Genshin Impact: I Can Obtain Adventure EXP

She had only gone to prepare lunch for less than half an hour—so how did these two end up hugging each other already?!

Damn it! It must have been that guy, Nolan! He must have lured Amber to this secluded spot and forced himself on her!

Eula bit her lip, a look of displeasure flashing across her face.

She swayed her long maid-style skirt, the black stockings beneath clinging tightly to her legs, as she strode toward them.

She was ready to rescue her friend and teach Nolan a lesson for bullying her!

"Hey, Eula, wait!"

Seeing Eula approaching quickly, Amber wanted to warn her about the change in gravity in this area, but it was too late.

With Eula’s physique, suddenly enduring twice the normal gravity wouldn’t be a big problem—but her black high heels couldn’t handle the pressure.

Since she hadn’t had time to gradually adapt, the delicate heels, which were normally quite durable, suddenly snapped with a sharp crack the moment she stepped into the Gravity Training Field.

The abrupt increase in gravity startled Eula, and with her heel breaking at the same time, she completely lost her balance.

"Ahhh!"

She yelped in surprise, instinctively trying to steady herself.

But at most, she only managed to stumble a couple of extra steps before finally crashing forward—straight toward Nolan and Amber.

Thud!

Her full weight came down heavily, pinning both of them beneath her.

"Ugh... Waaah! Eula, you’re so heavy!"

Amber, stuck in the middle, felt like she was about to be squashed.

"Ah! Amber, are you alright?"

Eula quickly propped herself up, anxiously checking on Amber.

Seeing that her friend was unharmed, she let out a sigh of relief—before turning her sharp gaze toward the true culprit of this whole mess!

Nolan noticed Eula parting her lips, looking ready to scold him, and quickly shouted before she could:

"Hngh... Ow, ow, ow! I think my chest is about to cave in! Eula, hurry up and help us up, please!"

Eula glared at him, furious at his obvious act.

"You... are the worst!"

With a huff, she grabbed Amber and stormed off, completely ignoring the "lifeless corpse" of a man still lying on the floor.

Nolan sat up helplessly after restoring the gravity in the training field, watching their retreating figures.

Did I accidentally piss off Eula?

Was it because I got too close to Amber, and she got jealous?

...Well, it’s not entirely impossible.

After all, Eula cared deeply about Amber.

Guess I need to find a way to appease her...

Nolan rubbed his chin thoughtfully.

After a few moments, he stood up and made his way toward the main hall—he’d have to be a bit shameless for this one.

---

### Inside the Hall

Eula was sulking as she ate, still fuming in silence.

Amber sat beside her, not touching her food, as if waiting for Nolan to arrive and eat together.

Mona, having just come down from the research area, took one look at Eula’s expression and immediately understood what had happened.

"Weren’t you guys playing some kind of maid game? What happened? Did that guy, Nolan, bully you two?"

"Hmph! Don’t even mention that shameless man!"

Eula lifted her fair chin and swallowed her rice with an indignant huff.

Taking advantage of Amber while I was gone... and even ruining my shoes!

No way I’m forgiving him so easily!

"Haha... It’s not what you think, Eula..."

Amber didn’t know how to explain it.

Sure, Nolan had deliberately held onto her, but...

She didn’t actually mind that much.

There was no reason to let Eula get upset over it.

"Amber, you don’t have to defend him! That guy’s always like this—whenever he has free time, he finds ways to take advantage of us!"

Mona, her twin-tailed hair bouncing slightly, put down her bowl and spread her hands.

Hearing her comment, Nolan, who had just walked in, felt a twitch in his temple.

Tch... Guess I haven’t teased Mona in a while, and now she’s gotten bold, huh?

Looks like I’ll have to squish her a little.

With a swift stride, Nolan moved behind Mona before she even had time to react.

Then, he reached out and pinched both of her cheeks, tugging them up and down mercilessly!

"Mmph! Ugh, you—you bastard! Let go of me!"

Mona flailed, grabbing his wrists in an attempt to pry his hands off.

But no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t break free.

Her big, watery eyes darted desperately to Amber and Eula, silently pleading for help.

Pfft—!"

Amber couldn’t hold back and burst into laughter at Mona’s miserable expression.

Though she quickly composed herself, standing up and pulling out a chair.

She grabbed Nolan’s fingers, trying to pry them off Mona while scolding him:

"Alright, alright! Mona isn’t wrong—you really are like this! Why are you bullying her?!"

"Hmph, since you want to interfere, Amber, I guess I’ll have to punish you too! Today, I’ll teach you both how treacherous human nature can be!"

Nolan chuckled mischievously. Suddenly, he let go of Mona and turned to pinch Amber’s cheeks instead, kneading and stretching them.

"Ugh! Damn it!"

Amber hadn’t expected to be caught up in this as well. The Honorary Knight was too much!

"Honorary Knight..."

Eula furrowed her delicate brows as she watched Nolan bully Amber.

She straightened her legs and pushed back her chair, standing up.

"Hmph, looks like it’s time to settle some old grudges!"

She crossed her arms, kicked off her damaged high heels, and, with an ominous expression, strode toward Nolan.

"Ugh... Eula, save me!" Amber’s cheeks were burning from being pinched.

"Ahem! You agreed to be my maid for a few days, and now you’re trying to rebel? This is your punishment!"

Nolan used Amber as a shield, justifying his actions.

"Oh? A punishment, huh?"

Eula didn’t care about Amber being in the way. She took two quick steps forward and, in a surprise move, grabbed his cheeks!

Crap! Nolan immediately realized he was in trouble.

Sure enough, the next second, Eula used the same "kneading" technique on him!

"Ugh... can’t breathe..."

Forced to surrender, Nolan quickly let go of Amber and, in one swift motion, wrapped his arms around Eula’s waist instead.

"H-Hey! What are you doing?!"

A blush crept onto Eula’s pale cheeks, and her hands hesitated for a moment.

Being held like this by a man... it made her feel embarrassed.

Since he had already embraced her, Nolan decided to go all in.

His right hand slid down her back and firmly supported her plump thighs, lifting her off the ground as he carried her toward the sofa.

Eula instinctively wrapped her legs around his waist for support, causing the hem of her maid dress to slide up, revealing her toned thighs encased in sheer black tights.

Her face turned crimson.

She hurriedly tugged at her skirt, flustered and annoyed.

"You shameless, ill-mannered scoundrel! Put me down this instant!"

Ignoring her protests, Nolan gently set her down on the sofa and pinned her beneath him.

"You were sulking at me earlier, weren’t you? If you promise to forgive me and continue being my maid, I’ll let you go."

"Hah! You think you can blackmail me? Not a chance!"

Eula, furious and embarrassed, tried to push him away, her legs kicking at his calves.

But Nolan simply held her tighter, leaning in to whisper:

"If you don’t agree... then I’ll just keep holding you forever."

"I-Idiot! Don’t say such weird things!"

Her heart pounded, her mind a flustered mess.

Meanwhile, Mona smirked from the side.

"Honestly, Eula, your fate was sealed the moment you met him. Might as well just accept it and finish your meal."

Then there was no need to resist. Following him meant being... taken care of. Ahem—no, it meant receiving funding for research. That wasn’t bad either.

"Hmph! I’m not going to just let this guy have his way with everything!"

Eula frowned in disdain at Mona’s indifferent attitude.

"Alright then."

Mona sighed helplessly. Since Eula was so stubborn, she had no choice but to help her out.

As for how—well, the best way was to harass Nolan until he let go of Eula on his own.

Mona thought for a moment and then turned to Amber, who was also feeling quite frustrated.

"I know this guy’s weakness—he’s ticklish! In a moment, you go for his left underarm, and I’ll take the right. He definitely won’t be able to take it!"

She had discovered this during one of their nights together—when she accidentally brushed against his underarm, he instinctively flinched. That reaction clearly meant he was ticklish.

"Ohhh, so that’s it! I thought this guy wasn’t afraid of anything!"

Amber’s eyes lit up. This was the perfect chance to get revenge for all the bullying her friend had suffered!

Hearing their plan, Nolan instinctively swallowed. They had indeed found his weakness.

It wasn’t something he could train away—he had been ticklish ever since he was a child. It had nothing to do with physical strength; only sheer willpower could resist it!

"Damn it... Come at me then! I won’t lose to you two!"

Nolan steeled his resolve—no matter what, he wasn’t letting go of Eula!

What followed was pure agony. He had to endure the overwhelming sensation of Mona and Amber’s relentless tickle attacks, his expression contorted in pain.

Seeing him struggle, Eula finally smiled smugly.

"Yes, that’s it! Tickle this bastard to death! That’s what he gets for bullying us!"

"Yeah! Stupid Honorary Knight, just surrender already! Otherwise, we’ll keep going!" Amber declared excitedly.

"I won’t give in that easily!"

Nolan gritted his teeth, trying to find a way to distract himself and lessen the ticklish torment.

Then it hit him.

When he leveled up, a warm energy would flow through his body, strengthening his cells. That sensation was incredibly soothing.

He didn’t have enough Adventure EXP to level up right now, but investing points would still generate a similar warmth—just a smaller amount.

But it was enough to counteract the tickling!

Adventure EXP -1

Adventure EXP -1

Adventure EXP -1

Time passed—morning turned to afternoon.

Mona and Amber had been at it for ages, and now both were utterly exhausted. Yet, Nolan still hadn’t caved.

With no other choice, they finally gave up.

"Sorry, Eula. It’s been almost an hour, and our hands are cramping. Let’s take a break, eat something, and then we’ll deal with him later!"

"Hmph! You’re all still too inexperienced to defeat me!"

Nolan smirked confidently at them.

"Damn it! Don’t get cocky!"

Eula growled and pinched his cheek in frustration.

"Phew... I’ll admit, your tickling tactic was effective. If not for my unparalleled willpower, I might have actually surrendered!"

"But since I endured it for so long, it’s only fair that I get my revenge now!"

Nolan took a deep breath, then declared his counterattack.

"Revenge?"

Eula scoffed, raising her chin arrogantly.

"You think I’d be weak enough to fear something as ridiculous as tickling?"

"Oh? In that case... how about this?"

Nolan leaned in slightly, gazing into her eyes.

Then, without warning, he swiftly pressed his lips against hers.

The ice-blue-haired girl lying beneath him on the sofa widened her beautiful eyes in shock.
