Chapter 3: Class Acquisition Clues: High-Quality Human

The game "Yggdrasil" is completely different from traditional games; the death penalty is extremely high. Upon death, one loses five levels immediately, and if one's level is insufficient, the account is deleted.

To reduce the cost.

One must either activate resurrection-type magic or carry resurrection items, pay-to-win items such as resurrection rings, resurrection wands, and so on.

Tang Zheng does not have these resurrection items.

Moreover, he suspects that even with the innate ability of a "player," there is no such thing as automatic resurrection once he dies.

After all.

This is a real otherworld, not a game.

He cannot afford to be anything but cautious!

Tang Zheng gnawed on a piece of hardened black bread while reaching toward his waist, where the short sword he had purchased with silver coins hung.

Without magic like "Item Appraisal," he naturally could not obtain the data for the short sword in his hand.

However, even without this magic.

Tang Zheng knew clearly that the short sword in his hand was the most ordinary of weapons and would not have any attribute bonuses at all.

And the reason he bought this weapon, besides using it for self-defense, was that he had learned how to activate a class upon 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 in front of him, and after waiting for a moment, information appeared on the attribute panel before his eyes.

"No!"

Tang Zheng immediately thought to himself.

The class-taking information dissipated from the attribute panel; this clearly was not the first time it had appeared, as it had already appeared once when he bought the sword.

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

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

It resulted in triggering an intermediate class called "Black Guard," but it could not be taken; to obtain this class, one required the prerequisite basic class called "Guardian."

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

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

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

Basic Class (15 levels)

Intermediate Class (10 levels)

High/Special Class (5 levels)

These three categories of classes can only be leveled up to their corresponding maximums.

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

As long as it is not intentional, it is almost impossible for identical players to appear.

The reason Tang Zheng, after discovering he could take a class while buying the short sword, had not done so until now was because he was very clear on one point.

Level 100!

This is a cap!

And all basic classes have a space of 15 levels; wanting to deal with that group of existences in the Great Tomb, a pure Warrior class or Caster class clearly would not work, as it would be very easy to be targeted.

In other words!

If Tang Zheng wants to have no obvious shortcomings, he needs at least one basic Warrior class and one basic Caster class.

And these two basic classes combined already account for 30 levels, leaving the remaining 70 levels of choice space significantly reduced.

He must be extremely cautious!

Once the class build is flawed...

The trial-and-error rate is too low; Tang Zheng cannot afford to be anything but careful!

Dry-chewing the black bread.

Tang Zheng frowned slightly, sitting on the ground with his head half-lowered, his gaze constantly flashing with signs of contemplation.

Regarding the choice of basic classes,

he currently did not have much of a clue, or rather, he dared not make up his mind.

If there were no threat from the Great Tomb, and he were only facing the natives of this otherworld, he would not need to be so conflicted at all.

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

Even.

If Tang Zheng wanted to reach level 100 in a short time, it was not as if there were no shortcuts.

The class system of the game "Yggdrasil" does not necessarily require one to level a certain class to the max; if one takes 100 classes, then the player's level can directly reach 100.

It is just that such a level 100 is very weak and has no value.

Since Tang Zheng learned about the situation of the world he had transmigrated into yesterday, he had been thinking about how to narrow the gap between himself and the "Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick" if he were to become their enemy. After much thought, it boiled down to two points!

1. Utilize technology unique to the otherworld that does not exist in the "Overlord" game.

For example: Martial Arts, the Kingdom of Re-Estize's national treasures "Razor Edge," "Ring of Ainz Ooal Gown," etc.

2. Must take a Special Class!

A Special Class is a more powerful class than a High Class, and all Special Classes come with powerful special skills or effects, with intensity that can even exceed Super-Tier Magic.

Only by possessing a Special Class!

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

*Tap-tap—*

A set of footsteps emerged from the crowd on the street and arrived before Tang Zheng, who was squatting in a corner, head lowered in thought, looking as if he were troubled by something.

A shadow blocked the sweltering sunlight.

Sensing a trace of coolness.

Tang Zheng was the first to snap back to reality. Looking at the shadow on the ground, his heart tightened. He tried his best to keep his face expressionless as he looked up at the figure appearing before him.

=9+Shu_ba

It was a young boy.

He had short golden hair, and the bangs on his forehead almost covered his eyes, making him look a bit like a mushroom head; the first impression he gave was that of a gentle personality.

He was not very old.

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

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

Enri?

The future person known as the "Genius Alchemist," one of the few humans even the Bone King holds in high regard.

Although the other party's current appearance had some differences from when the story began, the overall look was not much different. Thus, it was not difficult to recognize him.

"Hello, have you encountered some difficulties?"

Enri spoke in a somewhat shy, low 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 posture squatting in the corner, and the aura of dejection radiating from his whole body.

Tang Zheng generally understood.

Damn it!

I'm being pitied!

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

"What are you doing, Enri?" 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 woman walked over with a cold expression.

Hearing this small old woman address the golden-haired mushroom-headed boy by name.

"It really is Enri."

Tang Zheng thought silently to himself.

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

Tang Zheng subconsciously took another look at Enri.

This is a true talent.

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

These are class variants unique to the otherworld, and can also be said to be an innate talent or natural gift.

A class with the (Genius) tag allows a person to increase the number of skills they can learn for that class, learn related skills beyond their own level range, and includes increasing the power and intensity of skills.

Enri only took a few years to use local herbs to create the legendary God's Blood of the otherworld, which is the low-tier red potion in the game.

There are plenty of such level potions in the Great Tomb, but no matter how many there are, there will always be a day when they are used up. It is no wonder the Bone King pays attention to him.

Besides this.

Enri also possesses an innate ability: "Unlimited Item Usage"!

This ability allows Enri to use any item, including magic scrolls, armaments, and race-restricted items that do not match his class.

Even guild weapons that only guild players can use can be equipped and used normally!

Thinking of this, Tang Zheng took a deep breath internally; such a talent—can be called a high-quality human of the otherworld.

To a certain extent, Enfirea could even pose a threat to the Great Tomb!
