Chapter 29: 28: "Star Coin Mall
```
Just as Chen Miao and his companion were wondering why the military tent wasn't refreshing enemies, a panel abruptly appeared before their eyes.
"Ding, secret realm completion announcement."
"Congratulations to Supernatural Profession Player Chen Miao for successfully completing the F-class multiplayer map 'Medal of Warfire' with a 100% perfect progress, earning a perfect completion rating and the following rewards."
"Player Level Experience +100 (Experience earned within the secret realm +823), total Experience Points earned 923."
"And honored to be ranked No. 367 on Fengtian City's 'Perfect Completion Leaderboard', please keep up the good work and continue to strive for higher achievements."
"The perfect completion condition for this secret realm: Cause the military tent, which can refresh enemies indefinitely, to experience a moment of vacuum."
Upon seeing this panel, Chen Miao nodded in understanding.
This was an Experience Secret Realm.
That is, there were no Star Coins as a reward, nor any material drops, nothing at all, only experience was awarded.
Unlike most secret realms.
Almost all secret realms initially appear in the wild, and only after a player completes one perfectly is it included in the corresponding city's Secret Realm Building for other players to enter.
Experience Secret Realms are recorded in the corresponding city's Secret Realm Building from the start.
And you will never see an Experience Secret Realm in the wild.
He had thought that it was impossible to achieve a perfect completion rating in a secret realm without a completion quest, as you couldn't just kill all the enemies inside the realm, but now it seemed he was mistaken.
This secret realm had a refresh timer for the military tents, approximately every four to five minutes a new group of enemies would spawn from a tent, but they did not all refresh at the same time; it was done in batches, so there were always enemies emerging from the tents.
And the prerequisite for a perfect completion rating was to hit the timing just right, quickly clearing out the spawned enemies, and then ensuring that for a moment, all the military tents had no enemies coming out, thus achieving a perfect completion.
However...
The perfect completion of an Experience Secret Realm rewarded no additional rewards other than 100 experience points.
It also wasted his 3 minutes since the secret realm could have lasted for another 3 minutes, but perfect completion meant leaving early. When he did the math, it felt like a bit of a loss.
The only benefit was that he was now ranked No. 367 on "Fengtian City's Perfect Completion Leaderboard," which meant the task for his E-class limited-time prop 'First Show of Sharpness' was completed, allowing him to retain the staff.
Sure enough, taking advantage of the minute or two before his return, he checked the staff's panel.
"Prop Name": First Show of Sharpness.
"Prop Level": D-class (upgraded once).
"Prop Effect": Ignores the restriction that only one occupational weapon can be crafted, allows the owner's name to appear wrapped in Rainbow Brilliance when highlighted in rankings, announcements, or any other instances where the owner's name is displayed.
"Prop Restriction": None.
"Prop Source": A small chance to obtain this prop upon perfectly completing a secret realm on the player's first visit, and it can only be obtained this way. Once obtained, it is bound forcefully, not tradable, not giftable, and unusable by other Supernatural Profession Players.
"Prop Description": "This prop is a tribute to the glory of a genius youth who showed an edge upon first entering a secret realm! Whether you are a fleeting genius or an unstoppable force, it is for you to decide."
"ps: The first stage task has been completed. The second stage task—if the prop holder ranks in the top 100 of any Fengtian City leaderboard within fourteen days, the prop is retained and upgraded; otherwise, it will be reclaimed."
"Hm?"
Chen Miao looked at the effect on the prop panel and furrowed his brows as he opened up Fengtian City's Perfect Completion Evaluation Leaderboard. There, ranked No. 367, he found his name, with other players' names in gray.
Only his name was in Rainbow Brilliance, standing out conspicuously.
Player names in the first few dozens of ranks were in red, pink, blue, all quite nice to look at, but none exhibited the Rainbow Brilliance. He had only seen such a light effect on names in the "Federation Level Leaderboard."
The player at the top of the federation level leaderboard, a lv.67 Holy Demon Envoy, had a name wrapped in Rainbow Brilliance. To be exact, nearly all of the names in the top hundred ranks looked that way, suggesting great power.
This was the effect brought by his staff's ascension to the second stage, but as for its specific use... well, it didn't seem much useful.
Since he hadn't given up anything for it, there was no harm in using something that came for free, so there wasn't much to fret about.
What slightly surprised him, though, was that as the staff ascended to D-class, it underwent a subtle change. The pitch-black luster of the staff was now adorned with deep blue stars, giving it a more sophisticated look.
This was his first D-class prop.
But he hadn't felt the power that should come with a D-class prop; it seemed the symbolic honor of the prop mattered more than the prop's utility.
Probably many players across the federation had earned this prop, but no one truly owned it, as it would be reclaimed for failing to complete a certain stage of the task.
He wondered if anyone had ever upgraded this prop to its ultimate stage.
If he could become the first player to upgrade the prop to its ultimate stage, he would likely receive massive rewards.
...
Chen Miao stopped pondering over it and stored the Thompson Submachine Gun back into his backpack, resting on the staff with one hand as he looked at his personal player panel.
"Player Name": Chen Miao.
"Player Level": 3 (423/1000).
"Profession Name": Gunner (awaiting job transfer).
After toiling so long in this Experience Secret Realm, he had finally leveled up to 3 and even had a surplus of over 400 experience points. Just about 500 more experience points and he would level up to 4.
And as a Supernatural Profession Player, reaching level 3 meant starting to prepare for class advancement.
Level 3 is the first stage of class advancement.
And for a "Gunner" profession, there is only one class advancement at this stage, which is "Heavy Gunner"!
"Job Transfer Conditions": Clear 3 secret realms, complete a total of 100 kills in secret realms, and spend 500 Star Coins.
"Once the job transfer conditions are met, one can transfer at any time."
He had long completed the 100 kills condition, and 500 Star Coins didn't seem too hard to manage, even though he didn't have them. However, the prerequisite of clearing 3 secret realms was not yet met— he was short of one more to be able to transfer jobs.
At the same time—
After reaching level 3, he was notified that the "Star Coin Mall" feature had been unlocked.
In the "Star Coin Mall," he saw many items for sale, where Supernatural Profession Players could shop with Star Coins, with purchased items being delivered in real time to their backpack or directly to their hands if the backpack was full.
