Chapter 69：Finding the inner strength to get laid (2/2)
First Ben showed how it worked, then he handed it to the new obstacle.
A woman was now holding bubble wrap…
Ben warned her. ”Don't hurt yourself…”
***
”What am I supposed to do with this?!?” a different obstacle yelled.
”Use your imagination!” Ben answered.
She was carrying pillows and a sheet to make a pillow fort…
***
One girl followed a trail of rose petals that Ben dropped when he entered the bar…
It led her outside, where the bouncers didn't let her re-enter...
Because Ben smudged the stamp on her hand earlier…
***
Sitting at the bar, Ben was frowning. 'I was so close with that last obstacle. If only she didn't text the target to leave the bar...I forgot about the damn cell phone…It's like they don't exist in key parts of novels or movies…Why do only I have to deal with this?'
About the only positive result he got was this:
[Congratulations! You've unlocked the Achievement: Lure the Tiger from the Mountain(uncommon) - Defuse an obstacle by tricking her to leave the venue]
[Distributing reward: PUA Points + 200]
Something else bothered him. 'I wish I had a space dimension for inventory. How is it the first thing all those MCs get is that, and I had to bring this stupid massive backpack with all this sh*t?'
Ben couldn't stop shaking his head. 'The worst part is…none of it worked! Women are too demanding for ways to pass time these days. When my grandfather was young, his best friends were a rock and a stick…'
While he was ruminating, a hand tapped his shoulder. Ben turned and saw an attractive girl gazing at him. ”Are you here alone?”
Ben's eyes became alert. 'She's opening me…Can't make a mistake here...If I say yes, she might think I'm a weak loser…Need to come up with something to look strong…'
He replied, ”I'm alone...because I murdered all my friends in a hunger games scenario…”
…
”I just want the barstool...” she said as she left with the stool in a hurry.
Watching her walk away, Ben shouted, ”Ha! Jokes on you! I'm a victor! I'll be a celebrity in the Capitol soon!”
…
He turned back and sipped on his ginger ale. 'I need to get my sh*t together…What am I saying? This bad run of losses scrambled my brains...'
Out of nowhere, the music in the club stopped. The DJ put on a new track.
”I find myself in her room~
Feel the fever of my doom~
Falling falling through the floor~
I'm knocking on the devil's door yeah!”
It was the theme song of From Dusk Till Dawn. While it played, Ben noticed everyone in the room was gazing in one direction, at the staircase, where his eyes shifted to as well…
There…stood the sexiest woman Ben had ever seen.
