11 If I Continue Like This, I'll be Left Behind!

[56 transparent colloid]

He looked at his backpack and then at the time.

Lu Qingge fell into deep thought.

It was only noon…

In just half a day, he had already completed the bounty mission.

In fact, it might even exceed the quota.

At this time, the surrounding temperature began to rise.

The sun's altitude gradually rose.

If one raised their head, one could see that in the gaps between the leaves and branches of the dense canopy, scorching sunlight leaked through and sprinkled on the forest that was covered with fallen leaves.

Lu Qingge could clearly feel it.

The back of his clothes was already drenched.

He looked around and could see it.

At this time, there were already quite a number of teams returning from the forest one after another.

The main reason was that it was still too hot at noon.

If they continued to jungle, there was indeed a possibility of a heatstroke.

Therefore, it was usually at this time that the teams would choose to return to the Frontier Camp first and rest for a while.

Or they could just return to Gran Town and go to Moonlight Tavern not far from the town gate.

Players would order a few dishes and drink a few cups of the best [Thorn Fruit Wine].

Then, they would book a guest room and rest for a few hours.

They would continue to fight in the jungle when the afternoon sun was not as violent.

However, Lu Qingge was a little hesitant.

"Lunch break?"

"Isn't it a waste of time?"

Rubbing his chin, Lu Qingge once again fell into deep thought.

If he did the same, then he would have to wait until at least three o'clock in the afternoon before he could continue hunting in the wild.

This way, he would have to waste a full three hours of effort.

Three hours, three hours!

Lu Qingge suddenly felt a burst of pain.

Three hours, how much could he do?

Lu Qingge recalled.

He had just graduated and was working at his first company.

They rested at noon.

His colleagues began to order takeout and watch variety shows while eating lunch.

However, Lu Qingge was different from them.

He liked to finish his afternoon work during his lunch break.

If he had finished his afternoon work… then he would do the next day's work.

In the beginning, Lu Qingge felt that this rhythm was pretty good.

Not long after that, Lu Qingge realized.

He often finished the week's work before Wednesday.

Thus, for the next two days, Lu Qingge, who had nothing to do, felt very distressed.

"I'm numb."

"Why is this job so boring?"

"This is too boring!"

At that time, Lu Qingge had complained in this manner.

Lu Qingge, who had nothing to do, felt helpless.

Only at this moment, he casually learned some new business knowledge, called old and new customers, and wrote a plan for a new project.

He used these methods to pass the boring leisure time before the weekend.

After that, it was very baffling.

That year, he became the "New Star Champion" and "Business Expert".

Until now, Lu Qingge still did not understand.

How did he get the honor so easily?

But from then on, Lu Qingge learned something.

That was - in three hours, a lot of things could really be done!

"Right now, I'm still a newcomer who has just come into contact with [Bounty Mission]."

"I don't know enough about the environment in the wild, and I don't know much about the habits and characteristics of slimes."

"Those experienced seniors can take this opportunity to slack off and rest, but I can't."

At the thought of this, Lu Qingge suddenly felt that…

A deep sense of danger had hit him like a huge rock.

"So!"

"I have to spend more time on leveling up, or else I won't be able to catch up with the players of the same generation."

"If I fall behind every day, this will accumulate over time."

"I'll be left behind by those bastards who cultivate in secret until I can't even see the taillights!"

Lu Qingge was so frightened that he shuddered on the spot and stood up from the ground with a whoosh.

"Time waits for no man. I have to seize the time to continue leveling up!"

After saying that, Lu Qingge took out the bread he had bought.

Then, he took out a bottle of [Stamina Potion] from his backpack.

A mouthful of bread and a mouthful of medicine.

With that, he quickly settled his lunch.

After the [Stamina Potion] started to take effect, the soreness and fatigue in his body were gradually alleviated.

"This medicine is really too useful."

"If there's a chance in the future, I'll have to store more."

Lu Qingge thought to himself.

He picked up the wooden stick that had been changed more than ten times and once again plunged into the forest.

...

Unknowingly, time passed.

A few hours later.

It was already afternoon.

At this point, the intensity of the sunlight began to decrease.

A three-man team walked out of the Frontier Camp and entered the Gran Forest again.

After an afternoon of rest, they had recovered a lot from the fatigue of the morning.

When they passed by a small area of the forest, the three of them suddenly stopped in their tracks.

"This place…"

"What happened?"

Everyone was stunned.

At this moment.

On the ground in the forest, on the surrounding tree trunks, on the branches above their heads…

There were glowing fluorescent particles everywhere.

These particles had not yet disappeared from the map, they were the remains of wild monsters.

It was obvious.

This place had just experienced a brutal massacre not long ago.

"Didn't you notice?"

"The number of slimes around seems to have decreased a lot."

The girl whispered.

"Usually, there are a lot of Slimes spawning here. There were still a lot of them this morning."

"Hey, hey!"

"Look!"

The other boy suddenly stretched out a trembling finger and pointed in a certain direction in the distance.

"Isn't that guy...!"

The three of them turned their heads to look.

In the forest not far away, the boy they had met this morning...

He was holding a wooden stick and launching [Stellar Slash] at a slime in front of him.

"Fwaaa!"

The fluorescent particles flew everywhere.

The three of them were speechless.

Seeing this scene, the size of the psychological trauma for the three of them was rapidly expanding.

Tsk!

Could it be that this guy had been farming since this morning?

Didn't he need to eat and rest?

It wasn't just the three of them.

There were several other teams around, and they also noticed the existence of this person.

One by one, their faces were filled with [Fear.jpg].

"Let's go, let's go, let's go…"

The boy in the lead had an ugly expression on his face. He turned around silently and walked away quickly.

"I can't afford to offend him…"

"Let's go somewhere else…"

They were all around LV2 and LV3.

At this stage, the only wild monster that could be farmed was the [Slime].

Moreover, they had also accepted the bounty mission to kill [Slimes].

If he continued to stay near this fellow…

He was afraid that he would have to drink the northwest wind tonight.
