The System In My Head

Is that attraction?

Beluga praised Antonio. "That's pretty good... There's something a little strange at the end, but people don't judge stories just by the end of the story, right? Nice work!"

Ben thought, 'Finally it's important... If it sucks, people won't read the story.' Then he realized a strange truth: it didn't apply to most of the web novels he read... 'As long as it is more than 100 chapters and does not end with a pause...'

Beluga looked at Ben. "That is the power of the peacock. Did you see how the females played with Antonio's fur? That's the topic of conversation. Peacock items also make it look unique and attractive. Getting attention is important. Alright. I'll show you another example myself."

Beluga. Scanning around like an eagle, he identified three cute girls on the grass beneath the hill where he stood. He adjusted his hat to the perfect angle. Then, with a grin that exuded confidence, he walked on the grass towards his target. Each step contained supreme arrogance. There are rhythms in his movements, such as the bass beats of a catchy funk song streaming flavor and flash. Each forward movement built up his momentum until he became unstoppable. That's when Beluga's eyes came out.

He looked down. His feet were now behind him as his face approached the grass.

He tripped over a rock.

Funk becomes death metal!

Julia enjoyed a lovely afternoon. He hasn't seen his two girlfriends for months. They were chasing and enjoying a beautiful picnic when he heard the screams and looked to his right. A gigantic purple ball of doom rolled towards them at a terrifying speed! "Lhhhhh!" The three girls fled like fleeing cattle!

Hit it!

Beluga rising from the ground. He removed the grass clippings from his mouth and clothes as he looked around. Sandwiches were strewn all over the beautiful picnic he had destroyed. Shrugging his shoulders, he picked up a sandwich and ate as he returned to the top of the hill, continuing his haughty footsteps.

The previous scene had left Ben and Antonio dumbfounded. They stared with their jaws hanging down until the Beluga managed to return to their position.

Beluga raised his chin high. "You see that? That's how you get attention. The women even left me homemade sandwiches to show their appreciation."

...

Next, it's Ben's turn. This time Beluga gave him some normal lines. Ben also feels these lines have more potential. Excited, he started working.

Soon, he saw a difference! Even though the women still rejected him, they were much more polite about it! At the very least, his face was still dry and slap-free!

Is that growth? This is growth!

Even the smallest increment is interesting when you start from the bottom!

Several times, his response was even lukewarm!

Ben felt there was room to continue the conversation. The problem was that he didn't know what to say! As a result, the interaction ended with him stuttering or staring blankly.

Ben's back in Beluga. "What should I say after the opening?"

Beluga stroked his chinstrap beard. "The initial phase is about building traction. That should be your focus."

"Pull-rich?" ask Ben.

Beluga explained. "You have to attract a woman before anything else. That's the first big hurdle. Only then will he be interested enough in you to consider something romantic. If a woman is not interested, you will waste your time, because the best case scenario is friendship."

On the word friendship, Beluga and Antonio showed faces of fear. It was the dreaded friend zone!

"What types of things affect and increase attractiveness?" ask Ben.

Beluga answered. "The obvious ones are more universal things like appearance, social status, and charm. Then there are specific factors, which some women may prefer over others, such as the same hobbies, intelligence, how articulate you are, how manly you are. The influence of specific factors can vary depending on the type of woman. Universal factors can also vary in the type of woman, but not that much. For example, a male model will appeal to most women."

Ben thought, 'Didn't he describe my system statistics? Appearance is appearance. I think charm is the same as charisma. Then there is knowledge, virility, etc.'

Beluga speaking. "Please take it like this. The previous attributes I mentioned became the basis of interest. When a woman sees you for the first time, she will find some things that look like you look. Others may only find it through talking to you or others about you, such as social status, intelligence, etc. When you add all the characteristics, it creates a base of interest. If your baseline is high enough, you will instantly attract the attention of women!"

He continued. "Why do men do things like go to the gym, get a high-status job, get rich, and many other things? The main reason is to increase this attraction with women! Although gaining an advantage in this area takes a long time, even our pick up artists realize the value in developing it. Raising the baseline is important because it makes things easier.Of course, if the interest remains and depends only on those factors, then what's the point of us picking up artists ? Our speciality is the last part in the attractions, and also the most important— seducing skills!"

It caught Ben's attention. "What is a seducing skill?"

Beluga smile. "Appeasement skills are a way to increase attractiveness in no time! Even if your baseline is 0, with perfect seduction skills, you can skyrocket the appeal to the top! You can get any woman you want!"

Ben gasps. He had only heard of such a thing in legends! At that time, he received a system alert.
