Chapter 479 - 251: Everyone Was Moved! A Wish for First-Class Merit—Are You Courting Death?! (Part 2)
"..."
Ning An was not in a hurry because the system showed that the bike thief was at the foot of the mountain, and there were still a few hundred meters to the parking lot at the foot of the mountain.
They walked all the way down.
Soon, the view broadened suddenly, no longer limited by the mountain on one side.
Looking up, not far ahead was the parking lot at the foot of the mountain.
Officer Xiaoli’s car was parked here.
Officer Xiaoli walked inside, and as his personal cameraman, Ning An naturally followed him in without hesitation.
After all, that first-class merit was in here. If he missed any important shots later, it would be a huge loss!
However.
Just as Ning An stepped into the parking lot, in the instant when the lights from both sides intersected, there came a sound of painful groaning from inside the parking lot.
"Bro, I was wrong, I was wrong. Stop pressing so hard, it hurts, my arm is about to be useless."
Ning An walked into the parking lot, pointed the camera over, and captured Officer Xiaoli performing a standard capture move, pinning an unremarkable middle-aged man to the ground.
This middle-aged man kept grimacing in pain, clearly indicating Xiaoli was using force silently.
"Stealing a bike? With hands and feet, you could do anything else, but you chose to steal bikes, huh!"
With Officer Xiaoli’s cold snort, Ning An turned the camera towards the bicycle.
The once restless stream watchers froze the moment they saw the bike.
"A bicycle, let me see... Hey, not right! Wow, a Trek Butterfly bike!"
"The Rolls-Royce of bicycles, the Liu Yifei among beauties!!!"
"Ahhh, if I had a bike like this, I’d go out cycling with someone every day, it’s just so damn respectable!"
"Hmm? Why do I feel something off, buddy, are your plans decent?"
"Once you’re dating, what’s decent or not, asking rhetorically!"
"..."
Officer Xiaoli naturally recognized the Trek Butterfly bike.
So this couldn’t be handled as an ordinary case; a formal investigation had to be filed.
"Little Daoist, you see..."
Officer Xiaoli scratched his head awkwardly. Given the current situation, he needed to take this person back to the precinct and formally investigate him.
But it put Ning An in a bit of a fix, as he asked him to come down the mountain to capture life’s beautiful moments, only to leave halfway, feeling somewhat guilty.
"It’s fine, I understand, go ahead."
Ning An said with a smile, not at all annoyed.
After all, per the system’s indication, this bike thief was the core of the first-class merit.
It was merely a matter of time.
"Thank you for your understanding, Little Daoist."
Officer Xiaoli was a bit grateful, and before leaving, he promised: "If the Little Daoist would honor us with your presence, during the trial I can ensure apart from official reporters, only you can live stream!"
This promise was indeed significant!
For an entire trial, besides official reporters, only Ning An could live stream.
This wave of traffic could make an ordinary self-media take off, enough for a lifetime of carefree eating and drinking.
Even for big streamers, this traffic could fill them up, boosting their scale further.
Watching the car depart, Ning An felt a warmth in his heart, waved, and headed up the mountain.
The stream watchers were still immersed in the Trek Butterfly bike, unable to extricate themselves.
It wasn’t until a crisp female voice sounded that the stream watchers were brought back to reality.
"Are you the Little Daoist Ning An?"
As soon as Ning An stepped through the temple gate, two girls surrounded him.
"Yes, that’s me." Ning An nodded and then looked at them.
These two girls, probably just graduated from college, still had a touch of immaturity on their faces.
Their eyes, though lacking the foolishness of college students, still slightly sparkled.
With this, Ning An determined they were recent graduates.
"Are you here to offer incense?" Ning An took the initiative to ask politely.
"Yes, Brother Sect Leader, we are here to offer incense!"
Hearing Ning An mention his identity, the two girls were instantly excited.
Ning An smiled and nodded, then went to the incense table, picked up six sticks of incense, handed three to each, and lit them.
"Calling me Brother Sect Leader, you must be regular watchers of the live stream."
"As usual, offer your incense and make a wish in front of the incense burner, then proceed to the main hall."
The two girls took the incense, nodding vigorously.
"Okay, Brother Sect Leader."
Then, the girl on the left offered, "Nannan, you’re younger, you go first."
The girl on the right also offered, "Lulu, in college you always let me go first, I already feel bad, now it’s only right for you to go first."
Lulu smiled, pushed her forward, and gently said, "You’re younger, so listen to me, the Changchun Temple incense can only grant a similar wish once in the short term, go ahead and make your wish."
Nannan pouted and struggled, "Precisely because similar wishes can only be granted once in the short term, Sister Lulu, you should go first."
"In the dorm, you took care of me for four years, now it’s your turn."
Ning An, observing the situation, naturally stood aside, not intervening.
Similar wishes can only be granted once in Changchun Temple; this rule wasn’t made by him, but given by the system, leaving him powerless.
If these two girls chose the same wish, surely the first one to wish would have their wish granted, without a doubt.
Even if he was the Supervisor of Changchun Temple, they lit the incense here, in moments of such life-altering decisions, there’s no reason to intervene.
Ultimately, Lulu couldn’t resist lively Nannan and was reluctantly pushed to the incense burner.
"You little rascal."
Seeing she couldn’t decline, Lulu glared at Nannan, then helplessly made her wish.
Watching Lulu make the wish not with both hands together but with the ziwu salute, Ning An nodded in satisfaction.
As Lulu quietly made her wish, the system panel appeared.
[Gender: Female]
[Occupation: Employee]
[Name: Lu Lu]
[Wish: Her roommate Wang Nan, an orphan from a young age, finally graduated from college, but a few days ago, during a check-up, the doctor told me Xiao Nan was at the late stage of cancer, with little time left.
Xiao Nan’s favorite is a male artist, and I wish for that male artist to talk to her and make her remaining days more comfortable.]
[Unorthodox Fulfillment: Half an hour later, the male artist will arrive at Changchun Temple; destiny will guide him, at a glance, he’ll notice Wang Nan’s liveliness and the spiritual qi in her eyes. After chatting, he’ll discover they share common interests, developing a pen-pal relationship, with even a potential inclination towards romance!]
[Cost: Making wishes for others, cost doubles, losing her own job!]
Ning An looked at the contents on the panel, surprisingly raising his head.
He earnestly looked at the two before him, his gaze particularly sincere.
Despite their ordinary attire, they exuded a clean aura distinct from the muddied world.
Ning An’s sudden gaze made Lu Lu suddenly nervous, prompting her to quickly ask:
"Brother Sect Leader, does it mean my wish can’t come true?"
Before Ning An could speak, Wang Nan chuckled, patted her on the shoulder, and boldly said, "It’s okay, Sister Lulu, even if your wish can’t come true, there’s still me!"
"Tell me your wish, I’ll make the wish, two chances, one has to succeed!"
A friendship pure enough to evoke envy!
Ning An felt deeply moved, explaining: "Rest assured, her wish will certainly come true. It’s just that it’s rare to see sisters making wishes together, so I took an extra look."
"Hehe, now Brother Sect Leader has witnessed it."
Wang Nan cheekily smiled, then approached the incense burner and began making her wish too.
[Gender: Female]
[Occupation: Employee]
[Name: Wang Nan]
[Wish: No matter what Lulu’s wish is, it must be realized two hundred percent, and I’ll bear the cost.]
[Unorthodox Fulfillment: Half an hour later, the male artist visits the Daoist temple, captivated by Wang Nan’s presence, instantly shifting from thoughts of being pen pals to something deeper, successfully fulfilling her two hundred percent wish!
Simultaneously, Lu Lu won’t lose her job!]
[Cost: .....]
