[Option 3: To make March 7th abandon their suspicions, interrupt and say, "March, with such beautiful ti on our hands, why wear a frown? Co... smile! No smile? Then I'll give you one." - Completion Reward: Obtain a random skill.]
[Option 4: At this point, it seems there's no choice but to involve Qingque. Send her a ssage: "Qingque, quickly co up with sothing lively to brighten the mood... Not willing? You wouldn't want Master Diviner seeing photos of you playing cards during work, would you?" - Completion Reward: Obtain a random item, ranging from small as a matchstick to large as a star destroyer. Note: Such items will...]
[Option 5: Stand up and shout, "All eyes on , everyone! Look at , look here! I have an announcent... I am a fool!" - Completion Reward: Gain the Skill 'I Am a Fool'. After uttering these words, anyone who hears them within the next twenty-four hours will perceive you as a fool.]
This ti, all five options offered positive rewards without any negative consequences.
Bochang could choose from these five possibilities.
However, the reward for the fifth option seed rather insignificant.
While it might be useful under specific circumstances,
for Bochang... announcing oneself as a fool to everyone and then gaining a skill that makes others perceive you as such felt truly pointless.
He imdiately dismissed the fifth option.
Next, he had to decide among the first four choices.
Considering only the rewards,
Bochang found Option One slightly less appealing compared to the other three, which seed more or less equivalent.
The Seven-Colored Tail equipnt, although possessing so special abilities,
at first glance, appeared primarily focused on transforming the tail, essentially serving as a decorative novelty item. It didn't seem particularly significant.
"The four options correspond to four different girls... Strangely, there's no ntion of Tingyun here. Well, let's not dwell on Tingyun now; instead, I should focus on deciding which option to choose."
Bochang found himself hesitating.
For safety, choosing either the first or second option seed preferable.
Between these two, Bochang leaned more towards Option Two with its Seven-Colored Tail.
The rewards for Options Three and Four were entirely a gamble.
They could yield sothing valuable or completely worthless junk.
"Hmm... Maybe I should go for a random item draw instead? I still need a teleportation ring... Let's see if I can get one this way."
"Option Four."
Bochang took out his phone and opened the chat window with Qingque.
His fingers swiftly typed across the screen.
Bochang: "Qingque, quickly co up with so fun activity to liven the atmosphere..."
A notification beeped, catching Qingque's curious attention.
Imdiately, Qingque noticed Bochang's ssage.
It seed that even Luofu Immortal Continent had its share of mischief-makers. At least, Qingque understood what he was implying.
The Mahjong Girl replied, "Why ?! Can't you handle it yourself?"
Bochang: "Not gonna do it? You wouldn't want Master Fu to see photos of you playing mahjong at work, would you?"
Reading this, Qingque felt sowhat speechless. Even if Bochang sent her gaming pictures to Fu Xuan, she likely wouldn't face severe consequences. However...
Being reprimanded by the Master Diviner and potentially receiving extra burdenso tasks were definite possibilities.
Upon further reflection, as a tour guide, enlivening the atmosphere indeed fell within Qingque's responsibilities.
Reluctantly, Qingque responded, "Fine, what kind of prank do you have in mind?"
Bochang: "Think sothing up yourself. If you really can't, try biting a lighter."
Qingque: "Who wants to bite a lighter?! Seriously!"
Lighters were present even in Xianzhou, although their shapes and designs differed from those before Bochang's transmigration. After all, this is Xianzhou.
Qingque lifted her head, glaring at Bochang.
The black-haired youth continued typing: "If not biting a lighter, you could try doing a backflip instead."
Qingque: "How is that any different... Can't you suggest sothing more helpful?"
Bochang: "Stop complaining! Hurry up and think of an idea; at this rate, I'm feeling suffocated."
Qingque couldn't help rolling her eyes, finding his words exaggerated.
While there was indeed an eerie silence,
it wasn't enough to cause suffocation.
Besides, ahead of them, the storyteller was still eloquently narrating tales.
"Spice things up? What can I do to liven the atmosphere?" Qingque muttered to herself, "This is such a bother... If I had known it would be like this, I should've just stayed at the mahjong hall playing cards yesterday..."
"Spice things up... But how exactly?"
"How about telling a joke?"
After pondering for a mont, Qingque broke the silence and said, "Ahem...well, since we're all idle here, why don't I tell you a joke?"
"A joke?" Serval looked at Qingque.
The Mahjong Maiden nodded, "That's right."
"Go ahead then." Stelle gestured with open hands, signaling her to continue.
As soon as Qingque began speaking, she captured everyone's attention.
Taking a mont to compose herself, she started, "A mushroom was walking on the road when it got bumped by an orange. The mushroom angrily exclaid, 'Watch where you're going! You should just die!' And suddenly, the orange did die. Why is that?"
"Why indeed?" Bailu asked curiously.
Qingque raised a finger and replied, "Because when the fungus demands, the orange must comply - hence, 'mushroom' wants 'orange' dead, so the orange has no choice but to die."
Bochang understood imdiately; it was quite a dry joke.
Surprisingly...
Even Luofu Immortal Continent had the saying, "When the ruler commands death, the subject must obey," along with references to mushrooms and oranges. This indicated many similarities between this world and the one Bochang ca from before his transmigration.
However, March 7th, Stelle, and Serval appeared utterly puzzled, seemingly not grasping the joke.
Bailu and Tingyun appeared thoughtful.

"Huh? This equipnt seems quite interesting..." Bochang's eyes sparkled montarily, but he quickly refocused his attention, avoiding any distracting thoughts.
At present...
After Qingque finished her joke, not much changed in the atmosphere.
Bochang rubbed his chin and remarked, "Qingque, that was quite a dry joke."
The mahjong girl placed one hand on her hip. "Well then, why don't you give it a try?"
"Nah, I'll pass. I don't really have any jokes up my sleeve," Bochang declined with a shake of his head.
However, March 7th beca intrigued and exclaid, "I'll go next!"
And so...
the mood livened up once again.
Instead of listening to a storyteller, everyone took turns telling jokes.
Although most were rather la,
they still engaged enthusiastically in conversation.
For a mont, everyone seed to forget their previous concerns.
Bochang's gaze kept subtly drifting towards Tingyun, feeling sowhat heavy-hearted after his recent discovery. After all...
Bochang didn't know the true whereabouts of Tingyun or whether she was still alive.
After pondering for a brief mont, Bochang decided internally, "Later, I'll find an opportunity to shine the Super Flashlight on Tingyun."
