Overlord: Welcoming the Birth of the King
Chapter 62: An Unconventional Use of the New Passive Skill, and the Alchemy Potion is Done!

Feeling the power that hadn’t improved for a long time. 

Tang Zheng moved his whole body, letting himself adjust to this newly increased strength. 

Especially the magical power. 

With 28 points of magic power, he could finally use fourth-rank spells! 

Previously, he had upgraded "Warm Up" to the fourth rank, but due to the lack of magic power, he couldn’t actually use it. 

Now that problem was finally solved. 

Magic Swordsman! 

Regarding this profession, Tang Zheng remembered that someone in the Great Tomb of Nazarick seemed to have this profession. 

After careful recollection, Tang Zheng quickly recalled who it was! 

One of the 41 Supreme Beings of the Great Tomb, Beluriba. 

That individual was a mutated species covered with mouths all over the body, formed of piled-up flesh blocks, with four arms holding two staves and two longswords respectively. 

His profession was that of a magic warrior. 

However, among the 41 Supreme Beings, he was only second-tier, relying entirely on his excellent player skills and positioning to perform well in team battles. 

This showed that magic warrior-type professions were relatively mediocre due to the lack of specialized abilities. 

This was also unavoidable in the game. 

After all, with only 100 levels, magic-based warrior professions could only serve as support. 

However! 

This was no problem for Tang Zheng, because the "Genius" trait could make up for this. 

The reason he remembered the player information about “Beluriba” so clearly was because this guy was the only Supreme Being player who had clearly died in reality. 

And it wasn’t a natural death; it was because he had obtained dangerous intelligence about a world-class large conglomerate in the real world’s "Overlord," and was silenced by someone. 

That was why Tang Zheng was so deeply impressed. 

Bending down, 

Tang Zheng picked up the fat wild rabbit, swung his longsword, and slit open its abdomen, spilling its bloody innards all over. 

The big goblin Muto, who had been waiting nearby, quickly crawled over, picked up the innards on the ground, and swallowed them in big mouthfuls. 

“Warm Up.” 

With a flash of red light, consuming 1 point of magic power, Tang Zheng used the zero-rank "Warm Up." 

The fur on the fat wild rabbit quickly burned under the high heat, curling and shrinking, turning into ash and falling off under the intense heat. 

Within just a minute, the entire rabbit was roasted, emitting a hot, savory aroma. 

Tang Zheng cleaned it up simply, then leaned against a sturdy tree trunk and began to eat. 

This was a precaution in case of a sudden attack from behind. 

Although with Tang Zheng’s current strength, no forest monsters on the outskirts could threaten him, he still couldn’t let his guard down. 

Without any seasoning, 

the taste of roasted rabbit meat was quite ordinary. 

Picking the more tender parts, Tang Zheng threw the remaining large half of the roasted wild rabbit to the eagerly waiting big goblin Muto. 

Watching Muto excitedly lie on the ground and gnaw on the rabbit, Tang Zheng’s eyes fell silent. 

According to his old family tradition, 

Tang Zheng planned to let the other eat his fill before killing him. 

Now that the "Genius" profession level already met the requirements, Tang Zheng naturally no longer needed to stay in the Great Tob Forest! 

“No rush, eat slowly.” 

Tang Zheng rarely showed a faint smile, speaking to the big goblin Muto. 

“Thank you, uh, master.” Muto’s mouth was full, his voice muffled as he replied. 

Tang Zheng withdrew his gaze from Muto, one hand in his pocket, the other lifting the iron sword. 

Taking advantage of this moment, he experimented with the passive effect of "Magic Infusion." 

With a thought, 

Tang Zheng clearly felt the magic power inside him gathering toward the iron sword in his hand. 

Then! 

A translucent, somewhat brilliant magical glow appeared on the surface of the iron sword. 

“Not only does it add magical attributes, it seems the sharpness has increased a bit as well.” 

Tang Zheng watched the change of the iron sword, his eyes shining slightly. 

Crack— 

Suddenly! 

A fine crack appeared on the surface of the iron sword. Before Tang Zheng could react, the crack rapidly spread over the entire surface. 

Within just two breaths, the whole iron sword was covered with cracks! 

With a light "crack" sound, 

to Tang Zheng’s stunned gaze, the iron sword shattered directly into irregular iron shards, scattering on the ground! 

“This is…” 

Holding only the remaining sword handle, Tang Zheng was a bit stunned. 

“M-master? What happened?” Hearing the noise, big goblin Muto looked up and asked blankly. 

Tang Zheng waved his hand casually, staring at the shards on the ground, deep in thought. 

“Couldn’t withstand the power of ‘Magic Infusion’?” 

Soon! 

Tang Zheng seemed to have an idea. He took out the mithril dagger from his item box and performed magic infusion on it. 

This time, unlike the iron sword, the dagger did not shatter. 

“So it’s a material problem.” 

“Only special metals like mithril, bronze, or refined steel that can conduct magic power can withstand ‘Magic Infusion.’” 

“A wasted iron sword.” 

After figuring out the reason, Tang Zheng took out another sword from the item box. 

He hadn’t expected the "Magic Infusion" ability to be so overbearing and have material restrictions on weapons! 

In the game, there shouldn’t be such a limitation. 

But in the real world, this ability had obviously become more refined. 

“In the end, it’s just a technique to forcibly inject magic power into weapons.” 

Wait! 

Refined? 

Tang Zheng’s mind stirred. 

Since this was the real world, the "Magic Infusion" ability couldn’t be limited only to enchanting equipment like in the game. 

Tang Zheng raised his palm, sensing the magic power inside him, controlling the power to gather in his hand. 

In a moment, 

a translucent magical energy with a faint blue glow appeared in Tang Zheng’s palm! 

“That’s more like it!” 

“This isn’t a game, but a real power system. Magic power can’t be limited to only some applications!” 

Tang Zheng’s eyes glittered with sharp light. 

The next moment! 

Tang Zheng took out the alchemical solution he had previously abandoned from his item box. 

Normally, creating healing potions required both magic and herbs, and this also applied to alchemical solutions! 

However, before this, Tang Zheng lacked such means, but with the appearance of "Magic Infusion," he realized it might be applicable here. 

He placed the water pouch containing the low-grade alchemical solution made from the Gallows Spider’s poison sac in front of him. 

“Magic Infusion!” 

Tang Zheng mobilized the magic power within his body, slowly injecting it into the alchemical solution. 

The originally murky solution, with a fishy smell, began to gradually emit a faint magical glow under the infusion of magic power. 

It worked! 

Tang Zheng’s eyes brightened, and he quickly continued to pour magic power into the alchemical solution. 

1 point of magic power! 

2 points of magic power! 

... 

4 points of magic power! 

5 points of magic power! 

With the continued infusion of magic power, the originally very murky and fishy alchemical solution gradually became clear, and its color began to shift toward blue. 

After consuming 5 points of magic power, equivalent to the magic power cost of a first-rank spell! 

The alchemical solution had completely turned blue, looking bright and clear. 

The originally full water pouch had also shrunk directly to about one-third of its original volume. 

Looking closely! 

One could see the alchemical solution in the pouch faintly shimmering with a blue glow. 

“Item Identification!” Tang Zheng quickly cast identification. 

... 

Item: Magic · Alchemical Solution (Paralysis Potion) 

Rank: Lowest 

Description: Inflicts the target with the negative "Paralysis" status, lasting 10 minutes. (Potion effect fades after 30 days) 

... 

Looking at the alchemical solution in the pouch, Tang Zheng’s expression added a touch of surprise and delight. 

It actually succeeded. 

“The Alchemist profession should also be able to use ‘Magic Infusion,’ but issues like mixing various herbs and dosage can’t be avoided.” 

“Not nearly as convenient as using alchemy directly.” 

Tang Zheng was a bit excited. With a thought, he continued to inject magic power into the pouch. 

He wanted to see what would happen if he kept infusing magic power into the alchemical solution!
