perhaps due to the sheer number of pedestrians, the stone-paved road had become somewhat sunken in certain spots.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the entire ground remained very clean, with only the faint traces of moss visible in the crevices along the very edges of the street.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surrounding clusters of buildings were arranged in an orderly fashion, primarily in light tones, with dark-toned, European-style roofs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Tang Zheng walked along the street, he observed his surroundings while heading toward the Adventurer's Guild in E-Rantel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He needed to find a place to rest and recuperate first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had left the Royal Capital on May 17th; by now, he had spent thirteen days on the road.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The matter of leveling up had to be put on the agenda as soon as possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Tob Forest and the Katze Plains, located near E-Rantel, were two important leveling locations in his view.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Zheng intended to head to the Tob Forest first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was not only because the forest contained a large number of beasts and magical creatures, but also because he currently lacked the means to inflict effective damage on the undead creatures of the Katze Plains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Zheng needed to prepare some supplies for himself; he owed this to the wilderness survival skills the \"Rock\" squad had taught him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was not heading to the Adventurer's Guild now, but to an inn located nearby; it was said that these inns were businesses that had sprung up around the guild.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some high-level adventurer squads did not even need to pay when staying at these inns.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had been walking for over ten days straight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his past life, Tang Zheng felt that his legs would have been all but ruined, if not completely useless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After this long journey, aside from feeling a bit tired, Tang Zheng felt no discomfort at all, and he hadn't even developed a single blister on his feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This situation made Tang Zheng suspect that leveling up was likely not just an increase in strength, but that his own physique was also becoming significantly stronger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Zheng unhooked the water skin from his waist and took a drink; after passing through a few blocks, he found a small inn located one street away from the Adventurer's Guild.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This type of inn offered two kinds of rooms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One was a multi-person room, which could accommodate 4 to 6 people, costing one copper coin per person per day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other was a two-person room, costing 5 copper coins per person per day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This type of inn was clearly provided for adventurer squads, and indeed, that was the case; after all, aside from adventurers and visiting merchant caravans, local commoners would not stay in inns.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naturally, Tang Zheng would not stay in a multi-person room, so he simply booked a two-person room for himself; after considering the time needed to prepare supplies, he booked it for a total of two days, which cost him 20 copper coins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was the price of one silver coin and seven copper coins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Click!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pushing open the brown wooden door, the somewhat aged hinges let out a harsh, light sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Zheng stepped inside, closed the door behind him, and scanned the entire room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The room was not large, only about eleven or twelve square meters; in the center of the room were two wooden beds with a simple nightstand in between.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the rest of the space, there was no other furniture, making it look very sparse; the only thing that brought Tang Zheng any comfort was that this room came with a private toilet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Overall, this otherworld was at a medieval level, but due to the existence of magic, it could not be viewed entirely as medieval.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether in the Royal Capital or on the central streets of E-Rantel, there were things similar to streetlights.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, they were not real streetlights, but magic lamps containing something called \"Everlasting Light.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the journey had been arduous, it was not a problem for Tang Zheng; the only thing he found somewhat unbearable was the issue of using the toilet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Paper\" did exist in this otherworld!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the papermaking process was very backward, the output was very low, and no one was willing to waste time improving it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was because in this otherworld, there existed zero-tier magic that did not exist at all in the game \"Yggdrasil.\" This type of magic was also known as utility magic!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One only needed to consume a little mana to easily create a large amount of paper; under these circumstances, there was naturally no need to improve papermaking technology.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The \"Rock\" squad was, after all, a high-income group, and once people have money, their standard of living always improves a bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ahem.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Zheng coughed lightly, interrupting the thoughts that had emerged in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The existence of zero-tier magic was information Tang Zheng had heard from the \"Rock\" squad; according to their captain, Dosari.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This type of magic was only used to make life more convenient, and most magic casters would not specifically learn it; unless they had a need for it, they would only purchase the corresponding magic scrolls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was also because of this information.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>=9+Shu_Ba\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That Tang Zheng was reminded of something: his way of acquiring skills was to learn them by consuming skill points after someone else cast the skill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If a spell was cast using a scroll, could he also learn it by consuming skill points?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Additionally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was also the issue of making money!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether he was willing to admit it or not, the upcoming purchases would all require money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heading to the Tob Forest, not to mention anything else,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>he had to buy at least one piece of armor, especially a weapon; the short sword in his hand would likely have its edge rolled after killing just a few beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn't afford a magic weapon, so he had to stock up on a few ordinary blades!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The basic cost of living in this world was not high, but once an item was involved with \"magic,\" the price became frighteningly high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A cup that merely had a cooling effect cost as much as 150 gold coins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And weapons with magical effects, regardless of their strength, were worth over 1,000 gold coins!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These were things ordinary people could never touch in their entire lives!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the money he currently had, he could only buy a few decent ordinary weapons!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the way to E-Rantel, Tang Zheng had already started considering the problem of making money; asking Enri for advice on manufacturing \"healing potions\" was done with this consideration in mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After figuring things out, Tang Zheng knew he couldn't spend a large amount of time collecting herbs and learning herbal knowledge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Zheng had considered \"zero-tier magic,\" or utility magic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fortunately, the money Captain Dosari gave me solved my current temporary predicament.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Zheng took the pouch of gold coins from his bosom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had just checked it; there were a full 20 gold coins inside, and adding the money he had left over previously, he currently had 22 gold coins, 4 silver coins, and 4 copper coins on hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Zheng put the money pouch into his item box and reached up to rub his temples; there were many problems to think about, but next...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thump!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Zheng walked to the side of a bed and fell backward onto it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had been sleeping in the wild, and his nerves had been tightly wound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, he could finally sleep on a bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What he needed most right now was to properly recuperate and get some rest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Zheng lay on the bed, turned his head, and glanced out the window; the sun was high outside, and calculating the time, it should have just passed noon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This inn was not far from the Adventurer's Guild, and since it was daytime, he should be able to get a good rest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This thought flashed through Tang Zheng's mind, and he closed his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1371,"2026-06-21T02:30:15.860Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","a62a5da838dd35ae4e886e1f43d848f229914a0ff9ca89135a3c31d42f40df37","bone-king-welcoming-the-birth-of-the-king-chapter-25","bone-king-welcoming-the-birth-of-the-king-chapter-23",357,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fbone-king-welcoming-the-birth-of-the-king-cover.jpg"]
