Awakening in the waiting room of the fighters, Krillin heard the referees voice commentating Goku's fight. The room was empty as they had all went out to watch who'd be participating in the final match and possibly be declared the champion.
Sitting up Krillin began rubbing his neck, the sore pain reminded him of how he lost.
'Master Roshi is a crafty one, he has over a century of experience fighting different opponent and he puts that to use. Not to mention he might as well have been precognitive when fighting me, every single move I thrown is something he created!'
The reason Krillin resorted to throwing rocks and forcing Roshi to block them was because he realized Roshi was reading his every move, every single punch or kick he threw was something Roshi himself had taught him!
Krillin tried to rely on his training from the Shaolin monks but that still didn't faze the experienced Roshi, Krillin had no chance at defeating Roshi even if they had similar power levels.
"At least I picked my quest correctly" With a thought Krillin entered the white void that is his storage and picked up a purple vial with liquid in it and brought it back to the real world.
'System are you sure this is safe?'
Krillin remembered that this Divine water was actually poisonous but could awaken the users potential. Everyone who previously used it died but Goku managed to survive and become strong enough to defeat Demon King Piccolo!
[The Divine Water has been modified for host safety]
[At the cost of a slight reductions of affect, the Divine water is now 100% safe to consume]
[The affects are still painful]
'So the water is not as potent but I definitely won't die to it... That's a fair cost seeing as how I'm not a Saiyan and would definitely die to it. Bottoms up I guess!'
Cranking the cork off the vial, Krillin felt nervous but didn't let that stop him as he down the entire vial of liquid.
Tasting the disgusting herbs slide down his throat and into his stomach, Krillin suddenly felt lightning rampage about through his body!
Grasping his throat that was in severe pain he writhed on the floor in agony, the screams he emitted were drowned out by the cheering crowd and a large puddle of sweat grew underneath him.
He didn't know if it was ten seconds or ten minutes but eventually the affects wore off an a pleasant noise rang out in his mind.
[Host's power level is 107 and has met the conditions to open up the Gift pack.]
A wave of excitement washed over Krillin seeing this message and immediately opened up the Pack.
1. Gene purification (Hosts body will be purified of abnormalities and have the pinnacle potential of the Hosts Species. Activated upon obtaining)
2. Host can detect being with power levels less than a 1,000 from 50,000 ft away
3. Three free tickets to gain knowledge on an object, subject, or technique without sacrificing Power level.
4. Upgraded storage space function (can put items in stasis)
5. Gift Pack (only accessible at a power level of 10000)
Just he finished read through his gift pack an overwhelming nauseous sensation overcame him and he immediately began throwing up a black liquid!
The pores of his skin began secreting the same liquid, his eyes and even ears also began to pour out this revolting black material that stunk like rotten meat and sweat
It all happened in less than 10 seconds but Krillin looked liked he'd just been dunked in tar! Despite the disgusting liquid that clunch to his body, Krillin never felt better!
His body felt lighter, his vision cleared, his hearing was so good he could actually hear Goku's fight over the crowd, and he'd lost 10lb yet the boy felt stronger!
'This must be that Gene Purification reward, it said that my body has been cleansed of all abnormalities and made me the pinnacle of my species! I hope that also affects my dwarfism, I'd hate to be below 5ft my entire life.'
Feeling the affects on his body, Krillin was caught up in the moment when he suddenly heard the announcer declare Goku the winner of his match!
Krillin looked around worried, he and the floor was covered in this black liquid that made the entire room reek.
Without any hesitation Krillin broke out into a full sprint and ran towards his hotel, he was too fast to be seen but he was sending the black liquid flying everywhere.
Exiting the tournament hall, Krillin ran right past the homeless Bacterian sleeping on the steps. As he ran past a large glob of the black liquid flew off of Krillin and splattered right on the Bacterians face.
The man awoke from his dream and smeared the liquid off of his face, only for the homeless man's dirty face to turn green in disgust before he vomited all of his breakfast!
Krillin didn't know it but from that day forth, Bacterian changed his ways and took a shower for the first time in his life...
***
As the shower water hit his face and washed away the remaining black gunk, Krillin could see that his skin shined with a never before seen luster. The acne and pimples that were just starting to bloom on his teen face completely disappeared, along with all of the moles and bags under his eyes.
Under the water Krillins eyes opened as a flash or determination passed through them.
'System use one of my free tickets and grant me as much knowledge on how to activate my Ki that you can give!'
[Ticket has been used, Host will receive his request]
A stream of knowledge began pouring into Krillins brain, it didn't hurt but instead have a weird nostalgic feeling liked hed just regained a phantom limb.
Raising his hand up, a white ball of energy collected into Krillins fists before suddenly disappearing. Krillin now knew exactly how to manipulate and use his Ki but he was still inexperienced in it, and only training can gain him experience.
'That is weird though, I asked to receive as much Knowledge it could give me and yet this aln5ost feels like the basics! '
[Free knowledge tickets are very limited in what they can grant Host. If Host wishes further their knowledge or gain knowledge on a powerful technique, sacrificing Power levels is the only way]
'So the tickets are limited? Wait! Is this System just giving me free samples of its knowledge function? Does it want to show me what it can do so that it can entice me to sacrifice my Ki to it!'
This was a major bummer to Krillin who planned on saving the rest for the future, but as time went on and the stronger he grew, the more useless these free tickets will become. So before he outgrew their use he decided to spend the other two ticket.
'I want to know the Kaio-ken technique'
[That is outside of the Free Tickets ability, Host needs to sacrifice 25,000 power levels to learn]
'The tickets are this limited? lf I can't learn a powerful technique I just need to think up something that will allow me to get stronger, and they'll have to be on earth.'
Krillin stood in that shower for over an hour remembering every detail of dragon ball that he could. He didn't know if it was this body or a hidden gift from the system but he seemed to remember most of Dragon Ball series, it was thanks to this that he remember two things that would be perfect to get stronger!
'System I want to know the location of that Bansho Fan'
[Location sent, Host will instinctively know the exact location of the Bansho Fan]
Feeling an unconscious pull in a direction Krillin knew his system was right, with that confirmation he used up his third and final ticket.
'I want to know the exact location of the Paradise Herbs!'
[Location sent, Host will instinctively know the exact location of the Paradise Herb]
Another unconscious pull came to Krillins mind as a deep smile pervaded the boys face.
Paradise herb was the magical plant that kept Master Roshi immortal, this plant was guarded by a forest of illusions that reacted to ones Ki.
Krillin plans on following the original Krillins footsteps and learning the 'Selflessness state' technique which gives perfect Ki control. He learned it after facing off against that forests illusions but instead of waiting to learn it during the dragon ball super arc, he'll learn it much earlier!
As for the Bansho Fan, it is a lost magical fan that can create natural disaster level storms with just a swing but that's not why Krillin wanted it, he wanted to use it and meet the true guardian of earth!
The woman who kept the evil spirits from invading the world!
