Nick found Curt's diary extremely amusing, but he was more interested in the treasures for now. Throwing back the Diary on the stack of weapons, Nick began exploring the space in the ring.

The space in the ring was huge, although not infinite, causing Nick to fall into an even deeper round of confusion as to how such a precious object landed in the hands of a lowly bandit like Curt.

Nick even began to suspect that Curt might be the bastard son of an immortal. Then by the corner, Nick found a decorated table with two items sitting on it.

One was a book, while the other was a dark yet large boulder.

Nick went up to the table, the book couldn't possibly be another diary, right? Not really expecting much, Nick Picked up the book and found that this one didn't have a title on its cover either, flipping to the first page he began to read.

------

Diary of a loving grandfather!!

Today my granddaughter lost her first tooth, making her look even cuter!! How is this possible, I ask myself? Tonight, she plans on placing her teeth underneath her pillow. She believes the tooth fairy will take it then leave her a gift in return; I kept watch the whole night guarding that tooth! I dare that fairy to try!!

-----

Nick felt really frustrated. Why did this Curt guy keep not only his own diary but also the diary of others?!!

But how would he know that this diary was acquired by Curt because he had thought it was a Cultivation manual, it was only later that he found out what he had chosen, that annoying Grandpa had made sure he couldn't open or touch anything before he chose it, which was why this book had always caused his heart to ache.

Nick slammed the diary onto the table angrily and was about to leave the storage ring when he suddenly felt his bloodline boil. It was as if his blood wanted to leave his body and attack an enemy!!

Nick slowly turned head to the thing causing such a reaction, it was the bolder on the table. The bolder was the source of all the commotion in Nick's bloodline. Nick slowly moved his hand to touch the boulder, and as soon as his palm came in contact with the boulder, he felt his bloodline racing.

Ingredients! Nick commanded.

[Shadow Dragon-(Egg)

If you eat this thing instead of making it your pet you're either a god or an idiot you might even be both, we don't judge. This dragon is a prince of the dragon race, known for its ability to wield shadows and meld into them. This dragon is terrifying!! But now it's an egg, so what good does all that scary description do it.

Effects: Exp +2,000,000, Consuming this egg may result in the consumer gaining one of the Shadow Dragons abilities!

Ways to cook: Scrambled, Omelet, Poached, boiled... ]

Nick stood there stunned, Curt was definitely the bastard son of an immortal, and even if he wasn't, he was at least entertaining a very powerful sugar mommy!

He had again misunderstood Curt, the bolder was something Curt had found in an underground cave years ago, and he had found that the bolder was especially useful in sharpening swords so he kept it not knowing how precious and valuable it was. Even the lightning sage might have killed Curt to get such a precious egg.

If Curt had known that the bolder was actually a powerful dragon egg he wouldn't have dared peed on it so many times out of boredom...

Ding! Congratulation on acquiring 1/2 dragon eggs for the main quest, will the host be submitting the egg for the quest?

Nick was really conflicted about this, especially because he really wanted the two million experience points the egg would provide, plus he didn't know what the system wanted to do with the egg.

But alas, what use were experience points when you can't even break through, Nick then allowed the system to take the egg, albeit unwillingly.

Nick then kept on looking around the space, in hopes of finding anything else of value and soon stood in front of a weapons rack, Nick was casually skimming through the weapons when he saw a gorgeous great sword in the middle as if it were the king of all weapons.

The weapon didn't seem to belong to Curt since the aura it was releasing was so overwhelming it prevented even Nick from approaching it.

Nick now became certain that Curt had sold his body to some rich immortal, Nick even began considering if he should do the same until something frightening occurred to him. It occurred to him how he didn't even know if Curt had sold his body to a female immortal or a male immortal, it was even possible he had sold it to a beast if he was open-minded enough!!!

Nick chased away his impure thoughts and proceeded to try and obtain the sword, but try as he may he was flung away every time he got close to the Greatsword, until finally, Nick used all his techniques and turned into a giant, and even activated his Dragon eyes to counter the sword's overbearing aura.

Finally, Nick got in close enough to rest his hands on the hilt of the sword immediately throwing it into his own storage space, then he conducted a massive cleanup, everything in this space was transferred into his own storage space, and only after he had transferred everything including the diaries did he go to inspect the sword.

His storage space was infinite, making it more difficult to see most of the things inside from one angle, but with a mere thought, the Greatsword appeared in front of Nick, floating and revolving mid-air.

Nick also found that there was a name engraved on the sword that read, "THE LIGHTNING SAGE"

Nick studied the sword from top to bottom but couldn't ascertain its rank no matter how hard he tried.

Desperate he could only try his luck with the only appraisal skill he had, "Ingredients!!"

[Great sword-(immortal king grade weapon)

It's a…sword, buddy, do you really want to eat this? I mean it isn't fun going in, and you can only imagine how it would feel going out... Anyway, this sword belonged to the lightning sage, causing the sword to contain traces of heavenly thunder...

Effects: Constipation, 1,000,000 Exp points, and possibly death by thunder poisoning.

Ways to cook: Melted Greatsword with barbecue sauce, Chopped Great sword stew...]

Nick's butt involuntarily tightened; the description was just too savage. But at least now he knew what he was in the procession off. it was at this time Nick understood that no journey was pointless, even a small-scale bandit crew could contribute so much to his journey.

Happy with his gains Nick dismissed Peter from his cooking duties, deciding to personally prepare the dinner himself tonight, and be it the kids or Peter, everyone was excited for the culinary delight that Nick was about to bring them.
