’GARBAGE, GARBAGE, GARBAGE... WHAT THE HELL IS THIS CRAP?!’ Alm exclaimed incredulously.
’How can this be... we finally had a high performance... 95...’ Bruno was speechless.
Suddenly, as if mocking them, floating calmly in front of them, the batch of their five random bonus chests appeared out of nowhere.
’This system likes to...’ Bruno began to say but stopped abruptly, looking at the rewards.
The whale quickly grabbed the female clothing. It had a light greenish color and was smooth and light, as if made of runes rather than fabric. Bruno immediately used his QI to sense it and sighed shortly after.
’It really is sweat-proof...’ he commented with a strange smile. ’But the material and something that comes from the divine realms. This is the stuff of elite high elves, too bad it was made to be utterly useless.’
While Bruno focused on that, Alm sensed the composition of the emerald ring and the bracelet. Both were merely ornaments, not intended for combat. However, Alm still took a second look; after all, he had enhanced knowledge of forging.
’The ring is actually the work of a high-level dwarf, but it seems like a failure in creating something grander,’ Alm commented still in an angry tone. ’As for the bracelet, it’s just any old trash. This system...’
"Oh! How pretty!" A cheerful voice near them sounded in their ears. Ruri woke up and saw all those items, admiring them with her eyes sparkling.
"They’re random things I made, useless failures, but if you like them, you can have them," the whale spoke without much emotion.
Ruri jumped joyfully, grabbing everything without hesitation. "Thank you, master! I was already getting worried about my clothes. They were getting quite tight around my bust every day."
The whale just waved without saying anything, and Ruri left the room, wanting to dress immediately.
After a few thoughtful seconds, Alm commented with an irritated snort, ’The damn system didn’t lie about the randomness... well, if we received these things through chests, then it wouldn’t make sense for good things to always come. Maybe we just got lucky at the beginning, or... most likely, the system is getting weaker and can only give us things randomly now.’
’Three total pieces of trash came out. The ring, maybe we can put a runic seal on it. As for the clothing... well, it’s hard for some sneaky blade to easily tear that fabric from the divine realm. It wasn’t made for defense, but it will block once due to its material,’ Bruno replied, and Alm just grumbled. Bruno then tried to ease things. ’Ruri liked everything, so it wasn’t that bad, cheer up.’
Alm and Bruno took a deep breath thinking about the other three things they bought. The level two of the Yin and Yang tattoos was so complex that they didn’t even know where to begin studying. Perhaps only by using it in practice could they assimilate it.
As for physical cultivation, level two was similar to the first. There were three different realms to complete it: Bone Training, Meridian Training, and Vitality Condemnation.
The first two were similar to the three realms of the first level. They just needed a frightening amount of QI and a lot of free time to cultivate it at a speed that would take years. Or find an easier breakthrough opportunity, which was the most obvious choice.
As for the Vitality Condemnation, it was like the tattoo. It seemed complex, with many different steps. Well, when they got there, they should already have a better understanding because of the two previous realms. So, they thought, hopefully.

Mental cultivation wasn’t worth it; they wasted time and resources on it, but still, they read it carefully. They had to provide all the support they could for Ruri to cultivate it. And she was very happy to be able to cultivate it, as she couldn’t elevate her QI collection cultivation for the time being.
Soon, they remembered the spatial inventory and focused on it immediately. They were relieved to see it the same as before. Then, looking inside, they were excited to see two new bodies floating.
’Yeah, the demon king and that bestial king came along inside the inventory. Great, this sets a wonderful precedent for the future,’ Bruno commented excitedly.
They didn’t take long and left the castle excited. As they stepped outside, they saw a small figure jumping toward them. Ruri was happily wearing her new clothes and looked like a little forest fairy. An elf was naturally slender and short, but it seemed the owner of this outfit was even shorter than normal or was a child, as it almost looked perfect on Ruri.
She climbed onto their shoulder, clinging even more to their heads as they walked. Everyone in the city saw the whale moving, and they smiled, seeing Ruri with him. There was no longer any strangeness among them; this whale was the owner of the city they lived in, and Ruri was considered equally among all.
In their minds, only a strange thought of praise existed directed toward the two. Bruno noticed it in their gaze but didn’t say anything, grateful that Alm didn’t bother to notice them. Alm already hated enough having to command and endure the adoration of so many in the main quest.
It was mid-afternoon when they arrived at the city’s forge. All the dwarves were working intensely. Some were dedicated to the furnaces, others to weapons, and there were even those who enjoyed making jewelry and clothes.
The whale, who led everything, didn’t demand anything from them and let everyone focus only on what they desired. Nothing would be sold for now, so everything would be given to the people of the city to use. Therefore, it didn’t make sense for them to be so busy all day. But no dwarf wanted to stay a single day away from the forge and their practice.
’It seems the tips we gave from the Dao of the Forge God lit a fire in all of them. Well, it doesn’t matter much,’ Alm said dryly.
They approached, entering the forge, and all the dwarves stopped immediately, looking at them excitedly. Vuard, who was the unofficial leader of all, ran to the whale’s side. Then they waved without saying anything, and in the center of everything, three terrifying auras emerged from the void.
Everyone in the city felt a slight impact on their bodies, and the air became heavy. The whole place before radiated the purest Yang and life, but at this moment, the frightening death Yin seemed to engulf the city and mix with the surroundings.
Inside the forge was a gigantic skeleton coming from what was left of the Wyvern’s body. Beside it was a massive pile of flesh; it was the body of the bestial king, a winged beast, and everything about it was a celestial treasure. Alongside it, contrasting with the size of the rest, was a black body slightly larger than a human; it was the body of the demon king, and practically all the death Yin that engulfed the city came from him.
All the dwarves were paralyzed before that unbelievable treasure. It was then that the whale heard Ruri’s excited voice. "Master!"
"Yes, the bloodline of the beast and your pet fit well; go ahead," the whale responded lightly, and Ruri ran forward.
A grayish egg the size of the whale emerged impressively. Its pulsing was fierce, each beat resonating like the powerful drum of an already frightening creature but now imbued with exponentially growing potential.
The demonic bloodline was absorbed into the egg in an instant, flowing through its porous shell like an unstoppable current. The once gray surface faded within seconds, replaced by a network of black lines spreading like living cracks. Around it, even celestial runes began to float, flickering with an enigmatic glow as if responding to the transformation.
’The egg absorbed an excess of Yin, unbalancing things a bit. If it hatches now, it will undoubtedly be a bloodthirsty demonic beast.’ Bruno commented mentally. ’However, it seems it’s not close to that yet. We’ll have time to restore the balance.’
