Higher Base Stats, Acquisition of Four Magic Items

"Higher Base Stats, Four Magic Items Obtained. Are you guys weaker than me?"

The Thief man heard the surprised tone, laced with a hint of astonishment, which ignited his anger while also making him feel uneasy.

This black-haired kid is trouble! He's clearly a Magic Caster, but his skills are no weaker than mine.

My attack was easily blocked?

A look of disbelief appeared in the Thief man's eyes.

Bang! Tang Zheng stomped hard on the ground and quickly charged towards the Thief man. Now was not the time for idle chatter.

"Looking for death!" The Thief man roared in anger as he saw Tang Zheng launching an attack. He raised his left hand, reached to his waist, and a short Dagger appeared in his hand, which he threw at Tang Zheng.

Whoosh! A sharp sound of air being cut rang out.

Tang Zheng scanned with his eyes and easily tracked the Dagger's trajectory. He swung the Short Sword in his hand, knocking the flying Dagger to the ground.

However, this slowed his forward momentum.

"Stealth!"

The Thief man muttered, and in the already dark environment, his body quickly became blurred, as if he were merging into the night.

Tang Zheng immediately became vigilant, but the next moment, a look of astonishment appeared on his face.

He saw that.

The Thief man didn't attack; instead, he turned and ran.

I can't let him escape!

This thought flashed through Tang Zheng's mind instantly. He raised his hand and aimed forward: "Magic Arrow!"

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Three Magic Arrows condensed in mid-air and shot rapidly towards the Thief man's direction.

The rapid sound behind him forced the Thief man, who was preparing to escape, to stop and roll to the side to dodge.

Taking advantage of this gap, Tang Zheng caught up.

"Four Light Consecutive Slash!"

In an instant, the Short Sword in Tang Zheng's hand transformed into four afterimages, stabbing towards the Thief man.

Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff! Four spurts of blood bloomed on the front of the opponent's chest, causing the Thief man to let out a shrill scream.

However! Due to the effect of the magic Silence, the man's screams could not be heard.

"You, you..."

The Thief man's eyes were bloodshot, and he lay on the ground covered in blood. "How is it possible, Gazef's..."

Before he could finish speaking!

The Thief man completely lost his breath.

『Gained 380 experience』

"Hoo."

"Hoo."

Tang Zheng panted heavily, looking at the corpse on the ground, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking at the blood on his clothes and the blood droplets sliding down the blade of the Short Sword, Tang Zheng was silent for a moment.

He killed two people at once.

This was something Tang Zheng had never imagined before. He had indeed anticipated that he would kill people in the future, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly.

Disgust?

No.

Guilt? Also no.

Instead, there was a kind of natural feeling.

"What a terrible, hateful world." Tang Zheng muttered under his breath.

He raised his head.

Tang Zheng quickly scanned the surroundings of the street, finding no one in sight throughout the entire process.

These two guys really picked a good spot! Tang Zheng wiped the blood from his cheek, quickly walked to the two corpses, and put them into his Item Box.

He even collected the blood-stained paving stones.

This Item Box, similar to a spatial backpack, had no restrictions other than being unable to store living things.

After cleaning up the scene.

Tang Zheng quickly left the area and returned to the small inn.

While passing through a small alley, Tang Zheng went in, put away his blood-stained clothes, and changed into a clean set.

Thankfully.

He had bought a large number of ordinary clothes beforehand, so he wouldn't be left without anything to wear.

Inside the small inn.

"Oh, the guest is back." The innkeeper, a somewhat plump middle-aged woman with freckles named Marysi, said.

"Ms. Marysi."

Tang Zheng smiled warmly, nodded to Marysi, and walked towards his room on the second floor.

"Ha~" Marysi yawned as she watched Tang Zheng go upstairs. "Such a polite young man."

Click! As the door closed,

A look of exhaustion appeared on Tang Zheng's face.

With a total of 13 mana points, he had used "Magic Arrow" twice in a row and could no longer cast any more magic. If that Thief had escaped, he would have had considerable trouble ahead.

Fortunately, "Four Light Consecutive Slash" finished him off.

Tang Zheng hadn't had the opportunity to use it before. After using the Martial Arts this time, he finally understood what the consumed "Concentration" was.

Accurately speaking, it was a consumption of "energy," like running a 200m sprint in his previous life. It wasn't extremely tiring, but he could definitely feel the fatigue.

Most importantly!

Through this unexpected battle, Tang Zheng had a clearer understanding of his own strength.

The black-robed Magic Caster could use the second-tier magic "Shield Wall," so his level was obviously above level seven, but not too high.

The Thief with him should be at a similar level.

Under normal circumstances.

Tang Zheng was only level 5. Facing the two's combined attack, even with the element of surprise, he should have been completely suppressed.

But the result...

It was one thing that the black-robed Magic Caster didn't use his advantages, but in Tang Zheng's eyes, the Thief was weaker than him in terms of both speed and strength.

There was only one reason for this! That was that Tang Zheng's base stats were higher than the Thief's! "Because the 'Genius' talent doesn't increase base stats, I put all my experience into the intermediate class 'Sword Saint'."

"People in this other world don't have such convenient Player abilities, so most of them can only improve their base classes, and it's unknown if they even have intermediate classes."

Tang Zheng's own stats appeared in his mind, and he thought about his 53 points in physical attack and 53 points in agility, and he understood somewhat: "In this case, my base stats should be higher than the normal level of a level 7 human in this other world."

Next—

Tang Zheng's mind flickered, and a dark brown Magic Staff, a shimmering white necklace, a Short Staff, and a Dagger with a faint purple glow appeared on the bed.

Four magical items! Besides these four items, the two men didn't carry a single Copper Coin, let alone anything to prove their identities.

He wondered if it was a rule of Eight Fingers, or just a habit of the two when capturing prey? If it was the former, then Eight Fingers was much more terrifying than it appeared in the anime! "It's a pity I haven't mastered the 'Item Appraisal' magic, otherwise I could learn the specific effects of these four magical items."

Tang Zheng glanced at the magical items on the bed and sighed to himself.

The only thing he was sure of was that the Short Staff with the "Silence" effect still had magical power fluctuations, so it should still have uses left.

There were quite a few Magic Casters who had mastered "Item Appraisal," but if he took these magical items to be appraised right after dealing with Eight Fingers' people, it would easily attract Eight Fingers' attention.

Those people were very vengeful.

Tang Zheng didn't have time to play with these people.

"Tomorrow, I might have to go to the Magic Caster Guild again," Tang Zheng thought.

With a wave of his hand!

He put the four magic items on the bed back into his Item Box and took out the remaining three Magic Scrolls.

"Papermaking," "Heating," and "Odorless"! He tore each of the three Magic Scrolls and then spent Skill Points to learn them.

Fortunately, these three Magic Scrolls were all auxiliary magic and wouldn't cause as much commotion as "Magic Arrow."

"Odorless" could eliminate his own scent, which could avoid a lot of trouble when going into the forest next time.

"Papermaking" goes without saying.

"Heating" was something Tang Zheng decided to buy on the spur of the moment to confirm his guess. It didn't matter if his guess was wrong.

After all, this magic was still very convenient, allowing Adventurers to heat food and water without having to light a fire and expose themselves.

All in all, it was a must-have for the wilderness!
