My Level Zero System-Chapter 212: Approach

"Can I come inside?"

Kain made an offer, but was actually testing the limits of these people.

Although it was unknown what kind of relationship these four people had with each other, Kain temporarily grouped them into a common group, because they were all suffering from the same condition.

Kain's question was, on the one hand, to confirm the status of this person, or these people.

If the person standing at the door agreed to let him in, but the others did not, then it proved that they could not be grouped into a common target group, and needed Li Qing to separate them to target.

If this person refused to let him in, then there were two possibilities. First, these four people were different from each other, so they would make different decisions, if that was the case then Kain would just need to try again next time with someone else. Second, all four of these people refused to let him in, if this were the case, Kain would have to change his approach.

If all four of them have no objections to letting him in, then this will be interesting.

"What do you want to do in there?"

The other asked again, but Kain's eyes flickered slightly.

No refusal, just questioning. This is essentially an "open door" signal for him.

In a conversation between a person with a clear purpose and a person without a purpose. When the other person comes with a purpose, the person without a purpose will unconsciously prolong the story, essentially to help them not be too surprised. And all of this can only happen when the person without a purpose, although surprised by the behavior of the person with a purpose, does not hate or reject it.

They just subconsciously want to take more initiative in a conversation.

"I just wanted to come over and talk for a bit, is Cecilia here?"

Kain said, pretending to peek inside.

As Kain expected, this person did not stop this action, he only replied back.

"She is practicing now."

"Practice? Well, she's really diligent for still practicing this late."

Kain praised him, but secretly observed his reaction. Sure enough, his eyebrows relaxed, the corners of his mouth slightly pursed, seemingly very proud of being in Cecilia's team.

And just like that, Kain naturally entered the room.

At this point, even if he wanted to stop Kain from entering, it was already too late, because Kain had already expressed his goodwill and he had accepted it, causing him to have to consider more or less if he wanted to do any "negative" actions towards Kain in the future.

At the same time, his inner comrades wouldn't just kick Kain out right away, because Kain was currently "involved" with him, so outright kicking Kain out would be no different than demeaning him.

Of course, all of this only works when all the elements maintain a fragile balance. Otherwise, it all falls apart very quickly.

So, under the puzzled gazes of these people, Kain smiled friendly and found a place to sit down. He did not choose a place that was in front of and opposite to the four people, he chose a place that was slightly off to the side, so that the atmosphere of the conversation would not be too colorful between the host and the guest.

Because if that was the case, the other four would also unconsciously hide some things from Kain, because they didn't want to say too much to "outsiders".

This was an invisible battle, where Kain acted like a spider, carefully spinning his web, tightly wrapping around these four preys.

Previously, from the formation on the field, Kain already knew that Cecilia "avoided" these four people. To Cecilia, they were just tools for her to participate in the tournament without breaking any rules. Therefore, even though they were nominally teammates, Cecilia isolated herself from the others, from daily life, fighting, and everything else.

And that's the space Kain can operate in.

His previous question was a probe of these people to see what their attitude towards Cecilia was.

If they feel uncomfortable with Cecilia, then Kain will proceed to separate the two sides. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com

If they still admire Cecilia, not only will Kain not try to break up the relationship between the two, he will even push to make it "deeper".

Because he knows, what emotions these people in this situation will usually have and what they need.

In his head he simulated a situation.

A group of people admired Cecilia very much, wanted to fight with her and help her. However, in Cecilia's perception, she was the only one in the group. This led to the fact that these four people almost did not exist, only existing as a background behind Cecilia. They were very frustrated, very depressed, but also did not want to displease Cecilia, it was like a lump in their throat.

So, Kain could guess that they would let him in, even though they were opponents in this tournament, because they were really so idle that they were panicking.

Kain's eyes flashed, and he quickly came up with a convincing solution.

Very quickly, Kain opened his mouth, starting with a complaint.

"My teammates... you see, they're all girls. So we always hang out together, and as for me..."

To rationalize his coming here, Kain began to complain.

In his words, the situation in his team was no different from this team's. This was of course to gain sympathy.

The other four people also listened very attentively, after all, they were too idle, they needed something to temporarily get themselves out of this terrible idleness.

And Kain gave them the chance.

Very quickly, the story that was only spoken by Kain became a conversation between the two sides.

This is also a technique in communication, in short, there is a need to talk before there is a need to talk back.

Of course, Kain wouldn't be so tactless as to immediately steer the conversation to how they were being ignored by Cecilia. After all, there wasn't enough fermentation time, doing so would easily lead to dissatisfaction.

People like to hear stories of misery, unless they are the main character in that story.

Kain wanted them to speak their minds, and then he would take action.

So the conversation turned to another topic, how they met and admired Cecilia.

This was a fairly on-point topic, and quite positive for both these four and Cecilia, even though the relationship between the two sides wasn't that good.

Of course, Kain leading the conversation to this topic was not simply to lower the other four's guard, but since this topic was brought up, it would naturally lead to the topic of "we wanted to help Cecilia, but couldn't", because they all regretted their unfulfilled expectations.

But just as Kain was about to successfully guide their thoughts, Cecilia's cold voice came from behind him.

"Kain, what are you doing here?"

"You too, why did you let him in here?"

Cecilia's tone was extremely unkind, as if she was about to explode.

The others wanted to explain, but in front of Cecilia's authority, their words were stuck in their throats.

At this moment, Kain stood between them and Cecilia, opening his mouth to relieve the siege.

"Nothing, I just came here to talk to you a bit, right?"

Kain turned back and gestured. The guy who opened the door understood and quickly stood up to explain.

"Cecilia, he did say he had something to do and came to see you, so..."

Cecilia narrowed her eyes, looking straight at Kain, her voice filled with undisguised threat.

"Kain, I know your tricks, so don't even dream of playing any tricks here. Now get out."

"As for those other people, next time he comes, you are not allowed to contact him, understand?"

All four bowed their heads.

Kain shook his head slightly and also went outside quietly.

During that time, Kain observed the expressions of the other four, seeing them turn towards him with guilty expressions.

This was actually all within Kain's expectations.

For some reason, Cecilia was especially wary of people like him, but she wasn't smart enough to see through his tricks, and could only vaguely sense that he was up to something. This would lead to a problem, which was that Cecilia didn't know how to explain her doubts, and at the same time, her arrogant and aloof personality would also make her unwilling to bother to moderate the situation, but would just suppress it with oppression.

So in the eyes of her four teammates, Cecilia was just acting irrationally. She chased away a friendly guest they were chatting with.

Even though she said Kain used tricks, the others didn't feel like he used any tricks, because it was just a relatively normal inner conversation.

So, in this development, Kain naturally became a victim.

The guilt would push the other four to continue contacting him. And then, Kain's intentions would be revealed.
