Wizard: My career panel has no upper limit

Chapter 6 [Potions Apprentice] A Leap from Nothing to Something

"What's wrong?" Andre noticed that he suddenly froze in place. "Is there something wrong?"

"Nothing." Ron took a deep breath and said to himself, "Job transfer confirmed."

The next moment, a strange energy surged out from his heart and spread throughout his body like a warm stream, making him feel as warm as if he was soaking in a hot spring.

As a "blank slate" with no previous career, even if it was just the most basic job, the leap from "nothing" to "something" still triggered earth-shaking changes in him.

The originally turbid magic power gradually became clear, just like mixed iron filings suddenly gained order after the appearance of a magnet.

His perception also underwent a subtle change.

Those magical elements floating in the air are no longer completely elusive. Although they are still vague, at least their existence can be vaguely felt.

The most obvious change occurred in his hands. The medicinal herbs, grass roots, and even the magic power floating in the air that he had touched had left a unique "mark" in his perception.

It's like a blind person suddenly gains the concept of color, and the world becomes rich and three-dimensional in his perception.

This level of perception is probably the embodiment of the so-called "every profession has its own expertise".

The mysterious feeling lasted for several seconds, and finally condensed along his blood vessels like water droplets, and finally settled around his heart, forming a vague "source point".

[Job transfer successful! 】

[Occupation Obtained: Potions Apprentice (1 Star)]

[Basic Attribute Improvement: Spirit + 0.3 Constitution + 0.1 Magic + 0.2]

【Unlock professional skills:
1. Potions Refining (Beginner's Guide)
2. Identification of Herbal Medicines (Introduction)

【Special bonus:
1. The speed of gaining experience points for skills related to potions has increased slightly
2. The speed of mental power accumulation increases slightly
3. Magic affinity slightly increased]

Ron closed his eyes and felt the changes in his body.

The originally vague mental fluctuations became clearer, just like a painting covered with a layer of gauze was suddenly unveiled.

And deep in his consciousness, there seemed to be a strange perception ability.

When he focused his attention on the burning essential oil on the table, he could vaguely sense the flow of energy contained in it.

"Huh?" Andre's voice suddenly rang out, "Your aura... seems different."

Ron opened his eyes and found Andre looking at him with a somewhat puzzled look.

"what happened?"

"I don't know why," Andre frowned, but he was not sure:
"I always feel that you have a special... temperament? Just like those senior apprentices who specialize in potions."

Ron's heart skipped a beat. This must be the change brought about by the job change. Not only did his stats improve, but his temperament also underwent some mysterious change. However, his expression remained expressionless.
"Maybe it's because I just prepared the potion and my mental strength has been tempered a bit."

He rubbed his temple casually and said perfunctorily: "I feel better than before."

Andre nodded doubtfully: "Yes, after all, this is your first time dealing with so many extraordinary materials, so it's normal to be a little affected."

"Speaking of which," Ron deliberately changed the subject, "how long does the effect of this burning essential oil last?"

"Generally speaking, it's about three days."

Andre yawned. "It's getting late. You can take a closer look at the manuscript I gave you when you have time. As for the specific details of body building, I'll teach you how to get started tomorrow."

Ron finally breathed a sigh of relief after the other party left.

He couldn't wait to try the current meditation effects, so he adjusted his posture and began to enter the meditation state according to the methods in "Basic Meditation Method".

As soon as he closed his eyes, he noticed a huge difference - the consciousness rune that originally took a long time to outline could now take shape in just a moment.

Furthermore, the rune's form was much more stable than before. What surprised him even more was that the spiritual power that was gathered was significantly more abundant than before.

It feels like you could only draw water with a flattened straw, but now you can scoop it with a spoon.

[Basic Meditation Experience + 1]

[Basic Meditation Experience + 1]

[Today's practice time has reached the limit, it is recommended to rest]

"This improvement..." Ron opened his eyes and looked at the data in front of him, feeling both surprised and nervous.

The difficulty of gaining experience through meditation is definitely much greater now than before. If you take a aptitude test, you might be able to get a higher star level.

Such a huge improvement was only because he successfully found a job in a profession that had little to do with combat.

"Looks like I need to be more careful." Ron said to himself:

"But fortunately, those wizards are quite kind to the candidate apprentices. As long as they follow the rules, they won't do anything to harm them. So there's no need to worry too much about being spied on by those in higher positions."

Everything happened too fast, and the changes almost overwhelmed him.

He felt that at this time, he especially needed to sort out the current situation and clarify his next plans and goals.

Ron stood up and picked up the various utensils scattered on the table.

The dark foggy jungle was extremely quiet in the middle of the night, and only some strange noises could be heard from afar.

He began to review the current situation in his mind:

First and foremost is the improvement in basic attributes brought about by changing job to [Potion Apprentice]:
Spirit 1.1 → 1.4

[Constitution 0.4→0.5]

[Magic 0.1→0.3]

Then there are two entry-level professional skills and three special bonuses.

"These improvements are not small, but they are still far from breaking through the standard line of junior apprentices." Ron said to himself.

Just as he was lost in thought, unconsciously fiddling with the "burning essential oil" sealed in the small bottle, a new prompt suddenly popped up on the panel in front of him:
[Hot essential oil detected, do you want to start using it? ]

[Tip: The first time you use it, you will unlock the job change to the Combat Class - Knight Squire★]

"I see."

Ron looked at the prompt on the panel and finally understood why Andre said he would teach him how to use it tomorrow - the number of times this body-building potion was used was particularly critical.

He carefully put away his notes and medicine bottle and prepared to go to bed early.

Tomorrow, not only will I start practicing the Coronal Breathing Method, but I will also go to the herbal medicine store to apply for the assistant position.

Just as he was packing up, he caught a glimpse of the book "Basics of Potions" on the bedside table.

Looking back now, perhaps my decision to choose the path of Potions was fate.

The attribute enhancements and special bonuses brought by the Potions Apprentice, as well as the various corresponding resources that can be obtained, will undoubtedly allow him to go further on both the wizard and knight paths.

"However, the most important thing right now is to conceal these improvements."

Ron lay on the creaky wooden bed and looked at the rough outline of the ceiling:

"At least we have to wait until we have enough strength to protect ourselves. That day shouldn't be too far away."
