Chapter 137: Evil Plan (1/2)

'Welcome back!' Ed smiled on the inside as his partner finally got back. He looked at the bandits and thought about using magic to blow this place up. But, after looking at the slaves he gave that thought up. There was also the possibility of the bandits seeking revenge and coming to the village early. That would interrupt his reunion with the system.

Ed teleported outside the base, and then to the entrance of the village. There was another state of commotion. Ed left as soon as the bandit did, so he didn't know. Most people don't manage to gather enough points until the last day. And, since the last day is today, they were panicking. 'Procrastinators.' Ed thought to himself and entered his room in the inn. He opened up a pocket dimension and entered.

[Let your monsters out.] The system told him as soon as they were inside the dimension. Ed did what he was told, and summoned his companions. Raikou was there as well after getting out of his shadow.

”what is this abo-” Before Ed could finish, all of them had a burst in power. Ed was surprised and checked their stats. Everyone one of them was now at Heavenly Establishment level 5.

[Since host will keep getting stronger, and keep getting companions. It was decided to make them a uniformed cultivation. This way you wouldn't have to keep check of their power-ups. Now, every time you advance a level, they will as well.] The system's words were like music to Ed's ears. Although the difference was only three ranks, all of his monsters were now that strong. It definitely meant a big improvement.

[Next up is Gacha function. The host has both the Blacksmithing and Pharmaceutical skills, at Legendary grade. The weapon and armor Gacha became obsolete due to this. So those two will be removed and instead replaced by a Material Gacha.] Ed was keeping check of what he was told. These improvements concerned him and not someone else, so he had to keep his attention.

[Lastly, for the Gacha tickets. The tickets can now be exchanged for a higher grade. One Gacha ticket is a guaranteed common item; two can be exchanged to guarantee Uncommon. Three for rare, five for Epic, and ten for Legendary. For Mythical and Supreme you need 25 and 50 tickets respectively.]

Ed was glad that he gathered twenty tickets. This meant that he would be able to draw at least two Legendary cards. He wanted to use the tickets immediately, but he had the bandits to prepare for. Ed also had a question to ask the system. He told him about his encounter with Johan.

”He should be related to them, right?”

[Yes, that's how the Map works.] The system gave Ed the answer he was expecting. Ed was now even more confused as to why Johan treated him so indifferently. 'It doesn't matter.' Ed stopped thinking about it and started preparing for the bandits. He was worried about the Leader of the bandits being strong. But, now that his companions leveled up, he didn't care anymore.

”System, can the Transformation cards do specific conditions?” Ed asked.

[As long as it's simple]

'Great.' Ed smiled as he withdrew three of them. He transformed into one of the thugs he beat on Port city back on his continent. He recalled his companions and teleported out. Upon meeting someone, he started panting and screaming. ”The Bandits want to kill us all!!” his shout attracted everyone's attention. The condition he set on the Transformation card was bloody beat up body. Usually; people wouldn't believe someone so easily. But, looking at him they had no choice.

”What do you mean?!” a flustered middle-aged man asked. He was afraid for his life.
