Chapter 10: Kissing is a one-time, or countless-time, event!
Without a doubt, these talents are quite trash.
No matter which one he chose, it would be useless to Huo Yuhao.
However, looking at it from another perspective, the mere B-grade difficulty also indicated that this first kiss "incident" wasn't as bad as he had initially thought.
At the very least, Tang San himself shouldn't have made any exaggerated moves. Could it be that he truly acquiesced to such intimacy between himself and Wang Dong'er, and was even too lazy to set any restrictions?
Thinking this, Huo Yuhao remained outwardly calm.
His consciousness delved deep into his soul to check the specific simulation process.
Since the system had given a rating, it meant that the Asura Sea God at least had a reaction. He should first see what was going on.
"Hmm, let's just try it. The 'Feigning Ignorance' talent seems slightly more reliable."
【Selection complete】
【Generating simulated life】
【Time: After receiving Wang Dong'er's first kiss; Location: Shrek Academy freshman dormitory】
【Day 1: Lips are the first window to the soul. Since the embrace by Sea God Lake last night, Wang Dong'er has become even more attached to you, their relationship as hot as glue.】
【Day 2: The slow-witted Tang San, with a wisp of his divine consciousness, snuck into the Douluo Continent. Through the seal on Wang Dong'er's glabella, he learned the full story. He was displeased with your unauthorized kissing of his daughter and even more surprised as to why the restriction had failed.】
【Day 3: Tang San observed in secret. You clearly realized this and made no moves. Tang San ultimately determined that it was likely due to a previous argument with the God of Destruction, where the fluctuations in his divine soul during the dispute caused his divine consciousness connected to the lower realm to weaken, allowing you to inadvertently exploit a loophole.】
【Day 4: Tang San re-repaired the restriction and specifically reinforced it to prevent similar "accidents." In his opinion, if you, brat, were to act out again and attempt to molest his daughter, then you would surely be repelled by the seal. You wouldn't die, but you would certainly suffer a bit.】
【Tang San did not discover your special nature, nor did he specifically target you, but his paranoia grew stronger… Simulated life ended. This "proposition" was successful.】
【Manifestable talent: Feigning Ignorance (Common). Do you wish to manifest it?】
...Well then, no wonder the system rated it as B.
So, old dog Tang didn't suspect him at all?
Huo Yuhao wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, almost failing to maintain his expression, feeling quite speechless about it.
He rejected the common talent of unclear significance and re-examined the situation carefully, a hint of alertness appearing between his brows. It seemed the matter wasn't over yet?
"To be fair, this result is indeed good."
"However... it doesn't solve the fundamental problem."
"Even if I manage to muddle through this time, and Tang San doesn't pin it on me, what about next time?"
"When you're in love, kissing is one of the most routine parts. Once it starts, it's impossible to stop."
"Even if I don't bring it up, Wang Dong'er will definitely take the initiative. At that point, should I kiss her or not?"
"If I don't, won't our passionate relationship cool down? If I do, it's even more troublesome. Once is a coincidence, but if a second time can still penetrate the God King's restriction, Tang San would be a fool not to suspect!"
Kissing is either zero times or countless times.
Falling in love is unavoidable, but he faced a core contradiction.
The reason this simulation was only rated B was because Tang San blamed the "pot" on himself.
But repeatedly, even the most foolish would find it strange. At that time, trying to fool him would definitely not be as simple as the first time, and in extreme cases, it might expose him.
So, how could he effectively adjust?
Huo Yuhao frowned slightly, summarizing the current clues.
First, he had to confirm what Tang San's reaction would be if he broke the restriction again and put on a "live show" with Wang Dong'er. In short, he definitely wouldn't be happy.
Also, when a problem arises, it must be solved. How could he prevent Tang San from suspecting him, or at least minimize the targeting even if he did suspect, all while not affecting the development of their relationship and maintaining its acceleration?
"System, adjust the proposition to: After kissing Wang Dong'er, how can I ensure Tang San's suspicions never fall on me?"
"If it's just one or two times, and my secret is avoided because of that guy's arrogance, it's actually meaningless. My struggle with him is a long-term project!"
Soon, the one-hour cooldown ended.
Huo Yuhao cleared his thoughts and unhesitatingly started again.
As expected, things became "complicated." The difficulty immediately jumped from the previous B to a higher A.
But fortunately, it was only A-grade. If it had directly soared to S, he might have had to consider abandoning the plan to embrace Wang Dong'er.
Of course, this difficulty was not simple either.
Rare and common talents were not enough to turn the tide.
Huo Yuhao stayed up half the night, simulating seven or eight times, until he couldn't resist and collapsed into sleep.
He still hadn't found a solution to the problem through the system's deductions, and among them, the most intractable point was the phrase "always."
Indeed, just as his proposition described.
Not being suspected once or twice had no practical meaning.
Kissing and such were merely basic steps in a relationship; there were many more steps to come.
If even this most common intimacy required breaking the God King's restriction, then the frequency would be too high.
It wouldn't be long before the other party would become suspicious.
And turn the spearhead towards him, the "son-in-law."
Once old dog Tang realized that Huo Yuhao possessed a threat, he would definitely become highly vigilant.
After all, this was an ability that transcended his plans and shouldn't have existed. How did it appear?
If he were to get to the bottom of it, the impact of this matter would expand. Perhaps the system rating is only A now, but if it stacks a few more times, it would reach S or higher.
Huo Yuhao was well aware of this. What he needed to do most was to use his existing talents, or the random talents provided by the system each time, to come up with the optimal solution before the trouble escalated beyond repair.
"It's still the same old saying: not being intimate is impossible."
"To break free from Tang San's control, I must disrupt his rhythm."
"With my current strength, starting with Wang Dong'er is already the simplest method."
"If I can't even manage this, then there's probably no point in continuing later. The question is... what kind of talent would be useful?"
The Grandmaster of Formations was the root of the contradiction itself. If it wasn't exposed, there was still hope for redemption.
The Grandmaster of Seduction... Tang San might be disgusting, but his sexual orientation was normal. Besides, Huo Yuhao himself couldn't stand it.
Full Charisma... it might work on others, but the Asura Sea God was so arrogant, he probably wouldn't be fooled.
Wait a minute... fooled?
That's right, he should lead that guy astray!
Constantly drawing attention to himself seemed very unwise. After all, he still couldn't directly confront him.
He had to divert the blame for dismantling the formation to something else, at least to make Tang San think that the destruction of the restriction was unintentional, and not deliberately done by Huo Yuhao. But how could he achieve that?
