an instant all the contestants began to rush forward!

The initial section of the track is a separate straight ice track, leaving enough space for the athletes to create distance between themselves.

Only after the straight section is over will you enter the official track through a turn!

The sled designed by Liu Sen is operated by a steering wheel, which allows for more precise control and is more in line with his usage habits.

The pedals under your feet are connected to the switches of the levitation spell and the wind talisman, just like driving a car!

What surprised Liu Sen was that many of the contestants had faster acceleration than his sled! As soon as he stepped on the accelerator, several sleds rushed out with a whoosh!

However, these sleds that accelerated too quickly obviously lacked stamina, and after more than ten seconds, Liu Sen overtook them one by one!

Neville looked sideways as he passed the slowing sleds. Most of them used the fierce fire-breathing magic of Blazing Flame as a propulsion force! But it was obvious that the makers of these sleds did not consider the heat resistance of wood, nor did they add enough fire-proof function!

The tails of several sleds were on fire, and the magic runes on them were destroyed by the flames themselves. The sleds were left with only inertia and plunged into the snow piles on both sides of the track!

Immediately, more than a dozen Galaxy Group staff members appeared in mid-air. They rode on their flying brooms and calmly waved their wands, quickly putting out the flames.

After confirming that the participating wizards were not injured, they immediately took off again to provide support to other sleds that were in trouble.

Liu Sen nimbly dodged the faulty sled and accelerated on the straight track.

Not far ahead, the twin brothers were sprinting while shouting loudly.

Their sled also had a flamethrower, but it was much more advanced than the previous ones. At the tail of their sled was a fire dragon transformed by magic! The dragon was only the size of a puppy, but the flames it spewed were very fierce! The propulsion provided by the little dragon put their sled in the leading position!

Following closely behind the twins was Cedric's sled. There was a thin film on his head, probably formed by the Bubble Head Charm, which acted as goggles. This could isolate him from the strong airflow and allow him to see the road ahead clearly at all times.

The acceleration effect of his sled is also very good. A group of ancient magic runes are neatly engraved on the flat tail of the sled. It uses the storm magic runes as the driving force. At the same time, bubbles are constantly generated. Under the action of the storm, the bubbles are rapidly ejected backwards, as if it is a flame composed of colorful bubbles!

The Ravenclaws who ranked in the top three of the manufacturing list made Liu Sen amazed by the way they advanced.

The sled was made of a wooden stake. Liu Sen was curious about how they could keep balance. The amazing thing was that they didn't even consider balance! The two drivers were one on the front and one on the back! One on top! One on the bottom!

The wooden stakes on the track spin forward like cannonballs! The driver who turns to the top controls the direction! When turning to the bottom, the head retracts, and the special helmet on the head fits perfectly with the hole in the cockpit! At this time, the other driver exposes his head to drive!

Liu Sen gave a thumbs up sincerely and praised in his heart: You are really a talented person!

At this time, the straight track was nearing its end, and more than 30 sleds with substandard quality and design defects were eliminated.

There is a sharp turn at the end of the straight track, but in order to prevent the contestants from crashing off the track, a huge curved ice wall was built on the curved part!

Even if the sled rushes up without slowing down, it can still turn on the arc-shaped wall! This ingenious design has been widely used in subsequent tracks! It not only increases safety, but also makes the competition fun and exciting!

Liu Sen drove the sled on the curved wall and 'inertia-turned', and entered the official track in a flash!

A six-lane track was built on the Black Lake, with different arrangements on each lane. Traps or rewards require players to adapt to the situation!

At this time, Li Qiaodan's commentary voice sounded again: "Welcome to the official track! Congratulations! The challenge officially begins!"

As he finished speaking, washbasin-sized translucent gold coins lit up on the track! Each coin had a circle of the Galaxy Group logo, with different scores such as 1, 5, and 10 marked in the middle!

"Ladies and gentlemen! Dear contestants! Do you see the gold coins on the field?

Please drive your beloved sled to collect them! Feel free to crash into them! As long as you smash the gold coins, you will get points!

The first sled to complete 5 laps will get 3000 points! The second place will get 2800 points! And so on! But don't underestimate the gold coins on the track!

A little bit adds up to a lot! In the end, the ranking will be determined by points! Please keep your eyes open! If you encounter red coins, don't hit them! Red means points will be deducted! At the same time, there are exciting mechanisms waiting for everyone on the field! So, go for it! I wish you all good luck! "

Everyone has seen the rules of the game before the race, but only when you are on the track will you truly understand their meaning!

Magic gold coins are refreshed at any time. After you get on a sled to collect the coins, they will be refreshed on the spot soon, but you don’t know whether it will add points or subtract points!

Ding ding ding ding! A series of gold coins collided and Liu Sen was in a good mood! It felt great to harvest gold coins!

Liu Sen sincerely admired Lupin at this moment. He just described the scene in the racing game he had played, and the other party understood it and did it!

Moreover, both the visual and sound effects are impeccable! Liu Sen experienced the reality and excitement that VR racing can't achieve in this magical world!

At this time, the "log block" who was chasing the Weasley twins in front of them was the first to have problems. Their sense of direction became worse and worse. The disadvantages of the two people's alternating control became apparent.

If it was a straight track, it wouldn't be a big problem for the two to take turns, but it was much more difficult on the complex and ever-changing official track! They couldn't react to the bonus and deduction coins in front of them!

Moreover, circling in circles for a long time also made the two drivers start to feel dizzy!

Finally, when it was flying over a small slope, the 'log block' instantly lost its direction and spun outside the track!

Liu Sen's sled happened to be behind him, and this sudden big guy blocked his way!

Amid Neville's screams, Liu Sen pulled the 'brake' to activate the reverse wind rune under the sled! He narrowly avoided the rolling wooden stake!

By the time Liu Sen started again and got back on the track, a large number of sleds had already passed him!

Liu Sen comforted the sad-looking Neville and said, "It's okay! It's just the first round! We still have a chance!"

As he spoke, Liu Sen made a hand gesture and activated a magical talisman!

The sled suddenly accelerated, and as it passed one sled after another, it actually gave Liu Sen and the other man a strong feeling of being pushed on their backs!

However, the magic talisman was originally intended for humans, so it was not very effective when used on a large sled. It only accelerated for a few seconds before its power was exhausted!

The sled started to speed again, but Liu Sen was already in the middle of the team, and the track seemed a little crowded.

Looking around, Liu Sen discovered another magical design!

The one on the left can no longer be described by the word "sled", it is a large centipede!

It's obviously a weird shape created by Transfiguration, but it's incredibly stable, allowing several pieces of wood connected together to run smoothly and quickly on the ice! All-terrain! Multiple legs for shock absorption! Awesome! !

The one on the right is also outrageous! Their sled is a very traditional design, light and small, the kind that even a dog can pull!

But the key is that what he transformed out of the wood was not a dog! Instead, it was a giant python!

Snake pulling a sled! It's outrageous! But the key is that this snake looks like a 5-cent special effect! Not to mention the sections, the wood grain on it is clearly visible! The snake's head didn't change successfully, so I took a pen and drew a pair of cute eyes on it!

It looks pretty good... but what the hell! Main point: One is really daring to build, the other two are really daring to drive? !

Liu Sen smiled knowingly. These seniors' imaginations were no worse than his own! Not bad, not bad. I am not alone in this!
