Chapter 20: Just one point away
In that moment, Alexander displayed the pinnacle of his skills in flattery and shamelessness, accumulated over three to four decades in his previous life.
Su Rong couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh lightly again, and her favorability instantly changed.
After a long time, Su Rong stopped laughing and said,
"You must have deceived a lot of girls with this method, right?"
"I only speak the truth! Besides, I've never been in a relationship! After all, not everyone is like you, teacher. My heart is too narrow; when you're in it, no one else can enter!"
Alexander spoke without blushing or panting.
Su Rong's mouth twitched slightly, and she stared at Alexander intently. A hint of blood-red brilliance flashed in her eyes, and then she laughed, saying,
"I believe you, big boy! From now on, don't call me teacher, call me Sister!"
Her favorability increased by another two points, reaching 69 points.
Alexander's heart suddenly soared, but his expression remained unchanged, his back already soaked in sweat.
Big boy, what does that mean if not clear!
Judging from her previous appearance, she obviously found out about his virginity in some way and believed him.
If he hadn't been able to resist the temptations of Isabella and Sophia, mother and daughter, before, then now...
Even if nothing happens, she's favorability would surely plummet!
Alexander was extremely grateful in his heart.
"What are you thinking about?"
Su Rong asked with curiosity.
"Thinking about you!"
Alexander blurted out, his gaze fixed on Su Rong's snowy white shoulders as he thought about the situation.
"You!" Su Rong pouted, seemingly a little angry, and glared at Alexander, saying,
"You have such a dirty mind, I shouldn't have invited you!"
Angry?
Alexander was startled, but his favorability didn't change, so he quickly remedied,
"It's all because you, Sister, are too... too beautiful! No! No! It's all my fault for being too weak-willed!"
Alexander stumbled and stuttered, putting all his strength into blushing, his face slightly red, like a shy and inexperienced boy.
"You! You're quite eloquent, but I didn't expect you to be so shy. You really are a big boy!"
Su Rong laughed, and although her favorability didn't increase this time, she was clearly not angry anymore. She said,
"Wait here, I'll go change my clothes, so you won't keep trying to take advantage of me!"
Alexander immediately looked embarrassed, watching Su Rong disappear into the bedroom, his gaze becoming more serious.
Outside the door, the noise gradually subsided, and the sounds of doors closing could be heard repeatedly.
Apparently, the evil spirits who had come out had all returned to their rooms, and Alexander couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
He didn't know how a female ghost would change clothes, but Su Rong's speed was astonishingly fast. When she came out, she saw Alexander's relieved expression and couldn't help but laugh, saying,
"What are you worried about? I told you, there are rules in the Ghost Apartment. As long as you are my guest and don't leave this room, no one will come to bother you. If you're so scared, why did you even come here?"
"I don't want to come to such a dangerous place either! But you are here!"
Alexander put on a helpless expression, which brought a smile back to Su Rong's face.
Her favorability increased by another point.
With no time limit and no way out, there was no point in thinking about other ways to increase his strength. Alexander began to desperately raise Su Rong's favorability.
Techniques like the 36 Strategies of Picking Up Girls, the Complete Guide to Flirting, the Essence of Flattery, and Cheesy Pick-Up Lines...
These messy online secrets from his previous life were actually quite useful. At least in his previous life, Alexander had managed to become a top sales training instructor, sought after by countless companies, thanks in part to these techniques.
Alexander, who had long since mastered these techniques, naturally spoke with ease.
As Alexander displayed his top-notch social flirting skills, the level of affection gradually increased.
Alexander also discovered some patterns.
In the previous school instances, most of what he said were compliments, but as the affection level increased, some flirting techniques could be employed as well.
When the affection level reached 70 points, Alexander clearly noticed that Su Rong could now tolerate some mildly inappropriate jokes.
With an affection level of 80 points, Alexander took the initiative to lightly pat Su Rong's back to help her feel more comfortable, and she only stiffened a bit initially.
Time passed as Alexander continued to test the waters.
When the affection level reached 80 points, Alexander realized that language alone was no longer enough to increase the affection level.
No matter how much he flattered and flirted, even if Su Rong laughed heartily, the affection level showed no signs of further improvement.
It seemed it was time to use his secret weapon!
Alexander thought to himself, his eyes filled with affection as he stared at Su Rong:
"Rong, actually, I came on this adventure for another reason as well!"
"What is it?" Su Rong's eyebrows furrowed slightly, but perhaps because the affection level had reached a certain limit, she added, "Did you encounter any difficulties?"
"Actually..."
Alexander stood up and took out the S-rated reward, the Bone Ring, from his tattoo and handed it over:
"I came to give sister a gift!"
Although the name and story of the Bone Ring might sound terrifying, its appearance was not frightening at all.
On the contrary, the ring-like Bone Ring emitted a faint, ghostly white glow, like the purest white jade. The faint blood-red patterns on it, like red jade, covered one-third of the surface, making it enchantingly beautiful.
"What a beautiful ring! You risked coming here just to give me this ring? That's too risky! If I happened to be away, you would have undoubtedly died."
Su Rong happily accepted the ring.
"I know, but I had to come!" Alexander said without hesitation, "Because among all the people I know, only the most beautiful you are worthy of the most beautiful her!" fr(e)enovelkiss.com
In reality, Alexander was just making things up.
He thought he would appear directly in Su Rong's room and hadn't considered the possibility of her not being at home.
As for only Su Rong being worthy among the people he knew, that was even more of a nonsense.
Alexander only knew Su Rong as a ghost, setting aside favorability, would he give a Bone Ring to Isabella or Sophia instead?
However, it seemed Su Rong didn't know this, and her favorability skyrocketed to 99 points. Her eyes filled with gratitude, she hugged Alexander tightly.
"Thank you! Thank you, I really love this gift!"
99 points!
Only one point away!
Not only was it a matter of favorability, but Su Rong had even taken the initiative to hug him!
Alexander tentatively wrapped his arm around Su Rong's slender waist. Her delicate body shuddered, but she didn't show any signs of pulling away or displeasure. She even pressed her face against Alexander's chest.
Her skin was a little cool, but it wasn't as cold as he had imagined.
Aside from being slightly cooler than a living person's skin, it felt no different and was even more delicate and smooth.
Alexander's attention returned to the favorability.
It was at 99 points, but there was no reward notification. It seemed he would only get the reward at 100 points.
However, the nearly complete favorability also disheartened Alexander.
The Tombstone Rose could increase favorability by 30 points, and the S-rank reward Bone Ring would clearly be even higher, but it only increased by 19 points. There was only one possibility.
The last point was a threshold, not so easily broken.
Alexander pondered, his hand pressed against Su Rong's cool back, gently stroking.
This was certainly not to take advantage of her, but mainly to test the extent to which favorability could affect Su Rong.
Whether others believed it or not, that was what Alexander thought anyway.
As Alexander's hand roamed, even slipping into her shirt, unclasping her bra, and touching her full breasts, Su Rong showed no sign of anger.
Under his caress, her breasts changed shape. Alexander even touched her sensitive nipples with his fingers, yet Su Rong still showed no anger. Instead, she happily collapsed into Alexander's arms.
It seemed that the effect of favorability was even more powerful than he had imagined!
Alexander was secretly delighted, just as he was about to further take advant...no, further test the limits.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
A series of urgent and forceful knocks on the door were accompanied by an irate man's voice.
"Su Rong, get out here!"
In his arms, Su Rong's face suddenly changed color.
