Calibration was of critical importance. A lot of people might assume that Rizz was all about being charming, being larger than life, or some kind of extroverted chatty archetype.
In fact. This was simply one of the manifestations of Rizz and only the stereotype due to the bias of seeing someone 'swept off their feet' as in the movies and most romanticized popular media.
In fact, as you the esteemed reader would know, this was but one manifestation - the most obvious one - but it absolutely did not do justice to the diversity and importance of considering what People *actually* wanted, and what was actually happening - the movies only showed one Form of Rizz, and not even the true workings that underpinned the actions.

Yes, the content of the message was one thing, but it was truly a joy to witness how Calibrated [Intention] manifested - when a beautiful thing would happen.
There would be a wonderful true Connection of Consciousnesses... this was wonderful because of the rarity of someone actually taking the time to deeply understand her preferences, moreover having the ability to actually convey that... as a result, Empress Bing was able to immediately sense that this... "Bob" wasn't simple...
Ok fine, he was clearly quite... Aware, which was extremely refreshing, but Author had to include that classic Xianxia phrase at some point, and maintain Empress Bing's cool external image and selective, inner warmth...

And so, Bob was able to head to Clive's Convenience store, along with Old Man Li - who knew more than Bob about 'medicinal' rice wines of course - and here we were...
