Note: This chapter has R-18 scenes in it, but still has lore and some important stuff. If you don't want to read the sex scene part, you can skip ahead. I have placed a warning before the scene and a message at the end to skip to.

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

Beneath the gloomy skies, a red sea stretched across one's view, causing the smell of blood to permeate through the air. 

Somewhere on the giant blood sea, a small, weirdly shaped, island stood. From afar, the lifeless island looked as if nothing could survive there, as it didn't possess anything on it, and seemed to only have weird extensions coming out of the ground. Upon closer inspection, however, one would notice that the extensions weren't what they seemed, that the ground wasn't actual ground, and that the island wasn't really an island. 

In reality, it was a gigantic pile of corpses of all types of creatures. From humans, orcs, elves, giants and even dragonoids; while the 'extensions' were actually their limbs and other body parts that were slightly sticking out of the pile. Meanwhile, each of those corpses had expressions of pain, anger, fear or hate on them; seemingly that they had all died miserably. 

"AHHHH!"

A blood-curling scream suddenly sounded from the corpse island, where a human male held onto his leg, which seemed to have been completely crushed, with a pained and frustrated expression. 

"Well that's no fun." The middle aged man glared at his blood-red eyed assailant, who didn't seem to mind the glare of hatred directed at him as he looked down at the middle aged man in disappointment. Something seemed to have just came to the red-eyed young man's mind, as he clapped his hand together while a faint smile emerged on his face "I know. Why don't we play a game." 

The middle aged man ignored the young man's crazy talk as a dagger suddenly appeared in his right hand while he used his other, mostly intact, leg to propel himself towards the young man. 

"The game is called-" The young man continued casually with a smile on his face as he grabbed the middle aged man's arm that was about to stab him with a dagger and exerted some strength into it "-"Guess how many of your bones are broken".

CRUNCH!

"AHHH!" Another scream echoed across the seemingly endless sea of blood that surrounded the corpse island. 

"⎎☌" A faint, unrecognizable sound suddenly appeared from no particular direction and echoed, but neither the middle aged man nor the red-eyed young man he was glaring at, who simply casually smiled, seemed to have noticed it. 

"I feel like the name is pretty self-explanatory, but in case you're too stupid to understand, you're supposed to guess how many of your bones are broken. If you guess correctly, you win and get to die. If you guess incorrectly, though, I break a few more of your bones; and if all of them are broken before you guess correctly, then, you lose." The red-eyed young man patiently explained, his voice calm and casual as if he was talking about a little game to pass the time. "Annnd begin."

"⟒⋏☌"

The middle aged man didn't respond and just glared at the red-eyed psycho while trying to stabilize his breathing, causing the young man to scratch the back of his head. 

"You know, simply breathing isn't really an answer. Perhaps you really are too stupid for this game.

"GO TO HELL!" Yelling out a curse, the middle aged man tried standing on his functioning leg once again, however...

"Incorrect."

"⎎⟒☌"

CRUNCH!

A sickening crunch, followed by another scream from the middle aged man covered up the faint noise, as the man fell back down with both of his legs now completely crushed after the young man stepped on the one he had tried to stand on with his army boots. 

"You seem to really be struggling, so I'll give you a little hint. The number of your broken bones has increased by three." The red-eyed young man gave a warm smile, as if proud of his 'generosity' to help this loser out.

"Just kill me already." The middle aged man seemed to have given up as he begged while no longer trying to put up any resistance. 

"en" 

The red-eyed young man's ears twitched as if he had heard something, but after taking a glance around and not discovering anything, he turned back to the man lying on the floor with a smile. 

"Don't worry, all you have to do is answer correctly, and your wish shall be granted.

Despair filled the middle aged man's eyes as he stared at the red-eyed young man with hatred and hopelessness. It seemed this psycho really wanted to torture him to death. Looking up, in the eyes of the middle aged man, what stood before him was not a human, but a grinning devil with eyes as red as blood. Moreover, the middle aged man didn't think this was a misconception. 

"ng"

Narrowing his eyes slightly after noticing the faint noise once again, the young man turned to look around "Hey, did you hear that?" Despite carefully scanning across the corpse island and sea of blood, the young man was unable to discover anything, so he asked the middle aged man while continuing to watch for any changes. 

Meanwhile, a glimmer of hope appeared in the middle aged man's eyes when he saw the red-eyed young man take his attention off of him. Reaching out for his fallen dagger, the middle aged man pushed himself off the ground with the last of his strength as he propelled himself at the red-eyed young man and stabbed at him in a last ditch attempt. 

Not even bothering to glance at the middle aged man, the young man simply extended a hand in the desperate man's direction. 

In the next moment, a gigantic, pitch-black demonic claw appeared out of thin air and clenched the man, instantly bringing an end to his last ditch attack. Squeezing slightly, the middle aged man's scream of terror was cut short as he was completely crushed, turning into a pile of meat with his blood gushing out as he became another addition to the corpse island after the demonic claw disappeared and falling down. 

Without paying any attention the middle aged man's horrific death, the red-eyed young man continued looking everywhere for the source of the weird noise. 

"fng!" 

As the noise sounded once again, the young man seemed to have noticed something as he looked down at the sea of blood, as if the sound had originated from below. 

Looking down at the giant pool of blood, the young man suddenly noticed his reflection, and a hint of surprise and confusion appeared in his bloodthirsty eyes. Blinking, the young man's blood-red eyes suddenly turned pitch-black. 

"Wait, how did I get here?"

"FENG!"

Feng suddenly opened his eyes and saw a worried Violet looking up at him from his chest. 

"Good morning. How are you feeling?" Stretching casually, Feng asked with a yawn. 

"I'm fine, but I should be the one asking you that. Are you okay?" Violet asked in concern as she moved off from Feng's chest and attempted to sit up straight. From Feng's rapid heartbeat and the expression he had on his sleeping face, she guessed that he probably wasn't having any nice dreams.

Moreover, there was also that aura around him while he was sleeping...

"Pretty good. Could have slept a bit better, but overall, I'm feeling great." Feng answered with a calm smile, pretending like the horrific memories of that Mysterious Space weren't coming back to him, before getting up and suggesting "Anyway, we should probably take a bath." 

After their session, Violet's bed and some parts of her room were a mess, with the bed sheets being stained with multiple kinds of fluids. Meanwhile the two of them were not much better with dried up sweat and each others fluids on them, so it was probably for the best if they cleaned themselves up. 

Violet looked around the room and at her cum stained self before nodding and trying to get up in order to follow after Feng. But the moment she did, her expression changed. 

"Umm... Big Brother Feng."

"Hm?" Feng turned around and gave Violet a look of confusion upon noticing that she was still sitting in the same spot. 

Receiving Feng's questioning gaze, an embarrassed smile appeared on Violet's face "I can't move my legs." 

After receiving Feng's rough pounding, Violet's entire lower half was currently completely numb, and whenever she attempted to move, an intense pain assaulted her crotch area, making her suck in a sharp breath. 

A realization came to Feng when he saw Violet's current condition. Due to Violet finally releasing her pent up urges, her sex drive had been incredibly high, resulting in Feng being rough on her the entire time during the non-stop sex until Violet finally passed out. 

Naturally, with Violet being a virgin and with how intense the entire experience was, her body was bound to receive some damage. 

In reality, Violet's lower body and insides had been in great pain ever since she woke up, but with how used to pain she was after everything she had gone through and the things she had to endure on a daily basis in the Greater World, Violet had become one tough cookie and the pain only proved to be a slight inconvenience. 

However, the pain became an entirely different thing when she tried to move, and although it wasn't too much of a problem for her to endure it, with how numb the rest of her body was, walking would prove to be difficult and uncomfortable. 

Feng sighed before walking over to the bed and picking Violet up in a princess carry, who beamed at him with a bright smile upon being picked up. Afterwards, Feng headed into the bathroom. 

As Zero Wing's current Workshop was only an office floor, there weren't many rooms for people to stay at in it, and even less with bathrooms in them; Violet's being one of the only few ones with a bathroom. 

Feng and Violet, who had already been naked, currently sat in the bathtub with Violet's back lying on top of Feng's chest. The two of them enjoyed the hot water with their eyes closed while also enjoying the warmth of each others bodies. 

Soon, however, Feng's little brother, which had been quietly sleeping beneath Violet, awakened and rose his head between Violet's legs upon Feng enjoying the soft and smooth skin of the lady lying on top of him.

Violet opened her eyes as she felt something poking her, smiles appearing in them upon seeing Feng's hardened rod which was now slightly rising out of the water. She bit her lower lip with a yearning look on her face, but sighed a moment later upon remembering that her body needed to recover first before she could stuff that meat pole deep inside of her again. 

A moment later, however, her lips curled up into a mischievous smile as she slightly glanced back at Feng, who was still enjoying the warm bath, before moving her hand towards the awakened dragon which stood tall and wrapped her fingers around its long shaft. 

(R-18 scene incoming. Skip ahead to the bolded text if you don't wanna read it)

Feeling Violet grabbing his member, Feng opened his eyes and gazed at the girl stroking his manhood. 

"It's such a shame we can't go for another round." Violet spoke with regret as she stroked and took the chance to properly admire the full size of Feng's cock, which she didn't have the chance to do previously. 

After being stroked by Violet's soft and gentle hands for a bit, Feng's dick soon grew fully erect under her caresses, causing Violet's smile to grow even brighter. Following which Violet closed her legs, causing Feng's rod to be sandwiched between her tender thighs, which stared moving up and down slightly; sending jolts of pleasure through Feng's body. 

"I really want to feel Big Brother Feng's big cock deep inside of me and poking my deepest parts, but unfortunately, we can't do that now because you were too rough on my little self." Lamenting the current situation, Violet increased the pace at which her thighs moved and rubbed against Feng's dick while using her hands to stroke the shaft and tip which were unable to be completely trapped by her thighs and were sticking out; causing Feng to lean back against the tub and relish in the softness of Violet's hands and her thighjob. 

Narrowing her eyes slightly upon seeing Feng give out a sigh of satisfaction and enjoying her thighs, Violet increased the pace once more before saying "However, I know Big Brother Feng is suffering as well, so I hope I can alleviate some of your stress like this. Though, at Big Brother Feng's standard, your requirement for pleasure must be pretty high, so you definitely won't be satisfied with just this, right?" A sly smile appeared on Violet's face as her pace slowed. 

Violet knew that, with Feng's physique, that nap had been enough for him to recover quite a bit from their previous intense session, and she could feel that he wanted to fuck her from the moment they entered the bathroom. But considering the damage her body had sustained after the previous intense love making session, Violet knew that Feng would hold himself back until her body fully recovered, and wouldn't even initiate anything sexual; not wanting to arouse her while she isn't able to do much.

So, Violet decided to take the initiative and tease Feng for a bit as a small punishment for leaving her hanging for so many years, before making him cum using her thighs; thinking that, with Feng's personality, he wouldn't let himself finish so easily and cum from just a thighjob from her. 

However, Violet underestimated Feng's shamelessness. 

A smile spread across Feng's face as he realized what Violet was trying "Hm, what do you mean?" Sitting back up, Feng hugged Violet from behind and whispered in her ear "Little girl, you underestimate your beauty. Let alone something like this..." Pausing, Feng started moving his waist and thrusting up, causing his dick to push through Violet's thighs and rub against her pussy lips while using his hands to roam around Violet's petite body "I could cum just by thinking of you." 

Naturally, since Violet had taken the initiative, Feng wouldn't suppress himself and would fully enjoy the soft body before him. Of course, he also couldn't be the only one feeling good. 

Violet became slightly surprised by Feng actually saying such a thing and using her thighs to pleasure himself, but she soon felt his hands caressing her body, with one stopping to play with one of her nipples while the other one went down to rub her clit, and along with Feng's rod rubbing against her entrance, causing faint pain to pass through her body. 

But as Feng kept stimulating her sensitive areas, Violet's arousal grew, making the pain quickly turn into pleasure. As only a few hours had passed since the intense pounding she received, Violet's entire body was still sensitive, and with Feng pleasuring her like this, moans soon started escaping her lips, as Violet leaned her head back and placed it onto Feng's shoulder while he kissed her snowy-white neck. 

Meanwhile, Feng was enjoying the soft flesh of Violet's thighs as he kept thrusting up and continuously increasing the pace while rubbing against her lower lips and playing with Violet's nipple and her protruding clit; all the while kissing and sucking along her neck, which he had previously discovered was Violet's sensitive area, leaving hickies and listening to her melodious moans of pleasure. 

Despite Feng's dick not entering inside of her at all and only rubbing against the entrance, for some reason, Violet soon found herself reaching her limit. 

"AHHH♡!" 

Pushing her back even more against Feng's chest, Violet's waist slightly rose as her juices flew out and she started squirting. Feng, too, had enjoyed Violet's soft flesh for a while and was getting close to finishing, as he thrusted up one final time, with the top part of his rod mostly out of the thigh sandwich, spraying his seeds all over Violet's thighs, waist, stomach and chest; with a few drops even reaching her face. 

Thankfully, Feng had pulled back his hands when he felt that he was about to cum, and with Violet's body serving as a meat shield, none of it got on him. 

Violet rested on top of Feng, who had mostly submerged their bodies in the hot water so that the fluids would wash off their bodies since he wasn't planning to touch the cum on top of Violet in order to clean it up, and breathed heavily after orgasming. 

A few moments later, though, Violet's eyes opened, revealing a deep lust in them. Currently, she felt like her entire body was on fire, and the itching inside of her returned, demanding something enter and mess up her insides. 

Turning to Feng with rugged breaths, Violet gazed at him with pure desire while her hips wiggled in anticipation and brushed up against Feng's cock, which was still hard even after cumming. 

Receiving Violet's pleading and desperate look, Feng was tempted into taking this girl once more and satisfy their lust, but stopped those thoughts upon remembering that Violet's body might not be able to take another pounding from him without being damaged even more; especially if he was as rough as last time. 

However, an alternative suddenly came to Feng, as he picked Violet up and spun her around, having her cute little ass above his face while she faced his hardened meat pole. 

Going in, Feng started licking and tasting Violet's lower lips and some of her juices that were still left at the entrance, his tongue slipping inside a moment later. Violet's eyes widened upon feeling the slippery elastic object enter her secret cave and rub against her walls, but immediately started enjoying it as Feng's tongue reached her weak spots and started pleasuring them. 

As Violet's eyes started spinning from the pleasure and the water's heat while soft moans left her mouth from Feng eating her out, a hard object suddenly struck her face with a bit of force, forcing Violet to focus her gaze on the pulsating rod in front of her that demanded her attention and care. 

Sticking her small tongue out, Violet started licking the shaft of Feng's dick, before moving upwards and putting the tip in her small mouth; causing Feng's entire body to twitch and pause his tongue-exploration to the sudden warmness of Violet's moist mouth, but continued tasting Violet's insides even more intensely in the next moment. 

Violet kept coating Feng's rod in her saliva with her tongue and mouth for a bit longer before swallowing half of its entire length in one go. Feng's eyes widened as he felt his member suddenly enter Violet's small mouth, causing his tongue to straighten and touch Violet's deeper parts, which resulted in her pausing her sucking as well. 

However, both of them quickly recovered and continued pleasuring each other, with Violet putting more of Feng's cock into her mouth and licking its long shaft with her tongue, while Feng continued going deeper in Violet with his tongue and stimulating her weak spots while also using one of his hands to play with her clit. 

The bathroom became filled with the wet sounds of slurping, water slightly splashing and falling out of the bathtub, as well as the muffled noises of pleasure coming from Feng and Violet that were suppressed by each others private parts. 

As Violet swallowed more and more of his rod, Feng found it difficult to hold on with the feeling of his member getting squished by Violet's tight throat, so he could only hasten the pace at which he ate her out and try to make her cum as soon as possible while rubbing her clit even more intensely. 

Though, Violet wasn't having it easy either with Feng expertly pleasuring all of her weak spots with his tongue and her clit being played with so hard it felt like it was about to be torn off. If not for the giant meat pole inside of her mouth, Violet would have already been moaning her lungs out. 

When Feng felt that he had reached his limit, he placed a hand on Violet's little ass and pushed down as hard as he could while stretching his tongue out to the limit and hitting Violet's deepest parts; while also moving one of his legs to the back of Violet's head and pressing it down, making Violet swallow his entire cock and occupying a large part of her throat with his seeds shooting directly inside of her. 

Violet was already finding it hard to breath before while only most of Feng's dick was in her mouth and throat, but now with the entire length of Feng's giant member stuffed down her throat, she felt herself starting to suffocate; however, for some reason, being used in such a manner by Feng gave her even more pleasure. With the lack of air along with the bath's heat, Violet's entire head started spinning; and with Feng suddenly reaching her deepest parts with his tongue, all of Violet's resistance disappeared. 

Feng swallowed the juices that came came out of Violet's pussy and enjoyed their taste, with the ones he wasn't able to drenching his face. 

As he enjoyed the feeling of cumming down Violet's tight throat and its flesh still surrounding his dick, Feng suddenly felt Violet tapping his leg that was still on top of her head with a bit of desperation, and he remembered that she most likely wasn't able to breath with his rod still in her mouth. 

Moving away his leg, Violet immediately pulled her head back and started breathing heavily after Feng's cock exited her mouth. 

On top of being lightheaded, Violet felt her legs becoming weak while the pain from before that was being suppressed by her arousal started flaring back up. But Violet was still enjoying the aftermath of her climax too much to care about the pain as she breathed heavily with her tongue sticking out and a bit of white stuff dripping from her chin. 

(End of R-18 scene) 

After recovering from their stupor, Feng and Violet properly cleaned themselves this time while chatting about the recent events and Violet telling Feng about the True Saint's Legacy Quest for the Tier 1 promotion and the stuff in it. Violet also told him that she had also found a Unique Epic Set Equipment for the True Saint Class in a similar manner to Feng and was coming close to completing it. 

As they talked, though, Feng enjoyed the touch of her soft and smooth skin a bit too much and couldn't resist himself from using Violet's bottom cheeks to slide his rod in between and blow a load on Violet's back. But nothing resulted after that and they truly finished cleaning up before drying themselves and leaving the bathroom. 

Feng carried Violet out and placed her on the bed so that they could dress themselves. As they put their clothes on, Violet lamented the loss of her shorts which Feng had ripped off her and tore apart in a hurry. 

When they were dressed, Feng passed Violet the S-rank Nutrient Fluid which she immediately drank in order to recover from the damage her intense exercises had caused to her body, as well as the damage the rough pounding she received caused her. 

As she felt her cells rapidly recovering and the damage along with the pain in her crotch quickly disappearing, Violet turned to Feng with a lustful look while biting her lower lip. 

"No. Your body needs to properly recover first." Feng sent a light chop to Violet's head, knowing this horny little shit was about to suggest having sex again. 

Although the S-rank Nutrient Fluid helped recover a large amount of the damage Violet's lower body and insides had sustained, it was only a bit on the surface level and it needed time to properly heal. 

Otherwise, if they were to suddenly do it again right after it had repaired, the damage would immediately return and might even be worse this time, in which case the S-rank nutrient Fluid would have gone to waste; if they ignored the other benefits it provided to the rest of Violet's body. Thus, Feng had decided that he had to stop Violet before she started stripping. 

Violet pouted and looked pleadingly at Feng while covering her head on the place he had chopped her, but sighed upon seeing the resolute look on his face; knowing full well it was impossible for her to change his mind once he had made it up. 

"I know. I just wanted to spend some more time with Big Brother Feng. It's not really fair. Not only does Fire get all the sex she wants, she also gets to live with Big Brother Feng, while I have to stay here." Violet sulked, feeling unhappy about the current situation. That short playing in the bathroom wasn't nearly enough to satisfy her after her sex drive had been activated for the first time. 

"You already know it's impossible for you to stay with me for now. The neighbors have already been a pain in the ass with their constant complaints. If I were to bring in another girl, it would raise even more problems. Not to mention what would happen if they see you staying with Fire and me while two different types of moans came out daily. It wouldn't take much to put two and two together, at which point the police would be knocking on our door." Feng shook his head to Violet's complaint. 

As Fire and him couldn't always match the time they were logged out due to the things they had to do in God's Domain, they would have sex whenever they felt like it and whenever an opportunity presented itself; which essentially meant whenever they could. 

Because of this, their love making sounds could be heard through out any random time of the day, and with them not bothering to keep it down at all as they couldn't care less about the peasants who lived around them, it greatly irked some of their neighbors, who then came knocking on their door to complain and tell them to quiet down. But they instantly shut their mouths after Feng slapped them with a few thousand Credits, and they probably even treated Fire's moans like lullabies by now. 

Though, it would be another matter if Violet were to suddenly appear and live in his apartment while another type of moans were to start coming out of it, some questions would start to rise in the neighbors' minds, and those that were curious enough might see Violet whenever she came out of the apartment. 

With Violet obviously being only around 16 or 17, they would quickly connect the dots, and then call the police on Feng. Even though Violet was technically more than old enough, how was he supposed to explain that?

Actually, my girlfriend has memories from ten years in the future and is an adult with her mental age, so there is technically no problem, Your Honor. 

Feng doubted that such an explanation would work, even if it was the truth. 

Although Feng could also simply murder anyone who came and attempted to stop him from doing whatever he wants, or try to use his connections to deal with it, Feng didn't want any unnecessary problems to crop up with his current strength and while he wasn't strong enough to rule the world. 

"We'll just have to endure for a bit until we get the Greenwater Villa from the Big Dipper Training Center. At that point, there won't be anyone to bother us. In the meantime, I'll make sure to visit you after you have recovered enough to satisfy your urges; and if you're really too eager and can't wait, you can use this." Feng comforted Violet while passing her a spare key to his apartment that he had prepared before coming here. 

Violet's expression immediately brightened after seeing the key and guessing what it was for. As Feng helped her to the Virtual Gaming Cabin, Violet placed a deep kiss on his lips which lasted for a couple of seconds before they finally separated with a string of saliva forming between their mouths. 

After placing Violet in the Virtual Gaming Cabin and she logged in, Feng left her room and had Blackie bring him a few more people to return memories to. When he reached his limit and wasn't able to return any more, Feng said bye to Blackie and left the Workshop. 

By the time Feng returned to his apartment, it was already 8PM and the sky had turned dark. 

As he entered, Feng saw Fire eating her dinner in silence while seemingly in deep thought. When she noticed Feng arrive, a bright smile instantly appeared on Fire's face as she got up to welcome him. 

"Welcome back. I'll warm up dinner for you." Getting up, Fire went to the kitchen and grabbed one of the instant meals they had previously bought to prepare it for Feng. As she placed the meal in the microwave, since she'll definitely end up somehow burning it if she tried using an oven, Fire felt herself being embraced from behind while a pair of hands started groping her breasts. 

"You seem in a bad mood." Feng commented as he massaged Fire's voluptuous mounds. 

"You think so?" Fire slightly turned to Feng while moving her little nose to his neck and smelling the fragrance coming off him, a small smile appearing on her face a moment later "I have to admit that I'm not in the best mood after you came back home with another woman's scent on you, but I suppose that's life now." 

Naturally, Fire knew full well Feng was visiting Violet after she had logged out and saw that he wasn't there anymore, but she could only shake her head and sigh. Although she already knew this was bound to happen eventually and that it was unavoidable, Fire still couldn't help her mixed feelings when she saw Feng come back and have Violet's smell on him. 

Seeing Fire smile like that, Feng knew that although she wasn't particularly happy about the arrangement, as no woman normally would be with having to share her man, she was still fine with it. 

In reality, Fire didn't mind all that much if she had to share Feng with other women as long as she could be with him, and it was only the thought of losing the current honeymoon like lifestyle she had been having with Feng for these past few days that made her feel slightly dispirited; especially when he won't have as much time for her after multiple other women join in on their relationship. 

However those thoughts disappeared from Fire's mind as Feng lowered his head and placed a kiss on her lips with his tongue immediately entering her mouth and coiling around hers. As Fire completely turned towards Feng and returned the kiss, Feng's arms went beneath Fire's legs and lifted her on top of the kitchen counter. 

(Sex scene up ahead. Skip to the bolded text if you don't wanna read it)

Although Feng had a bit of fun with Violet in the bathroom, it was far from enough to completely satisfy him. 

The only reason he didn't immediately go down on Violet and mess up her insides to clench his building up lust was because he knew it would damage Violet's body even further, which he didn't want to do, while Feng also knew that he had an outlet waiting for him back home. 

Now, he could finally properly enjoy himself without worrying that he might hurt Fire; as Feng knew that her pussy can take a good beating from his cock. 

As their clothes came off, the passion in their kiss also grew while Feng kept groping and playing with Fire's elastic melons, where as Fire's hands were roaming all over his muscular back as her desires became unleashed. 

The moment all of their clothes were gone, Feng aimed his member at Fire's entrance and pushed it inside, almost burying the entire rod inside of Fire in one go. 

"Ahhh♡!~"

A loud moan escaped Fire at the sudden deep penetration, not expecting Feng to immediately go so deep and poke her deepest parts. Not that she was really complaining, though. 

As Feng started pounding her and his dick stretched apart her walls while he played with her breasts and nipples, Fire's moans grew louder and louder with each thrust. 

She could only hold onto him in a tight hug and endure Feng's wild pounding. Feng's arms reached out to Fire's willowy waist and pulled her in even closer, burying the entire length of his dick inside of her and entering the depths of Fire's pussy. 

Fire's moans grew even more ecstatic as incredible pleasure flooded her senses brought by Feng's massive cock slamming against her deepest parts and forcibly pushing open an entrance before going inside, causing Fire to bury her face in Feng's shoulder while tightening her hug and walls even more. 

However, as Fire was enjoying the pounding, through a gap between her eye lids that were mostly shut due to her not being able to endure so much pleasure, Fire caught sight of some kind of mark on Feng's shoulder. Opening her eyes and looking carefully, Fire discovered a faint bite mark caused by a small row of teeth that had not yet completely recovered; and since she had never bitten Feng in that place, Fire quickly guessed from who they came from. 

Narrowing her eyes, a slight competitive look appeared in them, before Fire moved her head to Feng's other shoulder and bit down. 

"Ugh!" 

Feng paused mid thrust as his eyes widened slightly while a groan of both pain and pleasure came out of his mouth. He temporarily wondered whether Fire had truly just bitten him, but the sting of pain from his shoulder quickly told him it was true; though, Feng wasn't completely surprised that Fire had bitten him, as it wouldn't be the first time while he sometimes did it as well; only, she had never bitten down this hard. 

Unlike Violet who just put a bit of pressure with her teeth and practically only nibbled on him, although Fire's bite wasn't strong enough to pierce far into his skin and draw blood, he could still feel some pain as well each of Fire's teeth against his skin. 

In the next moment, though, Feng went back to pumping with even greater intensity now as he pushed Fire down onto the counter and pressed his body on top of her while his rod continued piercing in the depths of her insides. 

Nevertheless, Fire continued holding onto him with her legs around his waist, arms around his neck and teeth still lodged into his shoulder as she even started nibbling and licking the teeth marks; which, for some reason, stimulated Feng even more to keep drilling deeper inside of her. 

Though, a few minutes later, Fire was forced to let go as the pleasure became too hard to bare while she wasn't able to help but moan to Feng's thrusts. Soon after, Fire let out a final moan as her walls tightened with her juices rushing out. 

Feeling Fire's already tight insides become even tighter, Feng buried his dick all the way inside of her while arching his back and shooting his seeds deep inside of Fire; coloring her insides white. 

(End of sex scene) 

The two of them had mostly satisfied their lust after the quick round and went into the bathroom to clean up, which naturally resulted in them doing it again in there; but they attempted to keep it to a minimum and soon finished cleaning themselves from each others fluids. 

Afterwards, Feng and Fire reheated their dinners which had already long grown cold while the two of them were busy making love. Chatting while eating, Feng also learned about Fire's discoveries in the Atrocity Legacy's Class Change Quest and the things she had came across. 

Through the discussion, Feng realized that he had gravely underestimated the Atrocity Legacy and its difficulty, as it proved to be far from what he had initially expected. 

With Fire's current combat standards and equipment, she would easily pass through even the Blade Saint Legacy's Class Change Quest, with only the freezing pool giving her some trouble; yet, she was currently having a bit of difficulty in the Atrocity Legacy's Class Change Quest and had to be careful with each move she made. 

Though, she had already managed to find the way to pass the Class Change Quest and just needed to complete it; and it wasn't like the difficulty was without rewards, as Fire had managed to obtain the Atrocity Race's Bloodline.

Although it was only a Basic Bloodline at the moment, it could be upgraded later on with her tier and could possibly even become a Peak Bloodline. 

After Feng and Fire finished eating dinner, they both downed an A-rank Nutrient Fluid, and Feng immediately experienced the Nutrient Fluid's effects as he felt the two bite marks on his shoulders and scratch marks on his back left behind by both girls rapidly recovering and disappearing within a few seconds, before the two of them entered their respective Virtual Reality Cabins and logged into God's Domain.

White River City had become extraordinarily lively. Zero Wing had finally started its recruitment.

The independent players who had waited eagerly for this moment were incomparably excited.

As everyone arrived at Zero Wing's recruitment location, anticipation overwhelmed them.

The Purple Sun Mansion, the real estate that occupied the largest land-mass and best location in White River City, was actually Zero Wing's Guild Residence.

"I'm not seeing things, right? Isn't this the Purple Sun Mansion? Zero Wing isn't even giving the other Guilds a chance!"

"Damn! Zero Wing's Guild Hall is huge! It won't have any problems holding several thousand players at a single time!"

"That's nothing. I have a brother in Zero Wing. I hear that it's even more amazing inside. Aside from having a high-class bar, many NPCs appear every day to issue Guild Quests. The number and variety of Guild Quests they get far surpass those available at the Adventurer's Association. Not only can members of Zero Wing obtain a lot more EXP, but the item rewards they can get from the quests are also much more abundant. Some quests even reward Secret-Silver items. Also, if members rest inside the Guild Hall, they can accumulate a Double EXP buff. There are private rooms available for rent, too."

For a time, everyone began forming a long queue outside Zero Wing's Guild Residence, enthusiastically applying to Zero Wing. From a glance, the number of players in line had already exceeded 30,000.

The many benefits such as high-level quests, Double EXP buff, private rooms and more had sent all the independent players into a frenzy.

Meanwhile, when news of Zero Wing's Guild Residence spread, the various Guilds throughout Star-Moon Kingdom tumbling into a turmoil.

Originally, these Guilds didn't think much of a Guild Residence.

However, they never expected a Guild Residence to provide such significant benefits. All this time, they regarded a Guild Residence as only a symbol of a Guild's establishment, a place where Guild members could gather and chat. Now that they realized what a Guild Residence could do, the upper echelons of these Guilds felt a chill crawl down their spines.

A Guild Residence was simply too terrifying. Not only could it increase the leveling speed of Guild members, but it could also provide a source of Coins for the Guild. Now that Zero Wing possessed its own Guild Residence, the Guild would no longer have to purchase Coins using Credits or form teams to specifically farm Coins. The Guild Residence also had other aspects that could allow a Guild to develop quickly. How could Guilds like theirs that did not possess a Guild Residence compete with Zero Wing now?

At this time, the first-rate Guilds who were not originally concerned with Zero Wing had to reevaluate their opinions.

"Young Master Feng, now that Zero Wing has revealed their Guild Residence, everyone in Star-Moon Kingdom has shifted their attention back to them. Overwhelming Smile's achievement can no longer hamper Zero Wing's recruitment. Should we focus on solidifying the Branch Guild in White River City?"

"I have really underestimated Black Flame. However, don't think that I am out of options," Feng Xuanyang sneered. "Since you dare challenge me, you will only have one ending. Tell Overwhelming Smile this: don't worry about spending money; just steal as many players from Zero Wing as possible. I want to see just how a Guild without many members can develop."

Shortly after Feng Xuanyang gave his command, Overwhelming Smile took action.

Overwhelming Smile shocked the various Guilds in White River City.

"Overwhelming Smile has gone insane!" Snow Goose shouted when she read the latest information on Overwhelming Smile.

In order to attract independent players, Overwhelming Smile had increased the benefits it offered once again. At this moment, it offered four times what Dark Star had in the past. Normal members alone would be treated far better than even elite players of other Guilds. The benefits offered to Overwhelming Smile's elite members was beyond comparison.

Overwhelming Smile even began to publicly poach Zero Wing's normal members, promising them threefold what the other Guild members received if they joined the Guild.

Originally, Overwhelming Smile's increase in the benefits was already shocking. Now, that they took it a step further and offered another threefold raise, how could the members of Zero Wing not be tempted? In fact, some members already considered withdrawing from Zero Wing and defecting to Overwhelming Smile.

"Is Overwhelming Smile planning to destroy us with money?" Aqua Rose smiled bitterly, her expression turning grim.

This move was truly vicious.

Zero Wing had only established recently. Its funding had never been abundant. They had no chance against the large funding Overwhelming Smile possessed.

As soon as he logged into God's Domain, Feng soon left the Starstreak Trading Firm and headed towards White River City's Library. 

Due to his basic walking speed being many times faster than a horse carriage, Feng didn't bother hitching a ride and simply took a stroll to the Library, which from an outsider's perspective looked like only a shadow had passed by them; but neither the players nor the NPCs noticed Feng as he casually concealed his presence. 

None of the guards bothered to stop Feng from walking into the Library, and the two Level 180 Tier 2 White Robe Knights guarding Sharlyn's room seemed to have already been informed of his arrival as they respectfully stood aside and opened the door for him. 

Sharlyn, who sat beside a table reading a book, looked at Feng, casually stating, "You're here." A moment later, however, a faint smile appeared on her face as she gave Feng a careful look "And it seems like you've succeeded with your Tier 1 Promotion."

After recovering for a bit, on the surface, it appeared as if Sharlyn was the same as before she had given him her Full Blessing with her power intact. However, if someone were to properly sense her current aura, it would be pretty obvious it was nothing but a cover, and that her true power had been greatly weakened. 

Though, Feng also sensed that Sharlyn's current condition was much better than when she had just given away her Full Blessing, so it would seem the Blessing's Relief had some other effects and benefits other than the immediate ones. 

"Yep. You seem to have recovered a bit as well." Feng commented as he pulled up a chair next to Sharlyn's table and sat down. 

"Hardly," Sharlyn sighed upon being reminded of her current state. Even when she had just reincarnated into her current body, she had never felt so powerless and weak, even though her current strength is much greater than at the time. 

It was this feeling of constantly being drained of energy, like she was missing a part of herself, which was a feeling Sharlyn had never felt before, that deeply disturbed her "Anyway, I doubt you came just to check up on me. So what brings you to here? I doubt I could be of much help to you in my current condition." Shaking off the thought, Sharlyn looked towards Feng and asked. 

"Oh, why do you think that? Couldn't have I just visited you because I was concerned about your well being? Do you think so little of me?" Feng feigned a shocked and hurt look as if Sharlyn's words had saddened him. 

"You don't strike me as the type of person who would take the time out of their day to simply do something not worth the effort." Sharlyn didn't pay any attention to Feng's act as she continued reading her book. 

"Well, you got me. I did come here because I had something to ask you." Feng returned his casual expression as he took out the Book of Creation and placed it on the table "Recognize this?" 

Sharlyn casually glanced at the book, but the moment she identified it, her eyes widened as she grabbed the Book of Creation and inspected it. 

"Why would it be here." As she wondered out in shock, Sharlyn seemed to notice something, causing her expression to turn a bit strange "It seems my senses have been greatly dulled as well. It actually took me so long to notice it was only a Replica of my own creation." 

Feng raised an eyebrow upon hearing Sharlyn's muttering, not expecting that Sharlyn would be weakened to such an extent even in this aspect. It would seem the price a God had to pay to give out a Full Blessing was much greater than what he originally thought. 

A moment later, though, Feng switched his attention to what he came here for and asked the thing that had him curious ever since he found this Replica of the Book of Creation "So, why is there a Replica of the Book of Creation in this God's Domain, and how come you never told me about it?" 

"I have no idea. There should be no Replicas of the Book of Creation out there at all, as I had hidden the original before anyone could copy it, so it makes no sense for one to exist, let alone appear in this God's Domain. I had probably never told you about it in that timeline because I never actually knew there was a Replica here." Sharlyn explained as she looked at the Book of Creation's Replica on the table in confusion "Wait, how did you manage to get it? And how come you never obtained it in your previous life?" 

"Ah, that. I simply found some of the fragments in the form of books for some of the Lifestyle Classes, and they gathered to form this thing. As for why I never managed to get it in my previous life, don't worry about it, it's not important anymore." Feng passed it off casually while feeling extremely pissed deep inside. 

He currently felt like going back in time and beating the shit out of Arcus Maddox across every timeline, before giving his past self a couple of tight slaps for being such a noob and failing to kill that little shit when he first had the chance and losing the opportunity to get the Book of Creation; which would have been of immense help to him. 

"Anyway, can you fix this thing? It seems to be missing some fragments, and even if it's only a Replica, it should still be of a high rank and have some power once fully repaired, right?" Putting away such murderous thoughts, Feng focused on what's in front of him and inquired. 

After carefully looking through the Book of Creation, Sharlyn nodded "From what I can tell, the Replica is still missing a large part of it, and it should be possible to repair it." Suddenly realizing something, Sharlyn sighed once more and continued "If I was still at full power, I could have simply repaired it myself, but now..." Sharlyn shook her head "The only way for you to repair it further is to find the rest of its pieces." 

"I thought as much." Although Feng had already expected such a result, he was still disappointed when he heard it from Sharlyn. 

In reality, Feng knew the way to repair the Book of Creation's Replica was to find the rest of the books for the various Lifestyle Classes, like the Book of Forging, Record of Potions and Book of Engineering; but he had still hoped Sharlyn would know something about it which would help him or have a method to immediately or quickly repair it. 

Afterwards, Feng chatted with Sharlyn for a bit before leaving the Library and taking out a Seven Luminaries[1] Gemstone. 

Feng had some information on how he could obtain more fragments of the Book of Creation. From his previous life, Feng knew of a definitive way to get one fragment as well as a clue for another; while he had gained another clue in this life from one of the items he found in the Holy Cavers' treasury. 

The item was a notebook belonging to the Chief of the Holy Cavers, who was a Holy Miner, which recorded some of his past journeys and experiences. On one of the pages which Feng had skimmed through, the Holy Cavers' Chief talked about his visit to another Holy Miner, and after ignoring all the useless and pointless details, the one thing that intrigued Feng was when the Chief described one of the other Holy Miner's prized possessions, which was a book with a design very similar to the other three books Feng had found; except it had a pickaxe on its cover. 

From its description, Feng guessed it was the Book of Mining, and the reason that Holy Miner managed to become a Holy Miner. 

However, as Feng had no idea where that Holy Miner or any of his things are at the moment, and even if he did he most likely wouldn't be able to do anything with it with his current strength, Feng could only forget about it for now and focus on the other information and clues he had; one of which laid within Blackwing City to which he was going now. 

As soon as he arrived at Blackwing City, Feng didn't bother taking a carriage and instead quickly passed through the streets which had become more crowded by players at this stage of the game, arriving at a certain small store soon after. 

The small store looked a bit deserted with no players inside it or anywhere near it. As Feng walked into the store, he was greeted by shelves filled with sweets and candies all around the walls while a sweet smell entered his nostrils. 

Glancing around, Feng approached the store's counter where a beautiful young woman with lime green hair soundly slept while letting out an occasional snore. 

"Oi, you've got a customer." Knocking on the wooden counter, Feng called out to the sleeping woman, feeling exasperated. 

His surefire way of getting the Book of Cooking, one of the Book of Creation's fragments, was through this store; or more specifically, through this sleeping woman. 

Currently, none of the players knew that this sloth was actually a Great Grandmaster Chef who specializes in sweets. Only, after pissing off a certain Emperor with her obnoxious attitude, she was forced to be on the run before eventually coming to Blackwing City and setting up a shop here after gifting the Blackwing City's ruler some high quality sweets and getting his protection. 

"Hmm?" Olivia groggily half-opened her eyes and glanced at Feng, seemingly remembering that she was running a store after a moment of confusion, before going back to sleep "Oh, right. Help yourself." 

Feng's eyebrow twitched upon seeing the reaction, but shook his head and looked through the items sold in the shop. 

In his God's Domain, Olivia's shop was a bit unique in the form that its prices largely increase over time, and were always out of range from regular players. Even now, the cheapest item in the Sweet Shop cost 10 Silver Coins, with the more costly ones being around 80 Silvers; and later on would each grow to cost hundreds or thousands of Gold Coins. 

Moreover, the worst part was that the sweets didn't even have any effects, with only the cheap ones giving some temporary increase to a player's attributes. Although the increase was very good, the high price of the sweets didn't make it worth it, which deterred all of the customers. 

However, that was only how it appeared on the surface. Activating the Eyes of Truth, the information of all of the shop's items was revealed to Feng. The sweets that previously seemed like only ordinary items were now revealed to be high ranking Consumables with powerful effects, with some temporarily giving an incredible boost to a player's basic attributes, with some even increasing Hidden Attributes by a considerable amount; while some gave large permanent increases to a player's Basic Attributes, with some permanently increasing Hidden Attributes by a bit. 

The Eyes of Truth also revealed that the weak and sloppy looking Olivia was in reality a Tier 4 Nightwalker. 

After taking a glance around the store, Feng pointed to a glass jar on the counter filled with a dozen or so Chocolate Sticks[2], which didn't even have a price tag on them, requesting "I want ten of these." 

Olivia opened one of her eyes and glanced at where Feng was pointing, before closing it again while lazily sticking out her hand that was lying on the wooden counter "Ten Gold Coins." 

If someone else were to hear this, their mouths would probably drop to the floor as they yelled out a curse or two at Olivia. Ten Gold Coins for ten Chocolate Sticks meant that each stick cost a Gold Coin. 

At the current stage of the game, players would be lucky if they had an entire Silver or two on them, while the various large Guilds would have only around a dozen Gold Coins in fluid funds; and even the Superpowers would only have a thousand or so Gold Coins saved up. 

With such a high price, even if someone did have the money for the Chocolate Stick, they naturally wouldn't be willing to spend it on a simple treat. Not to mention that the Chocolate Sticks didn't bring any effects, even the other high priced sweets in the shop at least looked good, while the Chocolate Stick had a very plain appearance of a simple brown cylinder the length of two fingers. 

Feng, though, took out ten Gold Coins and placed them in Olivia's palm without hesitation, not at all shocked by the price as he already knew that the Chocolate Sticks were the most expensive items in Olivia's shop and that they had once reached a price of 5,000 Gold Coins each in his previous life; while they were also the key to him acquiring the Book of Cooking. 

After receiving the ten Gold Coins, Olivia simply retracted her hand and went back to sleep while Feng just stood to the side and watched her as if waiting for something. 

"I hope you're not expecting to be served. I meant it when I said 'help yourself'." Seemingly sensing Feng's gaze, Olivia quietly spoke out while remaining in the same position as before, practically telling Feng to do it himself and showing zero interest in acting like a proper shop owner. 

Shaking his head, Feng grabbed one of the Chocolate Sticks from the glass jar and placed it in his mouth before taking the rest and storing them in his bag. 

Afterwards, Feng strolled through the shop and checked out the rest of the sweets while chewing on the Chocolate Stick. 

However, as soon as Feng swallowed the entire Chocolate Stick, the Mana inside of him suddenly started going berserk as it moved all through out his body as if trying to rip him apart from the inside. 

Not surprised by the sudden turn of events, Feng quickly controlled the Mana inside of him and attempted to stabilize it. Feng had already known from the information Zero Wing acquired in his previous life that this side effect of consuming the Chocolate Sticks would kick in, so he had been prepared for it. 

Although Feng was a melee class and his current Tier didn't really allow him to manipulate external Mana by much, at his standard as well as him being a Grandmaster Magician and his current Elemental Affinity level, he could still easily control the bit of Mana flowing inside of him and deal with the Chocolate Stick's effects on it. 

Of course, with such a side effect and high price, the benefits of a Chocolate Stick were naturally great as well. 

[Chocolate Stick] (Consumable)

When consumed:

Mana Recovery increased by 150% for 10 minutes

Reaction Speed increased by 10% for 10 minutes

All Attributes permanently increased by 1.5%

Physique permanently increased by 1%

Poison Resistance +5 

No cooldown

A candy created by the Great Grandmaster Chef Olivia. If anyone is discovered consuming or in possession of this item within the Black Dragon Empire's territory, their Reputation with the Empire will instantly turn Hostile. 

With the Chocolate Stick's effects, its price of one Gold Coin suddenly appeared very cheap. Of course, the benefits brought by the Chocolate Stick would decrease along with the amount of them a player consumes as well as the player's attributes, and even now, Feng didn't receive the full boost to his attributes from the Chocolate Stick he had consumed due to his already incredibly high attributes. 

Still, the effects and benefits he gained from the Chocolate Stick were amazing for the price he got them; not to mention the Poison Resistance. 

Though, the side effect of his Mana going berserk after consuming it made it a bit difficult to eat and enjoy its incredibly sweet taste, and if a player doesn't managed to control their Mana after eating a Chocolate Stick or eats too many of them, they could suffer dire consequences. 

After around twenty seconds, Feng had managed to stabilize his rampaging Mana and went back to window shopping while taking out and eating a second Chocolate Stick. 

Although Feng new of plenty of places where he could buy Consumables that permanently increased a player's attributes by a large amount, those items usually required players to have high Reputation in certain places and spend a lot of money on them. Not to mention, even Great Grandmaster Dishes like Olivia's would give limited benefits to him, let alone the other Dishes he could acquire that were mostly Grandmaster rank. 

Though, the benefits these sweets could provide to his guild members would be great; only, it would require Feng to buy many in order for them to be enough and spend a lot of money, which although Feng had, he already had some plans on the current Gold Coins in his possession; so he could only check the prices for now and calculate a rough estimate of how much their price would increase over some time with the information he had from his previous life. 

When Feng finished eating his second Chocolate Stick, the Mana inside of him went berserk once more; however, the intensity was a bit greater this time, and it required Feng to expand much more effort and time in order to stabilize it. 

Still, Feng took out a third Chocolate Stick and placed it in his mouth. 

As so, time passed with Feng checking out the Sweet Shop's sweets while eating Chocolate Sticks, with the side effects growing greater and more difficult to control with each one. What Feng didn't notice, though, or at least pretended not to notice, was that when he finished eating his fifth Chocolate Stick and managed to stabilize his Mana after a bit of effort, one of Olivia's eyes slightly peered open and gazed at him as he paced around her shop. 

After around twenty minutes, Feng finished recovering from his tenth Chocolate Stick, with much greater difficulty this time, and went to the counter along with all the items he wanted. 

"I'll buy all of these and some more of those Chocolate Sticks." Feng said as he placed down his chosen sweets and deserts, which were ten yellow cupcakes, a blue teddy bear shaped marshmallow and some red, curly, sweet-looking thin snake-like lines; along with a few other sweets. 

These were all Consumables that either temporarily or permanently increased his Luck, and Feng had bought as many as would be effective in order to boost his Luck points for when he opened the Legendary Treasure Chest he got for being Worshipped by the War God's Temple. 

Instead of answering immediately, Olivia, who although awake now still laid on the counter while resting her head on her hand, stayed silent for a moment and gazed at Feng, before straightening herself as a faint smile appeared on her face "Say, you seem to really be enjoying those Chocolate Sticks, right?" 

"Mhm" Feng simply nodded, as he did indeed enjoy the taste and sweetness of the treats. Only that Mana destabilizing side effect ruined the enjoyment every time and took plenty of effort to fix up, especially after eating multiple within a short amount of time, with Feng now having much of his Concentration drained after consuming ten in a row and feeling like he won't be able to endure it if he ate another. 

"Perfect, then." Olivia's smile grew brighter upon hearing Feng response "You see, I've made a large amount of those Chocolate Sticks, but as no one has been buying them, they've only been collecting dust in my storeroom; and will eventually go bad at this point." 

A dispirited look appeared on Olivia's expression, as if her Great Grandmaster Dishes, which normally need thousands of years for their quality to even slightly decrease, let alone go bad, were in danger before giving Feng a pitiful look "Would you be so kind as to buy and eat them all? Preferably within two months for no specific reason at all? Of course, I won't be heartless as well and will give you a 10% discount on all of the sweets in my shop." 

System: Inferior Legendary Hidden Quest, "Sweets Enjoyer" triggered. 

Quest details: Consume 10,000 Chocolate Sticks within two months. Rewards: Unknown. Penalties: Unknown.

System: Do you wish to accept?

'Inferior Legendary? Isn't it just supposed to be an Epic Hidden Quest to eat 1,000 Chocolate Sticks?' Blinking, Feng looked at the system notification. 

From the information he had, if someone buys ten Chocolate Sticks and eats them, with at least five of them being in front of Olivia, they would trigger an Epic Hidden Quest that required them to consume 1,000 Chocolate Sticks within a certain amount of time. After that, if the player completed certain conditions, they'll be able to obtain the Book of Cooking. 

Of course, spending so much money to buy and time and effort to consume so many Chocolate Sticks would never be worth for just an item that allowed a player to become a Master Chef, with the rest of the valuable rewards being the important thing while the Book of Cooking was just one of the bonus rewards. 

Though, for Feng, it was the opposite as the Book of Cooking was the only thing he cared about while the rest of the rewards were negligible. 

However, now that the Hidden Quest was actually Inferior Legendary rank and the number of Chocolate Sticks has increased, things were a bit different and didn't seem as simple. Feng switched his gaze to Olivia's smiling expression that seemed like she was definitely hiding something, before shaking off the thought. 

"Sure, I'll do it." 

Although eating ten thousand Chocolate Sticks within only two months would be a bit troublesome due to their mana destabilization side effect, and Feng might only be able to eat one hundred a day if he spread them out, that was only for the moment, as after Feng reaches Tier 2 and 3, he'll be able to easily consume them without worrying about the side effects with his level of control over Mana. 

System: You have accepted the Inferior Legendary Hidden Quest "Sweets Enjoyer". 

"Great! Now I'll finally have a chance at winning the bet with that Old fart!" Olivia's expression grew much brighter and exited after hearing Feng agree "I'll be right back." Saying so, Olivia got up and dashed to the back of the shop. 

A few minutes later, Olivia returned while carrying four large boxes stacked on top of each other in her arms, that swayed from side to side, seeming like they would fall over at any moment. 

Placing them down heavily on the counter, a small cloud of dust rose from the boxes as Olivia sat back down. 

"Alright, here are all of my Chocolate Sticks. Along with the rest of the sweets you have chosen, that would total to.... 10,000 Gold Coins." Olivia looked at the other items Feng had brought over and calculated in her head for a bit, before seemingly giving up and saying 10,000 while stretching out her hand. 

Feng looked through the rest of his items and the 9,990 Chocolate Sticks, summarizing that the price should definitely be 10,006 Gold and 40 Silver Coins, before turning to Olivia in confusion "Are you sur-"

"Don't question my abilities to do complex mathematics boy." Olivia impatiently interrupted Feng, definitely not trying to hide that she knew that she most likely gave the wrong price, while emphasizing with her outstretched hand "Now give." 

'Ah, she can't do math.' Feng was suddenly reminded of the rumor that Olivia doesn't know how to do basic math, which he didn't pay any attention to at the time, and confirmed it in his head, before switching his gaze to Olivia's hand that was expecting his money, asking "And the discount?" 

"Hm? What discount?" Olivia looked at Feng in confusion, before her expression changed slightly as she seemed to have remembered "Right, I gave you a discount." Olivia sulked after being reminded of the discount she had promised Feng, seemingly not too pleased by her own decision "And with the discount I gave you which was umm..." 

"10%." 

"Right, 10%, your total amounts to..." Feng could see the gears turning in Olivia's head as she stared into empty space while struggling to calculate his total, so he watched for a while before eventually sighing and deciding to help the poor beauty out. 

"9,005 Gold and 76 Silver Coins." Feng gave the real amount as he remembered another rumor that if players tried to use Olivia's inability to do big numbers in order to trick her, she'll suddenly turn into a master mathematician and know the exact price, which would cause her Favorability with the players to decrease and she might even refuse to sell them anymore sweets forever. 

Feng naturally wasn't willing to risk that for a little over five Gold Coins. 

"Right, 9,005 Gold and 76 Silver Coins." Olivia nodded, seemingly proud with herself for getting the number, while emphasizing with her outstretched hand once more; in which Feng placed a bag with the required amount of money. After checking the bag and storing it with a smiling expression, Olivia suddenly remembered something, as she took out and gave Feng a small brown tablet "Oh, right, take this as well. It'll keep track of the amount of Chocolate Sticks you have eaten. Once it reaches ten thousand, come to me." 

As he held the chocolate-looking tablet, the original number zero on it changed to ten, indicating that Feng had consumed only ten Chocolate Sticks. 

"Now, if you're not planning on buying anything else, you can leave the store." Getting up as she said so, Olivia shooed Feng out of her store before changing the sign on the door to 'Closed' and getting out as well while locking the store's entrance. 

"You're closing right now?" Feng looked at Olivia locking the door in confusion, as he was fairly certain her store was usually open until the evening. 

"Of course! Now that I have so much money from your purchasing, it'll be able to last me for a couple of months, so naturally I'm not gonna work during this time." Rolling her eyes at Feng, Olivia stated matter-of-factly. 

"Brilliant business strategy." Feng gave Olivia a thumbs up for her ingenious way of living. 

Afterwards, Olivia skipped away humming while Feng teleported back to White River City. 

As soon as he returned to White River City, Feng went to the Bank and stored the boxes of Chocolate Sticks, leaving only around five hundred or so on him, as well as the rest of the sweets he had bought from Olivia's shop, before returning to the Starstreak Trading Frim and giving the Book of Creation back to Cream Cocoa who was forging the Dragonclaw Set Equipment. 

After Feng returned her memories and she logged into God's Domain, Cocoa immediately checked the Guild's Warehouse and became shocked upon discovering the Book of Creation and seeing its information. She then began forging the Dragonclaw Set Equipment. 

Although Cocoa was only an Advanced Forging Apprentice at the moment, with the Book of Creation, the Ice-Blue Devil Flame Feng had left behind for her an the rest of her items, her success rate for forging Dark-Gold items was over 75%; and with Cocoa's standards and forging skills, there was very little chance for her to fail at forging the Dragonclaw Set. 

Only, after becoming a Dark-Gold Set, the materials necessary for forging the Dragonclaw Set had increased by quite a bit, and even though Feng had many of the materials required, there were still a few rare ones that were missing, which he had assigned Melancholic to buy. Though, as the amount of those materials was limited on the market, Melancholic was only able to acquire a limited amount within the short amount of time, so Cocoa opted to forge the Basic Strengthened Armor Kits in the mean time. 

But after Feng had taken the Book of Creation from her to ask Sharlyn about it, Cocoa stopped making the Dragonclaw Sets completely as there wouldn't be any chance for them to be upgraded into Epic Sets without the Book of Creation. 

Now that a certain amount of time has passed, Melancholic has delivered her plenty of the missing materials needed for the Dragonclaw Set, and Cocoa could continue forging the Sets without outpacing the material acquisition. 

Feng then called up Melancholic Smile. 

"Melancholic, how's the progress?" 

"Guild Leader, it's going fairly well, and the last batches are currently being sold." Melancholic immediately responded, knowing what Feng was asking about. 

After returning her memories, Feng had assigned Melancholic various tasks such as buying certain items and watching out for certain happening, while one of those tasks was selling off the various powers' equipment Feng acquired from the massacre after killing the Mechanical Slayer. 

As the players' current level was constantly increasing at a rapid pace, if he waited for too long the value of the equipment that was currently high level would drop significantly, so Feng had decided to simply have Melancholic sell off the equipment through the Auction House. 

Of course, as there was over two million pieces of weapons and equipment, Melancholic wouldn't place them all in White River City's Auction House as that would not only affect the current market value but would also reduce their profits. Thus, Melancholic had spread out the over two million items across the many Cities of Star-Moon Kingdom and the Kingdoms surrounding it in order to get as much money out of them as possible. 

At the moment, most of the weapons and equipment had already been auctioned off. Although much of the two million items was only Common rank, there were around just as many Bronze rank items, while the rest were Iron rank; with around a thousand or so being Secret-Silver rank. Considering the current prices for weapons and equipment that had drastically increased due to God's Domain's evolution as well as Feng's interference, Feng estimated that he'd earn around two hundred thousand Gold Coins. 

"Good. Transfer the money to me once it's done." Feng nodded while feeling pleased. With the left over money he had from the Holy Cavers' treasury, which was around 250,000 Gold Coins after leaving some for Zero Wing's needs and his other purposes, along with the money he'd get from the equipment's sales, as well as the benefits of Sharlyn's Blessing, Feng could finally kickstart the preparations for his plan. 

Afterwards, Feng left the Starstreak Trading Firm and headed to White River City's City Hall. 

"Lord Marquise, how may I be of service today?" A female manager asked respectfully, smiling when she noticed Feng enter the building.

"I wish to purchase some Land." Feng said.

"Please follow me." Saying so, the female manager led Feng to a VIP meeting room.

After a short wait, a tall, middle-aged man entered the room.

"Lord Marquise, I have prepared a list of all available Commercial Land. My lord may choose any plot of land on this list, and because of your esteemed status, you will receive a 35%[3] discount on all land."

"Okay." Feng didn't bother looking through the pages as he immediately said, "I want this one next to the Auction House."

If one pointed out the most valuable plots of Land in White River City, the first would be the plot directly beside the Auction House, the second was next to the Bank, the third was near the two aforementioned establishments, and the fourth was next to the Virtual Trade Center and the Adventurer's Association. This held true for every city in God's Domain. 

In the past, these plots of Land had been highly sought after. Renting one of these plots for just a month could be astronomically expensive. Moreover, as God's Domain developed, the money one could earn would grow. 

Naturally, it also cost a significant sum to purchase these plots of Land. Moreover, one must also possess certain status if they wanted to purchase Land; money alone was not enough. As a Marquise, though, Feng wasn't really limited by the number of plots he could purchase, but he still chose only one plot to begin his Shop's operation in White River City. 

Without hesitation, Feng requested the most popular plot of Land in White River City. 

An ordinary plot of Land in White River City cost over 1,000 Gold. If the Land was in the densely populated central district, it would cost more than 3,000 Gold.

As for the plot Feng had set his sight on, it cost over 8,000 Gold. However, Feng did not consider his choice to be expensive. 

"Lord Marquise, for the plot of Commercial Land you have chosen, it costs 9,200 Gold. After including the 35% discount, your total is 5,980 Gold," the male manager said with a bit of excitement. "In addition, after purchasing these two plots of land, there will be a 15% property tax every six months. If the tax isn't paid for in a year, this plot will be locked. If the tax isn't paid for in two years, the city will reclaim the Land." 

"Here is 5,980 Gold." Feng handed over the money without hesitation. He was already very familiar with God's Domain's rules, so he had expected this. Moreover, the Main God System had implemented this property tax with the purpose of avoiding someone powerful from monopolizing a city's Land. 

A short moment later, the manager passed the Deed for the plot of Land to Feng. With this, Feng could now establish a Shop on this tract anytime he wanted to. Moreover, this area was relatively large; it was in no way inferior to the Starstreak Trading Firm. 

At the end of the day, the Starstreak Trading Firm did not belong to Feng. Even if he managed it well, the Firm still belonged to NPCs. However, if he established Shops on plots he purchased, he could do whatever he wanted to them; it was a lot more convenient.

Though, Feng wasn't planning to set up a Shop on the plot he had purchased just yet. The time still wasn't exactly right, thus he was planning on waiting a bit longer. The only reason why Feng purchased the plot right now was because he was about to go on an estate purchasing spree before other powers could get enough Reputation and money to buy Land, and didn't feel like buying this one separate from the others.

Although he could have waited a few more days before purchasing it at the same time he did in his previous life in order for the necessary tax to need to be paid later on, Feng found it unnecessary. After all, he'll be able to use the Shop for a year before it gets locked without having to pay taxes. By that time, Feng would already practically own this God's Domain that would have evolved further and become extremely realistic by then, and he truly wished to see if the Star-Moon Kingdom would dare to make him pay taxes. 

So, Feng planned to commit tax evasion while becoming strong enough to simply either destroy or own the Star-Moon Kingdom; and, well, the rest of the world as well.
