Chapter 445: Nene Kinokuni's Initiative, a Gray Deal!
One night passed. The sky did not brighten, but seven or eight hours had gone by. Some people and the Children of Angels had already dealt with all the monsters.
The fifth floor opened.
When heading to the next level, Sakurajima Mai and Erina's group of five had flushed faces, their gazes occasionally darting towards Ren. Under his special arrangement, they had listened to the sounds of his marathon session with Kiana and the others, which echoed for seven or eight hours. It had truly exhausted them, physically and mentally.
Rindo Kobayashi was both regretful and relieved. She regretted doubting Ren's strength and stamina. She was relieved he hadn't actually done anything to her. Seven or eight hours... she would have died.
Erina was so pure that her mind had gone blank.
Ren's group had been quite successful. Kiana's body was now shared harmoniously by two souls. Of course, he wouldn't let go of his newly acquired subordinates, Phoenix and Luluna. He believed in love developing over time, and after a night of intense, passionate "communication," they were now much closer to him.
"Let's continue the conquest. Try to finish it within a day," he said, referring to Creation God Mountain.
The fifth level was the Land of Ice. Half of the monsters were Level 6 beasts, but this did not affect their progress. Ren also solved the Demon King challenge at the fastest speed, defeating the Icefang King and obtaining the azure magatama of the Sacred Icefang White Tiger.
It was only when he returned to the villa that an unexpected person came to visit: Nene Kinokuni.
"Is there something you need?"
"I want to gain power." Her tone and expression were unusually calm.
Ren quietly watched her, waiting. He couldn't understand her. Her expressionless face was more stoic than a ghost's.
Just like now, she suddenly came to him with her request. "A transaction. Using my body. But not now. Please give me time."
It was concise and very clear.
"You don't really think I'm a pervert, do you?" Ren was speechless.
Nene Kinokuni tilted her head. "Aren't you?" Hmm, that action paired with that face was quite striking.
"You're not a good judge of character. I'm not a pervert. Perverts are too low-class." Ren chose to follow his inner thoughts. Harem King is the true path.
"Tell me, why did you suddenly think of making this kind of transaction?" Since it was a transaction, he naturally wouldn't be polite. He reached out and pulled her into his embrace. He would strictly adhere to the transaction and not do anything else for now.
Nene didn't panic. "The monsters on each level will get stronger. If I don't use this opportunity now, there will be even less later. As an ordinary person who isn't a genius, I must pay more."
Genius... ordinary person... It seemed she had many self-inflicted worries. He wasn't going to get too involved, but there was one thing he had to ask. "What kind of power do you think your body is worth?"
"I'm a virgin, and I've never been kissed," she was exceptionally serious.
…Hiss. This girl really thought he was a pervert; she was very direct.
"Alright, since you want me to appraise it, I'll give you the best." Who made him, as the King of Studs, fall for this? The power of greed surged into her body, changing her genes according to his will. He gave her the complete "Girlfriend Ability Package," aside from the Angel/Apostle part, and strengthened her with the power of origin.
"This is the same ability as my women. Are you satisfied?" he withdrew his hand.
Nene's calm face had her eyes slightly widened. She felt a powerful force surging within her body. After a moment of silence, she suddenly kissed his cheek, a fleeting touch. "Thank you... Give me some time, and I will give my body to you completely." Then she stood up and left.
Meanwhile, among the bored group in the living room, Rindo had just seen her come out of his room. Then, Nene was actually walking out of the villa. Please, it's over sixty degrees below zero outside!
"Hey! Are you crazy?!" Rindo called out to her. But after she walked out, she was completely fine. What was going on?
Rindo's shout also attracted Erina and the others. After seeing Nene's condition, they were all bewildered.
Rindo suddenly remembered Nene had come out of Ren's room. She looked at him in shock. "Did Kinokuni get superpowers?"
"Yes, she did," he didn't hide it.
"She has superpowers too? How?" Erina didn't understand. Why were they all ordinary, but she suddenly took off?
Ren said, "A transaction."
"What transaction?" Sakurajima Mai was very curious.
"Well, an adult body transaction," he shrugged, telling the truth.
"Huh?" Body transaction? Isn't that... that? Erina and the others were stunned.
Mai's eyes widened even more. "Didn't you say before that you weren't a pervert???"
Ren shamelessly chuckled. "Heh heh, I'm indeed not a pervert. Perverts are too low-class, not suitable for me."
Hisako was even more confused. "But I said it before too. Why didn't you agree? Am I not charming enough?"
"Perhaps her sufficiently serious decision moved me. She has her own understanding of the game. She made the decision after seeing the monsters grow stronger, believing there would be fewer opportunities later." Compared to Hisako's blind decision, he preferred Nene's choice, made with serious determination.
