Chapter 196 - Presents

'Of course' but first, Edrick consumed the regular wisps of knowledge, and as per usual, the intel they contained was not very useful, and certainly not relevant to anything he was currently doing, he could probably make a killing at a gameshow with all those random bits of information, though.

This time, he had not gotten any innate ability, techniques or anything of the sort, not even anything relating to sasquatches either, despite the quest being about that, but at this point, he was beyond questioning how reward assignment was done, the system probably just had a list of stuff prepared and just picked from it at any given time.

In any case, the names alone did not tell much, so Anoteros focused a bit, and was faced with the immense list of items and money he had earned through the system but had yet to actually retrieve, and soon found what he had just earned.

*Shark-Pulling Fishing Rod : A fishing rod befitting one of great stature, made up of unknown black wood for the body, and a silver-like material for the line and hooks, its truly special effects only revolve around its longevity and ability to repair itself, everything else is pure craftsmanship and up to the user's skills and strength*

Having always had a soft spot for the countryside and sparsely populated areas despite his main hobby of gutting people, Edrick was familiar with the activity of fishing, but he had never done more than fish in rivers, the largest one he had ever hooked was probably a catfish, but clearly, this particular rod was intended to catch more than that, the name alone gave it away.

This world had beasts and monsters as well, and as everybody should know, the worst stuff was probably hiding in water or in space.

Hell, there were probably sapient species living in bodies of water as well, it would certainly be awkward if one got themselves stuck on his hook, not that he wouldn't eat them, but still.

He would have to inform himself on how that all worked, and where fishing could be done without a monstrosity lunging out of the water to eat you alive.

*Brutish Nodachi : A simple sword of good smithing, a weapon better wielded by those who favour brute strength*

In comparison, the sword was just a Nodachi that had been created differently from how it was supposed to be, the handle and blade were definitely much larger than normal, and its weight would probably be far above standard as well, the only reason it wasn't classified as a regular weapon was its novelty, and besides, Edrick did not have any cultivation technique for such a sword.

Although he could cultivate plenty of different techniques at the same time, adding another one to the mix wouldn't be wise, so this weapon would just stay where it was for later usage.

*Outspoken Blank Book : A large book that contains no writings, whatever is written upon it can then be spoken by the book, regardless of language, the user can choose many parameters, such as accent or even the time period, amongst others*

'Huh… That's a perfect gift for Hui, she could learn much more if she could just hear the language being spoken…' his third wife would be able to learn the spoken versions of any language with much greater ease with this, and could even find out how lost and ancient tongues were spoken.

Hui didn't complain about anything to Anoteros, but he knew that she lamented the fact that she couldn't get native speakers within reach to endlessly question them, he had almost planned on kidnapping some, but this would be much more efficient.

'Then… I suppose the other three items are also…'

*Teaching Array Tool : A tool that can change appearance to a moderate degree depending on the surface or method used to draw an array, when the user is trying to reproduce an array, any mistake or inaccuracy in the drawing will be pointed out*

Indeed, it seemed like Edrick was correct, this one would be perfect for Fanqia, although its usage was limited to copying a pre-existing array, he didn't see anywhere that it would not work if the array she was trying to copy was one she had come up with herself, so all in all, it was a tool that made it possible to have a perfectly drawn array every single time, that would certainly help his first wife progress faster as she wouldn't need to worry about the main aspect of array-making.

*Antique Training Dao : A wooden dao that will indicate any error in posture and training in general, as long as it relates to a Dao sword, including cultivation techniques*

Obviously, this one was for Linmin and whilst the item's usage in general was limited due to only working if a precise type of sword was involved, it was worth endless money to one who only planned on wielding a Dao, but this was to be expected since the system created such things itself, as it had said, it could not replicate existing things, but that was probably for best as it enabled it to come up with very precise and niche things for its user.

Such as a training tool for Edrick's foppoof wife.

Anoteros knew that Linmin still took his role as a servant and bodyguard very seriously, so he should be thrilled by this.

*Nonsensical Nothing : A black box that serves no purpose, but whose attributes, material, et cetera... are ever-changing*

Knowing that this was most certainly meant for Luxuli made it rather easy to guess its use, and the fact that the system thought that this was a good thing to give her proved something else as well.

This box was the perfect thing for her to use her special eyes on as it never stayed the same and thus, was always becoming a new item for her to analyse, and thus, it showed that using her special ability improved it, which was something neither Edrick or Luxuli could tell for sure if it was the case or not.

Anoteros would have expected something about magic for her, but this was great as well, his fourth wife's ability to just inspect things and get to know a whole bunch of things about it in an instant might not seem like much on paper, but it made her a great appraiser from the get-go, and he definitely intended on having her make use of it in the future.

'Those are some very nice rewards, I wasn't expecting you to help me with my wives as well'

*You are welcome, and as your system, I know how to be flexible, since you want to invest in your wives, I too, shall contribute*

'That's good to know' Edrick stood up from the ground and headed toward the library, where he knew for certain that he was going to find Shu.
