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

Elune was truly at her wit's end.

All we can do is secretly pray that Aunt Bai catches this guy red-handed while he's trying to steal her skills.

A short while later, the path rounded a bend, and a more open lawn area appeared ahead, with lush green grass and bright sunshine.

Weiss pushed his wheelchair to the edge of the lawn, then found the sunniest spot to lie down and began to enjoy the afternoon sun.

Elune waited for a long time but he didn't push it again.

She looked up at the moon—

But then he saw that Weiss had already fallen asleep on the grass nearby.

His posture was quite casual, with his arms behind his head and his face tilted back. The warm breeze in the garden gently blew by, occasionally lifting his silver hair.

The afternoon sun was plentiful, the scent of plants in the grass was fresh and soft, and a gentle breeze was blowing.

This guy...

Falling asleep so quickly, did you get carbon monoxide poisoning?

Serves you right, who told you to eat so much staple food at every meal?

After observing for a moment, Elune silently rolled her eyes in her mind.

She was left sitting in her wheelchair, staring blankly at the boring flowerbed in front of her.

The maid following behind her did not come over to push her back into the room.

Elune silently ranted about these two amazing people in her mind for several more rounds.

Gradually, her consciousness became hazy.

Before she knew it, Elune had fallen asleep along with her.

......

......

Several hours passed, and it was getting dark.

Elune suddenly woke up with a start.

She immediately sensed that something was wrong.

Something seems different now.

She turned her attention away from Weiss and instead focused inward to perceive the state of her own body.

It was a very subtle feeling, not obvious, even minute, but her perception of her body had been accumulated over two years, and even the smallest changes could not escape her notice.

Something is loose.

It's like a frozen river surface; in the warm wind that suddenly appeared, fine cracks began to appear on the outermost layer of the ice.

It's still a long way from being completely thawed, but the crack is real.

The date of awakening seems to have been brought forward...

Elune paused for a moment.

Then her gaze fell on the silver-haired boy sleeping soundly in the sun on the grass beside her, while the maid had disappeared somewhere to slack off.

It turns out that Aunt Bai's method really worked!

This is the ability of a drug addict...

The emotions of addicts can influence and radiate to other living things or objects, making them particularly popular in clinics and spice shops.

But this was the first time Elune had personally experienced the effects.

Unexpectedly, it actually accelerated my awakening process.

so......

It's already evening, when is this guy going to stop being so nauseous?! Is he even going to eat dinner...?

Chapter 11: 8th Order Sequence, Climatologist!!

Current location: Moonlit City, Upper District, Serenis Manor (Exploration progress: 17%)

After spending an afternoon with Elune, Whis discovered that the progress of the World Book had finally increased again.

17%.

He took a second look to make sure he wasn't mistaken.

It rose from 15% to 17%, a 2 percentage point increase in just one afternoon.

I just pushed the wheelchair around the garden for a short while, and then took a nap... and it went up by 2%?

There wasn't even any physical contact.

In the room at night, the firewood in the fireplace crackled, and the orange flames illuminated half of Weiss's face, while the other half remained in shadow. Weiss sat in a chair, his elbows propped on his knees, his eyes fixed on the system interface of the World Book.

He's just a person in a vegetative state, yet he's managed to accelerate the exploration of the entire Moonlit City. It seems the Serenis family must be involved in some secret events that I, a commoner, can't yet access.

Furthermore, according to normal people's logic and speculation, the next fate option should be available at 20%, and even the most idiotic planner would set it to a maximum of 25%.

At this rate, if I can find opportunities to stay near Elune every day, I should be able to activate the next stage in less than a week.

Weiss pondered for a moment, then made a somewhat awkward decision.

He was going to visit that comatose woman for several days in a row.

He accepted it even when the maids stared at him strangely.

So for the next few days, every afternoon, Weiss would appear in the garden right on time to bump into Elune.

He did nothing but push the wheelchair.

The maids at the mansion had discussed this matter privately several times.

At first, they thought that Weiss was trying to curry favor with them because of this deliberate act of attentiveness.

The Selenes family.

A few days later, however, the maids' opinions changed.

They realized it.

This commoner named Weiss...

They might find pushing a wheelchair quite interesting.

Indeed, those who had never competed for wheelchair pushing jobs before suddenly felt an unbearable itch when they saw Weiss leisurely pushing the wheelchair every day.

It's that urge you to suddenly grab the wheelchair and push it around, anyone know what I mean?

After all, who hasn't fought with family and friends for a shopping cart when shopping in a mall?

Oliver didn't find out about it for several days.

He was having afternoon tea in the garden when he saw Weiss pushing a wheelchair along the path toward the lawn.

A stunningly beautiful young woman, like a goddess, sat in a wheelchair, a strand of her snow-white hair gently lifted by the afternoon breeze. Today, she wore a milky-white gauze dress with a neckline trimmed with delicate white lace, which swayed slightly in the wind, like a cloud carried by the wind, resting on that simple wheelchair, looking breathtakingly beautiful.

Oliver's expression faltered slightly.

After a brief moment of shock, his eyes gradually turned red and contorted in a ferocious manner.

“Weiss…”

He muttered through gritted teeth.

This commoner from the lower city, who didn't even have a surname, had been in a lazy and nonchalant manner ever since he entered the gates of Serenes, as if he didn't care about anything.

Oliver originally thought that such lowly people were not worth paying attention to and that they would never be noticed by Lady Adele.

but now……

He tightened his grip on the teacup handle slightly.

Why would this foolish commoner try to get close to someone in such a pointless way?

Isn't pushing a wheelchair the job of a servant?

Why is he, an outsider, allowed to stand so close to Miss Elune? Can't these brain-dead maids even refuse such a request?!

Oliver slowly exhaled a breath of stale air.

I feel like I'm going crazy with jealousy.

But he was a nobleman, and it was impossible for him to imitate the behavior of this commoner, let alone compete with Weiss for credit in such a matter and put on a show for the Selenes family.

After thinking about random things for a while...

He took a deep breath and tried his best to pull his gaze away from the garden.

"Forget it, there's no need to be in such a hurry."

"Anyway, the news has already reached home, and everyone knows that I'm about to be chosen by the Selenes family. Even my father has decided to fully support me."

"In less than half a month, the potion for advancing the Wind Addict will be delivered to me."

An 8-tier progression system for wind addicts: Climatologist

All 8th-order progression magic one ∨ q billion ∷ ∝ 8 thousand 700 3 ≯ ∧ 10 liu 5 ± § 6 thousand ♀ 8 < 160 ∷ ∝ 3 group √ →

The medicines are all incredibly expensive, and even his family, the Krein family, has suffered a severe blow this time.

Two weeks later, as long as he takes this medicine, he will be able to successfully advance to Sequence 8.

And they will gain divine power to summon wind and rain!

By then, will it even matter whether a newly promoted Sequence 8 Climate Master or a low-level Sequence 9 Wind Addict is superior?

The Selenes family and Lady Adele will certainly make the wisest choice.

Thinking of this, Oliver temporarily suppressed his jealousy and hatred, snorted coldly, turned around, and walked towards the mansion with his hands behind his back.

"Commoners, enjoy these last few days you have to stay here."

"The day I successfully get promoted"

"The Selenes family will definitely kick both of you commoners out of the house!!!"

Chapter 12: Forbidden Item Number: 09

Brightmoon City, Upper District.

The night was as dark as ink, and the moonlight was mostly obscured by thin clouds, leaving only a few pale rays that barely penetrated the clouds and shone on the rows of rooftops.

The buildings in the Upper Town exude a silent majesty in the night. The carved lintels and window frames cast dark outlines under the sparse moonlight. The streets in the distance are empty and silent, with only the occasional night breeze stirring up a few fallen leaves and making a soft rustling sound.

A series of black figures moved silently between the rooftops. Dressed in uniform black military attire, they moved swiftly and stealthily, surveying the city's night sky from a height completely undetectable to ordinary residents.

The leader was a stunningly beautiful woman with radiant blonde hair.

The squad leader of the Moonlit City Night Patrol Branch.

Adele Selene stands tall, her back straight, like a golden arrow embedded in the night.

She quickly stopped, standing atop the spire of a giant clock tower, her long golden hair swaying gently in the night breeze, overlooking most of the city of Moonlit City.

Below the giant clock tower, several night patrol members stood scattered on the surrounding rooftops, each guarding different directions, and each wore a faintly glowing patrol badge.

A curfew is in effect in Moonlit City until midnight, during which all residents are prohibited from leaving their homes. Only members of the Night Patrol team wearing the Night Patrol badge are allowed to move freely within the city.

Night Patrol is an official supernatural organization that covers Moonlit City and even the entire continent.

They are responsible for suppressing evil superhumans, hunting monsters, and containing forbidden objects.

Tonight's patrol route was no different from usual. The fixed observation points in the upper city were patrolled one by one, and everything was normal.

However, just as Adele was about to order a turn to the next area, her gaze suddenly froze.

Her gaze suddenly locked onto the southwest horizon.

There, thousands of kilometers away from the border of Moonlit City, on the horizon, stood a massive silhouette that almost blended into the night.

A colossal, pitch-black tower reaching to the heavens.

Its size is so enormous that even from thousands of kilometers away, its outline can still be vaguely seen, like a black bone spur that has been forcibly pulled from the ground and pierces the sky.

Under normal circumstances, the presence of this black tower is not very noticeable; in fact, one could say that the residents of Moonlit City have become accustomed to its existence.

It has always stood there silently.
