【Whimper whimper... Master...】
【Please don’t stare at my true form like that...】
In the living room of the Su family villa.
Qin Luo silently watched the trembling, flickering pink orb floating in front of him.
So... this is the true form of the Charm System?
“Why is it an orb?”
【Reporting to Master, this is a low-level system, so it only has the most basic orb form.】
“But why an orb?”
【Reporting to Master, it seems to be set this way. From what I remember, it traces back to a big black ball with tentacles... The exact reason might have to wait until I level up a few more times.】
What the heck is a big black ball with tentacles...
Qin Luo fell silent for a moment, then waved his hand in frustration, storing the whimpering pink orb into the system containment space.
According to the system, any contained system wouldn’t disappear but would instead be locked away in a special 【System Containment Facility】.
And then, he would gain the system’s primary ability.
Hmm...
Qin Luo frowned.
A mental asylum contains T0 Chosen Ones and gains their abilities.
A system containment facility contains systems and gains their abilities.
For some reason, Qin Luo couldn’t shake the feeling that he’d become a recycling center.
But whatever.
Charm Eye...
Qin Luo glanced at the description of the Charm Eye on his panel.
In short, the higher the target’s affection level, the higher the success rate of the charm.
Once successful, he could freely choose to release it.
Failure would result in backlash, though Qin Luo wasn’t sure what that entailed.
But...
What use was this to him?
The next moment.
Tap tap.
Su Muwan, having just dried her hair, sneaked over to Qin Luo with a mysterious air.
She crossed her arms and looked at him seriously. “Qin Luo!”
Hearing this, Qin Luo instinctively looked up, his gaze landing on Su Muwan.
Fresh out of the shower, Su Muwan was wearing her favorite shark-themed pajamas. Her slightly damp hair hung over her shoulders, exuding a faint, pleasant fragrance.
This made his heart race a little.
“Young Miss.”
“Hmm?”
“You look really cute after a shower.”
“......”
Su Muwan’s face turned red.
You jerk!
I was trying to be serious here, and you just had to ruin my momentum!
She glared at Qin Luo. “Stop being so cheeky! Go take a shower first! I’ve got something to talk to you about later!”
“What is it?”
“You’ll find out when you’re clean!”
Qin Luo nodded and left.
Meanwhile, Su Muwan took a deep breath and then... pulled out a pocket watch.
She stared at the watch, her eyes filled with a mix of nervousness and excitement.
Earlier, she had been worried that Qin Luo might be charmed into becoming a mindless drone by that little vixen from headquarters, so she thought of fighting fire with fire!
If Qin Luo really became a drone, then she could just charm him back, right?
Don’t let her appearance fool you—she had read plenty of hypnosis novels and had picked up a few tricks!
This pocket watch was her little tool!
Though she hadn’t actually tried it out yet.
But!
Hehe...
Su Muwan’s lips curled into a sly smile, her eyes gleaming with excitement. She was going to test it on Qin Luo later and see if it really worked!
Time passed.
Qin Luo came out wearing black shark-themed pajamas, asking as he walked, “Young Miss, I’m ready... uh...”
Before he could finish, he froze.
Because...
The living room lights were all turned off, and Su Muwan was sitting on the sofa with only a single candle lit on the coffee table.
Su Muwan was leaning forward slightly, the candlelight flickering on her face.
Her eyes shone brightly in the dim light, carrying a hint of mischief.
The air was filled with the faint scent of her favorite incense.
Gulp...
Qin Luo swallowed hard, blinking in confusion. What... is going on here?
“Luo Luo, come here, come here.”
Su Muwan had already set the mood perfectly, just waiting for Qin Luo to take the bait!
“Is this some kind of ritual?”
Qin Luo walked over and joked.
As he spoke, he reached out to touch the pocket watch on the table.
But whoosh!
Su Muwan immediately snatched it back in a panic.
Her eyes darted around. “Hey, this is my prop! You can’t touch it!”
“Anyway!”
Su Muwan pointed at the sofa and ordered, “Just sit there and don’t move!”
Qin Luo raised an eyebrow at her mysterious behavior but obediently sat down beside her.
He wanted to see what Su Muwan was up to.
Seeing Qin Luo comply, Su Muwan cleared her throat and tried to maintain her composure.
She held the pocket watch and began to swing it slowly.
“Luo Luo, keep your eyes on the watch.”
“Don’t let your gaze wander, okay?”
Su Muwan tried to make her voice sound mysterious and hypnotic, as if she were an experienced hypnotist.
??
So this is what you’re up to?
Qin Luo finally understood. Had the young miss been influenced by some TV show or movie?
Does she actually believe in this stuff?
But...
Since you’re so into it, I’ll play along.
Thinking this, Qin Luo suppressed a smile and pretended to focus on the watch, his face showing a serious expression.
“And then?”
“And then...”
Su Muwan thought for a moment, then whispered mysteriously, “You’ll feel your eyelids getting heavier and heavier...”
Qin Luo deliberately blinked a few times, feigning drowsiness. “Huh? I think I’m actually feeling a bit sleepy...”
Hehe! It’s working!
Su Muwan’s eyes lit up with delight, and she continued with a triumphant smile, “Yes, that’s right. You’ll gradually lose your resistance!”
Hey hey hey...
What do you mean by losing resistance?
Qin Luo thought to himself, What happens after I stop resisting?
He was inwardly amused but continued to play along perfectly.
Then, he pretended to yawn, half-closing his eyes, and said in a dazed tone, “Mu Mu... this is... so strange...”
“I feel really sleepy... my body’s all limp...”
As he spoke, Qin Luo slumped against the sofa, looking completely out of it.
Whoa! It worked!
Seeing her first hypnosis attempt succeed, Su Muwan’s sense of accomplishment soared.
She swallowed nervously, then gently patted Qin Luo’s shoulder and instructed, “Luo Luo? Luo Luo?”
“Hmm...”
Qin Luo murmured.
“You’re hypnotized now, okay?”
“Oh...”
Qin Luo continued to murmur.
“So you should listen to my commands now. Remember, I’m your master!”
“Huh? Oh...”
Qin Luo kept murmuring, though the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.
Master... what kind of kink is this?
He pretended to be dazed and said, “Yes... Master... what should I do...”
Uh, what should I do?
Su Muwan was momentarily stumped. She glanced at the “hypnotized” Qin Luo and fell into deep thought.
She had only wanted to try this out, but she hadn’t expected it to actually work.
But...
This version of Qin Luo was super fun!
Her eyes sparkled as she hugged Qin Luo’s arm, snuggling up to him with glee.
“Sniff sniff~ Sniff sniff~ Sniff sniff~”
“You smell so good after your shower!”
Su Muwan shamelessly buried her face in Qin Luo’s chest, inhaling deeply.
Normally, she wouldn’t be so brazen, but Qin Luo was hypnotized, right?
That means I can do whatever I want!
Hehe, the novels didn’t lie to me!
