Achoo! Sally sneezed even as the Blueprint download crept up towards completion - it was currently around 86-7%.
What were the rest of the ARSES doing?
She knew now from comms that the Dark Rizzards now had two out of the five Blueprints, and that they were potentially on the verge of obtaining pieces three and four from Jemima and Lazarus.
This left only herself and Fergus as the final lines of defence to keep the EVP Technology Blueprints from falling into the wrong hands.
At the same time, the Dark Rizzards hadn't been without their own setbacks. Jon and Clive had whittled down their numbers with their own unique special abilities, and Lazarus and Jemima would certainly take a lot to overpower. As it stood, Sally estimated that the Dark Rizzard delegation themselves would be reduced to around 46-9% of their full strength when they came for Fergus and herself…

Meanwhile Bob was also beginning to make a move. He had been keeping an eye on proceedings, and knew that as the MC he needed to actually do something every now and again, after all according to the title of the series this was meant to be about his Adventures at the end of the day.
Luckily, hanging around the Old Man Master Li had not been without its benefits.
For one thing, whilst in other novels, the MC would be constantly fighting, doing life and death battles only to level up by a few % each time and in the end, even if they reached 100% of their potential after 3000 chapters, only to realise that they were ultimately just a frog in the well and that there was in fact a whole new universe to cultivate…
Bob on the other hand got to enjoy eating hotpot, levelling up his Rizz and furthering his plans enjoying the quiet life whilst his alter-egos also allowed him to gain exp from the comfort of his own couch.
It wasn't difficult to figure out which was the more preferable lifestyle.
But, regardless of the method, all this hinged upon him making steady progress towards his goals - MC status didn't come free, he did actually need to do stuff.
Bob in fact still wanted, and needed to make some progress into levelling up from A++++++ to SSS+++++++ grade.
In terms of World Domination, although he had figured out more and more pieces of the puzzle, He was still far from his goal.
Currently, his Plan of achieving World Domination had been modified and fine tuned from his early days where he just wanted to fill the Universe with Bobs and Bobette Juniors.
He had adopted the three pronged plan of Spray and Pray, Spray and Stay, and Spray and Slay, but even this had turned out to not be the full picture.
He also realised that, through the Rizz studies, that imposing his will was not enough, nor was it the way to go. Respect and Free Choice was crucial, and so he had to essentially let the world - currently comfortable in its traditions and current beliefs - decide for itself regarding the Future of Humanity - through Education, Training, and Proof that this was truly a better way of doing things. In other words… what he came up with… actually had to be *good* - truly better in a way that people could understand, accept, and freely choose for themselves. Only then could he truly be said to achieve World Domination - when the World itself, accepted and chose that for Itself!
A relationship where you forced someone to do something wasn't a real relationship - and so it was the case here. Bob… slowly but surely… would woo the World itself.
And In the end, it still came down to one thing.
That's right. It was the Power of Rizz!!!
He now realised that had to truly connect not only with individuals, but whole peoples, whole cultures, whole countries, and whole civilisations, collective beliefs and ways of thinking.
To truly understand what they believed in, what they valued, and how the resources of this Planet could be best utilised to create a Win-Win for everyone involved!
At the same time, Free Choice, and CARE was still crucial.
Increasingly, Success was looking like a World that he shaped through Inspiration, and increasingly, he was beginning to realise the limits of what Humans themselves could do by themselves and through just sheer willpower, and the possibility of factors that went beyond what the naked eye could see - factors such as 'Imagined Reality' or the Beliefs of a Collective of People.
That's right.
Beyond one person's [Intention]… beyond their own [Awareness]… also existed the beliefs - the awareness, intentions, hopes dreams - of the Collective, which Bob now termed [The Collective Consciousness].
In order to become a true Rizzmaster, he would have to master not only his own [Intention] and [Awareness], but also connect with the [Collective-Consciousness] of the World itself!!!

Think of major World influencers - Jesús, Budhaha, Amazoné, Googlé… all of them had one thing in common - many people, you could even say a large majority, genuinely believed that they added value to the World, and made people's lives *better* in some way.
It seemed that History rewarded those that tapped into, and aligned with these pro-life beliefs - systems, frameworks, and narratives which unified, and gave increasing opportunities for people to live out their best lives.
What would constitute a true step forward for the World?
Again, Rizz was again the crucial component of his plans. Bob would share with the World… the meaning of True Connection!!!!
