Believing a steamy bathroom to be as good a place as any…Ben continued toweling down as he read through his achievements.
[Congratulations! You've unlocked the Achievement: Trampede(rare) – Cause a stampede of women by repositioning them from the vicinity of enemy competitors]
[Distributing reward: PUA Points + 1000]
He recognized that referred to the fart bomb. 'It was like the new Jumanji movies but better…'
Speaking of which, that reminded Ben to update his mental counter on the number of jungle-related movies Dwayne Johnson's been in…
A few seconds later though, he sighed. 'I lost count…' He couldn't count that high!
…
[Congratulations! You've unlocked the Achievement: Formation Annihilation(fine) – Break the female-attraction formation of a group of enemy competitors]
[Distributing reward: PUA Points + 500]
Ben nodded. 'It's about time I become a master of formations. After all, it's required for any half-decent xianxia protagonist…'
[Congratulations! You've unlocked the Achievement: Cultivating the Dao of Plow(repeatable, rare) – Have sex with a new woman to completion]
[Distributing reward: PUA Points + 1000]
Ben closed his eyes. 'Buddha said, "If I don't enter hell, who will enter hell?" So I say, If I don't enter her p*ssy, someone else will? F*ck that sh*t!'
…
He prepared to take on the burdens of his fellow man, relieving them of the sins of the flesh, by occupying all the women.
…
This was a sacrifice Ben was willing to make for all humankind… Bearing the women on his back spread-legged like a cross.
…
This was his way, his Dao, his road to enlightenment, one lay at a time…
[Congratulations! You've unlocked the Achievement: Same Day D*cklivery, Same Day Return(repeatable, fine) – Have a one night stand, sleeping with a woman you met for the first time that day]
[Distributing reward: PUA Points + 500]
Ben shrugged. 'Sorry, I don't accept returns…'
He'd learned from the best eBay vendors of sh*t products…
'If the purchase disappointed her, let her give me a poor review on Yelp. Oh wait, she can't. Winning!'
…
[Congratulations! You've unlocked the Achievement: Misfortune Cums in Pairs(fine) – Run a successful group pick up where you and at least one wingman end up successfully seducing women in the group]
[Distributing reward: PUA Points + 500]
For the first time, Ben learned about the true value of teamwork and friendship…
It was 500 PUA points…
'That's about what I'd value it at…'
[Congratulations! You've unlocked the Achievement: Cross Cumtree Racing(fine) – Participate in a sexual endurance marathon with a woman against at least one other couple]
'Is the system American? Because I see she gives out participation trophies…'
Ben wasn't expecting to get awarded for this, in particular because he threw the race and ended up getting second. However, he wouldn't complain about getting points. That was even more the case because he understood that the act of giving out participation trophies only hurt the genuine winners, after all; grinding down their drives to succeed until they fit into the accepted standard of mediocre…
Though, maybe, just maybe, it hurt the losers a little too, by conditioning them to fail without consequences for the rest of their lives…
Of course, if one lacked compassion, they could argue it also damaged the nation as a whole, by eliminating all sense of responsibility and meritocracy. Who needed those things though? Sure, they were the major building blocks of the nation's success, but things were fine enough now, so it seemed as good a time as any to take a nation-wide vacation for a couple of generations…
Isn't that what they invented autopilot for?
[Congratulations! You've unlocked the Achievement: Bat-Trick(rare) – Have sex with three women in one day]
[Distributing reward: PUA Points + 1000]
'Damn, I really did, didn't I?' Ben failed to realize it before but with Camila, Miyuki, and 34C, he became the man of the match…
Grinning with pride, he stood there thinking about it for a few minutes…until the steam left the mirror and he saw himself loitering naked like an idiot…
So, he moved on. Reaching the end of the achievements, Ben knew the points total still failed to reach his goal of 50,000. Since he still wasn't in urgent need of anything though, he decided to continue saving them for now, and with that completed, the sole remaining thing was the booty chest.
It was unfortunate there was no flag since 34C was American. For that reason, Ben cursed her parents for not participating in more international sex tourism…
Yet, a chest was still something to look forward to, even though this one wasn't up to par with the others he'd gained in the recent past, because it was light blue. Reaching for his jacket hung up on the door, he pulled it out of the pocket. Holding it in his hand, he gazed at it.
[Booty Chest(Consumable, Fine) x1 – Drops one object of guaranteed associated quality]
This chest was the same rarity as he got from Penelope the first time he'd ever picked one up. It forced Ben to consider the factors that led to the tier evaluation once again. In terms of attractiveness, 34C was up there with his other girls. Even the system officially recognized that when he completed the challenge, since it required her to be an 8 or higher in looks.
He recalled the the key evaluation criteria the system mentioned before, one of which was the difficulty of seducing her. In this case, there was nothing easier than a drunk slut. So Ben hypothesized sluttiness lowered the rating. That would explain why the tier of Penelope's chest was only fine too. Although the Greek girl didn't have a slut bonus when Ben seduced her, she did have a drunk bonus, and also took part in some slutty behavior, motivated to get revenge on her boyfriend.
Another thing Ben considered was that 34C and Penelope both weren't virgins. Although the system didn't say anything outright about the chest grade factoring in virginity, she did mention there being an effect from the girls' personal circumstances. Ben speculated virgin status may have been a component in that.
It made some sense. If the system's goal was to help him become the best pick up artist, then he'd need to face challenges, and it was logical that virgins would be more difficult. As far as the system's deeper goal, that was something that tickled Ben's mind once in a while, but he always brushed it off for the simple reason that he had no idea. He wasn't qualified nor informed enough to consider that question, at least not yet.
That's why instead of worrying about things he'd be unable to figure out, Ben focused on the moment, and right now, he had some loot to pick up. Even though the chest was only fine, it could still drop various useful items. So, with bright eyes, he opened the booty chest, as blue light filled the bathroom.
