My Experience Bar Is So Unusual

Chapter 3: Exhaustion Sometimes Appears After Over-Rewarding…

Translator: Zayn_

Early morning.

Gran Town.

The sky had just lit up slightly.

The central landmark of the town square was already surrounded by people.

It was the only large-scale [Mall] in Gran Town.

It was the same scene almost every morning.

Lu Qingge, who was in the crowd, glanced at the time on the game panel.

[Sacred Soul Time: 05:59:46]

It was six o’clock sharp.

There was a limited time sale at [Mall] today.

There were only 14 seconds left.

Lu Qingge slowly took a deep breath to calm himself down.

He looked up and focused his gaze on the landmark that looked like a gold coin.

Then, he began to wait patiently.

Ding!

[The limited time sale has been opened!]

Accompanied by a pleasant notification, that gold coin shaped landmark immediately lit up and began to spin.

Almost at the same time, everyone’s fingers moved at their fastest speed.

Each person clicked on the [Buy] option that popped up in front of them, then quickly slid the item column to a certain position.

Just as everyone was about to make their purchase however, they found that an item called [Stamina Potion]… had already turned gray, symbolizing ‘sold-out’.

“F*ck? Why is it gone?”

“[Stamina Potion]?”

“Where is the [Stamina Potion]?”

“Oh, my god! How many years had he been single to have such quick hands?”

“…”

It was just past six.

In the town square.

Once again, all kinds of wails of shock and grief erupted.

Ding!

[The list of achievements in this auction is as follows…]

[ Congratulations to player Lu Qingge for becoming the “Hand Speed King” of this event!]

When the announcement came from the mall, Lu Qingge had already silently escaped from the crowd.

When the noise around him gradually quieted down.

He quietly opened his [Backpack] and took a look.

Stamina Potion x100

..

[ Item: Stamina Potion ]

[ Type: Consumable ]

Details: Recovers a small amount of stamina after use.]

[ Cooldown Time: None.]

[ Remark: Exhaustion sometimes occurs after excessive rewards. Drink this bottle of water and become a real man again!]

..

“Phew.”

“That was close.”

“I almost didn’t get it.”

Lu Qingge heaved a sigh of relief.

If he didn’t have this thing, today’s operation wouldn’t have been carried out.

After all, in a novice village like Gran Town.

There weren’t many shops like the [Mall] that could provide [Stamina Potion].

So just now, Lu Qingge had bought all the [Stamina Potions] that were on sale in the mall today.

[Stamina Potion] cost 100 Sacred Soul coins per bottle.

In today’s limited time event, a bottle only cost 50 yuan.

Lu Qingge bought all of them, a total of 100 bottles.

He had spent an entire year in the [Novice Teaching] instance dungeon.

In addition, he had received the poverty allowance from the Association of Heroes for the past year.

Lu Qingge had already saved a small sum of money.

And now, it was time for it to come in handy.

Today, he needed to rely on these 100 potions to clear [Novice Teaching].

Although he might have bought a little too much, for the sake of stability, it was always a good thing to stock up more goods.

After leaving the plaza, he headed towards the dungeon location near the Newborn Land.

“Lu Qingge!”

Suddenly, someone called his name from behind.

He turned around.

Two men and a woman quickly chased after him.

They were all very young.

The boys were tall and short respectively.

The girl had long hair that was as bright as gold, and her skin was whiter than snow.

Her eyes were as beautiful as sapphires.

They were obviously players from Europe and North America.

“What is it?”

Lu Qingge asked.

“Ah, it’s nothing.”

The young man in the lead smiled and said, “I’ve never seen you in the [Mall] before. So I wanted to ask, do you know the rules here?”

Lu Qingge recognized this person.

Ross, LV9, class [Warrior].

Actually, even if he didn’t remember, it didn’t matter.

Because Ross never hid any information about himself.

Above his head, the symbol [LV9 Ross] was displayed all year round.

In a novice village like Gran Town.

LV9 was considered a relatively high-level player.

Most players would pass the Hero Trial when they reached Level 10 or so.

And after that.

Most of the players, especially the young ones, would all choose to leave Gran Town to see the world.

Only a small portion of the players who were not ambitious and were not very strong were left.

He might as well stay in the town and spend his life leisurely.

However, the real reason why Lu Qingge had an impression of him was because…

Ross was the commander of the Iron Wolf Gang.

In Gran Town, the Iron Wolf Gang was quite famous.

Currently, in the ranking of the Gran Town Hero Association, the Iron Wolf Gang was still ranked first.

Lu Qingge had also heard that Ross seemed to have some backing in the association, the kind that was very powerful.

On the other hand, Ross’s Iron Wolf Gang was well-known, and the entire town knew about Lu Qingge’s deeds.

In addition, Lu Qingge had previously applied for poverty relief from the Hero Association.

Ross often appeared in the association.

Therefore, although the two of them had never met before.

However, they knew each other.

“Rules?”

“I’ve never heard of it.” Lu Qingge shook his head.

As expected of a hothead…

Ross couldn’t help but roll his eyes in his heart.

Just as he was about to leisurely purchase the [Stamina Potion], he heard the announcement of the “Hand Speed King”.

Then, when he looked at the inventory, it was all gone!

Even with his intelligence, he could tell that it was definitely Lu Qingge, that silly guy, who was causing trouble.

“In Gran Town.”

“All the activities that appear in the [Mall] that are similar to the [Limited Time Buy].”

“We have to keep half of each resource in stock.”

Ross said.

“What about the other half?”

Lu Qingge asked.

“Of course it belongs to the Hero Association.”

Ross showed Lu Qingge the badge on his chest.

On it was written, “Captain of the Iron Wolf Adventurers.”

Lu Qingge glanced at him and said, “But you’re not from the Hero Association.”

“Cough cough…”

“What?” Ross was a little choked. “This work was completed by our Iron Wolf Gang on behalf of the Hero Association.”

Lu Qingge frowned slightly and asked in confusion, “Who said that?”

“When did they say that?”

“Do you have a proper official license?”

“Why haven’t I seen it on the notice board of the [Mall]?”

Ross was speechless.

F * ck!

That was why he hated interacting with honest people the most!

Actually, he was right.

The Iron Wolf Gang and the Hero Association in town indeed had some unspeakable connections in private.

But some things, of course, could not be written in black and white.

But these unwritten rules.

Almost all the players in Gran Town knew this.

Moreover, everyone could only obey obediently.

After all, no one wanted to get into trouble with the Iron Wolf Gang.

However, if he had to be serious, Ross really couldn’t do anything to Lu Qingge.

Helpless, Ross could only change the topic.

“Do you need so many potions?”

Lu Qingge scratched his head and said, “Of course.”

“Brother, we’re all brothers. You don’t have to be like this.”

Ross didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. He couldn’t help but tease, “It’s not like everyone doesn’t know what level you’re at.”

“You haven’t even passed [Novice Teaching], so you can’t go to the outside world at all.”

“Besides, you don’t practice, do you?”

“What’s the use of storing so much medicine?”

The so-called training was a service provided by many adventurer teams.

Some of the weaker or newbie players.

They would pay a certain amount of Holy Spirit Coins and ask some adventurer teams to help them level up.

Training was roughly divided into grinding and dungeons.

Leading teams to conquer dungeons was one.

Bring the team to farm monsters was the other.

This was one of the main sources of income for adventurer teams.

Just like Ross’s Iron Wolves.

They were the strongest team in the entire town.

Most players would choose to cooperate with Ross if their financial strength allowed it.

The training business required high efficiency and speed.

Only by taking [Stamina Potion] could he maintain his energy for work.

Therefore…

This was also the reason.

The reason why Ross wanted to control the source of the [Stamina Potion].

“Then what are your plans?” Lu Qingge asked.”

“Actually, it’s nothing.”

“Everyone is in a good mood today.”

“Hand over the thing and I won’t argue with you this time.”

Ross stretched out his hand and made a gesture of receiving something.

“Just remember it next time.”

“Oh.”

Lu Qingge nodded and took out a bottle of [Stamina Potion] from his backpack.

Then, he handed it to Ross.

After Ross took it, he was puzzled.

“What do you mean?”

“Just this bottle?”

Lu Qingge only smiled and said, “I’m sorry.”

“I truly didn’t expect your adventurer team to be so shabby. It just so happens that my mood is also good today. I’ll give you a bottle.”

“???”

Ross’s expression changed slightly.

Lu Qingge’s actions had left him a little confused.

His words were stuck in her throat, and he did not know what to say after choking for a long time.

He held the [Stamina Potion] in his hand.

It was like a ticking time bomb, making him feel as if his heart was burning.

“If there’s nothing else, I’ll be leaving first.”

“I still have something on hand and am in a hurry.”

Lu Qingge casually waved his hand and walked away.

“..”

Looking at Lu Qingge’s back, the veins on Ross’s forehead could not help but throb.

“Ross, calm down!”

Dewey pulled Ross back with all his might.

“Attacking players in town is against the rules!”

“Besides, he’s a good-for-nothing. There’s no need for us to lower ourselves to his level!”

After some persuasion, Ross finally calmed down.

“Hmph, that’s true.”

Ross said disdainfully, “It’s a waste of time to deal with someone who can’t even pass the novice dungeon.”

Dewey echoed, “Yes, yes.”

“When we pass through the [Trial of the Brave] this year, we won’t be able to see such annoying people anymore!”

“Don’t you think so, Winona?”

“Yes.”

The golden-haired girl, who had been silent all this while, responded casually.
