Chapter 12 - 12

"We're willing to share 30% of the revenue generated from the interview with him on the channel." Although the interview video hasn't been released yet and the specific revenue can't be estimated, the amount earned from a single interview probably won't be much. Besides, his parents are already wealthy and have no worries about money, so this offer isn't very attractive. "30%..." Sensing Li Zhenshuo's lack of interest in the monetary offer, Liu Anna presented another condition: "Also, if you're interested, we can promote you on the channel." This personally handled promotional offer was somewhat appealing, but after all, collaborating with other high-traffic streamers would achieve a wider reach, and the actual profit wasn't substantial—after all, the game he played wasn't a niche genre, but a popular title among the male population in the country. The benefits of collaborating with a top streamer far outweighed Liu Anna's channel promotion. "That's all?" "Uh..." Faced with the situation where she had tried her best but still couldn't persuade him, Liu Anna couldn't help but sigh. "Yes, that's all the conditions we can offer at the moment." "Such a bargaining chip seems a bit insufficient." "Unfortunately, the exclusive agreement is unlikely to be reached." "What a pity..." She expressed genuine regret. Seeing the mixed-race beauty's face dim, Li Zhenshuo almost agreed to the exclusive deal, but he held back. 'If he compromised so easily, he wouldn't be considered an ambitious man.' A man with ambition for success will always weigh the pros and cons and choose the safest option. Although betting on Liu Anna's growth potential in the long run might not be a bad idea... most of her channel's viewers came to appreciate her mixed-race beauty, not for the interview content. Stagnant water will eventually rot, and unless she transforms into a new path, she will hardly have any greater development—she must know this herself, which is why she is so persistent. And he is a model of surpassing appearance-based attention with his own strength, and should be able to bring in new customers. 'Although completely transforming into a revealing style is also an option, she probably wouldn't want to.' It's unclear what kind of success she's pursuing, but judging from her current insistence on interviews, she doesn't seem to have any intention of using her female identity for the time being. Just as Li Zhenshuo was pondering, Liu Anna, clinging to a last straw, suddenly took off her coat. 'This is my last chance…' Recalling the brief moment Li Zhenshuo had glanced at her body, she unbuttoned two buttons of her shirt, revealing a glimpse of her ample cleavage, and walked gracefully towards him. The clatter of her black high heels on the floor accompanied her as she swayed her hips as she approached. Already dressed in an office suit that stirred male fantasies, she now exuded even more allure. She walked gracefully towards him, holding the contract for the next interview, and sat down beside Li Zhenshuo. "This is the contract prepared for the next interview. If you have any dissatisfaction with any clauses while reading it, please feel free to raise them." "Understood." "After accepting the contract, Li Zhenshuo, contrary to his previous aloof attitude, openly scrutinized her figure—from the snow-white cleavage revealed through the gaps in her shirt, to her long, beautiful legs encased in black stockings, and to her voluptuous hips, a feature beyond Asian standards, a testament to her mixed-race heritage. This blatant gaze only fueled Liu Anna's suspicions: 'Unless I approached him, he never looked at me directly…' Just as she was wondering, Li Zhenshuo suddenly noticed someone peeping at him from outside the door. The door, which should have been closed, opened slightly, revealing a pair of eyes—he instantly recognized the spy. At this moment, the only person secretly watching was Chi Eunhyuk. Just as Li Zhenshuo had suspected, the person secretly watching from outside the office was indeed Chi Eunhyuk. And Chi Eunhyuk, observing the two of them from outside, was utterly shocked by Liu Anna's appearance, which he had never seen before. 'Anna actually behaves like that in front of a man…'" In stark contrast to her usual annoyance with men's gazes, where she would clutch her coat tightly, she was now radiating unreserved feminine charm towards Lee Jin-seok. Removing her coat and unbuttoning her blouse to reveal her ample cleavage, a far cry from her usual composed demeanor when negotiating, she was now pressed close to Lee Jin-seok, confirming a contract—a sight he had never witnessed in their twenty-two years of knowing each other. EP0151 Just as Ji Eun-hyuk was bewildered by Yoo Anna's unprecedented appearance, Lee Jin-seok smiled inwardly. 'The change is much faster than expected?' Although he didn't know how she usually treated interviewees, seeing her gaze widen in his eyes, this was likely the first time she had shown such a side. A side his girlfriend had never revealed before, now openly displayed to another man—this scene was enough to nurture the seed of doubt in Ji Eun-hyuk's heart to sprout. 'Why... why does Anna show a side I've never even seen before to that kind of man?' Despite their 22-year friendship eventually blossoming into a romantic relationship, Liu Anna and Ji Eun-hyuk's dynamic remained unchanged. They maintained a bland, platonic relationship, like old friends. Naturally, they lacked the sweetness and excitement expected of romance. After all, they believed they knew everything about each other. The biggest problem stemming from their long friendship was that their relationship wasn't based on mutual affection. If there were true love, they should have whispered sweet nothings, held hands, but Liu Anna only agreed to date out of curiosity. Some might ask why Ji Eun-hyuk didn't take the initiative. The problem lay in his naturally timid and introverted personality. Faced with the ever-present, commanding presence of Liu Anna, he dared not make a move. Therefore, this moment was a devastating shock to him. The ever-sharp and assertive Liu Anna was now displaying complete feminine charm, like a female fawning over a male she desired. It was a scene he had never even fantasized about in his long years of life. While Ji Eun-hyuk was still reeling from this newfound discovery of Liu Anna… Lee Jin-seok had already signed the contract containing the details of the second interview. The terms only stipulated that he must remove his mask and could not accept invitations from other channels during the interview; there were no other restrictions. "I will contact you immediately after the trip." "How long do you expect it to take?" "It should be completed within a week at the latest. I plan to go home and start preparing immediately." "Okay, I look forward to hearing from you." As the second interview agreement was finalized, Lee Jin-seok, who was about to leave, was suddenly grabbed by the arm by Yoo Anna. She gazed into his eyes and said, "Today's interview was very enjoyable. I look forward to seeing you again." "Next time I will be better prepared, and you can look forward to it." "I believe in you." Lee Jin-seok pushed open the office door and met the gaze of Chi Eun-hyuk, who was standing outside. The young man's pupils were still slightly trembling from witnessing everything. Lee Jin-seok nodded casually: "See you next time." "..." Without responding, Ji Eun-hyuk cast a gloomy glance and stormed into the office. Liu Anna, pondering Lee Jin-seok's unusual behavior, frowned at her boyfriend's sudden entrance: "I told you to knock before coming in." "What were you doing just now?" "What? What were I doing?" Standing before Liu Anna, who was buttoning her shirt, Ji Eun-hyuk's voice trembled: "Why were you like that with that guy? I saw it all! You deliberately unbuttoned your shirt and sat next to him!" "It was just too hot in the office." "Was it necessary to stand so close to him to explain the contract?" "Mr. Jin-seok's contract is very important; I had to explain it personally. Any objections needed to be discussed on the spot." "You've never done this to anyone else!" Suddenly realizing what was happening, Liu Anna's face turned cold at his suspicion: "Are you questioning me now?" "What boyfriend wouldn't be suspicious after seeing that scene?!" "The seeds of doubt have made the cowardly aggressive. Liu Anna's evasive attitude only further enraged him. 'I'm the one who should be angry! What right do you have!' Liu Anna, who had never wavered, said seriously, 'Those who know my character shouldn't say such things.' '...' Chi Enhe was momentarily speechless. After all, her past behavior was indeed impeccable—no matter how outstanding the suitors were, she never gave them a second glance. Liu Anna sighed deeply: 'Ha... Enhe, I'm very tired now. Please leave. Immediately.' 'Wait...' 'Chi Enhe, leave.' '...'"Okay." Seeing his girlfriend's icy demeanor for the first time, he finally withdrew dejectedly. 'Even if he doesn't like her enough, what kind of boyfriend doubts his girlfriend like this?' Liu Anna smiled bitterly to herself as she straightened her clothes. She had poured her heart and soul into her career, while he was only concerned with venting his emotions. Such behavior was utterly absurd in her rational worldview. After ending her negative associations with Chi Eun-hyeok, her thoughts drifted back to Lee Jin-seok. The man who had shown no interest in her the last time they met was now showing interest in her body. Although it was just occasional glances, it was clear that he had developed a different interest in her than before, which was very important. 'What's different...' But with her limited experience with men, she couldn't understand the reason for his sudden change in attitude no matter how she thought about it. Just as Liu Anna was agonizing over Lee Jin-seok's change in attitude— Chi Eun-hyeok, who had just left the office, didn't have a private office and could only sit alone in the stairwell thinking. 'That's right, how could Anna be interested in any man other than me?' Anna, who had rejected countless confessions, finally chose to date her, someone she had known for many years. She'd only met that man twice; how could she possibly have feelings for him? She certainly didn't think she'd lose to someone like that. Feeling guilty, she rose from her seat, preparing to apologize. Suddenly, she remembered Anna from the office earlier—even in a loose women's blouse, her full, pert breasts were undeniable; beneath her unusually large pelvis in Korea stretched long, sexy legs. Imagining this scene, her blood rushed to her head, almost causing an immediate arousal. 'After apologizing to Anna today, how about we have dinner together and talk…?' In the month they'd been dating, Ji Eun-hye hadn't even held Anna's hand, let alone linked arms. Because she vehemently disliked physical contact, they hadn't had any real intimate moments. But knowing that physical intimacy was essential to a relationship, Ji Eun-hye finally decided to speak up: 'We've been dating for so long, holding hands isn't too much to ask, is it?' Thinking this, her anger subsided, and she got up and headed towards Anna's office. As Ji Eun-hye considered advancing her relationship with Anna— Upon arriving home, Li Zhenshuo logged into the game to gather material for his next interview. [Enjoy your game!] The moment he opened his eyes, an unbelievably massive cavern came into view. Standing before this colossal cavern, clearly not naturally formed, Li Zhenshuo breathed a sigh of relief: 'These past few days of logging in weren't wasted.' After defeating Bram, he occasionally logged in to relocate all the villagers, and then immediately rushed here. Upon arrival, the secret realm map rewarded by the system suddenly glowed—when he held the glowing map, a path of light appeared, leading directly to the target ruins. Although Liu Anna's call had delayed his progress, today, with all the interviews finished, the long-awaited secret realm gathering time had finally arrived. Filled with anticipation to explore the unexplored secret realm, Li Zhenshuo stepped into the depths of the cave. He didn't know how long he had traveled, but when darkness almost swallowed his vision, he stopped before a suddenly appearing prompt window: [This is a divine ruin; to enter, one must first worship the gods.] Li Zhenshuo immediately knelt on one knee, but not to the existing gods, but to the primordial god—the Creator. [Prayer confirms gate's opening] Rumble— The moment the prayer ended, the stone gate slowly opened with a scraping sound. As he stepped forward, Li Zhenshuo recalled the world's setting: Currently, five gods govern various races, but in earlier times, only Queisa, known as the Absolute God, existed. Born on this planet, Queisa created his races, and the five newborn gods regarded him as their father, inheriting all his knowledge. After his children completed their studies, Queisa created a prosperous world for various races. Humans, elves, dragons… all kinds of races lived in harmony. Until one day, the gods, weary of eternal peace, rebelled. They imprisoned the opponents and successfully attacked the creator. However, they discovered that the creator god, who coexisted with the planet, could only be killed by destroying the planet. In the end, the rebels chose to seal the god's body and soul in four directions—the head to guard the north, the arms to seal the south, the legs to bury the west, the torso to lock the east, and the soul to be kept by each of the gods. And the ruins he was in now were the forbidden land in the east, where the god's body was sealed. Although remnants of divine intervention were found everywhere, only this place offered a tangible reward. The limb remains were empty, while the torso contained the most vital organ of the gods—the heart. "Although it's the most crucial organ, it's impossible to obtain at the beginning, and even if you get it later, it's inefficient, so it's unnecessary." Thus, guided by the light on the secret realm map, Li Zhenshuo was the first to set off for this place, preparing to obtain his true objective—the core. "EP0152 After traversing the familiar passage I saw when playing on the computer, the Trial appeared before me. The Trial had five stages, all tests related to the player's attribute values. The first trial was related to strength, requiring me to move boulders blocking my path. Even with 'Superior' level abilities, it was a challenging trial. Now I know why you can't pass if your attribute isn't 'Superior' level." The passing score I hadn't noticed when playing on the computer, I now understand that this was a trial absolutely impossible to complete without 'Superior' level attributes. "If my attribute value is only 'Above Mid-Level,' it's impossible to pass." Even after achieving 'Superior' level attributes and receiving the achievement reward, I still felt the pressure of the difficulty. Having experienced this level of difficulty firsthand, I eagerly moved towards the next trial. Next was a trial related to agility, testing dynamic vision and reaction speed. Dodging randomly fired arrows in a trap-filled corridor. This trial resulted in a scrape on my forearm. Over-reliance on my evolved body's heightened senses led to carelessness, ultimately resulting in being hit by an unavoidable delayed trap. "This won't do..."Li Zhenshuo stared at the wound on his arm, his tension rising. Even with carelessness, a slightly higher attribute value should have been enough to dodge it. However, the attribute value required for this trial was already above average for his current abilities, yet he still couldn't pass. His lowest attribute was magic power. Before arriving at the dungeon, although he had improved his attributes considerably, barely reaching the "upper" level threshold, the exact difficulty was still unpredictable. After passing the physical and mental trials, Li Zhenshuo stood before the final magic trial. The physical trial required traversing seemingly insurmountable gates in a high-pressure space. The mental trial, on the other hand, was a confinement in a dense darkness of chaotic senses, where even the passage of time was imperceptible. "No wonder no one wants to challenge this dungeon in the mid-game." In computer games, simply having the character stand still would automatically complete the game, but only after experiencing virtual reality did he truly understand the difficulty. During the trial, even quitting the game was not allowed; it was like hell. Among modern people living in the 21st century, probably very few could withstand such a trial. After taking a deep breath, he stepped into the final magic trial. The scene before him astonished him. [This is the magic trial. Please sit quietly and meditate to feel the essence of magic.] The system notification indicated that this was different from before; meditation would be sufficient to pass easily. Upon hearing this, Li Zhenshuo immediately sat cross-legged and entered a meditative state. "This level is manageable." Compared to the previous dual torment of body and mind, this was much more comfortable. Just like with computer-based challenges, it would automatically complete as long as he waited. He didn't know how long he had been sensing the flow of magic power within his body. When he completely forgot the passage of time, a system notification sounded in his ear: [Magic Trial Passed]. After completing all the trials, Li Zhenshuo walked through the opened door. Behind it was an incredibly vast cavern with a dome over ten meters high, a space several times the size of a football field. After surveying the area and confirming there were no additional trials, he walked towards the central area. "I've seen this many times in the game, but this is the first time I've seen it in person." A thumb-sized gem, emitting a red glow, floated in the center of the cavern. Realizing this was a dungeon reward, he reached out and touched it. [Those who pass all the trials will be awarded the Mark of God—Heart of God]. With the system's declaration, he felt the accumulated fatigue instantly dissipate. As the gem shone brightly, a new notification sounded: [Heart of God Successfully Implanted into Your Heart]. The feared transplant pain did not occur. [Heart of God] -You have obtained the Heart of God, which originates from the same source as the planet. You can accumulate magic power at a speed far exceeding that of other races simply by breathing. After obtaining the Heart of God from the known information, Li Zhenshuo immediately went to the Ritual Chamber. Although its location was deeper than the heart's, he arrived smoothly with the help of the map. [This place holds the unrevealed Ritual of God. Enter?] Unlike when obtaining the Heart of God, the system prompted that no trial was needed this time. Excited to explore the unknown, he chose to agree. The interior was unexpectedly simple. The so-called Ritual Chamber was merely a small cave, with a life-sized ceramic urn in the center. When the lid of the giant urn was lifted, the system information appeared: [It contains the blood of God. The bloodline left behind by the Creator God; the absorber will inherit the divine power.] Although there are many legends about gods in the game, none have ever truly demonstrated power. The system's statement that one could directly inherit divine power made Zhenshuo's heart race, even after tens of thousands of hours of fighting in the game. 'Finally, it's my turn to explore the unknown.' Just as Zhenshuo received this unknown reward, in the real world, Eunhyuk was inviting Anna to dinner. -- To quell the daytime turmoil and advance their relationship, Eunhyuk went to Anna's office. - Knock knock. "Come in." Anna's clear and melodious voice came from inside. Eunhyuk swallowed hard, his Adam's apple bobbing, and pushed the door open. "What's up?" Anna, sitting at her desk reviewing documents as usual, exuded the aura of a powerful career woman. Eunhyuk hesitated for a moment before speaking: "Anna...can we have dinner together tonight?" Despite having practiced countless times in secret, his naturally introverted nature caused him to stammer out the invitation. "Um...I'll finish a little late today, but it should be fine." "Then, then I'll book at that restaurant you know!" Compared to the dinner invitations he was usually turned down, this time Eunhyuk's voice unconsciously rose in pitch. "Okay, I'll contact you when I'm done." "Hmm...thank you for your hard work." "Having received permission, Eunhyuk tiptoed out of the office. 'Finally, I can have dinner with Anna!' Thinking about the dinner invitations he'd been repeatedly rejected because of Jinseok, the prospect of being alone with his sweetheart made his chest burn. He didn't know how much time had passed when his phone suddenly vibrated as he was slacking off at his desk. - Finished work? Come to my office. Reading the message, Eunhyuk grinned and rushed to her room. 'Which restaurant did you book?' 'The one you said was good last time.' 'Really? Finally, I can have a proper meal.'" Anna, who has been relying on takeout to prepare for her interview with Jinseok, is unusually looking forward to a proper meal. "Crisis is an opportunity. I must advance our relationship tonight..." Eunhyuk, who was penalized during the day for his suspicions, is determined to seize the opportunity. He's certain that Anna, who was angry with him, is feeling guilty—this is the perfect chance to break the deadlock. Little does he know that Anna is currently troubled by Jinseok's unusual behavior. "He's clearly interested in my body..." The unusual reaction triggered by her seduction today is completely different from their first meeting. This sudden change puzzles her: has he changed his mind after their second meeting? Or has he begun to realize his own value? "Anna? Anna!" Lost in thought, she didn't even hear him calling. "Huh? Don't shout so loudly all of a sudden." "I called you so many times and you didn't respond..." Anna's sensitive tone, already annoyed by Jinseok's unusual behavior, instantly extinguished Eunhyuk's excitement. 'I know she doesn't like me... but this is too hurtful.' Eunhyuk knew this relationship stemmed from Anna's whim. When his childhood friend of 22 years suddenly proposed, her reason was simply, 'I want to experience love before I get old.' Having harbored a crush since middle school, he had long since learned to swallow that bitterness. After sitting down at the restaurant, Anna's conversation revolved entirely around Jinseok. "You've been so busy lately, haven't you?" "I can't help it, now's a crucial time to boost my popularity through Mr. Jinseok." Even on a date, she was talking about that man—Eunhyuk gripped his napkin tightly. 'We even argued about him...'But his cowardice perfectly masked his jealousy. "Is he really that amazing?" "Yeah, completely different from the men I've met before." This comment struck Eunhyuk like a blunt object. From then on, he deliberately avoided all topics about Jinseok. He used their shared childhood memories as conversation starters. "Anna, do you remember when we were in kindergarten? You helped me when the boys bullied me." "Ah...back then? Sorry, I really can't remember things from when I was little. Speaking of which, Mr. Jinseok is truly amazing, isn't he?" But Ji Eunhyuk's shallow probing was useless. He would manage to change the subject, but in the blink of an eye, she would return to discussing Lee Jinseok. Anna seemed to be truly infatuated with him; her face would light up every time her name was mentioned. "Anna... could you look at me more when we're together..." The introverted Ji Eun-hyuk mustered immense courage to ask this request, only to be met with: "Why? I'd rather you be like Mr. Jin-seok. A person with firm resolve and decisiveness." "I... I'm trying, but everyone is different..." "Ha... if that's how you see it, then there's nothing I can do. People can't suddenly change." Constantly talking about another man in front of her boyfriend, even stating that she hoped he could be like him—hearing these words, Ji Eun-hyuk felt something about to explode in his chest. 'You're here on a date with me, why do you keep bringing up that person? Focus on the person in front of you!' Just as Ji Eun-hyuk's patience was about to reach its limit, Liu Anna brought up Lee Jin-seok again: "If only you could change your introverted personality and become a confident person like Mr. Jin-seok." These words, reaching the ears of the long-suppressed and aggrieved Ji Eun-hyuk, finally became the last straw that broke the camel's back. EP0153 "It's always Lee Jin-seok! What's so great about that guy?!" Ever since their first meeting, the name Lee Jin-seok had been constantly echoing in Anna's ears. Whether it was texting, phone calls, or face-to-face conversations, lately, her conversations with herself were filled with Lee Jin-seok's shadow. At first, she wondered what kind of amazing person Anna could be so concerned about. But as time went on, Anna mentioned Lee Jin-seok more and more frequently. Later, on the day of the interview, she realized that those words weren't just spoken to her—because Anna actually unbuttoned her shirt and acted coquettishly in front of Lee Jin-seok, showing a completely different reaction from her previous interviewees. Just as Ji Eun-hyuk was immersed in disappointment, Liu Anna recalled what Lee Jin-seok looked like. That confident, principled man. Even during his first interview, he wasn't intimidated at all, but rather took control of the entire situation. He almost perfectly matched the ideal type that Liu Anna had fantasized about. "So Mr. Jin-seok, he..." "Can you please stop talking about him!" "Eun-hyuk?" When Liu Anna brought up the topic again, Ji Eun-hyuk finally exploded. "Mr. Jinseok! Mr. Jinseok! How many times are you going to mention this?!" "Ji Eunhyuk... can't you be a little more polite in a restaurant?" "And what about you! Where did your manners go when you're with your lover? This is my time! Shouldn't you be focusing on me?!" Liu Anna had never seen the usually docile Ji Eunhyuk so furious. This sudden, ferocious expression was particularly jarring to her. Moreover, they were in a restaurant—no matter how angry she was, she shouldn't be making a scene here. "Enough, Eunhyuk, I can't continue eating in this situation. See you another day." "No! We have to get this straight today! What is it about Lee Jinseok that you can't forget?!" Realizing she couldn't stay any longer, Liu Anna was about to get up and leave when Ji Eunhyuk suddenly grabbed her wrist. "What does this mean? Let go." "No! Explain yourself clearly what Li Zhenshuo means to you!" "Ha... He's the most exemplary man I've ever met, besides my father." "You dare say you don't like him?!" The relentless questioning finally made Liu Anna break free, but Ji Eunhyuk's final question stopped her in her tracks. Faced with the question of "whether she likes Li Zhenshuo," she paused for a moment and shook her head, saying: "It's not that kind of relationship. Although I am interested, saying I like him after only meeting him twice? Do you think I'm such a frivolous woman?" "Besides, even if I do like him, what right do you have to interfere? He's not even a proper boyfriend." This complete denial of his "boyfriend" status left Ji Eunhyuk frozen in place. * * * Liu Anna, rushing out of the restaurant, savored the conversation. "I like Mr. Zhenshuo?" This feeling was unprecedented for her. He was a senior she respected like a mentor, yet she had never had any thoughts of dating him. "We've only met twice, and we don't contact each other often. This is ridiculous." This is completely contrary to her belief in love that develops over time. She accepted Chi Eun-hyuk's confession precisely because he aligned with her values. Thinking of Chi Eun-hyuk's outburst today, Liu Anna frowned. Although she was initially dissatisfied with his gentle personality, she had discovered his strengths over time. But this sudden outburst completely overturned her understanding—this was exactly the kind of situation that the rational Liu Anna detested most. As she was pondering, her work phone in her bag suddenly rang. "Hello?" "Ms. Anna, is it convenient to talk now?" The familiar male voice made her instantly recognize the other person. She cleared her throat and replied, "No problem." —Actually, it's because I just finished the target event and wanted to ask when would be convenient for you. "Is it finished?" —Yes, all the preliminary preparations were done, so it ended faster than expected. Liu Anna's heart pounded when she heard Lee Jin-seok say that he had just finished a major event and then completed another one. "At this rate, the interview should be ready soon." As the saying goes, strike while the iron is hot, meaning to double down on efforts to advance things while things are going smoothly. Remembering this saying, Liu Anna was eager to see him immediately and asked, "Although it's a bit late, can we meet right now?" —Now? "Yes, I want to exchange information as soon as possible..." —Understood. Please specify the meeting place. "Can we meet at my office?" —Okay, see you later. After hanging up, Liu Anna put her argument with Ji Eun-hyuk out of her mind and eagerly anticipated her meeting with Lee Jin-seok. 'I really want to meet and talk soon...' Unlike with Ji Eun-hyuk, she was eager to meet him to discuss work, revealing her desire for success. She hailed a passing taxi and rushed back to the company as quickly as possible. — Lee Jin-seok was surprised to receive Liu Anna's call right after finishing a game in the Secret Chamber and heard her request to meet that day. "What happened?" Normally she would coordinate her schedule, but her voice on the phone today sounded off. However, he quickly realized that meeting in person to check on her condition was enough, and immediately brought up the reward interface for discovering the secret ritual. [Blood of the Gods] - You have absorbed the blood of the gods, which originates from the same source as the life force of this planet. From this moment on, your potential will break through the limitations of paper and be enhanced. Seeing the description "Breaking through racial potential limitations," Li Zhenshuo recalled the attribute panel he had seen before—even in the late game, due to the inherent limitations of the human race, the status bar could only display "Supreme," but now a new upper limit of "Demigod" appeared next to it. 'But that's not all.' Breaking through racial limitations was certainly gratifying, but what excited him most was another reward. [Skill Upgrade Selection Ticket] This was a special reward obtained from exploring unknown secrets. Although there were other optional rewards, this was the best choice for him, who could use skills in reality. After obtaining the skill upgrade ticket, Li Zhenshuo immediately decided to upgrade his Brand Master level. [Apply the Skill Upgrade Selection Ticket to Brand Master skills?] "Confirm application." [Application successful.] Upon hearing the system notification, he immediately checked the skill description: Brander - Level 3 Yin Mark: Can imprint invisible Yin marks. Allows the use of three abilities in combination. 'Finally...!' How many times had this powerful skill been left idle because he couldn't imprint? Thinking that he could finally fully utilize the skill's effects, his heart pounded. After confirming all the rewards, Li Zhenshuo drove to the office he had arranged to meet Liu Anna. It was already 10 p.m. when he arrived. Perhaps because it was late, only the interior offices of the entire company were lit. -Knock knock- Come in. Knowing she was inside after seeing the lights, Li Zhenshuo knocked on the door, and Liu Anna responded. "Good evening." "Welcome, Mr. Zhenshuo, thank you for coming so late." "You're welcome, I also hope to resolve this as soon as possible." As she sat down, Liu Anna, who seemed used to this kind of interaction, got up from the main seat and sat next to him. She was still wearing the same clothes she had worn during the day, indicating that she hadn't gone home after the interview. "Have you finished conquering all the secret chambers?" "Yes, I thought it would be difficult, but it was easy following the map." "Would you like something to drink?" After a brief conversation, Liu Anna suddenly stood up and asked. "Uh... it's so late, I'll have some vanilla tea." She suddenly remembered that she had run out of vanilla tea while rummaging through the tea cabinet. "Sorry, I just finished my vanilla tea today..." "No need for that." Liu Anna hesitated for a moment, then her eyes suddenly lit up: "Do you drink alcohol?" "Alcohol?" "Yes, I received some good wine last time, if you don't mind...""He came here to discuss serious business, but suddenly suggested drinking," Lee Jin-seok chuckled inwardly and nodded. 'Drinking alone with a man late at night? Isn't that a green light signal?' "No problem." "Please wait a moment." Liu Anna apologized and left the office. About ten minutes later, Lee Jin-seok, having heard the commotion, opened the door early. "Ah, thank you." Liu Anna, who had just opened the door at the perfect moment, held a bottle that looked like a bottle of spirits and some snacks, bowing in thanks. She placed the spirits and cubed cheese she had brought on the desk and took out a glass from the drawer. "You really enjoy drinking, don't you?" "Yes, when I encounter a bottleneck at work, a little drink actually helps clear my head more than I expected." After answering the question about drinking, Liu Anna quickly finished arranging things and sat back down in the seat next to Lee Jin-seok. EP0154 "Please have this." "Thank you very much." "Although I drove here, I couldn't refuse the beautiful woman's toast, so I accepted the glass and drank it. 'I probably won't be able to go home tonight.' Looking at Liu Anna's current state, Li Zhenshuo felt that things might work out tonight, so he filled her glass. 'I'll have a drink with you too.' 'Thank you.' The crystal glass contained half a glass of liquor, and the two gently clinked glasses. - Clink! The glasses clinked, making a pleasant sound. They both took a sip without saying a word. 'Whew...it's a bit strong.' '37 degrees is definitely strong.' He, who usually only drinks soju and beer, was choked by the unique alcohol taste of the liquor. As Li Zhenshuo exhaled the breath of the liquor, Liu Anna closed her eyes, intoxicated by the aftertaste of the alcohol. 'It seems you really love liquor.' 'Yes...especially since I can taste different flavors every time I drink liquor.'" Her usually composed face now betrayed her distress. Li Zhenshuo secretly activated his "Eye of Lust" to check her status: Name: Liu Anna Status: Frustrated due to a conflict with her boyfriend 'The situation is good.' A woman depressed after arguing with her boyfriend, alone at a drinking party. With proper comfort, there's an opportunity. "How long will it take to finish the script?" He used the alcohol to steer the conversation towards her favorite topic. "Hmm... not much content, I can finish it in a week." "Taking longer than expected." "I can finish it in five days at the fastest." Seeing her hastily change her tune, he chuckled inwardly. After a few rounds of drinks and finishing their business, Liu Anna suddenly changed the subject: "Mr. Zhenshuo... can I consult you about some relationship problems?" "Relationships?" "My friend is having some troubles..." She regretted it as soon as the words left her mouth—how could she confide in this person? He was a crucial figure who could influence her career. "Please, speak freely." The unexpectedly kind response made her pupils dilate slightly. She had expected to be met with disdain, but instead, he even turned to face her. "It's just... my friend suspects her boyfriend is cheating." Li Zhenshuo listened patiently to her fabricated "friend's" story: The introverted woman rarely lost her temper, but her boyfriend was unusually sensitive and suspicious. As she recounted it, she suddenly realized—this man who had been watching her so intently possessed a captivating charm. He nodded attentively throughout, without a trace of impatience. "So my friend can't understand her boyfriend's misunderstanding." "Why do you think he's overreacting?" "Perhaps he's mistaking a work relationship for something more." Li Zhenshuo knew perfectly well: her best friend of 22 years suddenly revealing a side of herself to a strange man? Especially since that man was handsome and charming, and she always talked about him? Anyone would think it was her problem. But at this moment, he had to stand in the woman's shoes: the first step in comforting someone is always empathy. "Once you've fully empathized, it's not too late to assign blame or find solutions. That's actually more efficient." "Moreover, Li Zhenshuo is currently plotting to break them up, and he needs to portray the man as the one at fault." "Hmm... judging from Miss Anna's description, your boyfriend seems to have some sensitive traits." "What exactly?" "First of all, he can't distinguish between 'business' and 'personal relationships'? Even if it's normal to be wary of men you've just met, he's overly sensitive to work-related actions." "Is that so...?" "From a male perspective, that's certainly true." "Damn it... what am I even talking about?" Even though he managed to smooth things over, Lee Jin-seok himself found it absurd. It's in a man's nature to be wary of handsome men approaching his girlfriend—even in the workplace, a male's instinct to protect his mate is understandable. Especially when that man witnessed his girlfriend displaying her alluring charm for the first time in twenty-two years? A possessive man would have been furious. But normal people can resolve things through communication. A simple "I hope you won't do that" could have led to mutual understanding—unfortunately, Lee Jin-seok had already planted a seed of doubt in Chi Eun-hye, making that impossible. "Even though I was the one who instigated it, it actually worked?" He had indeed planted a seed of suspicion, but he hadn't expected the effect to be so immediate. A man with even a little self-respect could handle this calmly; Chi Eun-hye's self-respect must be so low to have reacted like this. Lee Jin-seok secretly rejoiced at his successful plan and continued to psychologically manipulate Liu Anna: "I'm puzzled that he got angry first when it could have been resolved through communication." "That's what I'm most confused about too." "If you're feeling uncomfortable, just explain it clearly. Why do you have to raise your voice..." "People always fantasize that others can read their unspoken thoughts." "That's right. I feel more relaxed when I speak frankly." Lee Jin-seok's words, which precisely hit the spot in her heart, gradually dispelled Liu Anna's pent-up frustration. Unconsciously, she forgot to defend her friend and echoed his words in the first person. Unlike the unreasonable Chi Eun-hyuk, her conversation with Lee Jin-seok, which was full of common sense, felt like a breath of fresh air. During the conversation, Liu Anna was completely unaware that she was gradually becoming addicted to his charm. "It's been a long time since I've had such a comfortable conversation..." His seemingly all-knowing words struck her heart directly. Unlike others who required her to repeatedly explain her emotional blind spots, he could understand her with just a few words, making the conversation flow like water. "It's so late." "Ah... really..." Liu Anna's hesitant tone betrayed her lingering interest in the conversation. Time had quietly slipped from nine o'clock when they first met to midnight. "I only wanted to have a quick chat about work, but it's gone by so much." "I'm sorry... it's all my fault for suddenly needing a consultation..." "It was my own choice, you don't need to feel guilty at all. How are you going to get home so late?" "I drove here, but I've been drinking, so I'll have to find a designated driver or take a taxi." Liu Anna was caught in a dilemma. 'I want to continue talking...' For the first time in her life, she had met someone she could talk to so congenially, and the thought of not knowing when they would meet again after tonight's parting made her throat suddenly feel parched. "Um... how about we stay here until tomorrow morning?" "Tomorrow morning?" "Hmm... it's dangerous late at night, and besides, we have guest rooms here. What do you think?" This unexpected invitation made Li Zhenshuo inwardly cheer: 'I was just worried that the atmosphere was so good that I wouldn't want to leave.' He pretended to think for a moment and then nodded: "Since Miss Anna says so, then I'll stay the night." "Don't mention it. I'll go to the restroom first." "Please go ahead." Being allowed to stay meant more opportunities for conversation, and Liu Anna happily headed towards the bathroom. "Phew...did I drink too much?" Her face in the mirror was redder than usual when she was drunk. She was usually a heavy drinker, but now half a bottle of liquor had turned her face red—she seemed to be in poor condition today. Liu Anna stood in front of the mirror, applying powder to her face, quickly tidying her clothes before heading back to the office. While Liu Anna went to the restroom, Li Zhenshuo, left alone in the office, was agonizing. 'Should I drug her? Should I? Should I?' About half a bottle of liquor remained in the crystal glass. He was hesitating whether to add a drug to the remaining liquor. [What's there to hesitate about? Since I'm already in this situation, I might as well drug her.] The system, as usual, advised him not to think too much and to go to sleep first. But lately, using drugs to seduce women for everything was making Li Zhenshuo a little uncomfortable. 'While skills are indeed very useful after a success, using drugs too frequently...'"[Just let her sleep first. Just pour it in.]" While the white angel Li Zhenshuo and the demon system in his mind were locked in a struggle, he finally opened the shop. "I wonder when I'll have another opportunity like this." Since he'd already laid the groundwork, any mistake would ruin everything, so he decided to use a sleeping potion. After purchasing a high-grade sleeping potion from the shop, perhaps still retaining a sliver of conscience, he only used one drop. The dosage was just enough to slightly arouse her body, without causing her to completely lose her mind and throw herself into his arms. He calculated that this amount should allow Liu Anna to choose whether to get close, rather than being completely controlled by the drug. EP0155 "Sorry to keep you waiting?" "It's alright." Liu Anna seemed to have been busy in the restroom, returning to the office much later than expected. Hearing me say I didn't mind, she smiled slightly and came in, sitting down next to me again. "The liquor is almost gone, would you like some more?" Liu Anna asked, looking at the nearly empty bottle. "We're staying here tonight anyway, a little more won't hurt." Hearing that I wasn't planning on going home, her eyes lit up and she smiled, saying she'd go get more liquor. "Then I'll go get another bottle, and we should get some snacks too." "No rush, how about we finish what's in our glasses first?" "Okay." Hearing that it was still early, she was about to get up but then sat back down, picking up the glass laced with the drug. - Clang! We clinked glasses again after our first toast, and downed the remaining liquor in our glasses. Seeing that the half-empty bottle of liquor was almost gone, Liu Anna immediately stood up, as if afraid of interrupting the atmosphere: "I'll go get some more." "Miss Anna, may I come with you?" "Of course!" Slightly tipsy, she smiled happily whenever she heard Li Zhenshuo speak. "The company is more spacious than I imagined." "Really? You specifically found such a large space to expand your channel's business." Praised, she smiled even more brightly, a stark contrast to her usual serious demeanor. The two went to the wine cellar, and Liu Anna, familiar with the place, turned on the lights and retrieved a bottle from the depths: "This is a rare find." Even I, a novice, could tell that this beautifully engraved bottle of foreign wine was quite valuable. "Truly high-end." "That's right, it took a lot of effort to get it. Let's go back and try it!" she said excitedly. After choosing their drinks, they returned to the office. "Ah, Mr. Zhenshuo, please wait a moment." Liu Anna put down the food and drinks and began to take off her coat: "I'm a little hot after drinking." Li Zhenshuo understood that the drug was taking effect. 'The effect is faster than expected,' he thought to himself. Logically, this dosage shouldn't cause such confusion, but her elevated body temperature was clearly a sign of the drug's influence. 'Ha...the alcohol's kicking in...' Liu Anna unconsciously unbuttoned her shirt, revealing her snow-white cleavage—this time it wasn't deliberate seduction, just a purely instinctive reaction to her rising body temperature. 'She really is mixed-race.' Looking at her skin, which was even whiter and more flawless than most Asians, Li Zhenshuo secretly admired her. Suddenly, he noticed her gaze and turned his head, meeting her eyes. 'Want another drink?' Her eyes sparkled with a light he had never seen before, a straightforward look under the combined influence of alcohol and drugs, as if saying, 'Oh, interesting.' As Li Zhenshuo sat down, she took out a beautifully packaged bottle of wine. 'Hmm...!' Her clumsy attempt to open the bottle cap made him chuckle. 'I'll do it.' 'My hands are getting weak from the alcohol...' she mumbled, looking down. -Pop! The crisp sound of the cork popping out made her eyes light up, and she eagerly stared at the glass that was about to be filled. "Let me toast you first this time." Seeing Lee Jin-seok tilt the bottle, her eagerness in quickly handing him the glass made him chuckle inwardly. "Please enjoy." "Hmm...it's strong, but much more fragrant than the last bottle." "Right? This liquor can't be bought in Korea; I had a friend overseas specially purchase it for me." Hearing Lee Jin-seok say his favorite liquor tasted good, Liu Anna seemed to improve, giggling as she immediately refilled his glass. "It gets better the more you drink; please savor it." "Thank you very much." Contrary to her words of encouragement, whenever the glass was empty, Liu Anna's sparkling eyes seemed to want to refill it. After drinking a considerable amount of liquor, she suddenly stood up and said, "I'm going to the restroom." "Okay, please." After saying she was going to the restroom, Liu Anna left her seat and walked out of the office. Lee Jin-seok, seeing her slightly uneasy clenched thighs as she walked, was certain the drug was taking effect. "What choice will she make..." He was genuinely curious about how Liu Anna, who had a boyfriend, would ultimately decide. -- After telling Li Zhenshuo she was going to the restroom, Liu Anna found herself in an awkward situation upon arriving. "Why is my body so hot...?" This was a heat she had never experienced before in her life. Her body, which had suppressed its sexual desires since childhood due to its ambition, was now completely unleashed by the aphrodisiac after meeting a man she admired. "Ugh... my body is so hot...!" The temperature of her skin gradually increased, and a tingling sensation spread through her private parts. Faced with this first-ever excitement, Liu Anna hid in a stall, lifted her short skirt to her waist, and first pulled her stockings down to her knees. "This is...?" After removing the stockings she had worn all day, what was revealed was the black thong underwear that most men favored—a helpless choice due to the wide pelvis causing the buttocks to be constantly constricted. When even her last line of defense, her T-shirt, was soaked with love juice and pulled down, her private parts were revealed to be far more delicate than her actual age: beneath platinum blonde pubic hair, the same color as her hair, was a pink, moist vulva, untouched by masturbation, standing out vividly against her fair skin. Thick love juice was dripping from her opening. "I've never experienced anything like this before..." Even though her libido had been suppressed by ambition for years and she had little experience with sex, she knew that her current physical abnormality was not caused by alcohol, but by the excitement induced by aphrodisiacs. When her hot private parts were freed from the constraints of stockings and underwear and exposed to the air, the itching intensified— *plop!* Finally, unable to bear it any longer, Liu Anna reached for her private parts. "Mmm...!" The shivering pleasure that shot through her spine the moment she touched it made her instinctively twist her waist and moan. "What... what is this...!" The intense pleasure, so different from the occasional masturbation, made her waist and legs tremble involuntarily. This was the first time she had ever experienced such stimulation, something she had never cared about before. *Plop plop* "Mmm... Ah... I... I didn't know about this..." The pent-up sexual desire accumulated over 28 years of abstinence overflowed under the influence of the drugs. Her middle and ring fingers awkwardly caressed her clitoris, even forgetting that she was supposed to return to Li Zhenshuo's side. Never having tried penetrating masturbation before, she could only rub up and down. Suddenly, a piercing pleasure shot through her private parts, and her waist arched automatically— "Eee! Ahhh!!" After a brief spasm, she reached orgasm, an unprecedented pleasure shooting up her spine and into her brain. More than panic, pleasure surged first. 'So masturbation feels this good...' Panting and regaining her senses, she found her inner thighs and palms covered in vaginal fluid. Fortunately, the drug's effects were mild and hadn't caused her to squirt, but the dampness of her panties and stockings was irreversible. Considering that suddenly removing the stockings she'd worn all day would inevitably arouse suspicion, Liu Anna ultimately chose to remove her T-shirt, soaked with vaginal fluid. After cleaning herself with tissues, she swallowed hard, convincing herself, "We'll break up eventually anyway... I can't keep wearing these." To avoid making any splashing when she sat down, she decided to go braless. Worried about leaking fluid, Liu Anna tore a tissue and placed it on her genitals, skipping her soaked thong and going straight for stockings and shoes. After the masturbation relieved her urges, she felt the fluid flow stop and stepped out of the stall to stand in front of the mirror. Her hair was slightly damp from the intense masturbation. Her cheeks were noticeably redder than usual from the release of her sexual desire. Even her skirt was slightly wrinkled from sitting on the toilet for so long. After tidying up all her disheveled clothes, Liu Anna was stunned when she saw the bathroom clock. Perhaps because she was so engrossed in masturbation, she hadn't realized that twenty minutes had passed since she entered the bathroom. "What should I do? What should I do...""Previously, touching up her makeup only took ten minutes, but this time it took twenty minutes due to masturbation. Worried that Lee Jin-seok might have strange thoughts, Liu Anna left the restroom and hurried back to her office. —When Liu Anna went to the restroom under the influence of the drug. Lee Jin-seok, checking her condition with his lustful eyes, smiled before she left. Name: Liu Anna Age: 28 Height: 1.7 meters Weight: 61 kg Bust: F cup Erogenous zones: Vulva, ears, tongue, anus Virginity: Yes Sexual preferences: Prefers a dominant sexual style due to strong self-esteem Libido level: Severely injured Current state: Feeling panicked by her burning body EP0156 Lee Jin-seok, confirming Liu Anna's change in condition, quietly recalled her reaction. "Although only one drop might have a weak effect, it seems more effective than expected." Although her libido had only increased from "moderate" to "above average," Li Zhenshuo, who had observed her reactions before leaving, had already anticipated that she was producing vaginal lubrication. Even after drinking, she was usually composed, but now her gait became hesitant—her genitals, aroused and itchy from the drug, were unconsciously rubbing against her thighs as she walked. Having seen countless women aroused to such heights by his skills, Li Zhenshuo was even more certain of his deduction based on Liu Anna's reaction. All preparations were complete. Now, all that remained was for Liu Anna to make a choice. "Will she throw herself into my arms, or continue to endure?" Having already tasted pleasure, her transformation was instantaneous; either choice would be a win-win for him. Whether he indulged in sensual pleasures or suppressed his desires, his resolve to possess her never wavered. Even if he failed this time, as long as she showed a different side of herself after drinking—Liu Anna, whose defenses had been lowered after arguing with her boyfriend—her will inevitably falter. No matter how strong her pride, under the influence of alcohol eroding reason and drugs taking hold, it was inevitable that she would develop a deeper infatuation with someone she already liked if she witnessed a man superior to her boyfriend. Li Zhenshuo only needed to calmly unleash his charm. "If it weren't tonight, the next time we met would be the time to close the net." "It's just a matter of timing; this game, where victory is a certainty, has already been decided." The first encounter with a mixed-race body in twenty-four years—a voluptuous figure that even an oversized shirt couldn't conceal, a large bottom and wide hips rarely seen in Asia, all thanks to her mixed-race genes. Just as Li Zhenshuo was fantasizing about the pleasures of intercourse, he caught sight of Liu Anna returning from the restroom. "Sorry... I kept you waiting...?" "You've been delayed quite a bit this time?" Unlike his previous considerate and understanding tone, this tentative question held a hidden glint in his eyes. Although she might have gone elsewhere, he was certain she'd been masturbating. "You've been suppressing your desires for so long; you must have accumulated quite a bit." There are indeed such people in the world—whose primal desires are suppressed by grand ambitions. Caught off guard, Liu Anna quickly came up with a solution: "I was going to the restroom, but I forgot to turn off the wine cellar light..." "Ah, I see. I was just being nosy by following you..." "No, it was my own oversight." The cellar lights, which Li Zhenshuo had turned off long ago, made the lie impossible to hide. Li Zhenshuo, who had feigned acceptance after putting pressure on her, watched her sit down, secretly relieved. "Could I have been discovered...?" Underneath her skirt wasn't her usual thong, but a tissue soaked with her love juices and slightly damp black pantyhose. Worried that the rustling of the tissue would give her away, she was on pins and needles. —Liu Anna, swallowing hard, carefully sat down. Fortunately, the tissue didn't make the expected rustling. "Phew... I'll try to avoid getting up." Secretly relieved, she raised her glass: "Want to continue?" "With pleasure." With the clinking of glasses, Li Zhenshuo downed the remaining wine in one gulp. "Hmm... I still can't get used to the taste of alcohol." "That's how it is when you're a newbie. You'll slowly grow to love the smell. Want to switch to wine?" "No need, I'm prone to hangovers from mixing drinks." "Worried that the low-alcohol beverage would dilute the effects of the medicine, Li Zhenshuo politely declined the suggestion. 'We've already gone this far, how can we let alcohol ruin everything?' Amidst the clinking of glasses, Liu Anna, who had previously relieved herself through masturbation, was once again overcome with passion. 'Mmm...!' The stimulation of her sensitive genitals by the rough tissue made her groan. 'Miss Anna?' She hurriedly covered her mouth, then quickly came up with a solution: 'I bit my tongue... don't worry.' Li Zhenshuo, feigning concern, chuckled inwardly and patted her shoulder to confirm: 'Are you really alright?' 'Really!' Liu Anna, confident in her clever lie, took a deep breath and considered: 'I'll hold on a little longer and then use fatigue as an excuse to leave.' Unable to leave due to the remaining wine, she had no choice but to continue this dangerous banquet. After calming herself down for a moment, Liu Anna suddenly met Li Zhenshuo's gaze, who was looking at her with concern. 'Uh...?'" The moment Liu Anna turned and met Li Zhenshuo's gaze, she was startled to find his hand casually resting on her shoulder. Always extremely sensitive to touch, Liu Anna had developed a deep aversion to being touched since high school. Even when suffering from severe pain, she rarely sought medical attention due to her aversion to doctors' touch—yet now she couldn't understand why she could tolerate this situation. "I was touched, yet...?" Normally, she would have laughed and used the excuse of stretching her shoulder to shake off that hand. But now, facing this man she had only met twice, the hand on her shoulder didn't evoke the slightest aversion. The physical contact she had once resisted so strongly now felt completely at ease with Li Zhenshuo's touch. This contradiction left Liu Anna bewildered. "Miss Anna?" "The pain subsided after chewing a little. Would you like some more?" "Lost in thought about the mystery of immunity, Liu Anna was startled by his words and hurriedly responded. After that, during their drinks, the rest of his conversation didn't clearly reach her ears. This was the first human she hadn't felt repulsed by since high school. Upon first encountering such a person, Liu Anna gradually developed an interest in him, and this interest was now igniting a sexual desire that had been barely suppressed by the drug and reason. "I can't...take it anymore...!" The surge of sexual desire intensified the itching in her genitals. What was previously tolerable now made her want to reach under her skirt and scratch. Liu Anna finally couldn't bear the torment any longer and sat on the chair, subtly swaying her hips. —The rustling sound of fabric against fabric, the slight relief from the rough tissue scraping her genitals, brought her a sigh of relief, completely unaware of her current loss of composure. Li Zhenshuo, witnessing her sudden twisting of her waist, had a slight tremor in his pupils. "Right in front of me...?" "This is not simply adjusting her posture—it's clearly the unique hip and waist movements of a woman riding a cowgirl. Anyone with sexual experience can instantly recognize the lewd implications. She is simulating intercourse with an almost explicit range of motion. Meanwhile, Liu Anna, engrossed in masturbation on the seat, quickly realizes the stimulation is insufficient. 'This is simply not enough...!' Previously, she could achieve a weak orgasm through masturbation, but now, in her heightened state, this superficial stimulation is utterly useless. However, because of the man beside her, she dares not increase the intensity. Just as she's racking her brains for a solution, Li Zhenshuo, who has been watching the entire time, finally can't hold back any longer. 'Clearly begging for pleasure and not taking it, isn't that just being a coward?' Her flushed cheeks, the curves beneath her clothes, and the unique allure of her mixed-race heritage—all these now act as a poison that destroys reason. 'Miss Anna...' 'Hmm? Mmm...!' He suddenly moves closer to her as she continues to twist her hips, and in the instant her lips part slightly in response, he forcefully kisses her. 'Ugh! Mmm!'" "The moment she tried to lean back to avoid him, he clamped his hand on the back of her head, cutting off her escape. "Mmm...tsk...slurp..." Her inexperienced lips quickly succumbed to his teasing. The instant her defenses were breached, he immediately thrust his tongue deep into her mouth. "My head is spinning..." The skillful tongue technique made Liu Anna lose her senses. The lust catalyzed by the drug completely shattered her rational defenses—at this moment, she willingly submitted to the overwhelming masculine aura. "Haa...tsk, slurp...hiss..." Liu Anna, experiencing the taste of kissing for the first time, passively endured the oral invasion. She, who abhorred physical contact, had originally planned to preserve her virginity until marriage, but now her defenses crumbled in the face of the superior masculinity. "Easier than I imagined." Li Zhenshuo was secretly surprised. Even with the aid of the drug, the expected resistance had not materialized. He wantonly swept her inexperienced tongue across her body, while his gaze fell upon the barely visible cleavage. Between the unbuttoned shirt buttons, the deep valley rose and fell with her breath. He skillfully unbuttoned the remaining buttons one by one with one hand, preparing to fully conquer this long-awaited territory. Liu Anna didn't even realize that the buttons of her women's shirt had been undone, completely focused on the pleasure of being teased between her lips and teeth. At this moment, she seemed to have finally made up her mind, and her tongue, which had been restrained for so long, began to slowly move. 'So kissing can feel this good...' She had naively thought that the intertwining of lips and tongue was merely superficial skin-to-skin contact, and could never bring direct pleasure to the genitals, but now, her personal experience had overturned her understanding. "Mmm... sucking... hahmm, kissing feels so good..." Each time Li Zhenshuo's tongue swept across her gums, fangs, palate, and cheeks, a trembling pleasure washed over her like waves. Just as this simple kiss had completely lowered her guard, and she was gradually indulging in the slowly building pleasure—Liu Anna suddenly snapped back to reality due to the sensation of her breasts being grabbed. "Tsk tsk... Haa...""Huh?" Her proud breasts, which she had never allowed anyone to touch since adulthood, were now being wantonly kneaded. She subconsciously glanced down between kisses, then gasped. Sometime during the kiss, all the buttons on her shirt had popped open, and even the hooks on her bra had come loose, leaving half of her snow-white, round breasts exposed to the air. 'When...?' This ambitious man, who should have been as celibate as she was, possessed a level of skill in controlling women far beyond her imagination. EP0157 Lee Jin-seok's skillful touch made her involuntarily gasp in amazement, and the sudden stimulation from her nipples caused her to moan and writhe. "Ah! Um!" "Huff...slurp..." But this gasp lasted only a moment—Liu Anna was immediately silenced by a barrage of kisses, her sobs swallowed up. 'Too fast!' While she was still reeling from the unexpectedly rapid pace of his caresses, Li Zhenshuo was kneading her full breasts with one hand, gently pinching her erect nipples. 'The best feel of any woman I've ever been with!' No woman, whether in reality or in the game, could provide such exquisite sensations as Liu Anna. Her flawless, snow-white breasts were as smooth as finely sifted flour. Though hidden by her bra, the subtle elasticity of her nipples, brushed against his fingertips, brought him immense pleasure. "Mmm...ah...kiss!" After an unknown amount of deep kissing and caressing, Li Zhenshuo judged the time was right and was about to reach under her skirt—but as his fingers traced her prominent pelvis, Liu Anna, who had been limp, suddenly grabbed his wrist. "No!" Faced with her sudden, clear-headed refusal, Li Zhenshuo was stunned. 'You're stopping now that we've come this far?' Liu Anna was desperately imagining her disheveled state beneath her skirt: only pantyhose, with a tissue padded in her private area. 'Intercourse in this state is absolutely out of the question!' Even if it wasn't her first night filled with sweet words, she couldn't possibly appear in such an embarrassing state. For her, still a virgin at twenty-eight, the thought of her beloved discovering her embarrassing state with the tissue padded would likely drive her to the brink of suicide. 'Miss Anna?' '…' Hearing the call so close, she turned to meet his confused gaze. She felt guilty for ruining the atmosphere, yet desperately sought a way out—this farewell ceremony to her virginity, which she had longed for for twenty-eight years, was something she desired more than anyone else. 'This is my first time… I don't want to do it here… how about we go to the bed in the duty room?' "This was the best solution she could think of: use the opportunity to deal with the soaked tissues. Although her thong, saturated with love fluid, was unwearable, at least it could cover her most shameful parts." "Sorry, I was too hasty." "It's okay…can I go to the restro
