Instantly, an awkward silence filled the room.
Bochang stared at Silver Wolf, and Silver Wolf gazed back at Bochang.
"Why does his dare involve me? And mouth-to-mouth?" Silver Wolf trembled indignantly.
While Bochang pondered what to do, Aha interjected, "Friendly reminder, you have only three minutes to complete the task. If unable to finish, it will be considered non-cooperation and result in a penalty."
With these words,
both participants instantly understood Aha's intention.
Since Bochang was the one assigned the task, Silver Wolf technically wasn't involved.
Therefore...
If Bochang fails to kiss Silver Wolf as part of the dare,
only he would face the penalty.
Compared to typical truth or dare punishments, the penalties from the Age of Joy were clearly on another level. Moreover, based on Silver Wolf's earlier inquiry, any penalties incurred also counted towards the overall tally.
This implies that...
By not cooperating, Silver Wolf could force Bochang to accept another penalty, increasing it from two instances to three, thus widening her advantage and enhancing the likelihood of obtaining Aha's Enigmatic Gift.
It was clearly a trap, designed to incite conflict between them.
Bochang didn't particularly care about Aha's Enigmatic Gift, but he couldn't be sure if Silver Wolf felt the same way.
Even if she didn't value it...
Would Silver Wolf consent to being kissed by him?
This wasn't just any kiss; it meant a significant step beyond mere friendship.
If she refused, Bochang would understand completely.
"What choice will you make?"
With seconds left before the mission deadline, Bochang took his first step forward, swinging his hips, while Silver Wolf remained motionless.
This was a promising sign.
He then took a second step, then a third...
Bochang quickly approached Silver Wolf.
During his advance, the hacker girl did take half a step back.
However...
Silver Wolf did not explicitly show any rejection.
This reassured Bochang greatly. If the hacker girl had been determined to flee, knowing his access to Dragon Talisman's third-rated power, capturing her would have proven quite challenging.
After all, Naked Clothes amplifies damage, not movement speed.
Even if he managed to catch her, successfully kissing her would still be difficult.
Standing before Silver Wolf, Bochang didn't rush to kiss her but instead said, "I thought you'd try to dodge... Your willingness is truly unexpected and touching."
"Do you really believe I'm such a fool, losing my composure at the sight of rewards? Although reluctant to admit it, we're now tied together like grasshoppers on the same string. Sabotaging each other benefits neither of us. The best approach is to peacefully navigate this game." Silver Wolf placed one hand on her hip, focusing intently on Bochang's face. "I was actually worried you might succumb to greed..."
Indeed.
Silver Wolf feared that Bochang might betray him.
After all...
In the current situation:
Bochang had two talismans, and Silver Wolf had one.
The player with fewer held the advantage.
With the hacker girl ahead of them, if Bochang wanted to secure victory, causing some mischief would likely be his quickest route.
"Don't worry, Silver Wolf, I won't let greed cloud my judgment. Let's work together amicably."
"Oh-ho-ho! Did you all see that, viewers? Just moments ago they were enemies, but now they've reached such a cooperative state. Truly an enviable relationship..." Aha suddenly interjected, interrupting the conversation between Bochang and Silver Wolf.
The hacker girl remained emotionless.
Realizing that time was quickly running out, Bochang said, "Well then... I'm about to start, Silver Wolf."
With those words, he gently placed his hands on the hacker girl's shoulders. Since her jacket was open, it allowed him easy access. He effortlessly wrapped his arms around her, placing both palms directly on her slender shoulders.
Silver Wolf's shoulders were quite delicate, with the bones easily felt beneath his touch.
However...
The sensation wasn't unpleasant.
Silver Wolf showed no intention of resisting; she silently lifted her head and closed her eyes.
"Just pretend it's like being licked by a dog," Silver Wolf thought to herself.
Bochang's fingers exerted slight pressure, feeling somewhat conflicted at this moment. He couldn't help but ponder inwardly, "Is my first kiss about to be given away?"
Ever since his arrival in this world, Bochang had already encountered an opportunity to share his first kiss—that instance when performing CPR on Stelle.
Unfortunately...
Bochang's movements slowed slightly.
In the end, he only managed to kiss Stelle's cheek.
Taking a deep breath, Bochang composed himself. As he gazed at the closed-eyed Silver Wolf offering her lips, he gradually leaned forward.
Their soft, moist lips gently met.
The hacker girl felt her heart pounding so hard it seemed ready to leap out of her throat.
Bochang's heavy breathing brushed against her face, swiftly causing a blush to spread across Silver Wolf's cheeks.
"My first kiss is gone," whispered the stunned hacker, her body rigid and mind blank.
Not wanting to miss this opportunity, Bochang lightly nibbled on Silver Wolf's cherry-pink lips.
It was irresistible...
Her lips were incredibly soft and sweet, making it impossible for Bochang to hold back.
Silver Wolf froze, momentarily taken aback.
After several tense seconds...
She finally reacted, biting down firmly on Bochang's lip before pushing him away.
"Don't push your luck," the hacker girl said indignantly.
Her attack had no effect on Bochang whatsoever.
The bite only caused a slight stinging sensation, without even breaking the skin.
"That... I...I didn't do it intentionally, Silver Wolf, please believe me..." Bochang pleaded, watching as the hacker girl retreated several steps back.
His explanation sounded unconvincingly weak.
Silver Wolf gritted her teeth, resembling a snarling little beast - clearly not believing a word from Bochang.
It was understandable; his actions were indeed outrageous.
Under Bochang's gaze, the blush on Silver Wolf's face remained persistent and unmistakable.
"Contestant Bochang, please return to your position," Aha reminded him.
And so...
With his bare bottom exposed, Bochang hastily retreated, feeling somewhat relieved.
Under Aha's guidance, the fourth round of the game continued.
During their face-to-face kiss earlier,
Bochang had been fully exposed to the hacker girl's gaze.
As a result...
Whenever Silver Wolf met Bochang's eyes, she couldn't help but recall that indecent scene.
If it were just seeing him naked, it might not have been significant.
The key issue was they also kissed.
This created a major problem, leaving Silver Wolf's inner thoughts anything but calm.
In fact, her mind felt utterly chaotic.
Next...
Both Bochang and Silver Wolf skillfully rolled three and eighteen points respectively.
With the decision now resting on Aha, as a six appeared,
it was determined that Silver Wolf would receive the penalty this time.
"I choose Truth."
The hacker girl still showed no inclination towards Dare.
Following another dice roll,
Aha glanced at the card and asked, "Have you watched adult films before? Just briefly viewing and immediately exiting doesn't count. If you have, what is your preferred position?"
"Yes, I've watched," Silver Wolf replied calmly, "I don't have a preferred position."
Hearing this response,
Bochang wasn't surprised at all.
As a genius hacker, encountering inappropriate content online was entirely normal for Silver Wolf.
Even out of curiosity, one might take a peek or two.
