Chapter 34: Domain: Temperance
"How do I crack open this thing..."
Matthew touched the thick coconut shell with both hands, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
However, very quickly.
His attention shifted from the coconut to the ability " Gift of Nature."
He pondered for a moment.
Matthew placed the coconut on his thigh, took out another piece of paper, and wrote, "How should I use this miraculous and strange ability?"
He stopped writing and thought for a moment.
If he were a greedy person, he would strive to maximize his benefits.
He would collect corpses through all sorts of legal or illegal channels and then bury them in his oak forest.
After that, he only needed to sit back and enjoy the fruits of others' labor.
But was that really right?
Matthew shook his head decisively.
Boundless 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?
Besides, there might be hidden dangers to this ability that he had not discovered.
Matthew didn't think that he could always enjoy the gifts without paying any price.This chapter made its debut appearance via N0v3lB1n.
His intuition told him that abusing this ability could cause a lot of problems.
Therefore, he had to be cautious.
Matthew decided to take the initiative to control the number of " gifts."
He wouldn't refuse a corpse that was delivered to him, but he wouldn't take the initiative to search for a burial object either.
..
" 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.
"Nature's gift is a gift, and I shouldn't take the initiative to demand or expect it."
He wrote these.
However...
Who could refuse the Heart of Tranquil Water?
Out of courtesy, Matthew glanced at the other two options and chose one without hesitation!
..
" You have completed the enlightenment of the Temperance Sub-Domain. Your current status: Initial Entry.
..
You have received a permanent status of 'Clear Mind'.
[Clear 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!]」
..
"This is very useful. If we're talking about desire, I am already restraining it every day!"
Matthew couldn't help but mutter.
In the next second.
A faint voice came from outside the basement.
"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?"
Matthew turned around.
Peggy was swinging her long legs against the door frame.
As she was doing that, she was still winking at Matthew.
This scene.
Matthew could only say in his heart, 'What in the...'
"What's the matter?" he asked.
"There are three big things I'm about to tell you."
Peggy became serious.
