"Hmph... you know that I wasn’t able to go to work, right?" Lyra said, throwing a mischievous stare at him.

"Ahem... too bad."

"Fufu... it’s really too bad... we need to go to the Nekoball first. Maybe they got your match game prepared, so we want to know everything. Even a tiny bit of information will greatly help us."

Alice spoke with a serious tone.

Her expression changed instantly. Playfulness faded. Strategy returned.

Quinn’s life was definitely on the line here, so they could not have fun and do the deed for now.

"Hmnnn, that’s not a bad thing, but I got something for you, Alice. Give me your hand."

Alice obliged and opened her small cute palms.

Quinn then handed down the cores from the beasts and beings he had killed.

The cores rested in her palm... three marble-sized cores, glowing faintly.

"Fufu... so you wanted to give me this core? Why would you do that?" Alice looked at the three cores carefully.

"I can’t use it in such normal way, that’s why I’m giving these to you... I’ve already handed down Lyra the same tier like that, and it did help her elevate her powers..."

"Fufu... then I won’t reject this gift from you."

"Quinn... can you also do it just like we did last time?" Lyra asked, quite curious to know if something like that was possible.

"Yes... I can use it too. I want to let her absorb these cores in the same manner we did."

"Fufu... what are you talking about now?"

"We’ll see... now let’s change our location first and head over to the sofa."

....

"Okay... show me your back, Alice, and give me those cores."

"Fufu... okay~"

Lyra kept giggling as she looked at her confused expression.

’Hehe... I’m sure Alice will get shocked again!’

Well, she had a playful side too! Her mischievous act surely brightened up the day.

"Now close your eyes, Alice... I really hope that you can absorb some of it."

"Fufu... don’t worry about that. Tier 3 cores are useful to me! Not to mention an elite core like this hunched pit core."

Without waiting any further, Quinn channeled everything just like he had with Lyra.

Fwoosh!

Energy surrounded both Quinn and Alice as the core was slowly drained... it was really shocking to see this kind of thing every time!

The awe Lyra felt right now was so immense.

’Is this what also happens when a body absorbs the cores? It’s really magical to see this kind of thing!’

Lyra could see the dust-like particles floating and swirling around them, slowly finding their way into Alice’s body.

The cores started crumbling and cracking as time passed before finally turning into dust, dissipating into the void!

Alice controlled the power coursing into her body like a tide, trying to calm down the massive boost she hadn’t expected to happen!

This kind of thing hadn’t happened before! She also knew that absorbing such cores took time. But what Quinn was doing now was definitely beyond normal!

’How is Quinn doing mind-boggling things like this?! I really don’t know what’s happening anymore!’

Her mind was full of anticipation. Getting this kind of permanent boost in just minutes, or even seconds, was definitely not something anyone could do! Not even the Great Nekoball she knew could do that kind of thing!

Yet Quinn was dropping new bombshells on her every single time!

Alice stabilized everything as she closed her eyes. Quinn had already opened his, looking with anticipation at what kind of super boost Alice would gain... just maybe Alice could gain that monstrous skill Blink used!

That skill was definitely a terror on its own! It was one of a kind, and at the same time, they were using the same weapon, making the synergy impossible to miss!

Maybe the already monstrous Alice would become even stronger!

Fwoosh...

Minutes passed as the dust-like particles started to disappear. Just like Lyra, Alice wasn’t able to absorb everything, and the rest disappeared into the void.

’So Alice couldn’t absorb everything... then surely Lyra’s situation is the same too... System, why did something like that happen?’

Quinn wanted to try his luck... just maybe the System would give him some answers.

Ting!

[Stabilization of the Evolved Talent Core]

[After stabilization the bonded will gain everything...]

’This is a new thing for sure! Even the System gave me an answer now!’

Quinn contemplated what the System said.

Most of the concentrated power from the cores...or simply the essence of the cores, could not be absorbed because of a lack of capacity to store it all. It wasn’t because the newly evolved core was useless, but because it was still trying to stabilize within the bodies of both Lyra and Alice.

So, if both of them could fully stabilize their talent cores... draining all of the concentrated power would be possible, making it much less wasteful!

Though it really wasn’t a bad thing! They could just wait for the core to stabilize, and then they could devour and absorb everything without any problems!

"How are you feeling... Alice?" Quinn asked, looking at her with anticipation.

"I really don’t know how you do so many surprising things, but... this is definitely one of the best! I don’t know how, but I feel like I’ve gained an enormous amount of power after what you’ve done!"

"Then... that’s a good thing."

"Fufu... I don’t have a better way to say it anymore." Without Quinn noticing, Alice lunged forward and kissed Quinn on the mouth! A truly wild, sudden attack from the slutty MILF herself!

"Hey! Don’t leave me out!" Lyra shouted, as she lunged forward too! 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

Smooch... smooch...

Alice gave way and separated her mouth for Lyra to take a turn! Well, she was understanding... that was a good thing!

The whole kissing session lasted for minutes before they felt satisfied.

"Fufu... I hope that’s a good payment, right?"

"No, no, no... it’s not enough! I think you two will face a hard battle tonight!" Quinn said, fondling the tits of Lyra and Alice.

Lyra covered her mouth, not wanting her moan to slip out.
