The Wizard: Starting with Infinite Part-Time Jobs

"I'm here. It's so late, aren't you going to rest?" Rock came out of the house, still sleepy-eyed and unsteady on his feet. He rubbed his eyes as he walked out.

"I need to speak with you urgently. I wanted to ask if I could borrow your family heirloom bow and arrow, the green one," Aiden said hurriedly, his face beaming with smiles.

"But I won't lend it to you for nothing. How about one magic stone a day?" Aiden said after a moment of silence.

He didn't want to owe Rock a favor, so he looked at Rock after saying that.

Aiden wanted to use his vine arrows, but it was clearly difficult to do so with the Royal Hunting Bow.

He could only use a better quality bow and arrow, otherwise he would most likely be no match for that big man in black, Seram.

Rock was about to refuse, his mouth agape, about to speak, but seeing Aiden's smiling face and his sincere willingness to exchange magic stones, he hesitated.

He hesitated for a moment, then nodded. Only a fool wouldn't make money when he could.

Rock hasn't been training at the training ground for a long time.

Because, like other formal wizarding apprentices, he didn't earn many magic stones and had no resources to train.

Aiden is willing to trade magic stones for a bow, which is a form of income, especially since Aiden's offer is not low.

If he lends out his bow for a month, he can earn 30 magic stones!

"Alright, Brother Aiden, to be honest, I happen to be short of some magic stones." Rock scratched his head, a sheepish smile on his face, and continued, "I'll go get you the bow right now."

He quickly and nimbly returned to the hut, his steps light, and took out his bow and arrows.

Seeing Rock reluctantly hand over the bow and arrows, Aiden solemnly accepted them with both hands, gently stroking the bow with his fingers, and said earnestly, "Don't worry, Brother Rock, I will take good care of these bow and arrows, and they won't take you too long."

"I believe you, Aiden. This is a deal. You don't need to say all this," Rock said, shaking his head and forcing a smile.

He only regretted that he didn't have the means to make money.

Otherwise, why would his ancestral bow and arrows have been lent out in exchange for resources? Thinking of this, he sighed helplessly and slumped his shoulders.

"This is my ancestral bow and arrow, the Green Shadow Bow. It can increase the power of arrows by about 10% and the release speed by about 10%, and can withstand higher-intensity archery," Rock said earnestly.

"That's great!" Aiden said with a smile, waving his hands excitedly.

Aiden hesitated for a moment, feeling it still wasn't safe enough. He frowned, pursed his lips into a thin line, and continued to ask, "Brother Rock, let me put it this way: I used this bow to save my life. I want to know what other trump cards you have. I can trade them with you. Just name your price for whatever resources you want."

"Hey Aiden, are you in trouble?" Rock quickly realized what was going on, his eyes widening in surprise as he asked.

"Do you want me to help you?" Rock thought for a moment and then asked.

"Sigh, really, it's not necessary. The other party is likely just a mid-level wizard apprentice. You can't help me." Aiden shook his head.

Rock's eyes widened, and his mouth opened so wide it could fit an egg.

"A mid-level wizard apprentice? This one has practiced meditation. How many mid-level wizard apprentices are there in this Forbidden Forest Basin? They're either teachers or advanced wizard apprentices doing research in the experimental area."

Rock accidentally blurted it out, his voice trembling with surprise.

"I don't know either. I can only consider him a mid-level wizard apprentice. In any case, he's a very dangerous enemy," Aiden said.

Rock remained silent. If it meant certain death, he couldn't help Aiden.

"Wait a minute, if it's to save your life, I have a specially made bowstring here," Rock said.

Then, as if he had made up his mind, he turned around and quickly went back into the house.

Rock crouched down and rummaged under the bed for a while before finally pulling out a bowstring that was also green.

He held the bowstring with both hands, his movements as gentle as if he were holding a rare treasure, and carefully handed it to Aiden, his face showing reluctance. "Brother Aiden, this bowstring is an heirloom, made from the tendon of a Green Forest Python. It can also enhance the power of arrows, and I use it to save my life."

"Since you've encountered such a terrible disaster, there's nothing I can do to help you. That's all I can do."

"That's great, Brother Rock, I owe you a favor." Aiden grinned, a bright smile spreading across his face.

He reached into his pocket, rummaged around for a while, and pulled out two ash wood wands.

These are all spoils he accumulated after killing people.

Aiden handed it over with both hands: "Brother Rock, you should train your witchcraft well. This is your reward, otherwise I'll feel pressured. If you need anything in the future, just come to me."

Rock's eyes lit up instantly when he saw the two ash wood wands. Overjoyed, he took them with trembling hands.

Two ash wood wands are equivalent to 40 magic stones, which will last a long time!

"What good are ancestral heirlooms, no matter how good they are? I'm heading to the wizarding world now, but I'm penniless and have no special wizarding talent. Aiden's support is undoubtedly a godsend," Rock thought to himself.

"Then I won't stand on ceremony, Brother Aiden. I wish you all the best." Rock grinned, his face full of gratitude.

"Don't worry." Aiden smiled, patted Rock on the shoulder, and then turned and left.

Watching Aiden's departing figure, Rock's smile gradually faded, his expression becoming complex. He muttered to himself, "The Aiden brothers only took a few months to completely leave me behind. And remember, we took Mr. Woking's Wizarding General Knowledge course on the same day!"

……

Two days passed quickly.

The Forbidden Forest Basin was completely silent, broken only by the occasional chirping of insects.

The spatial passage in the Forbidden Forest Basin remained unchanged, and no wizard ship came to pick them up.

During this time, Aiden met up with Bondi and Galatea and the three exchanged some information briefly. However, Galatea quickly noticed that Aiden looked preoccupied.

She tilted her head, a look of confusion on her face, and asked softly, but Aiden simply shook his head and didn't tell her anything.

"Rock's ancestral bow and arrow and the tendons of this Green Forest Python are indeed quite good." Aiden sat at home, holding the bow and arrow in his hand, stroking it repeatedly.

"Still not safe enough." Aiden frowned, glanced at the bow and arrow in his hand with a troubled expression, then gritted his teeth and took out the mysterious broken arrowhead that had unlocked the "Archer" class.

He had been studying it these days and discovered that the arrowhead was much sharper than ordinary iron arrowheads.

He crouched down and carefully attached the mysterious arrowhead to a new arrow with both hands.

Looking at the arrowhead, Aiden muttered to himself, "It's a bit broken, but what if it has a miraculous effect? ​​This arrowhead is definitely not an ordinary object."

"Everything is ready, now it's time to train my arm strength."

Aiden stood up, stretched his limbs, and then resumed his arm strength training.

He has been training hard these past two days in order to increase his strength.

After all, he was about to head to the Wizarding World, and he would be extremely unwilling to perish here.

As night fell, the garden was pitch black, with only the rustling of leaves in the wind.

Suddenly, a noise came from the garden.

The sound of a branch snapping softly was especially clear in the quiet night.

This gave Aiden, who had been waiting in ambush, a boost of energy, and he immediately activated his bio-radar.

A dot of light, the same size as Seram, appeared on the radar and was tiptoeing toward his hut, taking each step carefully to avoid making too much noise.

Moreover, the brightness of this Seram spot was much greater than that of Henry's previous spot.

It was also brighter than that of a regular formal wizard apprentice.

"Damn it, they really came." Aiden took a deep breath, his facial muscles tense, and his hands clenched into fists. "This is my only chance. I've rehearsed this countless times in my mind these past two days. I've decided to strike first. No matter what, this Seram has already broken into my residence without my permission. In short, coming to me without knocking can't be anything good."

He said to the little butterfly on his shoulder, "Little butterfly, use the same trick as last time. Strike that person's legs outside and unleash your light blade."

The little butterfly sleeping on Aiden's shoulder was startled awake. It shook its head and nodded its antennae seriously.

It could sense Aiden's tension; the light on its body flickered and began to gather.

"The Light Blade and my Vine Arrows, combined, I refuse to believe I can't kill you." Aiden gritted his teeth, a fierce expression on his face.

He pulled a specially made arrow from the quiver, nocked it on the bow, and pulled hard, stretching the bowstring to its limit, making a "creaking" sound.

He then suddenly released his grip, and the vine arrow shot out like an arrow released from a bow.
