160 Tunneling through the Northern ice wall/Wildling ou (2/2)

'Was that even a f*cking answer?' Ben didn't know how to get this beauty to open up, and his forehead was getting sweatier as this went downhill.

Bob sighed. 'His presence has no authority…a shame...'

Jacob shook his head. 'Benjamin has no experience, and he's too young and average-looking to create any influence on Laura. She's not taking him seriously. This is the end...'

Paul showed a lob-sided smirk. 'My daughter's an excellent judge of people. If she doesn't like him, there's nothing more to say…'

Ben knew he couldn't continue like this. 'I won't be able to get her to loosen up with normal questions. She seems like the difficult type and has her guard up on top of that. Is this hopeless?'

He clenched his armrests as his chest felt the great frustration of his impending failure. This was a rare opportunity, one he couldn't afford to waste. Yet, this was a trap, and he didn't see a way out!

'No...I have a chance! Even if I can't do it the normal way, I can go through her backdoor…' Ben was considering two-holing…

He narrowed his eyes. 'Normal conversation won't work, but I still have the system to help me!' It was still two-holing in a manner of speaking…

While continuing to pepper her with questions she gave aloof answers to, he tried to formulate a plan. First, Ben tried to recall if he brought any items that would be useful on her.

'Club Rat's Fake ID? No, not unless she's into Danny DeVito, or things that look like chodes in general…'

'Fart Bomb Pheromones? It would only work on females so I could use it to have her run out, postponing the interview, but that wouldn't solve the problem.' Ben set fart bombing her as the backup plan…

'IOI Watch? She's not attracted so it's not giving me anything. Wait…' That led to him realizing he should open her attraction status. Although this was an interview and not a pick up attempt, Ben knew that between men and women, there was always a sexual dynamic, no matter the environment. That was why in every movie, the leading man would always end up kissing the leading woman, regardless of the setting or the plot. Well, it was the sexual dynamic, and shameless studio execs…

[Target's current attraction level: disinclined]

'She started out even lower than normal, which verifies her standoffish demeanor. If I can raise this, I may get her to open up to me.' There was a goal now, but Ben still needed a method. Since items were no good, he went through the skills he could use.

'Squirtle Hydro Pump? No, this isn't the time to finger bang-bang her into my life…'

Despite thinking that, Ben's hand twitched…as if Squirtle held a different opinion…

'Elementary Body Language Reading? In theory, it should be useful, but all she's giving me now is icy indifference… I don't need a skill to know that.'

Then, on his next thought…Ben found it—the method to solve this crisis. 'This is it…I'll only get one chance, but if I use it well, it'll be the key to breaking her defenses!'

It was his big d*ck.

…

Ben smirked in his mind. 'The tall tree attracts wind.'

…

He thought maybe if he popped a chub…and she saw it through his pants, she might give him a chance?

Then, he realized it would be visible to the interviewers…and decided it wasn't worth the risk. 'Fine, let's keep it pg-13.' Since he couldn't lure this big fish with his meatworm…he decided to try another idea. 'This'll work. No…it has work! Open your legs to daddy!'
