n“How do I crack open this thing…”
nMatthew touched the thick coconut shell with both hands, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
nHowever, very quickly.
nHis attention shifted from the coconut to the ability ” Gift of Nature.”
nHe pondered for a moment.
nMatthew placed the coconut on his thigh, took out another piece of paper, and wrote, “How should I use this miraculous and strange ability?”
nHe stopped writing and thought for a moment.
nIf he were a greedy person, he would strive to maximize his benefits.
nHe would collect corpses through all sorts of legal or illegal channels and then bury them in his oak forest.
nAfter that, he only needed to sit back and enjoy the fruits of others’ labor.
nBut was that really right?
nMatthew shook his head decisively.
nBoundless gifts seemed tempting, but if he did that, what difference would it make him from those people who did all kinds of evil for power?
nBesides, there might be hidden dangers to this ability that he had not discovered.
nMatthew didn’t think that he could always enjoy the gifts without paying any price.
nHis intuition told him that abusing this ability could cause a lot of problems.
nTherefore, he had to be cautious.
nMatthew decided to take the initiative to control the number of ” gifts.”
nHe wouldn’t refuse a corpse that was delivered to him, but he wouldn’t take the initiative to search for a burial object either.
n..
n” In addition, I should also control my thoughts in terms of perception. I can’t think of burying someone when I see that they have powerful abilities…This kind of greedy thinking is very dangerous. It might gradually strip away my humanity.
n“Nature’s gift is a gift, and I shouldn’t take the initiative to demand or expect it.”
nHe wrote these.
nMatthew heaved a sigh of relief.
nAt that moment, it was as if something hazy in his heart had been broken.
nHis heart was clear and refreshed.
nIn the next second.
nHe suddenly noticed that everything around him had fallen into a strange distortion.
nIn a trance.
nMatthew saw countless faces that seemed to be immersed in mercury. Some of them were happy, some were sad, some were greedy, and some were cold. It was as if there were pairs of eyes with different emotions watching him.
nHis skin was itchy from the gazes.
nJust as Matthew was about to give in.
nAll the images disappeared.
nPowerful energy was injected into his body!
n..
nYou have firmly rejected an incredible temptation in the depths of your heart. You have successfully stepped into the sub-domain of desire, ‘temperance’!
nAs a reward for stepping into the field, you can choose one of the following three abilities:
n..
n1. Heart of Tranquil Water (Your willpower is enough to resist most charms below Legendary level)
n2. Spare Power (After your mana or stamina is completely exhausted, a small portion of energy will be replenished. Amount of usage: 10)
n3. A heart without regrets (You can choose whether to seal the emotion ‘regret’. After sealing it, you will never be disturbed by this emotion)
n..
nAfter the unexpected joy.
nMatthew began to think.
nThese three options actually had their own merits.
nA heart without regrets could help a person permanently remove a relatively negative emotion, and it could also be unsealed at any time. It was flexible and easy to use.
nThere was a limit to the number of times he could use ” Spare Power “, but it could always help him in a desperate situation.
nHowever…
nWho could refuse the Heart of Tranquil Water?
nOut of courtesy, Matthew glanced at the other two options and chose one without hesitation!
n..
n” You have completed the enlightenment of the Temperance Sub-Domain. Your current status: Initial Entry.
n..
nYou have received a permanent status of ‘Clear Mind’.
nClear Mind: Every day, as long as you complete the restraint of a certain desire, you will have a clear mind for at least 1 hour. In this state, your learning efficiency will be three times that of usual!」
n..
n“This is very useful. If we’re talking about desire, I am already restraining it every day!”
nMatthew couldn’t help but mutter.
nIn the next second.
nA faint voice came from outside the basement.
n“I knew it! Matthew, I knew that you were actually restraining the urge to violate me every day. You necromancers are all the same, aren’t you?”
nMatthew turned around.
nPeggy was swinging her long legs against the door frame.
nAs she was doing that, she was still winking at Matthew.
nThis scene.
nMatthew could only say in his heart, ‘What in the…’
n“What’s the matter?” he asked.
n“There are three big things I’m about to tell you.”
nPeggy became serious.
