I'm doing daily quests in Wizarding World

Chapter 4 Daily Tasks (Part 2)

Lynn climbed the wooden stairs back to her room on the first floor.

Lynn gently rubbed the book cover; the leather texture carried the vicissitudes of history.

Upon opening the book, Lynn discovered that it was a diary-like notebook.

"The 5th day of the 13th month of the 4670th year of the Seventh Wizarding Era."

Today I attended my first Mutation Studies class at the academy. It's a pity that the course has been running for a month, and I don't understand many of the technical terms. But I will definitely study hard, after all, it cost me a whole ten magic stones to get this qualification.

Harlin told me that what happened to my sister was likely a curse related to a mutated infection, and that if I studied this course diligently, I would definitely find a way to restore her.

The Seventh Era wizard Lyleon's eyes flickered.

This was a time he had never heard of before; was it a unit of time used by wizards to record time?

However, he did know about the thirteen months that followed.

He felt strange when he first transmigrated, but he quickly understood.

Because in this world, there are thirteen months in a year.

Each month has exactly thirty days.

That is to say, there are 390 days in a year in this world.

There wasn't anything I couldn't adapt to, after all, it was only a difference of about twenty days between a year and my previous life, so the actual difference wasn't that big.

However, the academy mentioned here also has courses in mutation studies, so there is a place among wizards to pass on knowledge, similar to an academy.

I never would have guessed that my teacher, Anglie, was actually a proper "professional" teacher. I had thought he was a self-taught amateur.

Lynn continued looking down.

The following sections are annotations of some variational terms recorded by Angre.

Judging from the handwriting and arrangement, it was not recorded all at once, but rather seemed to be written a little bit every day.

"The 10th day of the 13th month of the 4670th year of the Seventh Wizarding Calendar."

With Harlin's help and after consulting relevant books in the library, I can now barely understand what the teacher is saying. I have learned a lot today and I am very happy. However, my sister's condition is not optimistic and time is running out. Anglie, you must acquire more knowledge as soon as possible. She is your only sister and she can only rely on you.

I like it here, but I also hate it. Here I can access so much knowledge, but it's also incredibly cold. Almost everyone's interactions follow the wizarding rules—an exchange of benefits—there's absolutely no human touch.

Hmm. It's definitely more interesting to peek into the teacher's diary than to study dry, boring knowledge.

I never imagined that my cold and aloof teacher once had such a youthful and vibrant side.

The diary entries gradually decreased, and most of the entries were notes compiled by Anglie.

Most of it is about knowledge related to variation, from beginner to advanced, from simple to complex.

Lynn was captivated by what he saw, and his understanding of mutation studies gradually deepened.

He gradually gained a clearer understanding of the content of mutation studies.

Mutation is a relatively broad discipline in the wizarding world. It and bloodline studies are like twins, as related as biology and chemistry; the two are inseparable.

A master of mutation studies must also be a master of bloodline studies.

Conversely, a master of bloodline studies would certainly also be an expert in mutation studies.

Because there are various creatures with extraordinary powers in the world, which exist widely in various planes and possess all kinds of magical powers.

Research, analysis, transplantation, replication, mutation, evolution.

Anglie's research likely involves a bloodline potion similar to that of lizardmen.

As Lynn continued reading, a line of black text suddenly appeared in the corner of her cornea: "Mutology has been learned, and the life career panel has been activated."

Lynn opened his attribute panel and was surprised to find that a new section had indeed appeared: Life Professions.

Lynn

Level: 2 (1/100)

Physical fitness: 1.32

Mental Power: 2.0

master:

—Earth Ring Meditation (7%)

Life occupations:

-- Level 1 variability (1%) (0/10)

General experience points: 90

There's a plus sign after "variation studies".

Lynn discovered that his general experience points could be added to his life professions.

Ten experience points isn't much; you can earn them back in a day.

After thinking for a moment, Lynn chose to allocate ten general experience points to Mutation.

（10/10）后数字微微一闪又变回了（0/10），但前面的1级变异学则变成了2％。

Ten general experience points grant 1% progress in Mutology?

Lynn pondered, "If I want to break through to level 2 Mutation, wouldn't I have to pay a tuition fee of 1,000 general experience points?"

No, I've already mastered 1%, so I should only need to pay 990 points in tuition. Plus, I can keep learning, and that will increase my progress. The tuition won't cost that much.

The next moment, Lynn sensed something was wrong, and his mind cleared as if a door had been opened.

Having begun practicing meditation, he is more sensitive to spiritual matters than the average person.

A vast amount of knowledge leaked out from a door-like entity, and this intangible thing was transformed into another form of tangible reality.

Lynn closed his eyes and savored the information for a while, organizing the knowledge in his mind. Then he opened his eyes, a strange look flashing in them.

Interestingly, it was actually knowledge related to mutation studies, and something I had never encountered before.

Judging from the level of knowledge presented, it should be at the introductory level of mutation studies, not too advanced, which is perfect for me to grasp. It's a gradual process of filling in the gaps in my knowledge and supplementing what I've already learned.

However, because it only accounts for 1%, much of the knowledge is only superficial and not systematic.

So, mutation studies are considered a life skill profession? Does that mean bloodline studies and alchemy are also included in life skills professions? And what is the main profession?

The night was slightly cool.

At the foot of the mountain, a hunter dressed in animal skins wielded a machete, clearing away the thorns along the way, and spoke to the two behind him, "I'm sure. The footprints I found last time I went hunting in the mountains went in this direction. I remember there was an abandoned building over there. I heard it was haunted, which is why it was abandoned. Maybe those missing people were abducted there by ghosts."

Behind the hunter followed a team of more than a dozen people.

Behind the procession stood two rows of town security team members, carrying muskets and wearing leather armor, holding torches in their hands. The leader was fully clad in tin armor, carrying a small oil lamp and a broadsword on his back.

Despite being clad in full iron armor, the leader moved with incredible speed, as if the armor he wore was made of paper rather than iron.

The hunter led the way, and the others followed behind.

The mountain is located to the east of the town, and apart from hunters and herb gatherers who occasionally go up the mountain, few people ever come here.

"Is this the house you're talking about?"

Halfway up the mountain, the security team looked at the dilapidated house in front of them.

The fence outside was rotten and overgrown with weeds, and the dilapidated wooden house was covered with ivy.

There was absolutely no indication that anyone lived there.

"If you dare to lie to us, you're finished!" the sheriff carrying a musket said menacingly.

They climbed such a long distance to come up this mountain late at night; they didn't come here to play in a haunted house or go on an adventure.

They were brought up the mountain by the knight in the middle of the night, and they dared not harbor any resentment towards the knight. However, as long as this hunter wanted to live in the town, he had to be under their control.
