Chapter 64

Research has clarified the addition.

After reading the item description again, Zhang Ye was even more delighted.

【Charm Fruit (Eyes)】: Consuming it will have a permanent effect, increasing the player's charm value (eye area), and can be stacked without limit.

Just the eyes? Are there charm fruits for other areas as well?

This is an attribute-based reward! No wonder the chances of drawing it are so low!

Unlike one-time consumable items, this is a permanent item!

Moreover, according to the description, unlimited stacking? Does that mean you can eat as many of these permanent fruits as you want?

Zhang Ye had finished his lottery draws and spent most of his points. He had no intention of drawing again and immediately placed the four charm fruits on the desk. The fruits were not large, about the size of a fist, with a strange shape that Zhang Ye had never seen before. The fruit skin was a deep purple, with a bumpy surface but had a magical and attractive quality, looking very beautiful. There were a few small green leaves at the top, and the fragrance was pervasive.

Eat it!

No need to read the ads, just see the results!

In front of the desk was a mirror. Zhang Ye prepared himself, picked up a charm fruit, and with a mix of excitement and nervousness, took a bite!

Puff!

The fragrance splashed out!

Zhang Ye couldn't help but squint his eyes. He swore, this was the best fruit he had ever eaten. It was sweet, rich, and smooth, with a round texture, a lingering fragrance, and a rich but not greasy taste. It melted in his mouth, leaving a lasting aftertaste... Well, let's not exaggerate. Actually, the taste was just okay, but how could he show the uniqueness of this thing without a bit of exaggeration? Look at those food critics on TV, they always say it melts in your mouth, and then they say it again. Zhang Ye never understood it before. How could a simple donkey meat bun melt in your mouth? Do you think you're eating Dove chocolate? Now Zhang Ye finally understood why donkey meat buns could melt in your mouth on TV—because it makes it seem impressive!

The fruit was eaten!

He savored it and swallowed it all!

Gulp, his throat moved, and the next second, Zhang Ye's face changed. He felt a very special sensation, something indescribable, something very, very unique, almost unbearable!

Is it really that magical?

Yes, it is that magical!

Hmm, so Zhang Ye quickly ran to the toilet to relieve himself, and after flushing the toilet, that magical feeling disappeared.

Alright, no more jokes. Back at the desk, Zhang Ye looked at himself in the mirror and really noticed a difference!

His eyes felt a bit fiery, and he couldn't open them!

The fiery sensation in his eyes lasted for about half a minute!

When Zhang Ye finally recovered and opened his eyes, he was slightly startled by what he saw in the mirror. This... how are my eyes...

They seem unchanged!

But they also seem different!

The outline and shape of his eyes were the same, not very large or small, with single eyelids. However, what seemed to have changed was the spirit and vitality. His originally featureless eyes now seemed to have a certain aura, a bit of depth, though not very noticeable.

Seeing this, Zhang Ye was greatly invigorated and excitedly grabbed the other charm fruits on the table and started eating them!

One!

Two!

Three!

All gone!

【Charm Fruit (Eyes) activated].

【Player's charm value (eye area) permanently increased].

After enduring the fiery sensation, Zhang Ye rubbed his eyes and opened them to look in the mirror, and he was startled by what he saw!

Is this still me?

How did I...

1000

3c become so charming!

Is it just my imagination? Is it a psychological suggestion?

Zhang Ye was confused and began to doubt. He saw that lunchtime was approaching and decided not to eat instant noodles. He went out to have a bowl of ramen at a restaurant.

Out the door.

In the elevator.

In the elevator, two female students in their late teens who lived upstairs were also there.

When Zhang Ye entered, one of the girls with a ponytail didn't react much, glanced at him, and continued to look at her phone. However, the other girl with glasses lingered for a second when she saw Zhang Ye. When Zhang Ye also saw her and made eye contact, the girl quickly looked away. As the elevator approached the ground floor, Zhang Ye could see out of the corner of his eye that the girl with glasses glanced at him again. When the elevator stopped and the door opened, the two girls went out one by one, and the girl with glasses looked at Zhang Ye for the third time, quickly scanning him before they quickly left.

Do I have something on my face?

Or did I get something on me?

Zhang Ye used his phone to take a selfie to check, but found nothing unusual. The reason the girls looked at him definitely wasn't because of that!

Leaving the neighborhood, Zhang Ye headed to the ramen shop.

On the way, passersby still ignored Zhang Ye, which was a normal state he had long been accustomed to.

But as he walked, a sister in her late twenties wearing a long dress noticed Zhang Ye. She looked at him, her eyes lingering on his face for about three seconds before she turned and walked past.

He arrived at the ramen shop.

Zhang Ye found a seat with good air conditioning and said, "A bowl of ramen, large bowl."

"Would you like extra meat?" a female server asked.

"No extra meat, just add more chili, please. Thank you," Zhang Ye smiled.

The female server looked at his eyes and said, "Okay, please wait a moment, it will be ready soon."

After just three minutes, the female server, who was in her late teens, brought the ramen over, "Here you go."

Zhang Ye picked up his chopsticks and started eating, and he noticed that his ramen had four slices of meat. In the past, he often ate at this ramen shop to save money and never added extra meat, so each bowl usually had only two slices of meat. But today, there were four slices? He had specifically said no extra meat!

It was only 11 o'clock, not yet lunchtime, and there weren't many people around.

The female server came over again and started chatting with Zhang Ye, "You often come here to eat, right? I recognize you."

Zhang Ye said, "Uh, yeah, I've been here a few times."

"Are you not working today? You're eating so early," the female server asked.

They chatted casually for a while, and when someone called her, the female server went to work.

After finishing his meal and leaving the ramen shop, Zhang Ye looked up at the blue sky, feeling an urge to let out a long cry!

People on the street were looking at him? He got special treatment for his ramen? The female server even initiated a conversation with him? This was something he had never experienced before, not even in his wildest dreams!

The charm fruits really worked!

This wasn't his imagination! It wasn't a psychological suggestion! It was real!

Although this was an extremely rare special case, and most people still didn't change their attitude towards him, for Zhang Ye, it was a first-time experience, something he had never felt before! In the past, he always envied those handsome and strong guys who got attention, who were stared at, and who were approached for their phone numbers. He never got any of that. Even getting a few extra slices of meat in his ramen was a big deal for him. Now, Zhang Ye had a small taste of this treatment, and he couldn't be happier!

A turning point!

A glimmer of hope!

At this moment, he just wanted to sing a song, "Arise, those who refuse to be slaves!"

But what is the principle behind the charm fruits? How could they change him so quickly?

Actually, charm is a tricky thing. Some people have average looks and no appeal, while others have average looks but are very charming. Zhang Ye understood that it could be due to the combination of facial features, the nurturing of experience, and the increase in confidence, which all contribute to the cultivation of one's aura. For example, some celebrities didn't stand out when they were young, and some were even considered unattractive, but as they grew older, gained experience, and their careers flourished, they became more and more attractive. Zhang Ye might be in such a situation now. Although his appearance was quite ordinary and his eyes were not particularly striking, after eating four charm fruits (eyes), the change in his eyes was very noticeable!

The person was still the same person, the eyes were still the same eyes, but the feeling was different!

The feedback he received on the way to eat confirmed this for Zhang Ye!

The experiment had a result, and Zhang Ye didn't know what to feel. Could he really have a day like this? Could he really become attractive and charming? He had always been helpless about his appearance, given to him by his parents, something he couldn't change. But now, he had a chance to change it? This discovery excited him. He could finally stop being unknown! He still had a chance!

The world treats people with ordinary appearances like this!

People's emphasis on appearance creates these distinctions!

In this objective environment, Zhang Ye thought he had no way out, especially since his goal was to become a world-famous superstar, which required a higher standard of appearance. Now, Zhang Ye saw hope. This could be the best reward he had drawn since the lottery began!

Appearance can't be changed!

But charm can be changed! Charm can be increased!

With just four charm fruits, there was such a noticeable change. If Zhang Ye ate a hundred... no, a thousand or even ten thousand charm fruits in the future, what kind of state and concept would that be? Could he charm the whole world with just a glance? Zhang Ye didn't know, but he was looking forward to it. After all, this attribute-based charm fruit can be stacked without limit. As long as he had enough reputation points and could draw special items to get the right to buy these charm fruits, he could eat them endlessly! At that time, he wouldn't need to work so hard to increase his popularity and fame. Just singing a song or making a movie, and a smile from his eyes would make his fans grow exponentially. The thought was exhilarating!

What is the highest realm of a star?

It's not about working hard to produce great works, promoting them, and winning countless fans!

It's about standing there, doing nothing, and having fans increase in droves without any effort! Purely relying on charm!
