These options were different from the previous ones.
Earlier, all choices had negative consequences, but now, they're all positive.
Option one's reward remains the familiar random draw.
Options two and three both offer skills, specifically damage-enhancing types.
Interestingly, Bochang already possesses two similar skills:
Yifu-sama Above All + Big sister Killer.
Now, there are two new skills—Pervert and Messenger of Justice.
Bochang can't help but feel that the latter seems more appealing.
The Pervert skill feels like a double-edged sword, practically exemplifying "inflicting great harm on others while severely damaging oneself." It doesn't seem ideal.
Moreover, the content of Option Two is downright disturbing.
Even for someone as twisted as me, it's too much.JPG
Of course...
Option three isn't perfect either, but the reward does sound quite enticing.
Bochang ponders.
The imposter Tingyun lurking nearby, most likely, belongs to the evil faction. Judging by the system's options, she appears to be incredibly powerful.
Bochang needs the Messenger of Justice skill to bolster his capabilities against such evil forces.
With the combination of Big sister Killer and Messenger of Justice skills,
Thus, Bochang could claim to be a seasoned slayer of wicked women.
Unfortunately, it required putting underwear on one's head first.
"By wearing this...I can obtain immense power."
"But doing so in public..."
"It would be unbearably shameful."
Option three offered enticing rewards, but the act involved was quite challenging to accept.
In comparison,
Option one seemed much more straightforward.
"What should I choose?"
After internal deliberation, a sudden realization struck Bochang: "Wait, the system didn't specify who to put the panties on. Can I perhaps place them on Bailu's head instead?"
This felt like a small loophole in the options.
Bochang believed that even if she put the triangle panties on Bailu's head, she wouldn't protest much.
Initially tempted,
Bochang ultimately dismissed the idea.
"Don't take unnecessary risks; what if the system doesn't recognize it and still requires me to wear it myself? That would be incredibly awkward."
[Ten, nine, eight...]
The system had already started its countdown.
Hearing the voice deep within his mind, Bochang paused for another three seconds before making a decisive choice.
"Option three!"
Now...
Bochang prepared to take another bold leap.
Taking a deep breath, like Sun Wukong donning his golden fillet, Bochang faced death with resolve... He slipped the red lace thong over his head as if it were a tattered hat and declared, "The righteous Astral Express crew will surely defeat you, villain, and successfully rescue Miss Tingyun."
Silence fell upon the scene.
Everyone stared dumbfoundedly at Bochang, who had adorned himself with the red lace thong like a worn-out cap. The sight was... slightly eye-watering.
Even the fake Tingyun was rendered speechless by Bochang's audacity, her mouth agape yet unable to utter a word, completely forgetting what she intended to say.
To be fair:
As the Lord Ravager - Phantylia, having traversed countless worlds and destroyed numerous civilizations, the fake Tingyun could be considered well-versed in extraordinary experiences.
Yet amidst her long life... Bochang's actions today stood out as remarkably explosive.
Even Fake Tingyun felt a sense of shame.
After all, it was her own recently worn underwear.
"How could this person be like this?! Not only did you steal my underwear and interrupt me, but now you're doing such a brazen act. Does Lord Ravager not deserve respect anymore? No... I'm so angry; he must receive a slap to alleviate my indignation."
Fake Tingyun's dainty toes, resembling pearls, curled slightly against the ground.
Though her face showed no emotion, internally, Phantylia's fury was igniting like a raging fire.
A gentle breeze swept across, lifting pale yellow sand dust and dispersing the awkward silence.
After a moment of bewilderment, March 7th asked, "Um... Bochang, is there a possibility - just hear me out - that right now, you look more like a villain?"
Bochang hesitated before mentally retorting, 「No need for you to point that out!」
In the next instant, the system's voice chimed in.
[Reward being distributed - Congratulations! You have obtained the skill 'Partner of Justice.' When engaging enemies from the evil faction, your attacks will always result in critical hits.]
After receiving the reward,
Bochang promptly threw the red lace thong off his head onto the ground and exclaimed, "Nonsense! I shall never coexist with evil!"
"Well said!" Stelle immediately began applauding.
Bailu was still absorbed by the sight of Bochang wearing the thong on his head, momentarily puzzled about the reason behind his actions.
"Could this be a custom from his homeland? Wearing the enemy's underwear as a display of humiliation?" The dragon girl's imagination ran wild. "What a peculiar tradition indeed..."
Meanwhile, Qingque thought to herself, "I already suspected something was off with Bochang earlier, and now it seems... he truly is a pervert."
Welt Yang didn't want Bochang's antics to continue any further. He lightly tapped the ground with his cane.
With a resounding boom,
the sound echoed throughout the entire arena, akin to a hammer striking everyone's hearts, bringing them back to their senses.
Now...
They were inside a training area at the martial arts hall, with several staff members observing through reinforced glass outside.
Following Bochang's instructions earlier, the highest level of defenses had been activated to trap the imposter Tingyun within.
"Bochang, let's stop this nonsense and get down to business," Welt Yang adjusted his black-framed glasses. "Firstly... who are you? Secondly... what have you done with the real Tingyun? Lastly... what is your ultimate goal?"
"I advise you to answer truthfully without any concealment, lest you suffer unnecessary pain." Welt Yang tightened his grip on the cane.
This black-red cane served as Uncle Yang's weapon, known as the Garden of Eden Star, possessing the ability to manipulate gravity.
Welt Yang had used it multiple times before, making Bochang well-acquainted with its capabilities.
Snapping out of his fury, Bochang regained his composure.
Phantylia found his words amusing. Taking a deep breath to steady her emotions, she softly replied, "If you truly wish to know the answer, defeat me first."
As soon as she finished, the false Tingyun waved her Bone-Gathering Fan.
Instantly...
A fierce gust swept across the area.
The azure wind coalesced into massive visible blades, lifting dirt from the ground and mixing it with the swirling tempest, hurtling towards Bochang and the others in an overwhelming assault.
It was a terrifying sight.
An unprotected hit would have unimaginable consequences.
Welt's eye twitched slightly.
The sheer power displayed with just a simple gesture was astonishing.
"Take cover behind me!" Welt raised the Garden of Eden high.
He planned to use its simulated black hole to deflect this wave of attack.
Upon hearing this, Bochang and the others swiftly hid behind Uncle Yang without hesitation, each readying their own abilities to resist the onslaught from the fake Tingyun.
