Chapter 295 - 294: Hear My Clever ExcusesThere was still some time before the Astral Express departed for Penacony.

    Since the conductor hadn''t completed preparations yet, Bochang and others could only wait.

    In the morning, Bochang, Stelle, March 7th, and Qingque continued their game of Mahjong.

    After just a few rounds, March 7th pushed aside her tiles with both hands and said, "Ah... this is getting boring. How about we switch to a more interesting stake?"

    "What kind of stake?" Qingque tilted her head curiously.

    Until now, they had been playing with Credits as stakes. However, March 7th was growing weary of it.

    Stelle suggested, "What if whoever loses has to remove one item of clothing? How does that sound?"

    "Sounds thrilling, I''m up for it." Bochang gave a thumbs-up.

    Startled, Qingque instinctively covered her mouth and exclaimed, "Eh? Are you guys serious? Count me out then."

    "Agreed, why don''t we change it to drinking instead? Whoever loses takes a shot," proposed March 7th.

    March 7th suggested her own twist with a roll of her eyes at Bochang and Star.

    Stripping off clothes? How could they even propose such a thing?

    Upon hearing this suggestion, everyone exchanged glances before ultimately agreeing to March 7th''s version.

    Thanks to Son of Drunkeness'' influence, Bochang had stocked his pouch with ample wine, making it perfectly suited for their game now.

    After several rounds of drinks, blushes appeared on the faces of March 7th, Stelle, and Qingque.

    Although Mahjong Girls typically don''t drink much,

    it seemed Qingque wasn''t particularly skilled with alcohol; despite consuming the least, her face flushed as red as March 7th''s and Stelle''s.

    As time went on, Qingque''s mahjong skills steadily declined,

    leading her to keep drinking more.

    Bochang emerged as the clear winner.

    In an attempt to defeat him, the three girls teamed up, coordinating their moves strategically.

    Sneakily, March 7th even tried using her bare feet to distract Bochang.

    By the third round of drinks, around noon, most were nearly incapacitated.

    Bochang, having consumed less and possessing a higher tolerance, still retained some clarity.

    March 7th, Stelle, and Qingque slumped over the table, sound asleep, with no telling when they would wake up.

    "Even with your underhanded tricks, you can''t beat me."

    Bochang stood up, stretching lazily.

    Gently, Bochang picked up Stelle, Qingque, and March 7th from their slumped positions at the table, placing them neatly on the bed... ensuring they wouldn''t sleep with their arms pinned beneath, causing numbness.

    Lying side by side, the girls in short skirts revealed their bare legs, creating a visually pleasing sight.

    From left to right:

    First, Stelle, followed by March 7th, and then Qingque.

    Naturally...

    Bochang arranged them by height.

    If it were based on chest size, March 7th should have been placed before Stelle.

    Don''t ask how he knew; let''s just say measurements were taken.

    In the pink-lit room, the three intoxicated girls looked irresistibly charming, making Bochang subtly swallow his nerves.

    [Option One: Stelle''s thighs are truly amazing, go ahead and touch them - Completion Reward: Agility increased by 100%.]

At Belobog Administrative Region''s Central Plaza fountain, you can spend one Praise of High Morals to retrieve a hidden treasure from the fountain once. Note: This type of item will...]

    Seeing these four sudden options, Bochang fell deep into thought.

    After a moment...

    Bochang chose Option 1.

    Touching his girlfriend''s thigh isn''t illegal.

    What surprised Bochang was...

    Why touching Stelle''s thigh would yield a reward at all.

    Logically speaking, only by touching Qingque''s thigh should he receive a reward, but due to their insufficient relationship level,

    random groping could only result in receiving Big Biodou—

    specifically, March 7th''s Big Biodou.

    "It seems there might be some unexpected circumstances here."

    Bochang pondered briefly before stepping onto the bed.

    He then gently extended his hands and caressed Stelle''s thighs.

    With her tall stature, slender legs, and regular exercise regimen...

    The sensation of touching Stelle''s thighs was quite pleasant.

    Compared to March 7th and Qingque, Stelle''s thighs were slightly thicker but equally attractive, exuding strength. They clearly looked made for running races.

    Bochang''s hands reached the leg bands on Stelle''s thighs.

    In her tipsy state with flushed cheeks, the gray-haired girl sensed something unusual. She gently opened her eyes, noticing Bochang''s face close by. Then, she silently closed them again.

    A faint moan escaped from her lips, stirring Bochang''s blood fervently.

    "Hmm... Maybe I should bring Stelle back to my room," thought Bochang.

    With March 7th and Qingque nearby, he felt somewhat constrained.

    "But first, I need to claim my rewards."

    Bochang continued providing the massage service.

    Just then, the door to March 7th''s room swung open, and Serval entered, saying, "Bochang, Himeko called you all for dinner...uh..."

    As she took in the scene before her, Serval''s words caught in her throat.

    After a brief pause, Serval managed a polite yet awkward smile.

    "Sorry for interrupting, please continue."

    As the door slowly closed,

    a series of Dating Options triggered.

    [Reward being distributed—Congratulations! You have received a 100% increase in Agility.]

    A warm sensation surged through Bochang''s body, heightening his senses significantly. Sear?h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    "Huh? Quite a high drop rate for these Praises of High Morals today," Bochang muttered to himself.

    Option 3 could be immediately ruled out.

    Between options 1 and 2, this time Bochang chose the second.

    There was no particular reasoning; he just felt that he had already obtained numerous items and wanted to try acquiring a skill instead.

    Bochang jumped off the bed and hurried after Serval, calling out, "Serval, let me explain."

    She stopped, turning to look at Bochang as he grabbed her wrist.

    "Huh? Excuses? What excuses do you have to make? You and Stelle were clearly... Everyone could see it already, but I didn''t expect you''d even get March 7th and Qingque drunk."

    Detecting the lingering scent of alcohol in the air, Serval immediately understood what had transpired. She smiled softly.

    "You''re not trying to drag me into this too, are you?"
