The spiderweb-like illustration remains on the cover and behind the tables of "The Complete Guide to Dating for Beginners." All the text and layout are exactly the same as in Luo Binhan's memory. But when he continued to turn down the page, what appeared on the next page was not a blank page, but an illustration that occupied the entire page.
It was still a black and white drawing in the style of a sketch. At first glance, it looked like some kind of simple map - but it was not a geographical plan, but more like an underground cross-section. The top of the book depicts many trees, hillsides, birds, animals, and unusually small people, all moving above the surface. Under the surface is a large area of ink-black land, as well as tunnels or caves represented by gray lines. The routes are intricate and difficult to remember, but most of them eventually lead to a closed cave somewhere.
There is only one that originates from the right side of the ground and is marked with a small circle symbol at the top. Luo Binhan followed its path to explore the key points. After twists and turns underground, he finally reached the bottom of the page. It was a blank, square space of huge proportions, completely different from the other natural caves in the painting, but there were no details in the painting to suggest what it represented. Luo Binhan could only guess that it was some kind of treasure—the painting looked like some kind of treasure map that guided people underground.
There is some blank space on the left side of the illustration, with a few lines of poetry-like text written on it. Its handwriting is not the neat printing used in the text of this book, but some kind of clumsy and crooked beginner's handwriting:
who I am?
The king is golden,
The moon is white,
And I'm black.
Walking into the long night, there will be no me,
Even if you embrace the light, you will not be able to survive.
I am a shadow.
Luo Binhan did not dare to waste too much time on this illustration with a vague theme. Asabam did not confiscate all their personal belongings. That may just be due to her personality, but it does not mean that she will not change her mind when she sees such a suspicious magic book. He glanced at the painting briefly, trying to remember as many details as possible, and then turned to the next page, hoping for some easier-to-understand explanation.
But what caught his eye was another sketch-like illustration. It seems to have a clearer theme than the previous one: a hillside in the daytime, with a huge willow tree growing on the top of the slope. An old man sat under the shade on the right side of the willow tree. He leaned against the rough tree trunk, holding a recorder-like instrument in his hand, and turned to look out of the painting.
The posture looked like he was looking down the slope at someone. But the strange thing is that the old man's face is painted black, preventing the viewer from seeing any details of his face. Luo Binhan didn't know what that meant. Is it because the book refuses to reveal the face of the person in the painting, or is it that the face of the old man in the painting is not sufficiently descriptive?
On the right side of the old man, in the blank space below the thick hanging wicker, there are also a few lines of poorly written words:
The old man who came playing the flute,
Visited the children underground.
His eyes are darker than the night,
I can see shadows at night.
Luo Binhan hurriedly finished reading the poem. He vaguely felt Asabam standing in front move, but he hadn't turned around yet. So he ignored the equally puzzling illustration and continued to turn to the next page. Fortunately, there was a lot of new content in the book this time, and he finally found the explanatory text he desperately wanted:
Congratulations, dear reader. When you see this, it proves that you have worked hand in hand with this book and successfully taken the most critical step: finding the most suitable date for you. Why is this the most critical step? Because everything is always the hardest at the beginning. A wise choice will make the follow-up smooth!

Next, you should conduct more and more detailed research on your favorite candidates so that you can take more targeted actions. There are a few questions for you to determine: What does she want most? What kind of person does she like best? What is her favorite thing to do? You need to figure out these questions before you ask for a date without boring her.
You may think that hobby research is a tricky and dangerous thing. But once again, there is no need to worry! This book is a social savior for those who are born or acquired social incompetence. In order to make it easier for readers to understand the object, this book has built-in thirteen basic universal divination techniques of the White Tower. Through your contact with the other person's body fluids, the divination results will tell you the answers to the above questions. If you can't pry her defenses off, why not try to get her saliva, tears, sweat, or blood? A successful indirect kiss completes the divination!

You've got some great tips on your sweetheart. Now you must have a better understanding of her, enough information to formulate your next course of action. If you are still not completely sure, this book recommends adopting a "simple smile social method" invented by Baita to shorten the distance between you. The extremely simple and effective method can be divided into three parts: first, try to keep smiling at her for as long as possible to make the other party believe that you are stable and trustworthy; try to live with her in a warm, bright and colorful place , so that she will associate pleasant feelings with you; find an opportunity to stare at each other for more than ten seconds with her under the above two premises, because if you have charm or hypnosis talent, it is very likely to be triggered by chance (if Unfortunately for you, you didn't, and when the other person asks about it, you tell her that you were attracted by her beauty).
Go ahead. Now that you have learned how to deal with an attractive candidate, go out and have more contact with her. When you are fully confident, answer the following three questions in the underlined areas:
Her favorite thing? Her favorite thing? Her favorite person?
Remember, the more precise and detailed your answers are, the more relevant the advice this book can provide. We will move to the next stage after you complete the form.
Luo Binhan read these words at a glance, then immediately closed the book and hid it in the inner compartment of the pocket. He thought with an expressionless expression that Blue Magpie had often smiled at him in the past (which was quite an effort for a skeleton), that she herself often wore colorful clothes, and that they must have looked at each other for more than ten seconds. If this is the communication method that the White Tower is proud of, he is not surprised why the last few White Tower mages were killed by the Dwarf Star Guests - Asabam looks like a person who hates colors. And that's all this book can give him at this stage. It can neither tell him information on how to escape from the killer, nor can it give him any ability to protect himself. Its only and eternal purpose is to let him date Asabam. Is that possible? The first thing this book does is to recommend Yaleriga to Bangbang, and the second thing is to recommend Asabam to him. Isn’t this really some kind of suicide manual disguised as relationship guidance?
He began to believe that this was the truth. However, when Asabam finished listening to the shadow world and turned around to ask them to change their route, Luo Binhan still tried his best to smile at her.
Asabam looked at him. Luo Binhan couldn't speak, but continued to smile. Asabam didn't even respond. His black eyes were locked firmly on him, as if attracted by some invisible magnetic force. is it possible? He thought secretly in his heart. Could he have some hypnotic power of which he was unaware?
At this time Asabam spoke.
"You can't kill me," she said, sounding certain that Luo Binhan was planning to assassinate her. When Luo Binhan's smile froze, she seemed to think that he had given up the assassination plan, so she walked away indifferently.
