The Wizard: Starting with Infinite Part-Time Jobs

Aiden smiled and said, "Although the payment was already agreed upon, I still want to give you more."

"Thank you so much, Brother Aiden, you're so kind to me." Rock's eyes welled up with tears.

He took the magic stone with both hands, holding it tightly in his hands, his body trembling with excitement.

"You've already called me brother, so saying these things is too formal." Aiden smiled and patted Rock on the shoulder.

Rock hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth as if he had made a great decision, and handed the bow and arrow back to Aiden, but kept the bowstring made of Green Forest Python sinew for himself.

He said earnestly, "Brother Aiden, I'll give you this Green Shadow Bow as a keepsake. As for the Green Forest Python Sinew Bowstring, I'll keep it."

Aiden remained silent for a moment, then lowered his head, looking at the bow and arrow in his hand, feeling conflicted.

He definitely needed a bow and arrow; it would be a lie to say he wasn't envious of Rock's bow!

Rockken had been so generous in gifting him the bow; he had to remember that kindness. He accepted the Green Shadow Bow with both hands. "Thank you very much. I will take good care of it."

Aiden said seriously.

"By the way, the wizard ship is arriving tomorrow, so you should make some preparations." Aiden smiled, waved to him, then turned and left.

Upon hearing the news, Rock hurriedly ran back into the house to start tidying up.

As he packed, he muttered to himself, "With the magic stone Aiden gave me, I feel much more confident. At the very least, even if I get to the wizarding world, I won't be so strapped for cash for the first few years. Brother Aiden, you're such a good person."

……

For the next half day, Aiden was busy in Ms. Ollie's laboratory, standing guard until the very end.

He hired a new assistant.

He had hired this assistant a few days ago to ensure the continuation of the organisms in Ms. Ollie's laboratory.

"Work hard, and you'll get four magic stones a month," Aiden said earnestly to the fair-skinned witch in front of him.

This witch's name was Deline, and she was also a commoner witch. She was the second person after Aiden to become a formal wizarding apprentice with a commoner background.

She lowered her head, her hands clasped in front of her, her face flushed with shyness.

Deline's ambitions differed from Aiden's; she wanted to stay in the Forbidden Forest Basin for a few more years to reflect before venturing into the wizarding world.

She wants to earn some money before heading to the wizarding world!

"No problem, Lady Aiden," Delin nodded respectfully.

She thought she was hardworking and diligent enough, but she never expected that Aiden would become a formal wizard apprentice even earlier than her.

Only she knew how disadvantageous it was for a commoner to cultivate alongside these nobles.

"No need to call me sir." Aiden smiled, then gave her instructions on some job duties and work processes, as well as some creatures with peculiar temperaments.

Aiden was somewhat reluctant to leave Ms. Ollie's laboratory.

……

In the middle of the night, the inner living area was deathly silent, broken only by the occasional chirping of insects.

Inside Aiden's hut, he sat in a chair, muttering to himself, "There's a lot to do today, but the most important thing is to get my hands on Mr. Ironbeard's experimental results. Little Butterfly, is that alright?"

After saying that, he tilted his head and stared intently at the spatial butterfly on his shoulder.

"Okay, Daddy," came Xiaodie's affirmative voice in Aiden's mind, a clear and melodious voice.

"Little Butterfly, have you grown a little bit?" Aiden squinted, carefully examining her slightly larger body, and gently touched it with his hand.

"I don't know either." Little Butterfly swayed her tiny body, and her tentacles moved along with it.

"Then you go ahead and get busy, I still have some things to do." With that, Aiden stood up, his movements somewhat hurried. He placed Xiaodie on the table.

He then quickly put on his night clothes, followed by a mask, leaving only his eyes exposed, which revealed a hint of ruthlessness.

"No regrets. That guy named Randolph won't live past tonight."

As Aiden spoke, he clenched his fist, then strode out, slamming the door shut behind him.

Randolph was the one who stopped him when he was moving Eddie Quellins' body, and Aiden had never forgotten that grudge.

……

Less than half an hour later, Aiden returned from outside, walking hurriedly.

He held the resources he had looted from Randolph's house in his hand, a smug look on his face.

"Randolph is quite resourceful. Three ash wands, 50 magic stones. I also saw a wizarding organization application form on his desk, so it seems he also planned to go to the wizarding world. It's a pity he can't go." Aiden said, tossing the items he was holding onto the table.

The table was already covered with Mr. Ironbeard's experimental reports, nearly 10 thick parchment scrolls.

Little Butterfly landed in front of Aiden as if to show off, and bounced twice on the table.

Aiden smiled and touched her tentacles, which were soft and smooth.

"Well done, Xiaodie."

"I really want to see Mr. Ironbeard get furious. This is the culmination of over a decade of hard work." Aiden's lips curled into a wicked grin.

These days, Mr. Ironbeard has been tormented by Aiden so much that he has completely stopped experimenting and is basically recuperating at home.

So even if the lab report is lost, he probably won't notice it for a while.

Aiden handed over everything he needed, along with the experimental reports, to Xiaodie.

Xiaodie opened her spatial pocket, and those things were immediately sucked in.

Aiden couldn't sleep all night, tossing and turning in bed.

He was extremely excited.

……

Early in the morning, an animal waiter knocked on Aiden's door, signaling him to gather at the boarding platform.

Aiden jolted awake, sat up in bed, quickly dressed, opened the door, and hurriedly left with the animal waiter.

Aiden followed the animal waiter to the boarding platform.

The so-called boarding platform is an extremely high platform, nearly 100 meters high.

The surrounding area was shrouded in mist, and the inner living area below could be vaguely seen.

Standing on it, you can get closer to the sky.

On the boarding platform, he saw Bondi, Galatea, Vera, Rock, and others.

Besides these people, there were about 50 formal wizard apprentices. Some of them were whispering to each other, while others were looking around. The scene was noisy.

Most of these people are veteran wizards; there aren't many new faces like Aiden who have just advanced and are already planning to go to the wizarding world.

Once on the boarding platform, Aiden felt the air around him thin and it became difficult to breathe.

He was getting closer to the crack in the sky. The wind howled and blew, making his hair messy and flying everywhere. He could barely keep his eyes open.

"Only by getting close can we know how powerful this spatial rift is," Aiden shouted at the top of his lungs, his voice shattered by the howling wind.

Bondi put his arm around Aiden's shoulder, yawned, and said with his mouth wide open, "I'm so excited, I haven't slept for two days."

"Me too, I didn't sleep for half the night," Aiden said with a smile, his face beaming with undisguised excitement.

Aiden also greeted Rock, patted him on the shoulder, and briefly introduced the impoverished nobleman to Bondi and Galatea.

Unexpectedly, the drug addict Vera took the initiative to strike up a conversation with Aiden.

She swayed her hips as she slowly approached Aiden, saying, "Commoner, is it possible for you to tell me how you control my poisonous insects? I'll offer you the resources to buy them."

Aiden shook his head, bobbing it like a rattle-drum, and said, "That won't do, haha."

"You really are a stingy little bastard, you commoner boy." Sera glared at Aiden, put her hands on her hips, and said angrily.

Aiden didn't care at all; he crossed his arms and smiled.

His beast-taming talent comes from his class panel, which is his biggest secret.

He would never reveal his secrets, no matter what they involved.

As everyone was chatting, the spatial passage in front of them suddenly stopped, and the surrounding air seemed to freeze.

Immediately afterwards, a wizard ship, just like the previous one, appeared, its sails billowing in the wind.

"It's still a wizard ship made of Void Vines. I have a bad feeling about this," Aiden muttered to himself.

"Aiden, what did you say?" Bondi asked, scratching his head, his hair all messed up.

Before Aiden could reply, he felt himself being pulled by a powerful force, his body being sucked upwards like a stretched noodle, completely out of control.
