Ning An's Wild Wish System

Ning An remained silent for a long time.

”Elder Shi, I agree with most of your views, but on one point, I want to first view a gentleman’s stomach with a villain’s heart.”

Picking up the Solvent Pillar beside him, Ning An’s lips curled into a half-smile as he said:

”This Solvent Pillar is not just an ordinary stone as that old brother mentioned earlier. If nothing unexpected happens, it will become an indispensable part of future cultivation.”

Elder Shi’s eyes widened, but Ning An did not give him a chance to speak, and he sighed:

”You hope for everyone in Dragon Country to be like dragons, and I admire that, but can you guarantee that the plan you just mentioned will be approved by those above, and if approved, to what extent?”

Version updates, exploring the rules of a new version is naturally necessary.

The world rules have undergone a subversive change. Finding ways to understand, accept, and smoothly integrate into the larger environment is the job of the order system.

But resource allocation issues must be faced directly, regardless of whether there is order or how stable it is.

In nature, the law of survival of the fittest is accepted without complaint.

Human civilization shines brightly, but that brilliance clearly cannot be eaten as sustenance.

All human civilization systems operate on a basic logic, the 80/20 rule.

Twenty percent of society’s elites occupy eighty percent of the resources; the remaining eighty percent scrape by on the leftover twenty percent.

It’s like when all mainstream media use a tone of despair to accuse humanity of causing ocean pollution, species extinction, and global water shortages...

And based on this, they continuously use a so-called tone of kindness to the world, squeezing the lower classes like cattle, while their voices disappear when it comes to the rapid maneuvers of the upper elite.

Wealth is not shared, yet sin follows.

And this is already the best era for the lower classes in human civilization’s journey to modern times.

Ning An fully understands Elder Shi’s ideas. Everyone becoming like dragons is naturally good, but there are two real problems that remain unsolved:

Firstly, on the technical level, can they indeed cultivate mutant crops and fruits as planned? If they can, can they increase production? If not, in regards to existing resources, distribution must be rigorously according to order, akin to the 333-tier prison, with food descending from top to bottom.

Secondly, in the realm of consciousness—what is the official stance? Will information and resources about these things be made public, or even widespread?

If these two issues are not resolved, all beautiful visions are just empty fantasies.

However, these are not concerns for Ning An. He merely mentioned them, then redirected the topic back to the Solvent Pillar: ”This Solvent Pillar, perhaps once granite, has been worn to become like this, but its current value far exceeds its previous ornamental worth.”

”Hmm? What value?” Elder Shi shook his head, tacitly moving away from the previous topic, and curiously inquired.

Elder Shi understood that this Solvent Pillar must have mutated!

Otherwise, those many strange snakes wouldn’t guard it as if in madness.

Yet scientific instruments, no matter how they analyzed it, just showed it as an ordinary piece of granite—even on the spectrometer.

”The Spiritual Qi it contains is very gentle and can be directly absorbed.”

Ning An touched the broken edge of the Solvent Pillar, marveling: ”On the Cultivation Path, no matter the practice method, it revolves around Spiritual Qi. The ancients focused on talent because the more talented could absorb more unclaimed Spiritual Qi under the same conditions, speeding up their cultivation.

But with this item, the unclaimed Spiritual Qi it holds can increase the absorption speed for those with poor talent, while the talented can grow even stronger!”

”Hiss!”

Upon hearing this, Elder Shi gasped.

According to Ning An’s explanation, this Solvent Pillar was on the verge of evolving into a Spirit Stone straight out of old manuscripts!

Just based on its previously mentioned traits, this stone was already a rare treasure!

Lowering his voice, Elder Shi excitedly asked, ”According to our previous standards, what level of Spiritual Qi concentration does this reach?”

”I think, with this item, we can redefine the standard from uncertain snake meat to this.”

Ning An patted the stone in his hand and said, ”This is only the beginning of the Spiritual Qi Revival. It’s already quite good, but there will certainly be better things appearing, so let’s use this as a baseline to set the standard.”

”Good! Tomorrow, let’s redefine the standard.” Elder Shi thought for a while and agreed with this idea.

After all, compared to living things, using an inanimate object as a standard is more reliable.

The two continued discussing other matters, and the conversation ended two hours later.

After all, with Elder Shi’s age, staying awake until this point was making him yawn nonstop.

After Ning An left, Elder Shi, suppressing his sleepiness, went to write a detailed report to his superiors about the current situation.

The report emphasized not only the immense value of the Solvent Pillar but also the foundational cornerstone for Dragon Country.

At the end of his report, Elder Shi added a note: The Solvent Pillar is a matter of great importance, please send someone trustworthy at once!

Naturally, Ning An was unaware of this, but even if he knew, he would merely chuckle.

As someone with golden opportunities, would he need such things for arduous cultivation?

That’s just ridiculous!

Besides, although this Solvent Pillar is trending towards evolving into a Spirit Stone, its quality isn’t high, and Ning An could deplete it with just a couple of breaths.

That it escaped Ning An’s notice was probably because the Solvent Pillar was whole, sealing all Spiritual Qi within, causing the unusual transformation.
