Their commission was suspicious.

“Yes.” Chen Luo nodded.

"..." Xing suddenly felt that becoming a wish-granter was no different from not becoming one at all.

Because merit is more valuable than the power of wishes.

Because merit can be exchanged for the Source of the World and certain skills. The former, in particular, is something that cannot be obtained through the power of wishes.

However, Xing realized something from what just happened: his attack power was high enough, but his reaction speed was not.

"Can I exchange my merits for the power of wishes?" Xing suddenly asked.

“Of course.” Chen Luo nodded.

In fact, Chen Luo opened an intranet to those adventurers in the paradise who took the first step to become wish travelers.

There are quite a few of these types of adventurers in the amusement park, numbering in the hundreds of thousands. However, compared to the total number of over 20 billion adventurers in the amusement park, this is still not enough.

Within the intranet, one can exchange for the power of wishes, which is naturally a byproduct of the essence of wishes collected from the hundreds of thousands of magic lamps that Chen Luo threw out.

Although adventurers in Paradise who have taken the first step on the Wish Walker journey can also obtain the power of wishes by completing quests, it is too slow.

Paradise coins can be exchanged for the power of wishes, let alone merit points.

However, compared to Paradise Coins, Wish Power is limited, so it's sold in limited quantities. Merit Points, on the other hand, allow for priority purchase.

“I need to go buy some wish power… By the way, Chen Luo, do you have any good items to recommend? I’ve found my attack methods are too monotonous,” Xing asked.

Xing is indeed very capable now, but only if he can actually hit the target.

Moreover, Star has far fewer defensive options than offensive ones.

Although the stars also possess the lances of the city builders, which can be used to protect their destiny, it is still not enough.

"The power of wishes. As long as you can freely use the power of wishes, it can be your sharpest spear."

"What about defensive measures?"

"It's still the power of wishes. It can be your strongest shield."

"That……"

"If you dare ask which would win if you used the sharpest spear to pierce the strongest shield, I'll smash your head in."

"Ahem, I wanted to ask how to become a true wish fulfiller? And also... who will ultimately win?"

“Becoming a Wish Walker is simple for you: just do what you’re doing. We’ve already labeled you a ‘tool,’ but as long as you keep doing the commissions, you’ll eventually become a true Wish Walker,” Chen Luo said.

However, since Xing earns raw stones, he is far behind in the use of wish power. But Xing can use the merit points he gets after completing a commission to buy wish power.

Or, once Xing's "tool person" sticker expires, Xing will naturally gain the power of wishes.

As for Xing's question, Chen Luo chose not to answer.

This issue needs to be considered from multiple perspectives, including factors such as authority priority.

Xing doesn't need to worry about those things; Xing just needs to use this power of wishing as a means of creating fantasy.

"Give me some wish power." Xing handed Chen Luo ten Paradise Gold Coins.

"Why don't you just buy it online?" Chen Luo said.

“But you have to wait in line to buy wish power on the intranet,” Xing said.

"Don't you have merits? Merits can get you skipped the queue."

"What's the difference between using merit points to buy wish power and exchanging Primogems for Mora in Genshin Impact? Besides, you definitely have wish power here," Xing said with certainty.

Buying Wish Power on the intranet requires queuing, but buying it from Chen Luo doesn't. This is something many Paradise adventurers can figure out, but they usually won't bother Chen Luo with such a small matter.

But Xing is different; Xing is standing right in front of Chen Luo now.

The Trail Blazers were so clever!

"Alright." Chen Luo put away Xing's Paradise Coins and then gave Xing a power of wish.

"Is this the physical manifestation of the power of wishes? Why does it look so familiar?" Xing carefully took the cluster of water, which was as dazzling as stars, from Chen Luo's hand.

The moment it was acquired, the power of the wish disappeared into Xing's hands.

“You’re right, because this is the power of your wish that you generated when you wanted to exchange Paradise Coins for the power of your wish. How could it not feel familiar?” Chen Luo nodded.

"...You mean you used your wish—'I want to exchange Paradise Coins for the power of wishes'—to exchange for my Paradise Coins? Isn't that just getting something for free?!"

Xing instantly understood just how overpowered the power of wishes was, because it could create something from nothing.

"No way, I actually lost out, okay? After all, these wish powers could have been exchanged for 20 Origin Stones," Chen Luo said, shaking his head.

20 Primogems are worth far more than these Wishes.

A lollipop worth the price of four little girls.

But you know what, seeing Xing's current deflated expression, Chen Luo felt that this was much more valuable than 20 raw stones.

"..." Xing was speechless.

This guy did it on purpose.

Meanwhile, someone nearby chuckled softly.

Xing turned her head and saw Huang Quan, who was putting away his smile and putting on a stern face.

Since Liu Ying didn't die, the atmosphere naturally wasn't so tense.

Xing's experience would seem absurd to anyone.

"Good, good, good, you won a smile from a beauty with 20 raw stones, huh? You've got some skills, kid." Xing pointed at Chen Luo.

"Ahem, you can't say that..."

"Gentlemen, I'm back." The black swan slowly walked over.

Black Swan left with peace of mind after seeing Chen Luo arrive, because she needed to check on the safety of Himeko and Mitsukichi.

Although there are group networks that can connect, black swans can still minimize the chance of an accident if "death" is lurking near the two individuals.

“This is… a little firefly? It looks very cute.” The black swan crouched down and looked at the firefly clinging to Xing’s leg.

Instead of answering Black Swan, Firefly shrank further behind Star.

"Miss Himeko has understood the situation and hopes that I will take Hoshino to a safe location, or we can go back to the bar. However, Miss Himeko also said that if there is time, we can investigate the matter of the Firefly first, and then meet at the Clockwork Boy statue later." Black Swan handed a memory bubble to Hoshino to read, while explaining to Huang Quan and Chen Luo.

"Do you need me to open a portal to reality for you?" Chen Luo asked.

“Xing’s mental state is still unstable. I think it’s better not to use a rough approach. Besides, while we’re evacuating, Miss Firefly can do more for us, right? There are still some traces of him around here. Before they completely disappear, we can collect them and preserve them as memories,” Black Swan said.

Although Xing was accompanied by Little Firefly, Little Firefly seemed to be very introverted and didn't know much.

"Perhaps this is the inevitability of fate. Star Core Hunter Elio is quite something." Chen Luo thought, looking at Little Firefly who couldn't openly explain her situation to Xing.

"What about you, Huang Quan? Should I just teleport you back?" Chen Luo asked.

“No need. After leaving here, I still need to explore Pinocchio’s dream world a bit more. But I’ll leave the River of Oblivion to you.” Huang Quan shook his head.

"Don't worry, I'll take good care of Wangchuan." Chen Luo nodded.

"I hope it's not the kind of care I'm imagining."

"???"

When Huang Quan said those words, Chen Luo even had a feeling that he might be killed by Huang Quan's woodcutter's knife.

"Just kidding. Hmm, maybe I'm not good at joking." Huang Quan said, looking down in thought.

The underworld, this is not funny.

But at least Huang Quan knows how to joke, which is a good sign.

However, it's unclear whether it was Chen Luo's imagination.

Huang Quan always felt a bit reserved in front of outsiders. How about... a reversal spell to liven things up?

Why don't you try to guess why Huang Quan seems a bit reserved around you in front of others? Isn't it because of that reversal spell you used?

Chapter 2239 Chen Luo: My God, Sunday is simply paradise itself!

"Oh no, Chen Luo. Something's happened! Little Firefly is in trouble." The bar door was hurriedly pushed open again.

"Why does this sentence seem so familiar?" Chen Luo tilted his head and looked at Xing, who had barged into the bar.

Some time ago, when Chen Luo was helping bar patrons forge Star Souls, Xing barged in once. Now, before he had even finished forging his own Star Soul, Xing barged in again, with almost the same reason. This almost made Chen Luo think he had entered some kind of cycle.

"So what happened this time?" Chen Luo asked.

“Look…” Xing picked up the little firefly that was following beside her.

The little firefly, held in Xing's arms, was waving its tiny fists, seemingly full of energy.

“One Memory Maker and one Gold Dust Maker? Leave now, and no one will get hurt! Otherwise, you will all die!” Firefly muttered under her breath as she waved her fist.

What happened?

"I don't know. After we parted ways, we were planning to gather some information about the Fireflies being taken to a deeper level of Pinocene. So we followed some kind of projection of the Black Swan, and at the end of the trail, we saw Sam, the Star Core Hunter, beating up some monsters from the Dream Theater Troupe."

"Then Star Core Hunter Sam said something similar to what Firefly is saying now. Just as Sam was about to grab me, Huang Quan intervened and repelled him, and then a fight broke out."

"When we were halfway through the fight, I was about to help when the black swan took me to another place, along with the little firefly next to me," Xing explained.

"So you and Black Swan sold Huang Quan out?"

“I didn’t sell it, the Black Swan did. But that’s not the point. The point is that the Black Swan brought me to the gold dust, and then the gold dust said a bunch of strange things and showed me something—Miss Robin’s corpse.”

"Oh."

"Why is your reaction so indifferent?" Xing couldn't help but ask.

"Otherwise what? Am I supposed to cry and scream? But the problem is that death doesn't exist in Pinocchio's dreams." Chen Luo wasn't surprised at all.

"Oh... Anyway, when Sand Gold gave me some more time to think about it, I noticed that Firefly seemed a bit off. After meeting Sam, she seemed to be full of violent tendencies, probably because she was corrupted by the Star Core Hunter," Star said with great concern.

"I will ignite the sea!" Firefly clenched her fist and delivered an uppercut.

"Look," he said helplessly.

"So you called me here... to solve the Little Firefly problem?"

“Of course.” Xing nodded.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

The biggest problem is the little firefly.

As for that gold dust... it doesn't matter. Although he doesn't seem like a good person, he shouldn't be a bad one either. As for the invitation to cooperate, just ignore it.

After all, Xing is still a child under one year old, so this kind of thing should be discussed with the parents.

Himeko and Welt will make the decision when the time comes.

"Okay." Chen Luo nodded somewhat reluctantly, then took out a lighter and handed it to Liu Ying, who was placed on the floor by Xing and could move freely.

"So, is this lighter some kind of tool that can absorb anger and rage and calm the holder down?" Xing guessed, drawing on his experience and the connection between lighters and flames.

Xing was certain that Chen Luo always managed to come up with some strange and unusual things, and this time would probably be no exception.

“No, this lighter can set the ocean ablaze,” Chen Luo said.

"???" Xing was stunned for a moment.

I asked you to solve the firefly problem, why did you give him this?

"No, wait, I asked you to solve the problem that the fireflies seem to want to fight, not the problem that the fireflies can't ignite the sea." But Xing quickly realized what he meant.

"Don't worry, as long as the firefly can really ignite the sea, she won't ignite the sea." Chen Luo said, giving Xing an OK sign at the same time.

"...What kind of twisted logic is that?"

"Snap!" Just as Xing was thinking that Chen Luo's handling of the situation was problematic, Liu Ying had already turned on her lighter and lit it.

"Wow!" The little firefly seemed excited and surprised when it saw the flames appear.

He certainly stopped saying things like he wanted to set the ocean ablaze.

"..." Xing couldn't help but look at Chen Lu with a questioning gaze after discovering that Chen Luo's method really worked.

Is it really useful?

"The fire from this lighter is a fire of destruction, with a slight igniting property, capable of igniting most mortal objects, including seawater."
