The Wizard: Starting with Infinite Part-Time Jobs

"Forget it, I won't think about it anymore. I think I can still hold on." Quillins shook his head vigorously, shaking off those distracting thoughts.

"Let's go back together. Galatea isn't here, so don't swim back, it's not good for your health." Aiden frowned, pointing to the passage hidden in the weeds not far away.

He reached out and grabbed Quillins' arm, pulling hard. Quillins stumbled and was pulled inside by Aiden.

Although Aiden had no idea what the kid was doing and his health was deteriorating, he would do his best to take care of him.

Quillins had no choice but to comply, but he felt a warmth in his heart.

"Brother Aiden is such a good man," Quillins said softly, a grateful smile on his face.

……

An hour later, in Aiden's cabin.

He was sitting in a chair, his hands gripping the broken arrowhead tightly, examining it closely.

The arrowhead was rusty in color, with a hint of moss-like color on it. The moss clung to the arrowhead, making it look sticky.

"This arrow looks unremarkable except for its worn appearance, like it was picked up in the jungle. So how do I unlock its resolution?" Aiden muttered to himself, his mouth slightly agape.

He knew that the first stage of his career panel was self-taught.

You just need to find clues related to the profession and gradually understand those clues, and the profession will be unlocked over time.

"The profession of 'acrobatic' is also improved through the training I received from Mr. Ford and my fellow apprentices."

The "Carpentry Assistant" profession unlocks its resolution gradually as the wooden meditation chair ages.

"The [Spirit Apprentice] profession must be related to archers? I've never been an archer, but I know that the most basic elements of an archer are swinging the arm and drawing the bow." Aiden said, while demonstrating the famous arm swinging and bow drawing movements in the air.

"I've got it! This resolution is most likely related to the archers' training." Aiden suddenly showed an excited expression and slapped his thigh.

"But I have no arrows here, I'm penniless. I have to go to Bondi and borrow some." With that, Aiden took three steps at a time, pushed open the door, and ran towards Bondi's hut.

It took Aiden nearly half an hour to head back home.

With a puzzled look on Bondi's face, Aiden hurried away, carrying a large bundle of arrows and a bow.

Before leaving, Bondi looked at the somewhat excited Aiden, tilting his head as if he wanted to say something but didn't.

The two also chatted about their cultivation progress.

"Bondi's training has reached a critical juncture. He's already reached the 16000th color block, and he'll be able to memorize everything in about two months. However, I didn't see any signs of him awakening a rare talent in his expression, otherwise this outspoken guy would definitely have revealed it." Aiden thought to himself as he walked.

"The probability of this rare talent appearing is still too low." Aiden shook his head.

"I probably won't have any rare talents either. But I have a career panel, which gives me knowledge and more opportunities than rare talents," Aiden said, a slight smile playing on his lips.

He quickly removed the arrowheads from all the arrows he had brought using a small hammer.

He gathered the bare arrows together.

Aiden picked a powered arrow and inserted the broken arrowhead directly into it.

Click!

The arrow made a sound as it was installed into the groove.

"Hmm, this installation didn't increase the resolution. Looks like I need to practice archery." Aiden frowned and muttered to himself, then casually picked up his bow and arrows, grabbed the installed arrowheads, and went to his little garden.

Aiden drew his bow with all his might, the bowstring was pulled taut, and he shot the bow towards the ground.

The sound of mud being hit could be heard, and a small patch of mud splashed up.

Immediately afterwards, a line of transparent text appeared in front of me.

"Archer - Lin Ying Apprentice, Resolution (7%)".

The resolution has indeed increased.

Aiden's face lit up with surprise, and he fired several more arrows in quick succession, but they were all off target and ended up crookedly stuck in the ground.

"Archer - Lin Ying Apprentice, Resolution (8%)".

Seeing the resolution increase, Aiden was in high spirits, laughing heartily as he shot arrows.

"This is the main profession, unlike the support-oriented secondary professions. Once I unlock it, I will have a certain level of combat power."

Aiden said with a smile, his face full of happiness.

"However, after shooting several arrows, my arm is starting to ache. My physique is still too weak."

He quickly finished training for an afternoon until the resolution stopped changing, then returned to his room to practice meditation.

……

A few days later.

Aiden was reviewing the color blocks of his previous memories inside the meditation pod when a strange feeling arose within him.

I could feel that the air outside had changed, and there seemed to be a mysterious atmosphere around me.

A faint buzzing sound came to my ears, along with the sound of the ocean.

The sound seemed to come from a very far place, yet it was clearly audible.

"Am I hallucinating?" Aiden frowned, opened his eyes, and climbed out of the meditation pod.

He heard shouts from the wizard apprentices outside, so he quickly left the hut and looked outside.

Deeper into the Forbidden Forest Basin, the previously calm sky suddenly seemed to be torn apart by an invisible hand, and a hideous crack appeared out of nowhere.

Around the crack, pitch-black, broken, and indescribable illusory fragments surged wildly, like countless black butterflies dancing madly, distorting the surrounding light.

An invisible gale swept through the entire Forbidden Forest Basin, causing the flowers, grasses, and trees to be tossed about in all directions, their branches and leaves swaying wildly, and some fragile branches even snapping off.

"Holy shit." Aiden's eyes widened like saucers, and he stood there dumbfounded.

"The heavens have split open?!" Looking at the scene before him, which seemed like something out of a science fiction movie, Aiden felt his head buzz and his perception was completely overturned. His hands clenched involuntarily.

Bondi rushed over in a panic.

His face was flushed, and veins bulged on his forehead as he shouted at Aiden, "Spatial passage, wizard ship, the wizard ship is coming!"

As he spoke, Bondi waved his hands wildly in the air, as if that would make him more excited.

Aiden was taken aback, his mouth slightly agape as if he had a fishbone stuck in his throat. After a long while, he muttered to himself, "So that's how it is. A spatial passage. This wizard ship hasn't even appeared yet, and there's already this kind of commotion."

Just how powerful is the Wizarding World?

He felt as if all his strength had been drained from his body.

I felt smaller than ever before, my legs went weak, and I almost collapsed to the ground.

Aiden was somewhat frightened, his body trembling slightly, yet also filled with longing, wanting to get closer to the crack.
