Just!
Tang Zheng remembered that when he saw the "Papermaking" skill having two different Magic Scrolls, he had specifically asked a member of the Magic Caster Guild about it.
But the person hadn't mentioned a "second-tier Papermaking" at all! Logically speaking, there was no need to hide something like "Papermaking," which had no offensive capabilities and couldn't be used in combat.
"Lowest Grade Alchemical Material."
Tang Zheng looked at the last sentence in the appraisal information, lost in thought.
Researching everyday magic was nothing more than analyzing higher-level magic or increasing the convenience of life.
If "Tier 0 Papermaking" was simply for everyday life, then "Tier 1 Papermaking" was specifically for nobles to distinguish themselves from commoners.
Or to use better paper to make books for writing, etc.
In fact, the level of paper produced by "Tier 1 Papermaking" was already similar to that of his previous life. At this level, it was enough to meet normal daily and living needs.
The people of this other world had actually developed "Tier 2 Papermaking," which, upon closer inspection, was completely unnecessary.
"Papermaking" was not a tiered magic passed down from the Eight Greed Kings era, but was independently developed by the people of this other world, forcibly developing this everyday magic to the second tier.
The time and energy spent by the people of this other world must have been unimaginable.
From a Magic Caster's point of view, with this energy, they could completely learn other second-tier magic, or even aim for the third-tier Magic Caster level.
From the pragmatic perspective of humans in this other world, there was also no need for this.
So, the only explanation for this result was that there was a "demand"! Alchemical materials? Tang Zheng thought about it carefully, but found no clues, and gently shook his head, choosing to put it out of his mind for the time being.
Suddenly.
Tang Zheng seemed to notice something unusual, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
He saw that after the "Heating" and "Papermaking" magic, there was actually a "↑" symbol.
"How is this possible?" Tang Zheng looked as if he had seen something unbelievable, his face full of astonishment.
Levels 1-7 - First-Tier Magic!
Levels 8-14 - Second-Tier Magic! According to the Genius's 9LV level, when converted to other Magic Caster professions, he should only be able to use second-tier magic.
"Heating" and "Papermaking" could actually increase in tier, what was going on? Tang Zheng's eyes were filled with deep confusion. After a brief hesitation, he chose to consume a Skill Point on the magic "Heating."
Skill: Heating (Tier 3)↑
Cost: 15MP Introduction: Heats the contacted object to 600℃ within 1 minute, instantly heating it to 200℃.
...
Tang Zheng was still stunned.
He was not surprised by the more powerful effect shown after the "Heating" magic was upgraded again, but by the fact that it could actually increase in tier.
He consumed 1 more Skill Point.
...
Skill: Heating (Tier 4) Cost: 20MP Introduction: Heats the contacted object to 1200℃ within 1 minute, instantly heating it to 400℃.
...
Hiss~ Tang Zheng took a breath of cold air. The "Heating" at the fourth tier was already a bit terrifying.
A high temperature of 1200 degrees Celsius was enough to easily melt steel, and was even close to the temperature of magma! Not to mention, it could instantly raise the temperature by 400 degrees Celsius, which was already a considerable amount of destructive power!
This time, there was no "↑" symbol. Seeing this, Tang Zheng pondered and roughly understood what was going on.
"The Magic Caster professions that can be converted by the Genius can actually be calculated based on the Comprehensive Level of the Magic Caster Level?" Tang Zheng couldn't help but mutter to himself in surprise.
He originally thought that the Genius could only be calculated as a basic profession, but the current situation was obviously not the case!
The reason why the "Heating" magic rose to the fourth tier in one go was naturally because it met the requirements of the fourth-tier magic (levels 22-28).
The only possibility for this situation was that among the magic-based professions that the Genius could currently convert to.
The levels of the three magic-based professions, "Magic Caster 9LV," "Alchemist 9LV," and "Apothecary 9LV," were added together.
A total of 27 levels of Magic Caster Level! Although the Alchemist and Apothecary classes are positioned as production classes in YGGDRASIL, they are cast through Mana, so they are considered Mana-based.
That's right!
The Genius class can actually calculate the included basic classes, especially Magic Caster classes, according to the Comprehensive Level.
Such a hidden ability is meaningless for Warrior-type basic classes, but for Magic Caster classes, it is simply a cheat-like existence! In the YGGDRASIL game, Magic Casters are divided into four systems, and different systems are calculated separately! For example.
Magic Caster 7LV + Priest 1LV = Comprehensive Level 8LV. One of these classes is Mana-based, and the other is Faith-based. According to the Magic Caster Level, level 8 can use second-tier magic.
But in reality, with such a class structure, Players can only use first-tier Mana-based magic and first-tier Faith-based magic.
Therefore! Players in YGGDRASIL will only specialize in one Magic Caster system.
To cast tenth-tier magic of a certain system, one can only choose one system from the four Magic Caster systems of Mana-based, Faith-based, Mental-based, and Other-based, and raise the Magic Caster Level to at least 64.
And the remaining 36 levels are not enough to build another Magic Caster system.
"Phew~"
Tang Zheng took a deep breath and rubbed his temples, which were a little swollen from the excitement just now.
He originally thought that the Genius class was just converting basic classes, and there were no attribute bonuses or abilities possessed by the converted class.
It was like putting on an empty shell of a basic class for disguise.
Unexpectedly, there is such a hidden ability! Genius is a general class, a type of basic class, and the highest level can reach 15.
Therefore! You only need to master five basic classes in a certain Magic Caster system, or four basic classes plus one intermediate class.
You can easily meet the requirements of the Magic Caster system for "tenth-tier magic."
In other words, Tang Zheng can completely use this clever method to max out the Magic Caster Levels of the four systems: Mana-based, Faith-based, Mental-based, and Other-based.
This is why Tang Zheng calls this ability a cheat in his heart.
Even in the YGGDRASIL game, such an ability is a very rare situation!
That's right, it's "rare," not nonexistent!
In the light novel version, Bone King once mentioned that the "special class" that the Illusionist class can eventually take on has the strongest illusion unique to this class.
It is said that it can cast illusions on the entire world, thereby achieving the extent of deceiving the world and creating a false reality! In the game, it can disguise its constructed Mana-based system as the other three Magic Caster systems.
