The Wizard: Starting as a Corpse Burial Man - An Infinite Side Hustle

Ansu had met the other party when she first came to the alchemy workshop.

However, the other party's talent in occultism is not particularly strong.

Despite receiving the Ether Probing Alchemy Pigment from senior student Belles, he was unable to gain the ability to perceive ether.

Therefore.

Bells sent the other party to the Gravekeeper Knights.

He also stated that as long as more occult knowledge could be derived from the Knights' "Death Breathing Technique," thereby enhancing its mystical attributes.

Then, through the [Ether Probing Alchemy Pigment], you gain the ability to probe for ether.

Then you can return to the alchemy workshop and learn about alchemy pigments with the other burial workers.

However, Bells gave a one-month deadline.

Even though there was still plenty of time before the one-month deadline, they arrived at the alchemy workshop so quickly.

They must have gained the ability to sense ether particles.

Thinking about this, Ansu confirmed one thing:

The other person is a genius.

A genius who successfully deduced a new type of occult knowledge in less than half a month.

He was fiddling with alchemy tools, and didn't seem completely unfamiliar with them.

Perhaps after deduceing the relevant knowledge, they received the corresponding knowledge and guidance from Sandru or Bales.

Ansu vaguely felt that the other party might be an obstacle to her obtaining the formula for high-concentration ether alchemical pigments and the hearing attendance certificate.

However, he did not intend to relinquish first place in this test so easily.

Only by obtaining an auditing pass from the wizarding academy.

Only then could I gain the ability to create extraordinary paintings using a variety of alchemical pigments.

Perhaps you can even unlock a new profession.

They will also receive more assistance when the formal entrance exam for the wizarding academy arrives.

Ansu needs to acquire as many skills as possible during this period in preparation for passing the entrance examination.

Otherwise, Sandru, who had invested so much in me, would surely have taken away my body and soul.

Then put it back into the laboratory.

This puts Ansu in a situation even worse than death or becoming a living corpse.

Just as Ansu was pondering whether there were any other rivals in this alchemy workshop.

A series of footsteps sounded.

An elderly man dressed in a black robe and with a hunched back walked into the alchemy workshop.

The other party was the owner of this alchemy workshop, the wizard Sandru.

For some reason, the other person's expression had taken on a sinister air.

The moment I entered the alchemy workshop, the surroundings fell into a deathly silence.

Sandru didn't care and spoke directly:

"The entrance exam for the Wizarding Academy will be held ten days in advance."

In other words, your preparation time will be shortened by ten days.

Ten days?

Ansu frowned slightly as she listened to Sandru's words.

For ordinary people, ten days is not enough time to accomplish much.

But Ansu was able to gain one or two professional skills from it.

And several free attribute points.

A new alchemical pigment formula, along with corresponding mystical attribute enhancements.

Even if no extra tasks are done.

Simply practicing the "Death Breathing Technique" and waiting for the free attribute points from the "Gravekeeper's Oath" can significantly improve one's attributes.

at the same time.

The other people who buried the body also showed expressions of surprise, panic, inquiry, and doubt.

But Sandru did not offer an explanation.

After all, he knew that too.

All that is known is that the new dimension locked by the academy has made new progress, which is most likely related to the upcoming next interdimensional war.

However, the specific reason is unknown.

"Therefore, I'm going to adjust the rewards for this test."

As he spoke, Sandru took out a crystal-clear, prismatic crystal from his robe.

"Add this resource to the prize for the first place winner in this test."

The moment Ansu saw the prismatic crystal, he immediately sensed the large number of ether particles contained within it.

It is even a thousand times more concentrated than the ether particles in the surrounding air.

But Ansu could vaguely sense that there was a difference between the ether particles in this case and normal ether particles.

However, it cannot be detected in a short time.

After a moment, Sandru took out a crystal containing a rich amount of ether and continued:

"This is one of the achievements of my laboratory."

However, it is not exactly the same as ordinary ether crystals.

The ether contained therein is not in a superposition of existence and non-existence.

It truly exists even for those who have absolutely no talent for mysticism.

Therefore, even if one has not mastered the "Ether Meditation Method", even if one's aptitude for mysticism is less than 0.5.

Given enough time, and with the help of breathing techniques.

This etheric crystal can then be used to enhance one's mystical talents.

As for the specific increase...

Sandru calculated for a moment, and then arrived at the answer:

"Depending on the level of proficiency in breathing techniques."

It can generally increase the Mystic attribute by 7 to 10 points.

"10 o'clock?"

Upon hearing Sandru's account, Ansu was immediately taken aback.

After all, even though Ansu dug up so many corpses.

Having held so many jobs, he also developed several new types of pigment formulas.

The occult attribute, representing mystical talent, only reached close to 10 points.

He hadn't expected that Sandru would be willing to offer such valuable resources for just one test.

Unlike ordinary people who bury corpses.

I have the bonus effect of [Secondary Class - Mystic Transcendent] on [Main Class - Gravekeeper].

By using the "Death Breathing Technique," the effect of increasing attributes will be multiplied by 1.5 times.

In this way, as long as one's proficiency in the breathing technique is high enough, it is possible to achieve this.

I can then use the Ether Crystal to gain 15 points of Mystic attribute.

An Su thought to herself.

The value of this ether crystal is not only for the many people who bury the dead.

It was also extremely precious to Sandru.

Even considering only its value.

It was still there, along with the auditing certificate from the wizarding academy, the alchemical pigment formula with an ether concentration of 15, and the corresponding materials.

The last time the college started its entrance exams ahead of schedule.

It was hundreds of years ago, when a plane with four-digit deities was discovered.

Thousands upon thousands of Star Wizards thus advanced to Blood Moon Wizards.

This time, the assessment was conducted ahead of schedule without any warning.

They must have discovered some high-value natives or resources in this new dimension.

It might even be a dimension with its own special rules.

That is precisely why.

Sandru was willing to accept this ether crystal as an additional test reward.

Even if we can't restore all the laboratory resources by then.

He can also use the apprentices he trains to collect more new types of resources, knowledge, and even experimental subjects in the new dimension.

Thinking of this, Sandru glanced at everyone present.

He then took a closer look at Tistu, Anzu, and Hetok, the burial man who had returned to the alchemy workshop from the Knights of Faith.

Sandru believed that the winner of this test would definitely be one of these three.

As for the mortal's talent for alchemical pigments... Sandro has also investigated that.

Not high.

Forget about getting the highest rating in the wizarding academy's entrance exam; they might not even pass the exam itself.

However, even if someone fails to pass, Sandru can reclaim the body and soul of the person who failed, thus making up for his investment losses.

Sandru then said no more and immediately announced the contents of the talent test.
