Quantum Leap - Vol. 10 Overpowered Awesomeness

C001 Under Armour? Trademark Infringement Lah Weii...!!!

I placed the newly acquired tanktop fresh out from the Fusion Chamber at 5 meters and pulled 3 shots in quick successions and found that the mesh steel stopped the velocity of both the medieval and modern weapons.

I was so happy that I could cry out loud. This technology if properly harnessed would bring a new revolutionary in armoured clothing. Hahahahha... I should call it Under Armour. Hahahaha... Trademark infringement woooiii....alright... Jokes aside now.

I grabbed the Studded Leather vest and placed it inside the fusion chamber and I place a Refined Steel plate inside it, closed the door and yanked the handle.

*DING* Creation Success! Epic Class 3 Sockets Mesh Steel Reinforced Studded Leather Vest Created!

I removed the vest from the chamber and inspected it and find that it had now been properly fused inside the vest. Wait... What did I hear just now? I pressed the R button to rewind what it had said and it repeated once more.

EPIC CLASS 3 SOCKET...!!! From a Common class, it jumped to Rare and settled at Epic instead...!! From class 1 level 4 it had leapt to class 3 level 4 type armour... With 3 Sockets some more... Is this a sweet deal or what...?!?

Very soon, I completed all the 12 pieces of armour and I hugged them and logged off from my meditative state and back to the real world.

"GUYS...!! Wake up... I've got an announcement to make...!! Matilda...!! JL...!! Wake up... Good news...!!"

The two of them got startled and sat straight up and rubbed their eyes and faces... "Here's your armour... Try it on...!"

"Ring leader... Can we wait till tomorrow... You've made me awake just to see me naked or what and wear this armour...? Wait... This armour felt heavier than before..."

"Boss... All these have 3 Sockets each means we can have more damage rating or damage absorption rating or even... Wait a minute... Chotto Matte... These are the armour that you had bought earlier... One way to find out... Wait haaaa... Nah... My storage bag can't use to view this... You try it, Matilda... "

"So what? Wear them... Oh... You mean to put it in my inventory... OK... Hang on... Done. What shall I do next...?"

"See the description, status and attributes and read out loud... Our boss here may have done something to it again...!"

Epic Class Level 4

3 Sockets Mesh Steel Reinforced Studded Leather Armour

R. T. S

"What's R. T. S stands for and Epic Class... EPIC...?!! it is better than RARE right? Whoooaaaaaaaaa..... Power Rangers lah..."

The moment Jean Lethal heard the word EPIC... His jaw dropped and needs a paramedic to put it back in place with rivets once more...!

"Hahahahaha... I was equally surprised too... Thanks for reading the tome...!! Yes... Epic armour... Muuuaaahahahahahha.....!!"

"What's R. T. S means lah you half dim wit dum dum... You still haven't answered me yet..."

"It means... Ready To Strike. Its the motto from the Guards Batallion where I was from before I joined OCS and then to Sandhurst RMA and then back to station all over the continent for 6 months rotational tour until I retire after serving a total of 12 years... "

"What are you talking la aney... Yo aney... You dreaming or what? What talking you dahh..." Jean Lethal was dumbfounded at what nonsense I was spouting and called me aney in Tamil for Brother.

Both of them took their battle gear and kept it aside while I place mine on my lap. "How about our weapons after the upgrade? Matilda checked mine please..." implored Jean Lethal as he passed Gotham to her and gave the statistics back as Rare Class Level 6. I passed my Heaven and Earth Splitting Divine Blade and it came back as Rare Class Level 4 while Vendetta came back as Rare Class Level 5.

"So, when are you making the Fair and Good gems, Boss?"

"Soon JL... Very very soon... In 2 weeks time at least."

=*=

I stared with uneasy eyes as the field was filled with bodies from 4 different categories of Female Bandits, mutilated and bludgeoned, as Matilda and Jean Lethal immersed in a delirious raid on them, striking once and moving on to the next one as one by one fell over to the ground while all the spoils were compiled my

Matilda as she had the most storage space of all.

No female bandits evaded their sights whether they are sick, injured or vicious as they keep their uncontrollable attacks on them. At one stage I could even observe several female bandits pleading with their lives with clasped hands under their chins.

The female bandits kept spawning and kept perishing as the duo finally ceased when there are no more spoils to amass. The spoils they had obtained from the female bandits were coppers, pouches and tobacco leaves.

Gotham and Vendetta were trickling with blood and once they realised that the female bandits did not drop any more spoils, they charged at the vipers next. The duo had an ominous look in their eyes and was simply drooling when they attacked the vipers next with a minimum of two strikes from their weapons.

I had left the band so that they would get a kick out of a 50% share on experience points. They were intent of slaughtering that they decided to forgo lunch as they collected venom and viper skin next. I playfully took out my bow and arrow and shot blunt arrowheads at the vipers just to incense them.

Since the arrowheads are blunt, the only damage it would do is to birds. "Heal...!" I heard Matilda shout out and I instantly summoned my Psi Healing Energy Spheres in my hands and I shot several of those at Matilda and Jean Lethal from a distance. The Heal command is entirely to recover and refill their Essense and not because they are injured. They both could self generate their Dexterity and cure their external wounds on their own every 5 seconds.

"Boss...come and join us...!"

"Ya lah...we don't wish to hoard all the fun...!"

"Hahaha...I'm letting you have 50% each...!"

Watching them actually grind those normal monsters would be quite alright since I'm deferring for the BOSS along with the grey wolves. Matilda and Jean Lethal would be facing some difficulties there once they start grinding the grey wolves.

The vipers they were attacking made those tarantulas nearby to react as well simultaneously. Those 2 monsters do not drop coins but the tarantulas drop cocoon-shaped spider webs and tarantulas shells.

Right now, they are confidently going against monsters up to 3 levels higher than themselves. With their improved weapons and upgraded pieces of armour, Matilda toyed with the monsters as she ran around and slices the legs of the tarantulas while Jean Lethal delivering the final bash on them making them a perfect combo partner.

When the sun nearly dipped towards the trees in the distance, I shouted "TIME-OUT" and the response I got was, "HAVE A BREAK" and "HAVE A KITKAT" and their grinding comes to a close as Matilda ran around and gathered up the resources with Jean Lethal.

As they sauntered back to my location, I continuously flicked Psi Energy Healing Spheres at them and soon their energy was replenished and they felt more invigorating and refreshed. "You're really a wonder, boss. You could attack, defence as well as strategizes and healing, all at the same time. Ho...ho...ho..."

"I hadn't had so much fun grinding like this. Those monsters kept coming and I kept slashing at them. We would have a go on the vipers and tarantulas tomorrow after breakfast and once we're done, we would be doing for the grey wolves next."

"And by that time, I'm joining the band back once we hit the BOSS. right now, I let you have 50% shares whenever you fell a monster. It is definitely not fair for me to watch and receive a 33% shares from your hard-earned efforts right?"

"You're the greatest, ring leader...hii...hii...hii... Always seemed to be considerate towards others. I like your character, granny does too."

"You missed your granny don't you?"

"Yeah... It is been quite some time now..."

"I know how you feel... I'm an orphan too..."

"Boss, I'm an orphan as well..."

"Well... Here come The Band of Horfun... Hahahaha..."

"Hohoho... You really make weird sounding names for the band..."

"He's making fun of me again, this half dimwit dum dum..."

....

"Boss, I'm going to catch some fish for dinner and supper as well... It is been some time since we had freshly caught fish..." as Jean Lethal places Gotham aside and retrieved a fishing kit and proceeded to cast into the stream.

An offscreen crew acted as a diver and had a fish basket where he began to hook some herrings to the hook and jiggle the fishing line.

"Got one..." as Jean Lethal yanked and slowly reeled in the dead fish right up the river bank. A few more of those and he was done fishing and held the dishes in his hands triumphantly as he gingerly walked over to the fireplace and began to dress the fish in little barbie doll's costumes. Hahahaha...

As he dressed the fishes, he drives a stick into it like a skewer and places them near the edge of the fireplace to slowly use the radiated heat to grill them.

Before we had left to grind, I had prepared a mixed vegetable gruel beforehand and had placed them to warm it close to the embers to keep it warm. A slab of pork belly had been smoked and preserved and it had been sliced and fried in the wok with some sesame oil flavourings and crushed garlic.

Matilda was helping to set the bowls and plates as our daily guests would be arriving soon for dinner after she had washed her bloodied hands due to frenzied killings back then.

.....

"Another fine meal compliments for our young adventurers here. Here's your share of the shares we had collected." said one of the dwarfs as he extended 4 pouches filled the gem's shards and I accepted and thanked them.

"We would be going off soon and be heading back to our home since we have something to attend to. Take care and be seeing you at breakfast then."

One of the dwarfs spoke up and bade farewell as they shoulder their picks and lumbers towards where they had come during the day.

"Ring leader, I've noticed something earlier while we were slaughtering the vipers and tarantulas. It seemed that the female bandits were ignoring us once we had surpassed their levels. Why isn't so?"

"I guess they do not have a reason to chase after you after all and risked being killed and then respawn again. Furthermore, there are no more spoils to attain from them once you're done with them. Am I right?"

"I think so too boss, if not every single monster that we had annihilated would keep on coming back and attacking us. I think it's been regulated by the developers to make them behave in such a manner. Don't you think so?"

"It might be a possibility, if not it would be an endless horde of them coming at you and disrupting the task at hand. Remove your armour if you're not in battle. This is not some fancy pants medieval English fantasy game where you are with your armour even when you are asleep. Hahahahaha..."

"Ring leader, what do you think we are going to do with all these spoils? Venom, snakeskin, spider web and tarantula shells...all this can't be fixed to make something, right?"

"Let me see, I could turn this venom as anti-venom, this snakeskin to make some kind of fashionable arm and leg stockings, these spider web we can pass it to Spiderman and see if he got any use for it and for these shells...make into ornamentals for Halloween I guess?"

"Or haul these to the NPC in the trading area to exchange them for coins. I don't see any reason to keep this. There's no quest or exchange these obtainable for a mystery item or other collectables. These pouches and tobacco leaves could be exchanged for coins too. Just go to any of the merchants and exchange them for coins and convert them accordingly."
