"You won't want to be carrying hundreds of copper pieces where you can exchange 50 of those to be a single shilling and 20 shillings for a piece of gold coin. The exchange rate is pretty harsh here. There's a courier guild in the market place where you can get storage spaces for a maximum period of 24 months."
"These storage spaces are available across the continent, no matter where you save them and you would be able to retrieve them elsewhere. I'm not sure how much it would be but I think it's pretty cheap and you could store weapons and armour into each individual slot, unlike the storage bag."
"Wah...boss, you seemed to know so much. Did you ask any of them for such information?"
"Of course not, JL...I read the help files when I was with you at the grinding fields on their information. It says here in the help section that the storage space was 5x10 and each slot can store up to 255 similar items. It cost 2 shillings for each month and is 48 shilling or 2 gold and 8 shillings for the rental of 24 months."
"It's better than lugging around this useless stuff in the storage bag. We can go there once you had your supper and we could rent these storage spaces individually or as a band. What do you think?"
"Let's do it, ring leader. We can get rent these storage spaces as a band and do we get like 15x30 based on the number of members in a band?"
"As a joint storage space, we could only get the 10x10 ones at a discounted rate of 5 gold for the whole 2 years. Come on, let's go then to the trading area."
"Also it would be best to store some dumplings and salted duck eggs inside your personal storage since you could consume them and recover back your Essense and health every 3 seconds for 15 seconds with a cooling time of 1 minute. It's a start."
=*=
We went to the trading area and got a band storage space for 24 months at a cost of 5 gold coins. Before we left, I had left for the Realm of Mind to retrieve all coal and flint and handed to Matilda for temporary storage before she deposited everything inside the storage space.
I had my spaces to store the shards and Poor quality gems while Matilda and Jean Lethal dumped virtually everything inside the storage space. We soon discovered that we all received complimentary upgrades on our personal storage bag where bulky items like tools, weapons and armour can now be placed on a single slot but cannot be stacked.
There are iron nuggets, pure iron ingots, coals, flints, venom, snakeskin, tarantula shells, spider webs, tobacco leaves, small pouches, leaves, silkworm, stones, logs and even sticks! These lowly last few items must be from Matilda and no one else since she would hoard anything she sees and keeps them in her personal storage bag.
"Woooiii...what kind of nonsense are you keeping in here...? Save the spaces for something else laaa...you can't store all these items here since there would be other spoils we can store."
"I'm taking the nuggets, coals, flint, stone, log and stick back to the encampment. Now we have 6 more free space and we can fill them with more nonsense. Those grey wolves would definitely drop more items and we would be facing the Boss tomorrow. All settled then?"
....
"Are you in the party yet, Boss? We are going for the grey wolves now...!"
"Alright, in a minute...my zipper on this armoured bermudas got stuck...Hahahaha...Done...! Here I come, you bad ugly grey wolves..."
I soon joined the band as I wielded my Heaven and Earth Splitting Divine Sword and joined the duo who were actually having some difficulty in dealing with the grey wolves.
"Tank them on one side, Matilda...!
JL... flank them and drive them towards her and me. Stay and hold your positions, lure them out…!"
Amidst the chatter and instruction, we managed to tank them and held out positions as we concentrate to strike at them 3 at a time and it took more than 4 strikes to bring the great wolves down. "We would be at this for the whole day, right boss?"
"Luckily you suggested us to buy these salted eggs and dumplings...we are going to be stuffed eating these the whole day...!"
"Yeah...at this rate I don't even have time to support in the healing as well. Alternately you could tank while I heal in the back and recover back the position."
"Yep...we will let you know when we finished our dumplings..." and I noticed Matilda and stuffed her mouth with a dumpling and was fighting off the wolves at the same time, who seemed intent to grab her pork dumpling than attacking her...Hahahahahaha.
The grey wolves were lined up in such a way it created a bottleneck between a c***k in between the entrance of that area and it made it much easier for us. I don't really favour to kill these 4 legged beasts because it doesn't pose any challenges to us. Since this is the only way to get to their BOSS then we just bear with it.
Unlike those beasts that could stand on their hind legs and pounce on us, these beasts that stay on their 4 feet firmly rooted to the ground is simply too pathetic for us to kill. It's like cruelty to animals, you know.
From 4 strikes, we are now down to a single strike to fell these monsters. I watched Jean Lethal holding Gotham at the entrance of the c***k like as if he was a security guard and allows those monsters to pass through if they have a pass. Have Pass May Enter. Hahaha.
"Continue to tank. I'm going to draw the Boss out here..." I nooked an arrow and let loose towards the Honey Bear that was sitting on a foldable chair and enjoying its tea and crumpets. The blunt arrow hit the sides of its head and it simply rubbed on its sore part.
"Ay...isn't it time for you haul your sorry fat arse over here and gets yourself slaughtered?"
"I'm having my high afternoon tea...! Care for some...?"
I kept letting those arrows loose at the Honey Bear but it just swatted at my arrows like as if they were pesky flies or something.
"You going to have to do better than that...!" as it turned on its portable radio and tuned in to the BBC 3 pm news.
"Ay...what does it take for you to get over here?"
"Perhaps...an offer for a good book to read?" The Honey Bear was really mocking us and the grey wolves suddenly turned docile and refuse to attack us even if we prod them with sticks to lure them out.
"A g********l to read, my butt...!" I shrieked as I place 3 arrows on the drawstring and let loose towards the Honey Bear and one of the arrows struck the teacup it was holding and it shattered just before it reaches its lips...!
"That does it...you impudent humans...I will teach you how not to be rude when one is having its afternoon tea...! Raaaawwwrrrrrr....!"
The Honey Bear lumbered forward and shook its head viciously while crumbs from the crumpets dropped to the ground and were pecked by a weird 3 eyed crow. "Rrrraaaaaawwwwrrrrr...!" the Honey Bear shook its fur and it suddenly became twice as huge as before and all the great wolves starts whimpering and cower behind the boulders.
It suddenly stood on its hind legs and we soon found out that the towering figure kn front of us were twice as tall as us...!
It began to stomp its high legs and the layers of fat on the Honey Bear's belly quivered and the boulders that formed a c***k in front of us crumbled into the ground...
"It's just a bloody fat blob of lard in front of us right now...! Onward...!!!" I screamed and charged forward with Jean Lethal close behind me followed by Matilda who had some breadsticks in her mouth and she made it looked like she got hands of a vampire...!
"This girl can never stop munching...and where do those breadsticks come from...?!"
I thought to myself as Jean Lethal held fast to Gotham and drives it towards the belly of the monster while
I lunged forward and strike horizontally across its chest...
*CLUNK...!!* A sound of metal resounded when I strike across its chest. Gotham had little or no effect when it struck the soft spot on the belly and it seemed to be 'swallowed' by its flabby blob of lardy tummy...!
"Are you made of metal or what...?!?" I struck again on its right hind legs(supposedly to be its knee) and the same metallic sound was heard.
"Here...let me try..." as Matilda walked over and hit on the left hind leg and the same metallic sound rang out.
"Go around to check and kick its balls, ring leader...!" Matilda suggested and I squatted down and peered underneath the Honey Bear and can only see its piles of fat that seems to drag on the ground, blocking the view if it's balls...
"I can't see shit...its fat belly is blocking the view. Ay....are you a male or female Honey Bear? How the hell are we going to defeat you if you're made of some kind of machinery...?!"
"You didn't use the Magic words..."
"What Magic words are you referring to...?"
"You didn't use the words 'Please'..."
"Please what...? Pleased to meet you...?"
"Noooooo...Its 'Please, Honey Bear, can we kill you once?"
"Huh...ring leader...got such thing meeehhh...?"
"I don't know Matilda...maybe its a kind of code or something?"
"Boss, why don't you repeat what it says?"
"Eeehhh...it sure going to make me look a dum dum fool you know..."
"Haiya...ring leader. Vendetta can't even poke at its tummy...you hear that 'Toing' 'Toing' sound it made? Vendetta is like a toothpick...!"
"Boss...Gotham can only make waves with the piles of blob on its tummy...! See... it is like a water bed and its rippling right now every time I thrust into the middle of its tummy..."
"Hmm...excuse me...are you done poking me around like I'm some kind of experiment? Look at those grey wolves behind me...they are getting so tired that they are sitting in circles and playing poker...! Get on with it and say the Magic Words and be done and over..."
"Alright...alright... it's your wish. Please, Honey Bear, can we kill you once?"
"Ahhh...thank you. That's more like it. Sure...go ahead...!" the Honey Bear said as it covered its head and turned 180 degrees about and cowered.
"Now what Boss? Are we going to try one more time?"
"Hell yeah...Let's goooooooo...!! with that we all three immediately pounced on top of the Honey Bear and starts clobbering its head, it back and its rump repeatedly and I saw Matilda bent down and bit the Honey Bear's ears...she was gnawing at it...! Is she hungry again...?!!
Jean Lethal was thumping Gotham like was clearing the dust off a carpet on the rump of the BOSS, while Matilda was stomping on its head with her feet and I was poking around its sides with Heaven and Earth Splitting Divine Sword and after 30 minutes of virtually torturing the monster, it let out a sky splitting and earth-shattering shriek and became motionless.
"Phew...Is it dead yet boss?" asked Jean Lethal as he wiped his perspiration off his forehead and neck.
"Might be... Matilda... Can you go around and check if it is still breathing or not?"
"How to check if its breathing or not?"
"Pull one of its whiskers and use it to tickle the inside of its snout. If it stays still without any reaction, it means it's gone to heaven already. I'm checking it's sides for the opening to collect the spoils."
