The System In My Head

Spreading game addiction

As Ben and Olivia walk down the sidewalk, they ignore the passers-by, as they both focus on something: he's on what he's going to say, and he's on how to say it. It was a good thing as well because people sometimes stared at them, wondering why such a tall long-haired beautiful woman with such a short slub ...

As he reveals the truth, Ben's jaw falls lower and lower ...

It turns out that it was not Olivia who wanted to cheat, but she who had to cheat...

He describes the situation. "I have dyslexia, a condition I have suffered from since I was a child, and although it has improved over the years, it still brings me great discomfort in my studies. As a person striving for academic excellence, this has been my toughest challenge.Fortunately, in high school, I found a method to...

You see, from my youth, I always appeared capable and intelligent. As a result, during the test, even the smart kids sat by my side trying to trick me. In the end, I tricked them instead ... "

This information is so unexpected that Ben almost hit a metal light pole, almost hurt by irony ...

He continued. "In addition, many teachers, especially men, make the same assumptions about my abilities, raising my grades even at times when my results are mediocre. Combined with that, I find many boys eager to do my homework or projects at school. That's a fact I use to my advantage. Over time, this became my standard procedure, which I further developed, and even added ... "

Ben had already experienced his technique.and could guarantee its effectiveness...

Even so, he found this news shocking. 'Ace from fake OSIS!'

Despite having made the decision to tell her, it still surprised her that she did. However, the moment Olivia told the truth, it was as if a burden had slipped off her shoulders. Ben was not the first boy he believed in using his body, but he was the first to reject his seduction, and also the first he could not understand completely...

'So he's dyslexic...' Ben knew no one with the condition, and was unsure of the implications. 'No means no, but with him, does that mean: "it's on?"'

...

He needs to make sure. "Oh, that must be hard. Can you tell me more about your Dyslexia?"

Olivia frowned. "Now it's been better, but when I was a toddler, it caused a lot of misunderstandings. For example, my parents became distracted when during Christmas, they found me writing a letter to Satan."

...

He sighed. "That makes me a lot of trouble. That's why, in my youth, I hoped for a cure. Every night, I pray to the dog."

...

'Is he real?' Ben looked at her, and from his calm expression, he realized, he was ... 'No one has mastered the Dao of sarcasm to that extent ...'

Since that was the case, she accepted that this was a sensitive matter that bothered her, and she tried to make her feel better. "It's okay. Dyslexic people have accomplished some great things; just look at Yoda..."

She glanced at him but did not laugh, so she tried another dyslexic joke. "You know what they say. Even if you have dyslexia, you should do your best. When life gives you melons..."

He saw a mound. It was a double-layered joke ...

However, he still did not laugh... That's when Ben understood something: he not only suffered from dyslexia, but was also without humor, even becoming confused by metaphors. He now understood why the light mockery he had put in their previous conversation had shown no effect on him. Now this is a challenge...

After a while, he found something. 'He is very value-minded. Then...' Ben decided to play a little. "Well, it's a surprise, but thank you for telling me. You know, you won a point from me before when you said that you liked volleyball, because I also like the sport, and now, you get one more point for your honesty.. ."

Olivia gnashing. "I got two points?"

...

Ben nodded. "Of course, you got a C-now, pretty good! Oh, you also got two points for that... So C+, you did pretty well!"

...

Olivia felt a strange urge in her mind. Certain thoughts arise because of his compulsion to be the best. 'How can I get more points? How do I get an A?'

...

Ben uses advanced techniques that he hears from Beluga. He framed their interactions in such a way that he was the one trying to impress her. This puts him in a position of power. He is the judge! Ben turned it around from a typical situation where men were always trying to prove themselves to women. He's flipping the script!

She knew that according to the theory, if she kept this up, in her subconscious, Olivia would also start seeing their relationship like this, accepting that she was the one being tested. This is a powerful tool— called qualification. It was the process of luring a woman to qualify for her, trying to gain her acceptance. If she succeeds, Olivia's interest will increase, and it will even have a positive effect later on, on her comfort and passion, as she will find it more valuable than she is, due to higher status of judges.

In addition, there is another reason Ben adopted this method. It is an ancient holy book!

He learned from a digital drug dealer! Ben's selling a dopamine hit!

After giving Olivia that bonus, the effect was immediately noticeable.

[Current target attraction level: interested(+1)]

Ben made a small, hidden punch...

Soon, he even began to qualify himself for her, trying to bring about positive aspects about her. "I saw you living in the West Village freshman dormitory. I live alone in a studio inside Union Square."

Ben raised his eyebrows. "Oh, an apartment. I appreciate a girl who is independent. That's nice! You won the point again!"

His eyes showed a bit of fun ...

That's when Ben knew he had it. 'This new user is addicted to game element tags...'

When they reached the front of his dorm, his eyes flashed. 'How many points should I offer for something?'
