The fifth round of the game commenced.
Since both Bochang and Silver Wolf could precisely control their dice rolls,
the final decision-making power was entrusted to Aha.
This time, it fell on Bochang to receive a penalty.
Under Silver Wolf's sharp gaze,
Bochang chose Truth instead of risking another Dare recklessly.
A random number was rolled.
Aha asked, "Do you want to surpass your opponent across from you? If so, what position would you prefer for this 'surpassing'?"
Upon hearing such a question,
cold sweat immediately broke out on Bochang's forehead. This was a tricky dilemma! How should he respond?
Moreover, Silver Wolf was intently watching him, making it even more difficult to answer.
"If only... I should have chosen Dare!"
Tears of regret welled up inside Bochang's heart.
Aha remained unperturbed and said, "No worries, contestant Bochang, you have three minutes to consider your response. Please note... don't try to deceive me, okay?"
"Otherwise... the consequences, as you know." Aha's tone turned ominous.

[Option 1: Honestly answer: "Yes, I want it badly - craving those ample bosoms intensely." - Completion Reward: Praise of High Morals. At Belobog Administrative District Central Plaza's fountain, you can use one Praise of High Morals to attempt retrieving treasures from the fountain once. Note: This type of item will...]
[Option 2: Deceive Aha: "No, not at all. I'm a gentleman, completely above such vulgar thoughts." - Completion Reward: Unknown punishment from Aha.]
Seeing the reward for Option 1,
Bochang nearly couldn't contain his frustration.
"If I'm already in this predicament, it's unreasonable not to grant me at least one of the twelve talismans' powers."
"Who are you trying to fool with that Praise of High Morals...?"
Although internally raging with sarcastic thoughts,
Bochang still honestly chose the first option.
There was no other choice, after all.
He took a deep breath, exhaled, and composed himself before looking solemnly at Silver Wolf. "I do want to surpass her, to deeply desire those ample curves."
[Reward being issued—Congratulations! You have received the Praise of High Morals.]
Hearing the system's notification, Bochang felt a profound sense of despair within him.
Silver Wolf let out a soft snort.
With one hand on her hip, the hacker girl said, "I know I'm quite charming, so having such peculiar thoughts is understandable. However... I've never considered anything like that, so for you, it'll remain just wishful thinking."
Bochang remained silent, speechless.
Aha didn't waste any time.
The game continued, and for the sixth round, the victim was Silver Wolf again.
This slightly predictable back-and-forth pattern made Bochang suspect that Aha might be manipulating things behind the scenes.
Of course...
Without the ability to discern the true nature of events, Bochang could only go along with the flow.
Now they had reached the sixth round.
With just three more rounds remaining, it would soon be over if they could hold on.
For some reason,
in the sixth round, Silver Wolf chose "Dare" instead of "Truth."
This led Bochang to believe that there might be an undisclosed secret hidden within Silver Wolf's mind. Otherwise, why suddenly change strategy?
After Silver Wolf rolled a number...
Aha glanced at the card and announced, "Walk up to your opponent across from you, look deeply into their eyes, and say, 'You're so naughty... I love it.'"
Silver Wolf didn't expect to draw such a daring challenge.
Why couldn't it be something like barking like a dog instead?
"Seriously, so unlucky..." Silver Wolf rested her forehead against her hand, sighing.
Bochang remained motionless, quietly observing the other player, with peculiar images inexplicably surfacing in his mind.
"Don't let your thoughts wander."
Shaking his head, Bochang cleared those stray thoughts.
Gathering her courage, the hacker girl approached with a composed expression.
The black-haired youth did not move an inch.
In no time at all,
Silver Wolf, who was significantly shorter than Bochang, reached him.
Up until this point,
Bochang had remained completely undressed. Earlier, he considered putting on clothes but was stopped by Aha's intervention.
At least until the game concludes,
Bochang absolutely cannot re-clothe himself.
This was one of Aha's rules.
Therefore...
For now, Bochang could only temporarily flaunt his nudity.
As Silver Wolf approached, to avoid any accidental exposure,
Bochang covered his crotch discreetly.
He caught whiffs of a sweet fragrance lingering in the air.
As Bochang gazed at the close proximity of Silver Wolf, her slightly flushed cheeks, and those cherry lips he had just kissed, his heart remained unsettled for quite some time.
Without further ado, the closet began to sway gently.
Silver Wolf lifted her head, her soft hair ornaments swaying lightly. Striving to convey deep affection, she said, "You're so naughty... I really love it."
Although somewhat forced, hearing these words akin to a confession stirred profound emotions within Bochang's heart.
It's unfortunate that this is all pretend; how wonderful would it be if it were real?
For now, it was merely wishful thinking.
After speaking, Silver Wolf swiftly departed without hesitation, leaving only her striking silhouette behind. It felt reminiscent of a heartless jerk abandoning someone post-encounter.
Next came the seventh round.
Once again, Silver Wolf fell victim to fate and chose Truth or Dare.
Aha announced the challenge, "Walk behind your opponent on the opposite side, place both hands on their waist, and forcefully thrust your hips against their buttocks three times while saying each time: 'I super you! Super you! Super you!'"
Silence ensued, echoing the tranquility of a moonlit night over Cambridge Bridge. The hacker girl couldn't bring herself to speak, feeling that this task reeked of malicious intent.
Silence fell.
Silence is tonight's Cambridge.
The hacker girl remained mute, feeling that this challenge was brimming with malice.

[Option 1: Turn around and invite, "Go ahead, Silver Wolf, it doesn't matter if you're rough." - Completion Reward: Obtain a random item, ranging from a matchstick to a star destroyer. Note: Such items will...]
[Option 2: Refuse to comply, turn and run, saying, "I won't let you surpass me." - Completion Reward: Bad luck for the next 24 hours.]
Once again, there were no real choices.
Hope for a decent item this time.
Select Option 1.
Bochang turned around and said, "Go ahead, Silver Wolf, it doesn't matter if you're rough."
[Reward being granted - Congratulations! You have received the equipment: Super Soft White Knee-High Socks. This item possesses self-repairing and self-cleaning capabilities.]
These... could be useful for Clara.
Bochang's eyes lit up.
At that moment...
Aha emitted an extremely discordant sound.
"Oh-ho-ho! Did everyone see that? Contestant Bochang truly embodies self-sacrifice..."
"Look at his perky buttocks; it seems he's prepared for some intense action."
"Ladies and gentlemen, viewers, should we... perhaps provide Contestant Silver Wolf with a little prop? It would undoubtedly make things even more thrilling, wouldn't it?"
Aha pretended to listen attentively.
Terrified, Bochang frantically waved his hands. "No props! No props! No props!"
Important matters must be emphasized three times.
After all...
Heaven only knows what kind of prop Aha might produce.
What if it were a fake penis?
Just imagining it on Silver Wolf was utterly stomach-turning.
Moreover, the Hacker Girl still had tasks to complete afterward.
The thought of having such a thing thrust towards her made her scalp tingle with unease.
As Bochang envisioned this scenario, his strong reaction inadvertently amused Silver Wolf.
