Of course Bob knew that the reality of the blood bank and the insane days of Valentine Richést were still far off.
There was still much work to be done.
First of all, he had to wear in this new persona.
Accordingly, Bob began to practice splitting his consciousness utilizing Multiple Projection, studying and adopting Rizzian mannerisms of social and political elites, including signals of high value and status projection, and then programming the learned knowledge into the AI of the Valentine Richést 3d Avatar until Valentine literally became a walking talking Rizz Machine. Having begun to study many famous Rizzmasters including Blyatman and Robin, as well as Iron-ingMan, Bob noted that a lot of their weaknesses stemmed from the fact that they couldn't be in two places at the same time. With Valentine Richést to take over all the monotonous duties of being famous and all the other social and political stuff, Bob would be free to strategize, eat hotpot with Old Man Li without being mobbed by paparazzi, and put his plans into action empowered with freedom and autonomy.
At this point, Bob's Respect and Morals Talent had risen to Level 57, allowing him to start slowly researching and developing his sperm bank project, codenamed "Valentine's Vault", in a way that would be ethical and truly empowering for all involved. It wasn't there yet, but then again, all things had to start somewhere.
The main spanner in the works was still his genetic quality, which was still at the B+++++ stage, and also accruing enough resources to provide the best life for all the women and his children who would become part of the future of Humanity. He had to grow stronger, and increase his capital on all fronts.
Accordingly, he began to train harder than ever before. Old Master Li by now had entrusted him with the Third Vol. Of 'the Art of Rizz', and Sir Touchealot also gave him Vols. 1 and 2 of the Art of Touch to consolidate and build upon what Bob had already learned, again levelling up Bob's road-to-Gigachaddian game.
Now, a mere whisper and a single caress would cause most Janes and Emmas to experience running rivers of pleasurable shivers, to say nothing of Georgias and Denises who would immediately enter spasms of orgasms.
Nevertheless with great power 'comes' great responsibility, and accordingly, he learned to harness his potency, and after more practice, he was able to refine his control of his Rizz, the resultant micro-dosing allowing for longer durations of enjoyment for any prospective partner.
As for Money... the Become a Hero Co was going well, but Bob knew that to get access to real money and greater influence, he needed connections. This of course, was where Valentine would come in...

Meanwhile, Sally, whilst maintaining her elite Ice Queen training and continuing to be the world's darling starring in films, MVs, curing more illnesses, and achieving excellence in every field she cared to put her queenly attention to, also began to train her gift of ["All Nurturing Life"] and thanks to her newly unlocked Heavenly blessing, this had enhanced her affinity with plants, flowers, and nature in general. Sally had to be careful though, as directing even a single negative thought to a scrawnier plant could lead to compounding effects and cause it to wither, whilst channelling and amplifying positive energies would instead cause the plant to thrive and flourish.
Jasper meowed as he lazed in his favourite spot in the sun, and looked on with contentment seeing his favourite Owner diligently honing her gift. He could clearly see that, like the flowers she was growing, she was beginning to come into bloom herself, thanks to this regular healthy practice of communing with nature! well mostly healthy anyway...

*Rare footage from Daily Life of Ice Queen Sally's Plant Nurturing (cursed, read at own risk)*
Sally looked at several plants that were in pots on the windowsill.
Okay, let's see…
"Oh, You are… handsome." She said.
Immediately the plant grew up a few inches.
"I… think you're cute." *giggle*
The plant grew up 50 cms.
She then gave the plant a gentle stroke on its leaves, and the meaty trunk of the stalk immediately began to harden and... stiffen with strength and vitality.
"Wow, it's so… big now!" Sally gasped in surprise.
The plant was now looking more and more like it was a plant monster straight out of Jack and the Beanstalk x the Piranha from Super Mario.
She looked at the massive, girthy plant, and the small terracotta pot it was contained in, which was now starting to show some cracks.
"Would it still even fit?!?!"
She thought.
"Hmm… Sorry, I'm getting Letdown Leroy vibes, so it's over."
The plant immediately wilted, shrivelling into a dried, black, smoking husk.
This gift was powerful.
She would have to research this in more detail…
