The Wizard Card Club announced that it would hold the first wizard card competition, but this did not cause any waves in Hogwarts. After all, it was just an event within the Wizard Card Club.
When the news appeared on the notice boards of various colleges, the students of Hogwarts were a little surprised at first, but that was all. There were many people who were curious about the competition, but not many actually signed up for it. Most people were still waiting and watching. Moreover, the announcement of going to Hogsmeade at the end of November obviously attracted more attention.
"How many people have signed up for the wizard card tournament?" George curiously leaned over the registration form held by Lee Jordan. He was very curious about how many people were planning to participate in this wizard card tournament.
"There are only four people who have signed up for Gryffindor for now." Lee Jordan looked at Albert helplessly and asked, "What if we can't get sixteen people?"
"It's not a big deal. It's just a club match," Albert didn't care much about the match.
He was indeed optimistic about the future of Wizard Cards, but Wizard Cards was still in its infancy, and Albert had already prepared for the worst. Even if only three people participated in the competition, at least the champion, runner-up and third place would be born from the three. As for Albert and several roommates, they would not participate in the competition, otherwise how could others have fun.
"What if no one signs up?" Fred suddenly asked.
“Aren’t there still four of us?” Albert raised his hand and pointed at the four of them, smiling and comforting, “I will set up another consolation prize when the time comes.”
"Then the consolation prize must go to George." Lee Jordan teased George with a smile. George played the wizard cards the worst among the four.
As expected, am I too concerned about the results
Games are meant to be fun.
Perhaps, Albert did not expect this Wizard Card Club to be so grand. Some things really need to be done slowly.
"By the way, are we going next door at the end of the month?" After Fred sorted out his wizard cards, he looked up at Albert and asked in a low voice.
"Go, why not." Albert knew exactly where the next door Fred was referring to. "I have an appointment with Mr. Dagworth. I should be able to learn how to prepare that potion from him by then. However, the preparation seems to be more difficult than expected."
"If you succeed, remember to give me some to try. It might help my brain become more flexible."
"You finally admit that you're an idiot."
Fred asked back with a strange expression, "You mean Albert is also a fool?"
"If it really works, I won't have to memorize those annoying theories all day long, and I won't have to spend so much time on homework." Lee Jordan was also very interested in the Bafe brain stimulant. Who wouldn't be interested in being able to make themselves smarter
"That requires successful configuration." Albert was speechless, "and the effect will definitely not be as good as you think."
Fred glanced at the person coming over here, shut up and stopped talking about what happened just now, and did not forget to kick Albert with his foot.
"Damn it, who kicked me?" Lee Jordan glared at Fred and George.
Fred gave me an I-don't-know-what-you're-talking-about look.
Albert noticed someone sitting down across from them, it was Truman, the head of Hufflepuff.
"What's the matter?" Albert asked. He also noticed Truman's depressed expression, which was definitely not a good thing.
"The wizard card competition doesn't seem to be very attractive. So far, only one person has signed up." Truman said depressedly.
"Only one, and you're the only one who signed up?" Albert asked with a strange expression.
"Yes, I'm the only one." Truman nodded. The situation was worse than he thought. Several days had passed, and no one had come to him to sign up. Truman was immediately depressed.
"There are four of us here, which means there are five of us in total." Lee Jordan counted on his fingers and said, "We should be able to make eight."
"You need to have some confidence and patience." Albert looked at Truman and said meaningfully, "We have given them the opportunity. If they don't want to participate, then forget it. They will definitely envy the champion's prize when the time comes."
"What do you plan to use as prizes?" Truman was a little curious. He knew that Albert would prepare some prizes, but he didn't have high expectations for the prizes.
"It's not confirmed yet, maybe it will be Galleons, or something else."
In fact, Albert did not intend to use Galleons as prizes at first, but he changed his mind when he found new tasks appearing on his task panel not long ago.
Small competition.
You are planning a wizard card competition and intend to use it to promote wizard cards. Then invite at least 32 contestants and attract more than 100 spectators to hold this competition with great fanfare.
Rewards: 5000 experience, 1 skill point, gain the Transmutation Spell skill, reputation +300, and obtain the title: Founder of Wizard Cards.
The reward for this mission is incredible, but it would be a problem if no one participates.
However, Albert was not worried at all that no one would participate. After all, money talks. When people hear that the champion will receive ten Galleons, there will definitely be a lot of people interested in this event.
"Are you ready to pay?" Truman looked at Albert with a strange expression.
"If Galleons are used as rewards, then a registration fee may be required." Albert thought for a moment and said, "I won't be taken advantage of. Besides, it will be troublesome if a lot of people sign up. You should have read the rules of the competition."
"Registration fee?" Fred and the others' eyes lit up, but Truman frowned.
“If there was an entry fee, there would probably be even fewer participants.”
"Well, it can be regarded as a kind of screening of the contestants. If the reward for the champion is ten Galleons," Albert thought for a moment and continued.
"Ten Galleons?" Truman was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt a strong aura coming towards him.
Ten Galleons are very attractive to many people, considering that many students may not have even one Galleon in their pockets.
"Do we really have to make it this big?" Truman was a little worried whether Albert could come up with the galleons. If not, the game would become a joke.
"It has not been confirmed yet. We will see when the time comes. You can try to spread the word that the champion reward for the wizard card may be ten galleons."
"Great! I think a lot of people will be interested in this and wait for my good news." Truman gave Albert a thumbs up. Although he didn't understand why Albert was willing to take out this money as a reward for the championship, he still admired him very much. Truman knew that Albert must have other reasons for doing this. This guy was not a person who would suffer a loss.
"Albert, is it really okay for you to spend money like this?" Not only Fred, but everyone else looked at Albert with concern. Ten Galleons was not a small amount of money for them!
"What are you afraid of? It only happens once a year. However, we need to speed up and try to perfect the wizard cards so that we can start selling them next semester."
Yes, once Wizards cards become popular, selling cards will be the most profitable.
However, the quality of the first batch of wizard cards cannot be too bad, which is a problem and cannot be solved in one or two years.
