Looking at the experience gained on the Attribute Panel, Tang Zheng couldn't hide the surprise in his heart.
Crack!
Crack!
As the ritual ended, the various magic materials used to set up the ritual emitted dense sounds like shattering glass, turning into clumps of powder.
"By repeating the operation, I can gain 1.5 million Experience Points every day... Hiss..."
Tang Zheng's heart couldn't help but pound a few times. The slight loss of magic materials was completely insignificant.
For him, who was currently lacking experience, this was no less than a pillow sent when one was sleepy.
Tang Zheng's "Goblin Farming Plan" in the Tob Forest, and the Abelion Hills which he now indirectly controlled, were all prepared for the farming plan.
But "farming" takes time. With less than three years left, relying solely on farming goblins would be completely insufficient to gain a hundred levels of experience!
This would inevitably require a large number of demi-humans to be eliminated to make up for the lack of experience.
To deal with the future crisis.
Tang Zheng didn't mind slaughtering these demi-human races that posed a threat to humans, but he also knew the consequences of large-scale slaughter.
It was very likely to attract attention from multiple parties!
The situation in this world was too complex.
Not to mention the True Dragon Lord, the Dragon Emperor whose information was unknown, and the Benevolent Mother on the surface.
Players would descend every 100 years, but that didn't mean only one wave of players would appear each time. What Tang Zheng couldn't quite figure out was this:
These descending players all seemed to die or disappear within 100 years of their descent.
While the human race was indeed unable to survive for too long due to the limitations of lifespan, that didn't mean all the descending players were of the human race!
According to clear intelligence.
One of the Six Great Gods, the Dark God, an Undead with a job structure like the Undead King, who had no lifespan limitations, died at the hands of the Eight Greed Kings.
This matter itself was strange.
Tang Zheng came back to his senses, knowing that the most important thing now was to increase his strength. Thinking about anything else, no matter how much, was meaningless.
Seeing that the ritual was completely successful.
After the initial excitement, Tang Zheng immediately continued to activate the "Spiral of Death Ritual", using the remaining two magic opportunities consecutively.
He gained another 1 million experience, bringing his Experience Bar to over 2 million experience.
Increase level!
Tang Zheng stared at the Attribute Panel, a thought flashing through his mind. A large amount of experience began to be consumed, and waves of life force, each stronger than the last, continuously emanated.
An invisible aura subtly formed around Tang Zheng as the center, briefly distorting the surrounding air!
In an instant.
He leveled up 3 times!
Comprehensive Level: 48Lv
[Experience Bar: 478160/610000]
Skill Points: 64→73
Jobs: Holy Knight: 7Lv, Dark Knight 1Lv...
...
"Holy Knight is only 3 levels away. I can max it out within these two days," Tang Zheng thought with certainty.
Upper Fengyue, April 16th.
Two days passed in the blink of an eye.
On the first day, he accumulated 1.5 million experience points, and on the second day, he only collected 500,000, because that amount was already sufficient.
"Level up," Tang Zheng murmured.
[Experience Bar: 2478160/610000]
↓
[Experience Bar: 478160/730000]
After leveling up to 50 and then again, the depth of the Experience Bar changed from adding 50,000 per level to adding 70,000 per level.
His Comprehensive Level reached 51, and the Mid-Tier Job, Holy Knight, also reached Level 10!
Buzz—
The Attribute Panel vibrated.
Satisfied Job Construction Information
Tang Zheng's eyes lit up, but he wasn't surprised. As expected, this kind of normal job construction could be completely deduced through job information.
The Genius Job has been converted to Paladin
Job Construction Achieved — Low-Tier Job [Paladin 10Lv], Mid-Tier Job [Holy Knight 10Lv]
Triggered High-Tier Job: Saintly Master
Do you wish to take this job?
"Saintly Master?"
Seeing the High-Tier Job that was constructed, Tang Zheng's face suddenly darkened:
"I hope it's not the job I'm imagining."
"Take the job!"
...
Job: Saintly Master
Level: High-Tier Job
Ability Effects:
Passive:
"Faith's Shelter": When HP drops to half, immediately restores 20% HP and removes negative status effects (1/day).
"Holy Judgment": Deals an additional 10% damage to Undead and all enemies with negative positive energy values.
"Light's Pressure": Holy attribute attack skills and magic receive a certain enhancement bonus, gaining 20% Dark Attribute Resistance.
Active Skill:
Radiant Sword: Summons a Holy Light sword and smashes it into the target area, dealing physical and Holy attribute damage to enemies within the range and causing a "Blind" negative effect.
Description: When a Knight cannot eradicate evil and is deeply mired in self-reproach and crisis, I declare in the name of the "Lord" to judge all evil with absolute light.
(Note: For every 1 level increase, the four attributes (MP, HP, Physical Defense, Magic Defense) increase by 15 points.)
...
"It really is this job." Tang Zheng's face darkened a few shades.
He had been somewhat uncertain before, but after seeing the job name and the "Radiant Sword" skill, he could now be completely sure.
This job was the one possessed by Cerebre, the leader of the Dragon Kingdom's only Adamantite Rank Adventurer Team, Crystal Tear.
"I didn't expect Saintly Master to be a High-Tier Job. After all, in this Different World, people who can possess High-Tier Jobs are as rare as phoenix feathers and qilin horns."
This was 10 levels of experience!
Tang Zheng could directly acquire this job from Cerebre.
"Forget it, it's just wasting three to four million Experience Points, which is only two or three days' time."
Tang Zheng muttered generously to himself, then carefully examined the job information.
If it were in the past.
Three to four million Experience Points would have made his heart ache for a long time!
"A High-Tier Job constructed from two tiers, Low and Mid, is indeed stronger than the Magic Swordsman constructed from two basic jobs."
"But compared to the Cursed Knight, it is indeed a bit weaker."
This was not the first time Tang Zheng had obtained a High-Tier Job, so he could immediately analyze the job's level and quickly discovered its core.
"As expected of a tank job."
Tang Zheng noticed the information about the "Faith's Shelter" passive and immediately thought of the Mid-Tier Job Holy Knight's passive "Power of Faith".
Their effects were similar.
Both restored HP when the HP value dropped below half; one immediately restored 10% HP, while the other immediately restored 20%.
These two passives from Holy Knight and Saintly Master combined meant that when HP dropped to half, 30% of HP was immediately restored.
Furthermore.
when the passive abilities are active.
"Power of Faith" can increase healing effects by 100%.
"Faith's Protection" can remove negative statuses.
These two jobs, combined with the basic job [Paladin], clearly benefit from a standard job build system.
"What a pity."
Tang Zheng shook his head.
He was indeed tempted by the combined passive ability "Immediately restore 30% HP," but he wouldn't keep the intermediate job just for this one passive.
While [Genius] brought him convenience, it inevitably sacrificed the job bonuses that come from building with basic jobs.
There are gains and losses.
Tang Zheng was very open about this; his job build path was quite clear from the start.
"Next, I need to downgrade and remove [Holy Knight]. I still have two casts of 'Final War (Good)' today."
Tang Zheng's eyes flashed, "What would happen if I didn't use 'Experience Points Casting'?"
Thinking of this.
"Tenth Tier Magic—hmm?"
Tang Zheng was about to cast magic, but the mana in his body, after a brief surge, returned to calm:
"Failed."
"Because there isn't enough experience points, I can't cast it. As expected, normal casting doesn't involve downgrading."
"If I use Experience Points Casting, a Tenth Tier magic costs an additional 1.5 million experience points, totaling 2 million experience points."
Tang Zheng thought of this and quickly calculated that consuming so much experience points in one go would inevitably cause him to drop several levels.
It's indeed good for downgrading.
"'Experience Points Casting' · Tenth Tier Magic..."
"Hmm!"
Tang Zheng's pupils contracted, and he was somewhat surprised to find that the casting failed: "How could this be?"
His expression turned serious.
This was the first time such a situation had occurred. Fortunately, it wasn't during combat, otherwise, this unknown situation alone would be enough to put him in danger.
There's no problem with the class skill, so is the problem with the tier magic?
—'Experience Points Casting': You can use regular tier magic without mana by consuming (Tier Level x 50,000 experience points).
"So that's it. I really didn't notice the condition 'regular tier magic' before."
"'Great Ritual · Final War (Good)' should not be considered regular tier magic, which is why casting it with experience points failed."
Tang Zheng was thoughtful. He hadn't paid attention to these details before, and this served as a warning.
Might as well.
Using the clumsy method, after normally casting ordinary tier magic and consuming the remaining 400,000 experience points, using First-Tier Magic would immediately cause a level drop.
Rumble!
Rumble!
The scorching red magma in the Magma Sea, as the magic blasted into it, continuously emitted violent tremors like a turbulent sea surface.
In just a moment.
Tang Zheng had already completed the level drop and used "Mad Meditation" to cast magic, gaining 1,000,000 experience points.
----
Comprehensive Level: 42Lv
[Experience Bar: 1000001/360000]
Skill Points: 73→82
Jobs:
Mid-Tier Job: Dark Knight 1Lv
High-Tier Job: Saintly Master 1Lv...
----
Having completed a new round of job changes.
Tang Zheng didn't immediately level up. Instead, he planned to wait until he had accumulated enough experience to raise the Dark Knight to max level in one go, obtaining a second High-Tier Job.
"The last time I left Despair Valley was in October of last year. It's been almost half a year now. It's time to go back and check on the human tribe."
Tang Zheng looked at the surging Magma Sea, the fiery red light reflected in his eyes.
"Despair Valley" was a good point to enter other areas of this continent.
However, that area was different from the northwest corner of the continent where humans resided. Tang Zheng knew very little about it, so he was very cautious in his actions.
"The Holy Kingdom and the Slane Theocracy won't come to the Hills for now."
Tang Zheng analyzed.
The more important the Integration Potion was to both sides, the less likely the high-ranking officials of the two countries would easily contact him, because doing so would put them at a disadvantage in the subsequent negotiations.
After obtaining the potion, both sides would likely put all their effort into researching how to refine this potion. Only after confirming that there was absolutely no way to produce it would they seek him out again.
"That's good. There's something else I need to do before that."
Tang Zheng's body flickered:
"—Greater Teleportation!"
...
Re-Estize Kingdom.
Northwest.
A small town called PaShui Town.
A transport caravan consisting of 10 carriages was dragging carts of goods along the uneven and bumpy streets, heading out of the town.
The goods on the carriages were quite varied.
Most were ores, and some were food supplies, due to the mineral deposits near PaShui Town.
Therefore, several caravans gathered here, specifically to transport the ores from here to various places.
However!
This caravan was clearly different, as there were actually two adventurer teams escorting it.
It wasn't difficult to guess why this was the case; presumably, there were valuable items within the caravan.
Rumble—
Rumble—
The horses pulling the carriages were panting heavily, constantly dragging the squeaking wheels that were pressing down on the road forward.
As the caravan passed the street near the town gate.
A figure wrapped in a gray cloak, holding a long sword, was curled up in a corner, looking very inconspicuous.
As the carriages drove through the street one by one, gradually leaving the town.
The gray-robed figure slowly opened his eyes, revealing a pair of sharp yet lazy eyes.
"It should be them."
The gray-robed figure raised his head, yawned, and glanced out of the corner of his eye at the direction where the caravan was gradually disappearing, muttering to himself.
Under the hood.
A slightly weathered face with blue hair was revealed. This person was Brain, who had been wandering in various places.
He exerted force with his feet.
Brain easily stood up, shaking his shoulders and following leisurely.
As the town gradually disappeared behind the caravan.
The two adventurer teams escorting the entire caravan suddenly exchanged glances, raised their palms, and assumed a defensive posture.
In an instant, the entire caravan stopped simultaneously!
The ordinary members of the caravan looked around in a panic, clearly not expecting to be attacked as soon as they left the town.
"Come out."
"I've felt someone watching since we left the town. Sorry, your tracking skills are really poor."
The captain of one of the adventurer teams sneered and turned to look behind him:
"Will you come out yourself, or shall we invite you out?"
As they spoke!
Several adventurers had already picked up their weapons, their gazes fixed on a figure gradually appearing.
"Oh dear, I've been discovered."
Brain still maintained his casual, lazy demeanor, one hand in his pocket, the other reaching for the blue hair under his hood.
"Hmph!"
"Putting on an act, you weren't even trying to hide." The adventurer leader sneered. After seeing Brain appear, his eyes quickly scanned other directions instead.
He speculated that this guy was just a decoy, and the real enemy should be hidden elsewhere.
"No need to look."
"It's just me."
Brain slightly raised his head and waved his hand impatiently: "I'm really short on money lately, so I wanted to borrow some to spend."
"Could I trouble you all not to get in the way?"
The air grew cold!
"Captain, there's indeed no one around, just this guy."
The thief and the magic caster in the adventurer team had confirmed the surrounding situation and reported.
Although they couldn't observe further distances, there were definitely no signs of enemies in this nearby area.
"Captain?"
The report received no response. Several team members looked at their leader in confusion.
They saw.
The usually composed leader was staring intently at the figure opposite him, cold sweat appearing on his forehead, as if he had seen some terrifying enemy.
