Chapter 213 Mind over splatter

Ben, Antonio, and Chuck watched as Beluga opened a stunning redhead inside the crowded club, as they all thought similar things.

'Come on, that's too much right. That girl's supermodel quality…'

'Even if he's got skills, that chick's too beautiful…'

'Will anyone know it's me if I fart here?'

…

Ben looked around with thin eyes, before releasing a slow exhale full of relief…from two places.

…

He smiled, knowing the crowd would obfuscate the source of the airborne toxic event…

It would remain hidden, along with his secret talent as an airbender…

However, he like the others, also thought Beluga was biting off more than he could woo.

1 minute later though, when the gorgeous girl started asking Beluga questions with enthusiasm, their faces began to change.

3 minutes later, when he put his arm on her waist and she smiled, their eyes widened.

5 minutes later, when they started making out, their jaws were on the floor!

What the sh*t was this?!? None of them ever got a number from such a top-quality beauty! Let alone made out with her! And in a place like this among so many alphas?!? In only 5 minutes?!? How?!?

This was reality! Not a game! So how'd Beluga turn it into World of Porkcraft?!?

…

A few minutes later, they watched him get her number as he returned to the three f*cketeers…

Right away, they couldn't hold back their questions.

"How?!?"

"What's the secret?"

"Can I get sloppy seconds?!?"

…

Beluga chuckled at them. "I told you boys, it's all about believing in yourself. You have to understand something--our perceptions shape our world. If you accept that, and make your mindset, self-belief, and confidence unshakeable, then other people won't ever be able to shake you either! Females will find it attractive! Men will get out of the way!

It'll shine through in your interactions! In your body language! In your words! Sh*t tests will deflect off you naturally! Others will bend to your will!

This is the top confidence shared by many of the world's most successful people; leaders like Steve Jobs who could make the impossible happen. The name of this technique--is the reality d*ckstortion field!"

...

Ben squinted at this. 'Really? The name sounds a bit ridiculous. Just call it what we all know it is--ruler's haki...'

Yet, whatever they called it, to the three youngsters listening, they couldn't deny its extreme appeal.

Beluga concluded his thoughts. "Remember, no one can shape your reality but you, and it starts in the mind. If you come from a place of supreme confidence, you'll be unbeatable. Then, even if you fail sometimes, it'll only be temporary--building towards your inevitable success. That'll be your foundation.

When you talk to a female, that confidence will support you like a mountain, making her realize she can't phase you, and women desire such a steady man. After all, most of them live floating within a sea of emotions. So what they want most is a man who can serve as a lighthouse, to tie their boat to and guide them.

When a woman realizes you have that potential, she'll either have to succumb to your will if she wants to attach her shaky ship, or leave to sail into the stormy sea. If she passes, it'll be her loss though, since in the end, a ship needs a lighthouse, but a lighthouse doesn't need a ship, and there's no shortage of females out there. Plus, she'll get scurvy."

…

Ben thinned his eyes. "Scurvy, huh? I thought you've never told a joke in your life. What happened to that?"

Beluga gave him a side glance. "It's called a metaphor, Benjamin. Read a book."

...

Ben raised an eyebrow. "Do light novels count?"

"No." Beluga shook his head in disappointment.

Ben sighed... Then, when he joined the other two juniors to ponder over everything that was said, the redhead beauty from before came over, kissed Beluga on the cheek to say goodbye, and left.

Observing this, Chuck swallowed. "Where's she going?"

Beluga watched her walk away. "She has a photo shoot in the morning, so needed to leave early."

Seeing this girl's shapely backside, Ben was the first to want to try applying Beluga's uber-confidence. "Let me give it a shot."

He scanned the club until finding a tall raven-haired girl by the bar, who looked like an actress. Although Ben gained a lot of experience in opening women until now, the quality here was without a doubt of a higher standard; so much so that his heart sped up in nervousness, something that hadn't happened before an approach for some time.

Gulping, he reminded himself to be confident. Then, his face became firm, and he walked over to her, thinking reassuring thoughts on the way:

'You're the man now, dog…'

'You're The Duke of New York, A-Number-1…'

'They're gonna have to call in the national guard to take me out, cause I ain't going nowhere!'

...

As he continued thinking positive affirmations, with each step, Ben's body relaxed further, until his anxiety...disappeared...

When he reached the girl, the confident mindset proved its effect, even putting an extra pep in his step. Using an assertive opener that's worked for him in the past, he delivered the line with perfection. 'Beluga was right, my delivery was smoother than ever! If I push past the anxiety and come from a place of confidence, it really makes a difference!'

Yet, reality didn't always play with the balls...

As soon as Ben finished his opener, he received an unexpected system alert.

[You've failed the Value Test - the target's value is too high relative to yours. Attraction is impossible. Approach failed]

[Target's current attraction level: invalid]

'Huh? Value test?' He blinked, having never seen this notification. Meanwhile, the girl scoffed at him. "Not interested. Get lost little man." Then, she turned around and ignored him. Scrunching his eyebrows, Ben could only return to his crew in confusion.

"What happened?" Antonio asked.

Ben sighed. "She wanted to explore the sea…"

…

Something preoccupied his mind though. 'The system mentioned value. What was that?'

*Author's note: This was in an author's thoughts section last week but I know some people didn't see it so I'm reposting. Because MPUAS reached 3rd in December's win-win event with 2000 privileged readers, as I said at the beginning of the month, I'll be adding 10 bonus chapters for January! They'll fill in during weeks when the votes don't reach 7, and there are 6/10 left after using 4 the previous two weeks. So, as long as you keep voting, there's a good chance you'll get double releases for most or all of the month! Thanks for your support!
