As such, the World Ball was metaphorically set in motion, rolling ever-steadily closer down the hill of inevitability to its destination as ordained by the gods of Plot and Device.
The suitors were suiting up whilst licking their lips over their... stained photos of Sally.
Itvasme was plotting his pernicious plans, which involved chaining Zhang Lu to his desk and forcing him…
to write his Hairifying tale of the Boy who turned Dark…
Whilst at the same time intending to find an occasion to utilize his secret weapon C2H5OH (thanks blyatxblyat for the feedback and improvement)…
Valentine was climbing the rankings of popularity, and building capital for
Bob on political, social, and economic fronts.
Amidst the maelstrom of madness, Bob was still calmly doing his usual thing, training his Art of Rizz, his various abilities, and step by step, aspiring to draw closer to his plans of becoming a genetic success.
Sally was also just doing her usual queenly things, blessing the world with her queenly presence, refining her [Women's Intuition] and finding ways to best utilise her gift of [All Nurturing Life].

However! Another important matter had arisen.
Hugo's infiltration, along with Old Man Li's warning about the Dark Rizzards and the shadowy question mark man Itvasme Diogenes, had alerted Bob to an important matter. In addition to achieving his genetic goals, he needed to also have a plan to deal with the Dark Rizzards as well.
Bob, with his 2009700000 but still not yet OP Intelligence stat, had quickly figured out that the best thing to do of course was something that exponentially furthered his plans whilst exponentially decreasing the capabilities and influence of Dark Rizzardry at the same time...
And There were a few ideas that came to mind.
Firstly, he definitely had to… use… Hugo.
Hugo had been begging, on his knees, that night… and eventually, Bob had given him what he knew he truly wanted…
"Art of Rizz Training and some Employee Shares from the Become-A-Hero company!!!"
Of course, it hadn't been for free:
"Hugo… you have to understand… we… are… friends now."
Bob had said as he tilted Hugo's chin upwards to meet his tear-streaked face.
"Friends should give each other some benefits."
At this he whipped out a great big
contract, the throbbing terms of which made Hugo gasp.
He was to provide Intel to Bob about the movements of the Dark Rizzards, becoming a double agent! And should he ever break the contract, well then he really would be scr*wed… as he would then have to return all the previous assets he had received… with compounding interest, and moreover, Bob just might let slip to a certain Sonya how she had misjudged him… and that Hugo was in fact Consummate Chad material…
Of course, with his deep understanding of Human Nature from his Arts studies, Bob did not withhold hope, otherwise Hugo would be driven to desperation. Hugo was offered a potential place on the future Sperm Bank and he and his future family would receive access to the perks of the Education and Training Academy, a priceless perk that had Hugo gasping and choking again... as he spilled manly tears of gratitude.
As for his first mission, well Hugo was to leak Information to Itvasme, regarding a certain famous writer, who had the power to make Dark Rizzardry great again…
Of course Bob wasn't lying. This was the truth. However, having the power and actually using it were of course two completely different things…

Indeed, this was the second strategy to deal with the Dark Rizzards - via soft, or prevailing indirect influence.
This had been inspired from his cool conversation with Zhang Lu, who had happened to be a Super moderator on 5-Chan, sub-Bluedit, and D***sword, and who had explained how Japán had influenced generations to view them favourably through the power of pop culture, Animu and JAV. And throughout history, other nations had, and were continuing to do, similar things through the power of mass media!
Indeed, this was by far the more important long term strategy, since even if one were to somehow get rid of every Dark Rizzard on earth today, aside from it being a huge waste of human talent, eventually, their numbers would recover and they might even have become more desperate or ruthless, due to the prevalence of Dark Rizzard teachings that had arisen due to the desperate situation of many people in the world.
In truth, everything has its purpose. In certain scenarios, such as in very impoverished or challenging settings, where it was dog-eat-dog survival of the fittest, Dark Rizzard techniques of manipulation and self-focused ruthlessness had evolved and come into being for the purpose of short-term survival.
However, these techniques were extremely cruel, destructive and anti-life in the long term, and humanity was very gradually moving towards a world where the net positive energy in the world would mean that Dark Rizzard techniques would gradually become less and less relevant.
That would be a long long time away though, if never, so Bob knew he needed to take active steps in order to create a conversion from the roots up.
Instead, what was needed was education, as well as the improving of World Conditions so that Dark Rizzard techniques would become increasingly unpopular and more importantly, unnecessary.
This was where his Education and Training Academy would come into play.
Whilst at the same time furthering his own genetic legacy, Bob would also make the world a better and safer place putting systems in place so that people would feel empowered and valued enough to see the inherent devastation caused by Dark Rizzardry and to make the world a better place by providing education and opportunities for all...
Accordingly, utilising the capital from his Become-A-Hero Company, Bob finally set up a private Education and Training Academy, which would provide his future offspring the best Education and Opportunities that money and Rizz could buy. At this stage, It was only at Level 1, so it could only really accomodate for... 1 person... but Bob knew that building a good foundation couldn't be rushed. Having seen the importance of flexibility thanks to his his Level 86 [Adaptability], he also wished imbued this trait into the Academy so that his future children could be equipped in a constantly evolving world.
Moreover, having gone through the traditional schooling system himself, he quickly realised that the majority of what was taught wasn't all that useful for real life. Accordingly, he decided to start compiling his own Syllabus of Life, a true Curriculum Vitae, hopefully alongside consultation with Old Man Li, other Rizzmasters, and various other experts from various fields and disciplines... !!!
Now... with a steady income stream, and the beginnings of an Education and Training Academy... all that was needed... was to keep an eye out for someone who might be happy to help him with his plans... and to finally achieve a foothold on the ladder, hopefully leading to genetic success...!!!
