Bob refines his goals

Of course, Bob had no intentions of resting on his laurels. After every success, there are always two paths.

Some would use it as motivation, understanding that they had just taken an insignificant step in the larger scheme.

Others would become Arrogant Young Masters (AYM), overestimate their abilities and forget their roots, leading them to unwisely bully a Trash to Treasure Protagonist (TTTP) and ultimately leading them down the inevitable path of encountering a resounding

*Smack!!! ( —ack!) ( —ack) * The SFX and image of a hand striking bare skin echoed vividly in Bob's mind.

Indeed, this was the crisp, sweetly satisfying sound of glorious faceslapping deeply enjoyed by all WebNovel Connoisseurs throughout the Thousand lands of cultivation!

From reading the Preface of Vol. 2 of 'the Art of Rizz' given to him by Old Man Li, Bob knew that he needed to improve his faceslapping skill to be ready for future plot developments, and so, using the funds from his "Become-A-Hero" Company, he bought himself a sandbag dummy, dressed it in green, Standard AYM Robes which he bought from the aptly named 'BaoTao' store online, and made sure to slap it at least 27 times per day.

*Smack!!*

*Smack!!*

*Smack!!!!!*

The angry, proud sneer of the dummy's face, (which Bob had handdrawn on in black texta marker following Old Man Li's advice for 'added realism'), soon became a lopsided shocked look of surprise as the AYM dummy had the stuffing knocked out of it.

Initially, Bob was only able to strike at 27% of his current potential power, but after numerous training sessions, he increased this number considerably, to 43%. This was enough to send not only a typical AYM flying, but now even the expected follow-up-Uncle of the AYM, an Elder who had likely reached the Fifth stage of the Exceptional-Eric Rizz Core, would also be sent sprawling back, spewing bread, in the same strike.

[Ding! ding! Thanks to this training, his forearm muscle size increased by 12.67%, and his Palm Resistance also increased by 5 points!]

More importantly, it was now time for him to study Vol. 2 of 'The Art of Rizz' in more detail.

[Secret Excerpt from "The Art of Rizz" Manual, Vol. 2]

"Dear Rizzist,

Welcome to Volume 2 as we continue along your path to Rizz mastery…

With great Rizz comes great responsibility. You have now reached a level where you have Awakened to your Innate Rizz potential, and have experienced firsthand how having an exceptional Rizz Index has the power to completely change your Reality. Even if someone were initially scorned by the Heavens as Trash, with a high enough Rizz Index, it is possible that their life's original destiny could be altered.

Even so!

There is an important matter now to bring to your attention.

Usually at this point, now, if not later, most aspiring Rizz Masters will need to make a decision.

What exactly to do with your Rizz Power?

Rizz is energy, power, and just like any power, it can be used for different purposes. Your next step is to understand your power, and to use it in its most effective way. You must know clearly what you intend to do with your Rizz power. Only then will you awaken it's true potential…."

"Know clearly what you want to do with your Rizz huh?…"

Bob meditated deeply on these words. Indeed,

Everyone was different and had different goals in life.

Bob's main goal was to become a genetic success. At this stage, he had improved his genetic rating to a higher standard from his original E+++++++ rating, but there was still a long way to go.

How could he continue to improve his genetic quality and ensure that his genes would have the best chance to perpetuate forever?

There were two obvious strategies.

The first would be focused on quantity; namely, as mentioned earlier, to create as many Bob and Bobette Jnrs as possible by rizzing up as many legal, willing and consenting partners over the age of 18 as he could find, sowing his man-seeds as well as his cryogenic supply in as large a surface area as possible. He called this the 'Spray and Pray' method.

The second strategy was quality over quantity, namely to find 'The One', that is, to invest in one high quality genetic partner and to invest maximum resources in order to create a small number of the very highest quality offspring possible. This Bob termed the 'Spray and Stay' approach.

Being a genius however, (though not OP), Bob perceived that there were actually several other secret strategies.

For example, thirdly, you could claim that since all humans are related from the same ancestors anyway, that all of Mankind is already your family, and as long as humans survive in the future, you could consider that as victory. Thus his life goal would be to focus on Humanity's Ultimate Survival in the Universe. This was the 'Spray Away' approach, which meant he would treat all of humanity as his brothers and sisters, uncles, aunties, grandpas and so on, and so long as in the end Humanity didn't die out, then he could consider that as genetic success; moreover, this would allow him to focus on maximizing his contributions to humanity itself.

All this was well and good, but It was obvious that there were no guarantees in life.

Everyone is searching for Immortality. All Bob could do was try his best, and maximize his chances.

For some, it might have been a very difficult decision, since each strategy would lead to very different trajectories in his development.

If he chose Option 1, 'Spray and Pray', then he would likely become a master womanizer, a Casanova, probably become the president of a sperm bank company which largely consisted of the fruits of his own… research, and proceed to acquire as many resources and opportunities as possible to maximize his offspring's genetic quality, though the sheer quantity of descendants would mean that a lot would come down to luck and their own decisions.

If he pursued option 2, he would focus on maximal resource acquisition and self improvement, likely get married normally like an average Joe but with Gigachad abilities, and maximise his efforts towards raising a few kids.

If he followed option 3 then he would aim to ensure Humanity itself would survive whatever happened in the future, allowing him to focus on pure contribution - meaning he would likely become a WebNovel writer of course! (only (half) kidding! :P ) He would aim to create a legacy that would self perpetuate and have maximal impact on people's lives, whether they realized it or not. Certain Scientists, Teachers, Writers and Artists had indeed changed the world and history through their actions, discoveries, or creations, but Bob's focus would be on the entire Human Race's future Survival against the odds of Time and the Universe itself. This most likely would result in him establishing influence through maxing out his Rizz stat, and allowing for the creation of Movements that could influence the education, foundation and the future of human thought.

Whilst some might struggle with which path to follow, for Bob, the way to go was crystal clear.

There was only one solution for one who aspired to the way of the godly GigaChad, who aspired to reach the levels of 'Grand Rizzmaster' and beyond, one who had been blessed by Divine the Heavens…

…Bob would aim to do all of them of course!
