My Experience Bar Is So Unusual - Chapter 32

Chapter 32: Hey Little Bro, Do You Want a Big Sword?

Translator: Zayn_

The next morning.

The sun was shining brightly, and the breeze was blowing.

At this moment, Caroline, who was sitting in front of her desk, felt extremely uncomfortable.

Because this morning, Lu Qingge, who usually was the first to sit in front of her and start a new day for her, did not appear.

This was an indescribable feeling.

When you get used to the existence of something and it suddenly disappears one day, even though it might not mean much to you, you would still be unable to restrain yourself from having a subtle feeling.

It was neither disappointment nor sadness.

It was just that sometimes, you would inexplicably feel that it would be better when that thing was around.

“That fellow, could it be that he has caught a cold?”

Caroline chewed on the unpalatable wholly-wheat bread, and her mind was filled with wild thoughts.

..

“Achooo!”

Lu Qingge rubbed his nose and looked puzzled. “Who’s scolding me?”

At the same time, Lu Qingge, who knew nothing about this, was walking toward the back street of Zhenbei.

Zhenbei Street was an old neighborhood in the north of Gran Town.

The locals of Gran Town generally liked to directly call it the “back street.”

Even Lu Qingge, who hadn’t been to the town area for an entire year after he came here, was stunned.

He had also heard many stories about Zhenbei Street.

Previously, when he was chatting with some small merchants at the Frontier Camp, Lu Qingge learned that as early as ten years ago, Zhenbei Street was the most bustling and prosperous place in the entire Gran Town.

If one had to make an analogy, that was equivalent to the current Central Business District of Gran Town, Hutton Street.

There was a reason why Zhenbei Street was so prosperous back then.

According to the old stall owner, it was because ten years ago, there was a wild area near Zhenbei Street.

At that time, Gran Forest was just an ordinary forest.

There were no Slime or Goblin there.

There were also no players or adventurer teams that could be seen everywhere.

The only thing that existed were only young couples who loved to run at night.

Even in its heyday. In the wilderness of the back street of Zhenbei, a medium-sized dungeon had appeared once.

At that time, it was as if the New Year had come early in Gran Town. The streets were full and bustling with activity.

At that time, there were still many young adventurers in Gran Town.

The hot-blooded young people rushed to Zhenbei Street to challenge a rare dungeon in a small place like Gran Town.

Therefore, in those few years, Zhenbei Back Street quickly developed.

But unfortunately…

Not to mention a place like Zhenbei Backstreet, no matter how prosperous the world was, it could not escape the tears of the times.

In the new version that was constantly being updated and iterated, Zhenbei Back Street’s jungle and dungeon gradually disappeared.

From then on, the Back Street began to decline.

In the end, it became a story that could only be passed down by the older generation of Gran Town.

And ten years later today, even though the once bustling back street of Zhenbei were still bustling with activity, this place had long become a place where all kinds of sellers gathered in Gran Town.

It was similar to the Frontier Camp.

This place was also at the edge of the town area, where management was relatively loose and scattered.

Lu Qingge had heard that it had been a while.

Some black markets in Gran Town were also hidden in some hidden corners of the back street.

Even at night, there were also some art shops here, which were lit up with warm pink lights like home.

They waited for the adventurers who were lost in the cold wind to come in and have a cup of hot tea to feel the warmth of the human world.

However, Lu Qingge didn’t have the time to pay attention to other things.

He only had one goal for coming here today.

That was to find a suitable weapon here.

In the backstreet, there were many equipment shops in the market.

Other than that, there were some strange consumables.

For example, [Blue Vine Grass], [Thorn Fruit], [Sunset Flower]… consumables like that.

Some of them could recover HP, while others could recover mana.

However, they couldn’t be compared to the [HP Potion] and [MP Potion] sold by the Warm Spring Store. The [HP Potion] and [MP Potion] were much better.

These consumables all had one thing in common, and that was that their recovery effects were rather unstable.

Compared to [Wild Blackberry], their production in Gran Town was pitifully low.

Therefore, Lu Qingge didn’t intend to consider these non-mainstream consumables.

For the current him, [Fine Wild Blackberry] was already the most suitable supplement for him, and it had the best effect.

Hence, during the time he had walked all the way here, Lu Qingge’s gaze was focused on the dazzling array of weapons.

Adventurers came and went around him. People of different levels and ages could be seen everywhere. As well as those who hid their levels and IDs. Lu Qingge was one of the latter.

As a LV1 adventurer, he would naturally not reveal his level in such a public place.

Otherwise, his dazzling [LV1] brand would have been dazzling.

When he walked on the streets, he would inevitably attract the shock and strong onlookers from all walks of life.

The moniker [Backstreet] made it sound small.

However, when Lu Qingge came here personally and strolled around for a while… Only then did he realize that this block was actually much bigger than he had imagined.

From this, he could finally imagine how prosperous the back street might have been during its heyday.

However, even so…

In the end, Gran Town was just a small place.

Therefore, no matter how prosperous back street was, it was only so relatively-speaking.

If it was placed in a big city like Grace City, back street was naturally not worth mentioning.

After strolling around the back street slowly for about half an hour.

Lu Qingge’s attention was suddenly attracted by a shop.

Firstly, it was because…

The name of the shop was rather simple and unadorned.

It was called Reyna’s Weapon Shop.

Secondly, it was because…

Lu Qingge had been strolling all the way until now and this shop seemed to be the equipment shop with the most swords. It was obvious. The shop owner should be a [Blacksmith] who specialized in forging [Swordsman] class equipment.

Just like [Pharmacist], the so-called [Blacksmith] was also one of the secondary professions in the world of “Sacred Soul”.

As the name implied, they were the craftsmen who forged weapons.

In this new world where adventurers were the main force, there were many sub-occupations like [Pharmacist] or [Blacksmith]. The social status and recognition they could obtain were also very high.

Therefore, there were many relatively wealthy families. In order to prevent their children from facing the danger of a head-on battle, they would simply send their children to learn the skills of the secondary profession and treat the secondary profession as their main profession.

For example, in the Orensted Empire, there were some very famous Alchemist Guild and Blacksmith Guild.

Many of them had high-level players who relied on the class skills of their secondary occupation.

They could even compare to some mages of lower status, or even mages of the same status.

However, such a thing was still too far away for Lu Qingge.

Not to mention the Level 20 [Class Advancement Ceremony], which was still far away, right now, he didn’t even have a [Class].

It was a pain in the *ss.

“Clang!”

“Clang!”

“Clang!”

“..”

As soon as Lu Qingge walked into the shop, the crisp sound of metal being forged could be heard from inside.

There was a muscular, tanned man with a bare upper body.

He reached out and wiped the sweat off his face, then raised his head and looked at Lu Qingge with a smile.

“Hey, little bro! Do you want a big sword?”
