(36) Latent Dream Begins

  Fan Jianqiang continued: "You should have heard an old saying, 'rarity is precious.' In other words, you need to dig up some unique qualities from yourself that others don't have, so that girls will like you. But the most crucial problem is, what you have, others can also have. Height? You're not tall, there are taller ones. Looks? We're just average, even if you're quite handsome, there's always someone more handsome, right? Humor? Actually many people understand it, it's not your exclusive specialty. Being a good person, having a good temper, being willing to help others and so on, these qualities, what you can have, others can also have."

  "What's the point of dragging this out? Isn't that just making me more desperate?" With him saying that, I felt like a grain of sand, drowning in the vast desert.

  "You haven't even let me finish speaking, I'm just talking about the principle," Fan Jian said seriously. "What you need to do is very simple: be different from others, and then slowly attract the other person, making her feel like she can't leave you."

  "Easy for you to say, but the more you talk, the less I believe it?" I'm stuffed and have given up thinking.

  Fan Jianqiang suddenly changed the subject, "You must have noticed this phenomenon. Among the couples walking on the street, some of the girls are very beautiful, but standing next to them is a very ugly guy? Every time you see such a couple, don't you feel envious that a beautiful flower is inserted into cow dung?"

  I expressed my own views, "Indeed it is so, but this can only be said that radish and cabbage have their own preferences."

  But Fan Jianqiang slapped the table and said, "You're wrong about that!" I was startled by her, and even the little sisters around us who were eating were scared.

  I hastily stopped him from being impulsive, and told him to calm down and talk things through. Fan Jianqiang said seriously: "If it's really true that everyone has their own preferences, then the probability of a handsome guy and an ugly girl being together should be the same as the probability of an ugly guy and a goddess being together, right? But in reality, the latter is much more likely to happen."

  I nodded silently, what he said was indeed reasonable. I asked curiously: "Then, what's going on? Did they all get some kind of pickup artist's true transmission?"

  "No, not quite, most of them are grassroots. It's just that they all understand a little bit and know how to attract each other."

  "Come on, finish what you're saying, I'm getting tired of listening. I'm a bit annoyed, how did a suspenseful humorous article turn into a tutorial on picking up girls?"

  "Also, when it comes to attracting, you need to use something rare to attract women. To put it simply, most guys who chase after goddesses are overly nice to them and cater to their every whim all the time. Am I wrong about this?" Fan Jianqiang saw me nodding and continued: "There are many guys who treat goddesses well, but most of them just keep flattering her. Think about it, will the goddess like them? The answer is no. The nicer you are to a goddess, the more you flatter her, the lower your social value becomes in her eyes. At best, she'll consider you as an ordinary friend, not a partner. Do you understand what I mean?"

  I pondered for a moment, silently reciting "Amitabha" three times. Suddenly, it dawned on me! "I get it, you mean to deliberately let go and show off my personality, making the goddess think I'm different from other guys, and then my value will be revealed. Then the goddess will gradually fall in love with me, and finally, I'll be able to walk hand in hand with her, right?"

  "My goodness, this kid is teachable!" Fan Jianqiang was overjoyed, apparently it had been a long time since he'd encountered a student as perceptive as me.

  So that night we talked all night, talking about some details of picking up girls, which made me admire him very much. Nima, it turns out that there is a master of love around me.

  I later decided to let my sister stay at home alone, made a phone call to get in touch with each other after that, then went to KTV with Fan Jianqiang all night.

  Although most of the evening, Fan Jianqiang was talking about his romantic history, but he talked about the process of picking up girls, which benefited me a lot.

  The next morning at 6 o'clock, the KTV service staff came to check on us and said that time was up and they were about to close, asking us to leave quickly.

  When Fan Jianqiang and I parted ways, the scene was truly as described in the book: holding hands and looking at each other with tears in our eyes, we were speechless and choked with emotion!

  "Teacher Fan, you are my lifelong mentor and friend!" I was so moved that I almost cried. Fan Jianqiang said, "Right, next time consult me, 200 yuan a time, okay?"

  All I said with deep feeling was one word: "Goodbye!"

  Today I skipped class again and didn't go. The reason I gave to the head teacher was "my aunt's husband came", and the head teacher didn't get angry, directly approved it.

  The reason I don't want to go to school is not because I'm lazy, it's just that I had a long conversation with Fan Jianqiang last night and got really tired, even if I went to class, I would still be sleeping.

  Back home and hiding in the room, the little dog told me that Xiao Qian was still asleep. With his help, my Yang energy value had risen to six.

  I was also very tired and fell asleep directly, I don't know how long I slept, but was woken up by the ringing of my mobile phone. It was a strange phone number?

  Is it the winning information again? Last year, they said I won a second prize, and the prize was a high-end watch. I even paid 130 yuan for postage to get it. This time, I won't be fooled!

  I hung up the phone decisively, and soon it came again. Scammers are really dedicated these days. I hung up again, and he called back. It wasn't until I finally picked up that I realized I was still half asleep. It turned out that my express delivery had arrived and was delivered right to my doorstep.

  I signed for it and opened it, and it turned out to be Lingyin Bluetooth headphones and Lingshi glasses. It arrived so quickly! With these, Mom doesn't have to worry about my communication with the spirit anymore!

  I was worried that these things were fake, but I tried them right away and they really work. You can see the little dog and cat, and even through the Bluetooth earbuds, you can have a direct conversation with the little dog. Suddenly, it feels like it's only a few thousand yuan, which is really worth it.

  From then on, I wore a pair of inconspicuous glasses and an unremarkable spirit-sound earphone, catching beast souls every day. In the end, I earned a large sum of money, achieved fame and success, and retired from the world. (The End)

  ……

  Fine, no such absurd ending. The story continues, and since I wore these glasses and headphones, many people have thought I was deaf and mute, even though I didn't pay much attention to it.

  At dinner time, on the dining table.

  "Brother, are you nearsighted? These glasses are ugly." His sister said while eating, "They also look like sunglasses."

  I just realized I forgot to take it off, so I casually made up a reason, "No nearsightedness, wore it and forgot to take it off."

  Just as I was about to take off my glasses, I saw several ghosts appear behind my sister, with long teeth and claws about to approach.

  "Be careful! Run away quickly!" I shouted loudly, but scared her instead. I yelled again, "Run!"

  My sister remained indifferent, furrowed her brow and asked, "Brother, what's wrong with you? Are you running a fever?" She then reached out to touch my forehead.

  I was almost frantic at the time, those few ghosts didn't look like they were up to any good, in my desperation I suddenly remembered something and immediately pulled out my phone and used a ghost-repelling talisman, through the glasses I saw that the few ghosts ran away in disarray as if they had seen the Black and White Impermanence, everything returned to calm.

  "It's okay, just a narrow escape." I muttered to myself, my phone was full of cold sweat. My sister said I was acting weird and still didn't understand what happened, so I told her I was just joking, and she didn't pay attention either.

  The little dog told me later that it was just an ordinary ghost, and the soul strength had not yet reached the red level, so it would not cause any harm to humans.

  So that's what happened to the ghost-repelling charm? Damn it, my 1,000 yuan! Why didn't you tell me earlier? Screw you!

  The day passed so happily again.

  It's finally the weekend, and Xiao Qian has also slept for several days. Her soul density has risen to 8.5, which is enough to sneak into Chen Fei's dream to find clues.

  At 8:30 in the morning, I brought Xiao Gou and Xiao Qian to Chen Xiaojia's home. Chen Xiaojia was still very cold towards me. I thought, after rescuing your brother, I will definitely make Fan Jianqiang my advisor, then you won't be able to help but throw yourself into my arms?

  Thinking of this, I almost burst out laughing. Xiao Qian said to me: "I'm fully prepared, we can start now."

  At this moment, I'm wearing the spiritual vision glasses and spiritual audio earphones, and I can see Xiao Qian dressed up like a heavenly fairy. She's wearing a green dress, black silk stockings, but no shoes since she's floating in mid-air. These clothes were burned for her by me two days ago, and at that time, she was so delighted that she almost threw herself into my arms, unfortunately, we are from different worlds. Alas~

  Sometimes I think, if Xiao Qian were a real person with flesh and blood, how great would that be?

  Chen Xiao had no receiving device and couldn't hear Xiaoxian's voice. I said to Chen Xiao, "You can start now, just wait at the door, I'll go into the room."

  Chen Xiao nodded, and in her eyes, I saw the hope she had for me. If this time Xiang really succeeded, Chen Xiao should have a good impression of me, right?

  Then I took Xiaogou and Xiao Qian into Chen Fei's room. After closing the door, I saw that Chen Fei was staring blankly at the ceiling.

  Chen Fei's lips were parched and cracked, his entire body devoid of vitality, as if he was on the verge of collapse. I said: "Chen Fei, I promised your sister that I would save you, so just rest for a while now. Later, I'll have someone infiltrate your dreams to find the murderer."

  "Hehe." Chen Fei just chuckled twice, staring at me with wide eyes, refusing to sleep. The little dog said, "If I were you, I'd knock him out directly."

  So... I really knocked Chen Fei out. Damn it, I've been annoyed with him for a long time, and today he still dared to glare at me, knocking him out was just an excuse to take action.

  "Then I started sneaking in." Xiao Qian was quite confident, and I said with some concern, "You must be careful, if it's not okay, then come back quickly, don't overexert yourself."

  "Uh-huh, I promise you, I'll definitely come back." Xiao Qian smiled gently, her smile was enough to make a hundred flowers blush.

  I nodded, and saw that Little Qian in the air flipped over and shrunk down, turning into a green elf, which drilled into Chen Fei's forehead.

  At the moment when Xiao Qian disappeared before my eyes, a wave of sadness suddenly surged up in my heart, and I suddenly felt like crying.
