It was generally best to use the right tools for the job, and although Empress didn't want to admit it, she knew that in this scenario, a warmth - perhaps of an intimate, human kind?! - was what was required…
At this, Empress shot Author a look (though due to her stunning beauty, this look of displeasure still somehow could be interpreted in a cute, MILF-y, AILF-y manner) as she took in the suggestive wording in the above paragraph - typical of Author's stylistic shenanigans…
She was dressed in flowing, elegant Wuxia-esque garments that fully displayed her beauty and effortless grace and poise…
"-Author, I know what you're trying to do, but it's not going to work!!"
Empress said in a firm tone towards Author who acknowledged it mid-sentence, and so although her tone was originally enchanting and full of mellifluous sweetness, instead Author began to adjust it to just 'firm' -
"Well I don't mind that part…"
Oh Sure. Author wisely kept a neutral poker face as he continued taking her preferences into account, and indeed, as Empress' dulcet tones swirled sweetly in the store, she made arrangements quickly by dropping a message under one of her online avatars in the Association of Rizzmasters online server, the profile picture of which consisted of her dressed mysteriously in Xianxia-style clothing and wearing a mask that only revealed a pair of stunningly beautiful eyes, along with the pronouns She/Her, which, in the job requests ticket chat, immediately sparked a fervour of replies and DMs from various Rizzists, the overwhelming majority of which she immediately ignored.
Empress of course wouldn't make a public appearance, but she still needed to do things, so she had created this mysterious avatar, Hao Piao Liang, in order to better observe and assess people and situations more carefully and accurately.
As it so happened, Bob happened to see the message, and utilizing his Art of Rizz, managed to catch her attention.
As always we would attempt to describe this high-level interaction for the reader's enjoyment.
First of all, Bob had been cultivating an overarching way of seeing the World, in an attempt to better consolidate his knowledge and experiences with the Art of Rizz, which he tentatively began to call… Omnitheory.
In total, there were 7 Parts to his current mental model, which would be more fully explained in a future chapter. Suffice it to say, the most important part of Omnitheory was [Intention], which he had first discovered from his training in the Art of Touch all the way back in chapter 30, as well as [Awareness]…
Empress Bing Qi Ling, with her exceptional and well honed mastery of [The Intuition of the Ice Queen] was able to easily read the [Intentions] of all those she encountered, due to her exquisite sensitivity and energetic pattern recognition skills, and this was the mechanism by which she was able to quickly filter out the helpful from the unhelpful influences.
Fortunately, Bob, with his rock-solid, honed [Intention] which was genuine, warm, kind, affirming, and conveying a feeling of safety, security, and perfect calibration, immediately caught her interest.
"Dearest most noble Rizzmasters, your Assistance is required… if anyone is in the area XXXX, we need your help! Please message for more details and I will send you the exact details. Thank you!"
Bob received the job request on his phone as he was swapping contact details with Jon, and immediately tapped into his [Awareness] to try and figure out the best course of action.
His main plan was to stop the Dark Rizzards from getting their hands on - and potentially misusing - the EVP Blueprints, and so he was tapping into a variety of sources of information, including his Valentine-alter-ego, and his collaboration with Sally, as well as his insider-informant, Hugo, in order to stay updated and to figure out what was best to do.
Apparently, the Blueprints were in 5 Convenience stores spread out over the star-shaped Secret Island Network and this was also why he had gone to this Convenience store.
