The Omnistore System

Chapter 116 Fast Progress

The trio continued chatting about their reasons for heading to Chernobog's Den and why Lydia, despite being a powerful cultivator, preferred staying in a peaceful environment like their current location. Lydia didn't provide a clear answer and simply mentioned her appreciation for the tranquility.

As they conversed, Kevin and Keith's ride arrived. It was a massive two-story bus named "The Vidar Cruise," primarily used for scenic tours in the Vidar Forest. This particular bus was the only one heading to Lucima City in the next two days. However, there was a problem – there was only one available seat. To secure that seat, Kevin had to pay three times the usual fare. Fortunately, he had enough funds to cover the cost, so the hefty price tag didn't bother him.

"Your ride's here," Lydia said.

Kevin nodded and gave Lydia a friendly pat on the back. "It's been cool hangin' with you, Lydia. If you ever find yourself in a bind, remember Lucima City. Catch me in the next four days if it's urgent, but otherwise, it'll have to wait a while."

He pulled her in for a brief, platonic hug and whispered playfully, "If it weren't for the audience, I'd give you a smooch with my tongue down your throat." this caught her off guard and suddenly a moan leaked her mouth as Kevin squeezed her butt. "I will really miss this squishy ass, goodbye old hag ."

"Hey, brat, who are you calling a hag?" Lydia playfully retorted but missed her chance to catch Kevin by the ear as he had already boarded the bus. She then turned to Keith, sharing a smile as they hugged.

"Send me lots of spicy stuff, alright? And if you ever feel bored, just hit me up, and I'll send you some of my own," Keith said, her voice warm.

Lydia chuckled and nodded, returning the hug. "Deal, and if you need any nature calls stuff, just give me a shout, and I've got you covered."

Keith smiled even wider as she heard Lydia's response. "That sounds awesome. See you soon!" With a wave and a cheerful goodbye, they both left the bus stop, leaving the older woman standing there. Lydia watched them go with a hint of longing in her eyes as she muttered to herself, "I'm already feeling horny again."

"Should have gone with them." She muttered in a sad tone.

While Keith simmered with anger, they sat in the cabin-like bus seat, with Keith perched on Kevin's lap, gazing out the window. Kevin tried to smooth things over once more, saying, "Come on, don't stay mad. I did apologize, didn't I?"

Keith remained irritated. "Saying sorry doesn't change the fact that I wanted a comfortable seat to relax and maybe sleep. Now I'm stuck in your lap, and who knows what you'll do if I doze off," she retorted, still upset.

"Stop kidding around. You and I both know that if I wanted to do something lewd with you, I'd do it regardless of whether you stopped me. Just get comfortable," he said, gently pressing Keith against his chest, causing her to lean against it.

"What are you doing? Stop it... Someone might see us," she protested with a flustered expression as Kevin rested her head on his chest and placed her legs in his lap. The cabin and chair were spacious enough for Kevin to sit comfortably with Keith in his lap, and he made sure she was seated comfortably.

He asked, "Now, are you comfortable?" while looking at Keith's blushing face. She snuggled into Kevin's embrace, finding it quite comfortable, and nodded in agreement.

"Then sleep and let me, too," Kevin said as he closed his eyes.

Keith's thoughts raced, confused by the situation. She pondered, 'What does he think he's doing? If I were his girlfriend, he wouldn't be making me sit like this... How can he do this?' She was both frustrated and strangely comfortable with the situation, a whirlwind of emotions in her mind.

As Keith scolded Kevin for causing her frustration, Kevin was engrossed in checking his status.

Kevin checked out his status this time, and it was like, whoa, big changes. He made some major gains in his cultivation today. You see, he got all pumped up by doing the deed with Lydia, a way more powerful cultivator than him. He unlocked a whopping 123 meridians and linked them all. Lydia deserves a big shout-out here because she was orgasming left and right during their romp—like, 8 times while Kevin was in her. Some credit also goes to the girl in his lap, who got a power boost by unlocking 15 meridians and connecting the ones that weren't linked before, all thanks to Kevin orgasming in her.

Kevin pondered as he observed his own skills. 'Well, setting that aside, my Yin Rising Hands may not work on these cultivators due to their superior power, but their proficiency is definitely increasing,' he mused. His Yin Rising Hands and Lust Aura weren't as effective on cultivators, except for Maria, who had responded quite well.

While thinking about his skills, he recalled Venice and thought, 'She'd be an excellent candidate for experimentation. I'm guessing she's unlocked about three or four Extraordinary Vessels by now. It might not give me a huge boost, but it should be enough to experiment with these skills on her.'

Kevin reflected on the cultivation technique he had given Lydia just a week ago. He didn't expect too much progress from her at this point. Without the cultivation resources he provided, she might have only opened a single meridian. As for his own cultivation speed, it was far from ordinary. Even when compared to geniuses in the city, his progress was exceptional. Keith had started cultivating at 17 and, at 26, had just reached the first meridian, opening only around 200 of them, assuming she was telling the truth.

This rate of progress was already considered well above average. Kevin, on the other hand, had started only a month ago and had already opened 123 meridians. However, he knew he needed to slow down a bit. While fast progress was good, he had to get used to the power that came with it, or he might just become a brute.

'well it's not like I am alone.' Kevin's thoughts shifted as he considered others in a similar stage. He recalled a red-haired girl around his age, according to Keith. She was also at the meridian-linking stage.
