Chapter 1703: Chapter 693: Best Actor Zhou Wang

"Brother Dog even took advanced acting classes?"

Tang Yiming and the others outside the window were dumbfounded as they watched.

So-called movie kings are people who can make ordinary actions like drinking water or smoking a cigarette carry a different kind of meaning.

Just like Mr. Liang, who became a legend in the film industry for twenty years with only a single look, still unsurpassed to this day.

Right now, Zhou Wang had a bit of that same vibe.

Whether it was the way he walked, or the posture he had when he sat down, in every small movement, that sense of loneliness just rushed out at you.

It wasn’t that they suspected Zhou Wang of putting on a show, it’s just that with how well they knew him, they kept feeling something was off.

Zhou Wang had never taken an acting class, but on the 22nd of this month, just two days ago, when the tag on the Soul Greeting Card from his senior was refreshed, he picked up a new Talent Skill—

"Emotional Resonance."

Zhou Wang gave this hard-to-describe Skill a short name: "Empathy."

In Zhou Wang’s view, "Empathy" in essence was more like an ability to see into people’s hearts, while at the same time he could suppress and hide his own emotions in an extremely short time, then rapidly adjust himself so that every word and action would more easily trigger other people’s emotional resonance.

Isn’t that also a kind of acting... just a higher-tier kind, a kind of performance that can quickly infect others.

This time the soul mark didn’t directly grant Zhou Wang any Skills, but it did give him, to a certain extent, the ability to toy with people’s hearts. That was even more terrifying, a bit like a watered-down version of Jhin’s Stage Costume, only without any side effects.

...Back in the café, although part of it was because Qu Peining herself was useless, at least a good half of the reason was that this bastard Zhou Wang had turned on cheats.

Under the influence of "Empathy," Qu Peining had muddle-headedly let Zhou Wang carry her into the restroom, then muddle-headedly let Zhou Wang strip her bare, and then... The whole process, Qu Peining didn’t feel anything was wrong.

Even though she’d rather die than admit it, deep down she only felt... that this was something she herself was longing for.

This is the horror of "moistening things silently."

Zhou Wang had only tried his hand a little and was already constantly sighing. As expected of a Skill sent over by Demon Brother—if it wasn’t used on the righteous path, then it really was quite evil, very much like that Small Ball Mastery in a different form.

Right now, in order to make the women in the room unconsciously feel sympathy for him before he even opened his mouth, Zhou Wang had already activated the Skill... Tang Yiming and the others, because they were watching from outside and separated by a pane of glass, actually weren’t much affected by the Skill, which was why it all felt a bit off to them.

But as long as they had stepped into the big living room, any woman who looked at Zhou Wang now would feel a kind of uncontrollable sadness. Even though Zhou Wang hadn’t said anything yet, they suddenly found themselves tongue-tied.

Let alone them— even Young Master Zhang, who followed in last, now had a grave expression.

Looks like Brother Dog’s situation is even bigger than I imagined...

"Sit down, everyone."

Under all kinds of gazes, Zhou Wang smiled slightly and spoke to invite them.

And that was when an interesting scene unfolded. With the sofa in the big living room plus some scattered soft chairs and leather stools, there were enough seats, but most of the women were hesitating over where they should sit. Only four women practically moved at the same time and made their choices.

They were Ding Yi, Xia Xiwei, Jiang Qingkui, and Qi Jiayi.

Ding Yi unceremoniously took the spot at Zhou Wang’s right hand, then turned to call out to Jiang Mo, who had somehow ended up standing in a corner of the living room.

Xia Xiwei was a half step slower; smiling like a flower, she chose the seat at Zhou Wang’s left hand, then beckoned to Miss Di and Miss Gu.

There was a hint of surprise on Miss Di’s face—she probably hadn’t expected Xia Xiwei to take the initiative to call her over—but she really didn’t know whether she should sit farther away, so in the end she accepted this invitation of unclear meaning and, together with Miss Gu, sat down next to Xia Xiwei.

Then came Jiang Qingkui. She chose the set of sofas directly facing Zhou Wang, just across the coffee table from him. That also meant that, as long as Zhou Wang didn’t deliberately turn his head, he would have the most eye contact with her.

Zhou Wang could clearly feel that Jiang Qingkui chose this spot not only because of her tsundere personality, but also so she could better observe him and judge the truth of everything he was about to say.

Xu Wenqian and the barely noticeable Miao Ying followed Jiang Qingkui and took seats there.

Qi Jiayi chose a spot that was somewhat off to the side, not very eye-catching, with a faint sense of being on the edge. But her location had one advantage... she could take in everyone’s reactions.

Without enough information, you can’t make the right decisions... a clever person’s move.

Sun Xining and Xu Lingyue sat down with Qi Jiayi, then Zhong Huilan pulled Linlin over and squeezed in as well.

After that it was the four sisters from Colorful’s dorm. All the other spots were taken, so they could only sit together on another empty sofa on the opposite side. The sofa was long enough, but the four girls sat huddled together, leaving large gaps of empty space. That feeling of banding together and presenting a united front was very obvious.

The slightly frail Hua Suisui, who had convinced herself she was only tagging along, and Lin Ran sat by themselves on a soft chair; Lin Ran sat sideways on the armrest, her hand resting on Suisui’s shoulder.

Lastly, Young Master Zhang, who for some reason suddenly felt a bit extra, quietly moved a leather stool over and sat down in a corner just outside the sofa area.
