When Popos asked to follow him, his fake cheerful voice sounded even further strained, like he was trying to hide his embarrassment from getting punched by someone much weaker.
The two walked through the large sky castle, bypassing multiple strange rooms decorated with all kinds of armaments. Not before long they they appeared before a large iron door with a red lock and a crow symbol on it.
Reaching into the hat on his head, Popo rummaged around for a few seconds before he pulled out a red key and stuck it into the lock and opened it.
Krillin was amazed at what he saw, all types of weapons and items that seemed to exuded a sense of magic from them lined the room that seemed to be as large as a major warehouse!
Just from what he sensed he realized a lot of these items were magically infused with energy!
"These are the things we've collected since the dawn of creation on this planet, everything from the Donkeys jawbone used during humanity's first murder to magical items made from ancient and powerful creatures. Things that's have significant historical value and things deemed too powerful for human hands have been kept here." Popo said with pride but Krillin didn't listen, he just stepped forward into the with greed in his heart.
He was about to pick up a golden sword that gave off a faint bloodlust when Popo spoke first.
"You may only touch the three items you wish to obtain, these relics hold heavy importance to human history and shouldn't be fiddled with."
Krillin was about to complain about how he wouldn't be able to identify anything but held his breath and just nodded at Popo's demand. He figured the weird man wouldn't give him the courtesy of explaining what each items does so he didn't even bother asking him.
'System can I use my last ticket to gain the ability to identify items?'
[You may use the ticket to do so, but the details of the item will be very basic compared to using a ticket per item or sacrificing Power levels]
[Warning, system will eventually gain a feature similar to the one you are about to use a ticket on when powerlevel reaches a certain threshold. Do you still wish to use your ticket? Y/N?]
Looking at the thousands of items that lined the treasury, Krillin mentally hit yes on his system.
Krillin didn't feel him mind strain with added knowledge like when he learned knowledge from the system, instead he just looked back at the golden sword and thought about identifying it when suddenly.
[Sword of a tyrant lost to time, the amount of deaths caused by this blade have cursed it with the ability to bleed an opponent dry with even a shallow cut.] Seeing this Krillin was glad he hadn't touched it, even after gaining healing magic granted to him by Shenron it was best not to chance it.
'Thats a powerful ability but at the end of the day it's a gold sword that would break easy, ideally I'll find something that I wont outgrow.'
Looking over at stone knife next to it Krillin once again activated the identify ability.
[Stone knife used by the first shaman, this tool was used to skin and process legendary creatures like the Phoenix and wyvern.]
Despite being a legendary item with an impressive history, the stone knife wasn't useful in a fight so Krillin obviously ignored it.
Like that Krillin began checking and identifying every item within the treasurery, he came across flaming swords and self repairing shields all with short back stories. It took him over 30 hours but eventually under Popo's watchfully eyes he found the few items he decided to keep.
The first one was a metal tea kettle that once you filled it water and poured your Ki into, it would pour out the Divine water that unlocked potential! The description said that it was created by the God of earth that came before Kami!
Obviously Krillin took this kettle as it would solve his need for Divine water that his Divine Herb recipes called for, but he could also give it out to the z fighters.
The second item he picked up was a pair of black leather shoes created by Shenron himself!
Apparently centuries ago in order to win a race in the World Olympics, a small time king who believed in the dragon balls managed to gather all seven and made a wish!
He wished for a pair of magical shoes that made their champion, one of the slowest racers competing, beat the fastest racer in the world by a large margin! The kings wish was for a pair of shoes that doubled the wearer's speed!
Krillin figured instead of going for a magical weapon that would eventually be surpassed by his fist, he might as well get something that he could use immediately and could last him forever if properly taken care of!
As for his last one, Krillin was the most excited of all to find within the treasury, It almost felt it was placed here solely so he could take it! The last item he took was an old gourd that once you pour a drop of any liquid in, fed with Ki, and waited, the amount of liquid increased!
The basic description said that a bandit had once unearthed this relic after grave robbing, he would use this gourd to increase the amount of magical Poison for battle and it didn't lose its potency!
Sadly it came with a few downside, it wasn't an infinite supply of liquid as the moment you took any out of the gourd, it stop reproducing it. And the more energy intense the liquid is, the longer you have to wait and the more Ki you have to feed it.
That being said Krillin didn't think such a downside was that nothing compared to the benefits it will bring him!
With these three treasures in hand, Krillin walked over to the observing Popo who simply nodded at Krillins choice with blank eyes before ushering him out and locking the treasury doors behind them.
"I will be showing you to your sleeping quarters, I'll discuss with Kami and tomorrow you'll begin your training."
After being guided to his simple bedroom, Krillin immediately went to sleep as he hadn't rest in over a week. He figured he needed all of his strength for tomorrow training.

"How strong is that kid?" Kami asked after noticing the slightly flustered Popo.
"His mind has reached an ideal state of calmness for battle, probably from madame Annins teachings. His ki control is phenomenal, he's seemed to have mastered illusions, he has decent enough control over his body, and he seems to have incredible stamina... What the boy needs right now is to increase his bodies physical strength" Popo replied.
"That'll comes naturally with aging and training, but if he'll need a teacher who can properly teach him how to increase his physical strength..." Kami muttered.
"I know who he needs to go to, but the bigger question is when he needs to go..."
