Chapter 55: Cost-Effective Life Magic: The Application of the Pharmacist

What a pity!

Tier magic only goes up to the tenth tier; anything above level 70 belongs to the realm of super-tier magic. No matter how high a caster’s level stacks, it has nothing to do with super-tier magic.

He collected his thoughts.

Tang Zheng glanced at "Papermaking" and did not waste skill points on upgrading it.

Before he fully understood the specific uses of the paper produced by "Papermaking" that possessed the properties of "alchemy materials," he did not intend to further improve this magic.

Seeing the mana consumption required for fourth-tier magic.

Tang Zheng could not help but feel a bit helpless, a look of slight headache appearing on his face.

With his current mana level, he simply could not cast fourth-tier magic.

His original plan for his class build was to focus on the warrior class, supplemented by the magic class.

And the situation before him, while not disrupting his previous plans, gave Tang Zheng many thoughts he hadn't had before.

"Regardless, obtaining the 'special class' is the top priority; everything else can be pushed back."

Tang Zheng muttered softly to himself.

He reorganized the information on his [Ability Sheet].

Tang Zheng discovered the difference between life magic that could have its tier increased and true tier magic.

Take "Heating," a life magic he had raised to the fourth tier, as an example.

He could freely choose to lower the mana consumption and cast it at a first-tier level, whereas true tier magic clearly could not do this.

"In terms of the characteristics of life magic, the cost-performance ratio seems very high," Tang Zheng pondered.

He scanned his attribute panel.

"Experience Bar: 5893/9500"

He was still over 4000 experience points away from raising "Genius" to level 10.

Tang Zheng was not in that much of a hurry, so he simply decided to take a day off to adjust his mood.

Originally, Tang Zheng thought it would take about two months to raise his overall level to 20, which was why he had temporarily prepared about a month's worth of food.

Once it was mostly consumed, he would return to Carne Village to collect supplies, then head back to the Tob Forest.

As it turned out, with the Great Goblin Mugu leading the way, this progress had greatly accelerated, far exceeding Tang Zheng's initial expectations.

Taking advantage of today's rest.

After clarifying the gains from his level increases during this period, Tang Zheng began to shift his attention to another matter he cared about.

Alchemy!

Pharmacy!

The abilities of these two production classes increased along with his level.

When "Genius" was only level one, these two class skills could not exert any effective role at all due to their low levels.

Now, with the increase in his level, these two skills finally displayed their proper effects!

Tang Zheng took out a plant from his item box that was deep green overall, grew a wood-yellow flower the size of a thumb, and looked no different from ordinary weeds.

This was a medicinal herb called "Heat Leaf," which had anti-inflammatory and healing effects!

Tang Zheng naturally knew nothing about herbs.

Although he had learned a bit of herbal knowledge from Enri for a time, that level was simply insufficient to distinguish between forest herbs and ordinary grass.

He had learned the specific effects of this herb from the Great Goblin Mugu.

The Great Forest of Tob possessed quite abundant forest resources; some precious medicinal herbs in human society were not necessarily precious in the inner regions of the forest.

Humans dared not venture deep into the Great Forest of Tob, but for the Great Goblins who already lived in the jungle, it was not a difficult thing to gather.

"Pharmacy."

Tang Zheng muttered silently in his heart, and the Heat Leaf herb in his hand was immediately wrapped in a layer of emerald green light.

The entire herb quickly turned into a small pinch of wood-yellow medicinal powder, appearing in his palm.

Swish!

He casually slashed the back of his hand with an iron sword, creating a four or five-centimeter-long cut, and blood immediately flowed out along the wound. Tang Zheng did not care; he sprinkled all the powder from his palm onto the wound, and a cool sensation spread along the cut.

The wound, which had been bleeding, stopped within a few breaths.

"Using the pharmacist's 'Pharmacy' ability doesn't just turn herbs into powder; the medicinal effect seems to have been strengthened as well."

Tang Zheng looked at the stopped wound and muttered thoughtfully.

There were no pharmacists in the tribe where the Great Goblin Mugu lived.

Their way of using this herb was much simpler and cruder, generally involving crushing or chewing it a bit and applying it directly to the wound.

Therefore, the effect was far less effective than making it into medicinal powder.

Immediately after.

Tang Zheng recalled how Enri had made alchemy solutions back then, took out another Heat Leaf, and made it into powder again.

At the same time, he took out his water skin, poured the powder into the water bottle, and activated "Alchemy."

=9+Shu_ba

Quickly!

The clear water in the water skin gained a hint of light green.

Tang Zheng slashed another wound on the back of his hand and poured the alchemy solution into the second wound.

The superior effect he had expected did not appear!

It was not even as good as the treatment from the powder.

Tang Zheng frowned: "Logically, the healing effect of the alchemy solution should be better."

At least that was the effect Enri had shown back then; could it be that his current "Alchemy" level was too low?

No!

Tang Zheng shook his head.

Although he was not sure of the specific levels of Enri's "Alchemist" and "Pharmacist" at this point in time.

But Tang Zheng knew that the levels of his two life classes were much higher than Enri's.

You have to know.

The "player" leveling method is completely different from the leveling method of the natives of this other world!

Players only need enough experience to easily raise any class to the maximum level.

But people in the other world who want to increase their level can only study the class themselves; theoretically, the energy spent by someone in the other world to raise a class to the maximum level is unimaginable.

Just like people in his past life, no matter how much of a genius they were, it was impossible to thoroughly research a technology or even a discipline in a short time.

Perhaps there is also this possibility... that is, possessing talent that surpasses ordinary people!

Without the accumulation of experience over time, without the characteristics of a "player," it is clearly unrealistic to raise a class to the maximum level in a short time.

If Tang Zheng remembered correctly.

Even four years later, when Enri researched the "Blood of the Gods" potion, the levels of her "Pharmacist" and "Alchemist" were only level 4.

Of course!

These two life classes of Enri both contained the "Genius" talent, which could exert abilities beyond her level.

In fact, the relevant technology for the "Blood of the Gods" had already been mastered by the "Slane Theocracy" long before Enri researched it.

It was just that the "Blood of the Gods" produced by the Theocracy required more expensive materials and was not suitable for promotion.

He collected his thoughts.

Looking at the somewhat clear alchemy solution in the water skin.

Since it was not a matter of class level, was the dosage wrong?

Because his mana was already low.

Tang Zheng could only wait for his mana to recover while continuing to work on his research.
