The Wizard: Starting with Infinite Part-Time Jobs

Aiden breathed a sigh of relief when he realized that Aiden meant no harm, and was somewhat tempted.

God knows how uncomfortable it would be for a modern person to travel to a place without cell phones or the internet.

Moreover, he was just an orphan, helpless and alone, a refugee on the mainland, without any background or bloodline. For him to live a life that transcended social classes was as difficult as climbing to heaven.

If there's a possibility of change, he's willing to try.

Moreover, he has a unique advantage: the professional skill panel he brought with him when he transmigrated, which he can learn without a teacher.

Aiden had a thought, and lines of data appeared in his mind.

[Name: Aiden]

Main profession: None

[Secondary Job (1/∞): Acrobat ★ (27%)]

[Profession Limit Break Value: 1]

……

【acrobat】

【Job Level: ★】

Mastery level: 27%

[Core competencies: Basic animal behavior, encyclopedia of continental biology, simple prop making, on the self-cultivation of an actor, facial expression management...]

[Advanced Path: Black Market Beastmaster ★★]

"As long as I train, I can gain mastery and improve my core abilities; I won't waste my time."

"In just six months as an acrobat, I improved my mastery by 27% and became a mainstay of the show."

"If I could become a beastmaster in the future, I'd probably be even more powerful."

"As for this job limit breaking value, I don't know how to use it yet, probably because my main job is vacant."

"I need to explore more professions to unlock more possibilities."

"This 'wizard' is most likely a profession, and a respected one at that. I can't afford to miss out."

"If this profession can extend one's lifespan, then I've hit the jackpot."

Aiden kept calculating in his mind.

After taking a few deep breaths, Aiden made up his mind and smiled with relief, "Mr. Ford, I am willing to accept the challenge and become a wizard."

As for whether the "Forbidden Forest" was dangerous or how difficult it was to be a wizard, Aiden did not ask.

He needs to win more favor with Mr. Ford.

Unwavering courage is one of the few assets young people possess.

Mr. Ford opened his eyes, his gaze revealing approval, and said, "Brave child, I think Winnie will be very happy."

Aiden was taken aback, then exclaimed with delight, "Senior Sister Winnie? So she went to become a wizard?"

Winnie was a star performer at the Nightow Circus and a friend of Aiden's.

Both were born as orphans, yet they were extremely kind.

This is a very rare quality among the members of the acrobatic troupe, who lacked love from childhood and were generally selfish.

When Aiden first arrived, she took care of him, which helped him adapt to this completely new world.

Mr. Ford nodded and said, "Strictly speaking, Winnie is not a wizard. She is also in the Forbidden Forest, striving to become one."

"Her talent far surpasses yours. A trip to the wizarding world is within reach."

"If you and Winnie can both enter the wizarding world, I will receive a reward from the wizarding organization, and the curse on my body will be removed. It's a deal."

"Go back and pack your luggage first. We'll leave tomorrow."

"No problem, Mr. Ford."

Aiden left, closing the door behind him.

Having a familiar, kind person in the Forbidden Forest wasn't a bad thing for him; it made him feel much more at ease.

Watching the boy with the zongzi-shaped hair disappear into the distance, Mr. Ford coughed twice, raised his hand, inserted it into his remaining single eye, and twisted it twice.

click!

The eye was removed, and blood kept flowing down the eye socket, which was very creepy.

Most strangely, the one-eyed creature sprang from Mr. Ford's hand, landed on the table, and spoke in a human voice: "I've examined it, and this kid's talent is truly terrible."

"I don't know why you're so insistent on recommending these orphans as potential wizards; the number of spots is really limited."

"Many noble children on this continent possess considerable initial spiritual strength. Some even have the potential to become true wizards."

Mr. Ford paused for a moment before replying, "Probably statistics."

"I've done the math, and most of the most brilliant and legendary wizards in history were orphans."

"They have no family ties, and although they are lonely, they are more suited to pursuing the truth."

One-Eyed: "Are you kidding me?"

"Could it be that one of these orphans you've found is a legendary wizard?"

"Who knows?"

……

This is a boundless, pitch-black forest. The trees are not only extremely tall, but their branches are also twisted and crooked, like demons.

Aiden stood outside the forest, his legs trembling uncontrollably, forcibly suppressing the urge to shake.

"This is the Forbidden Forest. Stay close to me and don't get lost."

Mr. Ford, who was beside him, reminded him, and he hunched over and disappeared into the bushes.

Aiden followed closely behind.

This godforsaken place doesn't seem like a place for ordinary people. The occasional roars of beasts and the rustling of the wind made Aiden deeply aware of his own insignificance.

Sudden.

A pair of eerie green eyes appeared before them, staring intently at the two. The eyes were as large as fists, gleaming with a phosphorescent, cold light in the darkness.

Aiden couldn't see its face clearly, but he could feel a strong smell of blood hitting him.

This was a beast with an extremely strong bloodlust; he clenched his fists in tension. His throat tightened, making even swallowing difficult.

"Cough cough."

Mr. Ford's voice came from beside me, tinged with a hint of nonchalance.

The next second, the unknown beast vanished, followed by the sound of many branches snapping, as if it had fled in terror.

Aiden: "..."

Mr. Ford explained, "Beasts always have a much more acute sense of smell than humans. Wizards always carry the scents of various creatures."

"You know, wizards like living things. These wild animals are natural experimental subjects."

"Even though I haven't conducted live experiments for many years, they are still afraid of me."

"I see." Aiden had learned a lesson.

On the way there, Mr. Ford had told him about what kind of group wizards were.

"Cold, ruthless, paranoid, insane."

"They are a group of fanatics with an extreme thirst for knowledge."

a few days later.

Aiden and Mr. Ford arrived at the center of the Forbidden Forest.

This is a basin, bottomless, and the roars of wild beasts have long since disappeared, making it seem like a forbidden zone for creatures.

"Stand on this rock, press the stone button, and in fifteen minutes you will reach the bottom."

Mr. Ford pointed to the inconspicuous slab of rock next to him and gave instructions.

Aiden responded and went over to take a look, but he didn't see any connecting objects like ropes.

"Is this... this rock moving downwards by itself? Like an elevator without a ceiling?"

"The life of a wizard has traces of technology."

Aiden's heart skipped a beat.

"Mr. Ford, is there anything else you'd like to say?"

Aiden turned to look at the one-eyed old man.

"Remember the information I've given you these past few days. You and Winnie need to look after each other."

"These are 20 magic stones and one meditation stone fragment."

"The former is for daily expenses, and the latter is an extra gift from me to you; it can improve your meditation efficiency."

"If you do not become a formal apprentice before the magic stones are exhausted, our cooperation will be terminated."

Aiden nodded and said, "I understand, Mr. Ford."

Equivalent exchange is a truth in the wizarding world, as Mr. Ford repeatedly emphasized when he arrived.

"Good luck, child."

Mr. Ford waved his hand and disappeared silently into the forest.
