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

Weiss remained motionless.

After about three seconds, he mumbled, "I'm not hungry yet, let's talk about it later."

The maid outside the door remained silent for a moment, then responded softly and left.

I don't know how much time has passed.

Weiss was awakened by the second knock on the door.

"Mr. Weiss, it's lunchtime."

Weiss opened his eyes groggily, his consciousness not yet fully returned.

Lunch?

He turned over and glanced at the light outside the window—the sunlight was shining directly down from above, illuminating the gaps in the curtains with a blinding brightness.

Okay, it really is noon.

Weiss sat up and rubbed his eyes.

He roughly recalled that he went to bed around 11 p.m. after telling Wei Xiao the joke last night, which means he slept for almost 13 hours straight.

"...This bed is poisoned; no wonder it belongs to a noble family."

While reflecting on his own experience, Weiss slowly got dressed and went to the restaurant.

He was the only one left in the restaurant.

The other two addicts had clearly finished their meal long ago; only one person's meal was laid out on the table: a roasted lamb chop, cream of mushroom soup, a few pieces of bread, and a small fruit platter.

Weiss sat down with a clear conscience and began to eat.

After drinking every last drop of the soup, Weiss felt a little dizzy after about ten minutes.

Just based on the extravagance of the food, even if they don't get selected in the end, it's still a huge win.

Just then, the butler Sebastian appeared at the restaurant entrance.

"Mr. Weiss, Miss invites the three gentlemen to the second-floor reception room for a talk."

Weiss got up and followed Sebastian up to the second floor.

When I entered the reception room, Oliver and Lorne were already sitting in their seats from yesterday.

Oliver's eye twitched slightly when he saw Weiss enter.

On the first morning of my visit to the Selene family mansion, I slept until noon.

These commoners are really ruthless...

Lorne simply smiled gently and said nothing more.

Weiss sat down in the chair.

Almost at the same moment, the door to the reception room was pushed open again.

Adele walked in.

Today she was still wearing that black women's military uniform, her long golden hair shining brightly in the afternoon light.

But unlike yesterday, she was accompanied by a maid.

The maid pushed a custom-made wheelchair.

A sleeping girl sits in a wheelchair.

Her almost transparent white hair fell to the sides of the wheelchair like melting snow, shimmering with a faint, stardust-like glimmer in the sunlight streaming in through the window.

She was fast asleep with her eyes closed, her long eyelashes casting a small shadow under her eyelids, her skin pale and translucent, and her lips a very light pink.

She wore a long white dress, her hands clasped on her knees, her chest rising and falling gently with her extremely faint breaths. The hem of the dress draped over the sides of the wheelchair, the corners embroidered with delicate crescent moon patterns in silver thread, complementing her long, silver-white hair. Bathed in the afternoon sunlight, she resembled a carefully framed classical portrait, serene and untouched by worldly dust.

The reception room fell silent instantly.

Oliver's hand holding the teacup paused noticeably. The young nobleman, who had maintained his composure and superiority all along, now let his Adam's apple bob almost imperceptibly, and the image of the girl in the wheelchair reflected in his pupils, his expression becoming much more complex.

On the other side, Lorne's eyes widened slightly, then he quickly composed himself, but there was something different in those eyes that always held a gentle smile.

Weiss himself stared at it for several seconds before looking away.

After transmigrating, he has seen beautiful girls with various art styles and different hair colors.

But this level of beauty is truly the first time I've ever seen anything like it.

This must be the most beautiful woman in Moonlit City, the second young lady of the Serenis family.

Elune Selene.

The legendary Sleeping Beauty.

Current location: Moonlit City, Upper District, Serenis Manor (Exploration progress: 12→15%)

"Holy crap!"

Weiss's eyes twitched suddenly.

This plant-like lady is really something! She gained 3% exploration points in one go. Did she just stand up and show the world the book?

Just then, Adele spoke calmly:

"This is the second young lady of our Serenenis family, my sister, Elune."

"She fell into a deep sleep two years ago and has not woken up since. This is a fact known throughout Moonlit City, and you should have heard about it as well."

She paused, then continued explaining:

“As I said yesterday, we need a transcendent with the Wind Addict pathway to help handle the family’s internal affairs. Now you should have guessed it, the person you need to help is Elune.”

Adele paused here, observing the complex expressions on the varied faces of the three people present.

Meanwhile, although Elune was paralyzed, she felt increasingly speechless.

It's no use, eldest sister.

A person addicted to drugs has abilities influenced by their own emotions. When they are calm, they bring a sense of peace to those around them and soothe their inner restlessness. Conversely, when their emotions fluctuate wildly, they only have negative effects.

You don't really think they'll maintain a positive attitude while they're alone with me, facing a person in a vegetative state who can't move, do you?

Elune simply didn't believe that this bizarre treatment method could work.

Even if they can maintain a positive attitude throughout, it's because their greed for money outweighs their temporary attraction to beauty, and they might even be determined to eat their fill every day instead of just one meal.

Therefore, these three people are either greedy for money or lustful; there is absolutely no other possibility.

Oh right, it could be that she has a dysfunction in that area or a problem with her sexual orientation.

Wouldn't that be even worse?!

moon

Elune silently prayed to herself.

In an instant, the scene in the entire room slowly appeared in her mind like an illusory surface of water.

The sixth-tier transcendent path, the Moon, possesses almost omniscient and omnipotent power, capable of not only perceiving the movements of the world but also reading minds.

In the moon's prophecy, the first thing that catches Elune's eye is the young nobleman in a blue suit, Oliver Crane.

This guy's performance was extremely poor; he couldn't even control his heavy breathing.

The greed and scheming on the surface are even more obvious.

Elune was too lazy to investigate any further.

Forget it, I doubt my older sister would even be interested in this kind of thing.

The second one—

The tall, thin young man who looked gentle and polite, Lorne.

Under the moon's perception, all his secrets were revealed.

It must be said that this man appears to be quite clean on the surface, and his inner thoughts are also very restrained and respectful. Elune reluctantly admits that he can be considered a good person.

but......

This person is boring.

As a commoner, he understood rules and restraint, and had reverence for the nobility, but that was all. Even his desires were mediocre. Rather than joining the Selenes family, this guy was more suited to being framed and displayed as a model of a "lower-town commoner" on the wall for people to admire.

Sigh, the last one...

The third one—

That simply dressed, silver-haired boy with a blank expression.

Weiss.

Elune shone the moonlight in his direction.

Chapter 7: Eating a Vegetable

Under the omens of the Elune lunar pathway.

The former nobleman named Oliver was obsessed with gold coins and power, wishing he could have the words "The Selenes family is awesome" engraved on his forehead.

Lorne, on the other hand, was so clean that no one could find fault with him. Unfortunately, he was too normal, so boring that even his inner monologues sounded like they were copied from an etiquette textbook.

Therefore, Elune didn't actually have any expectations for the third person.

Although this guy is fairly cute, his inner thoughts are nothing more than greed, lust, and erectile dysfunction. He only likes to choose one man from among many, although it is based on his own harsh standards, which does exclude all men in the world.

With that in mind, Elune shone the moonlight in the direction of Weiss.

At the same time, Weiss was also staring intently in the direction where Elune was slumped over.

This girl in a vegetative state almost perfectly embodies what true beauty is, not just in her looks, but also in her strikingly beautiful, slender yet voluptuous figure...

She sat quietly in her wheelchair, her back slightly arched back by the cushions, the skin on her neck almost translucent white, her collarbone like faintly etched lines, elegant yet delicate. It was precisely this unguarded posture that made it impossible to look away.

More importantly, from the moment he met her, the progress of the World Book had been steadily increasing, and now Weiss could confirm that his guess was correct.

In this world, the more important a character is, the greater the fluctuations in the world book.

If simply meeting someone can advance your progress, then wouldn't kissing and hugging be incredible?

"Seriously, a girl in a vegetative state plays such an important role?"

Weiss pondered to himself.

Suddenly, as if realizing something, he involuntarily looked at the forbidden object, Wei Xiao, stored in the World Book.

Unfortunately, despite the conflict between humor and morality, a very inappropriate thought suddenly popped into Weiss's mind as he looked at the vegetative state of Elune.

Okay, let's use this one for today.

Thinking of this, Wei Si silently called out Wei Xiao's name.

A crescent-shaped bookmark floats up from below the book and affixes to the front of it, seemingly listening attentively.

Immediately afterwards, Weiss silently said in his mind:

"Why was a judge acquitted after someone ate a person in a vegetative state?"

"..."

"..."

"Because he is a vegetarian."

There was no pause.

The crescent moon bookmark on the world book suddenly trembled into the fluttering of butterfly wings.

Although no real laughter was heard, it was obvious that the laughter was quite intense.

Even Weiss himself couldn't help but chuckle a few times.

He suddenly remembered that when Death Note was at its peak of popularity, many netizens felt that if they were to transmigrate into Light Yagami, they could easily slaughter L.

But actually...

Watching that Grim Reaper Ryuk laugh hysterically in front of them every day, only a person in a vegetative state could probably keep it up. If it were them, they would definitely break down and burst into laughter in the first second.

Elune: "?"

Elune: "Child, this isn't funny."
