Chapter 95 A Problem of the Wishing Sutra

“It’s all mirage. Fake is the norm. Every single one of the pictures you see in the WeChat Moment seems to be a ‘natural sculpture’. However, how can you tell that it did not take the person several hours to purposefully pick out the so-called ‘Hibiscus coming out of clear water’ from more than a hundred ones?” Xiao Hong looked outside the door as if he could see the models and other workers kneeling in front of the letter P in worship, “Of the pictures in the fashion magazines, which one is not produced with such efforts? It is just that those pictures are more professional and refined than those in WeChat Moment. ”

Xiao Hong chuckled to Hao Ning, “I watch them making these every day. Rather than shooting the faces of stars, it would be more accurate to say that they are changing the appearance of those stars into what people like in their mind. Speaking of that, it should be a kind of camouflage trick. ”

“Hmm?” Hao Ning felt that the term was a little familiar to him, “A camouflage trick? Is that the appearance in people’s heart?”

“Yep. When the thing that people want appears in front of them, no matter how crude it is, as long as it is what people want, no one will doubt it.” Xiao Hong thought for a moment, then asked, “For example, the pictures that you uploaded to your WeChat Moment, have you ever doubted that it is you on the pictures at all?”

“Of course, …not.” Speaking of Wechat Moment, Hao Ning remembered that Zhou Yuan had told him about the difference between his talents and camouflage tricks.

“However, this is only mortal’s method. Gods cannot do it,” Xiao Hong said with a face full of envy. “All of the changes of a god can only come from his own heart, not others. A god would be quite formidable if he got such skills.”

“Why?” Hao Ning was about to say that Zhou Yuan had the skill, but thinking about the “Maserati” that still needed to be stepped on back and forth, he felt too embarrassed to say it out, “Shouldn’t a god’s mana be stronger than that?”

“Mana may be strong or weak, but hearts are equal.” Xiao Hong looked at the screen and said, “If a god creates something using his mana, his trick would be easily seen through if he meets someone with a higher level of mana and relevant skills. It is because what he created is within his mind, not in others, so other people would naturally be picky about it. However, if he concerns of others’ minds at the beginning, it will be challenging for the other ones to differentiate truth from falsehood no matter how strong their mana is or which method they use. Because what they need to do is to differentiate the truth and fake in their minds, and it is tough for a person to doubt his mind. ” Just as he was speaking, Xiao Hong’s eyes lit up, “I found Qili’s wish that you were talking about, do you want to come and take a look?”

“Yes!” Hao Ning did not want to discuss this issue either, so he immediately went in front of Xiao Hong’s computer. “Damn! Isn’t it Excel? ” As Hao Ning looked at the form, he no longer wanted to bother why the Wishing Sutra was recorded in Excel. He directly saw the line of Qili’s name, which read: “If I could …” Then it was over. Hao Ning thought that the space on the form was too narrow, causing the words at the back to be blocked. Thus, he widened the scope of the form, and saw that the words were still “If I could…”. With a face of suspicion, he looked at Xiao Hong and asked, “Why did Qili’s wish become an ellipsis afterward?”

Xiao Hong looked at the screen and had a strange expression, “Eh? That’s right. Maybe he just made this wish halfway through.”

“No way,” Hao Ning answered with certainty. “When I was chatting with him just now, I heard him say that his original words were ‘If I could be that awesome, I would like to die’.”

“Such a big wish? What’s wrong with the children today?” Xiao Hong frowned and shook his head. He looked at the screen and thought, “If he did have made a wish, and I can only see a part of it, it means…”

“It means what?” Hao Ning asked.

Xiao Hong turned his head solemnly. He looked at Hao Ning and swallowed his saliva, “It means there is a hacker who intercepted the second half of this wish.”

“A Hacker?” Hao Ning retreated a step. His mind was a little muddled, “Xiao Hong, what are you talking about? You are a god after all. It’s so weird for you to say such a scientific term.”

“What nonsense! Do you think that a god cannot talk about science? Your philosophy of life is so strange.” Xiao Hong laughed at what Hao Ning had said, “Who said that gods couldn’t use the Internet? However, you must ask that Qili to figure it out. ”

“Were there similar things in the past?” Hao Ning casually asked, but he was thinking of something else.

“Of course not, it’s just — ah?” Xiao Hong casually glanced at the screen, but shouted out loud, “Why are there a few of that recently?”

Hao Ning curiously looked at the screen, and realized that there were a few similar situations, all of which read as “I … I hope… ” It seemed that Qili’s condition wasn’t the only one.

Just as Hao Ning was about to ask, his phone suddenly rang. It was Liu Shuai. “Hao Ning, how is it going there?”

“Well,” Hao Ning looked at Xiao Hong, and for a moment, he did not know how to reply, “It’s a little strange. I can only tell you in person.”

“Me too,” Liu Shuai said in an exceptionally calm voice. “Come over here. Be quick.”

“Now?” Hao Ning frowned since he was far away from Fu Tu Kang. “All right then.”

Just as he finished speaking, another person suddenly appeared in the office. Hao Ning looked and discovered that it was Li Longfei.

When Longfei saw Hao Ning and Xiao Hong, he chuckled and greeted them. Hao Ning’s phone was still ringing, “Don’t go out. Longfei is going to pick you up right now — — Eh? Where are you, Longfei? ”

Longfei shouted into the phone, “Coming!” Then, he put one hand on Hao Ning’s neck and the other on Hao Ning’s nose, and said, “Close your eyes.”

Hao Ning immediately closed his eyes. Before he even had the chance to speak, the two of them had disappeared from Xiao Hong’s office.

Xiao Hong was startled. He shook his head and sighed, “Indeed, water escape is more useful ah … …” After saying that, he frowned, “Shit, I should ask him what happened to uncle Monkey King.”

When Hao Ning opened his eyes again, he was already at the entrance of the Fu Tu Kang factory. Longfei told him, “Give me your ID.”

“Hmm?” Hao Ning was startled, “You can bring me this far, while you can’t just get in there?”

“How would I dare,” Longfei knew what Hao Ning meant. He had just brought Hao Ning along for a water escape for dozens of kilometers, but he did not directly enter the factory. Instead, he stopped right in front of the gate of the factory, so anyone would ridicule him for wasting time. Longfei scratched his head and explained, “This factory is under the control of that great god. Other than him, no one dares to come back and forth without restrictions. We better go in humbly. ”

After registering, Hao Ning got a blue card that said “Visitor”. Just as they were about to go in, a group of people came out from the side, two of them attracted Hao Ning’s attention. One was tall and skinny while the other one short and cute. The short one seemed to be in his early 20s, but he spoke arrogantly, “Liu Gong, we have made a promise on this Swift Lightning Route. The customers have ordered thirty thousand devices in Jingxi online shopping mall. Your goods must be shipped by next Wednesday. Otherwise, we cannot explain to the customers.”

Liu Gong, who was at the side, quickly agreed upon him.

Just then, the short man looked at Hao Ning in surprise and laughed. Then, the two got on the car and left in a cloud of dust.

Hao Ning looked in the direction the two of them were heading to and was wondering about the Swift Lightning Route they were talking about.

“Let’s go.” Longfei said to Hao Ning as he saw that Hao Ning was stunned, “They are waiting for you.”

After he arrived at the small meeting room where he met Zhang Quan last time, Hao Ning finally understood what Longfei meant by “They are waiting for you”. In the small meeting room, Zhang Quan, Qili, Liu Shuai and even Zhou Yuan were all standing there.

“Zhou Yuan?” Hao Ning smiled and greeted Zhang Quan, then went up to kick Zhou Yuan’s butt, “When did you arrive here, brat? You should be learning things from Zhang Chihang, shouldn’t you? ”

“Shit!” Zhou Yuan subconsciously dodged, “I’ve already been there for more than half a month, and I’ve learned all that needs to be learned, but why did you take so long?”

“Half a month? But you left with him just an hour ago — “Hao Ning thought about it and understood that Avalokiteshvara had probably used his special “ability” on time again. In just a short hour, he had experienced half a month’s worth of time with Zhou Yuan. Just like it said, one day in the mountain equaled a thousand years outside. So, he did not stop on this issue anymore and turned to look at Liu Shuai. However, he noticed that this brat was different from before since he was frowning with a strange expression on his face. Qili was still reading novels without a care in the world. Zhang Quan, on the other hand, seemed to be excited, although he was frowning.

“Hey,” Hao Ning asked Liu Shuai. “What did you find? Why do you call me here in such a hurry?”

“Ask him,” Liu Shuai opened his mouth as he wanted to explain, but in the end, he pointed at Zhang Quan.
