Wizarding Age: I can analyze everything

Chapter 8 Invitation to the Society

After walking around for a while, Pei Ze had a general idea of ​​what to expect.

The tasks in the square can be mainly divided into three categories.

The first category is miscellaneous tasks.

This includes cleaning the laboratory, tending the herb garden, and serving as a teaching assistant for meditation classes, among other things.

These types of tasks are the easiest and simplest, and are also very safe, but relatively speaking, they take a long time and the rewards are not satisfactory.

Often, after seven days, you can only get about 10 contribution points as a reward, which is only enough to buy 2 Spirit-Nourishing Grass leaves.

The second type of task is the experimental type.

There is usually only one type: assisting a teacher in conducting an experiment.

These types of tasks are not only short in duration, but also offer attractively high rewards.

You can earn 50 contribution points in a day.

However, according to Pei Ze's observation, very few people take on this type of task.

As for the reason, he could figure it out with his toes.

Ultimately, it's due to the uncertainty and high risk of the experiment.

It is said that during the Dark Ages, many wizards, lacking test subjects, would often lure students with high rewards to assist in their experiments, resulting in the deaths or mutations of many students.

In those days, the number of wizarding apprentices who died in wizarding experiments was no less than the number who died in battles and conflicts.

However, over the next tens of thousands of years, due to the improvement of knowledge transmission, wizards no longer needed to rely on human experimentation to study knowledge, and many dangerous experiments were gradually abolished.

Even when experimental subjects are truly needed, wizards prefer to use slaves captured from colonized planes rather than abuse their own apprentices.

Today, experiments that require student assistance are generally low-risk.

Of course, even the lowest risk is not without risk.

Any experiment carries the risk of unexpected events.

Therefore, unless they are extremely short of money, no trainee would be willing to risk their life to take on experimental tasks.

Pei Ze was no exception; he skipped these kinds of tasks without even glancing at them.

The last category is combat missions.

As the name suggests, these are missions that require combat, including guarding a mining area or herb garden outside the city, clearing monsters from a mine, and hunting down dangerous creatures in the wild.

These types of tasks are the most dangerous, but the rewards are usually quite substantial, starting at a minimum of 100 contribution points.

After hesitating for a moment, Pei Ze gave up on this type of task.

He hasn't mastered a single spell yet, and with only the physique of a knight, accepting this kind of mission is practically suicide.

Those who dare to accept combat-related missions are either third-level wizard apprentices or second-level wizard apprentices who possess magical items.

"Looks like I'll have to choose miscellaneous tasks."

Pei Ze shrugged helplessly and began selecting a task.

But at that moment, his gaze suddenly stopped.

Mission ID 877

Task: Take care of Medicinal Herb Garden No. 8, duration: 7 days.

Task Requirements: Proficiency in plant cultivation, basic pharmacology, identification of extraordinary materials, the science of all things, and rare botany; and mastery of the spell "Plant Aura".

『Task Reward: 50 Contribution Points』

Among the many miscellaneous tasks that only reward 10 contribution points, this task stands out because its reward is a full 5 times that of other tasks!

"50 contribution points. The reward is high, but the conditions are also very harsh." Pei Ze said thoughtfully.

Of the five courses required for the task, Fundamentals of Pharmacy and Rare Botany are advanced courses. Apart from students who aspire to become pharmacists, they will only have a superficial understanding of them and will not delve into them in depth.

As for Plant Aura, it is a type of zero-ring spell that catalyzes plant growth.

Similarly, apart from students who aspire to become pharmacists, no one would bother learning spells that don't really help improve their strength.

Those who aspire to become pharmacists are usually from wealthy families and would never be interested in such a job.

The students they liked didn't meet the requirements.

That made things very awkward.

"No wonder no one has accepted this task after looking for so long."

Pei Ze smiled slightly. He didn't know about others, but this task suited him very well.

Although he had never taken either of the advanced courses, it didn't matter. With his all-knowing eye, he could master the material in no time by finding the corresponding books in the library.

However, understanding and mastering the plant's spiritual light requires time.

After a moment's thought, Pei Ze quickly made a decision.

I'll take this mission!

The mission has a 7-day cycle, and the rewards can be exchanged for 7 days' worth of Spirit Gathering Grass Leaves. The rest can be saved up to buy spell models. This mission is worth doing!

However, before that, you must first learn about plant aura.

"I only have 7 gold coins left, and I need 13 more gold coins to buy Plant Aura."

Pei Ze frowned; money really was a big problem.

Just then, a voice called out from behind.

Pei Ze.

Pei Ze turned around and saw a group of people standing behind him.

Five men and three women, all familiar faces—the same group from Class Three who had advanced to wizard apprenticeships before him.

The boy leading the group was Shao Hong, whose talent was second only to Cheng Li in Class 3.

"Long time no see, Pei Ze."

Shao Hong raised his hand in greeting, his smile sincere and instantly making people feel at ease.

However, Pei Ze neither confirmed nor denied this.

In his memory, he and Shao Hong had barely exchanged a few words, and the latter had never been so friendly to him before. This sudden change in behavior was clearly due to his status as a first-level wizard apprentice.

Ultimately, it's about treating people differently based on their status.

However, one shouldn't hit a smiling face, so Pei Ze greeted them as well.

"have not seen you for a long time."

"I heard you've also advanced to the Wizard Apprentice level, so I guessed you'd come to the mission area to check it out. I came looking for you, and sure enough, I found you," Shao Hong said with a smile.

"Is there something you need?" Pei Ze asked.

Shao Hong's expression turned serious, and he said, "We're here to invite you to join our society."

"To form a society." Pei Ze raised an eyebrow.

The term "association" refers to a group spontaneously formed by students to exchange knowledge and experiences and help each other.

The Tower Academy has a long tradition of establishing societies.

A few exceptional societies have even survived from hundreds of years ago to the present day.

For example, the Shadow Serpent Society, the Wisdom Society, and the Rose Society are all well-known and established societies in the academy, bringing together countless outstanding wizard apprentices.

In addition, many new societies founded by freshmen emerge in the college every year.

Of course, for various reasons, few of these new associations last more than two terms, and they often fall apart before long.

"We all came from Class 3, and we know each other fairly well, so we simply formed a society to exchange knowledge and information with each other, and at the same time prepare for the upcoming trials," Shao Hong explained.

"A trial?" Pei Ze raised an eyebrow, asking curiously, "What kind of trial?"
