Chapter 63: An Alternative Use for the New Passive - The Alchemy Potion is a Success!
November 18, 2024 Author: Amnesty L
He felt a sense of power he hadn't experienced in a long time.
Tang Zheng stretched, allowing his body to adapt to this new surge of power.
Especially his Magic Power.
With 28 points of Magic Power, he could finally use Fourth-Tier magic!
Previously, he had raised "Heating" to the Fourth Tier, but due to his lack of Magic Power, he couldn't use it at all.
Now, this problem was finally resolved.
Magic Swordsman!
Regarding information about this job, Tang Zheng remembered that someone in the Great Tomb of Nazarick also seemed to possess this job.
After careful recollection, Tang Zheng quickly remembered who it was.
Bellriver, one of the 41 Supreme Beings in the Great Tomb.
He was a Heteromorphic of a race whose entire body was covered in mouths, whose physique was a mound of flesh, and who possessed four arms, holding two staves and two longswords respectively. His job designation was that of a magic warrior.
However, among the 41 Supreme Beings, his strength was only considered second-rate; he relied entirely on his excellent player skills and positioning to play a decent role in team fights.
From this, it could also be seen that the magic warrior type, due to its lack of specialized abilities, was considered a rather mediocre job build.
This couldn't be helped in the Game.
After all, with only 100 levels, if one specialized in Warrior, magic-type jobs could only be used as support.
However!
This wasn't an issue for Tang Zheng; after all, the "Genius" trait could compensate for it.
The reason he remembered the information about this player, Bellriver, so clearly was because this guy was the only one among the 41 Supreme Being players confirmed to have died in the real world.
Moreover, it wasn't a natural death; it was because he had acquired dangerous information about a certain world-class large conglomerate in the real world of "Overlord," and was subsequently silenced.
This was also why Tang Zheng had such a deep impression of him.
He bent down.
Tang Zheng lifted the fat wild rabbit, swung his longsword, and its abdomen was slit open, causing the bloody internal organs to gush out all at once.
Big Goblin Mokuguo, who had been waiting nearby, quickly crawled over, picked up the internal organs from the ground, and devoured them heartily.
"Heating."
As a streak of red light flashed, consuming 1 point of Magic Power, Tang Zheng used the Tier 0 "Heating."
The fur on the fat wild rabbit's body was rapidly scorched by the high heat, curling and shrinking. Under the influence of the high temperature, the fur spontaneously turned to ash and fell off.
In just one minute, the entire wild rabbit was roasted, giving off a steaming hot aroma.
Tang Zheng did a quick cleanup, then found a large tree and leaned against its thick trunk to eat.
This was a vigilant posture taken to guard against sudden attacks from behind.
Although with Tang Zheng's current strength, there shouldn't be any Monster on the outskirts of the forest that could pose a threat to him, his vigilance could not be relaxed.
It was unseasoned.
The roasted rabbit meat tasted quite ordinary.
Tang Zheng picked out the more tender parts of the meat, then threw the greater half of the remaining roasted wild rabbit to Big Goblin Mokuguo, who had been waiting with eager eyes.
Watching Big Goblin Mokuguo excitedly gnawing on the wild rabbit while lying on the ground, Tang Zheng's gaze was silent.
According to the traditions of his old world, Tang Zheng planned to let the other party eat his fill before killing him.
Currently, his "Genius" job level had already met the requirements, so Tang Zheng naturally had no further need to remain in the Touv Great Forest!
"No rush, eat slowly."
A rare, faint smile appeared on Tang Zheng's face as he spoke to Big Goblin Mokuguo.
"Thank you, mmph, Lord," Big Goblin Mokuguo mumbled indistinctly, his mouth stuffed full.
Tang Zheng withdrew his gaze from Big Goblin Mokuguo, one hand in his pocket, the other lifting his iron sword.
Taking this opportunity, he decided to experiment with the effect of his "Mana Infusion" passive.
As a thought stirred in his mind, Tang Zheng clearly felt the Magic Power within his body gathering toward the iron sword in his hand.
Immediately after!
A layer of semi-transparent, somewhat dazzling magical radiance appeared on the iron sword's surface.
"It's not just imbuing a magical attribute; its sharpness also seems to have increased somewhat."
Tang Zheng watched the iron sword's changes, a light shining in his eyes.
Crack—
Suddenly!
A faint crack appeared on the iron sword's surface. Before Tang Zheng could react, this subtle crack rapidly spread across the surface of the blade.
In just the span of two breaths, the entire iron sword was already covered in cracks!
Accompanied by a soft "crack," under Tang Zheng's astonished gaze, the iron sword shattered into irregular iron shards that scattered onto the ground!
"This is..."
Tang Zheng held the remaining sword hilt, feeling a bit bewildered.
"L-Lord? What happened?" Big Goblin Mokuguo heard the commotion, raised his head, and asked blankly.
Tang Zheng casually waved his hand, gazing at the shards on the ground as he fell into thought.
"It couldn't withstand the power of 'Mana Infusion'?"
Soon!
As if having thought of something, Tang Zheng took the mithril dagger from his item box and performed Mana Infusion.
This time, the dagger did not shatter as the iron sword had.
"So, it really is a problem with the materials."
"Only special metals that can conduct Magic Power, like mithril, orichalcum, and adamantite, are able to withstand the 'Mana Infusion' ability."
"What a waste of an iron sword."
After understanding the reason, Tang Zheng took another one from his item box.
He hadn't expected the "Mana Infusion" ability to be so overbearing as to have restrictions on the weapon's materials!
In the Game, there shouldn't have been such restrictions.
But in a real world, such an ability had clearly become more refined.
"In the end, it's just a technique of forcibly infusing Magic Power into a weapon."
Wait! Refined?
A thought sparked in Tang Zheng's mind.
Since this was the real world, the "Mana Infusion" ability couldn't possibly be limited to only enchanting equipment, like in the Game.
Tang Zheng raised his palm, feeling the Magic Power within his body, controlling this power as it gathered in the center of his palm.
In an instant, a semi-transparent magical energy, emitting a faint bluish radiance, appeared in Tang Zheng's palm!
"This is how it should be!"
"This isn't a game; it's a real power system. How could Magic Power possibly be limited to only a few applications!"
Tang Zheng's eyes gleamed with brilliance.
The next moment!
Tang Zheng took out the previously abandoned alchemical solution from his item box.
The normal creation of healing potions required both magic and herbs, and this principle was equally applicable to alchemical solutions!
However, Tang Zheng had previously lacked such a method. The appearance of "Mana Infusion" made him realize it might be applicable here.
He brought the waterskin, containing the inferior alchemical solution made from a Gallows Spider's poison sac, before him.
"Mana Infusion!"
Tang Zheng mobilized the Magic Power within his body, slowly infusing it into the alchemical solution.
The solution, which originally looked murky and was pervaded by a foul stench, surprisingly began to gradually emit a faint layer of magical radiance under the infusion of Magic Power.
It works!
Tang Zheng's eyes lit up, and he quickly continued to infuse the alchemical solution.
1 point of Magic Power!
2 points of Magic Power!
…………
4 points of Magic Power!
5 points of Magic Power!
As the Magic Power continued to be infused, the alchemical solution, which was originally very murky and gave off a foul stench, gradually began to clear, and the entire solution's color started to turn blue.
After consuming 5 points of Magic Power, equivalent to the Magic Power cost of a First-Tier magic spell, the alchemical solution's color had completely turned blue, looking clear and transparent.
Furthermore, the solution that had originally filled the waterskin had shrunk to about one-third of its original volume.
Looking closely, one could see the alchemical solution in the waterskin faintly emitting a trace of blue luster.
"Item Appraisal!" Tang Zheng quickly cast the appraisal.
……
Item: Magic · Alchemical Solution (Paralysis Potion)
Level: Lowest Grade
Description: Inflicts the "Paralysis" debuff on the target, lasting for 10 minutes. (Potion effect degrades after 30 days)
……
Looking at the alchemical solution in the waterskin, a look of pleasant surprise appeared on Tang Zheng's face.
It had actually succeeded.
"The Potion Master job should also be able to utilize the 'Mana Infusion' ability. It's just that issues like combining various herbs and determining dosages are still unavoidable."
"It's far less convenient than directly using alchemy."
Tang Zheng was somewhat excited. A thought stirred in his mind, and he continued to infuse Magic Power into the waterskin.
He wanted to see what changes would occur if he continued to infuse Magic Power into the alchemical solution!
