Coming from the 21st century with its information explosion, Roger possessed thirty years more future insight than people in 1992 regarding how to create an interesting world.
In this regard, Roger alone was sufficient.
If absolutely necessary, Roger could also use his prophecy ability to observe the future in a targeted manner. Regardless, inspiration would not be lacking.
What Roger needed most right now wasn't a game design position, but rather foundational workers who could make the world more realistic.
And talent in this area was virtually non-existent among the wizarding community at present, so Roger would have to train them from scratch himself.
Fortunately, not everything needed to start entirely from zero. Roger's Creation Mode plugin was like a very mature software tool, saving a lot of trouble.
Roger simply needed to teach wizards some basic programming skills, along with fundamental theories of biology, chemistry, and physics, ensuring the world's underlying structure had no major flaws.
According to Roger's calculations, using his Mind Acceleration and his old version of the Absolute Memory second brain, he could train a batch of 'employees' in four to six months.
Roger's current base was at Hogwarts. His partners, investment targets, and outsourcing clients were all here. If possible, he wanted to have the training institution affiliated with Hogwarts, as it would facilitate his management.
Remote teaching wasn't impossible, but it felt inconvenient.
"But Hogwarts is a place for teaching young wizards magic. Holding classes for adult wizards..." Dumbledore frowned slightly.
"We can hold the classes in Hogsmeade Village. It would just be an nominal affiliation, allowing them to reside nearby long-term. There's no need for adult wizards to actually enter Hogwarts."
Hogsmeade Village was practically a stone's throw away from Hogwarts. If Roger didn't have to consider the impact, he could travel back and forth in a minute using just his physical speed, no magic needed.
Moreover, Hogwarts students, with their guardians' permission, could freely travel between Hogsmeade Village and Hogwarts on Saturdays.
As for Roger, who nominally had no guardian, he could make his own decisions in this regard.
"That could work, but the Board of Governors might not be easy to deal with."
Children and seasoned adults were on different levels mentally. Although in this idealistic magical world, so-called 'maturity' might not be as powerful as the more vibrant minds of children.
But when it came to other things, it was a different story.
If possible, Dumbledore did not wish for the two groups to have too much prolonged close contact.
"The Board of Governors..." Roger also found them a bit troublesome.
Hogwarts was owned by the Board of Governors. Any systemic changes within the school required their approval; it wasn't something Roger and Dumbledore could decide on their own.
Previously, the reform of the Muggle Studies class had been passed by the Board of Governors, but that was because influential figures within the Ministry of Magic who wanted to push for legal reforms owed Dumbledore a favor. Under pressure to repay that favor, the Board of Governors decided to give face.
That was merely a curriculum reform, whereas Roger's current proposal was more significant in nature.
"I'll find an opportunity to contact them and sound them out," Roger said helplessly.
Actually, there was another simple solution: starting with the Hogwarts students.
But while theoretically possible, it wasn't practically feasible.
Training was one thing; with Mind Acceleration, it wasn't entirely impossible to free up time. The key was after the training. Roger's world-building wasn't a casual part-time job; it was essentially social work.
It consumed a tremendous amount of energy and was very tiring. To keep up with Roger's planned progress, the work hours within the accelerated world might need to exceed 48 hours per day. If the students were to focus on this every day...
Wait, Roger suddenly thought of something.
"Headmaster Dumbledore, what's the graduation and employment rate for Hogwarts students?"
"Why the sudden question?" Dumbledore looked confused at first, but then his expression cleared the next second.
"You're not thinking of...?"
"Compared to recruiting idle individuals from society with unknown backgrounds who require secondary verification, I believe fresh graduates from Hogwarts are more trustworthy."
Roger revealed his plan: "If I recall correctly, Pureblood Wizards at the school generally have their own family businesses or connections in various industries. Some are quite substantial, while others are just small workshops, but they generally don't have to worry about their future livelihoods."
"But it's different for Half-blood Wizards and Muggle-born Wizards."
There were two types of Half-blood Wizards: one where the previous generation was Pureblood, and their parents' generation suddenly began to intermarry with Muggles.
The other type was those who were largely disconnected from mainstream wizarding society and lived more within Muggle society.
The former were easier to manage, with some family assets to inherit. The latter depended more on individual effort.
If they could pass the Ultimate Wizard Exam or get along well with classmates who had more resources during their school years, their graduation would generally lead to a bright future, with positions in the Ministry of Magic and other key societal roles beckoning.
If they lacked ability and connections, they would essentially end up doing odd jobs. If they were lucky, they might become permanent employees in industries like magical candy factories, with some retirement benefits.
As for returning to Muggle society.
Hogwarts had a seven-year curriculum, with students spending their time from age 11 to 18 at Hogwarts. The Muggle world did not recognize Hogwarts diplomas.
It wasn't even as good as a vocational college diploma.
The final outcome would basically be the same as those Pureblood Wizards: relying on their parents' and family's connections to arrange jobs in Muggle society.
Directly transferring to a Muggle university?
If they had such strong learning abilities, they could already become outstanding talents through magic alone, without needing to resort to these roundabout methods.
"If possible, I'd like to open a recruitment channel and hire directly from the school. Those willing to participate would then undergo training in small classes either on campus or in Hogsmeade Village." This way, the pressure from the Board of Governors would be significantly reduced.
The nature of the matter would shift from establishing an adult teaching institution and interfering to a collaborative training initiative commissioned by the school to address graduate employment rates.
"It's April now, and this academic year ends completely in June. The seventh-year students will be graduating soon."
The O.W.L. exams were taken by fifth-year students. What sixth-year students would study was arranged by professors based on their exam results, with some advanced courses only open to students with sufficiently high scores.
In their seventh year, everyone basically started preparing for their future paths, each doing whatever they could to get ahead. Only a very small number of top students would continue to take the extremely difficult Ultimate Wizard Exam.
In Roger's memory, the seventh-year students were among the few who hadn't really experienced Virtual Reality. Most of them were busy scrambling for their future livelihoods, so they had no time for games. Even reading held little significance for them anymore.
Only a few top students and those who weren't worried about their futures came to play.
Dumbledore considered it for a moment and found the plan feasible.
However, if they proceeded this way, one issue would have to be addressed.
"What exactly does this job entail? And what's the salary?" This concerned the future prospects of his students, and Dumbledore couldn't let Roger mess around carelessly.
