My Pick Up Artist System-Chapter 240: Fruit fighter
When Ben stepped into a bodega in midtown Manhattan, the scent of fruits entered his nostrils. He was running late for the MMA gym and had left his dorm without eating breakfast. Now though, he'd arrived faster than expected to the gym's neighborhood, and found himself with spare time. So, he decided to grab some breakfast.
Walking around the store, Ben considered what he should buy. 'Fariq told me it was good to eat something with potassium before training, because it helps avoid cramps.' With a goal in mind, Ben looked around, and soon, in the fruit section of the shop, he found something. There were two cantaloupes inside a crate near his leg. 'I think I read these have a lot of potassium.' He smiled, because it was a fruit he'd enjoyed a lot at home, but didn't have an opportunity to eat since arriving in Manhattan.
Glancing nearby, Ben even discovered there was a counter area where people could eat, with tableware at the end he could use. As such, he made his decision, picked out the last two ripe cantaloupes, and walked over to the cashier to purchase them, looking forward to his meal. Placing them down on the countertop, when he observed that the cashier was re-arranging something behind the counter, Ben stepped to the side and grabbed some napkins, only to turn back and see his cantaloupes…disappeared!
He blinked. 'Can the fruits move here? Is this Sausage Party?'
Yet, when Ben glanced nearby, he found the location of his two pieces of breakfast. They were in the hands of a tanned girl who was examining them.
"Hey, come work the register! I want to buy these!" she yelled to the store clerk as she put the cantaloupes back down on the counter.
With a grumbling stomach, Ben frowned and stepped towards his fruits, reaching for them. "Sorry, I just put these there. These are my—"
"Hua!" When the woman saw Ben reach for the cantaloupes right next to her, her face became rigid, as she grabbed his arm with both hands, spun her body, and threw him over her shoulder!
*Bang!*
Ben flipped over and his back smashed against the solid ground! He got the wind knocked out of him!
*Cough* He laid on the floor and tried to catch his breath.
"Don't touch! Filho da puta!" The girl snorted, showing a face of disgust to Ben who was groaning on the ground.
Recovering after a couple of seconds, he crawled back up to his feet. 'I just wanted potassium…'
He felt wronged. "Hey, I put those cantaloupes there! I was going to buy them!"
Holding the fruits, the girl sneered. She checked a few seconds ago and knew these were the last two. So whether he put them there wasn't important, because they were her favorite food, and she understood that in America, possession was 90 percent of the law!
The woman gazed at Ben with scorn. "Yes? Can you prove it? I don't see your name on them."
Ben narrowed his eyes. Instead of apologizing for throwing him on the ground, she was continuing to steal his food! So shameless! He couldn't let that slide! "That's right! My name's on them. Take a look!"
"Huh?" The girl squinted.
Ben pointed to the fruit. "My name's Dole!"
…
The girl glanced down at the cantaloupes, and saw a sticker on them that read, "Dole."
It was a famous worldwide fruit brand...
She looked up at Ben with her mouth open, in disbelief that such a shameless person could exist!
However, while she was examining the fruit, Ben was examining something else—the girl herself; smooth tanned skin, dark eyes, straight dark hair flowing down her back, and her body…thick…
Large breasts and ass, a narrow waist, and the best highlight of all—big juicy thighs…
He swallowed at the sight of them stretching her sweatpants. 'She wronged me, but she's actually pretty hot. So, all is forgiven!'
...
Ben was a person full of cumpassion…
He understood that sexy women had it rough. After all, Beauty was a curse...with so many problems to deal with: constant male attention, free gifts, leeway from teachers and bosses. It was a nightmare!
So, he decided to let this girl off one time, with the fine print that she'd end up sleeping with him, of course…
Wanting to understand her situation, Ben checked her status.
[Target's current attraction level: disgusted(-1)]
'Not a great start.' Not only did he begin below the average at disinclined, but the current scene led him to drop a level to disgusted. Despite that though, Ben possessed the perfect weapon for this situation—the divine line generator!
If he used the correct line, regardless of her current attraction level, it would jump to curious, and that...would give him a decent chance of getting somewhere with this woman. So when the cashier approached the counter to sell her the cantaloupes, Ben knew he didn't have much time, and activated the skill right away.
[Divine Line Generator Activated]
[Uses remaining: 0]
[Time till refresh: 23:59:59]
[Divine Pick Up Line Generated]
[Choose one of the following]
[A: "Wow, you have the chin of Superman. I bet you could take a serious punch." ]
…
Ben blinked…then moved on to the next one.
[B: "Hey, we got off on the wrong foot. How about we split those cantaloupes, one each?"]
'Seems all right.' He was willing to give up one cantaloupe if it meant she'd also sample his nuts…
[C: "Are you sure you wouldn't prefer cucumbers? You know, you can use them for many purposes…"]
Ben's expression became one of consternation. This third line seemed like it held some deep wisdom…knowledge he believed any girl should appreciate knowing…but something inside him told him it'd be better to not say it... Yet, maybe...
Looking at the beauty in front of him, Ben's face became serious, as he deliberated over the best choice...
