Wizard: My career panel has no upper limit

Chapter 7 Bodybuilding Career Linkage
The next morning, it was still dark.

Ron was sleeping soundly when he was awakened by a series of knocks on the door, which were not very strong but extremely rapid.

He woke up almost immediately - this was a conditioned reflex developed at Ralph Manor. After all, no one knew when his father would suddenly visit.

"Ron, are you up?" Andre's slightly hoarse voice came through the door.

He was about to respond, but he heard the other party continue in a low voice:

"Don't make any noise. That madman next door, Darend, has been studying sonic magic. If you make too much noise, it will disturb him."

When Ron quietly opened the door, he found that Andre was in a very bad condition.

His Royal Highness, who always paid attention to his appearance, now had messy hair and bloodshot eyes. Even his usually neat apprentice robe was stained with a few burnt marks.

"Your Highness, what are you doing?"

"Shh." Andre stretched out his hand to stop his questioning and signaled the two to leave the dormitory area first.

Only after walking a distance did Andre let out a sigh of relief:

"Don't mention it. Something unexpected happened last night while I was researching enchantment."

He took out the magic stone fragment and gestured:
"It cost me ten shards to blast a hole in the wall next door and repair the rune. If I hadn't reacted quickly, it would have been sent to the lab as material by now."

Ron understood the underlying meaning - in the Black Mist Jungle, any form of "accident" could be a reason for wizards to requisition experimental materials.

Andre took out a wrinkled notebook from his pocket and flipped through it quickly:

"But this incident reminds me that the location is very important when using burning essential oil for the first time."

He looked up at the sky and said, "The sun is just about to rise, it's the best time to train your body."

The two walked along a secluded path.

The chill of the early morning was mixed with a faint stench of decay, a smell unique to the black fog jungle.

When passing by a colony of fluorescent bacteria, Andre deliberately slowed down his pace:
"These are marks left by pathfinders. They fade in the sunlight, so wizards use them to guide the way."

Ten minutes later, the two came to an open space.

Several broken stone pillars stood crookedly, with some unclear runes engraved on the top.

Andre patted the nearest stone pillar, stirring up a cloud of dust.
"The Black Mist Jungle isn't very big, so there are often abandoned experimental sites by wizards. Generally, no monsters or aberrations dare to approach such places, so they are relatively safe."

In the morning light, the runes occasionally flashed a faint light.

"Although those runes are broken, they can still block the fluctuations of magical energy."

He squatted down and carefully examined the ground. "I don't know how many experimental subjects died back then. The floor tiles have been dyed this color by various energies."

Ron noticed that the ground was indeed an eerie bluish-grey color.

Those colors were not painted on, but seeped out from the inside, as if the floor tiles themselves carried some kind of curse.

"But because of this, this has become a safe place for us."

Andre stood up and dusted his hands. He motioned for Ron to sit on the gray stone platform in the middle. "Take off all your clothes, leaving only your boxers."

"what?"

Ron was stunned for a moment, and the early morning chill made him subconsciously wrap his clothes tighter.

Did I hear it wrong? When I was in the kingdom before, I never heard that the Thirteenth Prince had gay hobbies?

"Don't think too much." Andre rolled his eyes.
"I'm not one of those perverted instructors who likes to attack pretty boys. The burning oil needs to be applied directly to the skin, especially some important ones."

He suddenly paused, as if weighing his words. "According to wizards, they should be called acupuncture points." "Is this knowledge passed down from another world?"

Ron asked as he unbuttoned his shirt.

A lot of the mystical knowledge here has extremely complex origins. The main reason is that wizards are particularly fond of absorbing extraordinary knowledge and cultivation systems from other worlds.

"I don't know." Andre shook his head.
"Our royal texts say this breathing technique is a revelation from the Sun God. However, I think it's better to focus on the important matter at hand than to dwell on its origin."

He opened his notebook and carefully checked something:
"According to records, the first step in bodybuilding should be to focus on the heart, spine, and limb joints. The order is crucial, and even the slightest mistake will be a problem."

At this moment, a prompt suddenly popped up on the panel:
[Detected to be in use - Extraordinary Item - Burning Essential Oil
After using it, you will start the first bodybuilding process and enter the combat profession - Knight Squire's job transition process.

【Combat Occupation-Knight Squire (1 Star)
After job change:
1. Attribute growth:

2. Complete a breathing exercise]

[Warning: Your first physical forging will determine the basic attributes of the Knight class]

[Tip: The Potion Apprentice class has been detected, which can trigger class linkage and gain additional benefits]

"As expected, there is a professional linkage." Ron lowered his head and smiled.

This linkage bonus effect is the most attractive part of the game.

Players are willing to spend a lot of time and money just to find the perfect career combination.

And now I have unlimited career slots, what does this mean?
The attribute superposition, skill complementarity, and growth bonus between different extraordinary professions will become his exclusive advantages.

In the original game, players could only have three professions at the same time, but now his potential is unlimited.

As long as he is given enough time, he can maximize the effect of this professional linkage and build a perfect growth system.

This may be his greatest reliance in this dangerous world.

Ron finished his thoughts and glanced at Andre, who was concentrating on studying his notes, seemingly confirming every detail.

This caution reminded him of the accident last night that "almost blew up the dormitory."

In this dangerous world, any small mistake can be fatal.

"Okay." Andre finally closed the notebook:

"I need you to pay close attention to everything I say next. During the application of the essential oils, you may experience a strong burning sensation and even hallucinations."

His voice suddenly became extremely serious:

"No matter what happens, don't struggle or move. Once the essential oil penetrates your body, it will begin to affect your tendons. This process must be completed, otherwise..."

Ron nodded. He could feel the seriousness in Andre's words.

This is not just a simple physical training, but an important decision that will determine his future path.

"Just in case you're not prepared, I'm telling you I'm about to start."

Andre picked up the bottle of burning essential oil and poured some into his palm.

Ron noticed that the pale golden liquid began to emit a strange light and a faint smell of sulfur the moment it came into contact with the air.
