Nolan wrapped his arms around Charlotte's back and flipped her over, letting her lie on top of him. As he continued kissing her, his hands slowly began undoing her clothes.
The zipper was pulled down, and the rose-colored short skirt quickly loosened.
Nolan pushed the skirt aside, stopping at Charlotte's snow-white, soft thighs without completely removing it.
She was still wearing a backless sleeveless thin top, and the white tight shorts wrapped around her hips were also revealed.
Nolan's hands roamed over Charlotte's fair and graceful back for a while. Then his left hand slid to the right, moving along the soft, pale skin beneath her arm toward the front.
His right hand, meanwhile, slid down along her back, slipping inside the white tight shorts to press against her soft, elastic hips, kneading and caressing them.
After a few minutes, Nolan used his fingers to gently part the soft, fair skin of Charlotte's hips, slightly pulling the white tight shorts to one side.
Charlotte suddenly let out a soft "Mm."
She bit down on Nolan, who was kissing her, while her hands tightly gripped his shoulders.
However, after more than ten minutes, she no longer had the strength to keep holding on, instead resting weakly against him.
As time passed, Charlotte soon became completely exhausted, collapsing on top of Nolan. At that moment, Furina and Clorinde walked in.
Seeing Charlotte already lying to the side in exhaustion, Furina happily pounced onto Nolan and kissed him, her fair hand sliding down his chest.
Clorinde also began undoing her clothes at the side, letting them slip off her body.
Over the next week, Nolan spent his time raising the girls' affection and getting close with them. Of course, he did not forget to visit the "Sea of Quanta" to search for new world bubbles and improve his cultivation speed.
As for increasing affection, he mainly focused on the girls in Fontaine.
Since a fashion design competition was being held there, Nolan once again used the excuse of wanting to learn about fashion design to visit Chiori's shop.
His real goal was to spend time with Chiori and make her develop feelings for him.
However, Chiori needed to be alone in a quiet environment when designing her works, so Nolan could not stay with her all day.
During his free time, he went to raise the affection of other Fontaine girls.
Among the Fontaine girls who had a close relationship with him but had not yet reached maximum affection were Chiori, Navia, and Chevreuse. When visiting Navia, he used the excuse of not having seen her for a long time and came to check on her.
At the same time, he would see if there was anything he could help with in the construction of Poisson Town. His approach with Chevreuse was similar, visiting her as a friend while also helping her deal with any difficulties.
If there happened to be nothing that needed help, Nolan would use the excuse that he was already there and accompany her on patrol.
Just like that, about a week passed, and Nolan successfully raised the affection of several girls by quite a bit.
Among them, Chiori's affection for him rose from Level 7 with just over 100 points to:
[Chiori's Current Affection Level Toward You: Lv.9 (522/900)]
Level 9 with over 500 points, already very close to max!
On the other side, Navia was the same. Although he spent relatively less time with her these past few days, he still managed to raise her affection to nearly max:
[Navia's Current Affection Level Toward You: Lv.9 (331/900)]
Previously, Navia's affection toward him was Level 8 with 300 points. In other words, over the course of this week, Nolan spent more than 800 minutes with her, gaining over 831 points of affection.
As for Chevreuse, her affection had originally been Level 6 with 500 points, and it also saw a solid increase:
[Chevreuse's Current Affection Level Toward You: Lv.8 (695/800)]
Aside from finding ways to increase the girls' affection, Nolan naturally did not forget to improve his own strength.
During these days, he spent the daytime raising the girls' affection, and at night, as usual, he went to the "Sea of Quanta" to search for world bubbles.
The number of world bubbles he had found had now increased from fifty to sixty-five, averaging about two per day.
Moreover, his luck was quite good. Among the newly found fifteen world bubbles, most contained intelligent life, and three of them even had complete planetary civilizations.
Each world basically had populations exceeding ten billion.
This greatly increased the number of intelligent beings within the newly fused sixty-five layers of world bubbles. Combined with his previous efforts to maintain a cultivation gain of thirty thousand points per second,
The total number of intelligent beings within this sixty-five-layer fused world bubble had likely surpassed the hundred-billion level. After all, sustaining a cultivation rate of thirty thousand per second, or roughly 2.6 billion per day, would be impossible without a population of that scale.
And in just this short week, Nolan increased the population of this world bubble by several tens of billions. His cultivation gain had now reached fifty thousand points per second!
However, these tens of billions of people were not added all at once, but found at different times throughout the week. Therefore, his average cultivation gain over the week was about forty thousand per second.
At forty thousand per second, that amounted to roughly 3.456 billion per day. Multiplied by seven, Nolan gained a total of over 24.19 billion EXP this week.
Adding this nearly 24.2 billion to the remaining 1.62 billion from when he reached Level 173, he now had about 25.8 billion EXP in total.
From Level 173 to Level 174 required 8.3 billion, then 8.4 billion, and then 8.5 billion.
With that, the 25.8 billion was just enough for him to level up three times in succession. He was now Level 176:
[Level: Lv176 (655271831 — 50000+/8.6 billion)]
At his current average of fifty thousand points per second, it would take about two days to level up once. To reach Level 180, it would take roughly another eight days.
This speed was already extremely fast, but Nolan felt it could be pushed a little further!
The main reason was that, in these past few days, Chiori had successfully completed the online competition and advanced into the top 32. In two days, the offline stage of the fashion design competition would begin.
She needed to focus on preparing several designs for the competition, so Nolan couldn't disturb her. Meanwhile, Navia and Chevreuse, being Chiori's friends, had been called over to act as models to try on outfits.
With nothing much to do, Nolan decided to spend these two days focusing entirely on searching for world bubbles in the "Sea of Quanta," hoping to reach Level 180 as soon as possible.
After that, in a couple of days, he would return to raising Chiori and the others' affection.
