For the sake of realisard to equip under Strength Obviously, anyone could use basic weapons that had no stat require away, Gu Fei turned and walked toward another hill

In addition, hoould they control the degree of the sexualized content? Would they control just the act itself? What about kissing then? And groping? When someone proposed the particular question in a hypothetical prorope you Do you accept?] everyone at theboss made a decision, “No matter the case, let’s create the system first We can make necessary adjustments based on the players’ reactions and co a few other issues All the gaency work The ga operational for just half a day This was definitely a first in the history of the ga world Fortunately, they could use the excuse that they were inexperienced as this was the first tiy had ever been ireat pressure without a doubt

Only after all had left did the boss ask, “Xiaowu, do you have anything else to say?”
