RISE OF EROS

Chapter 194: CHAPTER 193

Andrew as a candidate for the god of Eros had to focus on sex and eroticism, but that did not apply to his wives.

For some time now, Andrew had noticed that he would need large amounts of money to accomplish his goals and since the system provided him with some skills somewhat distant from his affinity such as beauty product recipes and clothing designs, he had thought he could open an alternative business.

Certainly, he had already begun to exploit these skills, but he was always limited, as he could only produce a limited amount of these items and could not teach them in their entirety either, but with Carolina's ability this was no longer the case.

Since this ability was born of his divinity, although not 100%, Carolina should be able to better grasp the process of making these items from observing Andrew and that would increase his production.

In short, Andrew was already planning to turn Carolina into a master craftswoman. While he was thinking about all this, Carolina managed to wriggle out of his embrace and angrily asked, "Why the sudden madness?"

Carolina's scolding snapped Andrew out of his fantasy world and seeing his wife angry, he smiled sheepishly, while touching the back of his neck in obvious discomfort.

Regaining his composure, he apologized to Carolina and after sitting down, began to explain the situation. Carolina was more surprised than Andrew with the news.

She already knew this could happen, but like Andrew, she didn't expect it to happen so quickly. When Andrew finished explaining and telling her about his intentions, Carolina was overflowing with joy.

She didn't show it, but she was feeling more and more helpless. Certainly, she was in charge of negotiating purchases and the logistics of the establishment, but with Victor's uprising, she noticed that she could be replaced.

Helena had her experience as a courtesan to train the girls at the Heavenly Palace and Aki was an intelligence agent with combat capabilities, so Carolina felt that lately she only existed to have sex with Andrew.

Although she enjoyed that and knew Andrew wasn't going to abandon her for this, she didn't want to become just a means for Andrew to win points, so this new ability made her cry with joy.

Andrew seeing Carolina crying, was frightened, as he thought the girl was against his plans and quickly went over to comfort her. Carolina noticed Andrew's concern and knew he had misunderstood her.

"I'm not against it, I'm not crying about it," Carolina said holding back her tears and dulling a slight smile trying to reassure the nervous Andrew. "So?" asked Andrew not believing her.

Carolina sighed heavily and sitting up straight began to tell Andrew about her insecurities, "I've been feeling useless lately because the only thing I'm good at is not really necessary, Victor can easily take my place and I don't want to be useless".

Andrew listened patiently until she finished and hugged her as he said, "Silly girl, as my wife you don't have to worry about silly things like that."

Even though he had said that he knew there was no way she would accept being treated like a flower vase wife. Andrew knew Carolina very well. Since she had come to the Heavenly Palace she had always been proud and diligent in her work and those characteristics had not weakened.

For that reason, he knew that Carolina wanted to be useful, so after his words of comfort, he said nothing more but just hugged her tightly. After a few seconds they broke the hug and seeing that Carolina had calmed down, they began to talk about how to take advantage of this new ability.

"Well, while it is a great ability, it has its limitations and will only get stronger through your effort and my divinity," Andrew began. Although a bit sugarcoated, Carolina understood what Andrew meant.

Simply put, her ability only allowed her to learn faster than normal, therefore, she had to strive to learn as much as she could. Also, since she needed Andrew's divinity to improve the potency of her ability she had to have a lot of sex with Andrew.

With that understood, Carolina decided internally, she would be more proactive about sex with Andrew. She was of his three wives the most serious and reluctant to have sex constantly, but now that she knew her ability, she threw her sense of morality out the window and decided to take advantage of every moment she could with Andrew.

Andrew ignorant of Carolina's inner decision continued, "Let's test the limits of your ability first," he paused and continued, "Let's go to the lab and see how much you can withhold from watching me do alchemy."

Carolina strongly agreed and followed Andrew to the lab. Once in the lab, Andrew took the materials needed to create the birth control pills and began to prepare the recipe.

Andrew went into a state of autopilot. Without hesitation and great fluidity, he began to throw the materials into the cauldron in front of him. This product did not require any special elements such as magic or other special energy.

Only the quantities of products, the temperature of the fire, and the times at which the materials were thrown had to be controlled. Although it seems simple, it had its complexities, because controlling the fire and calculating the exact time in which the materials were thrown was not as simple as it seemed.

Added to this was the fact that Andrew moved with great speed and without stopping, however, surprisingly Carolina did not miss any detail. Since her ability came from Andrew's divinity, she was able to fully learn the entire process of refining this recipe.

When Andrew finished he regained his normalcy and asked, "Tell me, were you able to grasp the process?" to which Carolina smilingly replied, "Completely." Carolina's absolute answer confused Andrew, as he knew it was not possible to capture the entire process 100%.

However, before he could raise his doubt, Fuffly spoke in his mind, "Master, Carolina's ability is a divine ability. Although it is not a very powerful one, it is divine, so it is normal for her to grasp the process smoothly."

Andrew was about to shout in elation, when Fluffy threw a bucket of cold water on him, "Although she was able to grasp the whole process, theory and practice are two different things."

"What do you mean?" asked Andrew immediately, having a bad feeling, but Fluffy's answer was not as tragic as he had imagined.

"She can understand the theory easily, but performing the procedure will take a while." Andrew understood what Fluffy said. In short Carolina's ability was limited to her brain, she could grasp the theory, but she would not be able to reproduce it immediately.

Still with this limitation, knowing the theory was already a pretty big starting point and that didn't worry him. "Well, as I understand your ability, you grasp the theory, but you must practice diligently to get the result, so I will show you how to make the other products so you learn the process, and then you will practice to master them."

Carolina understood what Andrew meant, so she diligently focused all her attention on him to learn every last detail. Andrew went back on autopilot and began to refine the vitality drink, the rejuvenating cream, and the tissue repair cream.

Once he finished demonstrating the refining process he asked Carolina if she understood everything and getting her affirmation he left her alone in the lab to practice until she reached perfection.
