Yin Harmony Harvest...

"Thank you, Amelia. This helps a lot," Leon said sincerely, a slight smile on his face.

Amelia smiled, squeezing his hand. "I'm glad I could help. We'll figure everything out together, Leon."

Leon's eyes twitched when a series of panels appeared in front of him. He clenched his fist, angered, only to relax when he noticed that Amelia didn't react accordingly. Clearly, she couldn't see the panels as he could. He didn't bother asking the system why; Jake had already told him that in the novel he read, only the MC could see his panel unless he willed it otherwise.

'Wait, is this world some kind of novel written by a bastard author, and am I an MC?' Leon's eyes widened, but he quickly concealed his shock since Amelia was still speaking.

He watched as she continued with more details about their world. "Leon, there's also the matter of sects, academies, and clans. These organizations play a significant role in the structure of society. Sects are typically focused on cultivation, teaching their members various techniques and philosophies. Clans, on the other hand, are family-based groups that often have their own unique cultivation methods and martial arts."

Leon tilted his head. "And the academies?"

Amelia nodded. "Academies are crucial, especially for preparing individuals for the Great Labyrinth exploration. The Great Labyrinth is a massive, ever-changing maze filled with treasures, dangers, and ancient knowledge. Exploring it can earn points to significantly increase the rank of our world. Academies train students in various disciplines, from combat techniques to strategic thinking, to ensure they are ready for such challenges."

Leon looked intrigued. "So, which one are we part of?"

Amelia chuckled. "I'm part of the Dawnblade Clan, not a sect but I'm planning to join one soon. My father is the head of the clan and is appointed as a Viscount. We are tasked with looking after a small part of the Empire. Our clan emphasizes balance between physical and Qi cultivation. We believe that true strength comes from harmonizing the two."

She paused, looking thoughtful. "There are rival sects, clans, and academies as well, each with their own beliefs and practices. Some are friendly, while others are hostile. Navigating these relationships can be tricky."

Leon nodded, his curiosity piqued. "What about the different kinds of cultivation techniques?"

"Ah, yes," Amelia said. "There are countless techniques, each with its own strengths and weaknesses. Some are focused on offensive capabilities, like powerful combat arts. Others are defensive, enhancing the cultivator's resilience and ability to withstand attacks. There are also support techniques that can heal or enhance other abilities."

Meanwhile, Leon began to wonder, 'System, is that Yin Harmony Harvest skill capable of extracting affinity from girls I have sex with?'

[...]

He sighed. 'Could it be that it can't speak because of the affinity extraction?'

'Sigh, it really does have restrictions on it just as it told me before...'

Leon was about to ask the system why it wasn't responding, hoping to get an answer this time, but then another panel materialized before him.

Yin Harmony Harvest

•────⋅☾ Skill Description ☽⋅────•

What's sex without an addition of strength?!

The Vice and Valor system ensures you get stronger with every encounter. Just Vice points aren't enough anymore...

How about the ability to copy your girls' affinities? "Steal" sounds bad, but their affinities remain untouched. It's more of a copy than a theft, identical to the original.

Imagine gaining an additional affinity from every girl that cums to your dick. This skill makes that possible!

•────⋅☾ Effects ☽⋅────•

Affinity Steal: Copy the affinity of every girl that cums to your dick.

Dick Addiction (additional effect): Makes every girl that tastes your dick want more. This effect can be activated and deactivated at will.

•────⋅☾ Limitations ☽⋅────•

If a new girl you fuck already has an affinity you possess, the Yin Harmony Harvest skill won't be activated...

However, you can gain affinity points in this scenario. Affinity points can be used to increase your affinity to an element.

Leon was awed after reading the words on the panel. From the system's response, he knew that it was awake and could hear him but couldn't reply directly. Instead, it sent this panel as a response to his question.

Amelia noticed that Leon seemed distracted. With a worried look on her face, she asked, "Leon, is something wrong?"

"No, Amelia, it's nothing. You can continue," Leon smiled.

Amelia's face brightened upon seeing his smile, realizing her worry was unfounded. She continued, "Techniques are often categorized by their rank: Common, Uncommon, Rare, and Legendary. The higher the rank, the more powerful and difficult the technique is to master."

'She seems really chatty' Leon thought to himself, amused by Amelia's chattiness. 'I like how she explains everything in detail,' he mused, feeling glad for the informative conversation. It didn't occur to him that the persuasion effect of the Divine Charm Aura might be at play.

This persuasion effect wasn't intrusive; it merely nudged the opposite sex to reply positively to his questions, particularly when they might have been hesitant. It was a subtle influence, not the primary function of the Divine Charm Aura skill. If someone possessed a strong will and mind, they could resist its gentle persuasion.

Meanwhile, Leon after listening to Amelia absorbed the information she gave, feeling more confident with each passing moment. "This is all so fascinating. But Amelia, what about the legends and myths of our world? Are there any notable ones?"

Amelia's eyes sparkled with excitement. "Oh, there are plenty! There's one legendary figure I should mention—a rogue cultivator known as the Legendary Thief. He reached the Immortal Ascension realm despite his rogue status, stealing cultivation resources from sects, factions, clans, and academies using his unique techniques. What made him even more legendary was that he was never caught, not even once. However, in recent years, his stealing streak stopped, and his whereabouts became completely unknown."
