Reading a text doc?

[pers2981]

I am a giant noob, troll if you must

Hey so, Im making a simple rpg (turn based) game in vb... (please dont say IMPOSSIBLE or w.e). The combat system is going good but i got stuck on the exp system... right now im planing on using something like

( i know the code is fake/wrong )

PHP Code:

on monster death
     if monsterlv = "1" then + "250" exp

     if exp = < "250" then playerlv +1
       else 


I am now asking how would i do this part

Code:

if monsterlv = "1" then + "250" exp

Without having to do this

Code:

if monsterlv = "1" then + "250" exp
if monsterlv = "2" then + "500" exp
if monsterlv = "3" then + "750" exp
etc

Could i save the exp level thingys into a text doc or .dll ? and read it ?
