Overlord: Welcoming the Birth of the King
Chapter 3: Clues to Job Assignment, High-Quality Human 10

The game "YGGDRASIL" was completely different from traditional games. The penalty for death was extremely severe: upon dying, players would directly drop five levels, and if their level was insufficient, their account would be deleted. 

To reduce this cost, one had to either cast resurrection magic or carry resurrection items—paid items like resurrection rings or resurrection staves. 

Tang Zheng did not possess any of these resurrection items. 

Moreover, he suspected that even with the innate ability of a "player," there would be no automatic resurrection once he died. 

After all, 

this was a real other world, not a game. 

He had no choice but to be cautious! 

Tang Zheng chewed on his hardened black bread while reaching to his waist, where the short sword he had bought with silver coins hung. 

Without the magic of "Item Identification," he naturally could not obtain any information about this short sword in his hand. 

Tang Zheng knew clearly that the short sword was just an ordinary weapon with no attribute bonuses whatsoever. 

He had purchased this weapon not only for self-defense but also because when he touched it, he learned how to activate a job! 

“Buzz—” 

“Contacted weapon: Short Sword. Basic job information obtained: Warrior.” 

“Do you want to take the job?” 

Tang Zheng held the short sword in front of him and waited for a moment. Then information appeared on the attribute panel floating before his eyes. 

“No!” 

Tang Zheng immediately thought in his mind. 

The job assignment information faded from the attribute panel. This was obviously not the first time it had appeared; it had already appeared once when he bought this sword. 

Counting this time, Tang Zheng had already declined twice in a row. 

He discovered that by touching the corresponding weapon with his hand for a period, he could trigger related job prompts. When he was in the weapon shop, he had touched a special shield. 

As a result, he had triggered an intermediate-level job called "Black Guard," but he could not take this job. To obtain it, he needed to first have the basic job called "Guardian." 

This discovery excited Tang Zheng so much that, under the shopkeeper’s nearly murderous glare, he touched every weapon he could reach. 

Unfortunately, except for that shield, all could only activate the basic job "Warrior." 

In the game "Overlord," job levels were divided into three categories. 

Basic Jobs (level 15) 

Intermediate Jobs (level 10) 

Advanced/Special Jobs (level 5) 

Jobs of these three levels could only be upgraded up to their corresponding level caps. 

In "YGGDRASIL," the total number of jobs exceeded two thousand, boasting an enormous job system. 

As long as one did not do it deliberately, identical players rarely appeared. 

When Tang Zheng found the opportunity to take a job while buying the short sword, the reason he had not taken it until now was very clear. 

Level 100! 

This was the level cap! 

All basic jobs had a maximum space of 15 levels. To face the beings in the Great Tomb, a pure warrior or pure caster job was obviously ineffective and vulnerable to counterattacks. 

In other words! 

Tang Zheng needed at least one basic warrior job and one basic caster job if he wanted no obvious weaknesses himself. 

The sum of these two basic jobs was already 30 levels, leaving only 70 levels of choice space remaining. 

He had to be extremely cautious! 

Once the job build was wrong... 

The margin for error was too small, and Tang Zheng had no choice but to be careful! 

He chewed on the black bread. 

Tang Zheng frowned slightly, sitting on the ground with his head lowered, his eyes flashing with thoughtful expressions. 

Regarding the choice of basic jobs, 

he currently had very little clue, or rather, he did not dare to decide firmly. 

If there were no threat from the Great Tomb and he only faced the natives of this other world, he wouldn’t need to be so troubled. 

The true threat in this world was those True Dragon Kings. 

Moreover, 

if Tang Zheng wanted to reach level 100 in a short time, there were trick methods. 

In "YGGDRASIL," the job system did not require raising a single job to max level. If you took 100 jobs, your player level would directly reach 100. 

But such a level 100 would be very weak and worthless. 

Since learning about the world he had crossed into yesterday, Tang Zheng had been thinking about how to narrow the gap if he became an enemy of the "Great Tomb of Nazarick." 

His thoughts boiled down to two points! 

1. Use techniques unique to this other world, which do not exist in the game "Overlord."

For example: Martial skills, the national treasures of the Li Yestige Kingdom like the "Razor Edge" and the "Origin Ring." 

2. Must take special jobs!

Special jobs were more powerful than advanced jobs and came with strong special skills or effects. Their strength could even exceed transcendent-level magic. 

Only by having special jobs 

did Tang Zheng feel he could at least have one-on-one conditions against the tiered guardians of the "Great Tomb of Nazarick." 

Clack-clack— 

Footsteps emerged from the crowd on the street and approached Tang Zheng, who was squatting in the corner, head lowered in thought, troubled by something. 

A shadow blocked the scorching sunlight. 

Feeling a trace of coolness, 

Tang Zheng was the first to come back to his senses. He looked at the shadow on the ground, his heart tightening as he tried to keep a blank expression on his face, then looked up at the figure appearing before him. 

It was a young boy. 

Golden short hair, bangs almost covering his eyes, looking a bit like a mushroom cut, giving the first impression of a somewhat gentle personality. 

He was not very old. 

His clothing was ordinary but much better in material quality than the few copper coins worth of clothes Tang Zheng wore. 

Seeing this golden-haired boy in front of him, Tang Zheng was briefly stunned, a flicker of surprise flashing in his dark brown eyes. 

Enfirea? 

Known in the future as the "Genius Alchemist," one of the few humans highly valued even by the Bone King. 

Though his appearance had some differences from when the story began, the overall look was not much changed, so recognizing him was not difficult. 

"Hello, are you having any difficulties?" 

Enfirea spoke softly, a little shyly, with a very sincere tone. 

Difficulties? 

This question made Tang Zheng pause. 

Looking at the half-eaten black rye bread in his hand, squatting in the corner, and the aura of dejection around him, 

Tang Zheng roughly understood. 

Nerves! 

I’m being pitied! 

Tang Zheng’s mouth twitched slightly as he replied expressionlessly, "No." 

"What are you doing, Enfirea?" 

At that moment, a cold voice came from behind. 

A tiny old lady, about 1.5 meters tall, with pale hair wrapped in a green headscarf, looked inconspicuous and approached with a cold expression. 

Hearing this old lady call the golden mushroom-cut boy by name, 

"Sure enough, it’s Enfirea." 

Tang Zheng thought silently. 

If he had been uncertain before, he was now basically sure. 

Tang Zheng instinctively glanced at Enfirea again. 

This was a true talent. 

He had the dual mutant jobs "Alchemist (Genius)" and "Pharmacist (Genius)." 

These were unique job variants only existing in this other world, which could be considered innate talents or natural gifts. 

Jobs marked with (Genius) allowed the user to learn more skills than their level should allow, including some skills beyond their level range, boosting skill power and strength. 

In just a few years, Enfirea had used native herbs to create the legendary Divine Blood of this other world, a low-level red potion in the game. 

Such potions were plentiful in the Great Tomb, but no matter how many there were, they would eventually be exhausted. Enfirea’s ability to produce them explained why the Bone King paid so much attention to him. 

Furthermore, 

Enfirea had the innate ability: "Unlimited Use of Items"! 

This ability allowed Enfirea to use any item, including magic scrolls or weapons not matching his job, or items limited to certain races. 

Even guild weapons that only guild players could use could be equipped and used normally! 

Thinking of this, Tang Zheng took a deep breath inwardly. Such talent—this was truly a high-quality human in this other world. 

To a certain extent, Enfirea could even threaten the Great Tomb!
