*Positive Intention has leveled up to level 27!*
Bob meditated daily using positive thoughts as a way to increase his genetic potential.
"The World can become a safer, kinder place."
"The Universe is full of energies that uplift, encourage and spread positivity."
"We are all One."
"Release and let go of what you cannot control."
"Every moment is an opportunity"
"Life is a blessing."
"Appreciate the joy of life itself."
("Position yourself in the energy fields of hope, faith, kindness and strength.")
("Channel Expressions of Universal Value")
Bob no longer used the word "I" much in his mantras, having shed the limitation of his ego way back when his Positive Intention was at Level 10.
As he was brushing his teeth, he realized that Old Man Li had left him a Whatsupp voice message.
"Bob! It's me. Hahaha." Old Man Li did treat pretty much treat him like his own son, although that wasn't saying all that much, Bob reflected, considering how Old Man Li's actual son, Zhang Lu had ended up so far. Would there be a redemption arc in the works? Bob shook his head to dispel the foreshadowing, as he continued listening to the voice message.
"Meet me at 11 tomorrow outside the usual place. There will be a great learning opportunity."
___
*Next day, 11, at the local park*
"Bob, this is Thierry Touchealot, a Legendary Touchmaster and my good friend who will be guiding you through the Art of Touch."
"Hehe…" Thierry, who originally exuded the calm, refined manner of a respected master, suddenly poked his tongue out and made weird wiggling grabby fingers with both his hands at Old Man Li's chest area.
*!%#$&@!!" Old Man Li swiftly recoiled from Thierry's trademark "Wandering Hands" technique with a curse, and countered by smacking him on the head with 'The Art of Touch' manual he had received for today's training session.
Bob was speechless. He facepalmed inwardly, but outwardly showed no reaction, having long grown used to the RizzMaster's… 'unorthodox' methods.
"Ahem." Old Man Li continued. "Thierry has come out of hiding from his Mountain Gate in Touching Point, in order to impart to you some sacred principles to help you realise your genetic potential.
Thierry was dressed in a loose fitting t-shirt and shorts, and exuded an aura of warm friendly confidence as he shook Bob's hand firmly in greeting and patted him on the back in a 'Good lad, nice to meet you! Looking forward to this!' kind of gesture.
He then whipped out his big deck -
of playing cards before introducing himself.
"My name is Thierry Touchealot, a Touchmaster and sworn brother of Old Man Li, and I'm here to impart to you some secrets regarding the Art of Touch. As always, remember that with great power comes great responsibility! The only reason I agreed to pass on this sacred knowledge is because Rizzmaster Li has told me your Positive Intention and Morality and Respect levels have reached the minimum thresholds to learn these skills."
Bob nodded. He understood the need for these high requirements, having himself come to realise the dangers of using the power of Rizz for evil. He had resolved to always avoid using The Art of Rizz in an immoral or disrespectful manner, and this, almost without saying, also applied to the Art of Touch - which was essentially a more specialized form of Rizzmastery at the end of the day.
"Anyway, Let's begin. Watch this!" He fanned the cards, and… coaxed one out using his other hand, before stuffing his snake-like deck back into the unknown depths of his pants-pockets. He held the remaining card out for Bob to see.
Then!
With a look of supreme concentration, and a snap! of his fingers, the card disappeared. Soon after, he came close to Bob and from behind his ear, pulled out the very same card!
"Wow.. ..w. w" Bob tried to muster up a spurt of enthusiasm, even trying to squeeze a few more drops out at the end, but failed as the card trick was, quite frankly, sh*tehouse. He had even seen the card poking out from the back of Thierry's hand when he had reached around his ear!!!
Thierry the Touchmaster nevertheless displayed full confidence, giving him a grin as if to say: "well, young man, That *was* pretty good eh, wasn't it!" and trying to give him a little dig with his elbow.
Bob, folllowing Old Man Li's lead, sensibly shimmied.
Although he was bad at magic, Thierry fortunately did in fact have the 'magic touch' when it came to the important stuff.
"…Attention and Intention. These are the two key principles of The Art of Touch.
Your job as a Touchmaster is to understand and master these two points."
"Now you may be wondering why I haven't seemed to have covered actual touch yet…
"In fact!" and here Thierry paused for emphasis, like an old fortune teller found in the purple tents of amusement parks before the big reveal (that you probably wasted $7.50).
"your 'Touch' is actually a Sphere of influence that is always active, even if you don't realise it. Touch is a form of energy transfer. And so, you are always giving and receiving energy through your very existence."
Bob inhaled deeply as the profundity of the statement hit him.
It was true that atoms, the building blocks of reality, technically never touch, instead, they are bound together by energy. In that case, what we perceive as touches are simply energy transfers that result in real-world phenomena. This realisation would then open the door for a paradigm shift wherein Touch itself goes beyond what you might categorically describe as physical, and expands to include a Sphere of influence, powered by one's focused attention and intention!!!
Hence the important thing was to master controlling your Sphere of influence, aka your 'Touch' bubble, through Attention and Intention!
Wow. This time Bob was actually impressed.
Thierry chortled as he continued as if satisfied by Bob's reaction.
"Now consider the moment we met today."
Bob reflected. It was true. The moment he had seen Thierry, he had gotten an impression, an aura of laidback friendliness, which had immediately put him at ease. Moreover, this had led the way to a handshake, but it wasn't just the handshake and pat on the back that was important: rather, it was also the Intention behind it, that determined the effect. Just as a friendly pat on the back was very different to a shove filled with malice, Intention was a key component behind the Art of Touch.
"You must be empty, calm like a blue sea." Thierry and Li had studied and trained together, so they were masters not only at their own individual specialties, but had strengthened and broadened each other's horizons in the other's respective fields too.
It was true. One of the best intentions to have was one of self sufficient being, simply embracing and affirming the existence itself.
"But this is just the beginning. Following this, you must learn to read and perceive other people's spheres of influence and intentions, and learn to resonate or change your own sphere and intent to a level that is similar and affirming to that person. Gradually, they would respond to your Sphere of influence, building the relationship meter, and once it is filled to a certain point, that is when the direct touch spectrum (DTS) would come into play, allowing you to take your touching skills to the next level."
Bob nodded. Direct Touch Spectrum, or DTS was referring to normal kind of touch now.
"The Direct Touch Spectrum is made up of Touch Sensations, which trigger different reactions depending on where the touch occurs, as well as the manner of the touch. Touch Sensations range from common touch sensations that are used most often in everyday situations, such as shaking hands, holding items opening doors and so on, uncommon touch sensations like a hug, massage, through to more unique touch sensations such as someone touching your face gently, a kiss, or even the erogenous zones in sex, the zenith being skilled stimulation of the clitoris in women or glans in men."
"Stroke the back of your middle finger. What do you feel?"
Bob tried and felt a curious sensation that trickled upwards up his arm and through his entire body.
This is just one Touch Sensation, a conscious transfer of attention and intention. Now You must learn to experience and master as many Touch Sensations as possible and become used to knowing when and how to use them to create a deeper connection based on other people's comfort and preferences. As you can see here, that is why I enjoy using my skills to make Old Man Li uncomfortable hahah!!!
As Thierry brandished his wandering hands again with devilish delight, Old Man Li dodged, took off his slipper and chucked it at his head again, cursing.
Thierry having avoided the slipper, smugly sauntered back to his lesson.
"How do we gain Touch Sensation experience you ask? Well, The fastest way to gain experience is to touch yourself."
Bob choked mid-drink of water as Thierry continued.
"That's right. Touch yourself. Touch yourself in different ways, and in different places. I recommend touching yourself practice several times a day."
"Uh…" Bob glanced at Old Man Rizzmaster Li, who was stroking his beard and nodding solemnly as if all this were the holy words of God. Being a good natured person, Bob usually saw the best in people, but even he was beginning to have his doubts over the authenticity of his master's methods. It seemed that his friend was even more crazy than him. But he had come too far in the story to back out. It was too late now! Oh well he would at least hear him out, before making up his mind.
"There are special Touch Sensations that are designed to stimulate to orgasm, the burst of energy required to propagate new life, but note that upon this burst of energy, the affected person would enter a 'depleted energy' status, leading to a period of inactivity where they must recover. So Sexual Touch Sensations should only be used with consent, care, wisdom and respect. Again, I am only teaching you the theory, what you choose to do in practice is up to you."
Bob nodded. He felt pain and pleasure like everyone, but for him, Sex for pure pleasure was not that big a deal, since he found his life goal of improving his Genetic Quality far more interesting, and had no intention of wasting his valuable time and resources unless it would be directly beneficial to his goals. Of course, if the time and situation were right, then he would not hesitate to seal the genetic deal, but he was not someone to chase sex for pleasure's sake alone.
Thierry's final words were the finishing touches to what had been an incredible 5 minutes of learning:
"Remember that DTS is just a small part of The Art of Touch. Spheres of influence, created by attention and intention are what The Art of Touch is all about. By mastering and learning to modulate your sphere of influence and your intention, as well as being sensitive to the Spheres of influence and intentions of the world around you, you would truly become the change you wish to see in the world."
Bob exhaled as he felt the cumulative (pun unintended) insights rapidly increase his genetic factors and fill him with an incredible power.
Bob spent the rest of that afternoon practicing and training and ingraining these new revelations into his Rizzians Core.
Back at the dorm, in his bed, he began to touch himself as Old Man Thierry had instructed, leading to this cursed sentence, noting the various effects and learning to modulate his pressure, speed, frequency and intention and increasing his knowledge and proficiency in Touch Sensations and the Direct Touch Spectrum.
+ 100000 XP
+ 500000 XP !
+ + 7980000 XP !! !! ++
You have leveled up!!!
You have leveled up!!!
You have leveled up!!!!!
Thanks to these tactile tactics,
Bob's Rizz Index now had a new additional Statistic underneath it!!!!
Bob
Rizz Index: 10079900
Touch Index: 100800
Note: a higher Touch Index results in a stronger Sphere of Influence, and a greater ability to modulate your Sphere's Power through Attention and Intention.
With this, Bob had expanded his Awareness to the next level. Now it was time to consolidate this newfound knowledge into a tangible improvement to his Genetic Quality… it was time… to combine the Art of Rizz… with the Art of Touch !!!
