It took me two days to finally get some rest. Instead of enjoying the benefits of turning unholy rich, I was forced to slave away for the entire forty-eight hours after all the events connected to the auction concluded to finish all the pressing matters.
Starting with the production of the second batch of d.i.l.d.os, which by itself didn"t require much time but prolonged focus, I had to rack my brains for hours before I was able to come up with a solution to the greatest problem presented by creating yang harvesters.
Back on earth, there might be entire teams of scientists and craftsmen working together to not only come up with ingenious designs but also to decide on the materials and the manufacturing process of elaborate d.i.l.d.os. Thankfully, it was caused only by strict, market demands. With no spirit of earthy consumers that required a constant influx of new changes and improvements, making a d.i.l.d.o was as simple as stuffing the entire machinery inside a hard and smooth, pointy object.
Compared to that, yang harvested was an entirely diffrent thing.
If I were to just take it easy and murder my perfectionist nature, I could just make it in form of a simple bowl that would be used to store man"s seed before turning it into the yang essence and transferring it to the crystal below. But that would create some problems, that would be far harder to fix or accommodate for later on.
The first problem came with popularizing it. If it didn"t provide any pleasure, not only I would"ve to pay for the females to arouse the males just like they were supposed to do in the auction"s afterparty, but that would be yet another expense on top of paying them to share their essence in the first place!
Additionally, if they were to learn - and I"m sure they would - that females had it far easier, I"m sure that some sparks of conflict would appear, potentially leading to the downfall of the whole idea!
While I wouldn"t be troubled if it just collapsed the moment I would leave for higher levelled lands, but it was obvious that unless I changed my name and started from scratch, it would leave an ugly stain on my reputation, preventing me from repeating the process anywhere else!
With all that in mind, when I was finally able to wash all of my sweat and get into the bed, I was absolutely out of the energy to do anything proactive, despite Eve"s n.a.k.e.d body rubbing on mine.
At this moment, I was exclusively capable of staring at the ceiling, as my mind was barely able to register the tiny movement of my beloved chests. Whenever she softly breathed while laying hugged into me, her chest would slightly rise, making her n.i.p.p.l.es rub my upper body.
Unwilling to spare enough effort to dress up as soon as I dried the bathwater out of my body, I could feel her softness and warmth with even the tiniest piece of my skin.
"Are you sure?"
Purring right into my ear, Eve was lightly rubbing her entire body against mine, trying to get me into the mood. In any other situation, all my hands would be on board, but with the acc.u.mulated stress of the past week, I was too tired to do anything.
In terms of my body prowess, I could still easily go on for at least another week, but this time it was my mental capacity that reached its limits. All the responsibilities behind setting the place up, fighting at the diplomacy table to get people to take part in the event, crafting the items… The list could go for long, but it resulted in me being completely unable to even move a finger.
"I"m sorry dear. You know that I simply can"t."
Barely managing to lift my right hand, I caressed Eve"s cheek, this time feeling her tender skin with my own fingers. Cuddling down n.a.k.e.d had its own benefits, but outside the erogenous zones, the fingers could transmit the feeling of touch the best.
"It"s okay. Thinking how we usually went at it is kinda making me blush…"
Lowering her eyes and hiding her face in my chest only added to her adorableness factor. I think the l.u.s.t that I showered her with as soon as I saw the chance was the ill fruit of my earthy civilisation. I had to be drained to such an extent to be finally able to notice the inner warmth that came with just simple cuddling like that!
Maybe if I started our intimacy like that back then, then discovering all the small secrets about the other person could be a feast prolonged for ages, instead of turning to quick meal devoured as soon as I had the chance. Thinking about this, I realised that in my current state of mind, I longed for nothing more but just spending my time like that with the love of my life.
Obviously, there was still the duel with my dear f.u.c.k.i.n.g cousin coming and I was sure that his backers would figure out some way to improve his chances. Politics didn"t care about reality. If he was their disciple, then losing a duel against the heavenly sect member wasn"t just a personal grudge, but a faceslap to entire Draconic Sabre Sect!
Thinking about this and all the others pending matters, I couldn"t help but reiterate the common Polish saying that one of my online friends told me back on earth. Should I drop everything and cop myself up in the Bieszczads?
It took me a long while of boogling through the internet to figure out that it simply meant moving to a mountainous and desolate part of that friend country, that was known from offering the tranquillity of nature to every visitor.
Cultivating this thought in my mind, I started questioning everything that I have done so far in the city. I gained a rather powerful backer, that even if hesitantly, would still s.h.i.+eld me and Eve from Katenari"s ambitions. I made quite a lot of money and prepared a machine that would allow me to increase my points like a crazy. During all my endeavours, I managed to learn quite a bit about this world and the underlying principle of this entire place. But when sinking deeper into this topic, every profit that I made came with loss.
With all the money that I made, a lot of people were bound to notice me because of it. Creating the investment aimed at racking point would put me in a position that might threaten other major sects with the unexpected changes.
I could go about it on an on, but to put things in short terms, everything that I did either came with something that bound me deeper to the rules of this world or created even greater incentive to willingly let others bind me even tighter to their common sense.
Is that what a prodigy and G.o.d-chosen apostle should lead his life?
What was even the point in aiming to join the sect?
Right now, my only bottleneck could be shattered only by exping on the demonic beasts. Even if killing humans could prove to be far easier, I wasn"t ready to go as far just for the sake of growing stronger. Everything outside of my level could be gained with a little help from Eve. Why did I even bother staying in this city then?
Turning my head to the side, I glared at Eve"s head for long enough for her to notice that something was amiss. As she raised her cute ball of hairs and looked me deeply in the eyes with her starry skies, I couldn"t help but gulp my saliva down. Maybe it was because of her beauty that continued to dawn on me, maybe because of her cuteness or maybe just because what I was going to say, could potentially turn our lives around.
"Do you really think we should bother joining some stupid sect?"
