Quantum Leap - Vol. 10 Overpowered Awesomeness

C011 Face Slapping Version 1.0

"Naaahh, I'm not trying to be a great cultivator of Pills but I just happen to have Abysmal Pill Making Skills which is a lowly 12% only. If I surpass the level, it's either i could make more pills per portion, or better quality ones. It's decided by the system and not me."

"Will...how many shrubs can you collect in the first basketful?" I asked Will.I.Am if he could fetch a basketful as I churn out these Pills.

"About 10 mins or less, sir. I go and get a basket full first and you could work on this to make the pills." Will.I.Am answered and he went forth with a basket to gather a basketful.

"Inform Will later I just need a basketful. The ginseng roots he can make 2 mounds for the cultivation. I will imbue some energy into the soil so that it could grow faster than normal. Same goes to the fruiting and vegetable plants here in the garden."

"Yes, boss." Jean Lethal answered and he went off in search of Will.I.Am as Matilda held the plate and get ready to catch those pills. Gonna catch them all...!!!

"Robyn, how much are we going to sell for that? The grade is slightly lesser than the one sold by the physician right? And he sells the whole root and we have pills here. What are you going to name them?"

"I would call these Ginseng Hee Ling Grade 1 Pills. We will sell it for 1 gold per pill. We have 2 more stems and leaf here, let's make some more."

"So, we are going to sell these when we get to Leeds? That's wonderful...and the money we can use for our own essentials here too, right?"

"Clever girl...buy more snacks, like Cheetos, Twisties, Nova corn chips, Pringles, Roller Coaster, Jack Jill...you should be an expert kn that. Hahahhaa..." I joked at the snacks that Matilda used to be snacking on and she wanted to punch me but seeing I'm still holing to the Kamehameha fire, she decided not to.

I threw the 2 stems and leaves inside the portable furnace in my hands and waited for a few seconds before the same announcement ring out and I shook 12 pills out from my left hand and onto the plate that Matilda was holding on to below it.

"Not bad...6 pills per stem and leaf and we got 18 right now. Means 18 gold pieces. We would be doing a lot of favours for the rest of adventurers as well.

A little while later, Will.I.Am and Jean Lethal returned and was carrying a basketful of Ginseng stems and leaves. Another basket was filled with the roots and Will.I.Am prepares 2 mounds of earth next to the fruit and vegetable garden patch.

He then proceeded to place the ginseng roots on the ground some distance apart and the other mound he planted somewhere in the middle of each ginseng root. Each ginseng plant had a few stems on it and can be seen visibly in the mounds.

Not bad this Will.I.Am kid, he got his own initiative to work on the plantations on how it would look like in the future.

There is about 20 stems and leaves of Ginseng and I dumped every one of them kn the Kamehameha portable furnace and a lot of announcements rang as hundreds of pills came out onto the plates and according to Matilda, we had made 258 pills which would be sufficient for tonight's trip.

"So, ring leader...how do you go about in selling this?"

"Matilda would be the one who's holding the pills and we are the ones marketing them. I'm sure the physician there sells these type of normal ginseng plants for 5 gold coins each. Ours would be more digestible and faster cooling time."

"Will, could you bring the watering jug over here? I will let you know something." I beckoned for Will.I.Am since I'm going to imbue 2 Psi healing energy spheres inside it.

"Alright, Will...remember...do not finish the water inside the watering jug. Use something to displace the water in them. I'm going to imbue energy spheres so that the plants that will be watered with it would grow even faster, I hope."

"Yes, sir. I will use the pail to scoop water inside it and I remember not to finish up the whole water in the watering jug."

The watering jug had water filled in them and I clapped my hands together and rub. The moment I open my palms, 2 Psi energy healing sphere was visible.

"Here Will, water these Ginseng plants you had sown and we will see the results in a few days time. As you've said it's a slow-growing plant right? You may water the rest of the plants with the jug imbued with the energy spheres."

"Yes sir, I will..." Will.I.Am replied as he went to water the plants and then refill the remaining with a pail before proceeding to the rest of the 36 rows of fruits and vegetables. Even though it's 10 am, the sun is still not too high and too hot to water the plants."

"Alright guys, we will move out by 9 pm and Will would he asleep after he had packed the camp. So right now, Matilda will hold on to the 258 pills that would be sold for 258 gold coins later. Once we make sure that these pills are a hot seller, we can make some more and part some money for Will."

"I'd say aye to that boss."

"Same here, ring leader..."

"Alright, that settles it then. Off we go and chop some 48 trees then." as I picked my axe and so did the rest to go and chop trees for the making of the planks.

"We'd keep count of 16 trees each and you could go and turn them into planks, right ring leader?"

"That's right Matilda. 26 each and I will bring them all to the fusion chamber to turn them into planks and bring them back here."

"By the way boss where did you bring those unwanted spoils and all those logs? You kept saying fusion chamber but I didn't see such thing around."

"Well it's at a secret place called the realm of mind and that's the only place I could get to myself. Once you had attained Basic Meditation, I might bring you there and you yourself can take a look. It's like a peek into the future."

As we chatted we had reached the edge of the forest and we began to chop 16 trees each and since the respawn time is 1 minute we do not have to worry about deforestation. That's what happens in Japan when Kayu-san made the houses out of wood and never even run out of trees or wood before.

Will.I.Am had readied a simple dinner of gruel and mixed vegetable from our basket of groceries and our guests had taken their spread and left with 4 pouches of shards to us. We notified the dwarfs that we might be away during a period of time and Will.I.Am would be accommodating them with breakfast and dinner later on.

The head of the dwarven mining group may pass the shards over to our young apprentice for safekeeping. He understood and he would be notified when we would be assuming our leave when we ventured out to other towns.

The 48 logs had been turned to planks, courtesy of the fusion chamber in the Realm of Mind and now were stacked and waiting to be made into a wooden hearth with a flat roof. The flat roof would be constructed with the help of the offscreen crews with scaffolding to hoist them up.

After Will.I.Am had completed packing the camp, we advised our apprentice that we would be leading the way towards Leeds and be back by sunup or earlier depending on how fast we can settle our tasks there. He bade us adieu as we make our way towards Leeds that would take us 2 hours on Cruising Along and the rest would be on normal speed.

....

Leeds was a booming city that connects to other towns that were around it and there were a lot of other adventurers. Mostly are warriors with mighty swords, battleaxes and flaming wheels equipped with full plate armour or breastplates, archers, while some are mages and even a necromancer or two.

"Wow...! Look at this, Boss! These towns are full of these adventurers, and the way they looked down on us because of our armours and weapons, these fat sonofabitches sure are pay2win heroes. Look at us...we are not even equivalent to them." Jean Lethal lamented when he felt insignificant when other bands looked and at us and sneered.

All of us had concealed our stats and that's why we remained low profile except for our names and our classes can be discovered by them. Our weapons and armour are all hidden and remained unknown but they could be seen but not evaluated.

"Hey...a group of warriors wannabes had just arrived...these are easy fries, don't you think?" said a warrior in full plate armour, sneering and pointing at us with his middle finger.

"Don't bother about them now, set up a stall here under this tree, Matilda. Remember, guys...our main aim here is to sell these pills, rearrange our attributes and then ask about the refinement. We could all insert the poor gems into the sockets first before refinement. No problem, I could desocket them when we make the good ones."

I advised the rest of the band through a party chat that I saw in our interfaces that uses voice messages.

Matilda and Jean Lethal nodded their heads and Matilda went to the tree and sat down and set up a temporary stall that sells 'Ginseng Hee Ling Pills at 1 gold coin each'.

Soon a few of the lone warriors approached us and inquired about these pills and we explained then about the properties and soon it was snapped up by them at half a dozen each.

The same group that taunted us came by and good before us. "Hah...! Selling such a useless herbal pill...by this Robyn and Jean Lethal...whats so Lethal about this Jean who is equipped with a paltry stick meant by the monks. Who is this Robyn, by the way? A bird...?"

"Ay...the cat caught your little birdy's tongue, is it? Do you think you could be one of us? You three look so nooby, even if there's 5 Robyn, you could never beat half of the lowest-ranked member from our band."

"We are the Band of The Flaming Arrows...! And we beat every single one of those nooby teams...we are the ultimate band here in Leeds...! Anyone wants a duel can send a duel invitation to us...! We are the best in Leeds and the best there will always be...."

"Hey, Robyn...chirp chirp...I offer you 20 gold pieces if you can defeat in a round-Robyn match with 10 of our lowest-ranked member. 20 gold pieces per head. Choose your so-called Lethal Jean here or your pretty maiden here to fight us and you too birdy...!"

"Huh...? Oh...I'm so sorry...we weren't actually listening...were you trying to tell something to us?" I mocked the band leader of The Flaming Arrows and my words did leave them flaming...!!!

"I'm sorry Mister Flaming Arrows, we are here to sell off these so-called poorly made pills to adventurers who would be needing to heal in an emergency. It's very cheap. It costs only 1 gold coin each, would you like to buy some, Mister?"

"I am sure you are such a wealthy fellow and can afford these measly pills for your men. It's just 1 gold coin, or is it too much for you to buy them for your poor men? A leader like you would definitely have thousands of gold coins in your pouch, ready to splurge for your men at any time."

I mocked once more, flattering him so high and then bringing him back to earth with a slam. I wanted to see how such a leader would treat his men, or would he rather think only for himself.
