"This is..."
Imina's eyes couldn't help but widen.
The magic leather pouch was stuffed full of various colored gems, mostly red ones. Among them, several gems were even shimmering with the light of magic power.
They were clearly precious magical gems.
Seeing Imina's astonished expression, unable to look away, Tang Zheng chuckled softly.
Indeed, women have always liked shiny things. In that respect, they were just like the Dragon Race.
These gems were, of course, the relics of an ancient red dragon.
During his journey to the Royal Capital, Tang Zheng would return to the lava zone at night. It had taken him a great deal of time to finally find the ancient red dragon's lair.
Inside was a huge pile of treasure. As for its specific value...
Tang Zheng had no way of calculating it. The cave was mainly filled with various gems, special red ore, and gold coins. Unfortunately, there wasn't a single magic item, which disappointed him somewhat.
The value of the various gems and ores was difficult to estimate, and the same was true for the vast amount of gold coins.
Because the ancient red dragon seemed to enjoy sleeping on the gold coins and gems, almost all the gold coins had been melted by the high temperature, forming small, piled-up mountains of gold.
"You said it," a smile appeared on Imina's face. She put away the magic leather pouch and had just taken a step forward when she suddenly remembered something. She turned her head, her eyes half-lidded.
"By the way, who are those two girls with you? According to the rumors, they've joined your Adventurer Team?"
She and Leinas had both wanted to join Tang Zheng's Adventurer Team back then, but they had been rejected by this guy.
"Do you want to meet them?" Tang Zheng shrugged, then added, "I told you, my Adventurer Team isn't recruiting."
Hearing this answer.
A satisfied look flashed in Imina's eyes. She raised an arm and waved it. "Never mind then."
"Give me your hand," Tang Zheng said suddenly.
"Huh?" Imina froze.
Tang Zheng reached out directly and grasped Imina's hand.
A little soft, and a little cold.
The thought flashed through Tang Zheng's mind. A faint white light appeared in his palm, leaving a magical mark on Imina's body before he let go of her hand.
"Wh-what are you doing?"
Imina's delicate cheeks flushed red. She subconsciously took a step back, her voice a little nervous and stuttering as she spoke.
"It's nothing, just a little magic. This will make it easier for me to find you if something comes up," Tang Zheng said calmly.
"Hmph."
Imina snorted softly. Her figure was already at the window. She picked up her raincoat again, threw it on, and leaped out the window, disappearing into the rainy mist.
"Seriously, why use the window?"
Tang Zheng grumbled to himself, then a thoughtful expression appeared on his face as he considered what to do next.
The three tasks he had given Imina were all very important. Since he had money and the controllable faction of Eight Fingers at his disposal...
...there was no reason not to use them!
Even if someone with ulterior motives noticed, they would only trace it back to Eight Fingers. Even if factions within Eight Fingers investigated...
...they would never be able to connect these three unrelated tasks. At most, they would suspect Imina's backer—that powerful magic caster who controlled corpses and bone dragons.
As for him, the genius alchemist who could summon an angel, he was of course completely unrelated.
If these three tasks were to be prioritized, the first was the most important.
The purpose of the second task was mainly for Tang Zheng to experiment with the magic ritual he had obtained from Duogan of the Forest Gnomes.
The purpose of the third task was to provide food for the goblins being raised in the Touv Great Forest. After all, the more goblins there were, the greater the impact on the Touv Great Forest.
Tang Zheng had no intention of letting anyone notice the situation in the Touv Great Forest, so he could only obtain food from the outside to provide for the farmed goblins.
And the first task was the one he was currently most concerned about!
...
Mana-based System: Potion Master, Alchemist, Magic Caster, Necromancer, Warlock
Faith Caster: Priestess, Priest, Forest Priest, Cleric
Spirit System: Wizard, Witch
Other System: Shaman, Summoner
...
This was the number of jobs he currently possessed in each magic system.
Back then, he had obtained the [Mad Mage] class by meeting the prerequisites of the basic job classes in each system:
Mana-based System · 15 Lv
Faith-based System · 15 Lv
Spirit System · 15 Lv
Other System · 15 Lv
A total job level requirement of 60.
Tang Zheng had previously speculated that if the classes in each magic system reached Level 20, for a total job level of 80, it might trigger a new high-tier job class.
He deduced this because if a second, related high-tier job class existed, then [Unknown High-Tier Job Class] + [Mad Mage] would occupy ten job levels.
The remaining 90 levels, spread across the four magic class systems, would only be 22.5 levels each.
Clearly, Level 20 was the most reasonable assumption, at least by the game's logic.
As it turned out.
The combination of his current four magic class systems already met the Level 20 condition, yet he hadn't obtained a new class.
While Tang Zheng was disappointed, a crazy idea suddenly popped into his head. Just because it was impossible in the game didn't mean it was impossible in this otherworld.
If he raised all four class systems to the level of the Tenth Tier, "64~70 Lv," would he be able to obtain a new class?
This was a situation that was absolutely impossible in the game!
If not for the [Genius] class, unique to this otherworld, it would be impossible for anyone, whether in the game or this world, to raise four magic class systems to the level of tenth-tier magic!
"I have to try it at least once. Even if I don't get a new class, raising all four class systems to the Tenth Tier is part of the plan anyway."
Tang Zheng's fingers tapped lightly on the table, his eyes shimmering.
