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

Chapter 91: First Encounter with the Ice Queen!! 7K

—The Lunette family

As the morning sunlight streamed in through the gaps in the curtains.

Weiss slowly opened his eyes.

He lay quietly on the bed, his gaze fixed on the ceiling, remaining motionless and silent for a long while.

Then, he let out a long breath.

I have already made my final decision.

—Abandon the relentless pursuit of all the secrets of the One-Armed One at Tier 8!

Don't get me wrong, Weiss isn't going to give the One-Armed Subsequence a cold shoulder, nor is he going to abandon it halfway.

He simply didn't intend to continue stubbornly and relentlessly pursuing the 8th tier.

After all, once you reach Tier 7, your abilities will unlock more mechanisms and possibilities. Perhaps those mysteries that you can't understand now will become natural breakthroughs later on.

In this world, only a minority of extraordinary individuals comprehend the mysteries. There are a bunch of Tier 7 extraordinary individuals who die with zero knowledge of the mysteries. So there shouldn't be any hidden rewards that you can never get back once you miss them.

Moreover, the sequence of amputees is incomplete to begin with...

Using the stats from breaking through the 7th level of the kill system to compensate for the shortcomings in the mechanism is the maximum improvement he can think of and do at the moment.

After figuring this out, he felt much more relaxed.

However, for some reason, Aunt Bai did not return home all night.

It seems there's no love left...

Then, Weiss suddenly remembered a Hakimi joke that had been widely circulated online in his previous life.

"The second cat has arrived!"

"I wonder what Aunt Bai's reaction will be after hearing this story...?"

Elune: ......

Wei Xiao: ......

Aunt Bai only stayed out all night for one day.

Surely the crime doesn't warrant such a severe punishment...

Since Aunt Bai hadn't returned yet, and Weiss couldn't leave for the time being, he simply stayed with Elune for a while longer.

Just as the sun was high in the sky, some noise suddenly broke out at the Lunette family mansion.

Weiss sat up lazily from the bed, walked to the window and looked down.

He was momentarily stunned.

A neat procession of carriages was parked at the entrance of the mansion.

The side was engraved with a familiar emblem—the crescent moon symbol of the Selenes family!

Among the people getting off the car, there were several very familiar faces.

They were clearly all maids who had previously served Elune in the Serene family of Moonlit City.

It seems the abandoned convoy has finally arrived at the royal city...

At the entrance of the mansion, Cassandra, the young swordswoman, and Lunette's personal butler were already there handling the handover. They were looking through the inventory list while verifying the quantities with the head maid.

Seeing this, Weiss breathed a slight sigh of relief.

The Selenes family's men have arrived.

With these experienced maids taking care of Elune's daily life, he was finally able to leave Elune's side temporarily.

Half an hour later, several maids arrived with Elune's daily necessities and some of Weiss's change of clothes to settle her in. Weiss simply greeted them and then turned and left the room.

He walked along the mansion's corridors to the entrance to the Lunette family's residence.

"Weiss, are you going out?" Little Sword Saint Cassandra asked curiously.

"Okay, I'm going to the Starry Sky Chamber of Commerce headquarters. See you tonight," Weiss waved and left.

"The headquarters of the Starry Sky Commerce Guild?"

As Weiss's figure disappeared from sight, Cassandra blinked in surprise.

If she remembered correctly, today should be the day that Bingfei and Fanxing Chamber of Commerce officially signed a cooperation agreement.

This matter has been making headlines throughout the entire capital recently, and newspapers have been reporting on it well in advance.

"So Wei Siwei is a fan of celebrities?"

.......

Leaving the Lunette family mansion.

Yesterday, when Weiss was searching for a shop in the royal city to repair forbidden items, he had already noticed a problem.

Although there are many shops in the royal city that sell items related to forbidden objects.

However, there wasn't a single legitimate shop selling magic potions.

On the contrary, there are quite a few roadside stalls that offer medicine in exchange for medicine.

It seems that the distribution channels for magic potions have long been monopolized.

If you want to get a large quantity of magic potions, you still need to make a trip to the Starry Night Merchant Guild.

Fortunately, the Lunette family mansion, the Starry Sky Merchant Guild headquarters, and the Night Patrol headquarters were all located in the city center of the first ring road of the royal city. Even on foot, it didn't take Weiss long to reach his destination.

The headquarters of the Starry Sky Chamber of Commerce.

This building still stands out among the many luxurious mansions in the heart of the city.

Although its area is far smaller than the magnificent city within a city of Night Patrol's headquarters, it is extremely exquisite and luxurious in terms of materials, with a mineral inlaid on the outer walls that reflects a pale golden luster under sunlight.

The entire building is in a magnificent and opulent style.

Those entering and leaving this place were all noble members dressed in expensive fabrics.

As soon as Weiss entered the hall, he noticed a huge celebratory banner hanging on the wall directly opposite him.

The Starry Sky Chamber of Commerce has officially signed a cooperation agreement with Night Patrol Ice Queen.

The banner was decorated with ice-blue silk on both sides, making it look very grand and impressive.

"what......?"

Weiss raised an eyebrow slightly.

"I remember that Bingfei didn't agree to the condition of 20 bottles of level 7 potions before?"

"Could it be that the Starry Sky Chamber of Commerce has increased its investment again?"

Weiss was somewhat surprised.

He originally thought that Bingfei wouldn't pay any attention to the Starry Sky Merchant Guild.

After all, with Ice Princess's

With strength and status, there is absolutely no need to rush to accept any offer of help from any power.

Weiss strongly suspected that this might be the astrologer's scheme, purely to allow the Ice Princess to gain more benefits before the Snow Palace Trial.

As one of the eight direct guards of the Night Patrol, Bingfei already enjoys top-tier resource allocation within the Night Patrol system. Now, she has even received support from the Starry Sky Merchant Guild, the world's largest merchant guild. Shouldn't she have access to virtually any advancement resources she desires now?

"They're really hot commodities..." Weiss couldn't help but mutter to himself.

"Given this situation, no one thinks the academics still have a chance of winning, right?"

"Apart from the academics themselves..."

He immediately snapped out of his reverie and headed toward the area where potions were sold.

The vast potion-selling area was decorated in a magnificent manner.

However, in such a large area, the Starry Sky Chamber of Commerce only displayed four items.

Each vial of potion was placed in a separate crystal display case, the base of which was inlaid with a kind of lampstone that could continuously emit a soft light, illuminating the inside of the display case brilliantly and dazzlingly.

The light refracted across the surface of the medicine bottle, creating a dazzling array of colors, like liquid stars.

"This is... a Tier 6 potion..."

Even Weiss was amazed by this.

This was the first time he had ever seen a Tier 6 potion that had supposedly been out of supply for a hundred years.

Tier 6 Killing Potion - Sword Saint (One Drop)

Tier 6 Luxury Potion - Dream (One Drop)

Tier 6 Conquest Potion - Dragon Scale (One Drop)

Tier 6 Natural Potion - Winter's Breath (One Drop)

It has to be said that the Starry Sky Chamber of Commerce is quite good at riding the wave of popularity.

Aside from the currently popular young swordswoman Cassandra.

If Weiss remembers correctly, the famous Night Patrol Snow Queen is a Tier 6 Winter Sequence.

Winter's Edge and another Tier 6 Natural Sequence, the prerequisite route for the Moon Emperor, Thunderclap, are collectively known as Natural Tier 0!

—That is, the two most suitable combat pathways in the natural system.

The popularity and widespread appeal of the other three potions have remained consistently high for many years.

To put it bluntly, these four drops of Tier 6 potion are just there to be the store's prized possession. Almost no one could afford them, but they're enough to make the Starry Sky Merchant Guild put on a big show.

The marketing strategy is good.

Weiss admired the four counters for a while, then turned around and walked to the goods list display area next to him without lingering. He picked up a blank order form and started checking off items.

All level 7 potions are clearly priced, with the prices printed on a table next to the list.

Furthermore, it has almost all tier 7 full-sequence potions, including those for conquering extravagance and slaughtering nature, arranged densely, with everything imaginable, quite comprehensive.

Weiss quickly calculated in his mind.

According to all the assets that he and Aunt Bai spent the entire afternoon yesterday taking stock of, if they sold them all, they could probably buy 18 bottles of popular Tier 7 potions.

However, the "One-Armed" series is somewhat niche and less popular, unlike the highly sought-after Swordsman and Elementalist series. Naturally, the price is also lower. Converted, you should be able to buy around 19 bottles.

One bottle contains one drop.

All Tier 7 potions are dispensed by the drop.

With 19 drops, it's more than enough for me to advance to level 7 of the One-Armed One; it's practically a guaranteed promotion.

"Choosing to advance to the sequence of those with severed arms was definitely the right decision..."

"As for Storm Potion, seventy or eighty drops are impossible to accumulate no matter what."

As Weiss pondered these plans, he picked up a pen and began filling in his personal information and delivery address on the order form.

However, he had only written half of it.

My gaze inadvertently fell upon several carefully framed sample contracts displayed in the glass showcase of the counter below.

According to the above regulations, in addition to directly purchasing potions, the Starry Sky Merchant Guild also provides free potion supplies to those with exceptional talent.

—It's probably a contract similar to the one with Bingfei.

"A person of exceptional talent..."

Do I count?

"Uh, I guess so..."

Weiss felt that with his current strength, saying these words shouldn't be considered narcissistic.

He glanced at the contents.

There are a total of four signing levels listed here.

Level 1 Contract Agreement: 3 drops of Tier 7 potion will be given as a gift. The recipient must advance to Tier 7 within 5 years, or else they will need to transport goods for the Starry Sky Merchant Guild until the debt is repaid.

Level 2 Agreement: Includes 3 bottles of Tier 7 potions; only nomination is required, with no other costs. However, signing a Level 2 agreement requires a certain level of recognition and certification from various departments of the Starry Sky Chamber of Commerce.
