Controller consoles in these games often share simir youts, making it easy for Xanthia, who had experience from her previous life, to dive right in.

  The pivotal moment came when she watched the boy get fmboyantly defeated by the boss. In that instant, her "Wisdom Root" attribute activated, allowing her to effortlessly memorize the boss's movements and attacks. She could predict its every action with precision—she had deciphered it all.

  The Wisdom Root attribute enhanced her observation, comprehension, and understanding. For someone who would never fall in love, this attribute seemed perfectly suited.

  Thus, Xenophon witnessed an extraordinary scene:

  The boss that had just humiliated him was now at the mercy of a seemingly delicate and gentle girl. Yet, in the game, the boss appeared like a clumsy oaf, raging incompetently as its health bar steadily dwindled. Her pystyle was methodical, as if everything was within her calcutions.

  Graceful, confident, composed...

  Xenophon was utterly stunned!

  His stereotype that female pyers cked skill was obliterated by this fragile-looking yet remarkably strong and elegant girl.

  However, what truly captivated him was her infectious joy as she focused on the game.

  This was a soulmate—a kindred spirit!

  His initial wariness toward her dissolved completely. He genuinely wanted to befriend such a talented gamer.

  Indeed, as Xanthia immersed herself in the game, her happiness levels soared, and the smile on her face never faded.

  That smile was undeniably contagious.

  When Xanthia finally defeated the boss, Xenophon was even more thrilled than she was. "Incredible! Are you a veteran?"

  Xanthia wasn’t exactly a "veteran," but with the continuous boost from the Wisdom Root attribute, her understanding of the game was exceptional, and her gamepy fierce. As long as she avoided love, this advantage would always be hers.

  "Hehe, not really... Say, why don’t we add each other on Synomilía? We could py together in the future," Xanthia suggested, finally revealing her true intent.

  Xenophon was taken aback, wondering if he was dreaming—no pretty girl had ever asked for his Synomilía before!

  At that moment, he also wanted to ask for her contact information, not because of her looks, but because her skill had thoroughly impressed him. He wanted to befriend such a high-level pyer.

  If the other person had been a guy, he would have acted without hesitation. But because she was a girl, he hesitated, fearing rejection.

  Such hesitations often cause opportunities to slip away.

  Xanthia smoothly obtained his Synomilía, advancing her task progress by 1%. During this proactive interaction, she also gained substantial happy points, achieving two goals at once.

  After securing the contact, she left without any lingering feelings. For her, the tool had served its purpose.

  Xenophon, however, had no idea he was merely a tool. He still heard her sweet, soft voice calling him "Hey," and dreamed of pying games with the beautiful girl in the future.

  That day, he returned to school and shared the dream-like experience with his roommates, making them ugh. "How drunk were you?"

  But when he proudly showed them the girl’s Synomilía, his roommates were genuinely amazed. They began to question reality.

  Could such a thing really happen? Could an unattractive guy be actively approached by a girl asking for his Synomilía?

  To his roommates, Xenophon was an unremarkable fellow, below average in looks. How could he have made such a beautiful girl take the initiative?

  Buoyed by her initial success, Xanthia grew increasingly confident in her task of proactively asking for Synomilía contacts. She frequently took the initiative.

  Though she faced rejections and awkward encounters, she became more resilient with each one.

  Once you overcome the fear of rejection, you become bolder. Rejection doesn’t cause any harm, so why not take the risk?

  In reality, most men were quite cooperative. Even those with girlfriends, if their partners happened to step away briefly, often didn’t turn her down when she asked for their Synomilía.

  Many men, approached in this manner, likely felt a surge of confidence, imagining themselves irresistibly attractive, and remained excited for the rest of the day.

  Unfortunately for them, there were no follow-ups—they were merely tools.

  Eventually, Xanthia even dared to approach women, targeting those who were high in looks and seemed unapproachable. She would begin with, "Miss, you’re so beautiful. May I add you on Synomilía and get to know you?"

  The results were mixed. Some were naturally cautious, while others found Xanthia likable enough to add her on Synomilía and become friends.

  During this proactive approach, Xanthia realized that women were no different; as long as she was bold and willing to take risks, the gender of her tools didn’t matter.

  [ Ding, challenge task completed, reward issued ]

  Xanthia spent the entire afternoon and part of the evening completing the challenge task.

  Seeing the new positive attribute, "Social Butterfly," on her character attribute panel, she smiled with satisfaction, her happiness levels rising. She loved the feeling of leveling up and becoming stronger.

  She also realized that after completing such a task, even without the attribute, she wouldn’t feel socially anxious around strangers anymore.

  However, the challenge task of being approached by 100 strangers remained stagnant. It seemed her current attractiveness and charm levels weren’t quite sufficient, or perhaps the mall wasn’t the best environment for such encounters.

  That night, as she y in bed, her frail body felt utterly exhausted. She decisively converted some "Happy Points" into attribute points and allocated them to "Constitution."

  She wasn’t in a rush to boost her attractiveness or charm. A strong body was the foundation for everything. By increasing "Constitution" first, followed by "Strength" and "Agility," she would feel more secure.

  As her constitution improved, Xanthia felt a surge of vitality in her once-weak body. The negative attribute "Sickly" was completely shattered!

  She spent additional happy points to refine the attribute further. Finally, when her accumuted happy points ran out, the "Sickly" attribute transformed into "Healthy."

  She felt marvelous.

  No longer a socially anxious weakling, she was now a healthy social butterfly!
