“Experience shop?”

"What is this?"

"Experience can be exchanged for skill proficiency, combat skills, or even spells?"

In the square of Northwind Castle, players crowded in front of the signboard of the Burning Kingdom, making noisy arguments.

"Who the hell brought the dragon here?"

"Let me test, what is this?"

"Mantou, stop squeezing me!"

"Damn it, this is cheating, go line up at the back!"

"What do you mean by cheating? As a peace officer, I should evacuate the crowd and prevent accidents. This is called a sense of responsibility."

"Let me see, let me see."

Mantou pulled Noodles through the crowd, and with the help of the huge body of this two-legged flying dragon, he pushed aside the people gathered in front of the billboard and made a path.

“Experience store.”

“It looks like something.”

Mantou was stroking his chin in deep thought, but was picked up by the strong man behind him.

"Don't stand in the way!"

"wipe"

"Good job!"

The crowd cheered.

The upper level limit of the public beta version is level eight, and most ordinary players are still hovering below level four, with some casual newbies not even reaching level two.

However, many of the main players of the top giants and professional individual players are about to reach this threshold.

I don’t know how long it will take before the next major version update, and there will definitely be surplus experience by then.

Currently, the locations where experience stores are open include [Tower of the Giant Intelligent One], [Red Scale Garrison], [Imperial Military Training Camp], [Wasteland Shooting Range], [Lizardman Wasteland Hunting Ground], etc.

You can learn spells, riding, military, hunting, ruling and other skill proficiency, as well as various combat skills, and even browse some information in the kingdom's great library.

However, there is a hard requirement to open the experience store - being a vassal of the empire and having a certain amount of dragon blood.

"With this new system, Xin Gou will definitely come up with a guide."

Mantou opened the forum.

Sure enough, there are several guides on the forum.

When Mantou just learned the news, Singo had already visited all the open experience store locations in advance and quickly put together a guide. His efficiency was astonishing.

“Experience Shop Guide (Newbie Edition)”

“In Erezega, leveling up is certainly important, but for new players in the early stages, using the [Experience Store] to redeem abilities may allow you to progress faster in the early stages.”

"Even if you upgrade to a level 4 warrior with higher basic attributes and skills, it is still difficult to display your strength without combat skills."

"And the proficiency items such as Sword Skills, Horsemanship, and Sports in the Imperial Military Training Camp can play a very good effect. With the right combination, only about a thousand experience points are needed to obtain greater gains than simply increasing the level."

“Also, if you are a casual player, I suggest you go directly to a place like the North Wind Castle Technical Training Institute to learn a craft.

Whether it is [Crafts Manufacturing], [Armor Forging] or [Potion Making], you can get a good income, enough to live a relatively wealthy life."

Seeing this, Mantou nodded.

Even though this guy has some holes in his brain, he is still quite professional in the field of game strategies, and at least he is trustworthy.

However, these posts are aimed at new players and casual players. They are not very useful for experienced players like Mantou who has the advanced profession of [Red Scale Conqueror] and has drunk the Dragon Blood Potion.

He continued to scroll down and sure enough, new posts appeared.

“Experience Store Guide (Advanced Edition)”

"With the current version's level cap at 8, any professional player should have reached the top. By the way, I've already gained surplus experience points."

Mantou spat secretly.

"Damn it, he has to act cool even when writing a guide, he's really hopeless."

He turned around and looked at his level panel with a little guilt.

Level 7 (28800/34000 XP)

"It shouldn't be."

"Where does he get so much experience?"

Mantou thought he had worked hard enough to gain experience.

In the previous war, he roamed the northern countries on his wyvern, made countless dives, and conservatively estimated to have killed hundreds of northern soldiers.

Just three days ago, he had taken on a mission to wipe out bandits, and he had burned down a bandit hideout hiding in the woods - even though he pocketed all the looted supplies.

"Damn, it must be the Viscount's welfare."

Mantou thought angrily.

He also participated in the coronation ceremony which was a special effects celebration, but he only received the title of baron, which was still surpassed by Singo.

He also enjoyed benefits such as camp contribution and gold coin salary, and even spent most of his savings to buy shares of Claude Military Industry, which earned him considerable dividends every month.

Mantou continued to browse the guide.

“Based on the time interval between the last internal beta, the next major version update may appear in a year - and this period is the best time for us to widen the gap with others.”

"There are already 110,000 players of Erezega now, and this number is still growing. If we want to occupy the best resources, we must widen the gap with other players."

“Never be stingy with your experience, and don’t save it for the next version. After all, experience will depreciate.”

"Five thousand experience points was an astronomical number during the internal test, but now it's just a few side quests."

"Experience is a thing that should not be wasted. The sooner you use it, the sooner you will reap the benefits."

"Next, I will list several major professions' [Experience Store] redemption recommendations."

"By the way, the sub-class [Dragon Pact Warlock] obtained in the recently built [Tower of Wicked Fire] is a very powerful magic class, but its job transfer task is extremely demanding. Please weigh the pros and cons and consider it as appropriate."

"[Red Scale Conqueror] recommends exchanging for the following proficiency items: [Riding], [Gun Skills], [Scouting], and [Archery]. It is recommended that you stack your riding skill to above 10 as much as possible. I have personally experienced the effect."

"【Dragon Paladin】I recommend exchanging the following proficiency items: 【Sword Skills】, 【Shield Skills】, 【Military Skills】, and 【Sports】."

"Also, I suggest that you all buy a portrait of the deputy emperor and hang it at home. The first thing you should do every day when you open your eyes is to salute the portrait and shout "loyalty" - it is said that a high degree of faith has a bonus effect on the Dragon Oath spell."

"You know what, Xin Gou's strategy guide is really full of valuable information."

Mantou read the guide carefully.

He wrote down a few key points related to [Red Scale Conqueror] and patted Noodles' neck.

"Noodles, let's go!"

The wyvern immediately lowered its head obediently, allowing Mantou to jump onto his back.

"Ow—"

Noodles let out a hoarse roar, flapped its wings, and under the envious gazes of a group of new players, it proudly flew towards the Red Scale Garrison with the steamed bun. (End of this chapter)
