During this period of time, Caroline gradually began to get used to something that happened every day.
Early in the morning, Lu Qingge would arrive at the office early to accept a bounty mission.
And without exception, the bounty missions he accepted, almost all of them were related to Slimes.
The only subtle change that had been happening was that every time this person came back to hand in the mission, the [transparent colloid] in his hand would be a little more than the last time.
While they were chatting, she also learned that…
Most of the bounty Lu Qingge received after completing [Slime]'s mission.
It seemed that he had spent all of it to buy [Stamina Potions] and the food and water needed for leveling.
Caroline was speechless and mentally exhausted.
This was because ever since this guy started to target the Slimes in a frenzied manner, she began to receive something one after another.
It was a letter of complaints from some newbie players.
Moreover, the content was roughly the same.
Basically, they were all expressing their dissatisfaction with the Hero Association.
And the reason for their dissatisfaction was because of the quest related to Slime.
Recently, the bounty had suddenly decreased.
However, Caroline could not provide a solution.
After all, the reward for the Hero Association's missions was mainly dependent on supply and demand.
Logically speaking, under normal circumstances, in a small place like Grand Town, the relationship between supply and demand was particularly stable.
For so many years, this balance had never been broken.
But recently, every day, Lu Qingge would bring a large amount of [transparent colloid] to the association on time.
Then, he forcefully broke the balance that had been stable for many years.
When supply exceeded demand, the association no longer needed so many drops of [Slime].
Therefore, the bounty naturally dropped.
Hence, this caused many low-level players to be dissatisfied.
After all, for players of their level, other than [Slime], there was indeed no other choice.
If the association still lowered the bounty at this time, their leveling and living costs would naturally rise as a result.
However, these players were not the internal staff of the association, so they naturally did not understand the reason.
Hence, there was no other way.
Caroline had no choice but to patiently appease these newbies over and over again.
"So, what kind of crimes did these slimes commit in their entire lives to meet this guy in this lifetime?"
Caroline was very tired.
However, she had always been professional.
However, she couldn't help but reveal a standard smile and say in standard greeting, "Good morning, Mr. Lu! Is today the same F-9 bounty mission as usual?"
Lu Qingge, who was sitting across from her, nodded and replied with a smile, "Yes, Miss Caroline. Same old, three commissions first."
"Alright."
Caroline used her strong muscle memory to quickly find F-9 from the commission list.
At the same time, she quickly scanned the information on Lu Qingge's interface.
This person…
Why was he still Level 1?
Caroline was speechless.
How long had it been?
From what she remembered, it had already been half a month…
Moreover, this guy had been killing monsters with such high intensity.
Even if it was just a [Slime], he shouldn't be only LV1, right?
Could it be that this person's materials were really bought from others?
And did he clear [Novice Teaching] or not?
"Speaking of which, Mr. Lu, a long time has passed."
"Are you really not going to try other bounty missions?"
Caroline asked with a smile.
Although she knew very well in her heart that she probably wouldn't be able to persuade a stubborn fellow like Lu Qingge, she had to give it a try.
She really didn't want to waste any more time and energy.
She spent it on handling the complaints sent by other new players every day.
"Eh?"
"You even found out?"
" That's right." Lu Qingge nodded. "That's exactly what I meant."
"So, if nothing goes wrong, today should be my last time hunting a [Slime]."
"Really?"
Caroline was delighted. "That's great! Congratulations!"
"Then what are your plans?"
Lu Qingge smiled faintly."
"From tomorrow onwards, I will probably start hunting [Goblins]."
"Ah?"
Caroline blinked and was slightly stunned.
She didn't know why but she seemed to have a premonition that something was wrong…

In the evening.
Outside the Gran Forest.
"Stellar Slash!"
"Oowo!"
[ Ding!
You have killed Level 1 Slime!]
You have received: 1 transparent colloid!]
You have received: Exp +1!]
..
"Phew."
Lu Qingge slowly put down the wooden stick in his hand and heaved a long sigh of relief.
"Finally…"
"It's done."
This morning in the office hall, Lu Qingge's words to Caroline were true.
Today indeed was the last time he would farm [Slime].
He opened the skill panel.
The latest data was presented to Lu Qingge once again.
Experience Pool: 3000
Upgraded Stellar Slash: 0/3000
Yes, that's right.
He was probably very close his goal.
In less than half a month, he had earned 3000 experience points from killing [Slimes].
He had been waiting for this moment for a long time.
He locked his thoughts onto the [Stellar Slash] icon on the skill tree.
[ Do you wish to advance Level 10 Stellar Slash?]
"Yes!"
Lu Qingge did not hesitate.
A familiar scene appeared once again.
As if it was a 300-pound child who had not eaten for a month and a half, the skill tree opened its mouth greedily. It began to absorb the water in the experience pool.
Soon, not long after, the 3,000 experience points of the pool water were all drunk by the skill tree.
After that, this water followed the branch and slowly flowed towards the location of [ Lv10 Stellar Slash].
Ding!
[Congratulations!]
[ 3000 EXP consumed. Enlightenment: Level 10 Stellar Slash!]
[ You have unlocked a new skill form: Thundering Stellar Slash!]
..
[ Skill: Thundering Stellar Slash]
[ Description: Slashes out a fierce sword aura, causing a certain amount of light attribute damage to the enemy with an electric shock effect!]
Effect 1: Compared to the basic Stellar Slash, the speed of the Thundering Stellar Slash's sword aura is increased by 50%!]
Effect 2: The electric shock will cause the target to enter a state of paralysis. This state lasts for 0.5 seconds.]
[Effect 3: Electric shock has a chain effect. It can cause multiple chain damage to the units gathered around the target.]
[Effect 4: The " Chain Effect " can only affect five units.]
[Note: Thundering Stellar Slash is the same as the Stellar Slash.]
