Their commission was suspicious.

What do you want?

"I want to win every time I gamble!" Stacy, thinking Chen Luo was considering how to make her wish come true, quickly voiced her desire.

"...How about something else? Like a fulfilling life? A happy family?" Chen Luo asked.

As the holder of the power of wishes, how could Chen Luo not see her desire? Chen Luo just wanted to give her some advice.

"Change to another one? Why change to another one? What's the use of a happy life? It still won't bring in a lot of money. Or can you make me a very rich and happy life?" Hearing Chen Luo's words, Stacy's attitude turned sour again.

"...If you can quit gambling, I can make you rich. For example, I'll give you these two things." Chen Luo took out two triangular wish mirrors.

Two wish mirrors: one can be given to your parents, and the other can be kept to help others fulfill their wishes and achieve a prosperous life.

You can keep one for yourself and sell the other one for a good price.

The Wishing Mirror, as anyone with eyes can see, is a golden hen that lays golden eggs.

The only price is that the golden hen will only lay eggs if you put in the work.

"What? I thought you were going to give me a lot of money. Everyone has a mirror, right?" Stacy said disdainfully.

"You don't seem to have that."

“Who said I don’t have any left? I… originally did have some, but I just gave it away,” Stacy said stubbornly.

"So, should we exchange them? We'll trade our gambling addiction for these two mirrors. Under the blessing of the Star God of Wishes, no contract can be broken," Chen Luo said.

Once the mirror is given away, someone will use it to fulfill their wish, so the Star God will never lose out on Chen Luo's wish.

"...Never mind then. But how about we make a bet?"

"..." Chen Luo looked at the other party, then put away the two mirrors.

Hopeless.

This person isn't poor; he's simply addicted to gambling.

However, due to her gambling addiction, she is now indeed penniless.

"As expected, the Wish God is an incomprehensible madman. What does 'reasonable wish' mean? Aren't they all wishes? What's unreasonable about my wish? I just want good luck and to win every time I gamble!" Stacy said.

“The Star God of Wishes will only provide you with what you need, not everything you require.” Chen Luo shook his head.

“Ha, just empty hypocrisy. In my opinion, Ciyu Pawnshop is far superior to you. I’m going to Ciyu Pawnshop right now, betting everything!” Stacy said excitedly.

"..."

"Speechless now, aren't you? What kind of Wish God is this? He can't even grant such a simple wish."

"Has the brief meeting ended? Has that Jade Lady resumed her old business on this airship? Has Ciyu Pawnshop reopened as a result?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Fine, since you can't grant my wish, then stop blocking my way. If you wish-granters aren't willing to grant my wish, there are plenty of others who are!"

……Bar?

Stacy wasn't entirely sure if Ciyu Pawning would fulfill her wish, but she was willing to take the gamble.

"Hmm, why are you following me?" Stacy asked after taking a few steps and noticing Chen Luo following behind her.

"I'll go with you to Ciyu Pawnshop and see how they fulfill your wish," Chen Luo said.

Chapter 2290 Chen Luo: Ms. Jade, you don't want to see [Ciyu Pawnshop] go bankrupt, do you?

"Welcome to the Ciyu Pawnshop Huichangshi Branch. How should I address this lady?"

"Just call me Stacy."

"So, Miss Stacy, what do you want? And what are you willing to give up for it?" When Chen Luo followed Stacy into the Jadeite Room of "Lady Ciyu," she asked him quite gently.

"Ms. Ciyu" is one of the public names for Jade. Getting to Ms. Ciyu's room is quite easy, as she doesn't close the door at all, and there are even family servants to guide you to the location.

“I…I want to have incredible luck!” Stacy said.

“Oh, so you mean good luck in which aspect? Is it career luck or…” Jade raised an eyebrow.

“I always win when I gamble!” Stacy said.

"So it's about luck in gambling? Okay, then, Ms. Stacy, what can you offer in return?"

“I’m willing to risk everything for this dream!” Stacy said excitedly.

"everything……"

“That’s right, everything! As expected, your Ciyu Pawnbroking is still more powerful, Ms. Ciyu. That Wish Star God and those Wish Walkers, they all refused to grant my wish, saying that my wish was unreasonable. What’s unreasonable about it? It’s always been like this, okay? Who doesn’t want to have excellent luck?” Stacy quickly flattered.

Even those who want something for nothing know how to flatter others, especially when their own desires might be fulfilled.

Or rather, every gambler can learn how to say nice things, and whether or not they can do so depends solely on whether the other party can bring them more benefits.

“You can’t just say things like that,” Emerald shook her head.

Since she ran a pawn shop, Jade naturally had a good eye for people. As soon as Stacy entered her room, she asked for incredible luck and seemed to be addicted to gambling. Jade quickly created a mental model of her.

A gambler who is addicted to gambling has nothing and no fear, so he can say whatever he wants, but jade cannot.

Although Jade did not know the extent of the Star God's power, she did know how terrifying the authority of the Envoy was, because Jade herself held 1/10 of the power to protect the Envoy.

“That’s how it is…” Stacy said softly.

“Let me think…Ms. Stacy, do you have any wealth to pledge?” Emerald asked.

“No.” Stacy shook her head.

“But, but I’m willing to mortgage anything except wealth!” Stacy quickly added.

“I see… Hmm, your intimate relationship… How about this collateral?” Emerald asked after thinking for a moment.

"Intimate relationship? This... this can be used as collateral?" Stacy was somewhat surprised.

"What? Miss Stacy, are you not satisfied with this collateral?"

“No, no, no, I meant, is this enough?” Stacy said with delight.

"..." by Chen Luo.

“Of course. As long as you are willing to give up all your intimacy, I will bestow upon you unparalleled good fortune!” Emerald nodded.

“Okay, then I’m willing to trade!” Stacy exclaimed with delight.

"Alright, you can go out now. Go and try your luck, try your incredible good fortune," Jade said politely.

"That's fantastic! I'll go try it right now!" Overwhelmed with surprise, Stacy hurriedly left Emerald's room.

“Oh, isn’t this gentleman with Miss Stacy?” Emerald asked, noticing that Chen Luo hadn’t left.

"Or do you want to pledge something as collateral? Or do you have some other wish?"

Jade didn't recognize Chen Luo, which is actually normal, because Chen Luo's cognitive impairment was continuing.

Although I had seen it once before, it was next to the Black Tower some time ago, but due to cognitive impairment, it now presents a different image to Emerald.

Raiden Mei and the others were not affected because they were considered one of their own, and the cognitive impairment did not work on them.

Hanabi was unaffected... It's a bit of a hellish joke, but Hanabi noticed that Raiden almost blew up the kitchen while making fried tofu. She recognized Raiden and Raiden Mei, and then recognized Chen Luo through them.

After all, in Huahuo's mind, only Chen Luo could make these three girls revolve around him.

Of course, this is also thanks to the fact that the cognitive impairment set up by Chen Luo was only a weak cognitive impairment, otherwise Hua Huo would not have been able to recognize it.

Chen Luo feigned cognitive impairment simply because he was afraid that his appearance would excite everyone on the airship, thus preventing him from leaving...

Aside from this drawback, the identity of the Wish Star God is actually extremely beneficial for Chen Luo in accepting commissions.

Therefore, it is not a bad thing that some people can discover Chen Luo's identity by noticing subtle clues.

“Me? I do have a wish I want to fulfill... but I’m not with that Stacy. Or rather, I’m the wish-granter she’s talking about who says her wish is unreasonable,” Chen Luo said.

Chen Luo's words made Emerald's eyes light up.

Wish Walker...

After the appearance of the Wish Star God, Emerald conducted some intelligence gathering and learned the differences between Wish Walkers, Wish Fate Walkers, and Paradise Adventurers.

The Wish Walker is the ultimate form that the latter two desire. It can exercise the authority of wishes, accumulate wish power without limit, unlock more ways to use wish power, and can even reach the strength of a Wish Commander.

“Oh, Mr. Wish Walker, what brings you to Ciyu Pawnshop?” Emerald asked.

"I just want to see where the unreasonable desires will end up if the spirit of wish fulfills only reasonable ones, what price they will pay, and what those who fulfill their wishes will gain," Chen Luo said.

"Did you figure it out?" Jade asked with great interest.

"More or less, of course, the following is just my guess... Your so-called unparalleled good fortune is nothing more than making every casino in the interstellar space remember her name, so that they won't cheat when facing her, or even let her deliberately win the prize. Since it is your request, Lady Emerald, those casinos will naturally not object, but of course they will only let her win some prizes and then kick her out. This is a common practice of casinos."

A casino may only be able to collect a certain amount of chips, but there are many casinos in the interstellar space, and little by little, they add up!

"The price she paid... all close relationships meant that her parents and siblings would cut off contact with her, and Stacy would never be able to make any real friends again."

"And your gain... Money is certainly important to a person, but when a person has endless wealth but no close relatives, wealth may fill their heart temporarily, but wealth alone will eventually create another, even bigger, void in their heart."

“When this void becomes so large that even endless wealth cannot fill it, she will eventually step into Ciyu Pawnshop again, and you will naturally be able to obtain what you may want from her,” Chen Luo said.

Jade's actions seem illogical, since Jade could easily use her wealth to buy what Stacy could have had once she had wealth...

Firstly, Jade wouldn't lower herself to the casino to get free chips, but Stacy could. Out of respect for Jade, the casino was willing to pay to avoid trouble. How much money could Stacy win by herself?

The saying "nine out of ten gambling games are scams" is no joke.

Secondly... even ordinary people's connections have their unique uses.

Dragons have their way, and rats have their burrows.

No matter what, you can always make a profit from jade.

Even if Stacy's future connections are worthless, there's still the "protection money" that Stacy helped Emerald collect from various casinos across the stars, right?

At the very least, Stacy could become Jade's "white glove," enabling Jade to collect "protection fees" from the casino and even take a share of the casino's "cake."

“A very interesting guess,” Emerald said with a smile.

"So, isn't that right?"

This was indeed Chen Luo's guess, and Chen Luo did not use his investigative abilities to check.

Because it's not worth seeing, Stacy will eventually regret it.

Because when a person has money, they naturally become more greedy and want more things, such as family affection... or at least friendship.

“Who knows?” Emerald shook her head.

Perhaps jade didn't think that far ahead, or perhaps jade wanted more...

But these things are trade secrets.

"I must say, Ciyu Pawnshop is indeed interesting," Chen Luo said.

"In your opinion, sir, after the arrival of the Wish Star God, can Ciyu Pawnshop reopen?" Emerald asked.

“Of course, just like Stacy, her wish can never be fulfilled by the Wish Walker, but you can. Similarly, the Wish Star God will also reduce your business considerably, just like… this customer right now.” Chen Luo turned to look at a Pipisi who had just opened the half-closed door and entered the Emerald Room.

“How should I address this gentleman?” Emerald asked.

This is a routine inquiry, and during the inquiry, Jade will also quickly gather intelligence through the company's intelligence network to find anything of value to the other party.

Take Stacy, for example, from earlier.

The other party's intimate relationship has its own value, which is why Jade wants this.

The moment someone steps into Ciyu Pawnshop, the company's intelligence network immediately goes into operation, providing information on jade.

Except for Chen Luo.

Jade knew from Chen Luo's introduction that he was a wish-seeker that he had no interest in revealing his information, and Jade did not try to obtain any information about Chen Luo from the intelligence network.

Businessmen must learn to assess the situation and act accordingly.

“My name is Dale,” the Pipisi man said nervously.

“What do you want, Mr. Dale? And what do you want to mortgage?” Emerald asked.

“He is…” Dale glanced at Chen Luo nervously.

“He is a wish-fulfilling person,” Emerald said directly.
