For "One Thousand and One Wishes," Lufeng felt quite emotional. Back when he played "Heavenly Dragon," he could earn a Third-Grade Ruby every twenty days, totaling about eighteen in a year, which was enough to synthesize four Four-Level Rubies. For an average player, this was definitely a significant fortune, especially in the current inflationary environment of Asking Heaven, making it an opportunity not to be missed.
The "One Thousand and One Wishes" event runs all day; the event NPC is Suzhou Liang Daoist. The event conditions are for all players above level 30. The event content involves a Wishing Tree appearing at Taihu. Players can use the item Wishing Spring to make wishes at the Wishing Tree.
However, the Wishing Tree has its limitations. Lufeng paid special attention to this key item and was surprised to discover that the Wishing Tree starts counting at noon every day, recording the number of players who have made wishes there. When the number of wishing players reaches 10,001, the Wishing Tree is activated, dropping a pile of gift packages in the surrounding area. After the gift packages drop, the recorded number of wishers on the Wishing Tree resets and must start over. The Wishing Tree can be activated three times each day; after the third activation, it will no longer count. This means that after 30,003 players have made wishes, the Wishing Tree will no longer accept wishes.
The only item for wishing is the Wishing Spring. All players level 30 and above can obtain one Wishing Spring each day by participating in activities such as "Invasion of Bandits," "Stealth Attack Sect," "Zhenlong Chess Game," "Loulan Treasure Hunt," and "Scripture Repository," where defeating the final boss will yield one Wishing Spring. Additionally, participating in the "Lucky Happy Three" event guarantees one as well, and completing 20 rounds of Sect Mission will also yield one.
Each Wishing Spring can be used to make one wish. Making five wishes under the Taihu Wishing Tree completes the task, allowing players to return and turn in their quest for apples. After accumulating 20 apples, they can exchange them for a Third-Grade Ruby, which is valued at 420 Tongbao in today's Tongbao Store.
After replaying these trivial matters about wishing in his mind, Lufeng approached Liang Daoist and slowly said, “Hello Liang Daoist, I heard that there is a magical Wishing Tree at Taihu. I have already found more than ten Wishing Springs and sincerely intend to water it. Please give me a quest.”
Liang Daoist was taken aback and did not respond to Lufeng's request but angrily exclaimed, “Why are you stealing my lines?”
Lufeng did not expect this misunderstanding and quickly apologized, “I’m sorry; I didn’t mean to.”
“Then were you doing it on purpose?!” Liang Daoist became even angrier.
For an NPC like this, Lufeng wished he could find a piece of tofu to bump into and quickly explained, “I really didn’t mean it; please don’t be so stubborn… dear, please give me the quest!”
Liang Daoist paused for a moment: “I only know where the kitchen and bathroom are; which one is the stubborn corner?”
“Haha~” Gao Chao and others laughed heartily while Lufeng felt like crying without tears.
Seeing Lufeng's expression, Liang Daoist felt he had gone too far and said again, “I’m sorry; I need to calm down. Where is this stubborn corner?”
Lufeng calmly replied, “You’re already inside it.”
After a long while, Liang Daoist seemed to understand but pretended to be knowledgeable: "Oh, I got it. To thank you, this One Thousand and One Wishes will be entrusted to you. You must nurture it with your true heart so that your Wish can blossom and bear fruit. Go ahead and make your wish!"
Lufeng was overwhelmed with gratitude and accepted this task—[One Thousand and One Wishes].
Task Objective: Defeat five Wishing Springs and make five wishes at the Taihu Wishing Tree. After completing this, return to Suzhou Liang Daoist to receive the reward.
Once Lufeng took on the task, Wang Xiaojing and Xiaoxiao also received the mission. With the flying dragon gifted by Xiaoxiao, Lufeng planned to take on the role of team leader for this task long-term, which would save a lot of time. However, in front of Liang Daoist this time, Lufeng felt quite embarrassed; fortunately, Liang Daoist accepted the task out of courtesy.
Subsequently, Lufeng initiated team riding, transforming the flying dragon into six equally sized dragons intertwined together, as if sharing one body with six heads and bodies, increasing in size sixfold and becoming even more spectacular.
As soon as the flying dragon appeared, Lufeng felt himself being lifted high into the air, securely bound to the dragon's body. Except for his upper body, his legs were completely immobilized; this safety measure ensured player security.
Lufeng smiled at the Critical Hit and controlled the flying dragon's direction with his mind; he could also input coordinates to reach his destination.
"Let's go!"
"Wow, that's so cool! Those lucky people just got two flying dragons taken away like that; it's really unfair! Everyone, go try your luck!"
"Stop dreaming! The odds are one in a billion; it's enough to drive people crazy..."
...
Gao Chao was overjoyed, continuously waving at the players below: "Hello comrades! Thank you for your hard work!"
"Oh my goodness, a small person has achieved enlightenment; even chickens and dogs are rising! Look at that guy; everyone quickly take a picture and post it on the forum. Let's see if I don't drown him in my drool."
"Oh my gosh, what a huge reaction!" Gao Chao said as he hurriedly crouched on the back of the flying dragon, covering his face with his hands.
"9494... Hurry up and take the shot, hey, if you have the ability, don't run away~"
...
The Flying Dragon was very fast, and soon it had shaken off those onlookers. Lufeng said calmly, "Gao Chao, do you think I should go back for a bit, so you can get your fix of this ride?"
"Don't, don't, don't! I know I was wrong. Riding this Flying Dragon feels completely different—it's exhilarating!" Gao Chao quickly changed the subject, not wanting to mention the earlier incident.
After arriving under the Taihu Wishing Tree, Lufeng was taken aback to see a few familiar faces watching his arrival.
"Hey, Lufeng! It seems we are destined to be friends. I'll keep it short; how much do you want for this Flying Dragon?" Upon seeing Lufeng, Extreme Radiance immediately got to the point.
Lufeng did not answer right away. He scanned the prominent figures present, including Bad Blade, Pinnacle, Royal Beauty, and others. Lufeng was curious: "How did you guess that I would come here to make a wish next?"
Extreme Radiance smiled calmly and confidently replied, "Intuition. Based on your journey, you should have drawn first, then faced the challenge, and now you're here to make a wish!"
Lufeng was momentarily speechless; he had been completely guessed correctly. He quickly regained his composure and said, "Tian Ge, and Xiao Mei, please don’t come looking for me next time. I'm just an employee under Aunt Wang now; I can't make decisions on these big matters!"
Royal Beauty's face twitched slightly but still granted Lufeng the privilege of calling her Xiao Mei. She said indifferently, "Lufeng, I'm giving you a chance now. Whatever salary Aunt Wang offers you, I'll give you double!"
Extreme Radiance's expression darkened: "Xiao Mei, what are you doing? Trying to poach my people? I'll give four times!"
Lufeng broke into a sweat; with this kind of tension, it really seemed possible that they would argue over him. He hurriedly interrupted: "You guys stop fighting! I won’t be leaving Myth Studio. I'm just a small character here; I'm honored that you all think highly of me. But many things aren’t about money. When we were lost and confused, it was Aunt Wang who took us in. We should be grateful. I believe my brothers wouldn’t sell their conscience for money either. In short, we were just lucky to get this Flying Dragon. Besides, why don’t you go look for Childish Can Also Become a God? He got the first Flying Dragon."
After hearing Lufeng's words, Extreme Radiance and the others felt quite disappointed: "He has even less hope than you do. Well then, since you value friendship so much, I'll consider you a friend. If you encounter any difficulties, come to me; I will definitely help you out. Don’t forget our previous agreement!"
"Agreement? What agreement?" Lufeng was taken aback.
"Flame~" Extreme Radiance reminded.
Lufeng suddenly realized, "Oh, understood. Don't worry, a gentleman's word is his bond."
"Four Horses are hard to chase!"
"Smack!" Lufeng and Extreme Radiance slapped their hands together, reaching a consensus in their hearts.
"We'll meet again!"
Lufeng was speechless, but he smiled faintly and nodded.
Gao Chao couldn't help but laugh, "These people really adapt to local customs. After entering Wen Tian World, they all started following the rules of the martial world..."
"Shut your mouth!" Wang Xiaojing interrupted Gao Chao, but she felt pleased inside; Lufeng's performance had satisfied her greatly.
Once Extreme Radiance left, Royal Beauty and the others also showed no intention of staying, dispersing one after another. Many were simply curious to see what kind of person Lufeng was. Even Lufeng didn't realize that his performance today had reduced unnecessary troubles for him in the future, essentially earning him a free pass.
Suddenly, Lufeng spotted the little girl—Royal Cutie. As she passed by him, she made a funny face that left Lufeng both amused and exasperated.
It wasn't until everyone had left that Lufeng finally noticed the Wishing Tree in front of him...
