306: Experiments on the Mystical Blessing

Chapter 305: Experiment on the Mysterious Blessing

On the way back to Bit Manor, Dick kept pondering this Mysterious Blessing, but he was never able to fully determine exactly what it was.

Charm is a relatively broad concept, not simply limited to appearance or figure.

Therefore, Dick speculated that the increase in his so-called charm might be something deeper, such as temperament.

Dick disliked the unknown, as it brought instability, especially when it was a Blessing closely related to himself.

However, this didn't stump Dick; it was quite simple to figure out the changes brought by the Blessing by conducting some reasonable and rigorous experiments.

...

Hours later, an extremely grand banquet was held in the largest hall of the Bit Family.

This was a welcome banquet specifically prepared for Afra.

For the Bit Family, Afra was far more important than Victoria, because she represented the Didalian Family and also the Elf Gold Firm.

This was not as simple as a region or a continent; this was a superpower on a global scale!

Even Victoria, who was also a guest, was extremely respectful to Afra, carefully considering every word she spoke.

The power of the Elf Gold Firm was simply too great; the larger the national power, the more it depended on it.

The Toya Empire, as the current dominant power in the Northern region, was naturally no exception, and even the economic advisors hired by the government basically came from the Elf Gold Firm.

The atmosphere of the banquet was very harmonious. Afra sat in the main guest seat, accepting Compliments from everyone present, like a star surrounded by the moon.

And the brightest star beside Afra was naturally Leon, though he seemed a bit flickering, clearly not very adept at such political socializing.

Fortunately, Jinna was sitting not far from Leon, and her exceptionally high emotional intelligence and speaking skills prevented the banquet from falling into awkwardness.

Dick and the women sat at the secondary guest table, quite a distance from Fama, completely unable to participate in the core circle's conversation.

By status, Dick was just an Earl of the Aimiya Empire, not a particularly high position, even lower than Adolf.

After all, the latter, no matter what, was the Grand Master of the Aimiya Empire's Adventurers Guild, backed by a superpower.

Although somewhat marginalized, Dick was happy to have the leisure, which allowed him to take the time to study the Mysterious Blessing he had just acquired.

"Mina, look at me closely and tell me what's different from before."

Hearing this, Mina, who was cutting her steak with a fork, paused. Without much thought, she obediently turned to look at Dick.

In less than a second, Mina's face turned red, and then in less than three seconds, she moved her gaze away, breathing rapidly.

Dick was not surprised; this was Mina's normal reaction.

Even though the two had already engaged in more intimate exchanges, Mina would be easily overwhelmed by shyness when looking at him up close.

"How is it? Is there anything different?"

"Dick... is as handsome as ever. If I had to say anything is different... it's this suit you're wearing today, it's... it suits you very well."

Dick frowned and said seriously, "No, Mina, you need to look for details. Don't just focus on these superficial things."

"Details..."

Mina murmured, her gaze returning to Dick.

His well-defined face, the prominent Adam's apple, the crisscrossed collarbones... and those strong arms.

Thinking of some of her previous experiences, Mina felt a little breathless, and her eyes began to glaze over.

"Mina, don't just look at the surface!"

Hearing Dick's reminder, Mina forced herself to cheer up and quickly noticed some details, such as the inner lining.

Even though Dick was no longer short on money, he still kept his promise, wearing the cheap sweater she had knitted under his luxurious suit. This was simply...

At this moment, Mina's desire to have children for Dick had reached its peak.

Looking at Mina, who had already entered a certain state on her own, Dick sighed.

However, this also indicated that his charm had significantly increased compared to before.

At least before obtaining that Mysterious Blessing, Mina would not have shown such an infatuated look in public.

Her reserved and shy personality would never display itself so openly, unless... she really couldn't help it.

"Alice, switch seats with Mina."

Hearing this, Alice, who was talking with Cecilia, quickly turned her head, a fleeting hint of surprise flashing in her eyes. She immediately got up and switched seats with Mina.

"Did I do something wrong again? If I need to be punished, I'll come find you after my bath tonight..."

Dick pursed his lips, used his fork to pick up a fragrant half-sausage, and put it into Alice's small mouth, interrupting her words.

"I know you've been eavesdropping on my conversation with Mina. Now, look at me like she did and find the difference!"

Seeing that her little action had been discovered, Alice's face turned red. While chewing the sausage, she mumbled, but her eyes honestly began to size up Dick.

Like Mina, Alice's expression quickly became unnatural, and she awkwardly couldn't articulate anything.

Seeing this, Dick's speculation was further confirmed. Compared to before, Alice's reaction was also much stronger.

"Dick, Dick, it's my turn, I'm ready..."

Xiao Nai waved her hand from the side, looking a bit impatient. She thought Dick was playing some interesting table game.

Listening to Xiao Nai's chatter, Dick casually glanced over.

He didn't even need to switch seats; just a suggestive look was enough to make Xiao Nai a little flustered, and her voice instantly became much quieter.

Indeed, all the women around him were like this, reacting more intensely than before.

To ensure the conclusion was correct and eliminate randomness, Dick didn't spare Cecilia and Victoria. After looking into their eyes separately, both also showed varying degrees of reaction.

His charm... seemed to have really increased quite a bit.

Since Victoria was sitting next to Afra, Dick was accidentally misunderstood when he was exchanging glances with her.

Afra mistook Dick's eye contact for communication with her, so she gently raised her wine glass and smiled, toasting him from a distance.

Dick reacted quickly, immediately raising his own wine glass and politely toasting back from a distance.

Speaking of which, the women who participated in the experiment just now were all women he had already 'conquered'. They were already easily reactive, so using them for a charm test was actually not entirely appropriate.

Therefore, he should use unfamiliar women with low favorability for another set of control experiments.

It would be best if they were high-level professionals with strong mental resistance, to see if they would have abnormal reactions when interacting with him.

Afra, right before him, seemed like a very good choice.
