My Pick Up Artist System

Trapped in a small elevator with red emergency glowing down on them, Ben and Laura's situation couldn't have been more complicated. Not only was it unknown how long they'd be there, but at the moment, she couldn't stand the sight of him. After all, he'd put her in such a complicated situation.

As for Ben, even his little brother could stand at the sight of her…

She had thrown a curveball at him, pointing out that she knew about Tina, but he didn't find that of consequence. The more important thing was that she didn't tell her father Ben cuckolded him, and that she was Tina's step-daughter, meaning if he could seduce her, it would save billions of ball lives...

Yet, that was easier than done. He could see Laura was in a complicated emotional state now, but the fact didn't change that her attraction level for him was mortal enemy. Turning her around from that state into a hookup seemed to be an almost impossible task. However, Ben wouldn't give up. After all, it was the 21st century. Why couldn't they be enemies with benefits?

He still needed a method though. So Ben thought about all the tools at his disposal; Schvontz? That was for later…

As for everything else, the bench was looking thin. He'd used his divine line and that failed. He even used his fallback of his good old personal charm which bombed even worse than Hiroshima…

So what did he have left? Then, Ben remembered something. It was an item that didn't exist in reality, but something connected to his mind. Concentrating, he could sense it, its oval shape, its emerald color. Of course, this was—the magical leaf!

[Energy Transferring Magical Leaf(Item, Legendary) x1 - A mystical leaf from a spiritual tree grown by an ancient sect of tantric yogis. It is composed of energy and possesses unique properties]

[The following are the properties of the item]

[First: It can be bound to a host, attuning to their energy to give them full control of its capabilities]

[Second: Due to its energy composition, the host can choose to make it undetectable to all senses for everyone except the host]

[Third: The host can make it adhere to physical objects]

[Fourth: The host can materialize and dematerialize it within 5 feet]

[Fifth: The item can release its stored energy. This can create an effect of vigorous stimulation to all living matter within a very small area, and as long as the host is within 50 feet of the item, they are able to control the magnitude as well as pause and resume the stimulation]

[The following are also limitations of the item]

[First limitation: Once the hosts activates the energy release, whether or not the usage releases all the energy, it will continue to dissipate until the energy reserves are empty]

[Second limitation: Once the energy reserves are empty, the host must charge the leaf for a minimum of seven days with his energy by keeping it dematerialized during that time between uses]

[Third limitation: If the energy leaf touches living matter while activated, it will connect its energy signature to that living being and no longer be effective on another lifeform until it is recharged]

It was Ben's first legendary item. So far, he'd only tested it on himself and could attest to its powerful effects; in essence, it made a fool nut…

The energy release was a powerful physical stimulation of the nerves in any area, leading to increased blood flow and flow of other kinds… After he'd used it on himself, it went into a cooldown, only having recovered not long ago after charging for seven days. So, Ben couldn't help thinking about it. 'Would this work on Laura?'

He wasn't sure. Even if he stimulated her body though, what good would that do? She saw him as a mortal enemy. So wouldn't his attraction and comfort levels still be abysmal? Soon though, Ben remembered something Beluga had told him once. He tried to explain the dynamics of quick hookups.

Beluga had said that the most significant thing for hookups wasn't attraction, but arousal. If you could raise a woman's arousal high enough, then that was sometimes all she needed to drop trow…

After all, it wasn't only s.l.u.ts that had quick hookups. In fact, most women had such an experience at least once. Maybe it wasn't s.e.x, but it was a s.e.x.u.a.l act. Ben had even read that at a certain point in their ovulation cycles, women were much hornier and more likely to go out and search for men. It wasn't too different from animals in heat.

He wasn't a stranger to moves to raise arousal either. Some pick up techniques for this would be like the ones he used with women in the past to raise their arousal levels in the bedroom. However, in those spots, those women still had high attraction and comfort levels with him. Now, this was totally different. Laura hated him!

The key with arousal was that to raise it, you needed to have high attraction and comfort first. That's even how his system worked. In practical terms, those things were necessary too, since it wasn't like women would allow a guy they hated to use arousal moves on them. In simple terms, there would be no opportunity to utilize such techniques. It was like now, if Ben tried to kiss and turn Laura on, she would reject him outright. So what option did he have?

It was obvious he was miles away from high attraction and comfort with Laura. So why would this advice be useful? Why now of all times, did it enter his mind? Ben racked his brain over this, as well as Laura's rack…omnipresent in the background like a universal constant…

Meanwhile, she glared at him, crossing her arms as if trying to create a barrier between the two of them in this small space.

Then, Ben's eyes glimmered. He thought of something as his consciousness touched the little leaf of happiness somewhere beyond the physical realm. 'This magical leaf—would it work as a technique to increase arousal?'
