BXBX NOVEL Chapter 40 40. [Charming Scent]
"What a day…" sighed Lucius
In just a few short hours, a lot had actually happened. From doing the test, getting a shockingly high evaluation, to even meeting the main protagonist of the story.
He wasn\'t too sure, but Lucius had the sinking feeling that this would be the last time he got to rest for a long while.
From tomorrow, he would have to start his training at Sanctuary and his system was the only thing he could rely on.
[ Lucius Vexx - Love Points: 1130 ]
Lucius looked at the buyable talents and was shocked to find a suitable talent
[Charming Scent (purple) - 1000 LP]
Allows you to smell like the preferred scent of the heroine on any occasion. An all purpose perfume!
When Lucius saw this, he was shocked.
He hadn\'t actually paid that much attention to the talents before, after all, before now he was flat out broke. If he kept looking at talents back then it would be like a homeless man staring at a jewellery shop, that way of thinking would only end up hurting himself with longing.
But now that Lucius was looking at these talents, he quickly realised something strange.
The price range of 1000 LP could only be said to be getting started with all things considered.
The talents he could buy with 1000 LP were all pretty basic, mainly just around white and green talents, but this charming scent was actually a purple grade talent!
Although Lucius could clearly see from the description that this talent wasn\'t combat related, the purple talent rage alone was enough to make Lucius a little greedy.
If he didn\'t buy this now, then with the price of regular purple grade talent who knows when he\'ll be able to afford them?
Lucius was a little conflicted.
He could spend the money to buy a basic combat talent or he could go with this strange auxiliary talent.
Lucius was about to buy it when he suddenly paused.
\'This talent, wasn\'t it a little plain?\'
The name was called charming scent but from the description, it didn\'t seem to have any charming effect. It only said that it could only make him smell how a heroine wanted him to smell, not directly charm them like some magical spell.
Lucius\'s mind was filled with countless more thoughts as they started to swirl in his head as he rapidly calculated the possibilities
"Ahh! Fuck it!"
Lucius couldn\'t be bothered anymore with all this useless thinking! If he carried on, he might exhaust himself to death.
When it came to the unknown, it was either useful or it wasn\'t.
Even if it was a dud, it only meant that he would have to stay low-key for a little while longer.
Besides, with a name like charming scent, Lucius didn\'t believe it wouldn\'t be able to increase the rate at which he would gather Love Points. If that was the case, then at least he would be able to make up for the loss faster than before.
Without any more hesitation, Lucius decided to buy the charming scent talent and watched with silent tears as a whole 1000LP evaporated into thin air.
After buying the talent, Lucius waited for a while and then…
Nothing?
There was no itching or any strange sensation like he had felt before when he bought the eyes of appraisal.
\'This… was I scammed?\'
This was the first thought Lucius had after realising nothing happened.
His thoughts went unfounded.
Some mere [Eyes of Appraisal]that cost a meagre 200 LP were enough to elicit some small changes, much less a big hitter like [Charming Scent] that not only cost 1000 LP but was bona fide purple grade talent!
Lucius brought his arm to his nose and took a sniff
"Sniff! Sniff!"
Unfortunately, Lucius didn\'t find anything different. He smelt just how he usually did. No, in fact, he even smelt a bit worse than he usually did.
He was still a little sweaty after going through the eventful day.
Although Lucius was disappointed that he didn\'t find any change in his body, his disappointment wasn\'t too much. After all, he wasn\'t a heroine and it was specifically stated that the skill only worked in heroines.
If it worked on himself, what would that make him?
Wouldn\'t he also be the heroine at that point?
By then he would be able to earn Love points by falling in love with himself! Such a thing was just too narcissistic!
Even if the god wanted to play a prank on Lucius, he wouldn\'t do this.
He could not let Lucius become even more narcissistic than himself when he was a literal god!
Realising there was no way to figure out the effects of the Lucius decided to just give up on it for now.
Thinking like this, Lucius just entered the Luxurious shower he had in his room.
Lucius stayed in the shower for quite a while, enjoying the pleasant feeling of the warm water against his skin.
That\'s when Lucius heard a strange sound inside his room.
\'Hmm? What is that?\'
\'Someone\'s broken in?\'
Lucius wasn\'t just confused about what happened, he was even a little fearful.
After all, even though he was happily in the academy, he was still a wanted criminal.
His background wasn\'t clean, so at just the slightest problem he became suspicious and fearful.
Lucius didn\'t dare enjoy the feeling of the shower anymore and quickly wrapped a towel around his waist and cautiously exited the shower.
As Lucius\'s heart was beating hard, he looked out and was instantly put at ease.
That\'s because the person he saw wasn\'t an enemy, but a familiar set of purple eyes.
It was Camilla.
The second Lucius breathed a sigh of relief, he was surprised to hear a strange notification.
LP+ 100
Lucius was a little confused.
\'I didn\'t even do anything, so why did my love points increase?\'
What Lucius didn\'t know was that right now, his charm could be said to be in its peak state.
