The System In My Head
Seductively
When he spoke to the woman, Ben immediately realized the difference. The words flowed from his mouth like water, his voice sounded smoother, and even his body felt more comfortable!
As Ben delivered the opener and joke, the woman responded well. He giggles!

Nothing better than points! Ben didn't even mind the vague humiliation of the system in the title of achievement! He had enough money to buy the Mystery Box, but he would keep it for later. Now, he had to focus on the current opportunity.
If he could raise the level of interest this girl became interested in, then he would probably get his phone number!
Ben remained chatting with the girl for a few minutes, but the atmosphere turned awkward. Although his communication status was higher, he was still too lacking in experience and conversation topics. After some time, he excused himself and walked away, leaving Ben standing there in frustration.
He shook his head. 'It's okay. This is already a massive increase.' He returned to Antonio and Beluga. They also observed that Ben had done much better and encouraged him.
Ben explains to Beluga how good the joke is, but he needs more ingredients to increase the appeal.
Beluga said, "The best joke is the specifics of the situation. Not only will it be the most relevant, but they will show your intelligence in adapting to the situation. Women will catch on to that and become more interested ... I Can Give You a Fish, but it is better to teach You how to fish. So instead of giving you a joke book, I suggest you try making a seductive-style joke in place to build traction."
"Tempting?" ask Ben. He understood the general meaning of the word, but did not specifically do so.
Beluga replied, "Tempting is to make a light joke that targets women. You choose some item or attribute of hers: clothes, accessories, tattoos, something about her body or hair ... Then you make a joke about it, making fun of him in a subtle way."
"Hmmm.I understand. I'll try it" Ben said. Despite his inexperience, he found a boost in communication improved his creative thinking skills. It makes it easier to generate conversational ideas. He braced himself to try it.
Ben approached a woman who was stretching after jogging.
'The 'body part, ' he reminded himself.
"Hey beer belly!"
***
As Ben walked back, Beluga and Antonio shook their heads violently. Ben knew it wasn't good. He moved on to a new girl to try again.
'Clothes, ' he said to himself.
"What are clown shoes!"
...
'Let's try a different accessory.' He adjusted the material.
"I love your Raccoon hat!"
...
He climbed back up with****** his new-new-mark a red slap on his face. "That's her hair?!?Who knows?!? Why doesn't anything work!" Ben shouted to the sky.

'I even got points for that?' Ben glanced back at the woman he had just spoken to. His strange brown hipster haircut framed his eyes, as his eyes stared intently at him. Behind the evil... Ben only sees more malice, and a desire to commit a crime.
He ran back to Beluga and Antonio, occasionally glancing over his shoulder to ensure that he was not tracked.
Upon Ben's return, Beluga looks at him with a newfound respect. He didn't know if this kid would succeed in becoming a pick-up artist, but he was very good at cursing and offending people. This is talent!
Beluga explains to Ben where his mistake was. "You're doing too much. The whole point of ridicule is to be playful and charming, not insulting. There is a spectrum between boring and rough. Choose something that is not sensitive. The temptation should be funny, which helps loosen things up."
He continued, "Your body language is also important to relieve tension. Come in with a casual, playful tone and a light grin to let them know you're playing around... Okay, let's try something a little different. Approach some women and think of a famous person they have a faint resemblance. Open them up by jokingly asking if they are that person.
"...Okay, I can do it" Ben replied. He saw another woman staring at the lake in the distance.
As he got closer to her, he discussed his plans. 'Famous people...I-i understand. Don't forget to grin lightly.'
Ben is a quick learner. His body language and tone of voice harmonize in perfect harmony. He remembered to speak in a carefree and pleasant manner. He did everything Beluga said. Thats perfect. "Are you Hitler?"
***
Ben rationalizes it to Beluga. "His short hair looks like Hitler's hair!"
"He's committing genocide! No homicidal maniac for f * ck! Choose someone without crimes against humanity!" scream Beluga.
...
Ben looked over and exchanged thoughts. "What about ear genocide? Is Miley Cyrus out?"
