32 Discovering New Stuff Everyday.

What seems normal to me, was abnormal to other's. Since Grace were now apart of the family, and was genuinely trustworthy enough as she has now become my fully devoted fiancé, naturally I disclosed how I typically act in a dungeon, after all she does have a firm understanding of venturing a dungeons. I explained how I did my research about the monster spawn, how I predicted their movement, how I dealt with them, my thorough scouting process.

"No wonder you were able to wave through that many monster alone…you have basically exploited the whole system…as expected of my husband…too amazing..". (Grace)

She clearly looks as if she just heard about my method, despite her experience of venturing into dungeons.

"...umm..how does people usually does when venturing into dungeons?..".

"Normally, most warriors and wizards, just entered and killed everything on their way to the middle…most of them doesn't even apply such thorough and genius tactic like yours…". (Grace)

She said it as if it was the normal and the most obvious things to do. Hearing her no wonder, not many warrior and wizards willing to entered a dungeons, also their 'normal' way of doing things just heighten the death rates and injuries. Sometimes, people were just too attached to the normalcy and traditions, despite knowing that it will bring nothing good.

"Hubby..I can't find your sword?..did you have it with you?..". (Maria)

Maria comes out from our bedroom with a questioning look on her face. My equipment were all maintained by her, after the first day that I started my dungeons venturing, at that night she and Minako saw that I was sharpening and oiling my weapons, Maria then insisted that she will took over that for me, she was very adamant about it and even pouted and sulked after I denied her help, which I then leads me to teach her, and since then she was in-charged of maintaining my equipment's, also she were now very proficient at it, she even managed to get me fish oil from the market for that purpose. As for the whetstone, I crafted it myself by buying hard stone in [Shop] and turned it into 100 whetstone using [Crafting].

"It's here…I have to craft more, crossbow bolt later..I used up quite a lot today..".

I said as I pulled out My bloody executioner sword and my Crossbow from my [Inventory], and gave it to Maria. Maria took it to the back and cleans the blood on everything, then brought them back to the Living room, in front of the wood burning stove, spread a clean cloth, ready all the maintenance tools then started the process.

"SPuurrttt!!…is that a full metal swords??..". (Grace)

Grace, who looked at Maria, pulling my sword out of it's scabbard. Spit out her coffee and glued her eyes on my sword.

"Yes..it an executioner sword…the sword that I used..that is my crossbow..also my favorite weapons..why are you so shocked?..".

"Maria can I looked at it?…<DING!>…it really is a full metal iron swords…even the looks of it were pure and strong..you must used a lot of crystal to buy this right?…". (Grace)

She flicked the sword body and listened to it's sound, she inspect my crossbow then put it down, she was clearly admiring my weapons as if it was something that was a rare items that costed a lot of crystal to buy.

"Actually not, I crafted all my weapons myself…by the way…can I see your weapon?…also is a full metal weapons that rare?..".

"Here..I used mace as my weapon…of course it's rare…normally weapons were just coated with metals..just for the blade part..look at my mace..only the spike part were iron the handle, body and everything were all wood…". (Grace)

Grace handed me her mace, that she pulled out of her ring ,it was a normal one handed mace, with 4 feet long, slim handle and shaft, with a spiked ball head. The mace itself revealed of it's long and frequent use with a few scratches here and there. But what unique about this mace, was 90 percent of it were all wood, only the spikes were made out of iron.

"Really?…I supposed even swords were mostly just wood except for it's blades right?…wow, that's a news to me…I guess that is also why the warrior and wizards seems to have a hard times…".

"And also the reason why you were so deadly….wow, and you created this yourself…this is amazing..". (Grace)

She added, and still exclaimed and proud to the fact that I actually made my equipment's. Once again, what is normal to me , is definitely not to the entire world. Since the night has getting late, once again, Grace stayed at our Boathouse for the night, but since she wasn't married fully to me yet, Minako were adamant to not let her slept with me, but still she sleep on the same bed as ours but on the far end of the bed, right next to Maria, and Minako was next to me as always. After all, Minako was someone who really fond and strict when it comes to uphold the norms of a marriage. I didn't mind about it, so is Grace, but still she does shows a little bit of subtle emotions when she wasn't able to sleep close to me.

The next day, was the day for Maria and Minako to finally stopped working at their workplace, Naturally the day starts the same, but now there 3 woman leaving the house in the morning instead of the usual 2. I decided to just stayed at home waiting for them come back home, says Minako they wont belong, all they did was to just say farewell and collect their stuff at their lockers and get back home.

"I supposed it's time for me to upgrade my defense and got those 2 and Minako friends equipment's made..".

Since I have killed over 1 000 goblins my skill cards collections has gotten a little bit much, but counting on the type it was just a few, the skill cards that I have were all F grade skills, mainly covered all the basic skill of weapons art, From daggers, swords, spears, blunt weapons and archery, as for Magic skill cards, I got Fire Magic [Fire Ball], Wind Magic [Wind Blade], Water Magic [Water Ball], Earth Magic [Dirt Spike], and among the the rarest skill card that I got was 2 magic skill card which graded a E grade, Nature Magic [Plant Manipulations] and Healing Magic [Abnormal Clearing]. for the normal magic and weapons art skills card I got quite a stack of them each cards was over 100 or so. On the 2 E grade Magic Skill card were one of each. I set aside, each single of the skill cards that consists of all the weapons arts skill cards and all the magic skill cards, one of each making it a set that, Minako, Maria and the new employee will use.

"I wondered, if my [Crafting] can also dismantle things?..".

I have never tried dismantled things using my [Crafting] menus, I have a lot of Goblin carcasses, and all of them has yet being pulled out their crystals yet. So I decided to try if it's worked, since as of now my whole [Inventory] slots were occupied, I decided to free a little bit of space by pulled out a few items that does not have to much stacks, like the bed, and a few small items, which all of it were the things that I scavenge from the apartments. All the things that I obtained in the dungeons, were just stack way too many, if I pulled them out in this boathouse, it will probably sink due to overweight.

"Oh!..it works!..maybe a little bit to well…wow really, a goblin balls can ensure longer sexual stamina and enhance the volume of sperms?…wow..no wonder the goblins were very horny…".

As soon I dragged the Goblin carcasses from my [Inventory] and dropped them in to my [Crafting], a single options pop open, which [Dismantle], as soon as I click it a blue bar of progression/timer that counted for 3 second started. As the timer end, the carcass was fully dismantled into many items that spans over 20 new items, which then opened up many recipe in the [Crafting] menus. The carcass gave up so many items, from Goblin Skins/Leather, Goblin Fang, Goblin testicles, Goblin Heart, Goblin Meat, literally everything that made the entire goblin were listed all together, but so far the usable items that opened a new [crafting] recipe was only, Goblin Testicles and Goblin Blood for the [Sexual Enhancement Potion], Goblin Skin/Leather which can be used just like any other leather, Goblin Fang for crafting a low level magic daggers, Goblin Eye and Blood to make a [Low Level Poison Potions]. The rest is just as useless as it can be, naturally the meat can be eaten but, even in the descriptions it says that it tasted horrible and bad for health if consumed for a long time.

Since I can use my [Crafting] for dismantling all the Goblin carcasses, I did it, for all the goblin carcasses that I have in my [Inventory]. what I got was, 1 400 Low Grade Crystals, 1 400 Cured Goblin Leather, 2 800 Liter of Goblin bloods, 2 800 Dried Goblin Testicles, 2 800 Goblin Eyes, 1 400 Goblin Fangs. I Also obtained an Additional 700 S-Coins from selling all the remaining harvested parts of the Goblins Carcasses, selling an intact carcass will yield me 1 s-coins, but since I already know that I can actually dismantle the entire carcasses and got a few useful materials from it, naturally I will harvest it, I don't mind even it the remaining parts of one carcass only worth 0.5 S-coins per carcass, it is still worth it. I needed the Goblin Leather to craft defensive equipment's, after all, that's when making such items leather is one of the essentials materials, Although I can make a full metal armor or something. Let's be honest, a full metal armor wasn't that comfortable, further more to get to a dungeon we have to dive underwater, and wearing a full metal armor under the sea water and fight?. is it really a good idea?. not really, maybe, but it's not worth it for me to test that theory.

Besides, Although by just having the Goblin Leather has opened a lot of defensive equipment's recipes on my [Crafting] menus, I can still personally improved the template recipe on my own, tweaking every aspect of with, whether the design color and even added some materials with it. Like my Entire system name [Basic Systems], it provides me with all the Basic features and amenities, but it doesn't constrict my own personal creativity nor limit myself, it provides me with all things basics then it was to me to to added more things according to what I wanted. It like saying 'Basic things is there and permanent, the rest you figure out yourselves' that is my systems really was.

My whole fortunes after about 4 days of working, was now I have in my possession 3100 Low Grade, 35 Mid grade, and 33 High Grade Crystals. Crystals cannot be changed using my Systems, it can't not be evolved to the higher grade, because it was still considered as items, not a currency that were used to buy items fro [Shop] although it can be exchanged. As for my S-coins, right now I have a total of 719 S-coins, keeping track of my coins is quite hard, because I use it daily, to buy foods, clean waters and a lot of other stuff. Still if you asked me, in terms of being in the 4th Bridge, I am very rich although I still lived in this humble small houseboat. My close goals that I have set was to buy a new boats, I was considering either a merchant ship or perhaps a galleon, but is supposed if I can't buy or find the ships I can just settled on anything that just a little bit bigger that this current one. I feels that I was getting stuffy in here, beside the nightly actions of me, Minako and Maria were just too loud and too much rocking for this small boat, I am pretty sure that our neighbors in front of us heard the actions almost all night. Which is why she's always blushing when she saw me walking on the bridge in the morning.
