More than two hours passed.
Kafka and Silver Wolf lay sprawled across the sofa, their shirts hanging open, undershirts pushed up to reveal soft, pale skin. Their clothes were in disarray, and they were breathing lightly, looking utterly exhausted.
As they felt the clear improvement in their physical strength, their emotions became exceedingly complicated.
Only now did Nolan consider his warm up complete. He lifted Silver Wolf's fair, supple legs onto his shoulders and continued his intimate cultivation with her.
After a while, standing grew a little tiring. He took Silver Wolf's hand, pulled her up into his arms, then lay back into Kafka's embrace, letting her hold him.
Supporting herself on Nolan's shoulders, Silver Wolf bent her knees and straddled him, her snow white thighs and calves pressing rhythmically together.
Disgust showed on her face, yet when her gaze inadvertently met Kafka's from behind, she pressed her lips tightly together and lowered her head slightly, refusing to let even the faintest sound escape.
It was as though she felt a trace of humiliation.
Resting against Kafka's soft body, Nolan let her support him at her chest while she massaged him. At the same time, he watched Silver Wolf's humiliated expression with appreciation, feeling an inexplicable thrill.
More than ten minutes later, Silver Wolf suddenly tightened her grip on his shoulders, her lips pressed shut, before her entire body went limp and collapsed onto him.
Seeing this, Nolan gently stroked her back and hips, kissing her cheek for a while before turning over with her in his arms, letting her lie face down in Kafka's embrace.
Nolan then lifted Kafka's soft legs, her purple red stockings half slipped off, and resumed cultivating with her.
Before they realized it, night had fallen.
After calming down a little, Nolan brought the two of them back to the Wonderland Space and washed up at the hot spring bathhouse.
Although Kafka and Silver Wolf still did not have much affection for him, they had already cultivated together and could be considered his women. So he casually introduced them to the others.
More importantly, Nolan wanted them to live here, making it convenient for future cultivation at any time.
After dinner, he continued cultivating with Kafka and Silver Wolf until deep into the night. It was not until the early hours of the next morning, when their exhausted bodies had recovered somewhat, that he brought them back to Herta Space Station.
He had them return on their own to the Stellaron Hunters to begin carrying out their plan.
Before they left, Nolan also bestowed upon them other affection skills possessed by the girls, such as "Divine Maiden's Purity" and "Guardian."
This was to prevent them from being instantly subdued if their leader noticed something amiss, leaving them no time to react and notify him.
After seeing Kafka and Silver Wolf off, Nolan went to Herta's office to prepare for testing the Simulated Universe. Stelle had not woken up yet, so for the moment he was the only one there.
Upon entering Herta's office, he was surprised to find Ruan Mei there as well.
"Ms. Ruan Mei, long time no see," Nolan greeted her.
"Good morning, Mr. Nolan. Thank you for summoning Ms. Sserkal. She has given me many insights," Ruan Mei replied politely.
"It just happened to be a good opportunity," Nolan said with a shake of his head, then smiled. "Are you here today to observe the test with Herta?"
"Yes." Ruan Mei nodded lightly.
"It's getting late. Hurry up and start the test!" Herta frowned at their idle chatter and urged Nolan.
"Alright, no problem."
Nolan quickly began another journey of farming Adventure EXP. The Simulated Universe posed no difficulty for him.
Around noon, he completed yet another round of testing.
This test yielded roughly seventy to eighty million Adventure EXP. Adding that to what he had left over before, he now had a total of three hundred million Adventure EXP.
However, if he relied solely on farming Adventure EXP this way to level up, it would take twenty to thirty days just to gain a single level.
For Nolan, that was somewhat slow. After all, with "Accursed Moon Shall Rise," his cultivation progress increased by tens of thousands every second.
Over the past few days, his cultivation progress had been rising at about thirty thousand points per second. That meant he gained roughly 2.6 billion cultivation progress in a single day.
It had already been quite some time since he reached level one hundred seventy. It would not be long before he leveled up again.
Just as Nolan was about to leave with Stelle, who had slowly made her way over from behind, Ruan Mei followed them out as they reached the door.
"Mr. Nolan, please wait," Ruan Mei called out.
Nolan stopped and turned back, looking puzzled. "Ms. Ruan Mei, is there something you need?"
"May I trouble you for a small favor?" she asked.
"Oh? Of course."
Such a good opportunity to gain affection points was something he had no reason to refuse.
"Thank you. However, I would prefer that the specific details remain between the two of us. Miss Stelle, could you excuse us for a moment?" Ruan Mei nodded and glanced at Stelle.
"Alright then. I'll go wander around for a bit." Though reluctant, Stelle suppressed her curiosity and left first.
Nolan waved at her, then walked alongside Ruan Mei as he asked, "So, Ms. Ruan Mei, what is it that you need my help with?"
"Thanks to my research on the 'All-Devouring Narwhal,' I have successfully cultivated a rather promising result.
"However, I am still unsure of the extent of its capabilities. I would like you to test it. With your strength, there should be no problem."
Ruan Mei reached out and lightly touched Nolan's chin with her fingertips, as though sensing something, and said, "Compared to the All-Devouring Narwhal, you are even more worthy of study."
Nolan, slightly uncomfortable, gently brushed her hand aside. Hearing that she wanted to study him, he quickly changed the subject.
"Ms. Ruan Mei, perhaps you could continue explaining the matter you need help with."
He understood why Ruan Mei was interested in him. Most likely, it was because of the speed at which his strength had grown.
After all, when he had invited her to Teyvat for assistance previously, his life level had still been far from that of an Emanator. Yet upon meeting again, he had already become someone she could not fully comprehend.
It was only natural that this piqued her curiosity.
Still, he had no desire to be treated as a lab specimen. Of course, if there was an opportunity to gain affection points, he would not mind cooperating a little.
"Mm." Ruan Mei withdrew her hand and nodded gently. "That result is an Emanator of Propagation. According to my original calculations, what I cultivated would likely have been only a half-finished product.
"However, my research on the All-Devouring Narwhal brought me considerable insights. By applying those findings to the Emanator cultivation experiment, I was able to push the half-finished product significantly further."
Ruan Mei explained her experiment to Nolan.
In simple terms, she wanted him to test the lifeform she had cultivated, something that could be considered a 'pseudo-Emanator,' to see how much strength it could exert and how far it still was from a true Emanator.
