My Experience Bar Is So Unusual

Chapter 4: Can… Can I Still Upgrade?

Translator: Zayn_

Lu Qingge naturally noticed Ross’ little thoughts.

However, it was a pity.

Lu Qingge didn’t want to be fooled by him.

After all, this [Stamina Potion] was something he had obtained with his own abilities.

He didn’t steal or cheat. What was there to be afraid of?

Thus, Lu Qingge quickly threw this matter to the back of his mind.

He then entered the [Novice Teaching] instance dungeon at his fastest speed.

…

[ Welcome to Dungeon: Novice Teaching!]

[Please familiarize yourself with your character’s operation…]

After skillfully skipping the guidance, Lu Qingge casually picked up a thick wooden stick in the forest and used it as a weapon.

Since there was no way to clear the teaching dungeon, he could not buy equipment in the town area.

Therefore, he could only use this thing to replace the sword for the time being.

Since the wooden stick did not have any attribute bonuses, its attack was equivalent to a normal attack.

It was not even as high as the damage of the small fist.

However, it did not matter.

Anyway, its main function was to release [Stellar Slash].

He quickly jogged to the center of the map and squatted in front of the place where the BOSS spawned.

Ten seconds later, a ray of light appeared.

The familiar [Elite Slime] once again appeared in front of Lu Qingge.

“Wulululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululul~”

After seeing Lu Qingge.

The slime let out a super fierce cry and jumped up.

“Stellar Slash!”

Lu Qingge decisively raised his hand and slashed out a sword energy.

[-26]

Yellow numbers popped out.

“Tsk.”

“As expected of the publicly acknowledged most spicy skill, only this little damage!”

Lu Qingge felt an incomparable pain in his heart.

He still remembered that according to the game forum, even if the special effects and posture of [Air Breaking Strike] were extremely ugly, each slash dealt around 50 points of physical damage.

So…

Normally, players who had three skills at the start of the game would be able to use them.

There was no need to worry about this kind of idiotic novice tutorial instance dungeon.

However, the problem wasn’t too big.

This was because Lu Qingge was already mentally prepared for this.

Elite Slime, who was hit by the sword aura, seemed to be a little angry.

It changed its direction and jumped towards Lu Qingge.

Unfortunately, it was only a slime.

There were no special attacks, only the simplest Q-bullets.

Therefore, Lu Qingge knew that it was very easy to dodge its attacks.

He just needed to keep running and keep a safe distance from it.

As long as he was not within the attack range, the slime would not jump up and hit his face.

As for what he was going to do next…

It was to constantly use [Stellar Energy Slash] to deplete Slime’s HP at an absolutely safe distance.

In this way, he could ensure that he could pass the novice tutorial without any mistakes.

However, this method naturally had many drawbacks.

First of all, the damage of [Stellar Slash] was too low.

With [Elite Slime]’s HP, even if the probability of a critical hit was included, he would need to use [Stellar Slash] nearly forty times.

Moreover, this was under the most perfect assumption.

This was because during the cooldown period of [Stellar Slash], [Elite Slime] would naturally recover its HP.

Therefore, the actual number of times needed was probably even more.

In fact, Lu Qingge even had to use some insignificant attacks during this period of time.

“Stellar Slash!”

Lu Qingge slashed out with his sword qi again.

[-24]

The skill entered a cooldown state.

Lu Qingge didn’t give the slime a chance to catch its breath.

Instead, he picked up a wooden stick and started beating it up.

[-3]

[-2]

[…]

At the same time, he predicted the slime’s jump attack and dodged it.

After the ninth attack.

Lu Qingge decisively retreated and distanced himself from the slime.

Then, he used [Stellar Slash].

[-25]

The moment the damage numbers lit up.

Bang!

A violent shockwave exploded with the slime as the center.

However, this time…

Lu Qingge, who had already distanced himself, was completely unharmed by the shockwave.

“Very good!”

Lu Qingge smiled.

This tactic was very effective!

In this way, he only needed to continuously cycle this series of attacks to successfully clear the level.

He might not even be injured!

“Hu…”

“But I’ll be frank.”

“This playstyle is really tiring.”

After all, [Elite Slime] wasn’t a tree stump that stood still. It could also jump around.

After being kited by Lu Qingge a few times…

It began to consciously move around to dodge Lu Qingge’s attacks.

So…

This method was not only time-consuming, but it also tested the player’s patience and stamina.

And… mentality.

And that was why Lu Qingge needed to prepare so many [Stamina Potions].

After taking a few deep breaths, Lu Qingge took out a [Stamina Potion] and downed it.

[ Ding!]

[ Your stamina has been replenished!]

After the potion entered his throat, Lu Qingge could clearly feel it.

The fatigue and soreness in his body… at a speed that could be sensed, a lot of it had disappeared.

“As expected of the medicine that a real man must have.”

Lu Qingge said silently.

At this moment, that familiar feeling seemed to have returned.

Year three.

Those nights where he would drink coffee and burn the midnight oil.

It was the kind of pleasure that came from swimming in knowledge and crazily studying the questions until one felt nauseous.

He was back!

“Continue!”

“Don’t stop!”

Lu Qingge raised his wooden stick and charged at the slime again.

..

After an hour of intense battle.

After consuming a total of 8 bottles of [Stamina Potion].

Lu Qingge used an exquisite Stellar Slash to successfully kill the Elite Slime.

“Oooh~”

The slime let out a shrill cry.

Then, it exploded into a large number of pixelated particles that scattered in all directions.

[ Ding! ]

[ You have killed Elite Slime!

Obtained EXP: 100!

You have cleared the freshmen tutorial!

Obtained EXP: 900! ]

[Congratulations!]

You have passed the Novice Tutorial!]

Welcome to the Saint Soul Continent. From today onwards, begin your adventurer journey!]

…

The pleasant female voice of the system rang in his ears.

Hearing this, Lu Qingge didn’t know if he should cry or laugh.

Logically speaking, he should have heard this sentence a year ago.

But it was fine. It was not too late now.

After the settlement, Lu Qingge immediately opened his skill panel.

As expected.

The experience points in the experience pool had become: [1000]

Lu Qingge tried to use his mind to control it.

Immediately after, everything he had guessed actually happened.

A portion of the water in the experience pool flowed into the skill tree again.

It flowed along the trunk and branches to where the [Stellar Slash] was.

When this process was over.

The EXP in the EXP Pool became [900]

As for Stellar Energy Slash, it became [100/100].

He had successfully allocated 100 EXP to [Stellar Slash].

[ Ding!]

[ Stellar Slash has been upgraded to LV2 (0/100)! ]

“Hiss…?”

Lu Qingge gasped slightly.

Didn’t this mean that he could continue to level up?

Thus, Lu Qingge did the same thing and allocated another 100 EXP to [Stellar Slash].

Stellar Energy Slash has been upgraded to LV3 (0/100)!]

“Still… You can still level up?”

Seeing this…

Lu Qingge was completely dumbfounded.
