Seeing Big Biodou reappear,

Bochang's heart remained unflustered, and he promptly dismissed Option One.

Next came the choice between a random skill or item.

"Item...or skill?"

"Thinking it through, I've recently obtained quite a few items, so this time let's go for a skill. Hopefully, it'll be a good one."

"Option Two!"

After seeing Welt Yang depart, Bochang didn't linger in his room but immediately headed out.

With plenty of time before their scheduled meeting, taking a stroll seemed like a good idea.

He traversed the long corridor and descended the stairs.

Upon reaching the courtyard, the towering red walls exuded an aura of solemn grandeur.

The Divination Commission was surrounded by lush greenery; flowers, plants, and trees gently swayed in the breeze, releasing waves of fragrant scents.

At that moment...

Serval sat near a flower bed, holding her black guitar. Her slender fingers rested on it without moving.

Earlier that afternoon at the Seat of Divine Foresight,

The black guitar belonging to Serval had been repaired by the craftsmen at the Seat of Divine Foresight.

Not only that, but they also enhanced it with a Jade Abacus, improving its defensive and offensive capabilities.

Bochang's arrival seemed to go unnoticed by Serval, who quietly sat near the flower bed like a fairy amidst the woods.

Seeing Serval alone, Bochang didn't immediately leave. Instead, he approached slowly and asked, "Serval, it's quite late now. Why are you still out here? Shouldn't you be resting?"

"I can't sleep, and...aren't you out too?" Hearing his voice, Serval lifted her head.

As Bochang drew nearer, a hint of surprise flashed in the blonde woman's eyes, seemingly not expecting him to venture outside at this hour.

"I couldn't sleep either, so I decided to take a stroll. I'll head back soon." Bochang stopped in front of Serval. "Were you thinking of playing a tune now?"

"I was considering it, but...I don't want to disturb everyone's rest."

Serval smiled and shook her head.

Back in Belobog, the blonde woman often practiced late at night, so feeling the urge to play now wasn't unusual for her.

"I'm just adjusting the guitar's tone," Serval continued, "and once it's set, I'll head back."

"Oh, do you need any help?" Bochang asked instinctively.

Serval declined his offer. "No, thank you. As my own guitar player, I naturally have to tune it to the sound I prefer."

"Alright then, I'll explore elsewhere." Bochang bid her farewell before moving on.

Serval watched deeply as he walked away but didn't try to stop him, instead refocusing her attention on her guitar.

Bochang wondered how long he would need to wander outside to receive his reward. So...

He kept walking and walking.

Surprisingly, there were quite a few people still awake late at night. Not long into his stroll, Bochang encountered Tingyun again. She was leaning against a stone railing, gazing up at the twinkling stars.

The fox maiden had black hair, including her fox ears. However, her fluffy tail was a light brown color.

Tail gently swayed.

The night sky was reflected in Tingyun's clear and bright eyes. It was hard to discern what she might be thinking.

Before Bochang could approach, his footsteps caught Tingyun's attention, causing her upright fox ears to twitch. She promptly turned towards him.

"Benefactor, you're still awake?"

"Mm-hmm, just taking a stroll," Bochang nodded. "What are you doing here?"

"The room felt stuffy; I came out for some fresh air." Tingyun smiled, her eyes curving delightfully.

With each glance, she seemed more and more like a fox—of course... Tingyun indeed was one.

"Did you need something from me, benefactor?"

[Dating Options activated.]

[Option 1: With indifference, say, "Nothing specific, just happened to bump into you while wandering." - Completion Reward: Increase Credit by 100,000. Note: The Credit will be added directly once you have an Interstellar Peace Corporation account... without arousing suspicion.]

[Option Two: With utmost seriousness, say, "I wanted to discuss life and our aspirations." — Completion Reward: Obtain a random item, ranging from a matchstick to a star destroyer. Note: This type of item will...]

[Option Three: Gazing at Tingyun's large tail, rub your hands together: "I'd really like to touch that fluffy big tail of yours." — Completion Reward: Increase Agility by 100%.]

[Option Four: Flash a harmless smile: "I'm quite curious about the color of your underwear." — Completion Reward: Tingyun's Big Biodou.]

Bochang once again faced a set of multiple-choice options.

Just as before, he promptly eliminated Option Four involving Big Biodou.

Based on the rewards:

Option Three > Option Two > Option One.

Option One seemed the most normal, while Options Two and Three were slightly more embarrassing.

In terms of embarrassment level:

Option Three > Option Two.

Moreover, judging by this option, touching her tail apparently wouldn't make Tingyun angry.

This was quite rare.

After hesitating for three seconds,

"Um... this time, I'll choose the third option."

Whenever seeing options related to body attributes, Bochang almost invariably picked them.

After all, these rewards were particularly generous.

With a 100% increase in Agility already obtained... even without consuming the Cheetah Elixir, Bochang should now be able to engage Blade effectively.

Bochang eyed Tingyun's large fluffy tail and rubbed his hands together, saying, "I'd like to feel your soft, big tail."

Visibly, Miss Fox's expression rapidly shifted, as if several question marks suddenly appeared on her face.

"My... tail?"

"That's right," Bochang nodded solemnly.

The system had not yet delivered the reward.

Therefore...

There could only be one explanation: Bochang needs to actually complete the action of touching the tail.

"Well... it's not entirely out of the question." Tingyun turned slightly, her jade-like hand gesturing to open her Bone-Gathering Fan. She covered her mouth with it and glanced sidelong at Bochang. "However... there is one condition."

"What kind of condition? Please feel free to speak," Bochang replied, taking a deep breath and staring intently at Tingyun.

If he could touch that fluffy, large tail, paying a small price would be worth it.

"Tingyun, as you know, I am frail by nature. Due to my duties, I frequently travel beyond the heavens for commerce, where dangers are inevitable. Having such a remarkable treasure with me..." Her deep green, fox-like eyes gazed at Bochang expectantly.

He responded, "So your meaning is..."

"I desire a teleportation ring like the one on your finger. If you provide me with one, allowing you to touch Tail once would be acceptable."

Tingyun's gaze shifted to the ring on Bochang's finger.

As his companion, she was naturally aware of the ring's teleportation capabilities. Moreover, she knew it could bypass the spatial restrictions imposed by the Divination Commission.

Her request posed a difficult dilemma for Bochang.

He shook his head, "Unfortunately... I don't have any spare teleportation rings at the moment. Besides, Bailu has already reserved one, making it unavailable now. Would you consider another item instead?"

"It's no trouble... Whenever benefactor acquires such a treasure, you can simply gift it then. I trust you would not go back on your word." Tingyun's voice was gentle, charming yet devoid of coquetry, and remarkably pleasing to the ear.
