The Godzilla's eyes, which were once filled with savagery and destructive madness, now look so pure, like those of a newborn baby, full of curiosity about the new world.

Not only that, Yi Shuihan also felt that Godzilla's hostility towards him had completely disappeared, replaced by a sense of intimacy like that of a family member.

"Could it be that its mind has restarted, and because I treated it, it considers me its closest person?" This thought popped into my mind, and I quickly confirmed it.

The world is always so amazing because you never know what will happen next that will leave you speechless.

When the wizards saw the giant beast perform a series of seemingly comical actions at Yi Shuihan's command, they were extremely bewildered.

"Is this still the world I know? How did it become like this?"

"Could it be that Mr. Yi has already tamed this giant beast?"

"Get beaten up and then treated to make it submit? Is it that simple?"

"Easy? Go and try beating it up, see if it beats you up or you beat it up."

When Fudge saw the obedient Godzilla, he was already full of admiration for Yi Shuihan. Although the final result was not Godzilla's death but its subjugation, he did not dare to express any opinion to Yi Shuihan. In any case, the matter was resolved, wasn't it?

And perhaps in this way, those old guys will value you more.

“I’ve already spoken to Xiao Lan and told him to stay here with you for now. As long as you provide him with a certain amount of food, he won’t cause trouble. If necessary, you can also use his help. Fudge, you’ll be in charge of communicating with him from now on.”

Yi Shuihan addressed the crowd.

Little Blue! Is that what you mean by that? Is it really okay to just pick a name like that?

Hearing that Godzilla was going to stay, everyone turned pale. Godzilla was much more dangerous than before, and they were afraid that if they were not careful, Godzilla would unleash its fury and the entire Ministry of Magic would cease to exist.

"No problem, I will definitely do my best to fulfill your instructions, but it really wants to communicate with me."

Fuji was politically astute; while others were hesitant and uncertain, he took the lead in expressing his firm support for Yi Shuihan's will.

If you don't seize this opportunity now, will you ever have another chance?

Hmph, if I become the bridge to communicate with Godzilla, let's see who dares to disobey me in the future.

Yi Shuihan gave Fuji an approving look, and Fuji immediately straightened his back, looking like he was being inspected, which was quite amusing.

Chapter 545, Pilot Program and Recruitment

"Don't worry, as long as your requests aren't too outrageous, like killing a few insignificant people instead of destroying the entire Ministry of Magic, it should agree to them. Of course, the premise is that you must get along well with it."

Yi Shuihan said meaningfully, implying that Fudge could use Godzilla's power to intimidate and consolidate his position.

Upon hearing this, Fudge's eyes lit up with joy, and he repeatedly said, "Yes, yes, I will definitely get along well with Xiao Lan."

He tentatively greeted Godzilla, "Hi, Blue, hello, I'm Fudge, nice to meet you."

Godzilla's big eyes stared straight at Fudge, and just as Fudge was about to run away under the pressure, it slowly nodded.

This scene shocked the surrounding wizards, and some who were not fond of Fudge even considered changing their attitude in the future.

"What about what we talked about before, choosing a city to announce the Ministry of Magic's news?"

Yi Shuihan didn't care what others thought and immediately demanded the reward he deserved.

Upon hearing Yi Shuihan's words, all the wizards' faces turned solemn. What was about to happen might be recorded in the history of magic, perhaps marking an unprecedented turning point in the magical world. Whether it would be heaven or hell, they did not know and could not change it. The only thing they could do at this moment was to try their best not to appear indifferent.

"Are you really going to do that?"

Dumbledore couldn't help but speak up. He knew that regardless of whether Yi Shuihan succeeded or not, there would definitely be some losses in the early stages. Some stubborn elements would go crazy because of the birth of magic, and it would be impossible for things to go smoothly.

"Of course, all difficulties will eventually be overcome with absolute strength."

Yi Shuihan answered crisply and decisively.

Such a strong attitude made Dumbledore realize that he could neither persuade nor stop Yi Shuihan. Otherwise, he would become Yi Shuihan's enemy, something he dared not even think about. The feeling of being pierced by a thousand swords was something not everyone could bear.

Many people have a strong will and are not afraid of death. For some, death is even a relief. However, they are simply not afraid of death, but not afraid of the pain that comes before death. Painless death and painful death are two completely different kinds of death.

Yi Shuihan had no doubt that Dumbledore was not afraid of death, as evidenced by the fact that in the original story he deliberately let Snape kill Voldemort in order to lull him into a false sense of security.

"Mia, notify the logistics department to deal with the situation here. Sanchi, you're in charge of Xiao Lan's food. Sir, please come with me."

Fuji gave an order and led the way, seemingly wanting to discuss the choice of this city with Yi Shuihan in detail.

Following Fuji, Yi Shuihan and the others arrived at a room with a large conference table. As they entered, the originally dim room immediately lit up.

"Please have a seat, sir. Professor Dumbledore, and..."

Fudge looked at Voldemort, finding it hard to speak, but thankfully Quirrell had already sat down, and Voldemort didn't even glance at Fudge.

Once everyone was seated, Fudge took a huge map from a cabinet and spread it on the conference table.

This is a complete map of the United Kingdom, showing every city and even small town clearly, including the names of every street.

Moreover, if you want to see it in more detail, you can use the zoom function to zoom in to the maximum, which can even give you an immersive feeling.

“That’s why the combination of magic and life is the most exciting thing.” Yi Shuihan sighed, looking at the map and starting to think. Fuji didn’t urge him, and just waited quietly for Yi Shuihan’s decision.

For a moment, the room became very quiet.

"How should we choose? I don't know much about the UK, I only know that the capital is New York. Maybe we should use this as a pilot city? Or should we choose a medium-sized city with a moderate population?"

Choosing New York is actually a better option. If problems arise, they will be very difficult to control, and it's even questionable whether Fudge can persuade the British leadership. However, the benefits are obvious: if there are no problems in New York, then problems elsewhere will no longer be problems.

The New York City Hall gathers most of Britain's celebrities, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it represents the entire British upper class.

In a country, especially a capitalist empire like Britain, the upper-class capitalists actually represent many people in the lower classes. With them as role models, ordinary people in the lower classes are more likely to accept magic.

"I don't have much time to take it slow, so I'll just choose to go with the twist."

Having made his decision, Yi Shuihan pointed to the map in front of him, and the map quickly changed, leaving only the entire city of Niu Ri on it.

"This is the place we've decided on, Fudge. It's up to you now. I hope you won't let me down."

"Definitely, definitely, I will get this done as quickly as possible."

Despite making promises, Fudge was extremely uncertain, after all, it was New York, not some remote small city, and he could already imagine how much resistance the plan would encounter.

Unfortunately, Fudge has no other options left, so he has no choice but to bite the bullet and go for it.

"I will keep an eye on how things are going. Also, please publish a notice in the Daily Prophet saying that I am going to establish a potion research institute and recruit wizards who know potion science and alchemy. As long as they meet the criteria, their monthly salary will start at 1000 gold gallons, and they will be under my protection from then on."

A monthly salary of 1000 Galleons is such an astronomical sum that many wizards would be interested! As for whether they would come and not put in any effort, that's not up to them.

"I wonder if I can join? I'm actually quite knowledgeable about potions."

Voldemort suddenly spoke.

Dumbledore's expression changed, and he became somewhat nervous. The money was secondary; the main concern was Yi Shuihan's claim of being under his protection. If Voldemort were to successfully join, wouldn't it mean that no one would be able to deal with Voldemort in the future?

Chapter 546, Hagrid's Dragon

This was an open scheme, one that Dumbledore couldn't change at all. Yi Shuihan's will was beyond his control, so he could only watch helplessly as Yi Shuihan refused Voldemort's demands.

Yi Shuihan watched Voldemort with great interest. He didn't believe that someone like Voldemort would willingly submit to others. It was very likely that this was just a temporary expedient, and once he regained his power, he would start causing trouble again.

However, Yi Shuihan didn't care. As long as Voldemort dared to be his obstacle, he wouldn't mind playing the role of Wu Song.

"You can come and take the test. As long as you pass, I don't care what you did before. What matters is the future. If any problems arise under my nose, I will use my methods to make you behave. If you can't behave, then you'll never have to behave again."

He doesn't need to abide by the laws set by the Ministry of Magic. If he commits a crime, he won't be sent to Azkaban, but will be dealt with according to the rules he sets. He has a deep understanding of the power of force.

"I will definitely go then."

Voldemort's expression was somewhat uncertain, because he considered himself a great figure, and even though he had said so, Yi Shuihan treated him like an ordinary wizard, which hurt his pride.

Dumbledore breathed a slight sigh of relief, since Voldemort hadn't gotten his way immediately after all, and at least had some time to catch up.

"Our Ministry of Magic can't control the Daily Prophet, but we can publish a message in the Ministry's name. But are you sure it's 1000 Galleons a month? And not 10 or 100 Galleons?"

Fuji was certain of Yi Shuihan's strength, but the money was another matter. He could tell that Yi Shuihan didn't just have one or a few people; he needed at least dozens, which would require tens of thousands of gold gallons in expenses each month. Even large families couldn't afford such a large sum of money.

"Don't worry, I'll handle the Galleon issue. I'll pay them in advance, then they won't have anything to say!"

Yi Shuihan's reply was calm and nonchalant.

“I believe Yi will definitely keep his word.” Dumbledore couldn’t help but recall the scene when Yi Shuihan was curious about the Room of Requirement, and the pile of Galleons was still fresh in his memory.

"If it's a matter of money, I do have connections; I can come up with a few million."

Voldemort interjected, "It seems he's going to great lengths to get closer to Yi Shuihan."

However, Yi Shuihan was unmoved. He merely glanced at her indifferently, a faint smile on his face, and asked, "How much do you think it would cost to buy a magic potion that could grant ordinary people magical powers?"

These words made the other three people present suddenly realize that if Yi Shuihan could really do what he said and develop a magic potion that would allow ordinary people to have magic power, an ordinary person would probably spend most of their life savings to buy it, and there would be no shortage of market demand. In that case, money would really not be a problem for Yi Shuihan.

Of course, this is on the premise that Yi Shuihan can actually do it, and before that, Yi Shuihan still needs to come up with a large sum of money.

"Whether you believe it or not, money is really not a problem for me. To paraphrase someone, any problem that can be solved with money is not a problem. And compared to money, I believe the protection I offer later is even more tempting, isn't it?"

It is indeed tempting. Didn't you see that even our famous Voldemort is tempted? Before regaining his power, he hopes to use Yi Shuihan's protection to fight against Dumbledore.

Once this news comes out, especially when those dark wizards who are always on the run learn about Yi Shuihan's fight with Godzilla at the Ministry of Magic, they will all come to seek refuge if they have any confidence in their abilities. Sometimes, safety is more attractive than money.

Why do we like money? Isn't it because we like the sense of security that money brings? Because with money, we have the confidence to do many things, and ultimately it's about feeling safe in our hearts.

After exchanging contact information with Fudge, Yi Shuihan and the others left the Ministry of Magic and returned to Hogwarts.

The return was quick, almost like a rocket compared to the departure time.

"Meow!"

As soon as I entered, I saw Meow rushing straight towards me. It seemed a little annoyed that its owner had left it alone in the room without taking it with them.

Yi Shuihan could even see that Miaoya's cheeks were a little chubby, which was extremely cute.

"Okay, okay, I know. I promise I won't leave without saying goodbye next time. I'll take you with me wherever I go." Yi Shuihan soothed Miaoya, appearing very patient.

You seem to be in a good mood.

"Why are you here?"

Yi Shuihan then realized that there was an extra person in his room, or more accurately, a little girl named Hermione.

“I saw Professor Dumbledore and Professor Quirrell, so I guessed you should be back too.”

"Clever young lady, what brings you here?"

"Hagrid has a dragon, you know? And Harry, Ron, and I found the dragon when we went to see him."

"Let me guess, it's not just that, Malfoy also discovered this?"

Seeing Hermione's "How did you know?" expression, Yi Shuihan chuckled inwardly while also feeling a bit puzzled. The plot was developing too fast; it was obvious that this shouldn't have happened at this point in the original story.

Furthermore, Harry has virtually no say in the matter of the Philosopher's Stone anymore, so they don't need to ask Hagrid or use Cerberus's method.

So, Voldemort already knew Cerberus's weakness so early on?

Shaking his head, Yi Shuihan could only attribute it to the butterfly effect.

“Malfoy threatened to tell Professor McGonagall about this, take away Hagrid’s dragon, and fire him, so I came to you to think of a way to put in a good word with Professor Dumbledore.”

Hermione explained her purpose.

“There’s no need to do that. Dumbledore’s relationship with Hagrid is much closer than mine is with him. Hagrid is Dumbledore’s confidant, and he will handle this matter properly.”

Chapter 547, The Magic World is in Turmoil

"But Malfoy said his father has connections in the Ministry of Magic, and if the school can't resolve this, they'll send someone from the Ministry of Magic to take the dragon away."

Hermione still looked worried, especially when the topic of the Ministry of Magic came up.

"Ministry of Magic?"

Yi Shuihan's expression was somewhat strange, then he smiled and said, "I can help with that. Coincidentally, I met the Minister of Magic during this trip, and I believe he will give me some face."

In Hermione's presence, Yi Shuihan and Fudge began communicating using the method Hermione was most familiar with—not magic, but a telephone.

A modified magic telephone; otherwise, we wouldn't be able to receive messages here.

"Hello, this is Fudge."

"it's me!"

There was silence on the other end, followed by a slightly rapid, cautious, and almost obsequious voice that said, "Is this Mr. Yi? Is there anything I can do for you?"

"It's like this, there's a guy at Hogwarts named Hagrid, who I'm on good terms with. Recently he got a dragon as a pet, but that doesn't comply with the rules of magic, so..."

“I’ll get Haiger a license right away. Since he’s Mr. Yi’s friend, it’s perfectly acceptable for him to keep a dragon.”

Before Yi Shuihan could finish speaking, Fuji, who was on the other end of the line, immediately switched to his Chinese accent and made a guarantee. This was a good opportunity to strengthen his relationship with Yi Shuihan, so how could Fuji miss it? As for whether doing so might violate the rules, he couldn't care less about that since it would bring him closer to Yi Shuihan.

And compared to this matter, isn't the public disclosure of magic the real big deal?

After Yi Shuihan ended the call, Hermione asked with a puzzled look, "Who is that Fudge? Is what he said believable?"
