Chapter 261: Buddha God? One More to Go, Leaving the Royal Capital
After fulfilling the requirements for the "Other Type" category, Tang Zheng also acquired several Mental-type magic caster jobs.
As expected of the center of the entire Kingdom.
Coupled with the celebration, there were indeed Mental-type magic casters among the people who had come from all over the Kingdom and even other countries to participate.
Imina had spent a considerable amount of effort during this time. After all, while many forms of magic looked miraculous or peculiar, they mostly belonged to Magic-type jobs.
Mental Type:
【Monk】·「Detection Interference」(Second Tier): Deploys an invisible barrier that can evade detection.
【Buddha God Follower】·「Buddha Light Wave」(Second Tier): Releases a pale golden shockwave of Buddha light that deals immense, specialized damage to the undead.
【Diviner】·「Directional Sense」(First Tier): Allows one to ascertain their current location.

His luck was pretty good.
From a man dressed as a monk, Tang Zheng had obtained two Mental-type magic caster jobs at once: 【Monk】 and 【Buddha God Follower】.
This style of dress, so different from the usual humans of this Otherworld, made Tang Zheng feel a pang of nostalgia. He recalled that Monk-type jobs were extremely rare.
The only one mentioned in the light novel version was an adventurer named Yun Qing from the Baharuth Empire's adamantite-rank adventurer team, "Silver Thread Bird," who possessed this job.
The concept of "Buddha" did not exist in this Otherworld; it was clearly something brought by a Player.
According to that monk, the so-called "Buddha God" was a deity worshiped only in extremely remote regions, a little-known god who was a subordinate of the Six Great Gods.
Tang Zheng would not be fooled by such information.
Neither the "Six Great Gods" nor the "Eight Greed Kings" had any mention of this type of magic caster.
Was it an NPC like the Floor Guardian Shalltear?
Or was it something brought by other Players over the last 600 years? If so, the concept of a "Buddha God" shouldn't be so obscure.
He couldn't rule out the possibility of someone like the Bone King, a cautious old schemer. In reality, the Bone King had also caused quite a stir.
"This world has too many hidden secrets."
The thought flashed through Tang Zheng's mind. He withdrew his gaze from the numerous magic casters and turned to leave the castle's spacious courtyard.
"The covert operation to invite magic casters is over."
"Yes."
Imina, who followed closely behind Tang Zheng, nodded immediately. Her amber eyes gazed at his gentle profile. "It's good that you've gained something."
Even now, Imina had no idea why Tang Zheng had gone to such great lengths to find these magic casters, only to glance at them once and pay them no further mind. What was he trying to do? Or who was he looking for?
Though she was filled with questions, Imina had no intention of prying.
"You... you're leaving, aren't you?" Imina asked suddenly, her slender arms tightening across her chest.
She had spent a fair amount of time with Tang Zheng, yet she knew she had never truly understood him. She was, however, clear on one thing: Tang Zheng did not like to stay in one place for long.
The reason he had stayed in the Royal Capital for so long this time, aside from his secret arrangements, was likely because he was waiting for her to finish her business.
"The warehouses in the territories of the Kingdom's major nobles have all been purchased. All that's left is to wait for them to be filled with rotten grain and other food."
Tang Zheng nodded and spoke softly.
The three tasks he had assigned to Imina were essentially complete. As for the magic caster jobs from each system:
Magic Type: Potion Master, Alchemist, Mage, Necromancer, Warlock, Illusionist, Court Mage.
Faith Type: Priestess, Priest, Forest Priest, Cleric, High Priestess, Priest, Beast Speaker.
Mental Type: Wizard, Witch, Monk, Buddha God Follower, Diviner.
Other Type: Shaman, Summoner, Monster Summoner, Tattoo Master, Bard, Paladin, Tunnel Doctor.
…………
The stacked level of the basic jobs for the Magic, Faith, and Other Type systems already fully met the requirements for Tenth Tier magic.
Only the "Mental Type" had just five jobs. According to the "64-70 Lv" requirement for the Tenth Tier, he was still two jobs short.
Wait!
A glint appeared in Tang Zheng's eyes. Based on the requirements to cast Tenth Tier magic, he should only be one basic Mental-type job short.
Among the passives for 【Mad Mage】 was a passive ability called "Spellcasting System Selection," which allowed him to freely switch between the four systems.
If he obtained one more basic Mental-type job, its stacked level, combined with the 【Mad Mage】 passive, could reach Level 65, completely satisfying the requirements for Tenth Tier magic.
"Just one more basic job."
Tang Zheng felt a faint stir of excitement. With just one more basic job, he would find out if he could trigger a new high-tier job.
But where was he supposed to find this job?
The Slane Theocracy? The Baharuth Empire?
These were the two places Tang Zheng knew for sure had Mental-type casters, but he currently had no magic marks in either country.
He didn't want to make contact with the Slane Theocracy just yet. As for the Baharuth Empire, without a magic mark, using teleportation to get there would require several stops.
Right.
There was one other place, which was also his next destination—the Abelion Hills.
"Do you still have any of that wine from last time?" Imina's crisp voice sounded from beside him.
Tang Zheng returned to his senses. He knew Imina was referring to the dwarven-made wine he had given her on the day of the celebration.
"I have a few bottles left." Tang Zheng recalled that he still had several bottles stored in his item box.
Imina's spirits lifted. Her eyes flickered a few times before she feigned a calm expression and said softly, "Would you like to have a drink together?"
"Alright."
Tang Zheng pondered for a moment, then nodded with a light chuckle. "Then let's go to Leinas's place."
"Huh?"
The light in Imina's eyes froze slightly.
Before she could say anything more, Tang Zheng had already placed a hand on her shoulder, and the two of them vanished in an instant.
As dusk approached, the eastern sky was gradually stained by the night.
Inside the noble courtyard where Leinas resided.
A thick smell of alcohol permeated the air in the room.
Dwarves have a natural love for wine, so they pursue intensity over flavor.
Leinas and Imina were slumped over the dining table, looking like they had passed out long ago.
