Ning An's Wild Wish System

"Even if some short-sighted person takes a liking to you, Grandpa, with your remaining savings, not to mention anything else, even eating could be a problem, right?"

"I think your assumption is problematic. Even a blind person wouldn’t fancy Grandpa! What’s there to like? His age, lack of money, or his refusal to bathe?"

"..."

Not only the chat room viewers but Ning An also found this a bit unbelievable.

Immediately, he pushed the money back, earnestly advising, "Grandpa, I think we could use this money to improve our meals. Eating delicious food and feeling joyous is a kind of enjoyment, isn’t it?"

Unexpectedly, Grandpa outright refused, glaring with anger, "What is this, young man? You open the temple to welcome guests, how can you not receive visitors? Today I will burn incense!"

Seeing no way around it, Ning An had no choice but to accept the money. Then he picked up three sticks of incense from the altar and handed them to Grandpa.

"Grandpa, first burn the incense in front of the burner, then go to the main hall to make your wish to the Ancestor Lord."

"I know, I know."

Looking at the three sticks of incense in his hand, Grandpa brightened up and immediately began to bow.

"Ancestor Lord above, if your old self has sight, look at me. I’ve been single for over sixty years, and it’s time to move on."

"I beg you, grant me a partner. I don’t ask for much, just a model’s figure, a star’s looks, preferably able to bear hardships and live through the tough life with me."

"Ideally, she can meet my needs instantly. Although I’ve never experienced the joys of intimacy, I know my own body—it’s strong and fierce!"

Upon hearing this wish, the chat room viewers were utterly dumbfounded.

"This... is this really a wish a person would make???"

"I think Grandpa is not daydreaming; he’s sleepwalking to Changchun Temple."

"Even if Grandpa had just nine hundred bucks, or even nine hundred thousand, nobody ought to dare wish like this at Changchun Temple."

"I have no objections; I just hope Brother Sect Leader can give him a hard slap to see if he’s sleepwalking."

"..."

While listening to Grandpa’s wish, Ning An was inwardly shocked, yet his expression remained calm.

As Grandpa was making his wish at the incense burner, the system panel subtly popped up.

[Gender: Male]

[Occupation: Farmer]

[Name: Wang Erniu]

[Wish: Hoping for a partner with a model’s figure, star’s looks, non-quarrelsome, who can fulfill him at critical moments.]

[Unorthodox fulfillment method: Ten minutes later, as he leaves Changchun Temple heading down the mountain, a truck full of dolls happens to pass by the junction!

One of the doll boxes wasn’t placed properly, and upon turning a corner, it skids and falls, picked up by Wang Erniu, granting him the perfect partner of his imagination!]

[Price: Due to lack of frugality and weak physical recovery, despite having several more years to live, he died within a few short months, exhausted, on the doll’s belly.]

Incredible!

Seeing the system panel’s response approach, Ning An’s mind could only echo these words.

It wasn’t that the system’s response was tricky, but rather, it was astonishingly unique.

Indeed, incredible!

When Grandpa walked out from the main hall, he eagerly approached Ning An and anxiously asked:

"Daoist Master, I’ve made my wish. When will I get my partner?"

Ning An suppressed his laughter and responded sincerely, "Rest assured, your partner is on the way, you’ll meet her once you descend the mountain."

"My partner is on the way?"

Grandpa seemed baffled, rubbing his bald head, not quite understanding: "What does it mean? Do I gain attraction on the way down, catching someone’s eye?"

"Pro...probably."

Ning An held back his laughter hard, turning a bit red, keeping his words brief to avoid laughing aloud mistakenly.

"That’s not so good then."

Grandpa furrowed his brow, muttering to himself, "Given I’m attracting attention, maybe I’ll just wait inside the temple for my partner to come over."

"Since Daoist skills are natural, as soon as my partner’s with me, I’ll fulfill my wish to the Ancestor Lord immediately, wouldn’t that be superb?"

Ning An took a deep breath and said, "Grandpa, your fate lies down the mountain, not within the temple."

"If you don’t descend the mountain and remain in Changchun Pass, you might never fulfill your wish."

Grandpa gazed at Ning An, doubtfully asking, "Really?"

"Absolutely, truer than gold!" Ning An answered adamantly.

Unless the doll truck suddenly drove up the mountain and left Grandpa one.

Otherwise, Grandpa might wait his entire life at Changchun Temple without meeting his "partner!"

"Alright!"

Grandpa pondered briefly but figured Ning An’s words made sense.

Shaking his head, before leaving he still confirmed once more:

"I’m going down now, Daoist Master, you’re sure my fate is to meet her upon descending, right?"

"Yes, rest assured as you go!"

Hearing Ning An’s confirmed answer, Grandpa finally felt satisfied and headed down the mountain.

Grandpa focused on thoughts of his partner, naturally oblivious to Ning An’s subtle expressions.

But Ning An was blushing from restraining laughter, which didn’t escape the chat room viewers’ Dharma Eyes.

"Brother Sect Leader, now that he’s gone, could you tell us how Grandpa found his partner?"

"I’m extremely curious, with just four hundred fifty bucks in Grandpa’s pocket, how could he find a partner?"

"According to his wish’s standards, even with just four hundred fifty bucks, even if it were four hundred fifty thousand... hmm, maybe it’d be enough."

"A bald sixty-year-old farmer with hardly any savings, can he really find a partner???"

"If his wish comes true, I’ll waste no words; I’ll buy a ticket today and fly straight to Changchun Temple, seeking romance."

"..."

Seeing chat room viewers incredulous, Ning An flashed a wicked smile.

"Is it that difficult? Let’s go, I’ll show you Grandpa’s partner!"

Saying so, Ning An carried the streaming gear and headed down the mountain.

Grandpa exited Changchun Temple’s gate, heading straight down the mountain.

Truth be told.

He understood that with his conditions, finding a partner was utterly improbable.

Although he previously watched videos online about wishes granted at Changchun Temple, he entirely disbelieved them.

In his view, they were no more than ordinary tricks.

His real purpose for coming to Changchun Temple wasn’t seeking a partner but seeking money, looking for money he could use!

Though he might be a farmer, he definitely had more than nine hundred thrown together over a lifetime!

Only that he spent the rest on gambling, realizing this when he had no money left, not enough to support his retirement.

Helplessly, he sought quick ways to earn, searching until he found a good method online.

That was to prove Changchun Temple’s incense fire was fake!

Successfully proven, one could receive ten thousand US Dollars!

Ten thousand US Dollars!

Wang Erniu may not know international exchange rates, but he knows US Dollars are worth more than Dragon Yuan, even if it’s ten thousand Dragon Yuan, enough for a comfortable retirement in the village!

Taking a huge step back, if the wish were realized, wouldn’t it be even better?

According to his demands, if Changchun Temple could truly deliver, he’d be elated beyond winning the lottery!

Hence, he deliberately chose an impossible wish to test at Changchun Temple!

"Just descend the mountain, and the wish comes true."

"Already about to reach the bottom of the mountain, should the wish not come true, ten thousand US Dollars are clinched, haha!"

Thinking of ten thousand US Dollars, Wang Erniu felt a rush, accelerating towards the mountain base.

What he didn’t know was, Ning An was closely trailing behind him.

"Smoothly reaching the base, wouldn’t Grandpa’s wish be invalidated?"

"Unfulfilled wishes are but natural; who would fancy him for a partner anyway!"

"That wish is downright absurd; even the Ancestor Lord would find it vexing."

"..."

With viewers expressing sentiments, Ning An steadily followed Grandpa.

Regarding viewers’ remarks, Ning An merely smiled knowingly.

You simply don’t grasp the power packed in the word system!

Nearing the base mountain, the chat room abruptly cried out:

"Whoa, what’s that?"

"What fell near Grandpa from that truck!"
