Chapter 3 - Clues to Job Advancement, High-Quality Humans

"YGGDRASIL" was a game completely different from traditional games, with extremely high death penalties. Dying would directly result in a loss of five levels, and if your level was too low, your account would be deleted.

To reduce the cost,

you either had to use resurrection magic or carry resurrection items, like cash shop items such as resurrection rings, resurrection wands, and so on.

Tang Zheng didn't have any of these resurrection items.

Moreover, he suspected that even with the innate ability of a 'Player,' there would be no automatic resurrection once he died.

After all,

this was a real otherworld, not a game.

He couldn't afford to be careless! Tang Zheng gnawed on the hard black bread, reaching for the short sword he had bought with silver coins.

Without magic like Item Appraisal, he naturally couldn't obtain information about the short sword in his hand.

However, even without that magic,

Tang Zheng knew that the short sword in his hand was just an ordinary weapon, without any attribute bonuses.

He bought this weapon not only for self-defense but also because touching it allowed him to understand how to activate a job! Buzz—

Contact with weapon · short sword, basic job information acquired: Warrior.

Job change?

Tang Zheng held the short sword in front of him, waiting for a moment before the information appeared on his attribute panel.

"No!"

Tang Zheng immediately recited in his heart.

The job change information disappeared from the attribute panel. This was obviously not the first time it had happened; it had already occurred once when he bought the sword.

Including this time, Tang Zheng had refused twice in a row.

He discovered that by touching the corresponding weapon for a period of time, he could trigger relevant job prompts. When he was in the weapon shop, he had touched a special shield.

As a result, he triggered an intermediate job called Black Guard, but he couldn't change to it. To obtain this job, he needed the basic job called Guardian as a prerequisite.

This made Tang Zheng a little excited, so much so that under the boss's almost murderous gaze, he touched all the weapons he could reach.

Unfortunately, apart from that shield, all he could activate was the basic job of Warrior.

In the game "Overlord", job levels were divided into three categories:

Basic Job (15 levels)

Mid-Tier Job (10 levels)

High-Tier/Special Job (5 levels)

These three levels of jobs could only be raised to the corresponding level at most.

And in "YGGDRASIL", the total number of jobs reached more than two thousand, with a considerably large job system.

Unless intentional, there would hardly be any identical players.

When Tang Zheng bought the short sword, he discovered that he could change jobs. The reason he hadn't changed jobs until now was because he was very clear about one thing.

Level 100! This was the upper limit! And all basic jobs had a space of 15 levels. If he wanted to deal with the existences in the Great Tomb of Nazarick, a pure warrior job or caster job would obviously not work, as they would easily be targeted.

In other words!

If Tang Zheng wanted to have no obvious weaknesses, then he would need at least one basic warrior job and one basic caster job.

And the sum of these two basic jobs would already be 30 levels, greatly reducing the remaining 70 levels of choice.

He had to be cautious!

Once the job structure failed...

The trial and error rate was too low, so Tang Zheng couldn't help but be cautious!

Chewing on the dry black bread,

Tang Zheng frowned slightly, sitting on the ground with his head lowered, his eyes constantly flashing with thoughtful expressions.

Regarding the choice of basic jobs,

he currently didn't have much of a clue, or rather, he didn't dare to make a decision.

If there wasn't the threat of the Great Tomb of Nazarick, and he was only facing the natives of this different world, he wouldn't need to be so troubled.

The only real threats in this world were those True Dragon Lords.

Even.

If Tang Zheng wanted to level up to 100 in a short amount of time, it wasn't like there weren't any clever methods.

In the game YGGDRASIL, the job system didn't necessarily require leveling a certain job to the maximum. If you took on 100 jobs, then the player's level could directly reach 100.

It's just that such a level 100 would be very weak and have no value.

After learning about the situation of the world he had transmigrated to yesterday, Tang Zheng had been constantly thinking about how to narrow the gap between himself and the Great Tomb of Nazarick if he were to become enemies with them.

After much deliberation, there were only two points!

① Utilize technologies unique to this different world that didn't exist in the game Overlord.

For example: Martial Arts, the Re-Estize Kingdom's national treasure, Razor Edge, the Origin Ring, etc.

② He must take on a special job! Special jobs were more powerful than high-tier jobs, and they all came with powerful special skills or effects, with strengths that could even surpass super-tier magic.

Only by possessing a special job!

Tang Zheng felt that he would at least have the conditions to go one-on-one with the Floor Guardians of the Great Tomb of Nazarick.

Da da—

A sound of footsteps emerged from the crowd on the street and came to Tang Zheng, who was squatting in the corner, deep in thought, looking troubled by something.

A shadow blocked the sweltering sunlight.

Sensing a hint of coolness.

Tang Zheng was the first to regain his senses, looking at the shadow on the ground, his heart tightened, and he tried his best to show a blank expression on his face as he looked up at the figure that had appeared before him.

It was a young man.

With short golden hair, the bangs in front of his forehead almost covered his eyes, looking a bit like a mushroom head, giving the first impression of a gentle personality.

He wasn't very old.

His clothes were also quite ordinary, but the material was much better than the clothes Tang Zheng was wearing, which were worth a few Silver Coins.

Looking at the golden-haired young man who had appeared before him, Tang Zheng was briefly stunned, and a hint of surprise flashed in his dark brown eyes.

Nfirea?

The one who would be called a "Genius Alchemist" in the future, one of the few humans that even Ainz Ooal Gown valued.

His current appearance was somewhat different from when the story began, but the overall appearance wasn't too different. So it wasn't difficult to recognize him.

"Hello, are you in some kind of trouble?"

Nfirea asked softly, a little shyly, his tone very sincere.

Trouble?

This question made Tang Zheng stunned.

Looking at the rye bread he had half-eaten in his hand, his behavior of squatting in the corner, and the listless air emanating from his body.

Tang Zheng roughly understood.

Damn it!

I'm being pitied!

Tang Zheng's mouth twitched, and he said expressionlessly, "No."

"What are you doing, Nfirea?" Just then, a cold voice came from behind.

A small old woman, only about 1.5 meters tall, with pale hair wrapped in a green turban, looking unremarkable, walked over with a cold expression.

Hearing the old woman call the golden-haired mushroom head young man's name.

As expected, it's Nfirea.

Tang Zheng thought silently in his heart.

If there was still some uncertainty before, it can basically be confirmed now.

Tang Zheng subconsciously glanced at Nfirea again.

This is a true talent.

He possesses the dual variant classes of 'Alchemist (Genius)' and 'Apothecary (Genius)'.

This is a unique job variant in this other world, and can also be said to be an innate talent or natural gift.

Having the (Genius) mark on a class increases the number of skills that can be learned for that class, allows one to learn some related skills beyond their level range, including increasing the power and intensity of skills, etc.

Nfirea only spent a few years using local herbs to create the Blood of God of the other world legends, which is the low-level red potion in the game.

The Great Tomb of Nazarick has plenty of this level of potion, but no matter how much there is, there will always be a day when it runs out. It's no wonder Overlord is paying attention to Nfirea being able to create it.

Besides that.

Nfirea also possesses the innate ability: 'Unlimited Item Use'! This ability allows Nfirea to use any item, including magic scrolls and armaments that don't match his class, items limited to certain races, and so on.

Even guild weapons that can only be used by guild players can be equipped and used normally! Tang Zheng took a deep breath in his heart when he thought of this talent—it can be called a high-quality human in this other world.

To a certain extent, Nfirea can even threaten the Great Tomb of Nazarick!
