Pretending To Be A Boss-Chapter 386 - 50: Interrogating the Ancient Ape and Rounding Off

Tang Xian was not a nitpicker, but he still reminded her in a friendly manner:

"The official dictionary definition of ’romantic charm’ refers to the amorous feelings between men and women, and it’s noted as having mostly a derogatory connotation. So it’s best not to understand it naturally. And there’s no such charm between you and me to decipher."

Qing JiuYu felt both amused and annoyed:

"Master, if I weren’t so weak right now, I would definitely take care of you."

Tang Xian stopped walking and said:

"What do you think of Tang Feiji?"

"Not much."

"The biochemical principle of sex involves the release of dopamine in the neural junctions of the brain, causing pleasurable sensations. If you insert an electrode into a rat’s brain and give it a button that releases pleasure, it will press that button continuously until ’there’s not a drop left’ and then die of exhaustion.

The difference between humans and rats is that humans cannot insert electrodes into the subthalamus, so humans need a companion to go to hotels with regularly to relieve stress."

"You should consider Tang Feiji more, based on his performance today, he’s super brave."

Qing JiuYu adjusted her mood, as today Tang Xian was her hero, and she didn’t want to be angry.

She decided to ignore Tang Xian’s of-the-cuff, brutally direct remarks.

She pursed her lips and said:

"I never believed the Endless Turtle’s words before, I thought Bai Mansheng and I were worlds apart, how could I possibly steal her man? Or how could she possibly steal a man from me?"

Tang Xian did not respond.

Tang Feiji had already cornered the butler-dressed ancient, long-eared ape in the distance.

"Later I thought about it and realized that maybe the turtle really had something special."

Tang Xian spoke again:

"Fortunetelling is really just about rounding up or down. You state a broad range, and the person being told, because of their desire, is easily suggestible and hence feels that the fortune telling is accurate."

Qing JiuYu wanted to say that he really didn’t get it.

But in order to avoid hearing even more clueless responses, she stopped herself.

Still, she was very curious about the meaning of Tang Xian’s words.

"What do you mean?"

"That’s the Forer effect, demonstrated through an experiment by the psychologist Bertrand Fowler in 1948.

After administering the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory to a group of people, he presented two sets of results and asked the participants to determine which one was theirs. In fact, one set was the individual’s own results, while the other was an average of most people’s responses.

Interestingly, participants thought the latter more accurately depicted their personality traits.

This also illustrates that people are very likely to believe that a general, generic description of personality traits specifically suits them, even if they are nothing like that."

The reason why so many boys and girls believe in horoscopes is exactly the same. It’s like some people are Leos, who, despite being insecure inside, still feel they are like a romantic and proud lion."

Qing JiuYu did understand.

Humans indeed have unmatched achievements in these areas compared to other creatures.

But she shook her head and said:

"The predictions of the Endless Turtle are very accurate. They’re not like what you’re talking about."

"But that’s irrelevant to you and me. ’Stealing a man’ is a very generic statement. I have stolen women too; in a sense, I stole Li Xiaoyu from the lower levels of the Thirty-Nine Strongholds, and today I stole you from the Holy Land."

"Alright, alright, I can’t argue with you," Qing JiuYu bit her lip.

"Because that’s the reason. We live in this world, and we have to be reasonable."

Tang Xian remained nonchalant.

"But what if I really like you?"

"Then that would really be unreasonable."

Qing JiuYu was lost for words and suddenly felt a bit sorry for that human girl named Li Xiaoyu.

Whether she liked Tang Xian was debatable, but it was clear as day that the young girl liked Tang Xian.

Only, to like such a man, one would need a really strong heart.

Tang Xian did not pay attention to Qing JiuYu’s stray thoughts, as a piece of information suddenly flashed through his sea of consciousness.

A skill had dropped.

The deaths of two calamity-level creatures had finally resulted in Tang Xian gaining another skill.

About skills, Tang Xian now had a preliminary conjecture. Continue reading at novelbuddy

Every creature has its unique abilities.

But whether one can pick them up depends on luck.

If you don’t get it the first time you face that creature, killing the same species again won’t result in any drops.

So the strength of each Eden demon child is actually not the same.

If there were many Eden demon children.

And when two Eden demon children faced off, the one with more luck would probably win, while the unlucky one would be defeated.

Tang Xian felt he was somewhat unlucky.

After all, he had killed many creatures, and he had less than five skills to show for it.

...

...

The ancient long-eared ape trembled under the dragon’s watchful eyes.

Tang Feiji was very concerned, after all, the red dragon’s meat had been charred by lightning, which was a waste.

No one dared to eat the meat of the Plague Source.

The Jiaolong had died in a foul-smelling pit; today, it had fought bravely, performing extraordinarily. But there was not a single edible prize to show for it.

Tang Feiji turned back into human form and said:

"Before that cunning human asks you questions, I want to ask you first, can you transform into a human?"

Tang Xian unfortunately did not hear this conversation, otherwise, he would probably be very pleased with Tang Feiji’s growth.

He might even redefine Tang Feiji’s IQ from 0.8 Dong to 1.1 Dong, causing Dong Ran to once again take the last place in the Sheng Tang Squad.

The ancient ape was confused, looking at Tang Feiji in terror.
