98 Sharing the Blessing (1/2)
[Day 79]
Because Zehe will most likely give birth in the following days, the Rin Sisters have been taking care of the Dungeon System tasks and activities. The dungeon has successfully reached eight floors now, and a new type of monster is roaming the place.
Thanks to the various upgrades, the sisters were able to buy a new Dungeon Skill named [New Generation], which diversifies the evolution of Blood Monsters and Demonic Ants. Now new variants are roaming the place and slowly diversifying. These monsters are [Blood Bone Monsters] and [Poisonous Hellish Ants]. They possess bigger bodies and net more EXP, Gold, Magic Cores and Equipment.
Some of the dropped equipment have begun to appear with special Skills that I can use to craft stronger items. Today, I've collected a fair amount of these.
Although they're mostly of [Rare] quality, they can become pretty good materials, so I spent several hours synthesizing them into materials using my Alchemy mastery.
When I reached my 25 daily uses, I had to stop. Although I could obtain more daily synthesize uses, I wanted to train for the rest of the day. Before leaving the workshop, I made sure to save all these new crafting materials on my Item Box.
While saving them, I inspected one of the highest quality ones, which were crafted using a [Rare+++] Silver Gloves.
[Enhanced Recycled Silver Ingot: A strong and high-quality Silver Ingot made by recycling and synthesizing the [Rare+++] equipment [Silver Gloves]
[Traits: [High Quality] [Enhanced Hardness] [Magical Conductivity]
[Bonus Traits: [Medium Fire Resistance] [Blazing Fist] [Flame Damage Up+] [Fire Storage]
This one could make an amazing item if paired with even more traits, from all my servants, I think it could benefit Truhan the most because although Kjata can equip items, she is just better off with her own natural armor. Alice could also benefice from it, but she is not here.
Leaving that aside, I told the rest of the workers on the Workshop to keep synthesizing the remaining equipment into ingots.
I quickly flew to the Training Grounds and tirelessly trained with my servants and some of my wives. The menu on today's' mobs to slay were Enhanced Undead Chimera Dragons. A new type of monster that I designed to fight, there were also the classic Enhanced Super Undead Soldiers on the mix.
These new monsters overwhelmed most of the rookies, who needed to work together to be able to stand a chance. However, there wasn't any need for my assistance, as we have plenty of healers now.
[You gained 759213 EXP] [The rest of your servants gained tons of EXP]
[You gained one level!] [LEVEL 67/70 EXP 0582750/1373000]
[Your servants gained tons of levels!]
Tonight, dinner was something I've been saving for a while, these were the bodies of various mermen that died on the earthquake provoked by my fight with the Old Ancestor. Thanks to things not decomposing inside the Item Box, their meat was as fresh and tender as always.
The meat was prepared in several ways, their fish tails were made into the hot pot and fried slices. There were also soup noodles with fish cakes made with their tails and also sushi! Yes! Although it's not really like Earth's sushi, it was still quite decent.
[Fresh Merman Tail Sushi: A delicious preparation made with freshly sliced merman tail meat alongside different boiled forest grains and Great Lake seaweed.]
[Grants +10 to Speed and Magic]
[Heals +60 Stamina and +40 MP]
I didn't tell that this fish was from mermen, as all the merfolk rookies happily ate the preparations. Even Adelle… Hmm, I think this feels wrong… Ugh…
Somehow, I felt a little bit of guilt on making these people unknowingly do cannibalism…
Adelle was munching on some sushi as she looked at me with her usual calm and unexpressive glare.
\”Wife, what is it?\”
\”AH! N-Nothing! Nothing at all!\”
\”Hmm…\”
Phew… That was close, I will never tell them the truth of this day… I will bring this secret to the grave…
Anyways, I spent the first half of the day on a double date with Adelle and Mady, we went around town and then had some lovely time on a hotel, so we wouldn't bother Zehe and my other wives.
This was the first time going on a hotel for Adelle so she was rather shy, but in the end, she slowly calmed down and enjoyed the pleasure.
At the end of the night, I gifted both of them with some new accessories. I gave Mady the [Enhanced Hypnotizing Kraken Soul Golden Ring], which I managed to add several new traits and skills like [All Thunder Resistance], etc. On Adelle's side, she received a [Light Spirit Tear Holy Bracelet], a beautiful bracelet that I crafted with several Light Spirit Stones and my own blood, which gave it healing properties.
Both of them loved their new gifts that weren't just some ornament, but a way for them to get stronger and protect themselves.
[Sub Classes Fields]
[Alchemy: level 8/10 > 9/10]

[Day 80]
Kjata and Nereid have been awfully too close today as well, thankfully, Yurei is rather calm and doesn't fight for my attention. There must be something inherent in those spirits that I summon that makes them want to be so close to me…
Anyways, today I decided to add Adelle and Mady into my official wives through the Kingdom System. I also managed to check some of our stats and found that the steady increase in population has increased the bonus stats granted to everyone by a small amount, meaning, the more people we have, the strongest we get.
[You have selected Sacred Spiritual Koi Mermaid: Adelle Floria Aquaria has your sixth Sub Governor]

When the two girls noticed the notification, they smiled slightly. Adelle tried to mask her happiness while trying to analyze the system.
\”Hmm, is this the Kingdom System you talk so much about? It is rather interesting, our Aquaria Kingdom has been alive for very long, but we have never seen such a system showing up at all. This is perhaps something inherent of your blessing\”
\”A-Ah?! Are you sure, Adelle?\”
Adelle nodded while blushing a little.
\”Umu, did you though that we all had this? If such a thing were true, we certainly wouldn't be in such a position where we lack any kind of war power… Sigh, thankfully, these issues were resolved as we made the Kingdom Union, my wife\”
To think that, what I see as normal, is actually something based on my own powers?
