Harem Overlord: I ALWAYS Finish Quick!-Chapter 125 SS-Rank... In What?

After Ryan finished inside Amanda, she was teleported to a separate location to experience bliss, while Ryan experienced the world's weirdest sensation.

'I just came, and it felt amazing... but at the same time, I feel as though I had never cum in the first place.' f𝚛e𝗲𝔀e𝚋𝑛o𝘃𝒆𝗹.c𝗼𝒎

As Ryan fell into a profound philosophical conundrum about the ways of pleasure and the true paradise of mankind, he received another notification.

[Buyer Alert!]

[Name: WetCougar]

[Race: Human]

[Buyer Rank: 469]

? [Cultivation Rank: C-Rank]

[Accept / Decline]

'Welp, guess it's grinding time.'

===

After a strenuous few hours, Ryan felt... 'I don't know how to feel.'

'It's like my body is thrusting into these girls, I'm experiencing pleasure, but in the middle, there's some sort of disconnect."

Ryan noticed that he gained significantly less energy while having intercourse within the BCN. He could sense that he only acquired about a 10th of the normal amount, and with the way it made him feel as though he was being used, he preferred having women in the real world. Not this make-believe one.

'Just one more reason to take over the human empire and the Dawn Pavilion,' Ryan thought, shaking his head.

He also finally understood how much energy he gained from each session. 𝒇r𝙚𝙚𝓌𝙚𝑏𝗻𝑜𝘷𝗲𝘭.c૦𝑚

He usually would gain 1.25% of the energy required to rank up per climax with a non-harem member. However, he also had figured out his limit: he could only accumulate 10% of a rank in one day via his 'activities'.

Now that he was D-Rank, Ryan had 5,000 energy units assigned to his cultivation, and he needed 25,000 to rank up to C-Rank. He required 20,000 EU to rank up, meaning Ryan could gain 2,000 daily.

'I wonder how long this can last,' Ryan thought, realizing that if he spent a measly month, he could be at A-Rank. 'And by the time the wedding comes, I could be at SSS-Rank. But I doubt that the heavens will let it be so easy.'

Finished for the day, Ryan exited the BCN and arrived in his previous location inside the Dawn Pavilion.

As he was heading out, Ryan noticed a girl standing at the front of the Pavilion, no less than five years old. She had a mark on her hand that Ryan recognized as a slave seal, meaning she wasn't a paid slave. She was a fallen slave.

'What happened that a girl that young became a slave?' Ryan wondered. He suddenly thought of his unborn child inside of Zoey. 'What would happen if she was this girl.'

"Hey slave, what are you doing?" a fat greasy man who appeared to be her owner asked her from behind. The girl trembled with fear and started crying.

'Ryan, don't do it...'

"Hey, mister," Ryan said before he could stop himself.

Turning around the greasy man was about to blubber out an insult, but when he saw Ryan coming from the BCN section, he realized he was an enhancer.

"What can I do for you, oh esteemed one?" the man replied in a servile tone.

"That girl... is she yours?"

"Yes sir! Would you perhaps like her? She's not much to look at, but her mother was a good lay before she sold her for Hay money," he said.

'Poor girl, this Hay is probably a drug. I've seen a lot of bad things in my life while I was living on the streets, but selling your child for drug money...'

"How much?" Ryan asked, looking at the frightened girl who was as skinny as a twig.

"She has 200 years on her term so she ain't cheap..."

"Just give me your price, merchant," Ryan said, giving the man a look of warning.

Putting up his hands in mock surrender, the man said, "0.25 Heavenly Credits should do."

A cough came from Ryan's right and he turned, seeing a well dressed young noble lady who looked to be around 14.

"That's an awful price!" the young noble said, as she puffed out her non-existant chest.

Ignoring her Ryan said, "Sure."

"Did you not hear me? I said that was an awful price!" the lady who thought she owned the world said.

"Splendid! Let me call my assistant here, and we can complete the transaction," the fat man said.

'He must not be an enhancer and thus doesn't have a heavenly screen. On the other hand, I guess he deserves some respect for accomplishing so much without that. Or, most likely, his mother is someone,' Ryan thought, correcting himself.

"Are you just going to ignore me?" the girl said from behind Ryan, stomping her boots on the ground like an angry child.

"Sorry, kid," Ryan said, turning around. "I was talking with an adult."

"W-Why you!"

"Sophia," a man's call echoed through the pavilion from the entrance.

"Coming, father!" Turning toward Ryan, she clutched her fist and waved at Ryan, saying, "This isn't over!"

'Strange girl,' Ryan thought. Then, as he watched Sophia and her father, he noticed them enter a worn-down carriage, the same one plowing through the streets. 'Like father like daughter.'

"Esteemed sir, my partner is here," the fat merchant called behind Ryan.

Turning around, Ryan saw a well-dressed lady who seemed, rather than a partner, someone who facilitated such trades regularly.

"Edward, you know you're not allowed to keep calling me your partner. The guild will ban you if you keep it up," the lady spat.

Edward chuckled. "Well, I wouldn't mind being your partner anytime you wanted, Linda," Edward said as he licked his greasy lips.

Ignoring Edward's comment, Linda turned toward Ryan. "Are you the buyer?"

Seeing Ryan's nod, Linda waved her hand, and a prompt appeared.

Reading the terms, Ryan found everything in order but didn't immediately accept. Instead, he walked over to the lanky girl curled up in the fetal position in the corner.

"What's your name?" Ryan asked, squatting on his knees.

The girl looked at him but only shivered in response.

"Her name is Joy because she's always happy," Edward tried to say, but Ryan zoned him out as he looked at the girl.

'I saw something earlier, but where... Ah! There it is.' Earlier, when he had seen the little girl, he had coincidently had energy vision enabled. Of course, this girl wasn't 18, so she wasn't a cultivator, but Ryan's energy vision had gained the ability to see talents, and this girl's talent was off the chart.

'It's an SS-Ranked talent in... management?'

At first, Ryan had yet to see what the talent was in, only the overall rank. But unlike what one would expect when seeing talent in management, Ryan was ecstatic. 'This is exactly what I need!'

He could already picture the boosts to productivity and loyalty. The only problem is that he'd have to wait until she was 18. 'Always wait until they're 18...'

"She's a mute, isn't she?" Ryan asked, turning toward Edward.

"Uh," Edward stuttered, his face reddening as he fidgeted with his hands. "I don't know what you're talking about."

"Don't get me wrong. I'm still taking her. I just wanted her to know that I knew before I bought her," Ryan said, looking back at the girl.

The girl looked at Ryan with teary eyes and hugged his leg.

"Well, isn't that heartwarming," Edward said, his eyes sparkling from his profit.

'Thank goodness I ran into a fool today. I would never have gotten a copper for her otherwise,' Edward thought, rubbing his hands together.
