Crossover Anime: From DanMachi to Becoming a Garbage Scavenging Master

A week later, in the small fishing town of Melon.

The morning sunlight slanted through the old wooden windows, casting a warm golden glow on the rough wooden table, illuminating the freshly baked white bread, the still-steaming fish soup, and a few thinly sliced, golden-brown fish. The house itself was far from comfortable—the floor was made of rammed earth, the windows let in drafts, and the beams were clearly in disrepair—but the two sisters sitting across the table stood out conspicuously, creating a strange and striking contrast to the humble seaside cottage.

The white-haired twins, Alphia and Metria, wore almost identical black and white maid outfits. The hems and cuffs of their skirts were adorned with delicate lace, their legs were covered in spotless white stockings, and their little black leather shoes were polished to a shine. Both the texture of the fabric and their demeanor were clean, neat, and composed, like dolls that had been carefully dressed up.

"Hmm, as expected of me! This outfit suits them perfectly!" The Black Tower's soul looked them over, its tone full of satisfaction.

Metria was oblivious to this, simply taking small bites of her bread. Her cheeks were no longer as pale as before, but had regained some color, and her eyes curved into crescent moons, clearly indicating that she was in a good mood.

"The fish soup was delicious today, Lord Prometheus."

Zheng Tianxing picked up the bowl, took a sip of soup, and nodded casually.

"It seems you're recovering well. But since the shop has just opened, you can help out with the chores, but don't push yourself too hard."

Metalia nodded gently, her expression docile and earnest.

Thank you for your concern.

Unlike her sister, Alphia didn't participate in the idle chatter. Instead, she opened a book and carefully studied the various monster illustrations inside, her brows furrowing slightly as if she were diligently memorizing every detail.

"Minotaur, Silverback Ape, Cerberus..." she murmured to herself, her tone somewhat solemn. "So there are so many kinds of monsters in the Orario dungeons. If I want to become an adventurer in the future, knowing this information in advance will at least prevent me from being caught off guard when I encounter danger."

Metalia immediately leaned over and exclaimed in a low voice:

"Sister, this monster's horns are huge."

"That's a Minotaur."

"It looks so fierce!"

Zheng Tianxing put down his soup bowl, looked at them, and couldn't help but smile.

"Interested in becoming an adventurer, Alphia?"

Alphia raised her head, her expression serious and calm.

"Only by having power can you protect those who are important to you."

As she spoke, she instinctively placed her hand on Metalia's shoulder, and Metalia immediately hugged her arm encouragingly.

"My sister is the best. She will definitely become a great adventurer."

Breakfast ended quickly. Metalia was clearing away the dishes, while Alfia was organizing the goods. Zheng Tianxing casually asked, "Are you planning to help out at the store today too?"

Metalia nodded immediately, her voice filled with undisguised joy.

"Yes! There were a lot of customers yesterday; many people were asking if they could still buy the 'Heart-Nourishing and Soul-Returning Pill' today."

Alfia added:

"Besides the local fishermen, three passing adventurer teams came to inquire yesterday, seemingly intending to make this a long-term supply point."

Zheng Tianxing nodded, thinking it was normal. After all, his newly opened shop had already made a name for itself on its first day of business.

Although Mellen Town isn't too far from Orario, due to the scarcity of adventurers, no real apothecary clan has ever settled there. While healing potions and sanity potions might be readily available in Orario, their prices in Mellen Town are often much higher – and on the very first day a shop opened, they set both items at a flat price.

"Nourishing Heart and Soul-Returning Pill" and "Jim Roger Bread Flavored Soda" are both specialties from the Collapse Iron World that Zheng Tianxing found, and are also products whose recipes he has already mastered. Through the universal synthesis machine developed by the Black Tower, as long as he has the corresponding recipe, he can transform the useless household waste he salvages in space into corresponding finished resources.

The former can quickly restore magic power, while the latter can quickly restore vitality and stamina. Currently, the clan has successfully established itself in this world precisely because of these two main products.

"Lord Prometheus is truly amazing! We've found so many treasures, from my sister's and my clothes to the products sold in the shops!"

As Metalia placed the cleaned empty soda bottles one by one into the wooden crate, she tilted her head and asked curiously:

"I've heard that gods seal off their divine powers after descending to the mortal realm... Is Lord Prometheus an exception?"

"I am indeed somewhat special. As Prometheus, I possess the unique power to steal fire, which doesn't require divine power to use. That's why I always manage to find good things every day! This is the secret to our clan's rapid development!"

Metalia immediately covered her mouth and said, "Metria will protect the secret for the sake of the Familia."

Alphia nodded thoughtfully, indicating that she understood.

"Then, let's get ready to head to the shop."

-----------------

Upon arriving at the shop, the Alphia sisters began tidying up the shelves in preparation for opening for business, while Skywalker went into the warehouse to begin his Void scavenging adventure for the day.

The moment the door closed, the Black Tower's spirit floated out of the ring, ready to announce some major news: "I have good news for you, the cheat system 'Simulated Universe: Origins' has been updated."

Zheng Tianxing asked excitedly, "Hmm? Besides the all-powerful synthesizer, is there finally a new function?"

Black Tower explained, "That's right. By analyzing the Seed of the World within you, I have built a stable resource recycling channel for you. The process that originally required you to spend time and mental energy salvaging resources one by one in the universe can now be handled systematically."

"The one-click ten-pull function added to the cheat code will automatically complete a large-scale resource recycling and put the items into the storage space."

"Based on your current mental energy reserves, a ten-pull will almost completely deplete your daily recovery amount."

Zheng Tianxing chose to immediately offer emotional support, loyally stating, "Ms. Black Tower is simply the sun in my heart!"

Someone was clearly pleased and instructed, "Now, how about trying out the new feature?"

Zheng Tianxing nodded, rubbed his hands together, took a deep breath after completing the card-drawing ritual, and focused his consciousness on the semi-transparent simulated universe control panel provided by the Black Tower in the void. He then gently tapped the button for one-click ten-draws.

The response to this action was a surge from the depths of the universe.

Ten streaks of light silently appeared. They had no physical form, yet they left faint shadows in the air; they had no temperature, yet they slightly distorted the surrounding light, as if existing between existence and non-existence. After a moment, these streaks of light quietly converged and fell into Zheng Tianxing's palm, condensing into ten orbs of light of different colors, which then disappeared one by one.

The control panel lit up, displaying the results—seven whites, two blues, and one gold. Surprisingly, my luck was pretty good!

The white light spots unfolded first, revealing everyday items: a few ordinary samurai swords, a case of Coca-Cola, and a whole bucket of fried chicken.

"I'll treat you to fried chicken and cola tonight!"

After dealing with these miscellaneous tasks, his attention turned to the remaining harvest. The blue dots represented fragments of rules.

As always, he channeled them into his body, feeding them to the dormant Seed of the World. As the two fragments were absorbed, the previously still entity finally began to show a subtle fluctuation of energy. An inexplicable premonition quietly surfaced in his heart—tonight might bring some kind of change.

As for that last golden dot of light, it was anything but ordinary. He clearly sensed that it was an entire broken world. The timeline within that world was already disordered, the threads of history overlapped and twisted, the chains of cause and effect were broken and then roughly pieced back together, and everything was collapsing in an irreconcilable chaos.

Even in this shattered world, the outlines of twelve famous swords can still be vaguely discerned. Each sword has a different cold gleam and its own independent intent, yet they are intertwined, as if forming the final skeleton of this world.

And what connects all of this are two figures—

A tall, dark blue-haired young man.

A petite woman with flowing white hair.

This world is—

The Language of the Sword.

"This is the first time we've seen a world like this." Black Tower looked around with great interest. "Its overall strength is significantly lower than the DanMachi world we're in now, but it's also significantly higher than the usual rule fragments. It's quite interesting."

Zheng Tianxing suggested, "But precisely because of this, there will definitely be less interference from the world's will. It's worth going in to investigate and see what resources we can recover."

"No problem," Black Tower continued, "Remember to record the output of each ten-pull. Our understanding of the resource recycling mechanism is still very limited, and we need enough samples for subsequent optimization."

"Also, remember to call me when you're inscribing the grace upon the Alphia sisters. I need to record the relevant data simultaneously."

"No problem, Ms. Black Tower."

After receiving a response, the Black Tower's soul swiftly returned to Zheng Tianxing's ring, presumably to resume her research for the next stage.

Before Zheng Tianxing could settle his thoughts, Alphia's voice came from outside the door.

"Lord Prometheus, the god Njord is outside requesting an audience with you."
