Ning An's Wild Wish System

If they were like in the novels, with Nascent Souls everywhere and Divinity Transformations as common as dogs, they wouldn’t be so stifled. They’d just bulldoze through everything!

Any little ghost that dares to pop out, we’ll scatter his ancestor’s ashes to the wind!

The moonlight was deep, and the journey was silent.

When they were about to reach Y City, Zhang Xingmin came back to his senses and turned his head to say, ”Please rest assured, Daoist Masters, I will report your intervention truthfully to the higher-ups to get you the best possible reward!”

”Hah, someone has already paid on your behalf.”

Ning An shook his head and said, ”It’s not far from Z City here. If similar problems arise and you can’t handle them, just come to Changchun Temple and find me.”

”Alright, alright, many thanks to you, Daoist Master.”

This wasn’t just a courtesy; after all, the country had given him such great benefits at Changchun Temple, but he hadn’t solved the problem, which indeed made him feel ashamed.

At least tomorrow, during the relocation of Enjiang Town, the senior and junior siblings must stand by as backup, just in case.

”Master, can we stop by Star River Snack City? I want to eat Y City’s fish patties.”

”How good can the food at the snack city be? It’s all just to fool outsiders like you. I know a place that’s particularly good. Want to try it?”

”Yes, absolutely, I must try!”

...

To the north of Enjiang Town, not far away from the mountain peak, is also the only vantage point in the vicinity.

Ning An put down the binoculars, watching the comings and goings of cars and the bustling crowd, and couldn’t help but frown slightly, ”How are your leaders managing this, how can it be so chaotic?”

”Hah, probably not by giving gifts to those above.”

Zhang Xingmin stood numbly behind Ning An, having heard such comments countless times, he has transitioned from initial nervousness to being able to joke about it now.

Pointing a few directions around with his hand, he explained, ”Relocation work generally considers the principle of proximity. We’ve planned to settle some of the villagers in the surrounding towns, enough for about two thousand households. The remaining seven thousand households can be partially accommodated in Y City, and the rest dispersed among nearby counties.”

”Most of these over nine thousand households belong to the same clan. Are they going to agree to be divided like this?” Ning An asked in surprise.

”Naturally, they didn’t agree at first. After all, we can’t exactly explain that their ancestral hall is haunted; they’d be even less willing to move if they knew that.”

Zhang Xingmin bitterly smiled, ”But people always come up with solutions; whether it’s talking about seismic zones or hidden volcanoes, you can always convince them.”

”Just leveraging an information gap,” Lin Yanke chimed in.

”Benevolent lies are never deceit,” Ning An approvingly nodded.

”In fact, relocation isn’t the difficult part. Even ensuring food, clothing, and shelter is a small matter for the government. The real challenge is their employment.”

Zhang Xingmin sighed, ”Residents of Enjiang Town rely on the tourism site for their livelihood. Currently, they have savings, so moving out for a while is manageable, but as time drags on, they’ll surely become discontent and it might even cause public opinion backlash. But this situation emerged suddenly; they can’t just risk their lives for money, right?”

”Difficult, difficult, difficult...”

Ning An pondered for a bit and couldn’t think of a better solution, involuntarily smacking his lips.

The planned relocation in front of them is currently the most stable method for the short term.

Throughout history, under natural disasters and calamities, some interests will inevitably suffer losses, and that’s unavoidable.

What the Dragon Country is doing is first rescuing the people in the disaster area, gradually placating them, whether through direct financial aid or providing green channels for employment.

Giving people hope, even in dire situations, ensures that they can survive, doesn’t it?

”With such flimsy reasons, isn’t there anyone questioning it?”

Imagining herself in the situation, Lin Yanke pondered, ”That boss crashing into a non-existent studio, surely won’t be able to hide it from the townspeople. Then suddenly telling them to relocate the next day, if it were me, I wouldn’t believe in seismic zones or anything like that.”

”They have to move whether they question it or not. The government has already posted official notices; what they see, what they say, as long as it’s not online, we don’t interfere. Their agreement to move primarily hinges on the government’s promise to find them suitable jobs.”

Zhang Xingmin candidly laid out the entire plan.

Ning An mused, then asked, ”As for Spiritual Qi Revival, will you disclose it to the public?”

”Ah? I, this...”

Zhang Xingmin instantly looked distressed, hesitating without knowing how to answer.

”Got it.” Ning An snapped his fingers and changed the question, ”Then if it were you, would you want the country to disclose this information?”

”No.”

Zhang Xingmin responded quickly but added, ”Even if announced, it wouldn’t be a full disclosure, and certainly not now, likely only to targeted groups.”

Ning An and Lin Yanke understood.

This is indeed the rational attitude that Dragon Country should maintain; not disclosing Spiritual Qi Revival to the public is meant to prevent chaos.

After all, Dragon Country’s officials are just starting out and can’t suppress everything with brute force yet.

And the specific groups targeted are naturally Daoists, monks, or those born with extraordinary abilities, directly recruited by the Supernatural Bureau to become part of the government’s team.

Ning An agreed with this approach, nodding, and then asked, ”What about Quan Xiaobai?”

Zhang Xingmin didn’t hesitate, smiling, ”He’s been recruited by the military. It seems they took a liking to his zombie, as that thing is indeed quite terrifying. Who knows where he’s digging holes now?”
