In an instant, a silent and tense atmosphere enveloped the room, akin to the calm before a storm.

Bochang swallowed nervously.

Just moments ago, he had engaged in close contact with Silver Wolf.

It was natural for some scent to linger on him.

However, he didn't expect March 7th to detect it so easily.

"Are you part dog or something?" Bochang muttered weakly, unable to fully express his frustration.

[Dating Options activated.]

[Option 1: Turn and run away, saying, "It's just your imagination. Nothing more to discuss, goodbye." - Completion Reward: Stalker's Gaze. Note: Watch your back!]

[Option 2: Wave your hands repeatedly and explain, "March, you're being overly suspicious. There's no strange smell on me at all." - Completion Reward: Obtain a random item, ranging from small as a matchstick to large as a star destroyer. Note: These items will...]

[Option 3: Embrace March 7th and say, "Then take a closer sniff, don't be shy. I'll smell yours too, and we'll call it even." — Completion Reward: Obtain Equipment - Teleportation Ring, allowing for arbitrary teleportation within ten meters. Comes with three energy slots; each use consumes one slot, and it requires twenty-four hours to recharge and regain one slot. Note: This type of item will...]

From the options, it was clear:

Simply running away was not advisable, as it would lead to significant problems later.

The reward for Option Two was inferior to that of Option Three.

Bochang swiftly made his decision.

As a startled cry echoed,

Bochang embraced March 7th and said, "Then take a closer sniff, don't be shy. I'll smell yours too, and we'll call it even."

While speaking...

Bochang genuinely brought his nose close to March 7th's neck, deeply inhaling the air infused with her feminine scent.

[Reward being granted—Congratulations on obtaining the equipment, Teleportation Ring. Note: This type of item will...]

"I've got it, Fu Xuan's teleportation ring," Bochang rejoiced inwardly.

March 7th was once again stunned, feeling the heavy breaths of the black-haired youth against her neck, unable to utter a single word.

They remained frozen like this for several seconds.

With her mind completely blank, March 7th finally pushed Bochang away.

"You...what are you doing?! Creep!"

"Didn't you suspect I had another woman's scent on me?" Bochang calmly spread his arms, "Since that's the case, let me give you a proper chance to confirm - should be no issue, right?"

March 7th stared intently at Bochang.

To be honest, moments ago, she did detect a peculiar fragrance on him.

It was a scent not belonging to any girl around them, immediately catching March 7th's attention.

"Th...then don't move, I'll sniff it myself."

March 7th stood up, clutching the thin quilt tightly against her body. The smooth fabric gently brushed against her skin as she raised one hand to cover her chest.

Due to gravity, the quilt draped downward, revealing large expanses of snow-white flesh on March 7th's figure. Her rounded shoulders and subtly exposed broad chest were captivatingly alluring.

With delicate steps, March 7th began walking...

The quilt barely concealed her curvaceous hips, hinting at her fertile physique from just a glance.

Bochang couldn't help but compare March 7th with Silver Wolf.

Clearly...

Silver Wolf was outmatched.

Although the hacker girl had an exceptional aura, a refined face, and a tantalizingly slender waist,

when it came to overall body shape, she simply couldn't compete with March 7th.

In terms of both bust and hips, there was a noticeable difference.

The Spanish ham-like buttocks were indeed a treasure, albeit slightly petite.

Bochang still preferred them larger.

Aside from that,

In terms of fertility potential, she had him firmly under her grasp.

As Bochang admired March 7th's graceful figure, momentarily lost in thought, she approached and gently wrinkled her delicate nose.

She sought any subtle clues on his body.

Feeling March 7th circling around him, Bochang couldn't help but feel as if ants were crawling all over his skin.

For a fleeting moment,

He genuinely considered pushing March 7th down.

However...

Realizing the severe consequences, reason swiftly took control.

Just observing how close March 7th came to screaming indicated that Bochang was far from successfully seducing her.

The only one he felt confident about overpowering was Stelle, given she wouldn't resist anyway.

"March, is this enough now? I'm eager to get back to sleep..."

"Almost...almost done." March 7th moved behind Bochang, thinking to herself, "Strange... Where exactly was that scent coming from earlier? Why can't I find it now?"

"Could I have misjudged him?" Confused, she scratched her head.

Her pink eyes glanced downward.

March 7th's gaze landed on Bochang's firm buttocks.

Let's be honest here.

Due to his muscular build, Bochang had quite well-shaped glutes, which could easily be described as perky and toned.

"Perhaps...is it coming from here?"

Recalling Bochang standing with his back turned towards her, March 7th pondered thoughtfully.

"But...I can't just squat down and sniff, it would be too embarrassing."

If it were around his upper body, March 7th might have leaned in for a whiff. However, this involved the lower half, leaving the pink-haired girl perplexed.

The desire for truth clashed continuously with her inner sense of shame.

After a brief moment...

Her embarrassment ultimately overpowered her quest for the truth.

March 7th lightly smacked Bochang's buttocks and said, "Alright, inspection complete. It must have been my mistake; you can go now."

Fine, but why did you need to smack my butt?, Bochang grumbled internally.

Then...

Under March 7th's watchful gaze, Bochang quietly departed.

"Seriously, when I tell you to leave, you just go like that...?"

As she watched Bochang disappear through the doorway, March 7th suddenly felt a hint of disappointment, realizing her conflicting emotions.

When Bochang first appeared with his bare bottom exposed, she trembled with fear.

Now that he had truly left, March 7th began to miss the sensation from earlier.

"Oh well, better get back to sleep. I have to wake up early tomorrow..."

The pink-haired girl couldn't help but yawn.

It was already quite late.

If not for Bochang kissing her forehead earlier, which caused an unusual surge of excitement in March 7th,

she would likely have fallen asleep long ago. How could she still be awake at this hour?

She probably would have been asleep long ago.

How could she still be awake at this hour?

Stealthily returning to his room, Bochang placed the two Destiny's Footprints on his bed.

After Silver Wolf's reminder, he immediately recognized their significance.

These were Five-Star Enhancement Materials from the game, extremely rare even in that virtual world.

"If one is worth billions of Credits... selling just one would make me instantly wealthy," Bochang mused, thinking, "Aha sure is generous."

However...

Given the immense value and rarity of such enhancement materials, selling them seemed like a poor choice.

Bochang decided he must absorb at least one himself, as it perfectly aligned with his need to strengthen his Destruction fate path power.

As for the second one:

"Should I absorb it myself or give it to someone else? Stelle might need it, or perhaps even Serval could benefit."

Bochang fell deep into thought.

Considering that Stelle had failed to acquire her new fate path strength due to circumstances involving him, offering her one of these Destiny's Footprints felt like an appropriate form of compensation.
