…………
His Magic Type and Faith Caster categories could already use tenth-tier magic, so acquiring more Basic Job Classes for these two systems was of little significance.
Unless it was a Basic Job Class of immense value.
Because the next step up was the domain of super-tier magic, which had little to do with tier magic. Furthermore, there was a prerequisite for a player to reach Level 70.
Because after a player reached Level 70, they could learn one super-tier magic spell for every level they gained. In the game, a player could master a maximum of only 30 super-tier magic spells.
"Stop."
Withdrawing his gaze from the magic casters below, Tang Zheng spoke softly.
"Yes." Imina nodded, leaned half her head out the window, and gestured towards a direction in the courtyard below.
"You didn't find the magic casters you were looking for?" Imina could tell that Tang Zheng was not satisfied.
"Not enough."
Tang Zheng shook his head. He was about to say more but paused in thought.
In the Otherworld, the classification of different magic caster systems wasn't very clear. Furthermore, Imina, who wasn't a magic caster, wouldn't necessarily understand what "Mental Type" or "Other Type" magic casting was.
"What I need are casters who have mastered strange and unusual magical abilities, different from normal magic casters."
After briefly organizing his words, Tang Zheng continued.
A look of understanding appeared in Imina's eyes. "I see. Today is the great celebration. Perhaps among the many magic casters who have come from all over the country, there is a caster you need."
"I'll have to trouble you, Imina."
Tang Zheng said with a smile, but inwardly, he didn't expect to gather them all easily.
He was still short five Basic Job Classes each for the Mental Type and Other Type systems. It would not be a simple matter to complete them.
Actually, there was another way to reduce the number of Basic Job Classes needed.
That was to raise the [Genius] class to its max level of 15, which would reduce the number of job classes he needed to acquire.
However!
Compared to the cost in skill points, five levels were obviously more precious.
"The warehouses in the territories of the Six Great Nobles are in the process of being purchased. We've already bought a few locations. As for the rotten grain and other food, it's being prepared but will still take some time."
Imina continued, reporting on the second matter Tang Zheng had assigned her.
"Mm," Tang Zheng acknowledged.
He also knew that this matter was more complex and time-consuming, and couldn't be completed in just ten-odd days.
A smile appeared on Imina's face. "As for the demi-human slaves with the 'Wild Transformation' ability, I only managed to buy three. I don't know if that's enough."
Tang Zheng's gaze paused, and he looked at Imina in amusement. "I really want to praise you right now. You have the true bearing of a Worker."
"Cut it out."
Imina rolled her eyes, but the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.
This was one of the benefits of using the power of Eight Fingers. It made it easy to accomplish many things that would have been difficult and troublesome for an individual.
The three demi-human slaves were located in a hidden warehouse on the manor grounds.
The first thing that came into view were three two-meter-high metal cages, inside which were three emaciated figures similar in build to humans.
These three demi-humans had ape-like faces, long ears, and grey-brown fur all over their bodies, exuding an aura of wildness.
Despite their weak auras, upon seeing Tang Zheng and Imina, the three demi-humans still swung their arms to beat against the iron cages, producing dull "thud, thud" sounds.
"They do look quite a bit like monkeys."
This was the first time Tang Zheng had seen such a type of demi-human.
"They are hobgoblins, a close relative of goblins. A brutish race with low intelligence. These three are rare among their kind—hobgoblins who possess the abilities of a magic caster."
"According to information from the Smuggling Department and Slavery Division of Eight Fingers, they were reportedly captured from a demi-human tribe that was destroyed by the Slane Theocracy."
"Compared to ordinary, strong hobgoblins that can be used as labor, these three are a bit smarter, but perhaps because they are casters, they are frail and unable to perform physical labor."
Imina pointed at the three hobgoblins in the cages and explained:
"They're smarter than ordinary hobgoblins, which also makes them harder to tame. That's why they haven't been sold. You could say we got lucky and snagged a bargain."
In the depths of the Great Wetland.
In the Dense Forest where the Twin Witches once resided.
Tang Zheng threw the three weak hobgoblins, their bodies covered in whip marks and other wounds, onto the ground.
This time, he had not gone to the Lava Zone, because the environment there was not suitable for the experiment he was about to conduct. The Dense Forest, on the other hand, had all sorts of monsters that could be used directly as materials.
A streak of crimson light rose from the east.
Tang Zheng looked up, saw the sun already peeking over the eastern horizon, and narrowed his eyes. "Three years left!"
Year 3 Before the New Calendar, January 1st!
"Major Wound Healing!"
Tang Zheng raised his wrist and cast healing magic on one of the hobgoblins.
A pure white healing light was released.
The injuries on the hobgoblin's body healed rapidly, visible to the naked eye.
"Ugh!"
The moment the hobgoblin regained consciousness, it bared its sharp teeth, looked fiercely at Tang Zheng, and then turned to flee.
"Charm Species."
Tang Zheng calmly cast the spell.
The hobgoblin's movements froze, its gaze instantly turning vacant. It swayed its arms and stood obediently in place.
"This magic ritual is much more complex, but the materials are all prepared. Now, let's see how effective it is."
Tang Zheng took out the magic ritual he had obtained from the Forest Gnomes from his item box. He carefully scanned the ritual's contents, which he had already memorized, confirming that he hadn't missed any details.
This magic ritual allowed a Forest Gnome to abandon the full ability of "Wild Transformation" in exchange for the power to transform into a monster that surpassed its body's upper limit.
For example, the Forest Gnome named Dogan Stone Lizard had used this magic ritual to transform into a cockatrice, which was more powerful in both size and strength.
Although he had already seen a successful case, Tang Zheng still wanted to conduct another experiment to confirm and observe the specific details of the ritual.
The large quantity of alchemical materials he had been having Enri and the Twin Witches purchase recently was also in preparation for this.
Following the steps of the magic ritual, Tang Zheng set up the entire ritual step-by-step, only breathing a slight sigh of relief once it was complete.
