Chapter 207: Chapter 146 Pure Love_2

"Sorry, I can’t seat so many people here."

Stanley chuckled a couple of times, saw that no one was laughing along, and awkwardly said, "Before the game starts, let me announce the rules again."

"I will ask each person ten questions. As long as your answers are always correct, you will pass the game and receive generous rewards.

But if anyone lies, sorry, you will all be eliminated."

"Well then... let’s start the game!"

The spotlight fell on Will.

"Please listen to the first question."

Stanley pondered for a long time before asking, "Do you have a lover?"

"?"

Will seemed surprised by the simplicity of the question. He paused for a moment and then nodded, "Yes."

A green check mark appeared on the watch, indicating that he told the truth.

The audience was silent, as the question was too ordinary and simple, with no excitement.

The spotlight then focused on Huo Yan Luo.

"Hiss... this question seems a bit embarrassing."

Stanley looked at Huo Yan Luo, "Have you ever visited a pornographic website?"

Huo Yan Luo’s expression turned strange. What kind of question was this?

"Yes." She nodded frankly.

There was an immediate uproar from the audience.

Huo Yan Luo remained calm as usual. For a high-level extraordinary person like her, even an ordinary person wouldn’t be flustered if they had thick skin.

Next was Jiang Wuming.

"Have you ever had sexual relations with a female/male or any other gendered being?"

"Of course." Jiang Wuming shrugged, "Who would still be a virgin in their twenties?"

I suspect he’s indirectly talking about me... Zhou Yuan’s mouth twitched.

"Have you ever killed your kind?" Stanley then asked Bai Lang.

Bai Lang shook his head, "No."

He was a True Dragon, and there were very few of his kind in the world. It was even hard to see them, let alone kill them.

Then it was Zhou Yuan’s turn.

"Dear guest, please listen to your first question!"

Stanley deliberately dragged out his words, then pointed at Zhou Yuan and spoke after a few seconds:

"What kind of females/males or any gendered being do you like? Name at least ten traits."

"???"

Zhou Yuan was stunned, "Why do I get this kind of question?"

Everyone else got "yes" or "no" questions, and they gave me special treatment?

"There has to be some variety in the questions. Please answer directly." Stanley smiled.

Zhou Yuan pondered for a moment, counting on his fingers as he spoke, "Alive, female, pretty, big-busted, long-legged, round-butt, knows to eat when hungry, knows to seek shelter when it rains, knows to sleep when tired, and most importantly—likes me."

"Oh—such high standards!"

Stanley pretended to be surprised, "You actually want someone who likes you, that’s quite a tall order! Finding love in Night City is like finding a virgin in a brothel!"

The audience burst into laughter.

After the laughter died down, Stanley announced, "The first round of questions is over, but that was just a warm-up. The second round will be slightly more intense, so I hope you are all prepared."

Stanley looked at the card in his hand, sucking in a breath.

"This question, is quite extraordinary!"

The audience’s curiosity was immediately piqued.

Stanley looked at Beastman Will and asked in a serious tone, "If your lover cheated on you, what would you do?"

Zhou Yuan and the others’ expressions changed slightly. This question was a bit sharp.

"I believe my lover wouldn’t cheat on me." Will said seriously.

"No no no, that’s not an answer. Please answer directly." Stanley repeated word by word, "If your lover cheated on you, what would you do?"

Will fell silent.

His heart rate increased but soon calmed down.

"I would talk to her, understand why she cheated, and then break up."

The watch remained inactive for several seconds. Just as everyone’s hearts were in their throats, the watch and the edge of Will’s platform lit up with green lights.

This indicated that he was telling the truth.

Taking into account this question, those green lights didn’t seem very friendly.

"It seems this green-skinned friend is quite traditional. After all, cheating isn’t uncommon in Night City. Many people don’t care about these things...

But congratulations, you passed the second round!"

Stanley led the applause, and after the sporadic clapping from the audience stopped, he looked at the card in his hand, unable to hold back a smile.

"This question..."

Stanley fake-coughed twice, his smile uncontrollable, and asked Huo Yan Luo, "What position did you use the first time you had sex?"

Huo Yan Luo was stunned for a moment, then raised an eyebrow, "Hey, isn’t this question sexual harassment?"

"Sorry, but Night City’s shows have no such restrictions."

Stanley shrugged, "Please answer directly."

Huo Yan Luo clicked her tongue and then said, "I was on top."

"Oh oh, no wonder you’re a little pepper!" Stanley whistled, and the atmosphere immediately became lively again.

Then it was Jiang Wuming’s turn.

"What’s the thing you regret most in your life?"

Jiang Wuming’s smile instantly disappeared.

After being silent for more than ten seconds, he took a deep breath, "I once had someone I loved deeply. During an adventure, we encountered a life-threatening situation, and she chose to sacrifice herself. That’s my biggest regret. The one who died should have been me."

"That’s really a sad past." Stanley sighed.

Then he asked Bai Lang, "Have you ever cheated, either mentally or physically?"

"Um..."

Bai Lang pondered for a long time and still couldn’t come up with an answer, "I have many wives, so does that count as cheating?"

"If you think it does, then it does." Stanley said.

"Then my answer is no." Bai Lang shook his head.

He came from the ancient East Continent worldview, where polygamy was common, so he didn’t feel bound by modern moral standards. Since he was naturally flirtatious, he didn’t think having many wives was a problem.

The green light lit up, indicating he wasn’t lying.

Zhou Yuan squinted; if Bai Lang thought it counted, it counted? Not judging by behavior but by heart?

Hmm... although the question for Will was uncomfortable, it did pierce through to the heart.

So, the goal of this "Truth or Dare" game is to tear away the exterior facade and confront our true selves?

Ending his brief contemplation, Zhou Yuan quickly snapped back to attention, as it was his turn.

Stanley read out the question:

"—Please list ten of your XPs."

Zhou Yuan laughed out of anger.

Seriously, again?

At the same time, he gradually noticed something odd.

These questions increasingly felt like they were gathering information for a personality simulation!

Stanley shrugged, "That’s what the question card says."

Zhou Yuan reluctantly started counting on his fingers again.

"Mature women, lolis, beautiful girls, black stockings, white stockings, sheer stockings, short socks, long socks, garter belts... and let’s add pure love."

"Damn, you’re stealing my ideas!" Jiang Wuming couldn’t hold back.

"It shows we have similar tastes." Zhou Yuan said calmly.

XP preferences were diverse, so it was hard to gather enough information just from labels. He wanted to see what would happen if he kept concealing.

"Again with pure love, guest, how much do you love pure love?"

Stanley was touched, "Who would’ve thought someone still believes in love in this world? It’s so rare. I shall call you the Pure Love Warrior!"
