My wife, who's in a vegetative state, please stop eavesdropping on my thoughts.

Then came a "click".

Accompanied by the special effect of ice shattering.

A completely different, far more luxurious and dazzling store interface slowly emerged from beneath the ice.

——Exclusive Shop for the Eight Night Patrol Guards——

These large characters float at the very top of the interface, etched in the form of frozen ice.

The line that originally displayed Adele's points balance has now been completely replaced by a string of new icy characters.

My points have been reset to zero.

No, more accurately, the form of money has completely changed!

Ice Coins: 0

This is similar to the hidden VIP shop in those large online games, which is only unlocked for super-rich players after spending millions of dollars. Ordinary players can't even see the entrance.

Weiss glanced at the product list briefly.

I almost forgot to breathe.

10-Year Elixir of Immortality - 1 Ice Coin

3 drop of Tier 7 Dream Potion - 1 Frost Coins

1 drop of Tier 6 Dream Potion - 5 Frost Coins

Added a random Snowfall Mystic Shard enchantment - 20 Ice Coins (once only).

Added a random Snow White complete secret enchantment - 200 Ice Coins (one-time only).

Weiss's pupils contracted slightly.

What the hell is all this stuff?!

It seems that the freezing enchantment that Snow White bestowed upon him was only a fragment. That makes sense. If he had been given the complete Miracle Secret directly, he would have to go back and deal with those Tier 6 Feather Kings right now.

In addition to these precious items that would drive any superhuman from the outside world mad, the list also included a bunch of forbidden items with ridiculously high and almost unbelievable numbers.

One of them immediately caught Weiss's eye.

Its appearance, as shown in the product description, is a huge round fan woven from white clouds, with a faint, ethereal breeze flowing across the image.

Forbidden Item No. 17: North Wind - 999 Ice Coins

Ability Details: Feeling the winter wind blowing from the northern polar region while wandering the lonely starry sky isn't bad, is it?

Weiss stared at the line of text, unconsciously holding his breath.

Number 17, North Wind!!!

Among the forbidden things, the north wind holds a position so significant that it could almost be the subject of its own dedicated text.

Countless myths and legends have been born around it.

Of those stories, the most famous one is precisely about a drug addict.

The myth tells the story of a protagonist who starts as a wind addict at the very bottom and gradually advances to the fifth level of the Void, the final path to enlightenment.

However, in the final battle, he was still no match for a Tier 5 being at the end of the conquest system—the Emperor—in a direct confrontation.

At the critical moment, thanks to deus ex machina and the protagonist's halo, he successfully awakened the forbidden object sleeping beneath the world—the North Wind.

With a powerful swing of his fan, he blew the evil and domineering emperor straight into the depths of the starry sky.

It is said to still be wandering in the universe.

Although myths and legends are generally exaggerated, there is no doubt that the North Wind is the dream weapon of all wind addicts.

The immense power of the winds it generates can blow any enemy to the ends of the earth with a single gust!

but......

Regarding price...

999 Ice Coins.

Even a single drop of Tier 6 Dream Potion only costs 5 Frost Coins.

The price tag of 999 is clearly just for display purposes.

Not for sale, just for people who are tempted.

Weiss sighed and silently withdrew his burning gaze.

However, just as Weiss was about to look back again, a very subtle fluctuation suddenly came from inside his body.

It seems that the freezing enchantment of Snow White has taken effect.

It flickered a few times, then transformed into an icy blue light, slowly merging into the snowflake brooch in Weiss's arms.

The next instant, the previously worthless Frost Coin suddenly jumped out of thin air.

That's five in total!!

Immediately afterwards, a series of store system notifications popped up.

Note: Only the 8 Night Patrol Guards can unlock the exclusive shop after obtaining the Snow White Brooch.

The initial Ice Coins for each of the 8 directly subordinate guards are 5.

The annual salary for each of the eight directly subordinate guards is 3 Frost Coins.

The eight guards under your direct command can receive extra Frost Coins after completing the mission personally assigned by Snow White.

Icecoin cannot be traded in any form.

Weiss read through these precautions line by line.

While feeling slightly pleased, a sense of helplessness also arose in my heart.

"All right......"

"It seems even this shop has mistaken me for one of their personal guards."

Although Snow White didn't give her a formal title, she still provided her with enchantments and rewards.

Moreover, it must be said that it is remarkable that these precious resources were made available for the eight guards to exchange.

Shirayuki treats her family members very well...

Now, it's clear how inferior this bird is to the caged bird that casually eats its own feathers like snacks.

After pondering for a moment, Weiss finally decided to keep the five Ice Coins intact for now.

After all, Storm's Tier 7 potion isn't some rare, limited-edition item, so there's no need to waste Ice Coins on Dream Potions. Anything that can be bought with money is definitely not worth spending Ice Coins on.

I'll save up more later and see if I can collect enough for a few bottles of Tier 6 Dream Potion, or we'll see.

As for those items costing several hundred Ice Coins or more, they are clearly not something that can be obtained by saving money.

With that in mind, Weiss switched back to the regular store interface.

Then Adele used her points to redeem the Forbidden Items auto-repair service.

It has to be said that the technology at the Night Patrol headquarters is incredibly advanced.

Weiss simply tapped the virtual interface twice with his finger.

The white snow brooch on his chest immediately emitted a cold light, scanning his body as if it were automatically detecting something.

Seconds later, the light spread along Weiss's body, quickly and accurately capturing two forbidden objects with dim luster—

People who go against the tide and paradise.

Weiss patiently stood there and waited.

About three minutes later, the pure white pocket watch he wore on his chest suddenly trembled slightly and emitted a very faint buzzing sound.

Weiss did a quick test and paused the whirlwind in his hand for a moment.

That familiar feeling of stagnation returned instantly.

"good......"

"Pretty efficient!!"

The abilities of those who went against the tide have been restored.

However, the park's restoration is taking much longer.

A full 15 minutes passed, and Weiss was getting impatient. Finally, a bright light suddenly burst forth from the depths of his right eye.

The amusement park has been restored.

Weiss blinked and considered for a moment.

Ultimately, the lifespan was not wasted on testing.

Well, since Snow White Shop says it's fixed, let's just assume it's fixed.

After leaving the night patrol points redemption area, West deliberately turned into a clothing store.

He stood in front of the full-length mirror and carefully examined his eyes.

The left eyeball remained unchanged, while the right pupil was slightly whitish. Upon closer inspection, the blood vessels that were originally scattered throughout the eye were now completely frozen by ice crystals, giving it a translucent, icy blue appearance.

If no one is looking closely at the bloodshot in your eyes, you won't notice much difference.

Sure enough, the amusement park couldn't escape being stained by the snow either...

With everything ready, Weiss didn't delay any longer and strode towards the Night Patrol headquarters.

.........

The entire Night Patrol headquarters is a magnificent complex of interconnected buildings, with the exterior walls of all the buildings covered with a layer of translucent, crystalline ice.

From a distance, this frozen complex of buildings looks exactly like the magnificent ice crystal city wall at the entrance of the royal city, as if it were a frozen town hidden in a bustling metropolis.

Weiss showed the coin that the young swordsman had given him at the entrance.

"I would like to use a spot from the Lunette family to participate in the Snow Palace Trial."

Upon hearing this, the night patrol staff responsible for receiving the guests exchanged bewildered glances, their faces simultaneously displaying strange expressions.

It's not that there's anything wrong with the trial slots for the Snow Palace—

It was because of the Lunette family...

With the Snow Palace Trials about to open to the public, the academy faction was making a huge fuss. And then, at this crucial juncture, the Lunette family sent people to use the spots early—it all looked like they were up to no good.

Could there be some kind of conspiracy?

The staff members looked at each other, unsure of what to do.

After discussing it, they decided to report the matter to higher-ups first.

Just then, footsteps came from the side corridor.

A blue-haired man in a blue aristocratic suit happened to pass by. The snowflake brooch on his chest had two shining stars on it, which looked vaguely familiar to Weiss.

When the staff saw the newcomer, they were immediately relieved and called out to him.

"Lord Ryan, there's a situation here..."

"This gentleman from the Lunette family wants to use a spot in the Snow Palace test."

Upon hearing this, the blue-haired man stopped and looked Weiss up and down with a mixture of curiosity and doubt, before raising an eyebrow.

"Wait... haven't we met before?"

At this moment, Weiss also recognized the other person's face.

"Yes, we met once at the edge of the Dark Realm. You went to Moonlit City with Night Patrol Snow Queen to provide support, right?"

"Ah, it's you..." The blue-haired man suddenly realized, a smile appearing on his lips: "That one from the Adele family—the wind addict, right?"

During his time guarding the town of Dimple, he chatted briefly with Adele out of boredom.

He still had some impression and interest in this commoner son-in-law who had married a person in a vegetative state.

They did indeed brush past the Selenes family's convoy once.

"Are you that fast?"

Weiss asked with some confusion, "We set off much earlier than you, how come you arrived at the royal city before me?"
