Chapter 62: Triggered! An Unexpected—High-Tier Job Class
Success!
Tang Zheng took a deep breath, a smile appearing on his face.
"Lord, you seem very happy today."
"Did something good happen?"
The Big Goblin Mokuguo, who was being carried, seemed to sense Tang Zheng's cheerful mood and spoke cautiously and fawningly.
"Later, I'll reward you with half of this rabbit meat," Tang Zheng said with a smile.
"Thank you, Lord!"
The Big Goblin Mokuguo's face lit up with excitement. He licked his lips and hastily replied.
Tang Zheng let go, tossing the Big Goblin Mokuguo with its broken leg into a nearby patch of grass, then prepared to pick up the plump rabbit.
Suddenly!
Tang Zheng's movements paused. He felt his own mana, which had unexpectedly started to stir, like a distinct current of heat.
This change couldn't help but make Tang Zheng freeze for a moment!
He had always been able to feel the existence of mana within his body, but this power had always been very docile. When he normally used magic, a portion of it would be consumed accordingly.
Beyond that, there had never been any other changes!
Tang Zheng had only ever thought of the mana in his body as a manifestation of his MP!
This sudden change caught Tang Zheng somewhat off guard.
"What's going on?" Tang Zheng's expression was one of alarm. He immediately raised his sword defensively and scanned his surroundings warily.
He suspected he might have been inadvertently poisoned or affected by some other debuff.
The restless feeling of the mana within him grew more and more pronounced. Fortunately, Tang Zheng himself didn't have much mana, so the sensation wasn't too intense.
Soon!
The surging mana seemed to suddenly reach some kind of critical point.
*Hummm—*
Tang Zheng's body trembled slightly as the stat panel automatically appeared before his eyes. A series of messages materialized on it.
*Job build requirements met.*
*Intermediate Job Class: Sword Saint 10 LV, Basic Job Class: Mage 10 LV*
*High-Tier Job Class Triggered: Magic Swordsman*
*Do you wish to acquire this job?*
Tang Zheng stared at the information displayed on his stat panel and couldn't help but blink.
This... triggered the job information for a high-tier job class?
Tang Zheng's gaze was filled with astonishment.
This was something completely outside his expectations.
He never thought a high-tier job class would appear under such circumstances. However, this also made the last trace of worry that had been lingering deep in his heart vanish completely.
Although he had previously deduced the preceding job build for "Valkyrie," he still had some doubts.
He wondered if, even after meeting all the job prerequisites, he would actually be able to trigger the job information for "Valkyrie."
But the current situation dispelled that concern.
"So, as long as the conditions for a job build are met, it can trigger the job information for a high-tier job class?"
"No, it shouldn't be that simple."
"High-tier job classes also vary in strength, to say nothing of special job classes. I'm afraid some of those jobs don't just require meeting the build prerequisites, but also need special items to acquire."
Tang Zheng mused inwardly.
For instance, Tang Zheng strongly suspected that the special job class "Asura," possessed by the Great Tomb's Floor Guardian Cocytus, was a job that required a special item to acquire.
"A Magic Swordsman, huh?"
A glint flashed in Tang Zheng's eyes. After a moment's thought, he didn't hesitate. "I'll take it!"
In any case, this was a high-tier job class!
Although it wasn't part of Tang Zheng's initial plan, high-tier job classes were pitifully rare in this otherworld. The increase to all his stats alone made it worthwhile.
*Hummm—*
*Job Acquisition Successful!*
Class: "Magic Swordsman"
Level: High-Tier Job Class
Effects:
Passive · "Sword and Magic": Can use Warrior skills and magic, and also gains the ability to use spellcaster equipment.
Passive · "Mana Infusion": Can draw upon the mana within the body and cover one's equipment with it, granting it a magic attribute. Can be combined with class skills.
Class Skill · "Mana Slash": Unleashes a ranged slash imbued with mana, dealing "100 + 20% Magic Attack" damage to the target (Cooldown: 60s).
(Note: For every level gained, HP, MP, Physical Attack, and Magic Attack increase by 15 points.)
Description: A class that possesses both melee attacks and ranged magic.
...
Tang Zheng sucked in a sharp breath.
As expected of a high-tier job class. Two passives and one class skill completely crushed an intermediate job class.
However!
As for these two passive effects...
Tang Zheng looked them over carefully, his expression turning a little strange.
"Sword and Magic" was of no use to him.
In the game, this effect might have been an excellent passive. Not only did it allow a Warrior class to use magic, but it also let them use spellcaster equipment.
It could be said to greatly increase a player's options. But in this otherworld, there were no equipment restrictions based on job, not to mention, he didn't need it anyway.
As for the "Mana Infusion" passive...
Imbuing purely physical equipment with a magic attribute—that was easy to understand.
The four basic elemental magic attributes were fire, wind, water, and earth. Since Tang Zheng hadn't mastered any magic or jobs related to these four elements, his current magic attribute was "non-elemental."
It could be compared to the Paladin's class skill, "Holy Strike."
A Paladin could infuse their weaponry with the power of the holy attribute to deal holy-attribute damage to a target.
"Mana Infusion" had a similar effect.
For some undead monsters like specters, pure physical attacks couldn't harm them, but an attack imbued with a magic attribute could.
After carefully examining the information on the "Magic Swordsman" class, an "as expected" expression appeared on Tang Zheng's face. This class looked good, but upon closer inspection, it was actually a rather mediocre job.
"After all, the prerequisites were very simple to meet. Naturally, it was impossible to get a powerful high-tier job class."
Although Tang Zheng had somewhat anticipated this, he was still a little disappointed.
However!
High-tier job classes can only be leveled up five times. Even if used just to raise his base stats, it was a guaranteed net gain.
Besides, this class could also increase his mana, and mana was what Tang Zheng lacked the most right now.

Tang Zheng suddenly noticed that the "Specialty" stat on his attribute sheet had increased by 20 points.
