Chapter 3

The game "Yggdrasil" was completely different from traditional games; the death penalty was extremely high, and upon death, one would directly drop five levels; if the level wasn't high enough, the account would be deleted.

To reduce the cost.

One either had to cast resurrection-type magic or carry resurrection items, cash-shop items, such as resurrection rings, resurrection wands, etc.

Tang Zheng didn't have these resurrection items.

And he suspected that even with the Talent of "Player," there wouldn't be a situation of automatic resurrection once he died.

After all.

This was a real other world, not a game.

He couldn't afford to be anything but cautious!

Tang Zheng gnawed on the hard black bread while reaching for his waist; that was the short sword he had bought with a silver coin.

Without magic like "Item Appraisal," he naturally couldn't obtain the data for the short sword in his hand.

However, even without this magic.

Tang Zheng knew that the short sword in his hand was just the most ordinary weapon and wouldn't have any attribute bonuses at all.

And he bought this weapon not only for self-defense but because he learned how to activate a class when touching it!

*Hum—*

*Contact with weapon: Short Sword. Obtained basic class information: Warrior. *

*Do you wish to take this class? *

Tang Zheng held the short sword before him, and after waiting for a moment, information appeared on the attribute panel before his eyes.

"No!"

Tang Zheng immediately thought silently in his heart.

The information about taking the class dissipated on the attribute panel; this clearly wasn't the first time it had appeared, as it had already appeared once when he bought the sword.

Including this time, Tang Zheng had already denied it twice in a row.

He discovered that by touching the corresponding weapon with his hand for a period of time, he could trigger relevant class prompts; when he was in the shop selling weapons, he had touched a special shield.

The result was triggering an intermediate class named "Black Guard," but he couldn't take the class; to obtain this class, he needed the basic class named "Guardian" as a prerequisite.

This made Tang Zheng somewhat excited, to the point that under the shop owner's near-murderous gaze, he touched every weapon he could reach.

Unfortunately, besides that shield, all of them could only activate the basic class of "Warrior."

In the game "Overlord," class levels were divided into three categories.

Basic Class (15 levels)

Intermediate Class (10 levels)

High/Special Class (5 levels)

These three categories of classes could only be raised to their corresponding levels at most.

And in "Yggdrasil," the total number of classes reached over two thousand, which could be said to possess a quite massive class system.

As long as it wasn't intentional, almost no two players would be the same.

The reason Tang Zheng hadn't taken a class until now, after discovering he could do so when buying the short sword, was because he understood one point very clearly.

Level 100!

This was an upper limit!

And all basic classes had a space of 15 levels; wanting to deal with those existences in the Great Tomb, a pure warrior class or caster class clearly wouldn't work, as it would be very easy to be targeted.

In other words!

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

And these two basic classes added together already took up 30 levels, significantly reducing the remaining 70 levels of choice space.

He had to be extremely cautious!

Once the class construction was wrong...

The trial-and-error rate was too low; Tang Zheng couldn't afford not to be cautious!

Dry-chewing the black bread.

Tang Zheng frowned slightly, sitting on the ground with his head half-lowered, thoughts constantly flashing in his gaze.

Regarding the choice of basic classes,

He currently didn't have much of a clue, or rather, he didn't dare to make up his mind.

If there were no threat from the Great Tomb, and he was only facing the natives of the other world, he wouldn't be this conflicted at all.

The only ones in this world who could truly be called a threat were those True Dragon Lords.

Even.

If Tang Zheng wanted to reach level 100 in a short time, it wasn't like there were no shortcut methods.

The class system of the game "Yggdrasil" didn't necessarily require maxing out a certain class; if one took 100 classes, then the player's level could directly reach level 100.

It was just that such a level 100 was very weak and had no value.

Since Tang Zheng learned about the situation of the world he transmigrated to yesterday, he had been thinking about how to narrow the gap between himself and the "Great Tomb of Nazarick" if he were to become their enemy. Thinking it over, it was nothing more than two points!

1. Utilize technology unique to the other world that didn't exist in the game "Overlord."

For example: Martial Arts, the national treasure of the Re-Estize Kingdom "Razor Edge," the "Ring of Avarice and Generosity," etc.

2. Must take a special class!

Special classes were more powerful than high-tier classes, and all special classes came with powerful special skills or effects, with strength that could even exceed super-tier magic.

Only by possessing a special class!

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

*Tap, tap—*

A set of footsteps emerged from the crowd on the street and came before Tang Zheng, who was squatting in the corner of the wall, head lowered in thought, looking distressed about something.

The shadow blocked the sweltering sunlight.

Sensing a trace of coolness.

Tang Zheng was the first to come back to his senses; looking at the shadow on the ground, his heart tightened, and he tried his best to keep his face expressionless as he looked up at the figure appearing before him.

=9+Book_Bar

It was a boy.

With short golden hair, the bangs in front of his forehead almost covered his eyes, making him look a bit like a mushroom head; the first impression he gave was that his personality was on the softer side.

He wasn't very old.

His attire was also somewhat ordinary, but the material was much better than the clothes Tang Zheng was wearing, which were worth a few copper coins.

Looking at the golden-haired boy appearing before him, Tang Zheng was briefly stunned, and a flash of surprise crossed his dark brown eyes.

Nfirea?

The future "genius alchemist," one of the few humans whom even Ainz valued highly.

Although the other party's current appearance was slightly different from when the plot started, the overall look wasn't very different. So, it wasn't difficult to recognize him.

"Hello, have you encountered any difficulties?"

Nfirea spoke in a somewhat shy, small voice, his tone very sincere.

Difficulties?

This way of asking made Tang Zheng pause.

Looking at the half-eaten rye bread in his hand, his behavior of squatting in the corner of the wall, and the aura of dejection radiating from his whole body.

Tang Zheng roughly understood.

Crazy!

I'm being pitied!

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

"What are you doing, Nfirea?" Just then, an indifferent voice came from behind.

Only about 1.5 meters tall, with pale hair wrapped in a green headscarf, a small, unremarkable old lady walked over with a cold expression.

Hearing this small old lady call the name of the golden-haired mushroom-headed boy.

"It really is Nfirea."

Tang Zheng thought silently in his heart.

If he had been somewhat uncertain before, now he could basically confirm it.

Tang Zheng subconsciously looked at Nfirea again.

This was a true talent.

Possessing dual variant classes like "Alchemist (Genius)" and "Pharmacist (Genius)."

This was a class variant unique to the other world, or it could be said to be a natural talent or innate gift.

Possessing the (Genius) tag for a class allowed one to increase the number of skills learned for that class and learn some relevant skills beyond one's level range, including increasing the power and intensity of skills.

Nfirea only used a few years to utilize local herbs to manufacture the legendary God's Blood of the other world, which was the low-tier red potion in the game.

There were plenty of this level of potion in the Great Tomb, but no matter how many there were, there would always be a day when they were consumed; it was no wonder Ainz paid attention to Nfirea for being able to manufacture them.

Besides this.

Nfirea also possessed the Talent: "Unlimited Item Usage"!

This ability allowed Nfirea to use any item, including magic scrolls, equipment, and race-limited items that didn't match his class.

Even guild weapons that could only be used by guild players could be normally equipped and used!

Tang Zheng took a deep breath internally thinking of this; such talent—he could be called a high-quality human of the other world.

To a certain extent, Nfirea could even threaten the Great Tomb!
