Chapter 19: Warm Spring and HP Potion

Translator: Zayn_

And that was why Caroline had been trying her best to recommend the F-1 bounty mission.

After all, if the association wanted to achieve this goal, they would need more adventurers to help.

After this indicator was distributed layer by layer, the pressure of this job naturally fell to the receptionist at the bottom rung of the office.

“I wonder if a week is enough.”

Lu Qingge frowned slightly and couldn’t help but worry.

After all, this was the first time he had attempted an F-tier bounty mission.

He had no confidence at all.

In addition, he often couldn’t control himself from slacking. Therefore, the real effective working time was not as long as seven days.

“Hey.”

“No matter what, let’s try it first.”

“Moreover, the reward for this mission is not low.”

“If it is successfully completed, then I can arrange a set of equipment and weapons for myself.”

As he thought about this silently, Lu Qingge perked up.

Unknowingly, Soon, he arrived at the Frontier Camp of Gran Forest.

This time, Lu Qingge was not in a hurry to pass by.

Instead, he came to a consumable stall called “Warm Spring Store”.

During this period of time, as long as he pass by the Frontier Camp, Lu Qingge had also observed the situation here.

Then, he realized that, every time, the number of players surrounding this stall was the highest.

Moreover, this shop was also the most punctual and frequent place to set up stalls.

Later, Lu Qingge asked around.

The manager of the store was a middle-aged man named Ackerman.

According to the world forum, he was one of the earliest players in the game.

Uncle Ackerman had been doing business in Gran Town for many years.

So until now, The “Warm Spring” he founded was already the largest consumable chain store in the entire town.

Although it sounded very powerful.

However, the range of the chain was actually limited to Gran Town…

Therefore, the ‘Warm Spring’ that was stationed in the Frontier Camp all year round could already be considered an old signboard of this place.

Especially in the Frontier Camp. As long as Uncle Ackerman’s shop was open, the surrounding small merchants and hawkers basically wouldn’t be able to get any benefits.

They could only pack up and go to other places with less traffic.

However, when Lu Qingge searched for Ackerman’s Warm Spring Store on the World Forum…

However, he discovered that…

Although the Warm Spring Store was an old brand, it seemed that over the years, there had been a lot of scandals about this old shop.

The last time was said to be half a year ago.

Some players revealed that the Warm Spring Store was secretly colluding with the town’s dignitaries.

With the help of the nobles, they controlled the market in Gran Town and secretly monopolized some consumables.

Then, they would deliberately raise the price and cut off the leeks of the ordinary adventurers.

Finally, they would divide the wealth with the powerful.

However, there was no concrete evidence.

Therefore, in the end, this matter was left unsettled.

And in fact, even if the Warm Spring Store really did something like that and monopolized, most of the adventurers had no choice.

After all, in such a small town, a big store like Warm Spring Store really didn’t have any competitor who could be on equal footing with it.

Recently, the [Stamina Potion] that Lu Qingge had stored up some time ago was almost used up.

In addition, this time, the wild monster he had to deal with was no longer the harmless [Slime].

A small monster like Slime that was not a threat.

Lu Qingge could basically guarantee that he would be able to farm monsters without getting hurt.

However, it was different for [Goblin].

Although they were all low-level wild monsters, goblins were aggressive and swarming creatures.

In other words, not only would they take the initiative to attack players, but they would also take the initiative to gang up on players.

A lot of novice teams that weren’t careful might be surrounded and wiped out by the goblins.

Not to mention that Lu Qingge was playing alone.

In reality, it wasn’t that Lu Qingge didn’t want to find a few people to form a team.

But in his current situation, if someone was really willing to team up with him, then there would definitely be something wrong with them.

After all, who would want to fight monsters with a player who had a Level 1 above his head and had no reputation?

Other than dragging him down and sharing his experience, it was useless.

Lu Qingge knew his own situation very well.

Therefore, he naturally did not provoke anyone else.

And at this stage, whether it was teaming up with others or grinding, it would waste too much time.

What Lu Qingge lacked the most right now was time.

He did not want to spend too much energy on other things. He just wanted to bury his head in the ground and grind fiercely.

Therefore, in order to ensure that the next level up would go smoothly, he had to add some more stock.

If he wanted to deal with these aggressive goblins, he would have to deal with them alone.

Other than the necessary [Stamina Potion], he also had to prepare consumables such as [HP Potion] that could recover HP.

Because Lu Qingge knew very well that while dealing with goblins, it was impossible for him to remain unharmed as easily and happily as Slime.

The mall in Gran Town didn’t refresh every day.

Therefore, he wanted to buy consumables that could replenish his HP.

The only option left was Ackerman’s Warm Spring.

Very quickly, Lu Qingge arrived at the Warm Spring Store.

It was still early at this time, and the Warm Spring Store had just opened for business.

Therefore, there were not many customers in the shop.

In Lu Qingge’s impression, if it had been an hour later, this place would most likely be already filled with the adventurers of Gran Forest.

By that time, there would be endless streams of customers.

Ackerman was lying on an exquisite rattan chair, dozing off leisurely.

As for the few shop assistants that he hired, they were as busy as a spinning top, wishing they could grow three heads and six arms.

At this moment, the plump middle-aged man with a messy bird’s nest-like hair sat behind the front desk with his eyes narrowed.

He was reading a swimsuit magazine in his hand.

Lu Qingge took a glance at it stealthily.

Then, he saw a hot female celebrity on the cover.

He could vaguely recognize it.

The background of the portrait seemed to be Golden Sunflower Beach in the south of Grace City.

“Good morning, Uncle Ackerman!”

Lu Qingge waved his hand in a friendly manner.

“Good morning, adventurer!”

“Do you want anything?”

Ackerman smiled warmly.

He raised his head and glanced at Lu Qingge.

After seeing the latter’s overly simple attire, he was shocked.

The smile on his face slowly disappeared without a trace.

“An entry-level HP potion.”

Lu Qingge said.

“200 coins per bottle.” Ackerman picked up the magazine.

He continued to study the trend of bikini culture and said without looking up.

“Ah!”

Lu Qingge thought for a moment and said, “Then, let’s have five bottles first!”
