"Okay, I understand. Thank you, Mom." Irena replied obediently.
Seeing the hostess coming over, the uncle and nephew immediately changed the subject. Since the uncle didn't want to talk about it, then he had no reason to talk about it.
Victoria came to the table and felt her husband's gaze more passionate than before. She asked shyly, "What's wrong, dear? Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Nothing, it's just that the mention of traveling reminds me of some things in the past. Traveling around the world, it really makes me nostalgic. Come to think of it, didn't we meet during the travels? It was only after Irena was born that we settled down in Roberta."
"Think about it, we haven't traveled since Irena was born. Why don't we find some time to go on a family trip as a family of four? It would be best if we could revisit the route we took back then." Uncle suggested.
"Really, dear, you are already a father, so stop saying such willful things. Traveling is not that easy, especially with two children?" Victoria first put some dishes on the plate, and then put the remaining chicken leg that should have belonged to Irene on Rhine's plate.
"Come on, little Rhine, eat more meat. Now is the time for growth."
"Aunt, no, no." Although he also liked to eat chicken legs, he would not snatch them from Irena.
"Although my aunt's family conditions are not as good as yours, and the food they eat is simple and may not suit your taste. But if you want to eat anything, just tell me, and I will try my best to satisfy you. Just treat this place as your own home, and don't be polite to us." After Victoria finished speaking, she gently touched Rhine's head.
"No, no, no, Auntie, you're joking. I'm the one who caused you trouble in the first place, how can I still be so willful and make demands? Besides, no matter what I eat, as long as it's Auntie's cooking, it's delicious. As long as it's Auntie's cooking, I love it!"
"If you ask me, my aunt's cooking skills are even better than my family's chef. I feel like I've gained a lot of weight in just half a month. I'm really envious of being able to marry a wife like my aunt." Rhine patted his round belly and revealed an innocent smile as bright as the sun.
"Your little mouth is as white as honey, and you're really good at talking. When he grows up, he's sure to be a handsome boy who'll charm thousands of girls." Victoria bent down, hugged Rhine in her arms and rubbed him, feeling very happy.
Damn it! How am I any different from that thief Cao?
In Rhine's eyes, his aunt was not only a great beauty, but also had a special temperament.
Thanks to his father, he had seen many beautiful women, including some with stunning looks, but none of them could compare to his aunt in temperament.
"Wife, you look so happy, why don't we have another boy? This way our family will be more lively." Uncle said excitedly.
"Hate it, dear, what are you talking about? There are children here." Victoria said shyly, obviously tempted by her uncle's suggestion.
"It's okay, he's only 4 years old, a little kid, what can he understand. Wait...you mean you would agree if there were no children present?" The uncle caught the blind spot and said excitedly.
"Well... I think we should ask Irena's opinion first on this kind of thing." Victoria replied with a slightly blushing face.
"It's okay. I think Irena would also like a younger brother, who could be a companion for her."
Looking at the two people in love, Rhine felt like a dog that was suddenly kicked while walking on the road.
"This meal is really inedible." Rhine quickly put down the knife and fork in his hand.
What else is there to eat? He’s almost choking to death on the dog food.
"I'm full. I'm going back to my room first." After saying this, he left quickly. Before leaving, he did not forget to take away the chicken leg that his aunt had picked for him.
"Ah? What's wrong with little Rhine? She seems a little unhappy." Victoria tilted her head in confusion.
Chapter 3 Rhine's Path to Promotion
"Oh, I just talked to him about his mother. Maybe he missed home." My uncle guessed.
"That's right. I had to leave my parents at such a young age and come to a foreign country thousands of miles away alone. It's inevitable that I would miss home."
Obviously, the two did not realize that Rhine left because he was almost choked to death by being fed a handful of dog food in front of him. After all, in their eyes, Rhine was just a four-year-old child.
"Alas, I don't know what my sister's situation is like now."
"The letter only said that they hoped we could take in little Rhine for a few years, but didn't say why. But I think they must have encountered some difficult situation that forced them to send their young child thousands of miles to me."
"We should have asked the witch who sent little Rhine here what happened to my sister. Unfortunately, she left after dropping off little Rhine." My uncle felt a little regretful about this. He was really worried about my sister's current situation.
"Don't worry too much, dear. Even if something does happen... we are far away and can't help you."
"Besides, your sister traveled thousands of miles to entrust her young son to you instead of anyone else in the family. Doesn't this mean that you are the only one in this world worthy of her trust? Otherwise, she wouldn't be so confident in handing the child to you."
"The only thing we can do now is to live up to your sister's trust in you and take good care of little Rhine. Letting him grow up healthily here with us is the greatest help to your sister." Victoria comforted.
"You're right. No matter what, all we can do is take good care of little Rhine and not let my sister down."
"By the way, honey, let Irena go and comfort little Rhine later. They are of similar age and should be able to get along well." The uncle said as he looked at Irena who was lying on the sofa reading a book.
"Well, speaking of which, Irena is a few months older than little Rhine, so she is considered the older sister. She really needs to pay more attention to her younger brother and take on the responsibilities of an older sister."
Rhine did not return to his room at this time, but came to the end of the corridor on the second floor. After climbing up to the attic along the ladder, he carefully moved from the attic window to the eaves, and finally climbed up to the roof with a certain slope along the eaves. After looking around and finding nothing unusual, he lay down on the roof.
*sys_call_Status #Panel call
After Rhine recited a spell of "unknown meaning" in his mind, a floating frame that only he could see appeared in front of him out of thin air.
"Alas~~ The panel hasn't changed for half a month. I thought I could soar to the sky and achieve free experience as long as I left that damn place, but I didn't expect there would be a limit on level breakthrough. I can only break through to the next stage after completing the job transfer task, otherwise I can only be stuck at level 20."
"Fortunately, the overflowing experience points will be automatically transferred to the backup experience storage slot, otherwise it would be a real loss. What the hell is this setting that if you don't complete the job transfer task, you won't be able to break through, and if you don't break through, you won't be able to level up? Do I have to play a breakthrough game when I break through?"
"I understand the logic, but the problem is where can I go to trigger the job change quest! Or rather, who would issue a job change quest to a 4-year-old kid?"
For a moment, Rhine didn't know what to do next.
He originally thought that this game was similar to the full-stealth "virtual reality game" like Sword Art Online, where you could level up just by killing monsters, but he didn't expect there would be such a thing as a job transfer quest.
If he didn't complete the job transfer task, he would be stuck at level 20 no matter how much experience he gained. The silver lining was that the system didn't give him a breakthrough.
Rhine has not read "Witch's Journey" and doesn't know what the background setting of the original work is like, but that doesn't prevent him from understanding the world through books.
For three years, he spent almost all his time in his father's study, except for eating and sleeping (meditation). To be frank, their collection of books was richer than the national libraries of some small countries. He spent three years reading only a small part of the library, but fortunately he took pictures of the rest of the books with the camera that came with the system.
During the past half month at his uncle's house, he spent his time reading those books. Through the records in the books, he knew that in this world, if he wanted to change his job, he had to complete the assessment tasks issued by various official professional organizations, such as the Adventurer's Guild, the Magic Integration Association, the Holy Church, the Mercenary Association, the Warrior Association, the Kendo Alliance, the Assassin's Guild, etc., or ask the top professional of the same profession to issue the assessment tasks personally.
For example, the highest-ranking job for a swordsman is a sword saint, the highest-ranking job for a warrior is a martial saint, and the highest-ranking job for an adventurer is an S-rank adventurer...
The highest-level professions for the mage that Rhine wants to change to are sage and witch. The former is the title of male magician, and the latter is the title of female magician.
As for why there are two names for one profession, it is because women in this world seem to be more favored by magic than men. Whether in terms of magical talent or qualifications, female mages almost always beat male mages. (Note 1)
This gap is not so obvious at low levels, so both male and female mages are collectively referred to as magic apprentices, which is the initial career that Rhine will switch to next.
After passing the association's assessment, magic apprentices can be promoted to magicians. At this stage, because the realm is not high, there is no difference between men and women. But as soon as you go up one level, the difference between men and women begins to appear. At this stage, male mages are called wizards, and female mages are called apprentice witches.
As the name suggests, an apprentice witch is an apprentice, and only after completing the corresponding studies can she be considered a witch who can stand on her own. But similarly, due to some unknown reasons, when a female wizard reaches the witch stage, it is also the end of the wizard career.
There is no way forward, no way out, this is the greatest pain for contemporary magicians. (Note 2)
Although every wizard who can become a witch is a genius picked from thousands, since women themselves have unique talents in magic, it is not that difficult for them to become witches. At least, professionals of the same rank as witches, such as sword saints, martial saints, killing saints, and S-level mercenaries, are often only one in hundreds of thousands or even millions of people, while witches can appear in more than ten or twenty.
This has led to a large number of professional mages gathering in the witch class. According to incomplete statistics from the Magic Unification Association, there are as many as 140,000 witches registered in the association alone, of which more than 60,000 have chosen to join the Magic Unification Association, more than 30,000 have chosen to serve the emperor, king or aristocratic forces, and the remaining more than 50,000 witches are freelancers not affiliated with any force.
Moreover, these are only the data that are openly registered with the association. In fact, there are many witches trained with private funds from countries, nobles, wealthy businessmen, etc., who do not register with the association, so the actual number of witches will be even greater.
It is precisely because the group of mages at the witch stage is too large that even witches at the same level have considerable differences in strength. The strongest legendary witch can even single-handedly challenge 100,000 ordinary witches.
Therefore, in order to facilitate a more accurate division of the strength of witches, the Magic Integration Association further subdivided the witch stage into four small levels, namely ordinary witch, high-level witch, great witch and legendary witch.
Using a simple example, the witch's promotion path is:
Magic Apprentice (Kindergarten)
Magician (Primary School)
Apprentice Witch/Mage (Middle School)
Witch/Sage (University)
High-level witch (graduate student)
Great Witch (Doctor)
Legendary Witch (Professor)
Chapter 4 Official Cheats
What? You ask where the demon man is? Well, the demon man... is there.
There were indeed several male wizards who reached the rank of ordinary witches in historical records, but they all clearly stated that they would not use the title of magic man or witch, but they did indeed reach the rank of witch.
Therefore, after several rounds of comprehensive consideration, the Magic Unification Association decided to grant these male wizards who have reached the witch rank the title of sage as an exception. So please remember, don't call them magic men, call them sages!
As the pioneers of male mages, they are undoubtedly great! Although they are only equal to ordinary witches of the lowest rank, they broke the monopoly of female mages on the witch class and the curse that male mages cannot break through to the witch rank!
Every sage is a hero to all male mages! However, if Rhine remembered correctly, there were only 6 sages recorded in history... On average, one sage appeared every 1000 years.
The last sage appeared more than five hundred years ago, so based on the average time, the next sage will theoretically appear in five hundred years.
Therefore, there is no male wizard in this world who has reached the level of witch! No matter how talented a male wizard is, he will eventually stop at the peak of wizard.
For this reason, male mages are extremely rare and unwelcome in this world. For example, adventurer teams usually do not include male mages unless they have no choice.
Since Rhine already knew the humble status of male mages in this world, why did he still stubbornly choose to be a mage?
It's not that he wants to be a mage, but he has no choice. Because the golden finger given to him by the system is an extremely powerful magic weapon. If he doesn't become a mage, then this golden finger is given to him in vain?

After seeing the cheat codes given by the official, do you know why he is determined to become a mage?
A total of 12 protections! Although compared to Reinhardt next door who had more than 12 protections, his protections seemed insignificant, but it was enough to make him firm in his determination to become a mage.
When he got this equipment from the novice gift pack, he didn't know what words to use to describe the extraordinary and greatness of this equipment. Supreme, powerful, invincible, abnormal, plug-in, cheat? Anyone who has played some RPG or MOBA games can see the amazingness of this equipment. It's just short of printing the three words "I am invincible" on the equipment description.
It was precisely because of the protection attached to this artifact that he was able to escape danger in assassination attempts many times.
With such a magical artifact, wouldn't it be a waste of resources and against the will of heaven if he didn't become a mage?
"If you want to break through the level limit, you must first complete the job transfer task and become a magic apprentice. If you want to become a magic apprentice, you must register with the Magic Integration Association and pass the assessment. Only after passing the association's assessment can you be considered a formal magic apprentice."
"That is to say, the most important thing next is to find an association base closest to here to complete the professional assessment. Otherwise, being stuck at level 20 is not a solution." Rhine analyzed the current situation and had a plan for the next step in mind.
"Well, it's the same system. I don't expect you to have artificial intelligence (Great Sage) assistance like Moe-Oh or Spider-Girl, but at least you can give a novice guide? Even if there is no novice guide, you can at least give a game explanation, right?"
Three years! It has been three years since he came to this world! He has never heard his system say a word, let alone give advice and guidance as thoughtfully as the great sage of the cute king. It is called a system, but apart from being able to see his own panel, he has not enjoyed any other conveniences.
He's four years old, he's already four years old! He's four years old and still hasn't achieved anything.
What does four years old mean?
The time traveler next door could skillfully use chantless magic at the age of four, and became a water saint-level magician at the age of five!
Look at him again, let alone the forbidden spells or super-level magic that can destroy the heavens and the earth, he has never even cast the lowest level fireball spell. They are both time travelers, why is there such a big gap? Isn't he the protagonist?
Although he doesn't know magic, he has not done nothing in these three years.
He had been thinking about how to create his own magic, and after looking through all the books in his home library, he actually came up with something.
The reason why I had this idea was inspired by the protagonist in "The Wise Man's Grandson". When he was a child, he was able to create a lot of new concept magic based on his understanding of magic, so why can't he do it?
So Rhine combined what he learned about the magic system of this world from the library with the scientific system he had come into contact with in his previous life to construct a new magic system, which he called the Magic Science System.
Although it is still just a prototype, he believes that as long as it continues to be improved, this system will definitely flourish.
He created his own magic system! Could he be the peerless genius who could rival Daozu in the future?
