Wizard: My career panel has no upper limit

Chapter 393 Sincerely for You
The airship slowly passed through the never-ending blood-red mist above the abyss.

The magic stabilizer inside the cabin emitted a rhythmic hum.

Ron sat by the window, his attention focused on the breathtakingly beautifully bound book on his lap.

—Higher-order radiation field theory and practice

This was a precious gift that Eve secretly slipped to him before he left.

The book cover is made of ancient dragon scales, each scale retaining its vitality from its lifetime and subtly changing color according to the reader's emotions.

The golden runes engraved on the surface are not mere decorations, but a true seal of knowledge.

Only those with sufficient mental strength can unlock its secrets.

As Ron's fingers lightly touched the cover, the dragon scales radiated warmth, as if recognizing his identity.

“Eve did this for the book,” he sighed softly, the scene of their farewell at the Emerald House last night flashing through his mind.

"Mentor, this is the clan's classic text on radiation field control."

The black-haired princess stood in the moonlight, her amethyst eyes filled with deep-seated worry:
"I know that I am not a formal wizard after all, and I cannot provide you with guidance on the issue of radiation fields."

But at least... at least I can find the best theoretical basis for you.

Ron still vividly remembers the look on her face when she bit her lower lip, her expression one of worry that her efforts would not be appreciated.

“And this.” Eve took a small crystal bottle from her sleeve:
"Although I couldn't memorize the recipe for this potion, my mother set up a knowledge seal on it."

However, I secretly took this bottle of finished potion using my privileged access.

As she spoke, the girl's voice was almost inaudible, and her cheeks were as red as ripe apples:

"If I'm discovered, my mother will lock me in the tower for a month, but if it can help you..."

That resolute willingness to bear the consequences for him gently touched Ron's heartstrings.

Through the crystal wall, one can see a silvery-blue liquid flowing inside, like liquid stars, each drop containing compressed essence of wisdom.

This bottle of potion is the "Mind Expansion Potion" that he has always wanted. The recipe requires a full two thousand contribution points to exchange for it.

Now he can get it for free without consuming that contribution point.

Eve was willing to bear Cassandra's potential wrath in order to help him.

Such selfless assistance is so precious in this wizarding world that values ​​rationality and self-preservation.

“She saw me as her only lifeline.” Ron sighed softly, stroking the pages of the book.

Although the girl's attachment was somewhat morbid, her devotion was genuine and pure.

He recalled Cassandra's parting words from a few days earlier:

"Don't betray her trust in you."

Did the other party foresee at that time that his daughter would try to steal the secret manual and magic potion for him?
The airship began its descent, and the roar of the engine switching modes outside the cabin interrupted his thoughts.

"Master, we're almost there," Ailan's voice came from the side.

The emerald green leaves sway gently, releasing a pleasant herbal fragrance.

Having witnessed the prosperity of the Central Lands, the tree spirits actually developed a greater sense of belonging to the observation station.

"Dale wants to go home too!" In the aquarium, the siren girl excitedly flapped her tail fin, splashing up sparkling water:

"The seawater at the observation station, although it has a slightly strange smell, is still much more comfortable than the artificial pond in the Central Land!"

Of course, what they cared about was not the observation station itself, but the workshop whose layout had remained largely unchanged since the Black Mist Jungle era.

This workshop felt rather oppressive because it was filled with experimental equipment.

For them, however, it is the most familiar and comforting place to live.

As the airship's gangway was lowered, the chaotic aura unique to the abyss swept over us.

"Welcome back, Instructor Ralph."

The receptionist was more respectful than before, her eyes filled with envy and awe.
"Your lecture in the Central Lands has generated a huge response, and the entire academic community is discussing your 'Abyss Simulation Device' theory."

“Thank you,” Ron replied simply, while directing Ailan and Dale to handle the large amount of equipment being moved from the airship’s cargo hold.

“Watch out for those crystal amplifiers,” he warned.
"If the vehicle is subjected to vibration during transportation, the internal resonant frequency may shift."

Ailan carefully wrapped each piece of precision equipment with vines, her movements as gentle as if she were handling a newborn seedling.

Dale was in charge of liquid materials that required special preservation conditions, and her affinity for water made these tasks much easier.

Just as they were busy loading, a hesitant girl's voice called from afar.

"Ralph Instructor"

A familiar voice made Ron look up and see Chloe walking towards him from the other end of the passage.

The blind girl still covered half of her face with black silk, but her concealed face was clearly turned toward him.

"Welcome back." Her voice was as soft as the night breeze.

"The observatory has lost much of its vitality while you've been away."

Chloe lowered her head slightly as she spoke, her fingers unconsciously stroking the "celestial sphere" crystal in her arms.

But at that moment, Ron's mind was filled with the equipment that needed to be installed, so he simply nodded politely in response.

"Thank you for your concern, Miss Chloe. I have some important equipment to take care of, so I'll take my leave now."

Watching his hurried departure, Chloe gave a bitter smile.
"As expected... this approach simply won't work; there are too many people trying to curry favor with him."

The blind girl stood there motionless for a long time, until the other person's figure completely disappeared into the depths of the passage.

………………

When the heavy bio-metal door sensed his presence and opened automatically, the familiar surroundings eased his nerves slightly.

"Welcome back, Researcher Ron."

Your departure time was 223 hours... We have performed regular cleaning and maintenance on your laboratory..."

The intelligent equipment on the wall, responsible for automatic maintenance, sensed his arrival and began to emit mechanical announcements.

The dormant biosensors awoke, emitting a warm, welcoming glow.

The various experimental organisms in the petri dish also began to come alive, as if celebrating the return of their owner.

"Ailan, help me redesign the layout of the laboratory."

He nodded to the tree spirit following behind him and began directing the installation of the equipment:
"These new devices require more sophisticated magic supply systems, and the issue of energy interference between them must also be considered."

The tree spirit's vines stretched out as if they were alive, precisely measuring every inch of space.

Her natural intuition allows her to perceive the most suitable energy flow paths, a talent that is invaluable when setting up complex environments.

“The adaptive alchemy table is here.” Ron pointed to a spot near the center.

"The mental energy amplifier requires a separate shielded area to prevent interference with other experiments."

Just as he was focused on these trivial yet important arrangements, a familiar fluctuation suddenly came from the depths of his consciousness.

The feeling was like a long-lost relative calling out to you, warm and urgent.

It's Nari.

Since returning to the Central Lands, his connection with his "mother" has become intermittent due to distance and environment.

Only the most basic safety checks can be performed; in-depth communication is not possible as it is at the observation station.

This made Nari, who was far away in the abyss, extremely anxious, and she would send more than a dozen messages of concern almost every day.

Now that we're back at the observatory, that connection immediately becomes clear and stable.

“Ailan, I need to make some private communications,” Ron instructed.

"Keep tidying up the equipment. Call me anytime if you have any problems."

He walked to the most private corner of the laboratory, where there was a soundproof pod specifically for deep meditation.

As the door closed and absolute silence descended, Ron immersed his consciousness into the deep connection with the demon sword.

No external medium is needed; the connection of consciousness is established instantly.

The next moment, Nari's enormous figure loomed into his field of vision.

"my darling!"

The excitement in his voice almost overflowed his consciousness.

Countless eyes of different sizes turned to him at the same time, their eyes filled with joy.

That pure joy was no different from that of a mother who had been separated for a long time seeing her child return from a long journey.

"Mom is going crazy missing you! Why did it take you so long to contact Mom?"
"Have those people from the Central Lands treated you badly? Mother will go and teach them a lesson right now!" Nari's emotions surged like a tidal wave, and her huge body thrashed excitedly in the deep sea.

The surrounding seawater began to boil because of her emotional turmoil, and countless abyssal creatures scattered in panic.

"Of course not, Mom," Ron quickly reassured her, his voice full of apology.

"The signal was indeed not very stable in the central region, and there was a lot of activity."

But I contacted you as soon as I got back to the observatory, didn't I?"

"Hmph!" Nari slyly rolled her smaller eyes:
"Mom knows you're busy, but...but Mom really misses you."

Her voice became aggrieved, and the enormous tentacles unconsciously stroked the substitute puppet in her arms:

"These past few days, all those annoying neighbors around here have been given a good scolding by my mother, and now the whole area is very quiet."

No one dared to disturb her, but no one kept Mom company except for your little clone.”

Through the connection of consciousness, Ron could clearly sense the enormous changes in Nari's surroundings.

The once chaotic and distorted deep-sea landscape now presents a surreal beauty.

Those menacing corals have been transformed into beautiful spiral structures, emitting a soft bioluminescence;

Strange abyssal plants are arranged neatly according to a certain pattern, forming living gardens.

The originally disordered chaotic energy has now become orderly.

Ron could see countless streams of energy flowing slowly in the sea like a galaxy.

They are no longer destructive, chaotic forces, but have been shaped into beautiful works of art by Nari's will.

"Mom, your territory has become so beautiful!" he exclaimed sincerely.
"This ability to transform chaos into order is simply an art."

Upon hearing the praise, Nari became visibly excited, all his eyes sparkling with pride:
"Right! Right! Mom has so much better self-control now than before!"

She began to enthusiastically demonstrate her new abilities.

She gently stroked a twisted layer of seabed rock, and the hard stone instantly began to flow, reshaping into an exquisite palace.

The palace walls are made of living crystal, and their colors change depending on the observer's mood.

"The baby's feedback to the mother makes the mother's rationality clearer, and her ability to control chaos also achieves a qualitative leap."

Nari's voice was full of gratitude:

"Now, Mom can not only freely change some of the rules of the surrounding environment, but also create stable channels for material transmission, and..."

She paused for a moment, her voice becoming mysterious:

"Mom can even temporarily rewrite the flow of time within a small area, you see, child."

Nari extended a tentacle and gently touched a group of bioluminescent jellyfish swimming by.

The next moment, time around these jellyfish began to slow down, and their every movement became extremely slow.

“This ability…” Ron held his breath, “is already close to manipulating the rules.”

“It’s all thanks to the children that these changes have happened,” Nari said gently, turning her attention to the substitute puppet in her arms.

"This little clone is growing rapidly too."

The puppet slowly opened its eyes, and those eyes shone with the same intelligent light as Ron's.

It waved its little hand at Ron, its movement conveying a wonderful sense of agility.

“Besides honing my physique every day under your control,” Nari said proudly.

"It also learned its mother's three abyssal languages, enabling it to communicate with the wise sea monsters."

Most interestingly, it also helped its mother tame a group of music jellyfish, which now play beautiful music for her every night.

As he spoke, the stand-in puppet made a light gesture.

Several jellyfish, as transparent as silk, swam by in the distance.

They swam slowly around Nari, their bodies emitting a clear, harmonious sound like wind chimes.

"Mom, I'm planning to apply to go down into the abyss again in a few days."

Ron stated his purpose directly:
"On the one hand, I wanted to visit you, and on the other hand, I have some important experiments that need to be conducted in the special environment of the abyss."

"Really?!" Nari's excitement almost burst through his consciousness; all his tentacles throbbed excitedly.

Are you going home?

Mom is going to prepare lots and lots of wonderful things! She's going to take out all the most precious treasures from her treasury to show you!

Her voice became urgent:

"When? Tomorrow? The day after? Mom will start preparing now! We want the whole territory to celebrate your return!"

“A week at most.” Ron’s voice softened, touched by her enthusiasm.

"I need to take care of some things at the observatory first, and then I'll come down to see you."

"And this time, I need to do a lot of experiments."

He explained in detail:

"According to the research records of an ancient alchemist, certain experimental projects are more effective in the abyss environment. Special time flow rates and energy concentrations can greatly increase the success rate."

Nari immediately became even more excited:

"Mom can provide you with the perfect experimental environment! Whatever conditions you want, we can provide them!"

“I plan to improve an ancient potion,” Ron began, outlining his plans:

"We're also considering extracting some of your blood samples to modify my slime."

Additionally, I'd like to see if I can activate more forms of the Demon Sword in the unique environment of the Abyss.

"Of course! All of them are fine!"

Nari agreed without hesitation:
"You can take any of Mom's blood! Besides, Mom knows a lot of ancient rituals, which might help your magic sword awaken more abilities!"

She paused for a moment, her voice becoming even gentler:

"Also, Mom is keeping the little robot you made last time safe for you."

It was damaged in the storm, but Mom has repaired and strengthened it with chaotic energy.

Now it can not only move freely in the abyss environment, but also possesses some special abilities.

These promises warmed Ron's heart.

Nari's care was so comprehensive that he considered almost everything Nari might need.

For the next half hour, Nari chattered on and on about her various experiences during this period:
How she tamed a group of grumpy manta rays with music, turning them into guardians of their territory;

She transformed plankton into luminous living decorations, turning the entire seabed into a dreamlike starry sky.

And how she established “friendly” relationships with the apostles in other regions.

By displaying overwhelming power, they dared not even dare to covet a shred of their territory, ensuring Ron's absolute safety during his visit.
“Child, do you know?” Nari suddenly said softly:
"Since you came into my life, I have finally understood what true feelings are."

In the long years before, Mom was just lost in a daze, without goals, without hope, simply existing instinctively.

Her voice became choked with emotion:

"But things are different now. Mom has you, someone she wants to protect, and something to strive for."

Even the modifications to these environments are intended to make you feel comfortable and happy when you visit.

This sincere expression of emotion touched Ron's heart.

Although the parent-child relationship between the two was established after many twists and turns and various calculations.

But at least at this point, Nari was certain of the authenticity of her feelings.

"Okay, Mom, I need to take care of some experimental preparations first."

The conversation had been going on for quite a while, so Ron had to quickly end this long-awaited exchange:

"We'll be able to see each other again in a week."

“Okay.” Nari nodded reluctantly.

"Mom will wait patiently. But remember, my child, whenever you need help, Mom will come right away!"

"Even in the main world, Mom can reach you through the power of chaos!"

She added earnestly:
"Although the price will be very high, I'm willing to do anything for you!"

The connection to consciousness slowly disconnected, and the meditation chamber returned to silence, with only the faint sounds of instruments being moved outside.
