Ning An's Wild Wish System

Chapter 45: Chapter 40: Elder An: For Myself, Ordinary Incense Is Enough

It’s done!

Ning An and Ding Yizhen exchanged glances.

At the same time.

An Xiaofu also jogged into the woodshed, looking at Ning An and tilting her head slightly, a look of surprise flashed in her eyes, she said:

”Little Daoist, where can we find paper and pen in our temple?”

Ding Yizhen was somewhat puzzled. He asked, ”Paper and pen? What do you need them for?”

An Xiaofu rolled her eyes at him, swaying slightly:

”What else could it be for? Of course, it’s because the incense worked.”

”Grandpa said he thought of a direction for a carbon fiber breakthrough, and it might even go a step further.”

By the time Ning An hurried over with paper and pen, it was already a little late.

Elder An already had a thin booklet on his knee, filled with incomprehensible scribbles.

Ning An didn’t understand the knowledge, but it didn’t stop him from seeing the unconcealed joy on Elder An’s face.

Elder An looked at the deductions in the booklet, speaking quickly in excitement, regardless of the volume:

”Xiaowang, according to my prediction, the model constructed using this... far exceeds the third generation, maybe directly entering the fourth generation!”

Looking at the elated Elder An, the viewers in the live-stream room were also happy.

”Seeing Elder An so happy makes me happy too, haha.”

”To be honest, when Elder An was verifying, I turned my head away, not for anything else, just afraid that knowledge would sneak into my head in such a deceptive way.”

”The person above, stop flattering yourself! You only figured out the gravity formula after a year in your middle school physics class. With your brain, knowledge would have to shout: ’Damn it, such bad luck!’ when entering.”

As time ticked away, the viewers in the live-stream also stopped fooling around.

Everyone was staring at Elder An, holding their breath together.

No one knew how much time passed, but finally, the typing sound over the phone ceased.

A moment later, a male voice with a trembling tone came from the phone:

”Teacher An, according to your deduction and method, the basic parameters of carbon fiber not only far exceed the third generation of the West, but also in many aspects show overwhelming advantages, fully meeting national needs...”

”Teacher An, from today onward, the carbon fiber blockade...”

”Has been completely broken!”

One stone caused a thousand ripples!

Not only did Elder An cry with joy, but the viewers in the live-stream were also in tears.

Because Elder An had the speaker on, the voice from the phone was clearly heard in the live-stream.

”Carbon fiber? Is it the one many authors fantasize about breaking Western restrictions in novels but can only rely on others for in reality?”

”Hey, you brat, when Elder An was making a wish earlier, you were too touched to listen to a single word!”

”With the carbon fiber breakthrough, whether it’s the development of the aviation industry or the upgrading and transformation of manufacturing, our Dragon Country now has room to maneuver, it’s no less significant than a medium-sized battle!”

”!!!!”

Upon hearing this, the bullet screen was in an uproar.

Many people know the significance of the carbon fiber technology breakthrough is enormous, but no specific reference point to gauge how enormous.

For netizens familiar with carbon fiber materials, they were filled with mixed emotions, fully aware of how crucial this thing is!

Not to mention anything else, even just the meaning of a breakthrough is inspiring enough.

As one of the involved, Ning An, watching the tearful Elder An, felt genuine joy too.

But now is not the time for him to be foolishly happy.

The most urgent thing for him is to quickly have Elder An make another incense wish.

Elder An’s life was already limited, and this time the joy and tears consumed much of his energy, giving a sense of being burned out.

Standing not far from Elder An.

Ning An beamed and said:

”Old man, are you happy?”

”Having fulfilled my wish, I must be happy!”

Elder An seemed to be brimming with energy, laughing uncontrollably, immediately followed by a bout of violent coughing.

His veins popped entirely, and a flush appeared on his face, but Elder An didn’t mind a bit, his voice choked with sobs:

”My last post, I completed it, I did not let everyone down...”

Whoosh!

Whether the online netizens or the temple incense burners, all watched An Ruolin cry like a child, standing in solemn respect.

Such an elderly man loving his compatriots, dedicating his life to his country.

Even in his last moments of life.

Still, the ones he first thought about were his flesh and blood compatriots, how could this not make everyone admire.

Many people’s eyes reddened as they watched.

”Grandpa.”

An Xiaofu also had red eyes and was about to step forward.

But Ning An waved her hand, stopping her.

Though living in another world, Ning An’s innate warmth was undeniable.

”Old man, there’s still a long way to go ahead, many places will still need your support, don’t say such disheartening words.”

Looking at Ning An, Elder An chuckled bitterly, then shook his head:

”A person can sense when their time is near.”

In nearing death, a person’s intuition is much more accurate than machines.

Elder An had been holding on primarily with a stubborn effort all along.

But now that his wish was fulfilled, his body instantly collapsed.

Body temperature slowly faded, consciousness gradually blurred.

At this moment, An Ruolin was almost at the crossroads between life and death.

After pausing for a moment, An Ruolin looked at Ning An and An Xiaofu, smiling somewhat brilliantly:

”To be able to meet a worldly expert like you... cough cough cough, I have no regrets...”

Before he finished his words, An Xiaofu was already in tears.

”Grandpa, what are you saying, we’re going to the hospital, right now, it will be okay...”

Yet Elder An shook his head, his eyes somewhat unfocused:

”Late-stage cancer, it’s useless, Grandpa doesn’t want to have a bunch of tubes in him when he leaves, down there they’ll laugh at me, Grandpa wants to leave with some dignity.”

Hearing this, An Xiaofu couldn’t hold back any longer, bursting into tears.

The incense burners present all bowed their heads, wiping their tears.

Viewers in the live-stream also had a pang of sadness in their hearts, eyes filled with sorrow upon hearing this.

”Is Elder An really leaving us? No, it shouldn’t be like this, damn it, you heavens!”

”I can’t believe it, it can’t be true, this must not be true!”

”Where’s Daoist Ning, get Elder An to use the Divine Invitation Incense for one more wish, no matter how much it costs, I’ll pay, I’ll pay!”

”It’s useless, these are the last three sticks of Divine Invitation Incense, and the other six were wasted by two scoundrels.”

Thinking of this, everyone felt somewhat frustrated.

The mighty ones of the nation do not get the blessings.

Yet clowns squander resources.

How pitiful!

”Old man, haven’t you wished for yourself yet?”

Ning An’s words once again drew everyone’s attention back.

”No... oh, right, look at this old man of mine, with age, my memory is failing.”

Elder An initially wanted to say it needn’t be wasted as he looked at his teary-eyed granddaughter and finally relented:

”Ah, there’s no need to use this incense, it’s truly effective, leave it for those who need it.”

As the one involved, he was all too aware of the fleeting insight’s value.

”For an old man like me, just for that kind of incense, there’s no need to waste it on me.”

Looking at the table next to the Incense Burner, Elder An pointed tremblingly at the regular sandalwood incense, his smile somewhat distorted:

”I think this incense is pretty good... matches my flickering years, it’s not too much, it’ll do.”
