Ning An's Wild Wish System

”Old Lin, what are you doing?”

One sentence, leaving Elder An somewhat puzzled.

Elder An’s main focus is carbon fiber, while Elder Lin is in charge of the barricade lock project.

Seemingly both research materials, but in reality, they’re worlds apart.

No matter how much breakthrough carbon fiber achieves, due to the material’s characteristics, it won’t become an option for barricade locks.

How could he be of help?

Though Elder An was extremely confused, he still pulled the other to sit down, poured a cup of tea, and jokingly teased:

”Old Lin, our research topics are different, so don’t even think about poaching my students. I’m telling you in advance, impossible.”

Elder Lin feigned anger, glaring:

”I won’t requisition any of your students this time, so put your mind at ease. Do you really think I’m a gluttonous pixiu?”

”Hehe.”

Elder An glanced at him, rolling his eyes almost to the sky.

Seeing this, Elder Lin lifted his tea cup, smiling as he said, ”Did you see the recent domestic news?”

”No.”

Elder An spat out two mouthfuls of tea in annoyance. People like them have no time to pay attention to official news.

Their own every move is the biggest official news.

”Could it be a breakthrough in drone technology?”

Elder An frowned, contemplating, then cautiously spoke.

After drinking that bowl of herbal medicine, doctors estimated he had at least five years left, so not to waste time, he hurried back to organize research and development, with no free time to focus on external changes.

Ugh!

Seeing his old friend puzzled, Elder Lin set down his tea cup, his smile instantly faded into a furrowed brow:

”It’s still about Korea, connecting with their three major barricade lock export groups to publicly halt exports to us, causing us to buy only from slightly lower quality manufacturers, with prices doubling!”

”Heartless!”

Elder An got agitated, heavily placing his tea cup down, causing the tea to splash out.

Although his main focus is carbon fiber, he knows a bit about barricade locks.

The barricade locks exported from Korea mostly come from Yingjiang.

Its possession and sale of these items are nothing but a master who has eaten too much, casually picked a piece of meat from his bowl, and threw it to his dog.

Originally, the price of barricade locks sold to Dragon Country was already three to four times higher than abroad.

Now, it’s worse.

Directly cut off the source, Dragon Country wants to buy, can only spend double the money.

And it’s the old version!

Are these hyenas crazy?

Elder An’s face was full of anger:

”These despicable creatures, want to eat two East Winds?”

Besides Japan, Elder An detests Korea the most.

No other reason.

The actions of a small country truly make one nauseous.

Seeing the first goal achieved, Elder Lin sighed, saying:

”Old brother, you know me. Now, the research progress is at the experimental stage, and the barricade lock performance does not meet international standards.”

”Just like a chess player in a game, we’ve lost this point substantially. But to not affect the overall layout, we’ll go along with it, even if it hurts.”

So?

Elder An’s anger instantly disappeared, leaning slightly back, replaced with a cautious face:

”That’s the principle, but I can’t really help, right? You can’t take carbon fiber to make barricade locks...”

Smack!

Before finishing, Elder Lin grabbed him forcefully, his eyes full of light:

”No, this task, others may not manage, but you definitely can!”

What?

Elder An was even more puzzled, pulling away the enthusiastic Elder Lin, and asked confusedly:

”Old Lin, just speak plainly. I’ll help if I can, don’t give me riddles.”

Seeing that, Elder Lin stopped being evasive, stood up, and seriously said:

”Elder An, I hope you can go to Z City again, visit Changchun Temple...”

Exactly.

This was Elder Lin’s ultimate goal today, for Elder An to personally visit Changchun Temple.

The initial plan was for Dragon Country to dispatch someone to negotiate with Ning An.

After careful consideration, it was decided to maintain friendly relations with Changchun Temple and, with this premise, strive to obtain Divine Invitation Incense.

It can be said, this is already a significant concession by Dragon Country.

”You mean the Divine Invitation Incense?”

They’re both old foxes, neither can fool the other. A quick glance, Elder An immediately understood what Elder Lin was up to.

Elder Lin gave a thumbs up:

”It still has to be you, brother, clever...”

”Stop it.” Elder An leaned on the sofa indignantly, shaking his head in refusal: ”Earlier, they said there’s no more Divine Invitation Incense. Plus, Ning An saved my life, how can I shamelessly ask?”

”They said for now there’s none, not that it’s completely gone.”

”That’s still not okay.”

Elder An changed his crossed leg position, choosing not to look at him.

Seeing Elder An refuse, Elder Lin got anxious: ”Can you bear to see our country’s hard-earned assets taken away by those cursed demons!”

Damn!

This sentence hit Elder An right in the heart.

From nothing to prosperity and stability today, Elder An, as a witness, understands the hardship too well.

On one side is his own pride, on the other is Dragon Country’s bigger picture.

A thousand words, ultimately turned into a sigh.

”You old fellow, really put me in a tight spot...”

Elder Lin couldn’t hide his joy hearing this, casually waved his hand:

”I’ll have my student check the tickets. You can go on today’s two o’clock ticket, otherwise...”

Alright, alright.

Completely treating me like a beast of burden, right!

Elder An was infuriated, gritting his teeth, waved his sleeve, and pointed to the door:

”Get out!”

”Hahaha, tomorrow’s two o’clock ticket, don’t be late, brother.”

With laughter, this matter was settled.

After Elder Lin left, Elder An slowly sat down, a gloomy expression emerging:

”Isn’t this too presumptuous... Damn Western...”

...

Ning An was still unaware of all this.

Every day, he just peacefully opened the door to welcome incense burners, tasted tea, and pondered life, feeling carefree.

But it puzzled Ning An that the number of incense burners today was noticeably fewer.

However, adhering to the principle of not thinking about what cannot be understood, Ning An naturally started his livestream.

”Brother Sect Leader, I’ve missed you so much, one day feels like three years~~”

”Exactly, without your program, I can’t sleep well.”

”Daily must-watch, Odbio’s banana, Yingjiang warehouse auction, real men’s knife forging contest, Grandmaster reading mess replied!”

”Quick, Brother Sect Leader, are there any interesting wishes today? Quickly let us enjoy.”

Glancing at the live comments, Ning An casually said, ”None today.”

Hmm!

The chatroom viewers were displeased.

”We treat you as entertainment, but you can’t treat us as fools! How is it possible there’s none!”

”Indeed, as the forest grows, all kinds of birds appear, especially wishes. Sect Leader Brother, you’ve changed, crying.”

Ning An was speechless, casually turning the camera around.

”No one came to burn incense today, where would the entertainment come from.”
