Chapter 7: The Past and Present Life of Dudley!
Open the door to the master bedroom on the second floor and enter Dali's private room.
The first thing you see is a tall, densely packed bookshelf, which is right against one wall of the room.
The bookshelves contain Muggle books on psychology, mysticism, genetics, ancient Latin linguistics, sociology, and boxing, as well as encyclopedic and practical wizarding books covered with covers, such as "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them," "Theory of Magic," "The Great Events in Modern Wizarding," "Standard Spells," "The Complete Book of Potions," and "Imagining the Origins of Wizarding."
Besides books, Dudley's room also contains Muggle-like technological items such as a refrigerator, computer, camera, and music box, a soft and comfortable bed, a desk, and many storage cabinets and boxes of various sizes, containing many ordinary or special gadgets.
There were three packets of Harry's blood refrigerated in the refrigerator, and a whole box of Harry's hair in a large wooden crate next to the refrigerator.
In a hidden drawer under the bedroom bed, there was a withered limb of a Bowtrus tree, a feather of a harbinger bird, several Galleons, and a rough ruby the size of a pigeon's egg.
These are the valuable items that Dudley collected during the eleven years and fourteen days after he was reincarnated into this world.
The source is legitimate, everything is in accordance with the rules, and it's all aboveboard... Well, maybe so.
Three of the packets contained Harry's blood, which were collected during their blood draws at Muggle hospitals over the past decade, and Dudley's own blood was also drawn.
That box of Harry's hair was from the hair he had cut off and accumulated during his long period of madness. Harry's magical outbursts greatly affected his hair; when he was seven or eight years old, his hair would grow to his waist overnight.
The wizarding books and Galleons were obtained through a fair trade with Mr. Digg, a Harry fan.
The withered limbs of the Bowtruckle and the feathers of the Birch were Dudley's rewards for helping others.
This world is home to many magical creatures besides wizards and Muggles. Although most Muggles are unaware of this, it doesn't change the fact that everyone lives on the same planet.
Over the long years, some items related to wizards and magical creatures have ended up in the hands of Muggles.
Certain items with obvious unusual features will be searched and confiscated by members of the Ministry of Magic, but there are always some less conspicuous magical materials that slip through the net.
The Bowtruckle and the Lucky Bird are two magical creatures found in England, and it's quite plausible that their shed remains end up in the hands of unsuspecting Muggles.
If the current Dudley Gang weren't just a domineering group of kids that Dudley developed in the Little Huijin District Elementary School, with extremely limited influence and sphere of influence, the magical materials he acquired would likely be even more numerous and of higher quality.
As for the valuable ruby rough, it was a birthday gift that Vernon bought for Dudley from Africa at a high price.
This ruby, devoid of magic, with its exquisite appearance and tempting candy-like quality, would prove invaluable in his operation three weeks later.
"System, open my personal panel!"
After glancing around his room, Dali walked to the bedside and sat down, silently issuing commands in his mind.
A translucent light screen panel immediately appeared before his eyes, visible only to him.
[Host: Dudley Dursley]
[Identity: Muggle (Magic Medium, Magic Enhancement)]
【Characteristics: Maintains the bloodline medium of the stable ancient magic - Love Protection (Modified Version of Maternal Sacrifice).
Living as a family with Harry Potter, the object of this magic's protection, and one's own blood and in-laws, can charge the protective magic on the object, making the object immune to and able to deflect instant-death attacks until adulthood.
During the duration of the protective spell, if someone harbors murderous intent towards the protected target touches it, the spell will passively counterattack, and the damage from the counterattack will be proportional to the intensity of the murderous intent.
[Extraordinary Ability: Strength Enhancement (Enhanced and modified by the 'Great Strength' magic cast by Harry Potter over a long period of time, giving the host three times the physical strength and corresponding power control of a healthy adult male.)]
[Currently unlocked regret events:]
Petunia Dursley – Rejection from the Wizarding World (Class D), The Tragedy of the Freak Sister (Class B), The Unspeakable Conflict of Love (Class D);
Harry Potter – The Savior's Dark Childhood (S-Tier), Absent Parental Love (S-Tier);
Details of the unfortunate incident:
The Rejection of the Wizarding World (Class D): Petunia is a Muggle with a younger sister who possesses magical talent. Due to jealousy of her parents' favoritism towards her sister, she developed the idea of learning magic at a young age.
Petunia wrote to Dumbledore with high hopes, asking to study there, but Dumbledore politely declined. From then on, the door to the magical world was completely closed to Petunia, and perhaps it never was ever opened to her.
The Tragedy of My Freak Sister (B-rated): On the night of October 31, 1981, Harry lost his mother, and Petunia lost her sister.
The unspoken, complex feelings of love and care (Level D): Omitted.
Harry's Dark Childhood (S-Class): The savior of the wizarding world, yet raised by his aunt and uncle in a place filled with repression and rejection. In the original storyline, Vernon's confinement, Petunia's mockery, and Dudley's bullying made Harry's childhood incredibly dark.
Missing Parental Love (S-Tier): Harry Potter, orphaned at a young age, deeply misses his parents and yearns to experience their love firsthand.
[Current Magic Item Fusion Opportunity: None.]
After browsing through the system panel once again, which he had seen countless times over the years, Dali silently fell into deep thought and reminiscence.
He was a middle-aged man in the Blue Star world who had experienced the coldness and warmth of human relationships. He was not lacking in courage and boldness, but he lacked a little bit of luck. He died young in an accident.
He thought he was completely finished, but to his surprise, he didn't drink the Meng Po soup or go through the normal reincarnation process in the underworld. His consciousness passed directly through a dark passage and was reincarnated into this strange yet familiar world, becoming Dudley Dursley.
He felt unfamiliar because he had become a foreigner he hadn't had much contact with in his previous life, leaving behind his original country and era; he felt familiar because he had read the original Harry Potter series and watched the movies in his previous life, loved them very much, and remembered them vividly.
As a genuine transmigrator from Earth, he naturally has no shortage of the golden fingers that everyone loves to see.
This means rescuing regrettable events in the original storyline to obtain the opportunity to fuse magical items of the corresponding level, and then fuse these magical items to advance to the Super God of Magic system.
Abbreviation: cheat/plug-in!
Dali's system cheat is neither particularly strong nor particularly weak.
The function name already explains it very clearly.
The stories related to Harry Potter are said to be fairy tales, but in reality they are incredibly tragic, filled with many regrets, both big and small.
As long as Dudley encounters the corresponding original characters, he can unlock regrettable events from the original story that have already happened to the corresponding characters or are about to happen to them at the current time.
Barring unforeseen circumstances, the timing of unlocking the regret events will follow the original story's timeline.
If the plot changes due to the influence of Dudley, this otherworldly 'butterfly,' he can also unlock corresponding regret events ahead of time when he encounters the corresponding characters from the original work.
