Chapter 8 Problem Solving
Disclaimer: I own nothing , this is purely a fanfic for enjoyment. Cross-over from various games , books and anime.
Zed did his research when he logged out, research on how to run a town, turns out most of the town's that were player occupied had very high taxes and isn't very well liked, the rest were sketchy at best. He also researched the Town Morata that Weed rules over, it had so many positive reviews that Zed felt lucky that he met a good friend.
After clicking on some random subjects , zed was alarmed, He found out that the highest level players were at the moment were level 200+ and the average high player was level 150+.
Zed became depressed, until he read another topic about levels, it said that levels aren't everything and mastery of the skills were very important. Zed was relieved by this seeing this message, after all he was only level 100 after completing Arceus's B rank chain quest .
Reading this great news, zed was able to have a calm sleep.
Zed woke up the next day and ate breakfast , did some workout exercises, did his business around the house and logged back to royal road.
As soon as zed logged back in , he quickly headed back to Pallet Town where he quickly met James, Jessie and Meowth.
James: "Hi boss, it's good to see you again."
Jessie: "Yes, we've been having a blast, ahh it pays to have a good leader who knows how to take care of his subordinates."
Meowth: "Meowth! that's right."
Zed: "Guys I have a question for you, what are your levels?."
James: "Ohh getting to business are we?, My levels level 150." James said proudly.
Jessie: "Yes , James has been a hard worker , I'm only level 140."
Meowth: "I've been working hard too boss I'm level 145."
James: "I'm sure our levels are low compared to yours boss."
Zed: " I'm only level 100 sadly." zed said dejectedly.
James, Jessie and meowth were stunned and left their mouths hanging for a good 5 minutes.
Zed: "Sigh, I knew it, they're disappointed in me." zed said with a sigh.
Unknown to Zed , the thoughts on his subordinates were the opposite of what he has thinking, these thought lingered on how he defeated them on their encounter.
James: "What are you sad about boss?, we're not disappointed in you, on the contrary were very impressed with you."
Jessie: "Yeah, your just like that Ketchem named player that we use to harass because he was so cocky spouting nonsense about Justice all the time."
James: "Yes, we sticked to him like a cockroach, and built thousand of pitfall traps, but sadly we lost everytime."
Meowth: "Yeah, we also spent all our gold earnings building up lots of fancy machines and robots , that we've prolly mastered our construction and engineering skills to max, sadly all of them failed and foiled by that BRAT!!, We maxed out our shoveling skills too since we seem to get that BRAT!! to fall into them pitfalls often."
James: "But then we met you, since then we've been rising to road to success and we never looked back."
Jessie: "James is right, you bested us when you weren't even level 100 when we first met. If that doesn't say anything I don't know what does."
Meowth: " Meowth!! that's right."
Zed: "actually I was only of level 85 when we met."
James: "See!!, that's just proves our point, levels aren't everything."
Zed: "Thanks guys, now onto important matters. Well have a group meeting to start up on our future plans."
James: "Oh, I know just the place to have our meeting. Before you quickly left 5 days ago , professor Oak said that you now own the mansion on top of the hill since you just became the Lord after all."
Zed: "That's great , I'll serve some food and wine this meeting."
James: " Did you say wine?"
Jessie: "we get not just get your delicious food but wine as well?"
Meowth: "Oh were living the life baby, count me in, Meowth!"
The group arrived at the mansion and found the meeting spot, Zed prepared many delicious and expensive foods and quite high grade ingredients too that he mastered his cooking skills and got another +5 to all stats again. He also served up the wines he made from rosenheim and the group happily ate them all.

Zed: "All right, now that we've finished eating, let's get the meeting started on any ideas on how to raise funds on our evil organization. Any ideas?"
James: "How about we monopolize a dungeon and make a toll for it?."
Zed: " I'll list it down, anybody else?."
Jessie: "How about a tourist attraction? with our mastery in construction and engineering it should be good."
Zed: "I'll list that down too, anybody else?."
Meowth: "Sell unique items that can only be found in our town?."
James: "That's a great idea meowth but where could we find that unique items as such?."
Zed: "Ahem!!, How about an item that is unique to this town , enough to make it to a tourist attraction and only we have the monopoly off?."
James: "That's brilliant!!."
Jessie: "That's genious!!."
Meowth: "That's positively stupendous!!, but where would we find such a thing?."
Zed: "Ahem!!!, how about we sell portable pillows/ bean bags?."
James: " Ahahaahahahaha, pillows, I know I like the idea just as the next guy and mostly guys like to have that kind of item but what about the girls perspective of the population?."
Zed:" Ahem!!!, how about we sell a cute portable pillows/ beanie bag?."
Jessie: "Now that sounds adorable, I know most girls would want that."
Meowth: "That's nice and all, but that hardly counts as unique."
Zed: "Ahem!!!!, how about a cute portable pillows/ beanie bags that collects loots FOR YOU?"
James: "Gasped!!, that's brilliant!!."
Jessie: "Gasped!!, that's genius!!."
Meowth: "Gasped!! , That's positively stupendous!!, but where would we find such a thing?"
Zed: "Ahem!!!!, De ja Vu anyone?....., okay that aside.., leave that to me, go Angeling!!."
An angel like monster appeared.
Zed: "Angeling 3 pillows/ bean bags please."
Angeling: "Yes boss!!, Summon minions!!"
Three pink jelly like creature appeared.
Angeling: "do what the boss says". the 3 porings nodded.
Zed: "Good job Angeling return." Angeling returned to its pocket dimension.
Meowth: "I don't believe it!!."
Jessica: "Those are really adorable!!."
James: "Gasped!!, can it be?, are those tamed porings?, I can't believe I'm seing it with my own eyes. Those things people tend to avoid because they never get items while hunting them because they are very notorious scavengers, and on some adventurers that hunt those, spread rumors about an evil cute meatbun-shape monster with a face that that steals loots, and they became a laughingstock in the community of royal road and players stopped posting about them. It became a legendary rumor and its standing before our very eyes."
Zed: "Oh , they also come in Orange,Green,white color and one even came with a Santa hat."
James,Jessie,Meowth: "OMG!!!!! your serious??."
Zed: "Yes I'm positively serious."
James,Jessie,Meowth: "We are not worthy, We are not worthy, We are not worthy." they simultaneously said while kneeling at zed.
Zed: "Oh stop that, it was just a lucky coincidence, but seriously how much would one cost if we spread them to the market?"
James: "Seriously!!??? I would give an arm and a leg for one of those."
Zed: "So 500 gold?."
Jessie: "I would give my current account for one of those."
Zed: "So 1000 or 1k gold?"
Meowth: "I would trade 8 out of 9 of my cat lives for one of those."
Zed: "Okay, okay, 5000 or 5k gold each."
James, Jessie, Meowth nodded simultaniously
Zed: "Okay that's 5k for the pink(poring), 6k for the Orange(drops), 7k for the green(poporing), 8k for the white (Marin) and 10k for the Santa poring."
Zed: "All agreed?"
James, Jessie, Meowth nodded simultaniously in approval.
