BXBX NOVEL Chapter 45: Buying Exp Bottles at the Vortal Store
They were in Vortal Store, one of the best equipment shops in Solara City. Before departing on the mission with Liang Wei, they decided to visit this store.
The interior of Vortal Store was spacious. A large round lamp continuously rotated in the center of the ceiling, emitting positive energy that made everyone feel comfortable.
The walls were adorned with large, diverse advertisements. Some displayed golden items, silver armor, and luxurious black weapons, all of which were highly appealing.
Just like on Earth, large discount signs on the wall opposite the entrance greeted everyone who walked in. Observing the discount board for a while would evoke a desire to buy, as if it had a charm that piqued people's interest.
Lein randomly picked a showcase and started browsing the equipment on sale. Inside the glass case, various weapons such as swords, knives, maces, chains, and more were neatly displayed. Besides equipment, there were also other items like healing pills, skill books, and materials. The quality of the goods was even higher than the Tou Pavilion they visited earlier.
"Excuse me, Miss. Could you recommend items related to exp?" Lein asked, trying his luck.
"Of course, Sir," the female attendant responded promptly. She turned around, checked the showcase behind her, and retrieved a few bottles to show Lein and Nita.
(Tier 1 Exp Bottle)
- exp +10
*Price: 1 medium crystal
(Tier 2 Exp Bottle)
- exp +100
*Price: 10 medium crystals
(Tier 3 Exp Bottle)
- exp +1000
*Price: 30 medium crystals
(Tier 4 Exp Bottle)
- exp +10,000
*Price: 100 medium crystals
"Damn it!" Lein cursed inwardly. He hadn't expected items that provided exp to be openly sold. Previously, he treated the Alpha Orb as a priceless treasure, but now, items with 10,000 exp were right in front of him.
"Miss, is there a purchase limit for these exp bottles? And what are these exp bottles made of?" Lein asked curiously.
"There is no purchase limit, Sir. However, these items can only be used by players for maximum benefit. If used by other power cores, the benefits will be significantly reduced," the female attendant explained.
"These items are special and are not dropped by any living creatures. They are obtained by completing trials in the Sky Tower," she continued.
Lein and Nita listened attentively to the store attendant's explanation. The Sky Tower was a tower of unknown height that appeared only for seven days each year in specific locations on the players' islands.
With exp bottles, humans who were not interested in combat and violence could increase their level like other rulers. By increasing their level, the lifespan of humans extended several times.
The store attendant's explanation provided Lein and Nita with valuable information. However, for the woman in front of them, this information seemed like common knowledge.
"Are you newcomers?" the store attendant asked to confirm. "Your old Earth was destroyed, and now you're on a floating island?" she continued.
Lein and Nita felt like the female store attendant was revealing their deepest secrets.
"Hahaha... Relax, it's common knowledge. Not only we players experience this. Anyway, my advice to you is to level up quickly. And if a king election event appears, try to minimize killing among your own race," the store attendant said sincerely.
"Thank you, Officer Mei. We are very grateful for your valuable advice," Lein said sincerely, even bowing slightly.
"It's nothing... Relax," Mei replied, waving her hand.
"Officer Mei, we will buy all types of exp bottles. Are there higher tiers?" Lein asked.
Officer Mei was slightly surprised, then turned around, opened the glass showcase behind her, and retrieved a few more bottles.
"Of course, there are, but these bottles can only be purchased with high crystals," Officer Mei said as she lined up the newly retrieved bottles.
(Tier 5 Exp Bottle)
- exp +100,000
*Price: 10 high crystals
The last bottle looked larger and had a more premium design.
"This is the best bottle that can be obtained from the Divine Tower," added Officer Mei.
"Excellent... I'll buy them all," Lein said, pulling out a pouch containing 103 high crystals.
Officer Mei inspected the contents of the pouch and conducted a brief examination. A small smile appeared on her face.
"Hahaha, it seems Young Master Lein is quite wealthy."
Lein ignored Officer Mei's compliment and then thought about other items he would buy. He felt the players' store was more unique than the cultivators' store like the Tou Pavilion.
"Officer Mei, do you have any books you could recommend to us? Higher quality ones would be great," Lein said, hoping for some rare books to appear.
Officer Mei quickly checked the back of the showcase again, then retrieved several scrolls. She laid all the books on the showcase table: three golden books and seven blue books.

"Insane... So powerful..." Lein read the skill descriptions several times, ensuring there were no mistakes.
"How much are they, Officer Mei?" Lein asked.
"Each one costs 10 high crystals for legendary tier and 1 high crystal for rare tier skills," Officer Mei explained casually.
"Brother, ask if they have the plant Liang Wei is looking for," Nita suddenly asked from the side.
Every item sold in Vortal Store amazed and impressed her. She suddenly remembered the hidden mission from Liang Wei.
Only Nita had received the hidden mission from Liang Wei, so Lein had somewhat forgotten to ask earlier.
