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

OK......

You won.

Kid, you're amazing!

Chapter 22: Extraordinary Awakening, Power Surges!!!

In the dining room of the Selenes mansion, the long table was filled with exquisite silverware and crystal glasses, and the silver candlesticks flickered, casting shimmering light on the four walls.

The atmosphere at tonight's dinner was a little awkward.

A stunningly beautiful woman with long, golden hair sat at the head of the long table, while the butler Sebastian stood beside her, instructing the maids to serve the food.

Adele rarely has time to come back.

She rested her chin on her hands, her face gentle, and looked at the people in front of her with a smile.

At the dining table, in addition to the three invited wind addicts, Veslowen and Oliver, there was also a girl with sea-blue twin ponytails.

Neferpire was sitting next to Adele, idly poking at the food on her plate with her fork, repeatedly poking holes in the steak. The once-high-quality steak was now riddled with holes, bright red juices slowly seeping out—a somewhat gruesome sight...

From the moment she sat down, she had been glaring fiercely at the silver-haired boy opposite her.

It's practically like a top-tier cursed spirit.

Nefert couldn't afford to make a scene in front of Adele, otherwise she might have been able to hold a funeral on the spot...

So, Neferpire could only pitifully resort to bombarding her with visual attacks.

However, despite Neferpier's resentful and stalking gaze, Weiss remained calm and composed throughout, and his appetite even seemed to improve.

Seeing this, Lorne and Oliver, who were standing nearby, were both incredulous.

Could it be that Weiss did something heinous to Miss Nephie...?

Nefertir Wilderges.

The eldest daughter of the Wilderness family, one of the most prestigious noble families in Moonlit City, and an ally of the Serenenis family.

In fact, Lorne only learned about Nephiel's identity this afternoon after asking the maid.

He was immediately terrified and broke out in a cold sweat.

Thankfully, I didn't talk back.

Lorne was overjoyed.

Although they were personally invited by the Selenes family, he was still very clear about his own position. A commoner is a commoner, and even if they are extraordinary individuals, as 9th-order individuals, there is still a huge difference in their status.

This Weiss is incredibly audacious...

Lorne was still shaken.

At times, one can't help but sigh inwardly, realizing that one has never truly seen the other side hidden beneath this man's outward appearance.

Meanwhile, Oliver raised his eyebrows slightly.

He naturally noticed Nefertari's hostility towards Weiss.

Although the specifics of what happened are unknown, how could a commoner from the lower city dare to provoke the eldest daughter of the Wilderges family?

Isn't this just asking for trouble?

When it comes to ignorance, the common people are truly formidable...

A subtle sense of schadenfreude rose within Oliver. He gently rubbed his fingers together as he held the wine glass, a smile playing on his lips that he himself didn't even realize.

well.

It seems this commoner is out of the running.

Halfway through the dinner, as Nefert watched Weiss diligently eating, she grew increasingly angry.

Her lake-blue eyes darted around a few times, and as if she had come up with some mischievous idea, a meaningful smile gradually appeared on her face. Then she turned to look at Adele beside her.

"Sister Adele..."

"Mr. Weiss gave me a question today that I found quite interesting. How about we let Mr. Weiss test you too?"

"Oh? Sure..."

Adele readily agreed and looked in Weiss's direction.

The air was silent for a few seconds.

Under the curious gazes of everyone present, Weiss calmly asked Adele, "What lies between 1 and 3?"

Adele pondered for a few seconds: "It should be 'and', right?"

Nefert chuckled softly upon hearing this answer.

"Hehe, wait a minute, Adele, the answer is actually—"

"You got it right, Miss Adele! You're so smart! Amazing! You got it right on the first try!!" However, before Nefertari could finish her triumphant voice, she was interrupted by Weiss's exclamation.

Nefertory turned her head stiffly, looking incredulously at the silver-haired boy who was full of admiration. Her delicate face could hardly maintain the composure expected of a noble lady.

no......

So you really filled in the answers by hand?!

You son of a bitch, beep........

This wasn't a swear word; it was automatically muted.

After a brief moment of shock, Nefertir instinctively looked in the direction of the butler, Sebastian, wanting to see what the witness, who had heard two different answers, thought.

But Sebastian's eyes were also twitching violently.

So even the butler couldn't hold back anymore!

Half an hour later, the eerie dinner ended.

Nefertie followed closely behind Adele as they left.

Before leaving, he deliberately passed by Weiss and gave a cold snort in a volume only Weiss could hear.

Weiss didn't even lift an eyelid.

He stared blankly at the World Book floating before his eyes.

Current location: Moonlit City, Upper District (Exploration progress: 21%)

It rose by 1 points.

Although I didn't push the wheelchair at all today, the exploration level still improved slightly.

"It seems this Nefertari is quite a heavyweight..."

Weiss leaned back in his chair, looking thoughtful.

It's already this late, and Nefertir still shows no sign of going home; it seems she's planning to stay overnight.

For the next few days, I'm afraid I won't have any chance to contact Elune.

"Never mind, let's take it slow..."

-

-

The events of the following days completely proved that Weiss's judgment was correct.

In order to keep an eye on the three drug addicts, this woman, Nefertir, actually moved into the Selenes family mansion.

It's clearly not just a short stay of a few days.

She immediately ordered her servants to bring over a huge pile of clothes and daily necessities, which took up three carriages of luggage, and then she moved in next door to Elune in a grand manner.

It's clear that they've made up their minds.

She vowed to protect Elune's chastity with her life!

That's good now.

For a whole week, Weiss couldn't get his wheelchair pushed around.

However, he wasn't in a hurry at all. After all, the Selenes family was recognized by the World Book as belonging to the core area of ​​Moonlit City; it was just a matter of exchanging personal connections.

Both ≥ and — can increase the progress, thus smoothly bringing the progress to 23%.

In the stillness of the night.

The mansion's corridors had fallen completely silent, with only the candlesticks on the walls casting a faint glow.

Oliver sat alone in his room, a freshly opened package on the table in front of him, and he could clearly hear his increasingly rapid breathing.

That was given to him by the butler, Sebastian, this afternoon.

The sender of the package was the Crohn family.

That is, Oliver's family.

Oliver's hands trembled violently, his expression one of intense excitement. He peeled off layer after layer of seals, finally taking out a small, crystal-clear glass bottle from the very bottom of the package. The bottle was only the size of a thumb and contained a wisp of silvery-white liquid that swirled like morning mist.

Looking at this bottle of silver potion.

Oliver's breathing became rapid.

The 8th tier of the Natural System, an advanced potion for the Climate Master...

Even the cheapest natural potions on the market are priced exorbitantly at level 8, clearly indicating that the Crone family has suffered a significant blow this time.

This was the first time Oliver, the second son, had received such treatment.

After all, this is a marriage alliance with the Selenes family. If he is successfully selected, the connection between the two families will be closer than ever before.

In retrospect, taking those cheap potions from the Wind Addicts back then wasn't a humiliation.

It's not just a dream, it's a golden opportunity!

During this period, the entire family kept an eye on him.

Everyone is watching him, placing enormous expectations on him!

I must succeed!!!

Oliver didn't hesitate for long.

He pulled out the cork, tilted his head back, and gulped it down.

At first, he didn't feel any change, but in his anxiety about the loss of the drug's effects, Oliver simply swallowed the bottle as well. The glass bottle slowly descended into his esophagus, grinding against him with every inch of its contents, making his face contort in agony.

Voice: Awesome

Trachea: Awesome

Throat: Awesome

Stomach: Awesome

Anus: Curiosity

Gradually, Oliver, who was choking so badly he was almost suffocating, finally sensed a change.

His blood began to explode and spread throughout his body. It felt as if countless streams of energy were rushing wildly beneath his skin. His bones trembled, his muscles tensed, and his heart felt as if it had been gripped tightly by an invisible hand before being suddenly released.

He couldn't help but let out an alluring groan.

After a brief period of dizziness...

The whole world became quiet.

When Oliver opened his eyes again, the world before him had changed dramatically.

He could clearly feel every movement of air in the room, every pattern of the night wind outside the window, and even the breathing frequency of the maids in the next room could be clearly detected by the vibration of the wind.

Besides.

A pure, abundant, and seemingly inexhaustible power surged through my body.

Compared to the previous path of drug addiction, it's worlds apart, completely on a different level.

Oliver instinctively opened his arms.

Two visible, solidified whirlwinds surged within his palms, eventually coalescing at his fingertips and roaring wildly.
