New Feature

"That was…" Charlotte gasped out breathlessly, her chest rising and falling with each intake of air

"Amazing…" Lucien finished her words with a satisfied smile, feeling a sense of triumph surge within him. It was as if he had conquered a great feat, and he couldn't help but feel proud of himself.

Although they had yet to reach the final stage of their lovemaking, Lucien could sense that they were not far from it. He knew that if he wanted, he could lose his virginity today, but he didn't want to rush things. He wanted to take it slow and make sure that everything was perfect for their first time together. He didn't want to lose his virginity in the middle of nowhere, but rather in a special place they could both cherish forever.

[Wow, host... I didn't know you had a conservative mindset, much like an old man!] Auman suddenly called out, snapping Lucien from his daze.

'S-shut up!' Lucien was embarrassed that his thoughts were exposed. 'Who said you could read my mind? And who said conservatives are belong only to the older generations? Let me tell you, there are alot of young people that shares the same mindset as me!' he snapped defensively to cover up his initial embarrassment.

[But, host, how else are we supposed to communicate if I don't read your thoughts?] Auman replied, her tone conveying a sense of logic.

That's true, but still… Lucien was at a loss for words. After a moment of contemplation, he came up with an idea. "How about we establish a rule of gesture?" he proposed.

[What is that?]

Lucien explained, "If I want to communicate with you, I'll make a specific gesture. If I don't make the gesture, you're not allowed to read my thoughts without my permission."

Truthfully, he wasn't entirely confident with his proposal and just suggested it on a whim. After all, he was essentially a dead man and only lived because a goddess took pity on him. And since Auman was a guide appointed directly by the goddess, her position was above him. If she denied his suggestion, he had no choice but to live the rest of his life with his thoughts constantly getting exposed and monitored.

[Okay, then. What kind of gesture do we agree to?] Surprisingly, Auman bought his suggestion. He felt like tearing up in relief and quickly elaborated, lest, Auman would change her mind. "If I tap my glabella twice, that means ON. It indicates that you could read my mind and talk to me through it. If I tap my glabella thrice, that means OFF, indicating we've finished the conversation, and you're not allowed to read my thoughts any further. A-are we clear?" Lucien repeated.

[Understood.]

'That's good, then.' Lucien was just one tap away from ending their conversation when Auman interrupted. [My apologies, host, but I had to interrupt you. The goddess has just added another feature to your system]

'Huh?' Lucien blankly wondered as several transparent screens materialized before him.

[Ding!]

[Calculating points…

[You've engaged in a third-level carnality.]

[You've received 300 EXP]

[You've received 300 EP]

[Your lime limit will be increased for another 12 hours!]

Just like before, Lucien received several notifications on the transparent screen after engaging in sexual activity with Charlotte. The notifications were almost identical to the previous ones, except for the inclusion of EP.

'What's EP?' Lucien couldn't help but ask.

[EP, which stands for Erotic Points, can be earned through various means, including engaging in carnal activities, and can be used to purchase items available in the store.]

Another transparent screen began to appear before Lucien's eyes.

[Shop]

[Lesser Vitality Potion]: 100 EP

Restores your vitality and cures injuries. The more robust and potent one's stamina, the less effective the potion effect will be.

[Lesser Stamina Potion]: 100 EP

Replenishes your stamina reserves, enabling you to engage in physical activity with renewed vigor. The more substantial and potent one's stamina, the less effective the potion effect will be.

[Smoke Of Deceit]: 300 EP

A bag that would release a billow of smoke if opened, granting the caster and those within a ten-meter radius invisibility for ten minutes. However, if the caster initiates any physical or magical activity against a living creature, the invisibility effect will be immediately broken.

....

The list seemed endless, and Lucien found himself growing increasingly fatigued from scrolling through it.

'Just, how many items are there?' Lucien rubbed his temples in exhaustion.

[It should be several thousand, but that's just my initial approximation. The goddess may update the list at any time.] Lucien felt a wave of exhaustion wash over him at the thought of sifting through so many items. How could he possibly sort through such a vast selection?

Then a thought occurred to him: 'Can you shorten the list based on my specific needs?'

[ Sure, just tell me what kind of items you need.] Auman responded cooly.

'How about cameras? Are there modern cameras on the store?'

[Unfortunately, due to the stark differences in civilization and technology between Earth and Eldridia, modern technologies from Earth are not permitted in the store.]

Lucien didn't feel discouraged, as he had already anticipated that modern Earth technology wouldn't be available in Eldridia. However, he continued to inquire, 'Are there any devices in Eldridia that could capture images or record video?' He added, 'Please make sure to only show me the items that are within my available EP balance.'

[Understood.]

[Searching for the recording and capturing images-related device...

[Searching complete

[Enhanced Ethon Shard]: 400 EP

[This shard is a rare find, cut off from the crystalline mountains of Ethon. Its natural ability to capture images has made it famous among collectors, but this particular shard has been enhanced and modified by sorcerers. It can now record up to ten minutes of audio and visual content. The shard's storage span is around fifty years, after which it gradually loses its magical properties and becomes unusable. It's a valuable item for anyone looking to capture important moments or gather information, but be warned that it comes with a hefty price tag due to its rarity and power.]

'Ha! This is what I've been looking for! But, 400 EP? I'm short for 100 EP, then.'

[It seems that you have forgotten about the first-level carnal activity you engaged in earlier, host. Previously, because there was no update, you only received EXP. However, now that the update has been made, the EP that should have been added to your account at that time has now been credited to you. Your balance has now been increased to 400 EP!]

'Ah, I see!' Lucien nodded his head understandingly and proceeded to buy the shard without hesitation. He knew that such a rare moment of intimacy with Charlotte, with her naked body stained with his semen and her pussy overflowing with her juices in an open area, would be difficult to recreate or capture again.

Well, perhaps it wouldn't be too hard to capture another moment like that, considering Charlotte's insatiable appetite. However, it was still their first intimate encounter, and Lucien found it worth preserving.

Money could be earned, but memories like these were priceless!

As he looked down at his empty right palm, he felt a weighty object materialize in his hand. When he opened his palm, he was surprised to find a brick-sized object that glowed faintly.

'Is this Enhanced Ethon Shard?'

The Shard had been molded to resemble modern-day physical cameras, with various buttons and tiny engravings on its side, each explaining its specific function.

As he pressed the button designated for recording, the Ethon Shard hummed to life, and a small display screen lit up on its surface. The timer began to count down from ten minutes, and Lucien could see the remaining time displayed in bold, glowing digits.

9:59

9:58

Lucien hastily targets the camera in Charlotte's direction as if afraid of wasting any seconds.

Charlotte was catching her breath from their passionate moment and was in the middle of organizing her thought. She didn't even bother to inquire about Lucien's silence, thinking he was as tired as her and didn't want to be disturbed for a while.

Surprisingly, a couple of minutes flew by when she suddenly heard rustling noises. Then, she watched as Lucien turned to her in hasty, wielding a glowing crystal. With widened eyes, she blurted out. "Is that Ethon Shard?"

Lucien nodded his head and instructed. "Now spread your legs and masturbate."
