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

[First battle ended; the goblin squad has been defeated.]

[Received 300 base points]

[Receive an extra 600 points]

"600 points?"

Ansu was somewhat surprised.

He had assumed that the extra points would not be higher than the base points, or at least not by much.

Unexpectedly, the extra points amounted to twice the basic points.

Although no specific evaluation criteria or rating information was displayed.

Judging from the points I got, I think my performance was pretty good.

An Su thought to herself.

I'm also very curious about the other examinees.

It's just a pity that I can't detect it.

At the same time, the points displayed on the screen increased by an additional 900 points.

The number of available alchemical materials has been increased.

However, along with the change in points, there was another additional prompt:

[Remaining preparation time: 1 hour 59 minutes 59 seconds]

[The second battle will begin immediately after the preparation time ends.]

Seeing this, Ansu once again browsed through the numerous available resources.

In this way, they searched for alchemical materials suitable for modifying giant beetles.

Meanwhile, outside the assessment venue.

In the observation area for the formal wizard examination.

Sandru and the centaur Novak, as before, observed the condition of each examinee through the crystal ball.

The goblin squad has relatively balanced abilities and can cooperate with each other.

Therefore, for most examiners, they can be considered extremely difficult opponents.

And in such a short period of time.

In Zone 10, approximately 5% of the examinees' modified insect-type magical creatures died at the hands of goblins.

These evaluators also lost their eligibility to conduct evaluations as a result.

Immediately afterwards, Sandru and the centaur Novak noticed the large number of spider rats summoned by Anzu using a painting-type spell scroll, and dealt with three goblins with different equipment.

"Crisp and efficient."

The centaur Novak praised:

"The battle is also decisive and efficient."

If it were me, a newly appointed wizard apprentice...

It's unlikely that they could defeat these three goblins so easily in a short time by modifying the giant beetle.

"It's really good."

Sandru nodded slightly, then asked:

"Did you teach him how to construct this painting-style spell scroll?"

"Of course not."

The centaur Novak shook his head.

Before this.

The centaur Novak had once considered giving Anzu some complete methods for drawing painting-style spell scrolls as a reward.

However, based on previous tests...

If beginners are given a complete drawing method directly.

The other party will usually use these paintings as a basis to construct new painting-type spell scrolls.

Improving mysterious attributes is less efficient than directly utilizing knowledge to construct them.

The lower the mystery attribute, the lower the efficiency of the enhancement to all mystical knowledge and things, and the lower the probability of passing the entrance examination of the wizarding academy.

That's why the centaur Novak didn't do that.

"I only gave him some basic drawing skills, as well as some fire-related mystical knowledge that the academy required all wizarding apprentices to learn."

That's it.

This scroll-shaped spell, capable of summoning spider-like rat creatures, was likely created by Anzu himself.

This painting-shaped spell scroll is powered by dragon's might, and the summoned creatures it produces are also quite novel.

Therefore, even Novak, a centaur who was a formal wizard, had the idea of ​​exchanging the corresponding formula with Anzu.

After hearing the description of the centaur Novak, and considering Ansu's performance in the assessment,

Sandru also came to understand that Anzu's talent lay not only in mixing alchemical pigments and creating new alchemical pigment formulas.

They also possess considerable talent in drawing painting-style spell scrolls.

These two abilities can even complement each other, achieving a 1+1>2 effect.

Just two months ago, he was a corpse buryer who didn't even know how to draw the [Zombie Inhibition Bandage].

To have reached this level in such a short time is truly astonishing.

Sandru sighed inwardly.

Under normal circumstances.

If such a huge advantage can be gained in the first round.

Then, by continuously using these points, an advantage can be accumulated like a snowball.

Until it received the Dark Sun rating.

This is how one obtains the qualification of a wizard apprentice.

And a piece of mystical supernatural knowledge with an ether concentration of at least 300 points.

But this time is different.

Suddenly, Sandru thought of something else.

So he adjusted the crystal ball again, so that the image of the elf examiner described by El appeared.

Like Ansu, the opponent has also ended the battle and received a total of 900 points as a reward.

However, unlike Ansu, they did not immediately use their points to exchange for more alchemical materials through the light screen.

Instead, they collected the goblin souls and dug out their hearts.

They then fed it to the carnivorous magical creature on the giant unicorn beetle.

The giant unicorn beetle also began chewing on the bone staff left behind by the black-robed goblin.

Seeing that the three goblin corpses were riddled with holes, Sandru adjusted the crystal ball slightly.

This rewinds the scene to the moment when the elf examiner first began the examination.

Then they saw the giant unicorn's body covered in heavy armor made of a large number of magical plants, from which grew Venus flytrap-like magical plants with huge mouths, as well as tendrils that looked like tentacles.

Then, using its tentacles, it sprinted at top speed to the location of the three goblins.

The giant Venus flytrap on the armor came to life, tearing at the three goblins like a mad dog.

Before long, the giant unicorn beetle ended the battle.

Only three goblin corpses remained, riddled with holes from being torn apart.

Anzu seems to be aiming for the Zerg swarm strategy.

And the elf who devoted almost all resources to enhancing his magical plant-type armor...

Sandru was unsure which of the two would go the furthest in this test.

But one thing is certain:

The Elf Examiner is definitely a strong contender for the Dark Sun Rating.

"Unfortunately, we don't know the questions that follow, and we can't convey more information to Ansu and the other examinees in the testing area."

Sandru thought to himself, then continued to observe the crystal ball.

Then, the screens of multiple examiners were activated to check their preparation status.

at the same time.

Ansu also used the assessment points he had previously obtained to exchange for various alchemical materials.

Besides.

However, the three goblins did not disappear after the first battle ended.

Therefore, in order to improve its ranking in the assessment, Ansu did not waste any materials.

Before the goblins' souls had completely dissipated, he immediately transferred them into a jar that could store souls.

At the same time, it is planned to be used in subsequent modifications.

After collecting the souls, Ansu subconsciously looked at the bone staff left behind by the black-robed goblin.

However, unlike the elf El, he did not simply feed the bone staff to the insects.

After all, this thing is the bone of a magical creature.

It would be a waste to simply use them as food.

So Ansu memorized all the runes drawn on it.

Next, the bones were ground into bone powder and used to formulate more alchemical pigments.

At the same time.

The three shadow elemental bone dragons in the soul space were still carrying out various tasks related to alchemical pigments, illusory painting, and painting-type spell scrolls, just as before.

Ansu's proficiency in the relevant knowledge also continued to improve.

His talent also improved along with it.

Then one can apply the corresponding inspiration and talent to the mixing of alchemical pigments, allowing them to exert even greater power.

Then, with a series of notification sounds indicating increased proficiency, nearly an hour passed in the blink of an eye.

With the extensive knowledge and materials he had acquired, as well as the inspiration he gained after improving his proficiency, Ansu created a new type of alchemical pigment.

Both his own mysterious attribute and the Shadow Element Bone Dragon's mysterious attribute increased slightly.

The Shadow Element Bone Dragon has a higher Mystic attribute than Anzu due to the addition of multiple affixes.

It can also provide additional benefits to alchemical pigments.

If the Shadow Element Bone Dragon uses these alchemical pigments, it can achieve even more effects.

Ansu immediately prepared to invoke the Ether Link to have the Shadow Dragon apply the alchemical pigment to the giant beetle's carapace.

But before he could finish transmitting the instructions, another notification sounded in his mind:

[The Mystery attribute has been increased by 20 points through the deduction of new knowledge.]

[Triggering the job requirements for "Wizard Apprentice"]
