Chapter 76

After class, many people wanted to come up and chat, but they felt they weren't familiar enough with Zhang Qiu to do so, and they were a bit hesitant to lose face. Or they felt a certain respect for Zhang Qiu, whether he was a scoundrel or a hero who saved a beauty, he seemed too distant and unreal to them.

However, a few girls finally mustered the courage to come up and chat. They brought their exercise books and leaned in, saying, "Zhang Qiu, the joint exam is this weekend. The teacher covered some key problem types in the two days you were absent, which might be on the exam. Do you want me to explain them to you?"

"Thank you. If you don't mind, you can explain them," Zhang Qiu nodded, not wanting to rudely reject the girls' well-intentioned approach. Although the girls weren't particularly pretty, beauty was a scarce resource, and he couldn't treat ordinary people with prejudice just because they weren't beautiful.

However, after explaining a few problems, Zhang Qiu found that he already knew them. The more the girl explained, the more she felt sweat on her forehead. "Zhang Qiu, I didn't expect you to be so good at this. You actually know all these problem types!"

"Zhang Qiu is very hardworking. Have you forgotten how he memorized the words last time?" a girl nearby said.

"Only now do I realize how handsome Zhang Qiu is! How did I not notice it before? It must be because his style is too old-fashioned, which hid his original charm." Once the girls redefined and re-evaluated Zhang Qiu, they often overturned their previous conclusions.

A few tall boys who were already unhappy with Zhang Qiu saw a group of girls surrounding him, even though the girls weren't particularly pretty, and they felt envious, jealous, and resentful.

"Damn! What's that Zhang Qiu showing off for!"

"I just can't stand him!"

"That guy is sly! You can't tell, but he quietly charmed the girls! He was holding back before, probably waiting until graduation! After graduation, he won't have to worry about school rules, and this is the best time to make a move on any girl!" the PE monitor said.

They thought they were speaking quietly and that the classroom was noisy, so Zhang Qiu wouldn't hear them. But Zhang Qiu, with his near-national-level insight skill, could observe and hear everything in great detail. In the midst of the noise, he could easily hear their whispers.

Listening to their conversation, Zhang Qiu gave a cold laugh in his heart, hoping they wouldn't cause any trouble, or he wouldn't be lenient.

As they chatted, class started again. After another class, it was already lunchtime, and Zhang Qiu didn't go to the cafeteria to eat. Instead, he returned to the dormitory first.

He unlocked the cabinet and first checked the Charm Peach Treasure, which was still there. Then he checked the laptop, which was also still there.

Heaving a sigh of relief, Zhang Qiu took out the Charm Peach Treasure and locked the cabinet again.

The Charm Peach was still in a mineral water bottle, protected by the transparent bottle. Closing his eyes, he sensed a large stream of red qi flowing from his head to the Charm Peach Treasure, just like when he first obtained it.

However, the amount of red qi this time was even more than after his interaction with Lin Lai, and it immediately condensed into three Charm Peaches, which surprised Zhang Qiu.

Although Zhang Qiu had figured out some practical methods for the Charm Peach Treasure, there were still many mysteries.

It was time to solve these mysteries. Zhang Qiu closed his eyes, opened the Super Beauty Search System interface, and silently said, "Extract the Charm Peach User Manual (Cultivation Technique)."

Suddenly, a clear stream flowed through Zhang Qiu's mind. After the stream dispersed, his mind contained a new cultivation technique—the Charm True Technique.

After obtaining this technique, Zhang Qiu suddenly understood many things.

Charm, in essence, is a kind of qi, generally condensed at the top of the head and appears red under mental perception. Due to the difference between men and women, it is divided into two types of qi: Charm Qi and Allure Qi, representing yang and yin.

The Charm True Technique is an ancient cultivation technique from the Qi Yun Sect, created to study and utilize these two types of qi. The Charm Peaches are magical treasures specifically refined by a great being to assist in the cultivation of the Charm True Technique.

It's like customizing a set of hardware to use a specific software. The entire set of hardware is designed for this software, so the Charm Peaches have many specialized functions that make the cultivation of the Charm True Technique easier. The Charm True Technique can also be considered the user manual for the Charm Peaches. Their relationship is like that of a sword and its technique.

The Charm Peach Treasure is the initial form of the Charm Peaches, though its effects are weaker, its functions are still complete, so the Charm True Technique can still be used with the Charm Peach Treasure.

The main functions of the Charm Peaches are three: absorption, enhancement, and entanglement.

Once the Charm Peach Treasure is near someone other than its owner with red qi as thick as a finger, it will automatically absorb their red qi. However, this process is very slow. If you feel unsatisfied, you can use mental power to activate the Charm True Technique for active absorption, which will be much faster and more thorough.

The absorbed charm, if not immediately enhanced, will condense into Charm Peaches on the treasure.

Before, Zhang Qiu could sense the Charm Peaches but couldn't see or touch them. With the Charm True Technique, he found that he could use the technique to pick the Charm Peaches and carry them away from the Charm Peach Treasure.

The picked Charm Peaches can enhance the charm of the user or others. However, when enhancing others, there is a restriction: it can only be given to someone of the opposite gender.

If the treasure's owner is a woman, it can only enhance men; now that the owner is Zhang Qiu, a man, it can only enhance women. Like repels like, and unlike attracts, so it cannot enhance someone of the same gender.

However, there is no such restriction when absorbing, as both Charm Qi and Allure Qi can be absorbed.

As for entanglement, it involves forcibly blending the red qi of two people. Red qi entanglement usually occurs when two people develop romantic feelings. Once forcibly entangled, it will make the two people enter a mysterious state, as if they were suddenly tied by the red thread of fate.

Zhang Qiu had already tried these functions before, but he was just exploring on his own without a systematic theory. Now, with the guidance of the technique, not only is the efficiency higher, but the power is also stronger.

At the same time, the Charm True Technique gave Zhang Qiu a pair of Charm Eyes, allowing him to see the location and source of charm.

Before, although Zhang Qiu could see the red qi above people's heads, there were many restrictions. First, the Charm Peaches had to be nearby, and the other person had to be within a certain distance. Otherwise, he couldn't see it.

Even if he saw a cloud of red qi above someone's head, he couldn't tell whose it was. Unless the owner of the red qi was present, he could only guess and deduce whose it was.

Now, Zhang Qiu could directly distinguish the red qi above each person's head, especially the components of the entangled red qi.

For example, the three Charm Peaches that just condensed, Zhang Qiu carefully examined and found that they all came from the entangled part above his head with Xiang Yufei.

Although Xiang Yufei was only a quasi-provincial beauty, one level below the provincial beauty Lin Lai, her Allure Qi was more deeply entangled with Zhang Qiu's Charm Qi, so the amount was greater, condensing into three Charm Peaches.

Whether absorbed or enhanced, Charm Qi and Allure Qi are only temporary effects. As long as the fundamental source of charm remains unchanged, whether it is absorbed or enhanced, it will return to its original state after some time.

For example, Wang Quanbin, the rich second generation, had his Charm Qi reduced from arm-thick to finger-thick when he first met Zhang Qiu. However, as long as his family didn't go bankrupt and he remained a rich second generation, his Charm Qi would return to its original arm-thick state.

Wealth is the source of his Charm Qi, and as long as the wealth remains, his Charm Qi will not fundamentally change.

Zhang Qiu had also enhanced his Charm Qi from finger-thick to arm-thick, but it soon returned to finger-thick.

Each of these three Charm Peaches can enhance a person's Charm Qi and Allure Qi to thumb-thick, equivalent to county-level charm.

The difference between county-level and city-level charm is about five times.

Now, Zhang Qiu looked at his own Charm Qi, which was about three fingers thick, equivalent to quasi-city-level charm. It was stronger than the first time he observed it, mainly because Xiang Yufei's Allure Qi had entangled with his, increasing his total Charm Qi.

As long as he enhanced two more Charm Peaches, his Charm Qi would reach arm-thick, equivalent to city-level charm. If he enhanced all three, it would be slightly stronger than city-level, but still not reach quasi-provincial standards.

After fully understanding the technique, a highly tempting idea suddenly popped into Zhang Qiu's mind. Should he find a girl to test the technique? At the same time, the idea of "completing passive tasks" that he had thought of recently also came to mind.

"Maybe I should give it a try! And test if I can complete passive tasks!" Zhang Qiu thought.

However, to complete the task, he needed to find a new girl, and it had to be a beautiful one. New girls were easy to find, and beautiful girls were also easy to find. Since he hadn't used up his radar for the day, he could walk around the campus and surely find a county-level beauty.

But how could he hug a girl he didn't know or had just met without being a pervert?

Using the Charm True Technique with the Charm Peach Treasure to forcibly entangle the red qi of two people could make the girl hug him. But this was too shameless, and what if the girl was left with a bad impression after she came to her senses? What if she misunderstood him? This would still be considered being a pervert.

So the question became, how could he get a hug without hurting the girl and without being misunderstood? (To be continued.)
