Wizard: My career panel has no upper limit

Chapter 39: "Sticky Toughness" Candidate Wizard Sequence
Ron could feel that the spell model had become unusually stable in his mental space.

The droplet-shaped energy structure no longer flickered like before, but maintained a constant shape, and the energy flow within it became more regular and coordinated.

When he opened his eyes, a ball of shimmering mucus had already condensed and formed at his fingertips, and it shot accurately towards the target stone without any additional control.

The slime solidified quickly the moment it hit the stone, fixing the stone firmly to the ground and making it unable to move at all.

The solidification speed and adhesion far exceeded any previous version he had cast.

[Slime Splash Experience +3]

[Current Progress: Slime Splash (Beginner 49/50)]

"Almost there..." Ron muttered to himself, secretly calculating how much more practice he needed to reach the proficient level: "One more time."

This time, he decided to try a further innovation.

Since the vibration frequency of mental power can affect the effect of spells, is it possible to combine this vibration with the rhythm of breathing?
Ron adjusted his breathing, allowing the fluctuations of his mental power to gradually coincide with the rhythm of his breathing method.

This is a brand new attempt to combine two seemingly unrelated techniques.

The vibration frequency of mental power changes with the rhythm of breathing.

There was some confusion at first, but soon a harmonious state of resonance was found.

Surprisingly, this combination worked remarkably well.

The mental power seemed to be given life, flowing spontaneously along the most ideal path, forming a spell model that was much more stable than before.

When the spell was released again, the amount of mucus increased significantly and the solidification speed was much faster.

Not only was the target stone fixed, but a small area of ​​ground around it was also firmly stuck, forming a small mucus trap area.

[Slime Splash Experience +1]

[Breakthrough! Slime Splash (Beginner 50/50) → Slime Splash (Proficient Max)]

[Additional properties acquired: Stickiness (increased mucus solidification speed and increased adhesion)]

With this breakthrough, Ron felt that the nature of the spell had changed.

What started out as a simple slime shooter has evolved into a much more powerful means of control.

Not only is the mucus more abundant, but it is also tougher in texture. Once solidified, it is almost impossible to destroy it with brute force at the same level.

The only pity is that the limit of this zero-ring spell is only this far. Perhaps after being promoted to a formal wizard, there will be a chance to combine it with other spells to expand its potential.

More importantly, he has now met all the conditions for changing his job to [Wizard Apprentice]!
【Mental strength reaches 2.0√】

【Proficiency in basic meditation techniques√】

【Master a spell with a certain level of proficiency√】

[Do you want to change your job to Wizard Apprentice immediately? ]

Ron said without hesitation: "Confirm the job transfer."

A powerful energy surged from deep within his body, sweeping through his entire body like a flood bursting through a dam.

This feeling was much stronger than the previous two job changes. The air in the entire room seemed to solidify, and the shadows cast on the wall by the moonlight outside the window became distorted.

Ron could clearly feel that some subtle changes were taking place in his connection with the world around him.

The magic that was once only passively perceived could now be actively controlled to a limited extent. It felt like going from a spectator who could only observe the world to an actual participant who could directly participate and influence the rules.

Every breath and every heartbeat resonates with the surrounding magic, forming an unprecedented state of harmony.

[Job transfer successful! 】

[Occupation obtained: Wizard Apprentice (one and a half stars)]

【Basic attribute improvement:
Spirit: 2.0 → 2.4 (+0.4)
Constitution: 1.4 → 1.5 (+0.1)
Magic: 0.4 → 0.7 (+0.3)

【Unlock professional skills:
1. Spell Construction (Beginner)
2. Mental Interference (Introduction)

【Special bonus:
1. The speed of acquiring spell skill experience points has increased slightly
2. The speed of mental strength improvement has increased slightly
3. Magic capacity and recovery speed slightly increased]

Judging from the data alone, the attribute improvement brought by the job change to [Wizard Apprentice] does not seem to be as good as the previous job change to [Knight Squire]. This seems to be somewhat inconsistent with the absolute crushing of knights by apprentices in the outside world.

But the attributes on the panel are not simply a stack of numbers. At least the mental power going from 2.0 to 2.4 has a much stronger intuitive effect than when the attribute was below 2.

This change is not just a simple improvement in data, but also a qualitative change in certain capabilities.

Ron felt that at this moment, he could undoubtedly sense the flow of magic power around him more clearly, and could even try to guide it according to his will.

The energy particles in the air of the room, which were invisible to the naked eye, now became clearly palpable.

He could also accurately locate the faint magic contained in certain materials on the wall.

[Professional linkage detected:

Wizard Apprentice + Knight Squire + Potions Apprentice
Get additional linkage bonus:
-
Potion potency increased slightly -
The coordination between mental strength and physical strength has increased slightly.

The combined effect of the three professions alone far exceeded Ron's expectations. He could feel that the various energies in his body were achieving an unprecedented state of harmony.

The accumulated bonus of mental power provided by the Potion Apprentice formed a perfect closed loop with the speed of the Wizard Apprentice's mental power improvement, greatly improving the efficiency of his meditation every time;

The physical enhancement of the knight squire provides a more stable foundation for casting spells, so that the release of spells will not be hindered by physical limitations.

Ron stood up and flexed his fingers.

"This is the bonus for changing to [Wizard Apprentice]..."

Even with such a small movement, he could feel the flow of energy in his body becoming smoother, and every slight muscle movement caused corresponding energy ripples.

By the way, the on-duty officer gave him a booklet before, but he has been so busy that he hasn't had time to read it yet.

Thinking of this, he pulled out the thin booklet from his backpack. It looked plain and inconspicuous at first glance, with only a few dozen pages and no decoration on the cover except the words "Must-Read for Elementary Apprentices".

However, when Ron turned the first page, he felt a faint fluctuation of magic - this booklet was cast with a simple anti-counterfeiting spell to ensure that only true apprentices could read its contents.

He sat down on the edge of the bed and began to read carefully in the dim moonlight outside the window and the flickering magic stone lamp.

The first few pages contained only the basic rules of the school: no fighting in public areas, no private use of laboratory equipment, no entry to certain areas without permission, etc. These were common sense that he had already known.

However, as I read deeper, the content of the booklet became increasingly fascinating.

The title "Item 4: Apprentice Promotion and Sequence Rules" immediately caught his attention.

Any novice apprentice who is able to be promoted to an intermediate apprentice within three years of qualification will automatically be assessed as having 'high potential' and be placed in the wizard candidate sequence.

"Those considered likely to become full-fledged wizards in the future will receive additional resources and special training opportunities."
