My Experience Bar Is So Unusual - Chapter 1
Chapter 1: Damn, This Experience Bar Has a Huge Bug!
Translator: Zayn_
In the southern part of the Sacred Spirit Continent.
The Duchy of Orenster.
Gran Town.
Lu Qingge stood in front of the entrance to the [Novice Teaching] dungeon and slowly took a deep breath.
“It’s been a year…”
“It’s time to end this…”
Lu Qingge muttered to herself in a low voice, her eyes sharp.
A year!
It had been a whole year since he came to this world!
From a year ago until now, he had yet to clear the novice tutorial!
In the setting of the world of “Sacred Soul”, if the player did not pass the [Novice Teaching] dungeon…
It meant that…
All the subsequent game content would have nothing to do with him.
He would not be able to go to any wild areas.
They were also unable to enter certain places in the town area, such as the Exchange Hall and the Frontier Camp.
Naturally, there was no need to mention leaving the novice village of Gran Town.
This was because this part of the game map would only be unlocked after clearing the novice tutorial dungeon.
Under normal circumstances, a year’s time was enough for a LV1 player player who could maintain a normal leveling rhythm to reach between LV5 and LV10.
But this year…
Lu Qingge was still at the very beginning, Level 1, untouched.
He had even achieved the hidden achievement of [King of Baking].
However, that was one thing.
In fact, Lu Qingge was not a salted fish.
Even in the real world, he was also a curly-haired dog that made his classmates and colleagues stay away from him.
In the third year of high school, Lu Qingge returned to the dormitory from the classroom on time before the lights were turned off at 11:30 every night.
Every weekend, he would practice ten sets of practice papers.
Sophomore stage. Lu Qingge, who had passed all the certificate exams ahead of schedule, also completed the internship in the third year of his junior year and drafted his graduation thesis.
After graduation.
Lu Qingge, who lived a diligent life, suddenly mocked in front of the mirror one day, “Are you f*cking staying here to keep your health?”
Then, he joined the 007 army.
Therefore, logically speaking, Lu Qingge, who had an iron liver and was nicknamed ‘Molotov Chicken Roll’, shouldn’t have started like this.
The reason for all of this had to be explained from the beginning.
Year 2050.
Thirty years ago.
The world’s first global server.
It was a large-scale holographic online game with a high degree of freedom and realism.
Sacred Soul was officially open for beta testing.
In just a few days, the number of daily active users of “Sacred Soul” had exceeded 2 billion.
It quickly became the most popular game in history.
Down to six, seven, eight, up to 88.
Players of all ages found their own happiness here.
Due to the 99.9% degree of realism.
In the game, players could experience the same experience as in real life.
Not only could the character model perfectly replicate the player’s body.
All the sensory experiences were close to 100%.
It was also because of this, in the same year, Sacred Soul caused a huge commotion in the scientific world.
The top scientists and scientific associations from all over the world unanimously declared, “The release of ‘Sacred Soul’ has completely realized mankind’s great conception of the era of the ‘meta-union’!”
However…
Just as people were celebrating the arrival of the “Meta Universe Era” –
The apocalypse had arrived.
That’s right, it was so sudden.
It was the 30th anniversary of the release of Sacred Soul.
The earth had encountered the largest meteorite swarm in history that could not be intercepted.
Under the fierce impact of the dimension-reduction level event…
The earth’s crust collapsed, volcanoes erupted around the world, the physical and chemical composition of the atmosphere changed drastically, and the earth stopped rotating…
In the end, the world was destroyed.
The civilization of mankind had come to an end.
..
Although the humans were indeed gone…
But everything wasn’t over.
Even if this world was destroyed.
The world of the Sacred Soul was completely intact!
As for the players who had registered for the game, after the apocalypse, their consciousness had actually been transferred to their characters in the game of “Sacred Soul.”
Some people were happy, some people were sad.
In these thirty years, those old players who had been in the game for many years suddenly had capital in the new world because of the arrival of the apocalypse.
As for the newbie players, they felt a little emotional after returning to their previous life overnight.
However…
No one could explain all of this.
Similarly.
No one could say for sure.
Why was it that the world had already been reduced to ashes but this world had not collapsed yet?
But one thing was certain.
For humans, this was definitely a good thing.
This was…
A brand new beginning of the world.
A brand new civilization, a brand new society, a brand new order…
And-
A brand new unknown.
A moment before the end of the world.
Lu Qingge made his choice.
Calmly and indifferently, he lay down in the game pod.
The reason was simple.
He was an orphan.
When most people spent the last moments of their lives with their families.
Lu Qingge chose the world of “Sacred Soul”.
To Lu Qingge, this was a world where there were no relatives, no lovers, and no other fetters.
There seemed to be nothing to miss.
So…
It would be better to sleep forever in another world with more possibilities.
It was indeed a coincidence.
At the same time when the meteorite fell and the world collapsed.
Coincidentally, Lu Qingge managed to log into the game.
At that time, he was preparing to choose his character’s class.
GA!
.
The game interface was a mess.
When he recovered, he had already appeared in the world of Sacred Soul.
After that.
Lu Qingge realized…
He had encountered a bug.
There was a big f*cking bug!
Firstly, there was no [EXP Bar] in his game panel!
On a normal player’s interface, the EXP bar was right next to their level.
Once the experience bar was full, the player would automatically level up.
However, there was nothing behind Lu Qingge’s level.
In other words.
He could not level up at all.
And this might very well lead to a very bad situation.
That was- he would always be LV1.
F * ck!
F * ck!
It was too f*cking terrifying!
It was simply a ghost story!
What kind of concept was LV1?
In the new world, due to the high degree of realism of the Sacred Soul, after transmigration, humans could live just like they did in real life.
Love, marriage, having children.
Every newborn had their own game panel.
When they first came out of their mothers’ wombs, they were already at Level 1.
Most of the children in the novice village would be able to clear [Novice Teaching] and become adventurers after they grew into teenagers.
In other words, Lu Qingge’s level would forever be the same as those brats who hadn’t been weaned.
It’s simply f * cking ridiculous.
However, this was not the only thing that caused him a headache.
On Lu Qingge’s interface, the [Profession] column was also empty!
In other words, he was a player.
However, he was neither a Swordsman nor a Warrior.
He was definitely not a Ranger or Mage.
To put it nicely, he was a [Rogue Cultivator].
To put it bluntly, he was a derp.
Other than that, there was another fatal matter.
The other players’ skill interface was in the form of a skill tree.
Skills that could be learned and mastered were lit up.
Those who had not yet learned were dark.
As for Lu Qingge, he was amazing.
There was only one sprout in his skill panel.
Yes, that’s right.
Other people had skill trees, but he had a skill sprout…
It was f*cking ridiculous!
When Lu Qingge first saw the screen, he exploded.
He didn’t even have a single skill, so what was the point of playing!
Normal players were born with three basic skills of their class.
Passing the [Novice Teaching] dungeon was a piece of cake as long as he had hands.
As for Lu Qingge, he could only use his fists to attack the opponents.
The worst thing was that he couldn’t get an A!
In [Novice Teaching] dungeon, there was only one room and one monster in the dungeon.
That was the Lord Boss itself.
It had its own protection mechanism. Every ten times it received damage, a shockwave would erupt.
Not only could the shockwave cause damage, but it could also send nearby players flying.
However, this protection mechanism was actually very useless.
After all, it was a beginner’s tutorial, so the boss would not be that strong.
If ten skills were thrown at him and he did not die, he would be severely crippled.
But Lu Qingge was an accident.
He could only attack the Boss ten times, and then he was sent flying by the shock wave because of the close-range attack.
Although the damage of the shockwave was not too high and it was actually a little too weak…
A Lv1 noob dog’s normal attack damage was even lower…
Before Lu Qingge could kill the boss with his small fists, his thin HP bar had already been shattered by the shock wave.
This was the reason why Lu Qingge couldn’t clear [Novice Teaching] at all.
But later, things seemed to have taken a turn for the better.
Not long after, Lu Qingge realized.
He seemed to have an experience bar.
However, the experience bar did not seem right.
Because it wasn’t long.
It was a round [Experience Pool].
Yes, that’s right.
It was big, round, and very moist.
As for the experience points that Lu Qingge had obtained…
It was as if all of them would flow into this [Experience Pool] and turn into pool water.
When the pool water was about to fill up…
The area of the [Experience Pool] would also increase accordingly.
On the contrary, it shrank.
At the same time, Lu Qingge also noticed a detail.
His [Skill Shoot] was rooted near the [Experience Pool].
In other words.
This skill shoot was most likely nourished by the [Experience Pool].
As expected.
When he checked the details of [Skill Shoot], he found this item.
[Lv1 Skill Tree (0/000)]
At that moment, Lu Qingge had a shocking guess guess.
“Hiss!”
“Could it be…”
“This skill shoot can be upgraded?”
“And the source of the experience points…”
“Could it be the [Experience Pool]?”
In order to verify this conjecture, Lu Qingge began his year-long operation.
There was only one wild boss in the [Novice Teaching] dungeon.
Therefore, there were only three ways to gain experience.
The first was the experience gained from killing the Boss.
The second was the experience gained from clearing the dungeon.
Thirdly, the encouragement experience gained from failing the instance dungeon. To put it bluntly, it was the consolation experience.
The consolation experience from the [Novice Teaching] dungeon was very little, so little that it was almost negligible.
Basically, he would only get 1 point each time. Sometimes, he would get 2 points.
Therefore…
In order to accumulate enough experience to level up the bean sprout, he had worked hard for a whole year!
Every time he died in [Novice Teaching], he would earn one or two experience points.
Then, after death, after the [Weakened] state that prohibited him from entering the dungeon again passed, he continued with the next [Novice Teaching].
After such perseverance and repeated cycles, Lu Qingge had finally made it to this day.
Today was the day to witness a miracle.
Experience Pool: 999
He was just short of a little bit of experience.
[Level 1 Skill Tree]
He was just short of dying again!
…
“Come on.”
“Brother Boss, where are you?”
He looked at the numbers on the panel.
Lu Qingge was full of fighting spirit as he strode into the [Novice Teaching] dungeon.
