In the bedroom, the tumultuous two-hour encounter finally came to an end.
Anna lay exhausted on the bed, traces of a milky white substance lingering on her body.
"Dear Henry, I feel like your energy has been increasing lately. I'm almost struggling to keep up with you," she said.
"Is that so?" Henry pondered for a moment, realizing indeed his vitality had surged. Even now, he felt he had plenty of energy left.
"It might be due to my awakened hidden support class, which seems to also boost my own stamina."
"And besides, your performance just now was quite impressive, reaching climax about five times, right?"
Anna, with a sense of resignation, pulled a tissue from the box on the bedside table and wiped herself clean.
"It's exhilarating, sure, but it's quite a strain on my body. My suggestion is to find someone else to share the load."
Henry was taken aback for a moment before responding.
"My dear, you know I am utterly devoted to you. I have no intentions of finding a second."
"Let's then conduct an experiment to see if I can truly handle it."
Anna's hand gently caressed Henry's penis, and in an instant, the previously limp muscles stiffened, rising like a mighty pillar.
Both of them were stunned on the bed, even Henry hadn't expected his member to be so responsive.
Anna was genuinely afraid now, as Henry's current state resembled an indefatigable barbarian.
"My dear, this isn't a joke. This is a request. Please, go find another sister to help share the burden."
Henry was about to make another excuse, but Anna cut him off and subtly pointed towards the living room.
She whispered in his ear,
"What do you think about Emily? Her background isn't as simple as just being the niece of Bolt Academy's principal. I've heard her family is quite influential. If she joins our team, do you think there's a chance?"
"How can that be? The education I received from childhood doesn't allow me to do such things," Henry replied, asserting his position as a gentleman.
Anna rolled her eyes at him, teasing,
"Ever since you specified in our team's recruitment ad that only female hidden class players were accepted, I knew you were up to no good. Now that she's practically at our doorstep, stop making excuses."
"You don't have to deliberately do anything. Just let things happen naturally. I can even help you nudge things along in the background."
Why would Anna think this way about him?
When he set that recruitment requirement, it was entirely for the sake of the team's benefit, not with any intention of sexual relations...
But in the end, Henry relented and said, "Fine, I'll leave it to you."
Anna smoothed out Henry's underwear and then slipped her legs through his.
"However, that's a matter for later. What you need to do now is put on your pants, step out strongly, and secure the most benefits for our team."
After quickly tidying up in the room, they hurriedly opened the bedroom door.
Greeting Henry's eyes was a petite, sweet-looking girl sitting on the sofa, nervously swallowing.
"Sorry to keep you waiting, Emily."
Henry grabbed a juice from the fridge, poured himself a glass, and took a big gulp before speaking.
"It's only been a couple of hours since I spoke with your uncle, and you're already here in my apartment. It seems you're quite eager to level up."
Emily nodded anxiously, surrounded by unfamiliar things, even catching the lingering scent of sex in the air.
"Yes, Mr. Henry. To be honest, I've been stuck at level 17 for two whole months. Before coming here, I was leveling up in a dungeon with a friend."
Level 17 for two months?
Henry frowned, realizing the astronomical amount of experience Emily must need.
"I heard your family is well-off. Couldn't you afford to hire some more experienced awakeners to level up with you?"
"Yes, my family does have the means," Emily admitted, her expression turning pained as if harboring a secret difficulty.
"But for certain reasons, I can't ask my family for help with this matter. I'll explain more about it later."
Henry nodded in understanding. "If it's a private family matter, I won't pry further."
"Let's then discuss the requirements for joining my team," he said, and Emily listened intently to his words.
"First, any special items you acquire during team missions, eighty percent must be handed over to me," Henry stated.
"Second, you will use your network to provide us with detailed information about various dungeons, facilitating our team's leveling up."
Emily furrowed her brow, wanting to reject Henry's conditions.
"Mr. Henry, I can agree to the second condition, but the first seems a bit harsh. Handing over eighty percent of the mission's gains is something I find hard to accept."
"This isn't up for discussion,"
Henry said flatly.
"Don't feel too aggrieved. Even with only twenty percent of the gains, it will far exceed your expectations when you're with me. Besides, you're joining my team for leveling up, not for profit."
For leveling up...
Emily struggled internally but ultimately couldn't resist the temptation and lowered her proud head.
"If the team's profits are really as good as you say, then I accept these conditions."
"Hold on, I'm not done yet."
Henry smiled and pulled Anna into his arms.
"During missions, all the menial and tiresome tasks are yours to handle. Additionally, you're responsible for covering all miscellaneous expenses like food and venue fees."
Emily's anger flared, and she stood up from the sofa.
"This is utterly unreasonable! I'm here to level up, not to be a servant. And besides, don't you have a companion here? At the very least, these tasks should be shared between the two of us."
Henry replied with a nonchalant smile,
"Sorry, she's my woman, and you're not. So, you don't really have grounds to refuse. Join or don't join, those are your options. I need your answer now."
After an internal struggle, Emily couldn't resist the allure of leveling up. "Fine."
A smirk played on Henry's lips.
"Since you've agreed, let's choose a dungeon suitable for your leveling, and we can set off this afternoon."
Emily nodded, a bit excited.
Despite Henry's domineering demeanor, he seemed quite decent towards his teammates, not delaying things.
"List the dungeons you know of around the city, and I'll see which one is suitable."
Emily named several nearby dungeons, and after a moment of contemplation, Henry made his decision.
"Zombie Village, we'll go there."
Zombie Village was a well-designed dungeon in the game.
In the 14th century, an entire village of peasants was hanged by their feudal lord.
Their unburied corpses, influenced by a mysterious force, transformed their grievances into a powerful drive for vengeance.
They wandered endlessly around the village, waiting for their avengers to arrive.
Henry chose this scenario because the zombies in the dungeon weren't very strong, making it safer for the three of them.
Moreover, these zombies were around level 10 and could resurrect indefinitely, providing decent experience.
The two women around Henry agreed with his choice.
After devising a brief battle plan, they stopped at a restaurant for a meal, with the bill, of course, paid by Henry's current covert servant—Emily.
...
Around 2 pm, they arrived at the entrance of the dungeon.
Gazing at the ominous and terrifying Zombie Village, Emily couldn't help but ask, "What's our plan?"
Henry lazily said, "The plan is simple. You two stand by my side and kill any zombies that come by."
"And what about you?" Emily asked, puzzled.
"I'll set up a hammock here and rest for a while," Henry replied.
