Quantum Leap - Vol. 10 Overpowered Awesomeness

C017 Meditating? Our Ring Leader Seemed To Be Dozing Off...!!!

"Heh...alright. I've learnt and read Lightfoot tome. I won't be able to catch up with you much and would need constant healing myself every 15 minutes or so, and since I'm a healer, I would be able to heal myself anytime."

The travelling had been established and the exchanged has been made. We informed Will that we are leaving and he told us that he would be leaving to Byram soon too. As soon as bade him and cross over to the other side of the river, all 4 of us engaged our Lightfoot and heads towards Leeds.

True enough, Stef needs a buff every now and then and she had made 8 healing buffs by herself after we had reached the outskirts of Leeds.

....

"Hey, look Boss...our Band's name is on the Top List of Duellers and we are now ranked as Undisputed Champions...!! All because of you Boss, you made our band's name to be the Top and no one dares to challenge it yet, of course. Hoo Hoo Hoo"

I looked at where Jean Lethal was pointing and saw the name of the band at the topmost level and was ranked as Undisputed Champions. It was scary to have the name of an underdog band suddenly appear as No. 1 topmost placing.

I looked for the announcer and told him to remove oi4 name as we do not want to attract too much attention and to reinstate The Flaming Arrows back. "Are you sure, champions to replace your name back to the Band that had been defeated by you?"

"Yes, please just do it without any questions." I simply instructed and the board was brought down and replaced back to The Flaming Arrows as No.1 Undisputed Champions.

I gathered the guys and explained that it would be a risk of we have our names up there. "Let others know us as Pill Merchants for the moment, it would have our skin in the long run."

The guys understood and I assigned Stef to set up a stall near a gazebo while Matilda was on the other side a few distances and within view of one another. The ladies began to open their trade link and we announced our wares.

"Hear ye, Hear ye. Super Enhanced Ginseng Hee Ling Pills heals 4 points every 2 seconds with 45 seconds colling time. Stackable. 1 gold coin each. No minimum purchase required. Please evaluate before purchase."

Some of the adventurers who had missed their purchase last night returned and find they had a better deal than last night and quickly snatched up 10 pills at one go.

These pills need not much introduction as the ones that had bought yesterday find sweeter deals today and bought as much as they could afford.

In the distance, we noticed a group of people coming over to us in a very hurried fashion. Since it was quite a distance, we took little notice of it as we showed our wares to be evaluated before any purchase begin and everyone that had bought it from added us as their friends' list.

I created a category under Ginseng Pills and group all the friend's list together so we can let them know when we would be coming to the city again. Furthermore, we need our latest member to catch up and to enhance her weapons and gear too.

The group of people that were heading our way was given space to move as there was about 10-12 of them and all were wearing glorious weapons and armour. The moment they reached my position, all threw their weapons down as they kneeled to the ground.

"Master, I am the leader of The Flaming Arrows, wishes to thank you for reinstating our positions to No. 1 Undisputed Champions despite having a great defeat in your hands. Your prowess is second to none and we wish to join your Band as a secondary tier team. We sincerely..." his speech was cut short by me because I had to interrupt as it would be a very long speech and was not broken down into bite-size for the readers to read.

"Please don't stand on ceremony and I am nobody's master. Stand up, everyone. At the present moment, I do not have any intention to expand my Band or territories because there are many places we had not ventures and monsters we want to kill."

"Just remember, even if you are our secondary tier members, just remember one thing. We are all adventurers and we help each other in need even if the person before you looks mightier and grand."

"There is no power and equality if one does not gain fame through his good deeds. Most importantly, be humble and do not intimidate others. The person who seemed so noob in front of you may even be the granddaddy of all arts put together."

"The Band of Vagabonds is merely doing business here selling their Super Enhanced Ginseng Hee Ling Pills that are stackable and has shorter cooling time. Would you like to buy some for yourself and your team members?"

"Sorry for the interruption earlier, you may continue what you wished to relay," I said while the leader looked at me with pained expression thinking that he could simply join our band on a secondary tier level.

"Well, since you put it that way, we would like to support you in buying your Super Enhanced Ginseng Hee Ling Pills instead. Could we add as friends so that we could continue to support one another?"

"Sure, send an invite and I will accept and you could trade anytime with my fair lady here."

Sales were very brisk that day and more friends were added to the group list so a broadcast could be sent to them with a single notification of any new products that we would be selling.

By 3 hours, our pills had been snapped up and we joined back at the tavern to discuss what happened earlier at the trading area. "It's a good thing you rejected them, ring leader. We won't be able to control a large number of people and mainly we do not do much nowadays."

"Yeah Boss, we haven't done any mining and since we got nothing much, Stef would supposedly start with the stone mines, then upgrade to the iron ones and then to the copper and tin next."

"Yes, Robyn. I would like to contribute to the Band and not sitting idly. Anything that would be beneficial to upgrade, we'd do it together then."

"Alright open the trade link, all of you and I would like to see the 1760 gold coins here. Accept the 550 gold coins in your trade link now. Matilda, take the balance 110 and pass it to Will later. Without him we would have nothing at all."

"How about you...?" Stef said as she accepted the 550 gold coins in her trade link.

"Don't worry about me, I don't need the money, I have my own. Go on, it's all yours."

=*=

"Oh...Sir Robyn, Ma'am Matilda...these 110 gold coins is way too much. You had given ne 58 and today is almost double...! Why...? I only picked the Ginseng stem and leaves for you to make pills...Why reward me with so much?"

"Without you, there's no Ginseng stem and leaves and without these Ginseng stem and leaves, there won't be Ginseng Hee Ling Pills, and without these pills, we won't have these gold coins. Without these gold coins, we won't survive in this harsh world."

"We came together with absolutely nothing and with your liberation, Will, you had helped us having a fortune for our survival. Take this as your reward for helping us out."

"Stef, I don't know of your stats attribute but would you hand over your overcoat, cape and mages hat as well as your staff? I would be doing something for you and would be back in a short while. All these are normal items right?"

"Yes, Robyn. These equipment are of normal class and had no magic in it. This equipment I wore is part of my wardrobe. What are you going to do with it?"

"It's the same way as i did to Matilda armour and weapon. Show Vendetta and your armour stats. We need not hide them if we are here."

The moment Matilda disclosed her stats from HIDDEN to VISIBLE, Stef gasped as she saw Matilda was wearing an Epic set of armour with 3 sockets each on every piece. She wa even surprised to see the bluish aura that was emitting from Vendetta after the refinement and it too was an Epic weapon after the upgrade.

"No wonder you guys are so darn mysterious. You kept it hidden so you won't be attending unwanted attention after all...! How clever and sneaky."

"Hoo Hoo Hoo...wait till Boss upgrades your weapon from a Common class later."

Matilda then hid all the information once again and said its only good when they are out grinding monsters. "Today we are going mining so it doesn't do anything much. Ring leader here will upgrade your stuff soon and be back with better stuff later on. Am I right, ring leader...Ring Leader...? Hello...are you still here...? Haisshh...He has gone but he'll be back later...Just go like that in the middle of a conversation, how rude can this person be...?"

"Matilda, where did Robyn goes to? He's still here right? It looks like he's in deep meditation. Just leave him be..."

"He mentions about meditation before, so you think you can meditate and peek what he is doing?"

"It's dangerous, I might be trapped in void space and can never escape. Never mind, he stirring up right now."

Little did they knew I was in the Realm of Mind when they 3 were chatting and I made a quick FUSE / MATERIALS when I was at the fusion chamber with the overcoat, cape and mages hat while I did a CREATE / WEAPON for the mage staff.

The overcoat, cloak and mage's hat had been upgraded to Epic Level 1/1 and the steel mesh had been lines inside it while the mage's staff had also been upgraded to Epic level 1/6 with a steel ferrule at the bottom and a steel sleeve in the centre of the staff. All equipment had 3 free sockets each.

"Welcome back, half dimwit dum dum...I thought you left us for good and pick anytime you like to do your own thing eh...??? "

'Can't help it since you three were busy discussing. Here, Stef, your overcoat would be about 400 to 450 grams heavier, I hope you won't mind it at all since I used two plates to fuse and mesh them together. Your cape and mages hat uses one plate each and your staff had been enhanced to be better than before. Here, take them and tell us what do you think about it."

"Robyn, how on earth did you perform all these tasks without even moving from where you are sitting? You are such a mysterious person with mysterious capabilities. Yes, I can feel my overcoat, cape and mages hat had some considerable weight on them."

"What's the purpose and my staff now had a better outlook than before and all these...Oh! Not only it feels ao different but I sense something different in them too. Did you turn all these into Epic equipment? How so...?"

"Even if I am on Attack or Healing Level 2, equipping with these newly transformed items turned my skills to Level 4 now without even changing the current stats. Eh...I don't quite understand them at all. How and when did you turn all these from Common to Epic?"

When Stef adorned her overcoat, cape and mages hat, she somewhat had transformed from Level 2 Attack and Heal Mage to Level 4 Attack and Heal Mage with the newly adjusted attributes from her newly enhanced equipment.

With her Level 3 Cheng 5, and the newly enhanced equipment, her attributes increased tremendously and she can feel a surge of new prowess that she needs to test it out later.
