Unique Tier Magic of the New World—Zero-Tier Magic

Four years before the New Calendar.

[Zhongfeng Month], May 30.

Following the flow of people, Tang Zheng walked along the main road. Perhaps because too many people had walked along the stone-paved road, some areas had already become slightly sunken.

The buildings around him were arranged in an orderly fashion, mostly in light colors, while their roofs were dark-colored and European in style.

As Tang Zheng walked down the street, he observed his surroundings while heading toward the Adventurer's Guild in "E-Rantel."

He first needed to find somewhere to properly rest and recover.

He had left the Royal City on May 17. By now, thirteen days had passed on the road.

He had to put leveling on the agenda as soon as possible.

The Great Forest of Tob and the Katze Plains near "E-Rantel" were, in his view, two important leveling locations.

Tang Zheng planned to head to the Great Forest of Tob first.

Not only because the forest contained large numbers of beasts and Monsters, but also because the undead creatures in the Katze Plains were impossible for him to damage effectively with his current abilities.

So!

Tang Zheng needed to prepare some supplies, and he had to thank the Rock team for teaching him some wilderness survival skills.

He was not heading to the Adventurer's Guild now, but to an inn near it. Apparently, these inns had all developed as businesses alongside the Adventurer's Guild.

Some high-level Adventurer parties did not even need to pay when staying at these inns.

He had been on the road for more than ten consecutive days.

In his previous life, Tang Zheng felt that even if his legs were not crippled, they would have been close to it.

But now.

After traveling this entire stretch, Tang Zheng felt nothing more than slightly tired. He had no other discomfort, and he had not even developed blisters on his feet.

This situation made Tang Zheng suspect that increasing his level did not merely increase his strength. His physical constitution had also become significantly stronger.

Tang Zheng untied the waterskin at his waist and took a gulp. After passing through several blocks, he found a small inn one street away from the Adventurer's Guild.

This kind of inn had two types of rooms.

One was a shared room that could accommodate four to six people, costing one copper coin per person per day.

The other was a room for two, costing five copper coins per person per day.

This kind of inn was clearly provided for Adventurer parties. But that was only natural. Aside from Adventurers and traveling merchant caravans, local commoners would not stay in inns.

Tang Zheng naturally would not stay in a shared room. He simply rented a two-person room for himself. After considering how long he would need to prepare his supplies, he rented it for two days in total, costing him twenty copper coins.

That came to the price of one silver coin and seven copper coins.

Creak!

He pushed open the brown wooden door, and the somewhat old hinges let out a harsh squeak.

Tang Zheng stepped inside, casually closed the door, and swept his gaze across the entire room.

The room was not large, measuring only around eleven or twelve square meters. Two wooden beds stood in the center, with a crude bedside table between them.

There was no other furniture. The room looked extremely simple. The only thing that comforted Tang Zheng was that it had a private bathroom.

Overall, this New World was at a medieval level. However, because magic existed, it could not be viewed entirely as medieval.

For example!

Whether in the Royal City or on the central streets of "E-Rantel," there were things resembling streetlamps.

Of course, they were not actual streetlamps, but magical lamps containing Everlasting Light.

Although the journey had been arduous, it was not a problem for Tang Zheng. The only thing he found somewhat unbearable was dealing with the bathroom.

"Paper" existed in the New World!

It was just that papermaking techniques were extremely backward, production was very low, and no one was willing to spend time improving them.

That was because the New World possessed Zero-Tier Magic, something that did not exist at all in the game "YGGDRASIL."

This type of magic was also known as Life-Class Magic!

With only a little mana, it could easily produce a large amount of paper. Under such circumstances, naturally no one would improve papermaking technology.

Fortunately.

The Rock team was, at any rate, a high-income group. Once people had money, their standard of living would always improve somewhat.

Otherwise—

"Ahem."

Tang Zheng coughed lightly, interrupting the thought that had emerged in his mind.

Tang Zheng had heard about the existence of Zero-Tier Magic from the Rock team. According to the team leader, Dosari—

These spells, which were merely used to make life more convenient, were not usually studied specifically by most Magic Casters. Unless they had a personal need, they would simply purchase the corresponding Magic Scrolls.

This information also gave Tang Zheng a reminder.

He acquired skills by waiting for someone else to use a skill, then consuming Skill Points to learn it.

If a spell was released through a scroll, could he also learn it by consuming Skill Points?

In addition.

There was also the issue of making money!

Whether he wanted to admit it or not, his upcoming purchases would require money.

As for heading to the Great Forest of Tob, setting everything else aside—

He at least needed to buy a piece of armor. More importantly, he needed weapons. The short sword in his hand would probably be notched after killing just a few beasts.

He could not afford magical weapons, but he still needed to stock up on several ordinary swords and blades!

The basic prices in this world were not high. However, once an item was connected to "magic," its price became frighteningly high.

A cup with merely a cooling effect cost around 150 gold coins.

As for weapons with magical effects, regardless of their strength, their value exceeded 1,000 gold coins!

These were things ordinary people could never come into contact with in their entire lives!

With the money currently in his hands, he could only buy a few decent ordinary weapons!

During the journey to "E-Rantel," Tang Zheng had already begun considering how to make money. His consultation with Nfirea about manufacturing "healing potions" had originally taken this into account.

However.

After figuring things out, Tang Zheng knew that he could not spend a great deal of time gathering herbs and studying herbal knowledge.

So.

Tang Zheng had once again considered "Zero-Tier Magic"—that was, Life Magic.

"Fortunately, the money Captain Dosari gave me has solved my temporary predicament."

Tang Zheng took the bag of gold coins from his robes.

He had checked it just now. There were a full twenty gold coins inside. Adding the money he had left before, he currently had twenty-two gold coins, four silver coins, and four copper coins.

Tang Zheng put the money pouch in his Item Box, then reached up and rubbed his temples. There were many issues to think about, but next—

Bang!

Tang Zheng walked to one of the beds and fell backward onto it.

He had been sleeping outdoors all this time, and his nerves had remained tense.

Now he could finally sleep in a bed.

What he needed most now was to recuperate properly and get some rest.

Tang Zheng lay on the bed and glanced sideways out the room's window. The sun outside was still intense, and judging by the time, it had only just passed noon.

This inn was not far from the Adventurer's Guild, and it was still daytime. He should be able to get some proper rest.

That thought flashed through Tang Zheng's mind, and he closed his eyes.
