Their commission was suspicious.

Chen Luo didn't even discuss with the other party whether he was the Wish Star God.
"Look at what you're saying! Which star god isn't an old man to us? Do you really believe that the wishing star god is actually an 18-year-old boy?"
"..." You might not believe it, but the Wish Star God really is.
"I'm not saying anything more. This unlucky guy who didn't get the blessing of the Wish Star God is going to use the Wish Star God's blessing to live a wonderful life!" The tourist ran out like a madman.
They all looked like they were going crazy with joy.
Then, less than three seconds later, the other person ran back.
"Um, um... do you have any wishes?" the tourist asked hesitantly.
This tourist discovered that the mirror could only grant its own wish if the wish of another person was granted first.
Moreover, after looking around in the mirror, the tourist realized that none of the wishes around him met the requirements; they were all unacceptable red crosses, except for Chen Luo's.
"See the fountain over there?" Chen Luo asked, pointing to the Sulda fountain next to them.
"Oh, you want to drink Sorida, right? I can go buy it for you!" the tourist said.
Meanwhile, tourists also observed the mirror in their hands to see if there was any reaction.
“No, what I meant was, go jump into that fountain, calm down in there for a minute, and then come out,” Chen Luo said.
"Huh? Are you sick?" the tourist exclaimed after a moment of surprise.
"I just think you're getting a little too excited," Chen Luo said.
Chen Luo was telling the truth.
"1 credits, to make a wish," the tourist said.
"You can't buy wishes with credits. At least that's how it is for me."
“That means you don’t have enough credits… 10 credits!” the tourist continued.
Those who can enter the Pinocchio Dreamland are generally not short of money, except for those who have gone bankrupt to pursue their future at Pinocchio.
"..." Chen Luo shook his head.
"Do you think your wish is unique? Don't think I can only grant your wish!" The tourist left angrily.
Chen Luo followed behind the other person, watching them circle the large square several times before glaring at Chen Luo and jumping into the Sulda Fountain.
This tourist also encountered other wishes, but those wishes were even more "excessive" than Chen Luo's.
That person even wanted the "blessing of the Star God" in his hand.
That's all...
In the vast Pinocchio complex, not a single superfluous, reasonable wish could be found.
Some people dream of getting rich overnight, some dream of gaining both fame and fortune, some dream of having a huge harem, and some even dream of becoming a star god...
So... isn't it just jumping in a fountain?
Jump then!
"Sigh, as expected, compared to the positive benefits, these wish-granting tokens will inevitably bring chaos first. And once a person obtains unimaginable power, they will inevitably lose control as well," Chen Luo said, shaking his head.
Fortunately, with the help of the family and adventurers in the park, the chaos was brought under control.
That unfamiliar tourist was just a microcosm.
It is a microcosm of the countless tourists who have obtained wish tokens.
No one who obtains the token will think about honestly helping others gain the power of their wishes. Instead, they will think about or take action to find bugs and exploit loopholes to gain the power of their wishes.
As the esteemed Wishing Star God's Envoy, why should I grant wishes to ordinary people like you?
A mirror reflects the myriad aspects of life.
It was as if this mirror was the dividing line between two different classes.
But Chen Luo's idea for distributing this mirror was completely different.
"Oh no, now I'm an outcast," Chen Luo sighed.
"Isn't being an outcast good? Outcasts have things that only outcasts can have. Besides, Lolo, you're not an outcast, you're just... naive." Alicia's voice suddenly rang in Chen Luo's ear.
"Innocence? What can you gain from innocence?" Chen Luo asked, looking at Alicia, who had been following him since earlier.
“For example… a girl named Alicia who likes innocent boys. How about that? Is this unique reward enough?” Alicia cupped Chen Luo’s face in her hands and blinked.
"If that's not enough... how about we call Dr. Möbius over too?"
Chapter 2275 Qingque: Little Xuanzi (Fu Xuan), carry me out of the palace!
While Chen Luo was following the tourist around, Alicia accidentally discovered Chen Luo and had been following him ever since. She probably understood what Chen Luo was thinking, which is why she made her grand entrance.
"Cough cough, there are still so many people here. Saying these things in public makes my heart ache a little," Chen Luo coughed twice before reminding Alicia.
"Shouldn't it be a racing heart? You've described a perfectly normal feeling of being moved as if the sky were falling." Alicia rolled her eyes at Chen Luo.
"So what brings you here?" Chen Luo asked.
“Knowing that the family members would be distributing wish tokens today, I came to see if anything unexpected would happen. I sensed you were nearby, so I followed you,” Alicia said.
Alicia became the primordial goddess of the real world, a gift from Chen Luo. At that time, Alicia possessed two great artifacts: a scepter and a flower crown.
Because the flower crown was given to Chen Luo by Alicia, and both of these artifacts are closely connected to Alicia, Alicia can sense where Chen Luo is.
"I came to check on things because I was worried about this too. It seems that although there was some chaos at the beginning, it's still under control." Chen Luo looked around, observing the differences between the tourists who had obtained the Wish Token and those who hadn't.
The problem is not scarcity, but inequality; this has been true since ancient times.
Although Chen Luo currently has enough Wish Tokens to give every Pinocone tourist one, he doesn't want to give one to everyone in the Starry Sky Railway World and the Dimensional Sea in the future, so he wants to see what happens when a small number of Wish Token holders encounter a large number of non-holders.
It is the envy, jealousy, or even resentment of those who do not possess the token that makes them unwilling to issue a request to fulfill the other party's wish.
The reason why the token holders can benefit from helping non-holders fulfill their wishes is that the two sides coexist peacefully, with one side providing the wish and the other providing the assistance.
However, it seems that the former is more common under the current circumstances.
Although the way wish tokens accumulate the power of wishes is to fulfill the reasonable wishes of others, so that those who hold the tokens can also benefit, people would rather be the one who gains the initiative by acquiring the token than passively having their wishes fulfilled and paying some reward.
Just as Yukari Yakumo said, there are countless people in the world with wishes, but only Chen Luo can fulfill them. Therefore, it is inevitable that those with wishes will beg Chen Luo to help them realize their desires.
After all, it doesn't matter whose wish Chen Luo fulfills, right?
The ecological development of Pinocchio alone is fascinating enough.
First, those who received the token were happy, while those who didn't were disappointed. Then, those who didn't receive the token distanced themselves from the recipient in order to prevent them from obtaining the power of their wishes, and were unwilling to issue requests to them.
Only after both parties realized that this was the result of maximizing losses did they reach a certain degree of reconciliation.
But the one who gets their wish fulfilled is thinking about how to annoy the other person while doing so.
The person whose wish was granted is thinking about how to trick the other person out of the wish token, which is a keepsake.
The person whose wish was granted, upon seeing the other's wish reflected in the mirror, became wary but remained silent, intending to obtain the power of the wish first...
"Humans are really too strange," Chen Luo remarked.
"Humans are such strange creatures, don't you understand that, you're human? But don't just focus on the bad, look at the good too." After Alicia finished speaking, she manually turned Chen Luo's head to the other side.
Admittedly, the wish tokens did initially make a mess of Pinocchio due to human nature, but this mess was limited, and many more people benefited from it.
For example, an elderly person whose body is broken and can only spend the rest of their life in a life support pod due to war may choose to settle in Pinocchio. However, with the combined help of some token holders who have accumulated some wish power by completing one or two commissions, the wish power can be used to help the elderly person recover from their physical injuries, allowing them to leave this dream world and return to the real world before they die of old age.
Although the format of completing tasks in a team felt unfamiliar to Chen Luo, the result was indeed gratifying.
Even if those who possess the tokens only want to divide up the old man's power of wishes, what is the power of wishes worth to the person who made the wish?
Although the combined power of the wishes of those newcomers was not enough to fully restore the old man's health, it was enough for him to last until he could see the new wish-granters with even more power again.
While it may not grant the other person immortality, it is certainly possible to ensure they live to a ripe old age and die peacefully.
Countless wishes are fulfilled through the flow of the power of desire.
"Although I can provide the most perfect treatment for that old man, there is only one of me. If he doesn't meet the other person, all my abilities are in vain. From this perspective, it's a good thing to have countless wish fulfillers help me realize my wishes," Chen Luo nodded and said.
Chen Luo wouldn't dare call himself a selfless philanthropist; otherwise, he could have spent several thousand yuan to wish everyone in the entire Bengtie world happiness and health.
But the world cannot be saved, and the raw stones are finite.
Fortunately, Chen Luo's talent never demanded that he become a certain kind of person; it simply gave him the choice to help others fulfill their wishes.
The premise that enables Chen Luo to continuously help fulfill wishes is that Chen Luo can receive positive feedback, just like the raw stone.
When placed on the holder of these tokens, they become the power of wishes.
Positive feedback is very important. Whether people can persevere in completing a task often depends on whether they receive enough positive feedback.
However, just because Chen Luo has a bottom line doesn't mean that every token holder has one.
Therefore, Chen Luo required them to only fulfill reasonable wishes and block all the loopholes and shortcuts the other party wanted to find.
Chen Luo never intended for everyone to become kind. In Chen Luo's view, whether or not people are kind at the moment is not important. What is important is whether there are people in urgent need of being saved who are being saved.
Even a great villain who wants to obtain the power of wishes has to honestly help the most ordinary people fulfill their wishes.
“However, I’m a little worried. If their efforts are not proportional to the rewards, will they still be willing to help others fulfill their wishes?” Alicia asked with some concern.
Like that old man just now, helping him regain a certain level of physical health requires the power of wishes, but if the power of wishes obtained from him is not enough to make up for the power of wishes expended, are these people really willing to help?
"Theoretically speaking, the amount of wish power a person can provide is directly proportional to the other person's current predicament. However... what you said makes sense. So I'm considering whether to set up a system where if someone asks for help but doesn't offer assistance when their own circumstances allow, their reputation points will be deducted, and once those reputation points are depleted, the token will disappear."
"Lolo, are you serious?" Alicia looked at Chen Luo in surprise.
Alicia actually agrees with Chen Luo's system, but she immediately sees its huge flaws.
"I know this system has many loopholes, such as people feeling morally blackmailed and developing a rebellious mentality. However, the purpose of spreading these tokens is to help more people. I don't mind that they are trying to earn wish power out of self-interest, because that's normal, and that's what normal people think. But if they don't help when someone asks for help in a critical moment, then what's the point of them holding onto these tokens? Are they just going to let them rot in their hands?"
Just like the moral imperative that Chen Luo received, if Chen Luo does something immoral, they will leave him. Did Chen Luo say anything?
Chen Luo would only find it reasonable, because the moral law is so effective that it is indeed not suitable to be in the hands of immoral people.
Moreover, Chen Luo's moral imperatives were drawn from a random reward, but their mirrors were distributed by Chen Luo for free, which is the key point.
Chen Luo didn't make any money from them, so there's no question of him being responsible or not.
If you don't do it, plenty of others will.
Because being able to gain the power of wishes by helping others fulfill their wishes is itself a talent that is at least SS-level.
"However, simple punishment is not advisable. Credit scores can also be used in other ways. For example, when fulfilling a wish, a high credit score can draw extra wish power to help in an emergency. It's like... loan limits."
"...How about you rename the star god in the sky, Lolo, to the Wish Business Star God?" Alicia looked up and pointed to the star god in the sky.
"Inspiration doesn't care about its source. As long as it works, that's fine. Yukari Yakumo is right, I'm just too concerned about saving face. They've taken all the power of the Wish Star God for free, and they still have the nerve not to do any work? There are so many [Crowds], if some people don't do it, more people will. Why should I care so much about other people's feelings? Besides, the compensation I'm offering isn't low either." Chen Luo crossed his arms.
Yesterday, Chen Luo added a free ride offer for token holders on the group network. In addition, the park can provide token holders with many conveniences and discounts, and if they don't have enough money, they can pay directly with their wish power.
[Exactly! If they don't want to do it, they should shut up! They're being too polite! Anyway, they can't beat the Wish Star God.]
"..."
The same meaning, when spoken by a user-friendly plugin, sounds just like that of a capitalist.
However, the Wish Star God is indeed an anomaly among the Star Gods; the other Star Gods have never glanced at so many ordinary people.
[It would be better to replace it with the Dimensional Sea, because the people of the Dimensional Sea are constantly being beaten down by it, so they know how precious this thing is.]
The power of wishes can replace the crystallization of the soul and alleviate wear and tear; for this reason alone, this mirror is precious enough.
If you add the power of wishing to bless your adventures, making your journey in the Dimensional Sea a bit more fortunate, the effect would be enough to drive all adventurers in the Dimensional Sea crazy.
"Sure enough, as long as I abandon morality, no one can restrain me. Very good, let's do it this way, add a credit score system! Take it or leave it!" Chen Luo said.
Being too considerate of others is also a problem.
For example, consider a scenario where the holder of a token encounters someone asking for help, the person's wish is reasonable, and the holder is able to help but chooses not to due to the power of that wish. If not helping results in a deduction of reputation points, wouldn't that seem like moral blackmail?
But from another perspective, the power of wishes, as a universal energy source, can be easily obtained from daily life, as convenient as getting something for free. To enjoy this convenience, one should naturally have to give something in return for it to be fair.
It's true that businessmen pursue profit, but the Wish Star God is not a businessman.
"This isn't just immoral, it's too moral," Alicia retorted.
"That's not the point. The point is that once you stop trying to see things from other people's perspectives, things become much easier," Chen Luo said.
"I can see that. The child is almost ruined by his self-discipline." Alicia touched Chen Luo's forehead.
Although Alicia really liked Chen Luo, she also didn't quite understand how he could still be so enthusiastic about the world after completing nearly a thousand commissions and witnessing all walks of life in the three years before his talent awakened.
