Chapter 152 - Starting from the Willy
Sitting on his bed, with only rewards to collect now, Ben decided to follow his usual decision-making game plan, by starting from the Willy...
Opening up his Flags screen, he found a new glowing flag of Japan. Clicking on it, he prepared for the arrival of the chocolate ball from hell.
*Whoosh*
With trepidation, Ben watched Willy’s summoning and transformation... A short while later though, he eased his tense muscles when it was much calmer today. As Willy appeared and enlarged, there was a significant reduction in ghoulish howling and demonized faces than usual. ’Maybe he’s growing fond of me.’
That’s when a demon anaconda reached out for Ben’s head!
Diving to the ground on the side, he avoided the thing by mere inches!
Ben stared up in horror! At 3 feet long and 1 foot wide, it stretched out Willy’s black skin as it shrieked! It wasn’t until some repulsive force started pulling it back inside that Ben started breathing again... With great reluctance to leave, it’s head turned to him, and snarled! Baring jagged teeth!
Sweat formed on Ben’s face as the thing disappeared. Yet, instead of relaxing, his heartbeat sped up as he realized something. That wasn’t an anaconda... ’Its head was mushroom shaped!’
That was a C*ckaconda!
...
Backing far away into the corner, Ben stayed as far as possible from Willy, not daring to relax until he finished morphing into the wheel of fortune, his steady form...in a relative sense. ’This manic-depressive bastard is impossible to deal with...’ Ben cursed. ’The bigger issue though, is why the system keeps sending c*ck creatures! Does it live in a d*ck dimension?!?’
For a system pushing him to pick up women at the threat of death, it sure liked throwing sinister sausages his way...
Ben took a couple of minutes to adjust his mentality. Then, like a stripper paying off her tuition, he gained motivation by reminding himself he was doing it for the loot...
Soon, he stepped up to the wheel, and made his spin using the active Japanese flag.
*Whirrr*
A short while later...the pointer stopped on a drawing of an anatomical male body...
Ben shook his head. "I refuse to meet him!"
...
It was fortunate for Ben that soon, that drawing didn’t turn into a person, but a light blue book, dropping on the floor as Willy began to disappear. Watching the black ball shrink, Ben switched his title and put his hands up. He was ready to uppercut any p.e.n.i.saurus rex that dared come out...
A few seconds later when Willy vanished, Ben exhaled and lowered his arms. He was the last manhood standing...
Approaching the book, he picked it up. "Please don’t be a saga of sausage summoning..."
[Elementary Body Language Reading(Skill Book, Fine) x1]
"Hmmm..." He opened the system description of the skill.
[Elementary Body Language Reading(Skill, Fine) - Passive skill. Lowest level of body language interpretation. May help to understand people’s intentions, feelings, and thoughts. Due to the low level, may lack accuracy and only be useful in certain conditions]
’A passive skill...’ This was the first one Ben saw. All his skills so far were active skills which made him wonder how it would be different.
"It seems useful..." Although he wasn’t sure how effective this skill would be considering the described limitations, being aware of people’s thoughts appeared helpful whether hitting on women or doing other activities. In fact, body language was an area that often came up when Ben studied motivational speaking. It was important in understanding how people responded to you, so you could better influence them.
He’d seen many books on the topic. Yet, he didn’t dive into the subject because it wasn’t useful at the time for his presentation. It was a skill he saw great potential in though. As such, choosing to learn it was a double no-brainer...
[Would you like to learn Elementary Body Language Reading(Skill Book, Fine)?]
Ben chose yes and brought his hands to cover his butt. ’Never forget...’
When the book turned into a light ball...it was calm and gentle though, going straight into the center of his forehead, entering his hot-tub of consciousness...
Closing his eyes, Ben reviewed the new information in his mind. Since this was a passive skill, he was curious what the differences would be between it and his active skills like Squirtle Hydro Pump, Kegal Contraceptive Switch, and Divine Line Generator. To use any of those, he needed to activate them with his thoughts.
He soon learned that with the body language knowledge, there wasn’t any such mechanism. What was different was the presence of new information: certain positions of people’s bodies, mannerisms, facial expressions, and what all those things meant in various cases. However, the information was general, and Ben didn’t think he possessed an absolute grasp of it.
He felt like he could gain a similar level of knowledge on this topic by reading a series of books or watching a set of instructional videos, then practicing them over a couple of months. It was about what he expected from an elementary level skill, but that satisfied him because it wasn’t easy gaining so much progress in a flash. In addition, if he could do this with one skill book, he could do it with another. As long as he didn’t die, he believed he’d get higher level skill books which would be even more effective.
Regarding this body language information, Ben absorbed it with efficiency, but as to how well he could apply it in actual situations, that was up to his awareness. He would need to test it.
In any case, he could tell the knowledge would be useful in many circ.u.mstances, provided that he applied it in the proper way.
With his Willy out of the way, Ben could now focus with a clear mind...
He took out the next thing on the agenda.
[Booty Chest(Consumable, Rare) x1 - Drops one object of guaranteed associated quality]
Like Annabelle and Katie, Miyuki’s chest was also silver, which made Ben smile when he saw it, even more than when he nutted...
As he opened it, he made a guess about what would emerge, and he soon verified that to be correct...
[Strength Potion(Consumable, Rare) x1 - Physique is important in bed. Drink this to permanently increase your strength a bit. Brewed by the Perverted Divine Alchemist]
"As I suspected..." It was a glass tube of red liquid again, the same strength potion he’d drank before, but an item Ben always appreciated receiving.
’The question is...will the effects stack?’ The system didn’t give him an answer, leaving Ben to try it on his own. ’If they do, these potions will become the key to developing my foundation--the secret to being a xianxia MC that jumps levels...’
Though, If they didn’t, it would be a great waste of his booty chests, since they dropped them so often.
"Only one way to find out." Popping open the top, Ben downed the liquid in one move, knowing the effects from having used it before. However, he soon realized he’d been wrong! ’What’s going on?!?’
Piercing pain attacked his entire body! Sweat formed on his face as his teeth clenched!
"AHHH!" He roared in anguish!
Out of control, he started shaking! Something went wrong!
