Wizard: Unlimited Profession Slots Chapter 1292 - 517: Good Endings and Bad Endings

Ron was not overwhelmed by the grand blueprint presented by the other party.

Years of experience had already taught him that in the Wizard World, any seemingly generous promises often conceal various calculations of interest.

He slowly turned and looked directly into Vinard’s silver mechanical eyes:

"Professor, I need a clearer collaboration framework, especially regarding the method of calculating remuneration."

This direct attitude left Vinard slightly stunned.

In his expectations, any young wizard witnessing such a grand plan.

Should be so overwhelmed that they lose rational judgment and eagerly agree to any conditions.

But Ron’s calmness instead made the Great Wizard nod in approval.

"Very good."

Vinard’s electronic voice carried obvious satisfaction:

"Those with ideals but lacking in realistic considerations often don’t live long."

He gestured for Ron to follow, and they began walking towards the depths of the Tree of Life:

"Before we discuss specific terms, let me first show you some ’benefit facilities’ you might be interested in."

They climbed up the spiral crystal stairs.

Each step up, Ron could feel the subtle changes in the air’s magic concentration.

These changes presented a certain designed gradient distribution, rather than being entirely random.

"Do you feel it?"

Vinard noticed the change in Ron’s expression:

"The pattern of magic concentration change.

This isn’t accidental, but the ’three-dimensional magic field’ I constructed at great expense."

When they reached a platform in the midsection of the Tree of Life, an awe-inspiring sight appeared before them.

It was a hemispherical crystal structure, inside its transparent walls could be seen a pool of liquid as dazzling as a star river.

"This is one of my proudest creations in this colony—’Magic Pool’."

Vinard’s tone carried a Creator-like pride:

"Though it’s far inferior to the chaotic environment of the deep Abyss, the cultivation efficiency here is over ten times higher compared to ordinary environments."

Ron carefully observed this Magic Pool, with [Essential Insight] allowing him to see its complex structure.

The bottom of the pool was paved with rare crystals from different realms, each having specific energy regulation functions.

The entire Magic Pool seemed connected to the roots of the Tree of Life, forming an organic Energy Recycling System.

"But that’s just one aspect of its value."

Vinard continued to explain, his tone becoming more profound:

"You should have already noticed, the time flow of this world differs slightly from that of the Main World.

This isn’t coincidence, but one of the basic laws of cosmic operation."

He projected a complex Star Map in the air, marked with the magic densities and time flows of different worlds:

"The lower the world’s magic, the slower its time flow relative to high magic worlds.

This is like the gravitation field’s effect of distorting spacetime—the higher the magic density, the greater the ’weight’ of time."

This theory made Ron’s eyes light up.

It perfectly explained many phenomena he had observed before:

Why the deeper the Abyss, the greater the time difference with the outside world;

Why High Tier Wizards always choose magic-dense environments for critical cultivation;

Why certain ancient Arrays can produce the effect of ’time acceleration’...

"Below the ninth level of the Abyss, dozens of days pass outside while only a day passes within."

Vinard illustrated:

"The magic density there reaches tens to hundreds of times that of the Main World, time is almost ’compressed’ to the extreme."

"And the magic density of my colony, even after years of painstaking construction, can only reach half of the Main World."

The precise data comparison was shown on the Star Map:

"This means staying here for two days is equivalent to one day in the Main World, yet the corresponding rate of magic acquisition and cultivation will sharply decrease."

"But the issue of low magic is easily resolved in the face of this Magic Pool’s amplification effect..."

Vinard casually displayed a calculation formula before him:

"You should understand what this represents—the efficiency of magic compression here isn’t much worse than that of the deep Abyss."

This information was eye-opening, making Ron realize the true value of Vinard’s proposal.

Time is the most precious resource for anyone.

If one lives long-term in a low-magic world with slower time flow.

Though paying the price of reduced cultivation efficiency, it also equates to indirectly extending one’s life and growth cycle.

Moreover, there is a specially designed high magic environment here that can somewhat compensate for cultivation efficiency.

"This is indeed an irresistible condition."

Ron admitted, but immediately turned the subject:

"But precisely because it is so valuable, I need to ensure the fairness and sustainability of the collaboration."

Vinard nodded in satisfaction.

Very good, able to recognize the value of opportunity yet not be overwhelmed by interests.

"Then, let’s discuss the specific collaboration framework."

Vinard indicated for them to sit on the crystal chairs beside the Magic Pool:

"I propose adopting a ’quarterly evaluation’ flexible settlement system."

"Every three months, we conduct a comprehensive evaluation.

The evaluation criteria include: the student’s academic progress, the awakening rate of new skills, and your constructive opinions on the colony’s indoctrination."

A detailed evaluation form began to appear in the air, each criterion had clear quantitative metrics:

"Based on evaluation results, we classify the levels as ’Qualified’, ’Good’, and ’Excellent’."
