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

Ansu noticed the centaur Novak's gaze and sensed that the other party didn't particularly like the eavesdroppers.

At the same time, one could vaguely guess that if the test was not passed, the student would not be able to continue taking the course.

"Isn't it said that only elves hate beings with a base lifespan of at least 1000 years?"

Can centaurs really live that long?

Ansu was somewhat puzzled.

A moment later, he realized that it might be because he was an unexpected eavesdropper that the concentration of ether contained in the extraordinary knowledge had decreased.

That's why the other party showed this attitude.

However, the specific testing standards have not yet been announced.

But given my ability to consistently gain proficiency, I should be able to pass the test.

With this in mind, Ansu began to use the many different types of alchemical pigments that were placed nearby.

While recalling the relevant knowledge he had previously acquired, he used various types of alchemical pigments on the blank canvas.

At the same time, his proficiency in [Knowledge - Painting-type Spell Scroll Drawing] also increased.

Moreover, the efficiency gained is far greater than that of listening to the centaur Novak.

Before long, his proficiency level reached Lv.1.

At the same time, a series of messages reappeared on the panel.

[The job requirements for 'Main Class - Spell Scroll Builder (Painting Specialization)' have been met.]

[Will you start work immediately?]

"Confirmed employment."

Ansu silently recited in her heart.

[Acquire profession - Spell Scroll Builder (Painting Specialization)]

[Mental Strength +1, Mysticism +1]

Soon after, the occupation information appeared in the occupation column.

Along with it, a new entry related to it also appeared.

[Obtain the entry - Painting Inspiration (Blue)]

Effect 1: Enhances the talent for creating painting-type spell scrolls.

You can sense the compatibility between the various alchemical pigments, and whether they are compatible with other alchemical pigments you already possess.

When viewing other painting-style spell scrolls, you can vaguely sense some of the drawing techniques.

And it can also increase proficiency slightly.

[Effect 2: Increases the proficiency level of 'Knowledge - Painting-type Spell Scroll Drawing', and 'Effect 1' will receive an additional enhancement.]

(There is no limit to the number of times the enhancement effect can be used.)

[A main class - Spell Scroll Builder (Painting Specialization) has been detected]

[Secondary Profession - Mystic Transcendent] is now activated.

[The bonus effect is building up...]

The instant the entry is formed.

Ansu immediately had a series of inspirations related to painting-type spell scrolls.

It wasn't much, but Ansu could still sense the potential of this ability.

"As long as the proficiency level of knowledge increases, the effect of the entry will also be enhanced."

I can then create higher-rated painting-type spell scrolls.

Moreover, as long as I keep practicing with Shadow Dragon, our proficiency will inevitably increase.

Until quantitative change leads to qualitative change.

Ansu thought to herself.

Next, I began to try to capture these inspirations and prepare to apply them to the painting-style spell scroll that I was drawing.

Soon, amidst a series of notification sounds indicating increased proficiency.

Several new lines of characters appeared on the panel.

The bonus effects of the "Secondary Profession - Mystic Transcendent" have been fully realized.

[Main Class - Spell Scroll Builder (Painting Specialization)]

[Bonus Effect 1: Increases the efficiency of 'Knowledge - Painting-type Spell Scroll Drawing' proficiency by 1.5]

[Bonus Effect 2: When drawing and using painting-type spell scrolls, the bonus effect generated by the Mystic attribute is increased by 1.5]

"It's also a skill that can be developed."

Ansu made a judgment.

The higher the mystery attribute, the stronger the effect it can exert.

And my efficiency in gaining proficiency in [Knowledge - Painting-type Spell Scroll Drawing] was also improved.

With the mutual reinforcement between the mysterious attribute and this knowledge, the efficiency improvement can accelerate rapidly, like a snowball rolling downhill.

But before that... let's pass the centaur wizard's test first.

With that thought in mind, Ansu put away the panel.

He then continued to capture the many inspirations in his mind and apply them to the creation of his paintings.

With continued drawing, my proficiency in [Knowledge - Artwork-type Spell Scroll Drawing] has increased significantly.

The overall quality of the painting was also enhanced accordingly.

Once the painting was completed, the proficiency level of [Knowledge - Painting-type Spell Scroll Drawing] reached Lv.2.

The mysterious attribute also received an additional 0.3 boost.

However, Ansu did not use the additional mystical attributes to enhance the painting, and continued to add new paint to it.

"If you add unnecessary details, there is a high probability that it will have the opposite effect."

This painting alone not only summons paint golems, but also possesses special abilities.

That's enough to pass the centaur wizard Novak's test this time.

Ansu pondered for a moment, then sensed her own mysterious attribute and the additional inspiration related to painting-type spell scrolls that came with the enhancement of the mysterious attribute.

I didn't have as much inspiration as when I first obtained the entry or the first time I received a secondary profession bonus.

"What a pity."

It's no longer possible to immediately increase the Mystic attribute by 0.3 simply by drawing a picture, as it was before.

However, you can accumulate knowledge proficiency and the spiritual light brought by the improvement of mysterious attributes multiple times later.

Then apply it to draw new painting-type spell scrolls.

After that, when the corresponding painting is completed, it will bring more mysterious attribute enhancements.

When it is loaded onto the easel on the floating island in the soul space, the resulting undead minions will certainly be stronger.

Ansu wanted to immediately transfer the painting into the soul space and then load it under the second easel.

However, the centaur wizard Novak was still there, and he was within Novak's line of sight and soul perception.

Therefore, to avoid arousing suspicion, Ansu did not immediately transfer the newly drawn painting-shaped spell scroll to the soul space.

Instead, they planned to wait until the course ended.

When you leave the college's teaching area and return to the dormitory area, try to do the corresponding things again.

After confirming that the proportions and distribution of the various alchemical pigments on the painting were correct and that the pigments would be used to their fullest potential, Ansu put down his brush.

Then, while continuing to practice the "Death Breathing Technique," he conceived a new alchemical pigment formula in his mind.

This will allow it to have a stronger effect when drawing new painting-type spell scrolls in the future.

Several tens of minutes passed in the blink of an eye.

The two-hour drawing time stipulated by the centaur wizard Novak also came to an end.

"As I said before."

The test question was about this octopus-shaped paint puppet.

Each time an octopus's tentacle is severed by a spell attached to a painting-type spell scroll, it counts as 1 point.

A score of 4 is considered passing the test and will earn you alchemical pigments related to summoning paintings.

Achieving a score of 7 or higher will earn you additional resource rewards.

However, the corresponding painting-type spell scroll cannot be activated by oneself; it must be placed on a specific easel.

A spell that activates the pigments contained within a painting using an easel.
