Chapter 63: Alternative Uses for New Passives: The Alchemy Potion is Finished!

Feeling a sense of power that had not been elevated for a long time.

Tang Zheng stretched his whole body, allowing himself to adapt to this newly increased strength.

Especially his mana.

With 28 points of mana, he could finally use fourth-tier magic!

Previously, he had upgraded "Warming" to the fourth tier, but due to a lack of mana, he had been completely unable to cast it.

Now, this problem was finally solved.

Magic Swordsman!

Regarding information on this class, Tang Zheng remembered that someone in the "Great Tomb of Nazarick" also possessed this class.

After recalling carefully, Tang Zheng quickly remembered who it was that possessed this class!

Bellriver, one of the 41 Supreme Beings in the Great Tomb.

The other party was a heteromorphic being whose entire body was covered in mouths, a mass of accumulated flesh, possessing four arms, each holding two staves and two longswords.

His class specialization was indeed Magic Warrior.

However, among the 41 Supreme Beings, the other party’s strength only belonged to the second-rate level, and it was entirely by relying on his own excellent player skills and positioning that he could exert a not-insignificant role in team battles.

From this point, one could also see that the Magic Warrior type, due to the scarcity of specialized abilities, was considered a rather mediocre class build.

This was also something that couldn't be helped in the game.

After all, there were only 100 levels; if one focused on being a warrior, magic-type classes could only be used as support.

However!

To Tang Zheng, this point was not a problem at all; after all, the "Genius" trait could compensate for this.

The reason he remembered the information about the player "Bellriver" so clearly.

Was because this guy was the only one among the 41 Supreme Being players who had clearly died in reality.

Moreover, it was not a natural death; it was because the other party had grasped dangerous information about a certain world-class large conglomerate in the "Overlord" real world, and was then silenced by someone.

This was also the reason why it left such a deep impression on Tang Zheng.

Bending down.

Tang Zheng lifted the fat wild rabbit, swung his longsword, and the abdomen was sliced open, with bloody internal organs spilling out all at once.

The Great Goblin Lin Mu, who had been waiting on the side for a long time, hurriedly crawled over, picked up the internal organs from the ground, and swallowed them in large gulps.

"Warming."

Following a flash of red light and the consumption of 1 point of mana, Tang Zheng used the 0th-tier "Warming."

The fur on the fat wild rabbit was quickly scorched by the high temperature, curling and shrinking; under the influence of the high heat, the fur turned into ash on its own and fell off.

In just one minute, the entire wild rabbit was roasted, emitting a piping hot fragrance.

Tang Zheng cleaned it up simply, then found a large tree and sat down to eat with his back against the thick trunk.

This was a defensive precaution against a sudden attack from behind.

Although with Tang Zheng's current strength, there shouldn't be any monsters in the outer forest capable of posing a threat to him, his vigilance could not be relaxed.

No seasoning.

The taste of the roasted rabbit meat was quite average.

Picking out the more tender parts of the meat, Tang Zheng tossed the remaining majority of the roasted wild rabbit to the Great Goblin Lin Mu, who had been waiting eagerly.

Watching the Great Goblin Lin Mu excitedly lying on the ground gnawing on the wild rabbit, Tang Zheng’s gaze was indifferent.

According to the traditions of his hometown.

Tang Zheng intended to let the other party eat their fill before killing them.

Currently, the "Genius" class level had already met the requirements, so Tang Zheng naturally had no need to continue staying in the Great Forest of Tob!

"No rush, eat slowly."

Tang Zheng rarely showed a faint smile as he said to the Great Goblin Lin Mu.

"Thank you, uh, my lord." The Great Goblin Lin Mu’s mouth was stuffed full, and he spoke in a slurred voice.

Tang Zheng withdrew his gaze from the Great Goblin Lin Mu, one hand in his pocket, while the other hand lifted the iron sword.

Taking advantage of this time, he would test the effect of the "Mana Infusion" passive.

As his thoughts stirred.

Tang Zheng clearly felt the mana within his body gathering toward the iron sword in his hand.

Immediately after!

A layer of translucent, somewhat brilliant mana light appeared on the surface of the iron sword.

"It’s not just adding a mana attribute; it seems that even the sharpness has increased a bit."

Tang Zheng watched the changes in the iron sword, his eyes brightening slightly.

Crack—

Suddenly!

A fine crack appeared on the surface of the iron sword, and before Tang Zheng could react, this fine crack rapidly spread across the surface of the iron sword.

In just two breaths' time, the entire iron sword was covered in cracks!

Accompanied by a soft "click" sound.

Under Tang Zheng’s stunned gaze, the iron sword actually shattered directly into irregular iron shards and scattered onto the ground!

"This is..." Tang Zheng held the remaining hilt, feeling a bit dazed.

"My, my lord? What happened?" The Great Goblin Lin Mu heard the commotion, looked up, and asked blankly.

Tang Zheng waved his hand casually, staring at the fragments on the ground, lost in thought.

"It couldn't withstand the power of 'Mana Infusion'?"

Soon!

Tang Zheng seemed to have thought of something; he took out the mithril dagger from his item box and performed a mana infusion.

This time, the situation where the iron sword shattered did not occur.

"Sure enough, is it a material issue."

"Only special metals that can conduct mana, such as mithril, orichalcum, and adamantite, can withstand the 'Mana Infusion' ability."

"Wasted an iron sword for nothing."

=9+Shu_Ba

After figuring out the reason, Tang Zheng took another one out from his item box.

He hadn't expected the "Mana Infusion" ability to be so overbearing, even having restrictions on the material of the weapon!

In the game, there shouldn't have been such restrictions.

But in the real world, such an ability had clearly become more perfected.

"When it comes down to it, it's just a technique for forcibly infusing mana into a weapon."

Wait!

Perfected?

Tang Zheng’s heart stirred.

Since it was the real world, the "Mana Infusion" ability couldn't possibly be limited to enchanting equipment like in the game.

Tang Zheng raised his palm, feeling the mana within his body, and manipulated this power to gather toward the center of his palm.

In a moment.

Translucent magical energy, emitting a faint bluish light, appeared in the center of Tang Zheng’s palm!

"That's more like it!"

"This isn't a game, but a real power system; how could mana be limited to only partial applications!"

A sharp glint flashed in Tang Zheng’s eyes.

The next moment!

Tang Zheng took out the alchemy solution he had previously abandoned from his item box.

The production of normal healing potions requires magic and herbs to be made together; this point also applied to alchemy solutions!

However, Tang Zheng had lacked such means before, and the appearance of "Mana Infusion" made him realize whether it could be applied to this.

He brought the water bag containing the inferior alchemy solution made using the poison sac of a Hangman Spider in front of him.

"Mana Infusion!"

Tang Zheng mobilized the mana in his body and slowly injected it into the alchemy solution.

The alchemy solution, which had originally looked turbid and was permeated with a fishy smell, actually began to emit a faint layer of mana light under the injection of mana.

It works!

Tang Zheng’s eyes brightened, and he hurriedly continued to inject into the alchemy solution.

1 point of mana!

2 points of mana!

…………

4 points of mana!

5 points of mana!

With the continuous injection of mana, the alchemy solution, which had been very turbid and emitted a fishy smell, gradually began to become clear, and the color of the entire solution also began to shift toward blue.

After consuming 5 points of mana, equivalent to the mana consumption of a first-tier spell!

The color of the alchemy solution had completely turned blue, looking clear and transparent.

The alchemy solution, which had originally filled the entire waterskin, had shrunk to about one-third of its original volume.

Observe carefully!

One could see that the alchemy solution in the waterskin was faintly shimmering with a trace of blue luster.

"Item Appraisal!" Tang Zheng quickly cast Appraisal.

……

Item: Magic Alchemy Solution (Paralysis Potion)

Grade: Lowest

Description: Inflicts a "Paralysis" negative status effect on the target, lasting for 10 minutes. (Potion effect degrades after 30 days.)

……

Looking at the alchemy solution in the waterskin, a hint of surprise and astonishment appeared in Tang Zheng's expression.

It had actually succeeded.

"The Pharmacist profession should also be able to utilize the 'Mana Infusion' ability, but issues such as combining various herbs and determining the correct dosages remain unavoidable."

"It is far less convenient than using alchemy directly."

Tang Zheng was somewhat excited; with a thought, he continued to inject mana into the waterskin.

He wanted to see what changes would occur to the alchemy solution if he continued to inject mana!
