Three days ago, Tang Zheng had already raised his 'Genius' level to eight, so his Magic Caster Level already met the requirements for using Second-Tier Magic.
In particular, he finally got his wish to master the Second-Tier Magic Item Appraisal.
However!
The Mana consumed by Second-Tier Magic also increased, requiring 10 points of Mana.
Tang Zheng had too little Mana, and could only use Second-Tier Magic once each time. Including the Mana recovery time, he could only use it twice a day!
Therefore, Tang Zheng spent two days finally figuring out the appraisal information of the magical items he had obtained before.
Item: Magic Item - Armor - Guardian Necklace

...

...

...

Passive - Increases 'Thrust' damage by 10 points.

...
Under the Item Appraisal, Tang Zheng finally figured out the information of the four magic items.
Among these four items, apart from the Mithril Dagger not being very suitable for Tang Zheng's current combat style, the other three items could be used.
Among them, the most valuable was the Arcane Staff! Even Tang Zheng was a little surprised that it could increase the speed of Mana recovery.
Although this effect was somewhat better than nothing...
Such magical equipment would cost at least 1000 Gold Coins!
You must know.
Although there were healing potions in the YGGDRASIL game that could restore HP, there were no potions that could restore Mana.
This was different from the games Tang Zheng played in his previous life.
For Magic Casters in YGGDRASIL, it was no exaggeration to say that Mana was their lifeline.
Therefore, all Magic Casters would prepare magic items to speed up Mana recovery.
In addition.
In YGGDRASIL, different classes could not use the weapons of other classes.
Even after the Great Tomb of Nazarick descended on another world, this rule was still retained by the Bone King and the others.
But people in this other world didn't have such limitations.
Even Magic Casters could wield short swords, or even draw bows.
Tang Zheng was naturally the same; the class restrictions in Item Appraisal had no effect on him.
In this situation...
That Item Appraisal could actually identify "class restrictions," data that didn't exist in this other world, showed that the information Item Appraisal identified was also related to the user's perception to some extent.
At that moment.
Besides Item Appraisal, Tang Zheng had two more Second-Tier Magic spells.
That's right, it was those two Zero-Tier Magic spells.
After his Magic Caster Level increased, Heating and Papermaking also reappeared with the "↑" mark.
He spent one Skill Point each to upgrade the two spells to the Second Tier.
Skill: Papermaking (Second Tier)↑
Consumption: 10 MP
Description: Creates 700 sheets of High-Quality Paper.
...
Skill: Heating (Second Tier)↑
Consumption: 10 MP
Description: Heats the contacted object to 300°C within 1 minute, instantly heating it to 100°C.
...
The changes were quite obvious after these two spells were upgraded to the Second Tier, especially Heating. It was clearly just the most ordinary life-skill magic at first, but now that it had been upgraded to the Second Tier...
The ability to instantly heat a contacted object to 100°C already demonstrated the spell's offensive capabilities! A high temperature of 100 degrees Celsius was enough to damage the human body, and it could instantly kill ordinary people, but normal Second-Tier Magic could also easily do that.
The key was this spell's potential for growth.
Most importantly! Life-skill magic didn't belong to the system magic in the YGGDRASIL game at all, so the Great Tomb of Nazarick had no relevant information about it.
The other one was Papermaking.
It originally could create 800 sheets of paper, and after releasing the magic, it could continue to create paper by adding Mana consumption, but now it could only create 700 sheets.
The quantity not only didn't increase, but it decreased instead.
With a thought, Tang Zheng took out two sheets of paper from his Item Box.
One was paper made with First-Tier Magic, and the other was paper made with Second-Tier Magic.
Both sheets of paper looked very snow-white, but the paper made with Second-Tier Magic was not only snow-white, but also had a faint luster under the sunlight.
"So, what's the use of this paper containing Mana? And this sense of luster... it feels a bit familiar."
Tang Zheng looked at the paper in his hand, a hint of recollection flashing in his eyes, but he couldn't remember where he had seen this luster before.
After a brief moment of thought.
Tang Zheng cast Item Appraisal on this sheet of paper.
Item: Material - White Paper (Second Tier)
Level: Lowest Grade
Effect: Paper containing weak Mana, not easily damaged, writing on it can remain unchanged for a hundred years - Alchemy material.
Description: White paper.
...
Seeing the information that was appraised, Tang Zheng raised his eyebrows.
"The writing on it can remain unchanged for a hundred years?" Tang Zheng was a little surprised.
Books made using this kind of paper should already be considered "magic" books, and some large nobles might need this kind of paper that can preserve text for a long time.
Tang Zheng thought for a moment and felt that this kind of paper containing Mana should be able to be used to sell for money.
Wait!
Tang Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly. He had previously heard the Rock team mention that some nobles did indeed have books that could preserve text for a long time.
This meant that there was originally a "Second-Tier Papermaking" in this world! When he bought scrolls at the Magic Caster Guild in E-Rantel, he only saw magic scrolls for "Zero-Tier Papermaking" and "First-Tier Papermaking."
Of course.
This Magic Caster Guild at the border doesn't seem to openly sell Second-Tier Magic Scrolls either.
It was only after Tang Zheng revealed himself to be a Magic Caster who uses faith-based magic that he managed to buy a "Item Appraisal" Magic Scroll, which has absolutely no offensive capabilities.
