"I'm warning you, don't play dumb with me."
Ross pointed at Ackerman's nose, his eyes burning. "If he didn't have a health potion, how could that kid complete the F-1 bounty mission in such a short time?"
"Not to mention a trash like him, even a player of my level and strength might not be able to guarantee it!"
Ackerman was stunned.
"That's impossible, right? Seriously? If I remember correctly, that was a mission that only the really unlucky ones would accept."
"That pendant will only drop after killing thousands of Goblins! Only a fool would do such a thing, right?" Ackerman tried his best to explain.
Ross naturally wouldn't let it go.
In the entire Gran Town, only Ackerman's Warm Spring Store had Health Potions for sale.
As for the other consumables and supplies, they could only be bought at the [Mall].
However, there were a lot of people waiting to buy it every day in that place.
Lu Qingge wasn't possessed by a god of luck that he could always snatch so many goods. And even if he managed to snatch it, it wouldn't be that big of an improvement.
The healing effects of those supplies could not be as good and stable as the Health Potions.
So...
Other than Ackerman and Lu Qingge secretly making a deal and messing with him, Ross really couldn't think of any other reasonable explanation.
Ackerman was forced to defend himself for a long time, and he was even forced to swear on his mother's name. Ross finally believed that he hadn't turned his back on him.
"That's really f * cking evil."
"If it wasn't for you, then where did he get his supplies?" Ross cursed with a gloomy expression.
He didn't need to replenish himself, yet he could get [Exquisite Shell Pendant] so quickly.
This kind of thing, even if the Heavenly king came, he would not be able to do it!
..
After leaving the Warm Spring Store, Ross immediately called Dewey.
"Hello, Brother Ross! I'm here. What is it?" Dewey's voice came from the other side.
"Go to the team immediately and find a few reliable people."
"From tomorrow onwards, let them stroll around the outer and deeper parts of Gran Forest. Tell them to find that guy called Qingge. Follow him closely and see what he has been up to recently!" Ross said coldly.
"Alright, I'll do it right away." Dewey immediately replied.

"Eighty-four…"
"Eighty-five…"
"Eighty-six…"
"..."
The night deepened.
At this moment.
Inside a residential building.
Lu Qingge was moving his body up and down, doing push-ups.
Ten minutes ago, he had finished his frog jump and squat training, and now he was starting to do the familiar and happy push-ups.
These days, Lu Qingge had been persisting in his bare-handed strength training.
When his [Vitality] increased by two points, Lu Qingge realized that this kind of training method without extra weights seemed to gradually become easier.
At the same time, he also noticed that the growth of his Vitality seemed to have reached a bottleneck.
After a period of rapid improvement at the beginning, his current progress was like a stuck machine, as slow as an old turtle crawling.
However, Lu Qingge wasn't in a hurry.
On the contrary, the explosive improvement that happened overnight would make him feel uneasy.
"You just have to work hard, the rest is up to heaven's will."
This was a sentence that Lu Qingge had heard when he was still a student. He couldn't remember where he had heard it.
At that time, he was much younger than he was now, so he did not quite understand the meaning of this sentence.
After experiencing more things, he finally had some understanding of this.
"I often feel anxious and troubled. But in fact, the source of my anxiety and worry is that I always think too much and do too little."
"I desperately wanted an answer and a result, but the more I looked forward to it, the less it came."
"I only understood later. In this impetuous era, taking it slow is the greatest determination and sincerity."
The sixteen-year-old Lu Qingge scratched his thick hair.
He wrote in his diary with emotion.
"That's why I said… Life seems to always have thousands of choices. But there is only one path to beauty, light, and happiness."
"That is-"
"Grinding!"
Just like Lu Qingge now.
He did not expect that the short-term training would improve his quality.
That was the only thing he believed in.
There were only beads of sweat that seeped out of every pore, and every step on the sand.
"Very good. Today's strength training is complete again. Time to reward myself with a bottle of happiness."
Lu Qingge took out a can of soda from the fridge and pried open the tab.
He opened his interface as he clicked on the button.
Sacred Soul Coins: 28,217
[ Experience Pool: 4,906]
[ Lv2 Skill Tree (0/5000)]
"It's alright. Just as I had expected."
"The Sacred Soul Coins from the F-1 Bounty Mission, plus the money I saved up are enough to buy a good sword."
Lu Qingge thought to himself.
In reality.
In the beginning, Lu Qingge didn't know what class he should choose.
He would hesitate in the class selection interface.
In fact, Lu Qingge was still searching the forums for all sorts of guides regarding the player classes.
Who would have thought that he would have a BUG?
This was great.
The first skill that the [Skill Tree] gave him was [Stellar Slash].
In this way, Lu Qingge didn't need to spend time thinking about it.
He just had to follow the Swordsman's path and start the game.
The Swordsman class had always been the most common class in the entire Sacred Soul Continent.
Compared to other classes, it was easier for them to get started, and their minimum limit was not low.
Therefore, it was a class that was suitable for both young and old, and could be played by players of all kinds and all walks of life.
However, the downside was that the upper limit of Swordsman was relatively low.
Therefore, there were very few Swordsman players who could stand out among the billions of adventurers.
When the game reached the late stages, most Swordsmen in the team were basically people who did dirty and tiring work.
Similar to Swordsman, there were also physical classes like Warrior.
It was just like his previous life where knowledge changed fate.
In the new world, people's pursuit of magic was probably the same as the pursuit of knowledge in his previous life.
Unfortunately…
After coming to the new world and staying in Gran Town for so long…
Not to mention a living, breathing mage, Lu Qingge hadn't even seen items and tools that had magic added to them.
However, at this stage, this was not all a bad thing.
After all, there was another benefit to [Swordsman].
It was easy to get started!
[Swordsman] barely consumed mana, his equipment was cheap, and his skin was thick and durable.
It was simply the best class to use in the early stages of the game.
For example, with his current savings, it was basically not a problem to buy a sword of slightly better quality.
But if he wanted to buy a magic staff, he might not even be able to buy a piece of the hottest and cheapest white-grade ones. Not to mention the other defensive equipment.
"Other than that, the most important thing is… Other than the portion consumed to create [Fine Wild Blackberry], the experience required to level up the [Skill Tree]..."
"After grinding [Goblins] for a period of time, I've almost collected all of it."
"At this rate, it won't be long before I can unlock new skills."
Lu Qingge silently pondered in his heart.
Soon, he made up his mind.
"There is no time to lose. When tomorrow arrives, I'll quickly arrange for the equipment!"
