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

Isn't it just one bottle?

Chapter 44: A Brand New Forbidden Item!

Weiss looked at the illusory panel in front of him, his expression becoming increasingly strange.

1. Natural System Tier 7 Sequence, Advanced Potion for the Climatologist Path (One drop; due to less than a year since the last potion, there is a risk of death after drinking it).

A drop? What does that mean?

Weiss remembered that the last time he drank a potion, he drank the whole bottle. How could there be even a single drop left?

Putting aside the risk of death, can this level of dosage really achieve the desired advanced effect?

So Weiss skipped that option and looked at the options below.

2. A random, unclaimed forbidden item must be numbered within the top 1000 and must fit its own path.

3. A random, unclaimed forbidden item must be numbered within the top 800.

4. Lifespan: 50 years

5. Dark Realm Level 3 Map

Lifespan of 50 years...

This time, the lifespan granted has increased again, with an extremely incredible range, but Weiss definitely won't choose it.

He's only 17 years old this year, far from the age of dying of old age.

As for the map to the Underworld, Weiss would never consider it. Unless a knife was held to his throat, he would never voluntarily enter the Underworld to seek death.

"Looks like I'll have to choose from the first three options this time..."

"Let's ask Aunt Bai tomorrow before deciding."

Speaking of which, Weiss had vaguely heard rumors from his coworkers at the spice shop that 7th-tier superhumans were quite special.

But they were just ordinary people, with no chance to learn the real truth, and they didn't know how the 7th-tier potion differed from the ones they had taken before.

Just in case, Weiss put the World Book selection page in the background and left it there for the time being.

Meanwhile, the woman in a vegetative state lying next to them was slightly displeased.

What's going on...?

This is happening again; the moon is no longer visible.

Even when Weiss is daydreaming or in heat, she can easily read his thoughts.

But strangely enough, whenever Weiss seemed to be thinking about serious matters, her lunar powers seemed to be obscured by a fog.

Apart from Aunt Bai.

Only Vis can occasionally block the moon...

noon the next day.

Weiss changed his clothes and slowly went downstairs to have lunch.

Sleeping until noon has always been his habit.

However, just as Weiss reached the top of the stairs, he heard a soft sobbing sound.

"Waaaaah... Aunt Bai, you have to stand up for me!!"

"Those nobles are really going too far, bullying us with their power. I'm being driven to the brink of despair by them. Aunt Bai, you held me when I was born, you wouldn't just stand by and watch me get blacklisted, would you?!"

Upon hearing that familiar voice, Weiss paused slightly.

Vera?

Why did she come to Selene's house so early in the morning?

Weiss walked into the living room with some confusion.

The masked girl with pink curly hair was holding Aunt Bai in the air with a sorrowful expression on her face, tears streaming down her face.

Aunt Bai tried to break free with great disgust, but was held firmly by the other person's hands and couldn't get down at all.

So, she could only look at Weiss with a pleading, helpless gaze.

"Weiss, it seems this child has been bullied by some noble family, and unfortunately Adele isn't here, so there's no one in charge of the household right now."

"How about you go with her?"

Weiss: I haven't eaten yet...

Even so, seeing Vera's aggrieved expression, he reluctantly agreed.

After all, she's Elune's best friend; it wouldn't be right to just stand by and watch her die.

Soon, under Aunt Bai's watchful gaze, she visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

Vess led Vera into the carriage.

A carriage bearing the Selenes family crest slowly made its way through the streets of the Upper Town.

Inside the luxurious carriage, Vera rested her chin on one hand and absentmindedly fiddled with her pink curly hair with the other, still looking somewhat sullen.

Weiss sat opposite the pink-haired girl, staring blankly at the scenery outside the window.

As a climatologist, he has a keen sense of weather changes.

The scattered water vapor was slowly gathering above Moonlit City.

"It might rain tonight..."

"We should return as soon as possible after we finish our business."

Weiss couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation.

This is a good opportunity to try out the trick I've been thinking of.

Just then, Weiss suddenly remembered that he had forgotten to ask Aunt Bai all day, but...

Since Vera is also in the Upper City, she must know something about the Extraordinary System, right?

So Weiss asked tentatively:

"Vera, do you know how an 8th-tier superhuman can advance to a 7th-tier superhuman?"

"Why do I see people selling it by the few drops?"

Upon hearing this, Vera's somewhat sullen expression faltered slightly.

She blinked and turned her head in confusion: "Weiss, do you really not know?"

The way he looked at Martians...

Weiss nodded, somewhat embarrassed.

Vera hesitated for a moment, then explained:

"Level 7 potions are made by the drop."

"Isn't that basic common sense?"

"Compared to ordinary humans, 7th-tier transcendents have essentially entered the realm of gods, capable of soaring through the heavens and diving into the earth, and are omnipotent. Therefore, the potions they use are exceptionally potent and can only be consumed drop by drop."

"It usually takes 8 to 10 doses to fully absorb the potion. Only after completely digesting the potion can one successfully advance to the 7th rank. However, the digestion time varies from person to person depending on their talent and affinity."

At this point, Vera added, "If you chug a whole bottle in one go, you'll definitely become a giant!"

"Oh......"

Upon hearing Vera's words, Weiss immediately rejected option one.

Fortunately, he didn't rush to exchange it last night.

It's obvious that I'm not yet at the level where I can drink a level 7 potion, otherwise the World Book wouldn't have given me a death warning.

In this way, Weiss can directly choose between options 2 and 3.

2. A random, unclaimed forbidden item must be numbered within the top 1000 and must fit its own path.

3. A random, unclaimed forbidden item must be numbered within the top 800.

Weiss isn't the kind of person who enjoys gambling.

While the forbidden items drawn from option 3 are likely to be rarer, there are still quite a few functional items like the glass slipper.

In comparison, option 2, which directly specifies the term, is more cost-effective.

Select option 2

Drawing unclaimed forbidden items numbered 1000 or less...

A new, uncontained forbidden object has been acquired and automatically added to the World Book's encyclopedia.

Wind Garment (Item No. 810)

The Garment of Wind, a robe composed of mimicking storms, can completely conceal one's appearance and aura, to some extent hindering the detection of extravagant sorcerers and cutting off the senses of most extraordinary individuals.

No containment conditions required, but with a side effect: after each use, the user's presence will slightly decrease.

"Number 810......"

"This should count as a withdrawal!"

Although it was a defensive type, the number was too high, so Weiss had no complaints.

Keep in mind that Wei Xiaodu is only ranked around 1400.

This Wind Garment has skipped several numbers.

Moreover, the side effects are negligible.

After putting the Wind Robe into the World Book, Weiss glanced at Vera again.

"Speaking of which, what happened to you? I heard that some noble family wants to blacklist you. What's going on?!"

"Ugh, I don't even want to talk about it. It makes me so angry. I don't know which powerful aristocratic family used their influence to forcefully suppress me, giving my recently popular novel a negative label, and no matter how much I protested, nobody cared."

"There's nothing we ordinary people can do; it's just so heartbreaking and helpless against these damn rich people!!"

"Uh, I wasn't talking about the Selenes family—"

Vera said she didn't want to talk about it, but she actually started complaining non-stop.

Weiss's expression grew increasingly strange.

Could this guy be the author of "The Tragedy of the Moon"...?

This green-haired turtle.

Do you even know that I personally banned you?!

Sure enough, as the carriage stopped near the Moonlight Bookstore, Weiss's eyes twitched slightly.

-

-

A few hours later.

When the two of them came out of the bookstore.

The sky over Moonlit City was gradually turning a dusky yellow, and layers of dark clouds piled up at the edge of the horizon, making the air humid.

It looks like it's about to rain heavily.

Weiss sighed and lowered his head, somewhat afraid to think about the strange looks the shop assistants had given him earlier.

It's just too ridiculous.

"Brother Weiss, I am extremely grateful!"

Fortunately, Vera didn't notice anything and bowed repeatedly with a grateful expression.

Weiss nodded calmly, planning to go home and immediately tell Elune on Vera's cuckoldry.

"Let's go back quickly, it's going to rain..."

Just as Weiss lifted the curtain of the carriage, he heard more than a dozen hurried footsteps overhead.
